I have installed that very blackberry connect 4.0.
in what language is the rom of vodafone Netherlands???? do you think it could be possible to install it on my spanish palm treo 750v????

can you navigate the net using the blackberry 4.0 rate???

thanks

[georgedorn]

The Vodafone Netherlands ROM is in english, you can install it on every Treo 750v (losing your spanish language of course). Seems that your ROM is too old to run 4.0, what's its version 1.12.a or 1.12.b?
Yes I can browse the internet via the new BlackBerry browser in the BlackBerry folder in the programs. With BB connect 2.1 you could only use the normal connection via your operators APN and the BlackBerry service stopped. Cool new features especially when you are on a BES!

when you say rom version, do you mean firmware??? if so, my firmware version is 1.12.0a.00

if not, where can I see the rm version???
if my rom version is too old, where can I donwload a newer vodafone rom version which let me use blackberry connect 4.0 properly???

other question is can you listen to the radio through the blackberry connection from your treo??

thanks buddy

[georgedorn]

Yes I meant the firmware version and yours is 1.12.a which is the first coming out for the 750v. As you have issues it seems that it can' t run BB connect 4.0. The newer Vodafone Netherlands ROM is easy to find in this forum, here is the direct link:

I never tried to listen to internet radio with the BB browser. I would not recommend that, quite sure that you have a 5MB limit or a similar one in your BlackBerry plan, could be an expensive experience :-)

ok thanks,

with this nwe installation i suppose i will lose my warranty, right??? if so, do you kno how can I dump my own rom version and keep it safe just in case i would like to downgrade my treo???

[georgedorn]

I don' t know how to dump your old ROM, I guess you'll need the original spanish one. Maybe other guys can help here?
Before you flash the ROM: Did you install BB connect on the storage card? It should be installed in the device storage! Did you try a hard reset and then install BB connect again? Any other applications like Active Sync running to sync your contacts, calendar and so on?

I installed it on the device storage memory, not on the minisd card. but i didn´t try a hard reset before it, do you recommend it?

[georgedorn]

Well before flashing a new ROM without the option to switch back I would try everything to get it to work with the old one. Normally when the ROM does not fit the BB connect client you see that no PIN is generated (PIN pending or something like that). Or you have a PIN but as soon as the client connects to RIM the connection is stopped cause RIM does not accept your device ID.
If you never get a PIN or never a connection to RIM then its definitevely the wrong firmware for the 4.0 client.
Good luck.

it generates a correct PIN and IMEI, but it doesn´t connect at all, and it does not appear the blackberry icon which theorically would let me surf the net using my blackberry service rate. Its installation causes a problem on my today screen as i said before, becasue it makes disappear all the calendar, contacts options,... and when i go to the today-screen configuration it doesn´t let me check again calendar, contacts, owner info,... because they simply don´t exist, they don´t appear as an option, the only option you can check or uncheck is the date, nothing more

what do you think??

can anyone help to translate the upgrading instructions please?????

thanks

[jumanji1212]

ok, don´t worry, I´ve just install the new firmware you told me and everything seems to be fine, except blackberry service 4.0. Now I don´t have the today-screen problem I told you before, the problem is that it does not connect and in the identity:

PIN: Pending
IMEI: Radio Off
IP address: NO connection

does anyone know how can I make it work???

thanks

After flashing the ROM (message "Update Success") you should first do a hard reset. Have you done that?
As you flashed the ROM you have lost your GPRS connection settings. Did you enter the Vodafone Spain GPRS settings in Start>Settings>Connections?
Also make sure by checking the task manager that no Internet Explorer or Active Sync are running in the background.

I just did a soft reset, i´ll try a hard reset right now

[georgedorn]

After installing BB connect 4.0 again, do a soft reset. Then make sure that the radio is switched on and check your GPRS connection settings. Then tap the BB symbol in Settings System. It will say "Preparing for first use" and after some seconds it will require another soft reset.

[jumanji1212]

I have just hard reset my device and install balckberry connect 4.0 again, reboot it, but still PIN pending and IMEI Radio Off.

I have´t install de GPRS connection settings yet, is it compulsoy to make it work???

I use blackberry as a personal user, not for enterprise. But if I install the blackberry connect 2.0 it just work fine.

[georgedorn]

It works for BIS (personal Internet Service) and BES (Enterprise). I tried both with this 1.12.0.c firmware without any problems. When it asks for the PIM options (calendar, contacts, etc.) you have checked no checkbox, right? And the Treo is not cradled or connected to your PC via cable, right? And Active Sync or IE are not running in the background, right?

I´ve just followed your instructions, but nothing is resolved yet. The PIN is still pending and the IMEI Radio Off.

[georgedorn]

Are you on UMTS? Try to switch the band to GSM only.
And check if you really have this at Settings>About>Phone:
Software Version: Palm Build 7, HTC Version 1.16
Firmware Version: 1.12.0c.00
That' s the version which runs BB connect 4.0 without issues, I' ve seen a lot of other postings in other forums of other people using it.
Also make sure that your BlackBerry provisioning at Vodafone Spain is correct.

where can i change that? i looked for it on the telephone settings but nothing appeared

[georgedorn]

Tap the antenna symbol on the top of the mainscreen.
Tap Settings
Tab Services
Select Band Selection
Network Type: GSM

Hi, many thanks pointing out the link for the BBC4 software. I downloaded the PPC version for my Treo 750v (Rom: TREO750-1.16-RWE). After I installed the CAB file on my device and ran the 'first time setup', it asked me to reboot which I did. Then the device hung on the bootup screen and the only way out of it was to hard reset.
I re-installed the clienta after the hard reset with exactly the same results. I have been using BBConnect v.2 happily on this rom but would really like to upgrade. Can you offer any advice?
Many thanks.
Sham

What is your firmware version? With 1.12.0a the 4.0 client does not work. Must be 1.12.0c (Vodafone Netherlands ROM)

[jumanji1212]

1.12.0c does not work either

Hi, thanks for that. I am using the English Vodafone Rom: 1.12.0c.00. Does that mean that I would need to install the netherlands Rom?

[georgedorn]

Maybe. I can only say that I flashed with the Vodfone Netherlands ROM (with miniSD card method, not with any kind of updater tool!) and have now:
Software Version: Palm Build 7, HTC Version 1.16
Firmware Version: 1.12.0c.00
With this version BB connect 4.0 works without any problems.

1.12.0c does not work either

Hi Jumani1212, have you flashed your device with teh netherlands rom? Am i right in that Blackberry Connect 4 hasn't worked for you?

I'm about to flash to the netherlands rom but would rather not if it hasn't worked for you.
Many thanks for all your help

Hi, just to let you knwo that I did upgrade to the Netherlands Rom and hey Presto! BBC4 is now working fine on my Treo 750! Really happy with.

Many thanks to you all for all your help.

Just have one question, I am syncronising my contacts from outlook. All my contacts have pictures so when they call me, their picture normally comes up on my phone. Now that I am syncronising with blackberry, pictures don't seem to come accross. Is this normal?
Thanks again,
Sham

[monster]

Hi, me again. I'd like to add that the NL rom made my treo very unstable. I couldn't even install TomTom (even after a couple of hard resets). I was forced to revert back to the english vodafone rom.

Sigh. BBC4 was nice for a few hours, though.
