can a IT policy come down to the device if connected to OWA for work email? tia!

To remove the IT policy:
This will wipe the phone, put back on the latest installed OS, and remove the IT policy.

I just received a replacement BB Storm, on BES. It still says "Activation Required" at the top of the screen. I wanna load OS5.0 before I activate it on BES, at the moment, Loader.exe says to contact system admin when I try to update.
Will this allow me to do it before the policy gets pushed to the phone again?

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com

yup, removed vendor.xml and tried to shrink the OS, also tried without shrinking..

[r-0-b]

i guess the phone had to be activated before it could be updated.
i got the new os loaded, but now i cant load up 3rd party apps. stupid BES.
could this be a work around? reset to factory state or wipe clean, flash it with the new OS + 3rd party apps that i want, then reconnect to the enterprise?

Cool! Will try this, will this be removed when I update OS?

Hi, I have no "apploader" folder in my RIM/Blackberry folder... I have backed up my blackberry, downloaded JL_Cmder but nothing seems to make sense to me!

I am trying my best to follow instructions, but when I type the code listed at the start of thid thread Command prompt responds:

C:\Program Files is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Any ideas?

Thanks for this! I had to go back and try it a few times, but adding the image solved for me. I was able to figure out that I was trying to activate the LOADER.exe from my P drive and not from the C drive, where the program actually stood. Great!

To remove the IT policy:

plug in blackberry to computer
open up command prompt (start->run->cmd)
type cd c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
push enter
type LOADER.exe /resettofactory
push enter

This will wipe the phone, put back on the latest installed OS, and remove the IT policy.

AgTitan06 - thank you very much for posting these instructions. I have my own Blackberry (I own it) and my company let me get on BES, but didn't like the IT Policy restrictions so I'm back on BIS. JL_Cmder looked a bit daunting so I'm glad I found this post to remove my company's IT policy.

Thanks a million.

Thank you very much for this - it worked perfectly (although I'm running Windows 7 and had to put in "program files (x86)"). This is the second time you Crackberry guys have helped me fix my BB when the "tech support" people have given up. I think now the dratted IT policy has gone, most of the original problems should be solved. What a relief!

Thank you again.

To remove the IT policy:

plug in blackberry to computer

I'm getting stuck after I locate the apploader program... where do I type in LOADER.exe /resettofactory? I am using windows xp, not sure if it is any different?

[flyboyiii]

will the it policy block PIN messages?

[ThaRu]

I had great success with the command lines!
The deskop manager on my mac wanted me to update my 9700. During the update process it stucked, the process was aborted, the phone nuked.
So I installed the last v5.0.0.499 from my carrier O2-Germany.
Unfortunatly this version had a IT-policy in it and it was slow as ****.
So I took the Windows 7 PC of my girl and used the commands for removing the policy and wiping the phone. After this the same OS was installed. Then I restored only the most important datas, like contacs, messages ect. to make sure to keep my phone policy-free.
Now without the IT-policy it is as fast as on the first day!
GREAT!!

Could this be, because at the step before I installed a OS over a nuked phone WITHOUT wiping it? Or is it because of the policy?

For Windows 7 users:
choose the path "program files (x86)"

Any methods for older OS? I have a rather old BB running 4.2.2.180 - so the method above (for post 4.3.x.x ) isnt working. Shame because it is an old decommissioned work machine I'd like to just use on my local WLAN - but need apps!

Thanks for any help

[Plazmic Flame]

I think this topic needs to be made sticky. It's really helped and this is by far the worst thing that can happen to a BB, all your apps rendered useless. Mine wasn't even from a company, just started happening one day...

There is a method to hack a "blank" policy.bin file from your pc and desktop manager onto your device. This replaces the policy on the device with the settings in that "blank" one rather than removing like the ResetToFactory switch does on the 4.3 and above.

Two older threads of interest for you -> http://forums.crackberry.com/f3/remo...lackberry-569/

and -> Remove IT Policy - BlackBerryFAQ

That is the best you can do, and the closest you can get to removal of the IT Policy for older than 4.3 hand helds.

If memory serves me correct, using this Policy.BIN clears nearly everything. I think only some of the on device firewall settings were not touched by this Policy.Bin which impacted very few people.

Oh this definately works!!! Just be sure to type info into "command prompt" and type it exactly as it appears even the spaces

[myluvcandle]

Yes, using javaloader /wipe will erase your data on the hand held (contacts, calendar, messages, etc).

When using the Backup/restore icon in desktop manager, yes, the IT Policy is backedup/restored. You can choose Advanced, open the backup file, then select only what you want, and restore from there.

Anybody Know ** i can remove the IT POLICY file from my Blackberry Storm 2 ( 9550 ) with crack utility?

or any other way to remove it on a storm2?

[parky704]

I have down loaded Crackutil and it displays the files on my BB, I only want to remove the whatever file controls the password required feature (IT policy?). What is the name of this file?
