Ok since we have threads for everything else I decided to post this one about using your XDA Exec, Universal, Jasjar as a Blackberry device.
Please post everything you know about this topic under this thread so we don't have to search all over the forums for this info.
I currently have an O2 XDA Exec running a T-Mobile Rom, spec are as follows:
ROM Version: 1.20.32 WWE
ROM Date: 11/16/05
Radio Version: 1.06.00
Protocol Version: 42.40.P8
ExtROM version: 1.20.120 WWE
Blacberry Active Sync Desktop Version 2.1.0
Blackberry connect software 2.10
Mobile service Provider Cingular
SIM card is GSM GPRS 3G my blackberry service is BES Blackberry Enterprise server and we use Lotus Domino as the Exchange server or PUSH server.
This ROM is slow and not very stable and is not AKU2... What I am looking for is a New T-Mobile ROM that works with the Blackberry software or any other new rom (WWE) that will work with the BB software.
I have tried many different ROMs but the T-Mobile one works but as stated is weak and un stable.
ok i'm dumb. i have a blackberry, and an XDA. i hate the blackberry, but the BES services are fine. how can i get the software to run my XDA as a blackberry? the BES server is owned/operated by my company.
thanks!
Flash it with the T-Mobile ROM apparently!

i doubt it. blackberry only purports to offer the blackberry connect software for the XDA O2, not the UNIVERSAL. also it's only provided to carriers in the UK. hang|man is flying the US colors. also the software looks like it's provided as a layered application, not as a wholesale ROM.
our IT department only allows BES remote clients. if i could run the software on a PDA i would be happy. hopefully it's not the whole blackberry application stack, that's the part that's the most akward to work with. i would like it to utilize the poutlook email/calendar/contact applications.
nah tmob deffo has it on my old rom it had its own blackberry set up,110% sure

mm really? are any of the roms on the ftp the one with the software?
I use the BlackBerry connect with a Qtek9000 with the latest official Qtek ROM. The blackberryconnect software (and the also needed desktop software to activate) can be downloaded from Vodafone in germany:
http://support.vodafone.de/index_l3_2z.html
It works great with my KPN (netherlands) BB UMTS simcard, I am using it now for a few weeks without any problems (Using BES4 with Exchange)
So the version offered on the site does work with AKU2 and seems to be operator independent!
btw:I am using the version offered for the VPA compact IV
ooo! swell! i'l load it up tomorrow thanks! i hope it works
The ROM I posted in the original topic is a ship set from T Mobile, I have an O2 Exec and flshed it with the T Mobile rom and then used the Blackberry connect desktop sync and bb software for the MDA Vario, it works fine.
I use Cingular for my cell phone and blackberry. What I did was take my sim card out of the new 8720 BB and put it in my O2. Everything works fine with the software.
Only problem is the T Mobile ROM is not AKU2 and it is not the most stable ROM out there. The Radio is version 1.06 and seems to do okay in the US.
I did get Ivans new AKU3 beta 6 installed and the BB worked for about three emails then it just went into an eternal signal hunt and would not connect to the bb enterprize server again, I reflashed with the T-Mobile rom and I got everything back. There must be some CAB files in that ROM that allow the BB software to work better.

Hi, are you using the aku2 Rom?
Thanks
Yes,
At this moment I'am only using the blackberry Connect for receiving my e-mail.
My Calendar/ Contacts and Tasks are synced by using Exchange Server Sync.
So both technologies can coexist!

Many thanks RommelAcc. Would you be kind enought to detail the steps to connect your universal to your exchange server through the Blackbery client? I've read elsewhere that you have to install / configure the applications in a specific order to get it to work. Many thanks for your help.

