Problem with BBC is ... OS Revision!!
If you use a untested revision, your device pin is pending!
Only the original OS work with bbc ... this is why i clean only original roms and mod them!
ok... Thanks... I was afraid of that. Maybe as Systems admin and the recent BB outages I can convince them to trial the MS Direct Push to reduce points of failure and possibly save money.
BB Connect works fine in Sleuth. You need to alter the following key & it will work 99.9999% garunteed!!!!
1) goto hklm>system>versions and change what ever is there to .0.4.2 (The leading . before the 0 needs to be there)
2) Install bbconnect cab file.
3) If you don't get the check boxes at the end of the install (Calendar, notes, etc). Re-run the install (it will remove the 1st instance), I always get it the second time.
4) Wait for Blackberry to finish "setting up device for first use" and let it reboot.
5) On reboot, status will now show the PIN number.
6) Open the Blackberry connect desktop application. (Make sure you have access to your corporate e-mail) If you do you will see "Configure Wireless Device" as active.
7) Plug in the Tilt and wait for Activsync to finish syncing and says "connected".
8) In the BB Connect desktop application hit the "Configure Wireless"
9) When finished unplug Tilt and soft reset.
10) You should be good to go at this point.
I want to reconfirm GSLEON3's post. So far with every 6 and 6.1 rom that I tried (I tried most of them as you would assume as being a member of the forum), all I do is change the version to .0.4.2 and it works.

In fact, a link to this process is in the Release Notes section on Page 1 of the support thread for 3.0 Sleuth
Trouble in connecting
I've been following the process, and have had good results until the last step.
Here's what I've done (device is AT&T tilt):
1. Flashed my ROM with the Windows 6.1 Sleuth ROM - no problems
2. Made the registry change described in this thread.
3. Loaded Blackberry Connect - no problems, have a PIN and the device is registered on the Blackberry network.
4. Loaded Blackberry Desktop version 4.3
5. Have an good Activesync connection (Vista Business OS)
6. The Desktop M
anager says: server status online, active device PIN: (has my number); device connected PIN: None
The device does not show as connected as said by the "device connected PIN: none"
I also don't have a "Configure Wireless" choice that I can find anywhere.
Any ideas?

Gary,
Who is your blackberry service provider? I'm assuming it is AT&T. If so you don't need the desktop manager to activate your device. It can and should be done wirelessly. I have used Sleuth v3.0 WM 6.1 with BB Connect on AT&T without any problems after doing the reg hack.
PM me if you would like more assistance.
CP
My provider is AT&T. I would prefer to use the Blackberry desktop for activation if I could possibly make it work.
It looks as though the BB desktop cannot see the Tilt. I've had this working before with a Blackberry handheld. I've never tried (before now) to make it work with a PPC running BB connect. From everyones mail, it looks as though it should work, but I can't see any USB connection in BB connect.

Answer to Blackberry Desktop
OK, answered my own question. For others that someday may be stuck, there are TWO Blackberry desktops, one for their PDA-Phones, and one for Windows CE/WM5&6 devices. I was using the Blackberry PDA product, which is wrong. That version will only work with their phones.
The one for CE devices is "Blackberry Desktop for Windows Mobile". The link for it is:

Hello all... I'm a total newbie to Windows Mobile and this site. Hopefully I've found the right place to post this. I have Win XP SP2 with activesync 4.5 and HTC touch pro (att fuze). My device connects to the PC fine but ONLY as a guest (tried this with someone else's device as well, same issue). I plugged my device into my co-workwer's PC and the got the option to set up a sync partnership. This option has never appeared on my PC. I've deleted/reinstalled activesync multiple times and tried other suggestions found here (checking & unchecking "advanced network functioality" and "ask about connection type" in USB to PC settings on the device). Prior to all of this I had software called Intelatrac installed on my PC. This is a "task tracking" program which uses activesync to connect to a Windows Mobile PDA device. I don't use this software in my current job so I uninstalled it. Somthing in the Intelatrac/Active sync set up is possibly the issue. I've connencted multiple devices to my PC and to another PC which has Intelatrac. NEVER is there an option to set up a partnership. Only guest connections automatically occur. All menu options in activesync except for "connection settings" are "grayed out" ("Syncronize", "Mobile Device", "Delete Moblie Device"). Any ideas what to look for? I have tried my IT department for the past month but have yet to find anyone who has a clue. Sorry for the long description.

