BB Storm 9500 :: Network Blocked / No Valid Sim Card
Feb 25, 2010
A Verizon Storm2 I bought used from a Vz customer who switched to an Android. Sold me the phone without the Vz sim in it, I didn't know I needed it. Got an unlock code and tried to enter ir with the T-mo sim in it, says no valid sim card.Always comes up with "do you want to enter MEP unlock code" after pulling battery, but when I press yes nothing happens. This is with the original Vz sim installed which I realized I did need to enter the unlock code.Going to the sim screen shows "no valid sim card" so I can't get to the MEP2 screen to enter the unlock code, this is with the original Vz sim installed.I want to use this on T-mo but am willing to register it on Vz long enough to unlock it, but even Vz says it's blocked.I really need a clue.

I recently bought a new strom 9500 from a friend at work, it came with all the trimmings (box, cables, charger etc) and was purportedly used by my friend (who bought it new) before I bought it.When I put a new sim into it (vodaphone contract sim) it reads invalid sim , it shows a box saying "do you want to enter the sim card pin?" with a yes or no option to click, i click yes i want to enter the code, but it won't give me an opportunity to enter a code!Please help i love the phone but cannot use it and i worry that it is blocked!

I just have bought STORM 2 from some guy, and I put my GSM card (with BIS activated and working on my BB CURVE 8900), but I can't register for BIS on my network. Everything is working, like calls, SMS, GPRS, MMS but BIS can't tbe activated.When I try to go on my operator's webpage to register my phone, I get this message:Cannot create account: Your BlackBerry® Internet Service Account is suspended or deactivated. Please contact.your wireless service provider at XXX XXX XXX.What to do? What seems to be a problem? IS this phone blacklisted, or something?

Has anyone else experienced this. I have a BBStorm.
I did not know my media files were saved on my SD card. I thought they were saved on my device.
In the options, under Memory, it says Media Card cannot be read. Verify that the memory card has been formatted.
First I took the memory SD mini card 8G out and put it back in.
Still same message.
So then I went to Format and formatted it...as it asked me to do.
Error message came up. Saying Format Failed.
However all my files are gone.
I am so mad that my blackberry told me to ensure it was formatted. Everything is gone off my BB.
Is there a way to recover this data?
I haven't backed up my BB before.

If I purchase a Bell Mobility locked 9530, and then unlock it, can I put in a Rogers SIM card and will everything work fine? I have only ever had GSM/SIM card experience and am not sure if the 9530 is a CDMA phone with no SIM card.

Like the title says my storm from Verizon will not turn the radio on. I pulled the battery, did a soft reset, and obviously went to manage connections but for some reason the phone wont find the network. Any thoughts on what i can do?

I recently bought an unlock code for my Verizon branded Storm 9530 and am a bit confused as to what networks I can actually use it on. From what I understand I can now use the phone on any CDMA or GSM network. except for Sprint (because they won't activate unlocked Storms)?

I have used a Mio Mitac which had a GPS based on SirfStartIII chipset. The point is this is a true GPS that shall work even if I am not on any carrier / have not inserted any SIM card. With such a GPS there are no data charges.Want to know if the GPS on 9530 fixes its location via GPS satellites or with data connection / network towers.

I've just received an used Blackberry Storm 9500. I know it has not built-in wifi, but I was just wondering (and I read some things about it) if with an Sd+Wifi Card could wifi work. If it can, how? Which card should I buy (that you know it works), how can I configure it/which app should I install afterwards?

I upgraded to a new Bold 9900 in November with T-Mobile, and went to Dubai for winter vacation in late December. I frequently visit there and have a local SIM card, and previously I used an unlock code from the internet to unlock my old Bold 9700 so that it accepts the Dubai SIM card (and for the past year and a half I been using this unlocked Bold). I tried doing the same thing like I had done before this time around with my new Bold 9900, but like an **bleep** that I am, I used up all ten MEP code tries with the device, and now the phone network is blocked. Every time I put in either the Dubai or T-Mobile USA SIM card, it says on the top "Invalid SIM Card". Also after rebooting, it always asks me that I need an unlock code to unlock the card, but when clicking "yes", it just does not do anything, same thing goes with clicking "no." Now that I am back in the US again, the US T-Mobile SIM card still does not work with the phone. If anyone knows what the right procedures are to go about getting my blackberry working again and getting the network block to go away so I can start using my T-Mobile SIM Card?when I go to the SIM Card settings on the device, it reads: SIM: Disabled Network: Blocked Network Subset: Disabled Service Provider: Disabled Corporate: Disabled Once again?

I bought my storm a few months ago and always assumed that the 8gb card it came with, worked. Recently, I started getting apps and themes, and went to my memory and my total memory is 879.2 MB. There is an 8 GB card in it but says there is not one inserted and everything is enabled...

I have the Storm 9530. When I connect it to my PC with USB cable and look at the storage card like another drive, I see two of every picture that I have taken. Why is this?

I've searched high and low for people posting about a similar experience, but after trying several different suggested methods, nothing seems to work.First off, I have a Napter-to-Go membership that I use exclusively on my Storm.This type of setup requires that I plug my Storm in and sync it to Napster every month or so in order to validate the DRM on each song. I noticed about a month ago that even after plugging my phone in and syncing that some files were not being validated (they won't play at all).
I was told that my best bet would be to reformat the card (specifically remove the music file) and start fresh.Unfortunately I've attempted doing this on several levels, including:
- Manually deleting every song via Napster (didn't work)
- Accessing JUST the memory card and attempting to delete the music folder AND after that failed (told me something about write protection) I attempted to reformat the entire card, which also failed.
- Using Blackberry Desktop Manager and attempting to delete said music via the Roxio program, which only froze after I attempted to access a listing of my music.

Whenever I connect my Storm to my laptop to transfer videos on to the media card in my Storm, when I disconnect it, and go to media:video, every video that I have ever had on my phone is listed. A battery pull refreshes the list, and it then only shows the videos that are actually currently on the card. Is there any way I can refresh the list without rebooting?

I have a 9530 that is unlocked, that I am trying to use in Colombia, South America. It shows I have a signal, but there is that red triangle at the top of the screen, showing that I have no service. I know it is unlocked because everything says security disabled... I also changed the phone number to the SIM phone number, but still am getting nothing...

My Storm 1 crashed Sunday night with message on screen stating 'Reload Softwares 552'. I called Verizon Tech Support and they just ended up giving me a brand new Storm 2 for free! All I had to do was re-sign my contract for another two years. Gonna miss my Storm 1 but the Storm 2 is sweet! Just got it today. Anyone wanting to upgrade, try using that excuse.

I recently updated the software on my Blackberry Storm 9500 to version 5.0 and now i cannot send mms (though I can still receive mms).I have spent over 4 hours on the phone with my carrier (Vodafone) and they have no idea why I can no longer send mms. I tried downgrading the software and found I could send mms again.Is there any way of fixing it so i can have the newest version of software on my Blackberry and still be able to send mms?
