[CrackBerry Question]

Im stuck on the welcome page and its asking for the bb id I cant remember witch witch is why im want to wipe

[Al moon]

you're pretty much screwed if you cant rememebr it

[sedalia066]

Settings/security wipe. I believe that process will return the phone to factory settings. Then a new BBID may be established. Will require both a new e-mail and password.

No. You can't circumvent BlackBerry Protect anti-theft.

[iMasterus7]

No. You can't circumvent BlackBerry Protect anti-theft.

Yes, you can. There is a simple guide already circulating in the Web. So, BlackBerry again screwed up. Knowing this company, I am pretty sure they won't fix this issue.

Guide:

1. Go to http://developer.blackberry.com/devalphaupdate/
Download proper autoloader of 10.3.1. (choose your model) and install it.
2. Enter your new BBID or create new one.
3. Update your OS to the latest one (autoloader recommended).
4. Enjoy your devise.

That OS will NOT override the blacklist.

[Lusitano17]

Yes, you can.

Have you tried this?
My understanding is we can no longer roll back the OS from 10.3.2 and the OS links you've suggested are Dev OS. ...some limitations as far as practical use if I'm not mistaken.

There was anecdotal info that a couple of people were successful some time ago, but no one has been able to repeat it since.

I agree with Conite above. No, it will not work. But you're welcome to try for yourself, if you believe everything on the Internet is true.

No, I haven't and don't need to. But, several users from that Russian site currently successfully repeat the procedure. Yes, first you install the old one, but then have to update to the latest one.

Never say never. Let's wait for OP to try this, since he needs this badly

[tdyhedge]

I never said, never. And why would you wish for someone merely asking a question to take a chance on bricking their device?

Q10SQN100-2/10.3.2.2876

[iMasterus7]

OP asked for help and I have referred to a possible solution given that his smartphone is already at near brick state if I understood him correctly. So, OP has nothing to lose trying this since you religiously believe that BlackBerry Protect can't be bypassed.

Q10SQN100-2/10.3.2.2876

I repeated this (and another method) with my Z10 not once (= dev OS can be loaded cause it has "q8960.sdk" signature but not "q8960.factory". That's why blacklist didn't work properly.

[thurask]

Well, let's test this.

I start with a Z10 STL100-3 running 10.3.2.2876. The blocklist is as expected: nothing under 10.3.2.680.

I run the 10.2.1.1057 autoloader, and the device is rebooting now. Will it boot into 10.2.1.1057?

No, it didn't. 10.3.2.2876 OS + 10.2.1.1056 radio, oddly enough.

So I'll try 10.3.1.997, now. Loading...

Initial setup came up this time, without asking for Protect. The OS in the Settings > About > OS page is 10.3.2.2876, the radio is still 10.2.1.1056, the build number for the OS is 793740 (i.e. 10.3.1.997).

Myver says 10.3.1.997.

What.

I'll see what CFP says:

Now to try loading a pre-blocklist OS.

Error: This OS version is blocked from device.

So, finally, 2876 again.

Unfortunately, I don't have a spare BBID, so I can't test whether or not Protect is just a glorified BBID login. This was all done without a BBID on device, just to see if the blacklist can be circumvented. Still, if people can reproduce this...

[thurask]

I'll try this again in a bit, but with Protect enabled.

[iMasterus7]

Could you please explain in plain English the result of your test? Were you able to circumvent BlackBerry Protect so that device is fully functional? Thanks.

Update: just saw your last post. Looking forward to your test results.

[thurask]

I have the Z10 on 2876 with Protect, but it'll have to wait for now.

So Protect is on. Now to re-run the 2876 autoloader, to check if we get the BBID check. Which we do.

Now, to load 10.3.1.997. Same OS mismatch as before, but no Protect check upon setup.

And now to reinstall 2876.

Well, the anti-theft check came up. Bummer.

It appears that there's also a network component to the anti-theft.

Myth busted.

[crmabbitt]

Do you log in with new BBID on 10.3.1.997?

[Lusitano17]

Myth busted.

Awesome work!
Wanted to try this myself but don't have a spare device to brick .


Posted via CB10

[thurask]

I'd have to make one, so I'll get on that.

OK, made. Same 2876 with no setup but anti-theft check in place. Will run 997, log in with new BBID, then re-run 2876.

Hope it fails, but you never know.

Edit:

997 is installed and set up. New BBID in place. Same OS confusion in the About pages as before.

Now to load 2876.

Edit 2:

Anti-theft, with the ORIGINAL BBID.

Again, myth busted.

[butcher99]

Never say never. Let's wait for OP to try this, since he needs this badly

Posted via BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition

I find it very hard to believe this will work as it requires a password. Says so right in the docs. We are looking for a way to get around the password. since this requires a password I cannot see how it will work but will let you know.
