BB Bold 9700 :: Disable Firewall Without Doing Factory Reset?
Apr 22, 2010
I know BBSAK allows a factory reset which disables the firewall. My past three BlackBerrys have been new from the store with firewall enabled. This prevents some apps such as Ubertwitter or Qik from working-- it gives an error about the IT policy (even though there is none)
BBSAK disables the firewall yes, but as soon as you reload your backup, the IT policy reloads itself. So my question is, when you load your backup, how do you selectively UNSELECT your previous firewall settings? Which option is it? I don't want to have to manually put everything back again.
If anyone knows how to disable the firewall WITHOUT erasing all my personal stuff, I'd appreciate it.
And no this is not a BES phone, there is NO it policy, it was not purchased used, etc etc.

The progress bar has frozen approximately two thirds the way across. I have removed the battery and done the suggested soft resets but when it startsup the progress bar freezes in the same place.I have now tried the factory reset in the BBDesktopapplication. I get a message saying it is initializing and a small progress wheel is spinning. It has been like this for 6 hours and there has been absolutely no movement on the progress bar.

I want to reset my phone to its original factory settings but the only way I can do it is on my computer, the screen of my bold 9700 is completely white and I was told to wipe the phone clean and redo the OS. How to reset the phone on the computer, as I said, I can't do it on the phone itself.

I have a Bold 9000 that 'used' to be on a BES with Enterprise policies and such. I've gone through the company to remove all policies, and have even gone through the trouble of resetting the handheld using JLcmder.Everything was great been using it for about 6 months. I have finally upgraded to OS 5.0 and tried to install Sirius Radio on it, but get the error that my firewall policy will not allow it?
Checking my firewall, I noticed that it is in fact enabled with a lock beside it.I'm not sure if it was always enabled, but would of suspected that both the reset device settings and the removal of the policies would of done this?In any event, I've gone through the JLcmder and reset the settings. This allows me to disable the firewall. However when I try to restore my apps and data, the firewall setting goes back to being enabled and unlockable.Is there anyway to reset this and be able to restore my old data, apps and such without having my backup enable the firewall?
I've also tried backing up a net new config (after the reset device settings), then loading my old backup and trying to copy over the firewall policy (from the net new config) to no avail.On a side note, has anyone who has upgraded to 5.0 notice that their General Settings under their Security Menu has disappeared?

Regarding a problem with password on my 9700 Bold:
I have had a four digit Phone Lock on it for months, always the same, was operating the phone the same as usual one night, and the next morning, it wouldn't accept the Lock Code.
Entered the Password 7/8 times, then thought I had no choice but to let it reset itself, entered in the same Code, and it accepted it.
I didn't want to go through that again, so I went to Password Settings to remove the Password requirement, and it started all over again, not accepting the Same Password with which I had just unlocked the phone!
Fortunately, I have Backed up my phone in case it did get Wiped, but I would have lost some info that had been entered in between Backups, so I hoped I could get this resolved With Out the phone needing a Factory Reset.
The 9700 asked me to enter "blackberry", and I noticed that there was a tendency for the letters to jump to Upper Case quicker than I was accustomed to seeing it do.
As I have been writing this, I remembered that I had changed the Cursor Speed to Fast, so now I'm going to type in the password as quickly as I can, so I can be as certain as possible that it goes in as 'lower case' only, which, because of the characters being immediately changed to ****, I could not detect before.
Problem Solved!
I just breathed a Huge sigh of relief.
The phone has now been set back to the Original Cursor Rate, and the Phone Lock has been removed.
Security is important in case the phone is misplaced, so I set the SIM Card Lock instead, and at least if the Password gets messed up again, I can get a PUK Code from at&t, and unlock the phone that way, without the risk of wiping out all my contact information, calendar dates, and other personal settings.
I hope this information might be helpful to someone else, and I'm looking forward to learning more on this site.

I am trying to remove the BES IT Policy on my phone, I purchased the phone on ebay. I tried calling bell and they told me I had to get the person I purchase it from to call, when they calle Bell wouldn't give them any information becuase it was now in my name.
I down loaded the JL_Cmder but when I ran the program all it did was flicker on my screen and I didn't have a chance to choose reset to factory. Any other ideas? I love my blackberry but would love to be able to use my broswer

I have a 8530 Blackberry Curve that the firewall security is enabled and locked. I can wipe my Blackberry using JL Commander and get it to go away, but once plug it back into my Blackberry Internet Desktop Software, it locks it again. I have removed the blackberry desktop 3 times now and reinstalled it and still the same problem.I even went as far as doing a regedit and removed all blackberry information in that. I am stumped on this one. All I can figure is there is something in my desktop computer that is putting the security back on. Again, this is a personal blackberry being used on a personal computer.

If I factory reset my bb bold that was unlocked will it be locked again? I factory reset my unlocked bb bold and signed it up for a telus plan but now everything except the data works and telus said the data does not work because resetting the phone locked it again. But if the phone is locked again then why can i still make calls and texts? shouldn't the phone not work at all on their network?

My sound profiles are all jumbled up-- I.e. I messed around too much. I want to know how to reset to Factory Sound Profiles. I have tried wiping all data and only restoring contacts and that doesn't seem to work. For instance, after a full security wipe, my Normal Profile will have my Emails silent, SMS normal, and BBM new messages as silent.

I found the bold 9700 that I have now, and I've already unlocked it. It apparently has an IT block disallowing third party apps from being downloaded, I looked it up and to remove this it says to restore the factory default settings.

Is there a way to disable the lock and mute buttons on the top of the BlackBerry Bold 9700? I just received my new windshield cradle that grips it from top and bottom, and the buttons are invariable pressed accidentally for a variety of reasons. Perhaps an application that can shut them off, or some type if setting?

Been a while since I posted on here but I just got my new 9700 last week. Is there anyway I can disable the top buttons? I listen to a lot of music and when the phone is in my pocket I keep muting the music by accident and its really annoying.Glad to be back! Been on a dumbphone for almost a year now but the 9700 is surpassing all my expectations!
