    i have upgraded to the 221, the battery life there was bed...i've downgraded back to 216, BUT
    once downgraded it lost the BES connection (i've upgraded with the desktop manager connected to the BES so auto activated it)....
    now it gave me ****...
    so i wiped the device completly and now it wont activate to the BES
    i've wiped and also tried to upload the 216 OS after wipe again.
    i've resend the service book
    nothing helps....
    reset the activation code on BES
    it sais pin invalid.... it doesnt recognize it as a BB...
    what else can i do???
    im with no pohne now

    It isn't nuked for sure
    The need for reactivation of bes after upgrade is pretty common
    Not sure why bes can't be reactivated on your device

    I assume IT is doing it right? The PIN is unique so I think the old code is still associated to the pin
    That's why the new pin doesn't work

    From what I remembered, the bes code can only be activated on one individual bb
    That's what my IT guy said

    He does the bes reactivation for me. Time difference so it is early morning now
    Let me try to get hold of him at work tmr and post back

    In the meantime, try the BES admin forums. The folks there would know a thing or two