Actually, long descriptions are best to identify problems
This is just a suggestion, but maybe this Intelatrac software left something in the registry that is being used by ActiveSync. My advise to you would be to first uninstall ActiveSync and then look for entries for this program in the registry and delete them if you find them. You could use autoruns to see if there are any processes/dll loading that shouldn't be there in the first place as well. Hope this helps...
Thanks for the reply... a problem with something left in the registry is exactly what I thought might be the problem. This being my PC at work, I don't have authorization to even look at the registry let alone edit it. Only our IT "help" desk group can don that . Through unofficial channels I got access and found that there are at least 20 references to "Intelatrac" left in the registry. If I can ever get these folks to look at the problem I'll report on the results. Thanks again!
Hi all,
i am really very disappointed, already spent around 12 hours looking for a solution,
the WMDC does not run at all on my Vista machine which is Business 32-bit,
i tried to uninstall, install again, reboot, more than 20 times, with no luck
this is making me creazy, i couldn't find someone suffered the same
please help me, i am willing even to pay for this help
regards,
sounds like a corrupt vista install I would reinstall or restore it back to default
how to confirm its vista
Hi..
thanks for your post?
how did you confirm that its vista issue,
could i just put the vista CD and ask to rebuild?
will it remove my files on the system
yes itll delete everything
my advice would be to get 7
"i couldn't find someone suffered the same"
was a bit of a give away
you could try another vista computer to verify
or if you're using usb you could try using bluetooth and virsa versa
personally I never had any problems with vista wmdc
its not showing the interface
my home vista machine is working fine,
my machine, is not, its not yet about connecting my mobile,
the software it self is not showing,
i install it, without any error msg, it shows in the start menu, and in the programs of control panel,
but when i click on the icon in the start menu, nothing show at all,
i belive it should show the interface even if the mobile is not connected yet,
acctually it shows ew devices
hi.
it shows new devices as unknown device then the driver couldn't be found
if it's a work computer they prob just removed the rights of installing new hardware
from your user account
i tried both with my user which is part of the administrators group, and also tried with the administrator account directly,
both resulted the saem
it takes around 1 minute on the "0 remaining time"
then it just hide without saying its finished or completed,
the result is an icon in the start menu,
and in the windowsmobile directory in windows folder, it shows some files, like setup, and drivers
then if i check properties of the icon in the start menu, it shows that its for first time installation,
i click on it, it install again
then the changes are on the windowsmobile folder in windows folder more EXE files are there like WMDC.exe (but if run it, nothing comes out)
if i recheck the properties of the icon on the start menu, there is no more target application, (you could call it broken link)
whats happenning
i went through the installation part of it,
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/wmdc/install.htm
its exactly what happen with me,
but my side i reach the screen which shows "Installing device driver software"
then it failes after,
if i check the devices i find that it find a bluetooth device, but cannot install it correctly
What's a good VNC or VNC-like client for the TP2? I've tried a few and all fail. I'm running realVNC server on my home computer, I know the IP and port, have the password set, etc.
· I try to connect with this VNC client and it does nothing (after clicking connect, nothing is running, no screen comes up) - http://www.cs.utah.edu/~midgley/wince/vnc.html
· I try to connect with this other VNC client and it just hangs in the background as a hidden process. No visuals. -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dotnetvnc/files/
· Additionally I tried a different app instead of VNC, Omnipresence. It's made for the diamond but I was hoping it'd work for me. I ran the server on my PC, installed the cab on my phone, ran the app, and attempted to connect.. I get this lengthy error: "Error while connecting: An error message is available for this exception but cannot be displayed"... blah blah blah blah blah.
