- Hi folks! Thanks for reaching out. We're aware about the situation with PlayBook, and will schedule time for a team to investigate. I don't have an ETA to share and can't promise any particular outcome until the team has had a chance to deep dive into the services. I *can* promise to drop back in with an update when we know more. Thanks for your dedication and passion!kathug likes this.09-12-19 08:39 AMLike 1
- I really hope this gets fixed soon. I had to wipe my mother's PlayBook last weekend, assuming that an EOL device wouldn't need to communicate with an activation server in order to get it up and running, but could at least be manually refreshed. She's now very angry that it isn't working, and is asking me daily whether I've "fixed" the PlayBook I "broke".09-14-19 12:16 PMLike 0
- Hi there people.
After the USB socket in my PlayBook got broken I started using it less and less over time. The reason is that I had to reset it every now and then (as it worked slower during using period), and in order to do that I had to transfer all the recorded videos to my PC. As the socket got broken, the only way was to download the FTP app onto both the tablet and the PC, and download the videos wirelessly via the home router/modem. In fact it takes a long time and it's tricky, as the process depends on the internet connection, when it gets down, the transfer on every file fails.
Just today I decided to downlad them eventually, for 10 videos (30 minutes the longest one) tookme literally whole day, 8 hours. Finally I did it and I went to the full reset. Obviously I encountered 132353, which led me here.
After reading the whole thread I find it utterly disgraceful. Regardless the EOL thing, the company CANNOT stop the customers from using the product they actually bought.
If there is no updated version of the OS, customer HAS TO BE ABLE to use the device that's running on the previous version of software. Otherwise the product is unusable, not because of customer's fault, and should be refunded in full. Customers have their rights.
Obviously like me - I don't have the receipt for it, as I've bought it good few years ago, I moved house couple of times since then (including abroad), things like this don't exist forever, so I believe it would NEVER be refunded. I cannot sell it, as it's useless. I cannot use this, as it's useless. If there won't be any fix I'm wasting my money now and all because of the Company's fault.
Thanks for all the info I got from this thread, and I hope I won't be forced to go any further with the issue.09-15-19 12:44 PMLike 0 - Hi there people.

USB and WiFi transfers were very slow at first but this helped me https://crackberry.com/workaround-wi...585.1567512061
It was discontinued long ago....09-16-19 11:32 AMLike 0 - I have two PlayBooks... both had their USB ports go bad. But both within the warranty period, so BlackBerry replaced them both. Really think that the USB ports might have been a lemon....

I completely agree. Doing what I can to see if we can't get Blackberry Limited to move more quickly on this and trying to develop a means of bypassing this requirement in the future. No promises and no success thus far but hang in there (and tell your mom that you've got professionals involved...it might help her know you're not alone!)09-17-19 03:52 PMLike 0 - Hi there people.

I completely hear you and am working on it. I don't work for Blackberry but am doing what I can to find a way around it. No promises and no success thus far but you're not alone.
As a side note, I think there's a way to map the Playbook as a drive on your home network for file transfer (there is definitely such a way with BB10). Once we get this activation problem resolved I'll test and let you know.Kredski and Slyverson22 like this.09-17-19 03:53 PMLike 2 - Hey Kredski,
