Just wanted to give you all a quick update on the IM+ for the BlackBerry PlayBook Delay. Our friends at Shape Services has spoken out and here is what they had to say:

Shape’s Development Head Alex and myself just had a talk with Tyler Lessard, RIM’s VP, Global Alliances and Developer Relations.

Tyler was really friendly and helpful and we have now a hope that IM+ for Playbook will be approved within two weeks or so. We understand that to approve such an complex app can take the same time or more as the development of IM+ for Playbook itself. Just as remember, the app is now for two months in the testing queue.

And the best of the talk: after years of our requests to RIM we got from Tyler a promise to consider BlackBerry Push usage for IM+. It would make user experience on the BlackBerry platform the same kind of beautiful like on iOS.

Please continue to follow-up the story, it will really help to make things done. And to celebrate the moment we will offer to our friends from CrackBerry.com 25 free licenses of IM+ Pro for BlackBerry right now and 25 free licenses of IM+ for Playbook after release.

It is nice to hear that they are making progress on the application making its way to BlackBerry App World for the BlackBerry PlayBook. The Application is one of my favorites and would love to see it on the BlackBerry PlayBook!

How to Communicate With Other Blackberry Users

Pin messages are the fastest way to communicate with other Blackberry users via text. This article explains how you can make use of these to communicate with others who own a Blackberry phone.

Steps

1. Be aware that every Blackberry has a specific PIN (personal information number). PIN messages are from Blackberry to Blackberry and the fastest way to communicate via text.
2. Set the profiles to react differently when receiving PIN messages also know as "Level 1 Messages". If you want to say something to somebody with a Blackberry, but don’t want a copy of it on the email server or their desktop, then you can PIN them.
3. Look for the receipt notification. When you compose and send a PIN the device will show you that they received it.
4. Populate your PIN. While composing an email typing “mypin"? will populate your PIN.

Things You'll Need

• Blackberry phone

This article will teach you how to retrieve the unlock code and enter it into your Blackberry 9000-series phone AKA BlackBerry Bold so that it may be used with any cellular network SIM card.



Step 1
First, you need to get your Blackberry's IMEI code. This is a unique identifier of your phone, like a serial number. You can access this code from your phone: 1) Turn your phone on. 2) Click on the "Phone" icon. 3) Enter the following symbols: *#06# 4) After entering the final # symbol, a message will appear displaying your IMEI number. It is a 15-digit number in the format XXXXXX.XX.XXXXXX.X

Step 2
Second, you have to get the unlock code. This can be purchased on the internet, or you may call your cellular provider. Either way, they will ask for the IMEI code which you determined in step one of this tutorial. Move on to step 3 when you have received your unlock code.

Step 3
Follow these instructions exactly to unlock your phone:

1. Make sure your SIM card is NOT inserted into the device.
2. Turn on the phone and click the "Manage Connections" icon.
3. Choose the option "Turn off all connections."
4. The cellular radio will be turned off.
5. Go back to the Home screen and click the "Options" icon and select "Advanced Options."
6. Scroll down and select "SIM Card" from the list.
7. Press the following keys in order: (M) (E) (P) (E)
8. A prompt will appear asking for the unlock code. Input the 16-digit code exactly.
9. Reboot your device.
10. Re-enable the cellular radio

WARNING

1. Be sure to remove the SIM card and disable the cellular radio as instructed.
2. The unlock code is specific to your IMEI so you cannot use a generic or friend's code.
3. If you fail to enter the unlock code 5 times, the phone may be permanently locked to your cellular network.

Official Workaround For Connecting A BlackBerry Smartphone To A PlayBook Using BlackBerry Bridge!

BlackBerry Bridge is an app for BlackBerry smartphones that allows you to connect to your BlackBerry PlayBook to get access to your email, calendar, contacts, memo pad, tasks and more. The problem: AT&T blocks usage of BlackBerry Bridge. The solution: use RIM’s official workaround.

That’s right! RIM yesterday published a knowledge base article (KB26699) in the BlackBerry Technical Solution Center (BTSC) offering a workaround for those having a hard time setting up BlackBerry Bridge. If you’re getting any of the following errors, you’ll definitely want to try it out:

• “Unable to connect BlackBerry® Bridge with BlackBerry smartphone. Please ensure you have BlackBerry Bridge installed on your device and turned on”
• “Unable to pair with playbook. Try again”
• “Failed to pair with BlackBerry model”

The workaround involves disconnecting and deleting any current settings and changing some Bluetooth settings. I haven’t had a chance to try this out yet but when I do I’ll leave a comment below and invite anyone else that tries it to also leave a comment with feedback. Check out the full workaround below!

Environment

It’s happened to all of us at least once, especially when we get our first BlackBerry smartphone. You add a contact to BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) and what happens? They’re stuck as pending and you don’t know why! This issue can lead to mini tantrums if not fixed as soon as possible. That’s why I decided to post about the recently published KB12319 on RIM’s support site which offers some help for this problem. Here are some of the causes of a “pending” contact:

• Network delays
• The BlackBerry messenger request is being sent via email and the acknowledgment was placed in the users SPAM/Junk mail folder.
• There may be corruption in the BlackBerry Messenger installation or contacts list.
• The PIN of the recipient or the sending BlackBerry smartphone is not active on the wireless network.
• The incorrect PIN was used when sending the request.

If you’re experiencing this problem be sure to check out the full guide below with info on how to possibly fix and avoid future “pending” issues. Let me know if you found this helpful!

Cause 1

• Network delays

Resolution 1

1. Send a PIN message to the contact to verify the PIN delivery status. For instructions, see KB02913.
2. Determine whether there is a delay with the PIN message delivery.
3. If the PIN message was not sent successfully, verify the signal status and contact the wireless service provider if there is an issue with PIN message delivery.

Cause 2

• The BlackBerry Messenger request is being sent via email and the acknowledgment was places in the users SPAM/Junk mail folder.

Resolution 2

1. Log in to your email account
2. Check the SPAM/Junk folder.
3. If the acknowledgment is there, mark it is as not SPAM/Junk and wait for the BlackBerry® Internet Service to deliver the message to your device.

Cause 3

• There may be corruption in the BlackBerry Messenger installation or contacts list.

Resolution 3

1. Make sure that a backup has been made of the BlackBerry Messenger contacts. For instructions, see KB12487.
2. Remove and reinstall BlackBerry Messenger using the Application Loader tool in BlackBerry® Desktop Manager. For instructions, see KB03621.

OR

Clear the BlackBerry Messenger contacts list through the Backup and Restore tool in BlackBerry Desktop Manager. To perform this, complete the following steps:

• 1. Open BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
  2. Connect the BlackBerry smartphone to the computer.
  3. Double-click on Backup & Restore.

Early this morning I mentioned that BlackBerry Bridge was available for download through App World. A bunch of readers let me know they were having problems downloading it so if you are too, you’re not alone. I was having some trouble too but was able to download it after resetting App World. Here’s how to do that:

1. Open BlackBerry App World
2. While at the main screen hold ALT and type RST.
3. Wait for App World to close and then re-open it.
4. Once App World is open again, search for “BlackBerry Bridge”.
5. Click Download.

In the event that your App World still doesn’t give you the download option after resetting it, the other way to install BlackBerry Bridge is by using the browser plugin. Here’s how to do that:

1. Download the App World plugin here.
2. Go to the App World at http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/ through a desktop browser.
3. Sign in using your BlackBerry ID.
4. Search for “BlackBerry Bridge” and then click on Get Details.
5. Click on Download.
6. Follow instructions to sync the app using a USB cable.

If neither of these steps work for you hopefully RIM will post a dedicated page on their site with a direct download. If they did work or you have another workaround figured out, be sure to let me know in the comments and stay tuned for a video on BlackBerry Bridge!

JL_Cmder is a must have tool in practically every BlackBerry users arsenal. Jerry let me know about a new free alternative to JL_Cmdr called BBSAK (BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife). This tool developed by the team at RIMGeeks lets you perform some of the functions that are in JL_Cmdr. The main difference is that BBSAK has a prettier interface. The pretty interface is courtesy of .NET 2.0 so you need to have that framework installed.

From the BBSAK interface you can:

• Wipe Blackberry leaving a 507 error
• Reset Blackberry to factory state removing any IT Policy
• Take Screenshots of your Blackberry.
• Install COD Files

Its all pretty simple and the app is free at this link. The only catch being that you need to register at the RIMGeeks forum to download the app. A small price to pay but still its a bit tiresome.

USED BADLY CRACKUTIL WILL MESS UP YOUR PHONE SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

YOUR PHONE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE PC BEFORE YOU RUN CRACKUTIL

CRACKUTIL IS A BIT MORE POWERFUL THAN JL_Cmder but has a nice friendly user interface. This makes it easy to use and easy to destroy your phone's Operating System. It also helps a great deal when recovering and maintaining Blackberrys.

I expect several revisions of this program over the next few months.

CrackUtil relies entirely on Javaloader.exe to provide its functons. Javaloader is a clever program but does not provide much in the way of error reporting. If something happens that it does not like or understand then it just stops. If Javaloader stops then so will CrackUtil. There is noting that I can do about this.

I have therefore tried to provide functions that do not break in normal use.

Please give me feedbak on what you think of this new tool as I am anxious to improve it as much and as quickly as possible.

As usual, PLEASE READ THE HELP TEXT before you try brain surgery on your BlackBerry.

What CrackUtil Is Designed To Do
CrackUtil is a free program designed to be a Swiss Army Knife tool for your BlackBerry phone.

CrackUtil has several functions. To use CrackUtil, you must first connect your BlackBerry phone to the PC via a USB cable. Do not run Desktop Manager at this time.
Since CrackUtil uses the RIM tool javaloader.exe all the actual javaloader commands issued by CrackUtil are shown at the end of the CrackUtil button selection description i.e. Command: javaloader –usb wipe -f

The first screen that displays will be the password screen and here you may put in your phine password should you have one. The password will be retained for the CrackUtil session in an unencrypted program variable. This is a minor security risk since the password may remain in the PC’s memory after you exit CrackUtil. If this is a concern then you should power off your PC at the end of the CrackUtil session.

To continue to CrackUtil, please enter your password and click OK. If you have no password then you may click either OK or Cancel. The CrackUtil opening screen will be displayed.


GENERAL SETTINGS - SAFE



Here you may carry out various non-destructive tasks to your phone. The worst you can do here is to erase the log on your phone.

Notice that the current Operating System version is displayed in the bottom left of this panel.

The various functions here are

Set Device Time which simply sets the phone time to be that of the PC. Command: javaloader –usb settime

Take Screenshot which takes an instantaneous screenshot of you BlackBerry and then opens MS Paint so that yo may viw the image and then save it in whatever format is available in whichever folder you wish and the filename of your choice. Command: javaloader –usb screenshot BBScreenshot.bmp

Retrieve Event Log copies the phone’s Event Log to a text file on the PC. The Event Log is the same one that you see when you type Alt-LGLG on the keyboard. This Log is useful when debugging the phone. You may save this file wherever you wish. The file is initially stored in Program Files\CtrackUtil\EventLog.txt. Command: javaloader –usb eventlog

Clear Event Log simply erases the data in the Event Log on the phone. Command: javaloader –usb cleareventlog


FILE MANIPULATION - INTERMEDIATE



Again the OS version is present and for good reason.

Retrieve File Listing will, after a short delay display all the OS files loaded onto the BlackBerry. Command: javaloader –usb dir



Filename, version (same as OS mostly) and size in Kb are displayed.

Remove File from Device will erase a file from your Blackberry. The file is not lost however. It is stored in Program Files\CrackUtil or Program Files (x86)\CrackUtil under Vista 64 bit. Care needs to be taken when using this function since CrackUtil will remove any file selected regardless of its name or need on the Blackberry. It is possible to completely brick your phone if you inadvertently remove the wrong file so please be careful when using this function. The phone will often reboot after a file remova operation. Command: javaloader –usb savefilename javaloader –usb erase -ffilename

Load File to Device will load a .cod or a .jar file to the phone. Loading files is NOT THE SAME as installing them via Desktop Manager. This function is included so as t allow experienced uses to manipulate their phones file system. Serious damage can result if files are loaded without careful consideration and prior knowledge of OS compatibility. This is one reason that the current Device OS version is displayed on this panel. Command: javaloader –usb loadfilename


CLEARING SETTINGS - ADVANCED



ALL SELECTIONS ON THIS PANEL WILL AFFECT THE FUNCTIONALITY OF YOUR BLACKBERRY PHONE.

A prompt is included on all the selections below and a continuation password must be correctly entered including case before the action will be carried out. Once the continuation password has been entered, the selected action is immediately actioned. All three functions have separate password that are clearly displayed above the data entry field.

Before attempting any of the command below you should first sync your BlackBerry and then do a Backup. This will safeguard your personal data.

Wipe Device Applications Will remove all data from your phone and will remove all applications as well. The phone will be set back to JVM Error 507 except for the IT Policy which will remain. Command: javaloader –usb wipe -a

Wipe Device File System immediately wipes or bricks your phone back to JVM Error 507 (No Operating System installed) except for the IT Policy which will remain. Command: javaloader –usb wipe -f

Reset IT Policy will reset the phone’s IT Policy to factory normal. Command: javaloader –usb resettofactory


BlackBerry Phones Supported
CrackUtil has only been tested on 8000 series phones to date. It may work on other models but you do so at your own risk.

Operating Systems Supported
CrackUtil has been tested on Microsoft Windows XP (Home and Professional), Microsoft Vista Home Premium and a version of Microsoft Vista 64 bit.

Microsoft Vista users (all versions) need to make a one time fix to the installation of CrackUtil and of javaloader.exe after installation and before use or the program will fail to copy files as it needs to.


SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MICROSOFT VISTA USERS

Microsoft Vista is a very secure environment and for good reasons it objects to some of the things that CrackUtil does within the Program Files folder.

Under Microsoft Vista you need to take additional step is needed after installation on all versions.

Right click on the CrackUtil icon and scroll to Properties.



Select Properties and then on the next panel, select Compatability and then click Run this program as an administrator. This only need to be done once right after installation.


Note the check in the Run this program as an administrator box.

This only has to be done once.

This procedure needs to be repeated for the program javaloader.exe which resides in the C:\Program Files\CrackUtil folder with CrackUtil.

Here's the full fix for making work again under Windows 7.

I run Windows 7 x64 on all my PCs and I found that CrackUtil would not run after installation until I did the following.

- Install as normal.
- Open up the root folder of C:\ in Computer
- Open up a second window pointing to C:\Program Files x86.
- Drag (Move) the CrackUtil folder from Program FIles to C:\
- Open C:\CrackUtil and right click on javaloader.exe.
- Select Properties and then Compatability.
- Set to run as administrator
- Repeat this with CrackUtil.exe.

Research In Motion's BlackBerry OS is the OS that is highly reliable and secure and very difficult on the wear of the virus. Some degree, according to TrendMicro, has spread a new virus attack that target to BlackBerry SMS feature

The ZeuS malware specifically targeting the BlackBerry OS is currently detected as BBOS_ZITMO.B. Just like its desktop counterpart, this ZeuS variant does not display any graphical user interface (GUI) that can prompt users about the infection. Instead, it removes itself from the list of applications, in order to effectively stay under the radar.”

Once the ZeuS trojan has been successfully installed it sends a confirmation notice to the administrator that it is ready for more commands, as shown by the image above. BBOS_ZITMO.B also lets the admin change it’s forwarding number using SMS virus, in the event the original number were to get tracked and deleted.

Zeus Trojan SMS Virus
According to the analysis, Zeus Trojan virus can do:

• Display SMS: Unmonitored SMS will be treated as a normal SMS and will be displayed on the phone.
• Delete/Drop SMS: SMS from hacker will not be seen by the user.
• Forward SMS: Send SMS to hacker without the user’s knowledge.
• Block Calls
• Remove Block Calls
• Set Administrator: Register a new administrator.
• On/Off
• Add Sender
• Remove Sender
• Set Sender
• Block/Unblock Phone Numbers

Although the virus has not spread widely, the possibility of Zeus Trojan to BlackBerry devices can still occur.

Type a BlackBerry that can use OS6 which will be released Q3 2010 (July-Sep)


We can BBLeaks about the types of information from the BlackBerry that could use OS6 / Blackberry os 6 at the moment is the release by RIM later this year.

This information is important for the longer plans to buy a BlackBerry and want to use the latest OS6.

OS 6 Ready BlackBerry Devices:

All new BlackBerry devices which will be released like a clamshell 9670, Slider Storm (9800?), and Storm3 will be released with OS 6.0.

Kepler's Atlas of 8980 and 9300 may still be released with OS 5.0.

Types of BlackBerry "old" already on the market that are ready to install OS6:

• Bold 9650
• Pearl 9100, 9105
• Bold 9700
• Storm2 9520, 9550

It is said that RIM's CEO announced that OS6 will release third quarter 2010 which began in July 2010 but no date specified.

Most likely an official OS 6.0 will be released along with the BlackBerry Handheld Slider (I think when OS 5.0 was released with 9700.)

So, if you plan to purchase or upgrade your BlackBerry handled, maybe you need to consider the type of BlackBerry that can support OS6 (OS6 ready / supported)