Also, the omnipresence zip contains a dll but no instructions on what to do with it. I dunno if it goes on my phone or PC or what. I have .net compact framework version 3.5 (or later) installed on my phone. I have .net framework 4 on my PC.
What will it take to get an exact representation of my desktop showing on my phone screen? Preferably one that doesn't have to be resized to the lowest possible resolution? Ideally one that allows for panning around on the desktop by sliding across the screen (as omnipresence seems to do)?
==========================================================
You don't have to read anymore, but I thought I should share the various bits and pieces I had to figure out to get remote desktop (not VNC but almost as good) running on WM 6.5 (connecting to windows 7)...
1. On the PC, click start, type remote in the search box, and choose the option that says allow remote access to your pc. Of the three options in the middle, choose the one that says allow connections from any version of remote desktop. Note: To change this settings you need to enable windows firewall. You may have made a habit of disabling it (it used to be a nuisance in XP)... to re-enable, click start --> type services.msc in the search box and click on the result. Go to the w's for windows firewall. Double click it, change the startup type to manual and click apply (unless it already is) then click start. OK to close.
2. If you normally login to windows with a blank password, (maybe skip the login process entirely) click start, type gpedit.msc, click the result, navigate to computer config - windows settings - security settings - local policies - security options and find the entry near the top: Limit local use of blank passwords etc. ...double click that and change it to disabled.
3. Not sure if it's strictly necessary, and some may balk at the idea, but you might choose to shut down the firewall once that settings in step one is changed. Same steps, except you click stop instead of start.
4. On the phone, start the client and type in your IP in the first blank. Make sure it's your external IP, i.e. the one you get when you visit this site: http://whatismyip.com . For the user name blank, use your windows user name. If you need to double check it (i.e. you automatically login and forgot) click start on your PC. It'll be at the top right.
5. On the phone, go to settings --> all settings --> connections --> connections and then go to the advanced tab, then select networks --> change both dropdown boxes to your phone's internet connection (in my case, Sprint. Possibly "My ISP" could work?)
6. Here's the dumb part that had me bashing my head against the wall. The phone's connection to the internet needs to be 'goosed' before remote desktop can work. You need to open your web browser and browse to any site. Possibly some other internet-using app would work. Once you load any site, you can exit the browser and finally... FINALLY connect.
7. Fire up remote desktop, change the options to your liking, click connect.
Got it going with some help from ppcgeeks. Also got VNC working. If anyone is having trouble, I recommend reading this post:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-pro-2/134014-remote-desktop-vnc-guide.html
Ok, now I'm going into my third day with this phone, and I'm really struggling to find a way that it has made me happy. I mean, yeah, I like the OS and all, but Sprint still hasn't gotten back to me on whether they're going to send me a free Airave (I spend half the time in my home roaming). I had to reset the device yesterday to get it to connect to Marketplace - even though my account has never said anything but US (last time I left the country was in the Navy 21 years ago) - and even though I could connect to marketplace on Zune software, my phone wouldn't connect to it. Now I've got that working, by resetting the phone.
Now I can't get the phone unlocked. My developer account has been approved, identity verified, and the next step in my process is unlock my phone. I have tried all the tricks I've found so far: start phone, unlock the lock screen, turned off a bunch of services on my PC (like SQL, IIS, and more), reset my phone again, touch marketplace on the phone while connected so it says "connected" on the screen... Between all this and the lousy reception I get at home, I'm ready to just chuck this thing back at Sprint and say, "Thanks, but no thanks." The one thing keeping me from doing that is that Verizon is going to get the Trophy, and I want a phone with a keyboard. I've had keyboards on all my WinMo phones, and don't plan to stop now. I just wish this phone was available on VZW. I'm going to stick it out as long as I can, but iff I don't have an improved experience by day 28, Sprint gets it back... </rant>
Ok... Have I missed any other steps in getting this phone to connect to the Developer Phone Registration tool?
