Activation Required - TELUS
- To unlock your phone for free go to berrymods.com register and read on the site how to get your phone unlocked free. This is how i unlocked mine free of charge.
Follow the instructions below to get rid of "activation required" on a telus 9530 (although i did skip step 7 i wasn't sure what it was and it kept failing and it i still got my msl code, so im assuming its not required). RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting Here are the programs you need or you can also just google and download some as i did. I used windows 7 with unicdma 3.1.4 and hexworkshop 6
Before you do any of this you MUST downgrade your storm to os 4.7.0.76 or it will not work.
ok here goes.
Obtain these two programs:
1. uniCDMA
2. Hexworkshop
1. Install your blackberry desktop manager. (Im using version 4.7 and it hasnt given me any problems.) Plug In blackberry.
2. Run desktop manager
3. Minimize DM and run uniCDMA
4. Select "Qualcomm" under the mode drop menu
5. Click setup and change the port to com4
6. Click Read all and it should fill in the boxes on the left with your blackberry information
7. Click HF ->DM
8. Click memory and change the starting address to 0x17c47cce and length to 524288. Click read and save to file. (or try starting address 0x17c455be and 524288 this is the one that worked for me)
9. Now open Hexworkshop and open the file you just created.
10. In the right box you will see a 6 digit number. That is your MSL password.
11. Unplug your blackberry and call ##XXXXXX (XXXXXX is the MSL password) Press Send
12. Change the Mobile Directory Number to you 10 digit cell number.
13. Press Menu then close and it will reset your phone and you are good to go.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any problems and ill try to help. Im not totally sure if your MSL code will be in the same area as mine so if not let me know and i can find some number adjustments for you.07-28-10 08:10 PMLike 0 - i downloaded the bell 4.7.0.76 all i did was delete the vendor.xml file before installing the os and that worked.
