SOLVED: Blackberry Connect with Custom Cooked ROMS

[Blob8me]

Hi All.

Its been a while since my last post on using BlackBerry Connect and the last time I posted the latest software I'd found 4.0.0.97 then NetrunnerAT informed me that you couldn't use it on a Non-Standard Operator Rom?

So - I've been using a Kaiser for a while - wanted to use some of the great looking Roms but with BlackBerry enabled and found that they had the same problem until I came across the following a couple of weeks ago and only today had the time to re-flash my DUAL with Mary's Rom and to my delight applied the fix and it works like a charm!

So here's a slight Tweak from the original post (link below and HUGE thanks to member elec.two who worked it out!!!)

First - Install Blacberry Connect software as usual and set up using desktop software - then:

1. Hard Reset (set up initial settings, connect to provider, its a total of two reboots iirc)
2. Change registry setting (HKLM\System\Versions Aku set to .0.4.2)
3. Soft Reset
4. Change Device ID to any value (Settings->System->About->Device ID)
5. Soft Reset

Hope you all find this a useful as I did......

P.S. Whats currently the best/latest WM6.1 ROM to use?

Please write what OS Version you use! Only AKU Value change work for some OS Builds, not for all!!!

If a PIN is pending or not, its a combination of "Device ID" "OS Build" "OS AKU" some times used Cell Provider too.

With WM6.1 change OS build and number OS Aku very easy..Just patch in reg and dsm :)

As Tom implies - in WM6.1 AKU Change and Device ID Tweak work as a fix. I've applied now on both Tom's Rom and on Mary Rom and both are working fine. Tweak is applied as per instructions using RegEdit. :)

I have the US version Touch Dual that I purchased from Best Buy. The ROM is stock ROM that came with it. I am unable to get BB Connect working on it. The BB Connect version I am using is 4.0.0.97.

Steps I have taken are:
1. Hard reset
2. Go through usual startup
3. Connect via Activesync and set up partnership
4. Use CERegedit and modify the AKU to 0.4.2
5. Soft reset
6. Change connection settings so 3G is off
7. Change Devie ID (both device name and description)
8. Test that I can connect to the internet (works)
9. Soft reset
10. Install BB Connect 4.0.0.97 CAB file from microSD card
11. Go thru BB Connect set up
12. BB Connect reboots the device


Below are the software settings on my device.

BB Connect Identity tab:
PIN: Pending
IP address: No Connection

BB Connect About tab:
Blackberry Version: 4.0.0.97
Transport Version: 4.0.0.95

Device Type: HTC-Neon

BB Connect Options tab:

ROM Date: 05/06/08
Radio Version: 1.65.20.19
Protocol Version: 25.86.40.04W

WM Device Information Identity tab:
Model No: NEON300
Platform: PocketPC

WM About Version tab:
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
CE OS 5.2.19209 (Build 19209.0.4.2) {the build prior to regedit was 19209.1.0.2}

I would appreciate any guidance on how to get the BB Connect working.

I have the same situation on a HTC P3470 / Pharos with Toms WM 6.1 and I'm also very interested how to get this fixed.
