"activation required" on unlocked 9530(Verizon)...is there an easy fix??

[2low4snow]

I found this, but will it work on Verizon???

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.

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.

Hey 2Low so did this work? Did you get rid of the "Activation Reqired"?

[crazzycatman]

r u talking about the message at the top of the screen where your carrier name should be

I have the same problem with "Activation Required". Can anyone show me how to remove it? Thanks.

Activating the phone usually fixes that

Ha this thread cracks up. Never seen anyone with this "issue" but like moviemogul said - try activating the phone and I bet the message will go away

[lordsii]

I've got this bb storm unlocked and using it with tmo sim. It shows that msg. Question is how to activate the phone so the msg goes away? Thanks.

I'm not sure how to get rid of it but i know why it says that When verizon loads its "network" to the phone the phone gets a fake MDN ( mobile telephone number) as this field cannot be left blank. it usually is 000-000-XXXX the last four digits differ once this field is changed to anything but the 0's and those last 4 digits... Activation required will disappear. So if you can find out how to manually program and put your cell phone number in this place that should fix your issue.

for my unlocked storm 9530, all i did was dial ##000000 send
then i entered my att phone number, and then press menu save. Your storm will reset, and all will be well.

That got rid of the activation required message for me.

Hi Everyone - I'm with Rogers and tried the ##000000 method and got a message saying "invalid". Everything else works fine..I would just like my Storm to read ROGERS and have my number on the unit as well..

Please Help...!!

hi kwikberry, how did you get your storm to work? did you buy your unlocked
phone to work with your data? cause i keep seeing edge in small font instead of EDGE. What can i do to make my data work. The storm i have is with telus. Will that work?