Nothing special:
Install the BlackBerry Connect Desktop on a PC running ActiveSync (4.2 in my case) and Outlook. You need an online connection to you Exchange server (I don't know to configure with Notes).
Install de BlackBerry Connect software on your PDA. And follow the instructions on the screen.
Start the BB Connect Desktop and select 'connect' this will generate an encryption key that is transferred to the PocketPC.
(The BB Connect cannot be activated over the air, you will need a dektop with outlook connected online to your exchange server!)
many thanks, for your instructions. will give it a shot tomorrow.
Cheers.
i installed my blackberry sim in my universal and the black berry software software is working ok for my too. i can sync email and calendar from outlook/exchange. i use activesync for contacts. seems to work ok. although too things have been happening:
1) the PDA hangs constantly on a call to the blackberry software/mailbox after a power off. but during the time between a reset and the power off, it works ok. just can't ever turn it off
2) the blackberry software has to be restated manually after a reset.
is it my ROM, or what... don't know.
edit: ok still playing with it... i had it installed on the SD card when i had the hangs problems. i reinstalled it in main memory, and it seems to be ok. is this what everyone else does?
I have it installed in memory, not on SD...
I had lots of problems with software installed in SD.
ok here's a probably dumb question. how co i configure a new internet connection to use the SIM card? i had internet2.voicestream.com, somehow i think this changes to something else, but i don't know what it is. i tried blackberry.voicestream.com, and internet3.voicestream.com but they don't work either. do i need a seperate data plan on this SIM too? odd, how the blackberry browser worked on the BB7390 then.
edit: when i try to add a different network setting and it's connecting (then failing) i see a 'blackberry' connection trying to reconnect too, but there is no connection setting for it.
do other people have this problem? or am i missing a setting, or do i need another data plan?
edit2: weird my blackberry mailbox is inaccessible. it's on the today screen, but inbox doesn't see it.

I had the same experience with SD installation. After reinstall onto Main me everything works fine except the fact that sometime the messenger does not see the BlackBerry folders. ****ty ! When i've created another email dummy account the BB folders reappears for 3-4 hours and then dissappeared again. After i removed the dummy account the BB folders appeared again, but... again only foor 4-5 hours. Donnot how to deal with it.

i have missing BB folder too.
i setup a wap.voicestream.com connection, and all my net apss seem to work now. what is the right thing to do?
edit: one more weirdness. i got a phone call from t-mobile when they add my voice plan. after this the BB application complained that it was 'block - radio in use' until i reset it. (the restart on reset problem seems to be gone, maybe that was from installing on the SD card)
I recently purchased the cingular 8125 running WM 5.0. My company uses Goodlink 4.9 to integrate with Exchange to our mobile devices. Previously had a Treo 650 and ran this without issue. Upon installing the Good software on my 8125 and setting the Good password, which our IT policy mandates, the phone switches to a white screen that has no functionality. I can see the conectivity status as well as a start button, but none of the buttons or stylus can change the screen. Shutting the phone off, or pulling the battery does not clear the issue. I've found I can solve the problem by performing a hardware hard reset and the phone operates fine until Goodlink is reinstalled. Thought it might be a memory issue, or corruption issue, but upon receiving a replacement phone from Cingular, the same issue came up. Unfortunately my IT depart, Cingular and Good are not helping, so hoping someone on this forum can.
Any Ideas?
I bought a Cingular 8125 last week and loaded Goodlink 4.9 on the handheld to synchronize with my work email, but have had no issues whatsoever. I know it's not the answer to your problem, but at least you know 4.9 should work on your new device with no problems.
Thanks for the reply, does your IT dept. require password protection?
This is just informational for anyone that runs into this issue. The issue was related to my old goodlink profile/device and trying to use a new device. The fix was removing my old goodlink profile and re-adding with a new PIN.
Yeah- Your IT dept should have told you that before you begin using a new device with Goodlink and your existing Exchange profile, the admin needs to remove your old device from the Goodlink server and send you a new pin to work when you install the Good software on the new device. My admin told me that the Goodlink pins (the one the server generates and sends to you automatically) are device specific and need to be changed whenever you switch devices.
Here is what I've done so far. Anyone with experience or anyone who has successfully gotten their setup to work, please chime in !
1. Install the JASJAM_WWE_1.20.305.3_1.20.305.104_1.07.03.10_ship.exe rom. Test. Works fine when connected by USB, syncs to any Exchange server with no problem.
However, When I try to sync to any Exchange Server or a different Exchange server through the GPRS connection, it sits on "Synchronizing folders", then "Looking for Changes" and finally after a few minutes of doing nothing, it just gives up and goes back to "Waiting for network".
2. As a test, I've tried to install a different ROM. This time ME_DT_WWE_1182553_106_10303_Ship.exe. Now when I try to connect to the GPRS connection, it retries the dial twice, then it "Dialed : open.softbank.ne.jp. Cannot connect for an unknown reason. Check your connection settings, etc.". This is after installing the SoftBank extended ROM and doing a hard reset, which worked fine for the previous i-mate ROM.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
logimob
Wireless OK
After doing some more testing, and changing back to the original i-mate ROM, it seems to sync to Exchange just fine using a Wireless connection.
However going back to GPRS, and it's back to doing exactly the same "synchronising folders"/"looking for changes".
To this date, I have never had a successful GPRS sync - has anyone else?
Japan users?
There are no Japan users with SoftBank GPRS ActiveSync working....?
Hi there, Andrew (you sent him an email) point me to this thread, and will try to reply here. Actually I didn't flash my X01HT yet, but I use Exchange daily on my HTC Mteor and HTC Universal with open.softbank.ne.jp, it works flawlessly. I am waiting for HTC Taiwan to send me back my HTC Hermes (Dopod) back from reparation to try.
But ! Even with my X01HT in Japanese I have sometimes difficulties to connect to the internet and I also have the same error as yours. So this is not really only a ROM issue here.
Now I hard reseted my X01HT and soft reset it before installing the Extended ROM, so there, I do not have any Softbank crap installed my my device and once the open.soft... stuff set I have no problem neither.
Finally I know that some ROM are not Japanese network friendly, for example on my HTC Universal, with an iMATE ROM, I cannot place any Video call, nor access to my voice mailbox correctly, I can dial 1416, but when I want to access to my voice mail... it doesn't work.
Now on ALL my device here in Japan I only install a Dopod ROM, they are, as far as I am concerned the best ROM ever made and with them EVERYTHING WORKS, and I will strongly advise you to try to install a Dopod Rom on your Hermes. If you do not have it on the FTP, I have one on my desktop at the office that HTC Taiwan sent me (HER_DopodAsia_1237074_1060010_WWE_SHIP)
Fantastic, I'll try to install the rom at www.dopodasia.com/download/HER_DopodAsia_1237074_1060010_WWE_SHIP.exe
and see how I go. Thanks very much for your help and ideas.
Sorry to hear about your sick HTC Hermes!

