    Hi guys,
    I just recently today bought a bnib storm 9530.
    I boot it on and there is no signing of Verizon branding nothing.
    Phone is unlocked i put my Rogers sim card in it i can make and receive calls and the pin works i can receive emails as well.
    Problem is i have on top of the screen Activation Required.

    I have tried ##000000 and #111111 and i always end up with " invalid password "

    is there anyother way to remove that?

    BNIB Verizon Storm while you're on Rogers, does not make it bnib. If 6 zeros doesn't work, hen you gots duped. Until you program something into the CDMA side of things, it'll continue to do that. Also, it should show a carrier logo on startup, regardless of what carrier it's from (Verizon or Telus).

    Almost forgot. If this is a Telus 9530, they use unique MSL codes like Sprint does.... I think.

    When i boot up all i see is the Blackberry Logo no verizon no telus nothing.
    I doubt it can be a telus one as telus and bell are not unlockable.
    my sim and pin is working.
    so do you know how i can get it to so i can remove the activation required?

    Can someone help me please.
    Im trying to get the MSL code so i can remove the Activation required off my unlocked Storm 9530.

    I keep getting Unknown.
    Can anybody help me please.

    I tried ##000000 and #111111.
    All give me the error Invalid Password.

    My phone is a unlocked 9530.
    I dont know if its the Verizon version because whenever i power the phone on it shows only the RIM Logo and it says Property of Rim Engineering use only Not for sale or lease.

    Any Help

    Something tells me you got a tester unit that is blacklisted at RIM. They did this to keep people from selling them off later..... Let me guess, bought it on Ebay?