Have you tried following the directions here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Fo...s/thread/bfa70370-4926-4086-ad0e-febe716b8bf0
Yes, many times.... I never get past step 4.
Someone just told me an another thread that you have to be verfied through GeoTrust and to do that you must first create and submit an app that you have developed.
After you submit the app, supposedly GeoTrust will contact you via email and have you verify some personal information.
Make a fake app. That's all you have to do. Make one, then submit it. This will generate a claim number with GeoTrust. Trust me, I had to do this myself...
Have you got your certificate from msdn yet it takes a couple of days, once you get your certificate your account will be unloced

I just finished this. Hopefully by monday all will be well
My account has already cleared GeoTrust, and the next step is to unlock my phone. I'm not a student, but it wouldn't matter - I can't get that far. The reg tool doesn't even detect my phone.
If you're getting the dreaded "Check that the Zune software is running blah blah blah" message, this one is a PITA to deal with. From what I've seen poking around on the interwebs, it's hitting a good number of people. It happened to me too.
I have 2 systems that are identical hardware wise, and running 64 bit OSes.
I have 1 machine running a 32 bit OS (it's a much older system).
I was finally able to unlock the phone without any issues at all on the 32 bit system (after swapping out my phone and nearly a week of struggling with it) the very first time I tried.
I'm loving the phone, especially with it being unlocked, but it was a fight until I tried it on that last machine.
Poke Microsoft about it. The more they hear about it and the more information they get about it the faster they'll be able to fix it (that assumes the problem is even on their end).
I've heard using a USB hub (or if you're already using one then NOT using it) has helped some people. *shrug*
Thanks for all the suggestions - I appreciate them. I have yet to get my phone to get past the check zune... blah blah blah error, with the exception of one time. Here's what I did...
I reset my phone, got past the intro, added my live account, hooked it to the computer, let it sync with Zune (I had deleted the phone's proflie), opened the reg tool, and it found the phone. I entered my login info, and got the dreaded 0x64 error having to do with time on the phone.
Several posts I found had to do with people getting past this by using a different internet connection and finding success. Well, I have a rather odd internet connection going on. I live right behind my church, just beyond wireless range from the pastor's router. So here's what I have:
Scientific Atlanta DSL modem/router combo - pastor's connection
Buffalo high powered router running DD-WRT sitting on the platform (closest part of the building to my house), repeating the pastor's signal.
Buffalo high powered router running DD-WRT sitting in my computer room, repeating wireless to my house, and serving as wired router to the server and the HTPC.
Pastor's is 192.168.1.1, the one on the platform is 192.168.2.1, and the one in my house is 192.168.3.1, so they are all separate networks, each using the one upstream of it as a gateway.
So, given my success connecting to the phone, I walked over to church, phone still connected to the computer, connected to the pastor's router, and by this point in time, I can no longer connect to the phone.
I suspect that there is some update that Sprint is pushing that causes this problem, so I repeated the process several times, each time deleting the Zune profile, resetting the phone, going through enough of the startup to get to the settings, and putting it in airplane mode, then connecting in the specified order, allowing the new profile to be created, and still failing to connect to the phone from the reg tool.
Over on the App Hub forums, there are several of us with this problem, and a Microsoft team member said that they believe that it is something specific about the Sprint Arrive, and they are looking into it.
My main gripe about this whole thing is that since Sprint is a latecomer to the game, all the posts I'm finding about this are like six months old. Many people have overcome this problem, so you'd think that Microsoft would have figured out the problem by now, and fixed it.
I hope to get this figured out soon, as I am presently unemployed, and spent my $99 to join the App Hub, hoping to make a bit of money there until I get a job. I'm working on something, but until my phone is unlocked, I can't put my confidence in testing solely with the emulator.
Thanks for the tips guys. I do appreciate it.