After flashing the Hermes with the new Dopod image, it keeps giving me a
Network Wizard error.
I tried adding the open.softbank.ne.jp settings, but it didn't work.
Then I replaced the Extended ROM with the Softbank Extended ROM. Then the settings for SoftBank were automatically configured - but don't work. It says "the current connection cannot be used for your request". Also, the network wizard comes up every soft reset and says "Your current operator (44020) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor".
This is kind of confusing - do you have any advice? Did you use the Extended ROM as it was?
Thanks very much for your help
"Your current operator (44020) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor".
Do not worry for that I have the same problem.
Now you are telling me that you cannot login at all, cannot surf at least the internet?
Just a quick thought... my SBS do not have a real SSL, this is a SBS SSL, so when I quote the box SSL connection in my Mteor or Hermes... it won7t work... try to unquote this box...
Hi there,
Thanks for your reply. I've been messing around on this all night/all day again, and I've made some slow painful progress!
Firstly, I'm glad you had the same problem. Now I'm reassured that the problems are not related.
Next up, I've been trying to get the internet working. I managed to get it to connect before, but whenever I tried to access any site through IE, I got the error "エラーが発生しました。リクエストが不正です。 wj46000e".
I have since done a few hard-resets, and now it doesn't connect, despite me putting in the connection details 10's of times. I now get the error "Dialed : open.softbank.ne.jp. Cannot connect for an unknown reason"
Did you ever have these kinds of problems?
What kind of extended rom are you using? I just copied and pasted the whole Softbank Extended ROM, which worked perfectly on the JASJAM ROM.
If you have any ideas, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks very much

I also get this error while ago... actually the first time I had my X01HT and with the Japanese ROM.
I really do not know what is going on with your device, I just hardreset my HTC Universal and put ALL the setting by hands, NO cab from crap Softbank, and it WORKS !
We should maybe meet one day, and try to let me see your device...
Fantastic - you're really giving me hope that one day soon I'll have a fully functioning device!!
I'll try restoring the original Extended ROM and inputting all the settings manually again. Hopefully it'll work this time.
I'd love to meet up for a chat and a show and tell session! I'd like to see your fully functioning device. Send me a private msg and I'll reply with my Skype/Email address.

