BB on Athena with WM6! Will pay for help, please

---

Well, I've searched the forum and I see where WM5 users have a hack to get BB on their Athena devices.

Is there a hack, or program mod to get BB on Athena with WM6? I've got a copy of the BB program. It tries to connect and something isn't allowing it.

Can someone point me in the right direction please? I need to get this working and I am a student and work full time. I'll be glad to contribute to your paypal fund. HELP.

I'm working on it. Stay tuned.

OK, got it working with AP Dual 3.0 by PK.

You have to do the following:

- Use a Hex-Editor and open the .nbh file from the update package
- Find the Text Unicode String: HTC-Athena and replace it with HTC-Hermes
- Find the follwing hex string:
1E3DA0E30D3083E3452FA0E30510A0E302 which means OS Version 5.2.1933
and replace it with the following hex-string:
4D3EA0E3063083E3452FA0E30510A0E302 which results in OS Version 5.2.1238
- Flash this to your Athena
- After boot use a registry editor and go to HKLM->System->Versions and change the vlue of Aku from .0.7.0 to .0.2.3
- Install Blackberry Connect Versionb 4.0.0.92 and go through the setup
- You're done, should work now

If some has webspace I can upload a fully modified version of the .nbh file.

Cheers

Is there a way to patch the official WM6 release from T-Mobile D? It comes as an exe File. No .nbh to patch.

I've tried to do a ROM dump this weekend without much success. Can you back up a little bit for some one that isn't as technically savvy as yourself?

Do I need to flash to the AP dual 3.0 by PK first? Then modify the hex strings. I'm not sure how to do the hex strings. How much web space do you need for the files? I'm not certain of the exact order to do this.

Thanks,

Jacquie

You can use winRAR or winZIP to extract the exe and then you get the .nbh.

However, to shorten things up I did the job for you and uploaded the ROM to RS: http://rapidshare.com/files/84205833...ition.rar.html
It is not tested but should work without any problem. If not, you're on your own, it's your risk to flash it.

I understand complete and appreciate what you have done here. All this has changed so much since last I flashed ROMs (CE2003). Thanks.

No problem mate, but the post you were quoting contains the link to the german rom. You have to use the other link I posted. Just wanted to make this clear to prevent you from accidently downloading and flashing the wrong file.
