BB (RIM) :: Best Place To Unlock 9100 & 9530 & 9700
Jun 12, 2010
I am a total newb and I tried searching with no luck. Hopefully someone here can help out.I am looking to unlock a blackberry pearly 9100, 9530 (storm 1 from Telus), and 9700.All mobile phone are on telus. 1 of the phone is under warranty (9700), 1 of the phones is out of warranty (9530) and 1 is still on its 14 day return / exchange period (9100).What is the safest way of unlocking these? I don't want to screw anything up.
I've seen codes for sale on the internet but I'm weary of trusting it. I live in Toronto, would it be cheaper to do this myself or go to Pacific mall at lunch?
I'm tired of waiting for Telus to get off their @$$ and tired of HTC telling me it's Telus' fault ... I want my TP2 to have WinMo6.5 or Android.Where in Toronto, would be the best place to get it unlocked and flashed?
Is there any way to place an icon on the homescreen which opens directly to a webpage. For example, I don't use the Facebook application due to preferring the mobile web based version but would like to open directly from the homepage if possible without opening the browser and selecting the bookmark.
I got a Blackberry Storm 9530 with Telus Mobility Canada and I am not able to unlock it. The provider said that it is a technology for Internation Roaming Card but can also accept SIM card. The problem is that on the net it says that it is SIM card technology and I saw some people unlock there Blackberry Storm. I have got a Internation Roaming Card in my blackberry storm. Can someone explain me why I have a BB Storm that can ONLY accept SIM card without using SIM card technology while everyone else in North America can unlock their phones?
I lock my bb my pressing the top left keypad lock button but when I press it again to unlock it it won't unlock!! The only way to unlock is to take the battery out and put it back in! It only started doin this yesterday.
I bought a Verizon Blackberry storm 9530, but without the sim card. I was wondering if anyone can help me unlock this phone so i can used it with my t-mobile. I own a t-mobile phone that has a sim card.
Well spring break is here for the most part and I'm heading to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I want to be able to fully use my phone without any outrageous out of country charges. So I'm thinking I need an unlock code right? How do I go about getting an unlock code and when I do get this unlock code will my charges still be completely normal even tho I'm in another country? Again I don't want any crazy charges for texting and such.
I am working with a user who recently switched from a 9550 to a 9700 (verizon to at&t) for coverage reasons.Whenever he unlocks his keyboard (using the lock button on the top left of the device), he must enter his password to access his phone. The security timeout settings on his phone are set to 1 hour, but even if he locks the keyboard for 5 seconds, he still has to enter his password when unlocking it.The only time that the keyboard will lock and unlock without requiring a password is when it is entered/removed from the holster.We are using BES.I cannot replicate this issue with the 9650 or 9550. Unfortunately I don't have a 9700 at my disposal to play with.Is this a normal feature for the 9700?I've checked his encryption settings (disabled).We cannot disable the password function (mandated by BES policy).The issue is not that he has to enter his password, it's that he would prefer that a password not be needed unless the security timeout has expired.
Less than a couple months ago, I got a new Pearl 9100. Two days ago I had to take the battery out and after I put the battery back on, the phone started to reset itself. It goes from the red light on the upper right corner to the Blackberry start screen with the white line where you can guess how much of the OS has loaded (percentage bar?)It loads about 1 - 2% of the bar and then it resets itself. I have tried to reload the OS according to the instructions providen on this site, but it is not possible, since the phone does not stay on long enough for the upgrade.
My Pearl 9100 will not, and has not since I have owned it, retrieve MMS. I get a notification that someone has sent me a message, my phone displays the message and says ***Not Retrieved Yet*** with a button underneath saying "Download Now" and "Expires mm/dd/yy/time". But after I click "Download Now", my phone does absolutely nothing. I have no idea what to do or where to start to even try to remedy this situation. My carrier is Bell Canada.
I am trying to find out which frequencies does the BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9100 can manage, because i want to buy one and it will be great if it can support 850mhz on UMTS or HSDPA either of them
I recently downloaded BBM updated version and rebooted the phone, which rendered the phone completely useless. It does not boot up, just gets stuck at the Blackberry first loading page with the status bar showing 100%.
I've had this phone a while now but I just can't get even simplest taks, installing a new theme, working!!
At the Desktop Manager > Application Loader, I browse to the theme but the only highlighted files are the ALX extensions... all the other COD and JAD files are not selectable! Choosing the ALX file still doesn't give me the theme!!