Ok Will PM U, but just for reference I flash back my Universal to its orginal ROM and not the 1.90 that we can found here, and straight after the flashing, I put manually the Softbank setting and... WORKS ! I am sure you made a mistake somewhere this is not possible otherwise
Ah ok I see... so you installed your original ROM. Is that available for download anywhere? I'd like to replicate your setup as closely as possible.

I just tried installing the other Dopod ROM - with exactly the same results. "cannot connect for an unknown reason". This same stuff worked perfectly on the JASJAM ROM, so I am starting to think these problems are somehow ROM related.
Where did you get your ROM from again?

This is a Rom for my universal, not my Hermes, My Hermes with a Dopod rom will be sent back to me today. And since my wife want to use the Japanese X01HT I didn't flash it to US... anyway let's meet and check this out.
Guys, are you using the standard Softbank PC Site Direct connection?
If so, you'll never get Exchange Activesync working unless you uncheck the box for "This server requires SSL" AND the Exchange administrator has configured the system to allow non-SSL connections.
Softbank's "open.softbank.ne.jp" connection is anything BUT open. They are doing port blocking and currently appear to only allow port 80, 25, 110 unless you use Pocket IE. This means that ActiveSync and most IM applications fail.
Softbank is reported to say that they plan to begin supporting Exchange ActiveSync "sometime in December" - until then, the port is closed and there is nothing you can do to make it work.
The workaround is to use [email protected] (but this can get very expensive). [email protected] does not have any port blocking.
Anybody heard any updates as to when Softbank will stop blocking the ssl port for Exchange ActiveSync? Still scheduled for sometime in December? This is killing me . . . so stupid that they would do something like this but so typical.
I will die and rot away before these bastards open up SSL...

I have been looking through the Japanese sites as well but haven't seen anything. I just keep testing every day. Frigging bastards... I told my Exchange and networking team in the US about it and they had never heard of a Windows Mobile device that was blocked from syncing with Exchange SSL over the wireless.
I have a friend in Korea though with a Samsung WM5 device - his works with Exchange but other ports are blocked so he can't use IM apps. So Japan mobile providers are even more backwards than in Korea.
Hi, hope this issue has been solved already but just in case:
Softbank open APN open.softbank.ne.jp *did not* allow SSL port to go through, so you needed to turn off SSL mode of ActiveSync.
It seems, though, since a few days ago, Softbank opend almost all ports for APN open.softbank.ne.jp thus you should be able to use SSL ActiveSync without problems.

Glad to hear it worked. Now my interest is how Softbank is going to treat PC users trying to use X01HT as a wireless modem. I personally hope they provide unlimited usage for $80-$90 per month... (after April)
Please forgive me if this has been covered. I have scoured the forums with no avail. I am trying to get Blackberry connect to work on Cingular. I am using a Cingular 8525 latest Cingular rom unlocked with the blackberry connect unlimited plan. During installation of the bbc client, the service drop down box is grayed out. Once installed, the service shows stopped, pin pending, ip address not connected. Any ideas? I have tried the latest HTC South African rom, all different versions of the bbc client software, and various apn settings (blackberry.net). It seems like the bbc client is locked to specific roms. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem, never solved it, therefore I sold my Tytn.
I believe the version 100 (XDA Trion) doesn't work with BB.
I have bbconnect running on latest HTC ROM on Vod V1605, works very well.
dropped in first time, this is a corporate account connected to our BES server not a Provider BB Service. I do however have a BB account through Vodafone to access the corp BES.

Hi,
I have the same problem with two MDA VARIO II (T-Mobile (Germany) Version of Hermes device):
I called T-Mobile and got the information that HTC changed something on there device so that the Blackberry Software client will not work any longer.
This problem is very new and T-Mobile works with RIM and HTC to solve this problem.
The problem is that the Protocol version will not displayed on the last page of the Blackberry client and the client will not create a blackberry pin.
The very friendly T-mobile guy (Blackberry support line) explained my that there will be a new blackberry client or a rom / radio update to solve this problem.
For me I gave back both devices and will wait some time until the problem will be solved.
Perhaps someone here has another solution.