I've heard really good things about the HTC arrive, I hope it works out for you. Who knows, it could be something NoDo related (because to the best of my knowledge those phones come with NoDo stocked on). I kinda hope it is, it would take the sting out of the fact that so many of us can't our hands on that update! haha ;-)
Yes, it does come with NoDo. It's interesting, takes a bit of getting used to, but it seems to work well. I love the phone. It feels more solid than my TP2. The only thing is that I wish the screen tilt wasn't spring-loaded. I got used to not using it most of the time on my TP2, so it's taking some getting used to on here.
Oh, frustration of all frustrations! I just grabbed my wife's phone and tried it for kicks. It took me all of 15 seconds to unlock her Sprint Arrive. So I know the problem isn't my computer. WHY WON'T MY PHONE WORK?????
(oh, and if it makes any difference, she's installed WAY more apps than I have)
did you try going to msdn?
My MSDN subscription has expired, but I have posted on App Hub forums. MS thinks it is something specific to the Sprint Arrive, but who knows?
If anyone else has had this problem, there is an official workaround posted on AppHub, but for those who don't have access to that forum, here's the copy/paste:
Re: Cannot register developer phone (HTC Arrive)
Reply Quote
Hi Folks,
There is now an understood issue with respect to the HTC Arrive that may be the cause of your problem. It can affect both developer unlock as well as the ability to update the phone. A KB article is in the works but here is the gist of it for developers having trouble unlocking the phone:
Windows Phone 7 Developer Unlock Tool cannot detect the HTC Arrive Phone
Abstract:
This article applies to developers of Windows Phone 7 applications who are testing their application using the Sprint HTC Arrive, model number PC93100, OS build 7389 or 7390. Developers may find that they are unable to unlock the Sprint HTC Arrive phone using the Windows Phone Developer Unlock Tool, for the purpose of deploying their applications to the phone for testing. This article offers a remedy.
Symptoms
The developer completes these steps to register the phone:
1. Registers through the App Hub as per the steps described in the App Hub registration walkthrough here.
2. Downloads and successfully install the latest version of the Windows Phone Developer Tools.
3. Owns an activated Sprint Arrive in which they personalize their settings (including date and time, and selecting a language).
4. Registers the Sprint Arrive with the same Live account they used in the app hub registration.
Next, the developer follows these steps for Developer specific registration:
5. Connects the Sprint Arrive to the developer's PC with the USB cable included with their device.
6. Ensures that the Zune software is running/open.
7. Launches the Windows Phone Developer Registration Tool.
8. The registration tool ultimately fails to detect the phone upon launch, reporting the following message:
"Unable to connect to phone. Please check that the Zune software is running and that the Zune's sync partnership with your phone has been established."
Cause
This occurs due to a specific state setting in the HTC Arrive that results in the phone not being able to make a desktop passthrough connection. This state condition can be mitigated by following the steps below.
Resolution
Use the following workaround.
1. If connected, unplug the phone device from the computer.
On the phone device:
2. Press the Windows button.
3. Press the right arrow button (on the top right of the screen) or swipe from right to left to expose the application list
4. Scroll to and select “Settings”.
5. Scroll to and select “Cellular”.
6. Select “Change Network Profile” and wait for this operation to complete (<-- this is a key step; you don't need to actually change it).
7. Press the Back or Windows key to exit the “Settings” menu.
After completing the above steps, follow through with the registration process:
8. Connect the Sprint Arrive to the development PC with the USB cable included with the phone device.
9. Launch the Windows Phone Developer Registration Tool (Zune software must be running).
10. The window titled "Windows Phone Developer Registration" appears which establishes a connection to the phone device and the following status message: "Status: Phone ready. Please enter your Windows Live ID and password and click Register to begin".
11. Enter the App Hub registered Windows Live ID and password, and then press the "Register" button.
12. The following status message appears in the window:
Status: Your phone has successfully been registered.

Thank you hopmedic that fixed it for me
this was driving me nuts and the info here solved it thanks
Thanks it worked.
Done the workaround, but nothing for me, still have the 0x64 error.
My phone was relocked after one year of AppHub. But now I can't unlock it again..
Also tried to deelete the phone in the device list on my account and use a proxy VPN network. I'm ttired of this. :/