I have looked all around the internet searching for how to configure WAP and MMS after flashing. Supposedly you are supposed to use LGNPST (lab) to NVEDIT and change the WAP gateway, port, username, and password. I can change the gateways and ports but whenever I type in a different username or password it will not retain the value . Since it will not change the username or password I have set up a personal HottProxy using the default username and password, but it gives me the error "Connection failed. Please try again." I have also tried editing the values with LGDownload with no avail. If anyone has successfully got this to work please post the instructions here. I have also read about a paramtable that will store the username and password and allow changes to it. I preformed the hex edit with the third value changing it from 00 to 20 and that didn't do much. If there are links please PM me. Just as a heads up, I'm new to LG flashing (I usually do Motorolas), and am not really that familiar with all of these utilities. I have the LG VX9100 (VZW model) flashed to TELUS (CX91T09 or something like that).
My wife's Pearl 9100 has been having a lot of trouble backing up over BB Protect software, lately. It used to work perfectly fine before, but now it seems to start the backup and then it aborts after about 90% completion. Also the backup is extremely slow. The Pearl is connected through my home Wi-Fi router and we have 25 Mbps broadband connection, so there should be no speed issues at all, I would think.
I bought a defender for my BB9700 and works great, only thing is I try to lock the keys outside of the holster but it'll unlock on it's own. Not sure what happened checked all my settings and still does it. Can anyone shed some light?
Ok i dont get this. i just got off the phone with at&t to unlock my 9700 so my bro can use my phone and use a prepaid chip while on vacation. they told me that the phone does not me requirements to unlock the phone.WTF is that suppose to mean?? ok how do i meet the requirements lol
just switch from a 9000 to a 9700 and have been very happy.however the top lock/unlock key is a pain.I carry my phone in my pocket and while putting it in my pocket i always hit the unlock key, then i have an ulocked phone in pocket.Is there a way to turn off the top unlock key? while im at it i wouldnt mind turning off the standy fuction as well.
T-mobile provided me the unlock code to use which did not work; I have 0 tries left.Is there anyway. how I should go about fixing my hard-lock blackberry.
when i lock my phone using the lock button located at the top right hand side it will not unlock. the screen remains black, sometimes pressing butting lights up and shows the "keyboard is locked" message however i cannot unlock the computer. i have restarted the phone, and the problem continues.
I put a lock on my phone because of my son but it is appalling that the phone is not accepting the password. I have tried it 7 times and I have 3 chance remaining.
my phone was in my pocket and I assume I pressed a combination of keys. The vertical scroll on my track pad does not work on the main screen or in these screen that gets me to applications and options etc. unless I hold down the ALT button. Now this is extremely annoying especially when trying to move fast through messages and options.
Is there are key combo or a setting I can use to remove this? I do not want to have to press the alt screen to move up and down!
i have my yahoo mail configured on my Blackberry 9100.However i am not able to view allmy yahoo sub folders.Can anybody guide me on how to view the yahoo sub folders on blackberry 9100?
The "facebook" calendar entries on my Pearl won't download to Outlook since I downloaded the latest upgrade. I didn't know Facebook had a calendar. I have now deleted Facebook App - still won't download. I have searched to find the 77 entries on my phone but can't locate them to transfer to Outlook on my desktop.
Pearl 9100 3G v6.0.0.481, Platform 6.6.0.151 Recently upgraded to OS 6. however, when I had OS 5, when entered my password to unlock my BB, I can press and hold down my aA^/# key (to the right of the space/0 key, and to the left of the return key) and my BB would go into vibrate sound profile. If it was already on vibrate profile, by holding that key, I would go to normal sound profile. Now, when I hold that key down, it ask me "Assign a Speed Dial to the #?"
What must I do to get my Blackberry Pearl 9100 to ring more than one time. If I'm not right next to it, I miss calls since it only rings once. Where do I find the option to set the number of times the phone rings?
My Pearl 8120 is becoming unusable due to its faulty roller ball. I want to replace it with a Pearl 9100. My current carrier is T-Mobile and I'd like to keep it because three other lines are on this account with mine.I believe I can get a code from RIM to unblock the SIM, is that right?T-Mobile does not have the BlackBerry 6.0 OS.Assuming I can unblock my SIM, will the phone run on T-Mobile's system or will I have to change carriers?
I have one unlocked Pearl 3G 9100 phone. I use this phone using Pre paid card. I want to switch the SIM cards from different carriers. Currently it has OS v5.0.0.748 (Bundle 1262, platform 6.2.0.69).
How can I update the OS on this phone at present and in the future without getting it from any carrier? If I download it from one carrier and install it, does the phone works with other carrier SIM card?
My son called me on a different number to the one already stored on my phone and i want to add it to his name, short of going back to the 90's and writing it down and then physcially adding it to his name i can't see any other way of doing this.BB Pearl 9100 t-mobile.