Hi folks,
I have just got myself an HTC TyTN and found this forum. I have been reading it for
a couple of days and managed to update the ROM on my phone to the latest HTC WWE version
on the wiki.
Loving the phone so far but I cannot get BlackBerry Connect to work.
I am running BlackBerry Connect 2.1.2.54 and using my UK O2 3G SIM which was previously
working great for BBConnect on my Nokia E61, so I know I am OK from the network side of things.
BBConnect installs OK, gives me a PIN OK, but when it tries to connect I get:
"Network Available" followed by
"Data Tunnel Available" followed by
"Not Connected"
I should mention that I am only using BlackBerry Internet Service, not the full-blown
BlackBerry Enterprise Service, so I have not installed the desktop part of the software,
only the client for the mobile.
I even tried to downgrade the ROM to the 1.35 version last night but the 1.35 updater
refused to let me.
Has *anyone* got BBConnect to work on the latest shipping ROM? Anyone have any details
about upcoming new versions of the BBConnect s/w?
Reg hacks?
I would be very grateful for any advice, will post back results.
Thanks,
Charlie.
PS: Is there any way to turn off the green flashing network status LED? It drives me crazy
PPS: If nothing will get BBConnect to work, anyone know of another solution to get my POP3
Yahoo mail pushed to my phone (I am UK based if that matters)?
I would appreciate some help with this same problem, but on Cingular USA.
New 8525, updated AT&T ROM, Cingular's Blackberry Personal data plan.
I was told by RIM they don't support Cingular and 8525, but I see many
users in this forum do have it working.
Have tried various version of BB Connect on my 8525, but they
all point to a blackberry.net IP address that ends in .189.
Some threads say it needs to be .192 for USA - is that my problem?
Thanks for your help !
I had Blackberry working fine on a T-Mobile Vario II, but last month that went back faulty (the dreaded lock-ups) and was replaced with a new unit.
I was unable to connect to Blackberry, getting the same response as Charlie. After much investigation TM were about to exchange the handset again when I received a call from TM saying that there was a known problem with a certain range of IMEI numbers on new handsets that were not able to connect with Blackberry. After checking we found that the IMEI of this new handset fell within the affected range.
I was told that it was a Blackberry problem, and that TM were expecting RIM to issue an update or patch to cure the problem. I decided then to remove the blackberry from my account and use other methods, so haven't pursued it.
So it seems there is a known problem with some HTC handsets, but as usual there's little being done about it!
bbc does not work with the new rom. to roll back, use the sdcard upgrade method in the wiki under rom updating for beginners.
this will take you back to 1.34..... sux.
wes
Can anyone else confirm that Blackberry Connect requires the original ROM?
As the previous poster said, that would sux.
Has anyone else been able to get the following to work?
1. Cingular US
2. Blackberry Connect Client (ver 2.1, not 4.0?) loaded onto 8525, running WM5
3. Get Client to generate a PIM
4. Use "Change Handheld" option on mycingular website to enter the new IMEI and PIN
5. Sucessfully access BIS
Please let me know which version of the 8525 ROM and BB Connect you used.
Thanks for your help!
Here's my setup:
1) Cingular 8525 SIM/CID unlocked (HardSPL 7)
2) Elf's 2.1 Crackberry ROM (WM6) - very nice stable build.
3) BBConnect 4.0.0.67 CAB
4) Cingular Blackberry Tethered Unlimited (both BIS and BES enabled)
Make sure you have a data connection working first.
BBConnect will issue you PIN after you click the Register button - you can see this in the BB Connect utility on your handheld.
You can then use this PIN and your phone IMEI on Cingular's BB site:
http://mycingular.blackberry.com/
Don't forget to download the Service books.
If your company has Outlook Web access for Exchange Server you can avoid BES.
BBConnect only allows 3 email boxes on a non-BB device.
Everything works fine except that the BB Service hogs the wireless connection so that I sometimes have problems with other services require internet connection.
Toss that Cingular ROM (even the latest 2.15 update) - it's worthless and a real headache - very unstable
I'm getting ready to install this, can you explain this comment:
