HI, i'm very sorry if this has already been asked but I have searched and haven't found a difinitive answer.
I have just bought a treo750 unlocked and not through a carrier such as Vodafone. I have a blackberry enabled sim (from tmobile through my company and was using happily with HTC Universal prevously).
I can't seem to get it to download messages succesfully. After I connect via the desktop connect software, it successfully sends the provisioning info but when the device connects it just drops the connection and says 'not connected (in the status).
What I would like to know is whether this rom: TREO750-1.16-RWE supports the BBConnect or will I need to change the rom to get it to work. I hear the vodafone rom supports it.
If I can't get blackberry to work on the Treo, I will have to return it, so any help will be gratefully recieved. I love this device in every other way, but must have Blackberry as I rely on it for work.
Many thanks in advance.
Sham
Are you on a BES? If not don' t use the desktop sofware.
Try out the attached BB client, please let me know if you can connect with this client.
hi, many thanks for your help. my company has a blackberry server. not sure if this is a BES, but i needed the desktop connect software to get it working with my universal.
thanks for the attachment, will try it tomorrow and lt you know (im out of the office all day today)
thanks again for your help.

Hi georgedorn,
I tried the cab file you kindly attached but with same results as before. It successfully sends the provisioning data but then when it connects to Blackberry via the gprs (gsm) and then it recieves an IP address then says: "not connected" under the status and then disconnects.
I used to get this on the Universal when i used some Rom versions. My
current rom version is:
OS 5.1.195 (build 14995.2.6.3)
Software version: Treo750-1.16-RWE
Firmware Version: 1.27.0b.00
Is your ROM version the same?
Thanks.

Hi sham,
I' m using the 750v with Firmware 1.12.0c.00 and Software TREO750-1.14-VFD.
I had older firmwares before and BB connect was working fine with all. I' m not familiar with the new Treo 750 or the Cingular one. Seems that the only BB capable Treo is the 750v. Even Vodafone who sells the 750 now is only offering BB connect for the 750v, so I guess that the 750 firmware is not able to run a BB client. Maybe they want to force Microsoft Push Email now. Is your company running Exchange 2003 SP2? The Treo is the perfect device for Push Email via Active Sync, you even get your contacts synched wirelessly which is not possible with BB connect right now.
Hi, I flashed my treo with the latest vodafone rom and bbconnect is working fine now!! It must have been a restriction with the unbranded ROM as you said.
Many thanks forall your help, I love this site.
I'm one happy Treo Owner now. The best PPC device i've owned and I can safely say, I've owned a few!
Sham
Glad to hear that the Vodafone NL Rom did the trick and that its working now. It' s a great device indeed.

I have it running. It works most of the time. I find it goes to Suspend a lot. I am not sure why. I either Restart or unsuspend it. I also get a lot of "Blocked - Radio in use". Either way, it works and I get email and calendar syncs. Do you have the BB Connect plan on your carrier account?

Is pIE running in the background?? This will hog the GPRS connection and stop the device from connecting to blackberry APN.

Very true. I find myself closing "connection happy" applications (i.e pIE) to get connected again. I don't think the BB Connect client is capable of handling the connection priorities.
I have a 750v with the vodaphone ROM and it works very good, whenever I launch the PIE it switches to the "regular" GPRS connection once theere is no more traffic it goes back to the blackberry connection.

Blackberry Connect 4.0
Anyone has a Blackberry Connect 4.0 Software? I am using Groupwise at work and I was told that this is the only BB software that will work with my treo 750.
I tried BB Connect 2.1 but that only works with Exchange or Lotus.
Thanks.

BB Connect 4.0 is not available yet, only for beta testing. We should see these new clients in summer.
Has the BETA leaked out yet? I would really like to play with it.
BB Connect and Groupwise
Hi all - I have also been waiting to use BB Connect with Groupwise. Anychance of getting a copy of the Beta as well?
Or a pointer?

I am hoping someone already has it and can get me a copy.

As far as I know BB Connect 4.0 for Windows Mobile will only work with Windows Mobile 6. So on the current Palm Treo 750 this new client won' t work. First there must be a WM6 upgrade for the Palm. An other platform which will support BB Connect 4.0 will be the new E90 Nokia Communicator.
Update:
No WM6 ROM required! BB Connect 4.0 works fine with the Treo 750v and the Vodafone Netherlands ROM 1.12.0.c.
The client can be found here:

I don't know. In the new rom there is Xpress Mail and Get good pre-installed. So i think there is a lot of software able for push..

Hi, I know there has been a lot of postings on this issue.....but is there a BB CONNECT software to run o nthe tro 750 (unbranded)? im trying to use the ones i found on this forum, it connects and generates the PIN but disconnects as soon as i try to register with my provider......any hints?
Hi, I had exactly the same issue. after much testing I flashed my device to the vodafone ROM and then BBConnect worked fine. Search the forums for the vodafone rom (the OS version was the same as my unbranded rom).
Good luck.

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
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
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:
http://rapidshare.com/files/17764237/2007-02-15_Treo_750v_NL.rar
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???
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?
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??

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
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.
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.
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.
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.

The BB connect don't work with WM6 actually...
from Palm : Do not Install this update if you are using Blackberry Connect (BBC). Palm Windows Mobile 6 does not support the BBC service...
this is a BB connect CAB...made by HTC
it's basically made for AT&T tilt (8925) = Kaiser
I guess it'll work with any WM6 pro device...

Tried this and it won't work for me.
Has anyone actually got this working on a Treo750?
It gets an IP for about a second but then it drops it.
Same here w/ 750c. Gets an IP address for a few seconds and drops to no connection. BTW I am using BBC 4.0.0.90, you can find it on sems.org. I wonder if anyone w/ the Voda or the Aussie ROM would give a shot to this BBC version to see if it makes any difference.
Thanks,
HC
I guess it's the same problem as elsewhere, where you need to change the machine type in window.nb (I think). Only problem is I can't find an easy explanation of how to do this.
I was trying BBC 4.0.0.90 with Voda ROM and no luck.
Strange thing today on my 750c - Got PIN
Hi all,
It seems that something is changing w/ either RIM or ATT. I installed again today BBC 4.0.0.90 onto my 750c w/ WM6 ATT leaked ROM, after the normal reboot, surprisingly, BBC service connected to the network and I got a PIN. Clearly it said "Connected" on the status tab. Well, I connected the device to my laptop and ran the BBC Desktop, the system was provisioned properly (I think ...), Notes Backend, but now it fails to connect to Blackberry, same symptoms as before, even after multiple soft resets, see comments above. I'll play around some more w/ it and let you all know if I get anything to work. In the mean while, if anyone else has any success, please share ....
Good luck
HC
I have WM 6.1 installed using BB Connect 4.0.0.97 and its a no go. Oddly enough, I tried the same thing on an earlier Vodaphone WM5 ROM and it still didn't work...any suggestions?
Btw, I get the same issues as above, I have a PIN listed (and IP address for a short time if I Suspend and Resume) but then when I attempt to input the PIN into my online BIS account and switch devices is says the information can't be verified.
I have it installed and getting all my work email. I used the BB desktop software to activate although "over the air" seemed as it it would have worked fine because my admin hadn't set up my activation password and my activation attem told me that After installation my BB security was also enforced with device locking.
So grab version .100 and get your email folks

Any chance you or someone else can report success in setting up Blackberry ont he Fuze. I installed version 100. I have a Fuze with Romeo 1.40 version.
I can install the cab, go through the reboot, but when I try to activate, it says "The service is no connected. Enterprise Activation will be pending until connected".
Any clues?

I'm using and have been using BB connect version 1.03 with my Fuze since the 10th of Nov. with the Stock rom and now NATF's AT&T bloatfree rom and is running beautifully without having to change AKU or anything else.
I would say from my past experience, it might take a while for initial pin to receive from the BB server, but after that everything works. However this didn't happen to me with Fuze but with my old Wizard when I was all new to the BB connect.
