Configuring 3G Internet on BB 9550
Disassembled Blackberry Storm
Configuring 3G Internet on BB 9550
This is the easiest way I think to setup a browser (internet)via 3G on a BB9550, I find, maybe an easiest way to connect to the internet. This unit is a hard headed and can coz a big bang to your brain before you can be able to connect it.
Here's how:
First you must have a BDM (Blackberry Desktop Manager) installed in your PC. That is free try to google it.
In your device click menu, then Advanced Option- Click Service Book
While in Service Book Press or type ALT SBEB to be able to enable the LEGACY OPTION, then press OK.
Now your LEGACY OPTION is Enabled, you will need this file to transfer it to your Device.
In your PC, open your BDM then click BACK-UP and Restore- Click Advanced- On the Device Database Look for SERVICE BOOK.
On the other side, browse the File you have been downloaded and transfer it to your device by clicking >>.
Service Book has been transfer in your device.
Now lets proceed to the configuration of your 3G internet.
In your device click menu, go to settings-Advanced Option-Look for TCPIP then in TCPIP settings check VPN, input your carrier address (this depends on the sim card you have been use, ex. DST.INTERNET, SMART.INTERNET) then save.
Then go to your browser settings, select Browser only not Hotspot Browser< this setting can be use when you are using a wifi connection.
Now you have already setup the configuration for a service book and the TCPIP settings of your phone, but still you can't connect
on this way, it is very hard and you may encounter a different kind of error even the settings is good.
The final solution is simply by installing the OPERA MINI in your Blackberry!
Here's how:
Open your BDM.Select Application loader on the menu, Click Add/Remove Application, click START, then browse the file OPERA MINI, after that just follow instructions.
Then try to browse, that's it!

Remove an I.T. Policy from a BlackBerry.

Procedure
Step 1 Ensure the Blackberry Desktop Manager is installed using Blackberry Internet Service, and not Blackberry Enterprise Server. If you are unsure, it would probably be a good idea to uninstall the Desktop Manager and start again.
If you don't have the CD that came with your Blackberry, the Software can be downloaded here.
Step 2 Download the file policy.bin and save it in your Blackberry installation directory (C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry).
Step 3 Wipe your Blackberry, creating a backup if necessary. Select Options/Security/Wipe on the Device.
If this option is unavailable, you may have to install the latest software on your Blackberry. You need to Download and install the latest Desktop Manger Software, then the latest Handheld Software. Connect your device, open the Desktop Manager, select Application Loader, and follow the prompts.
Step 4 Close the Desktop Manager if it is open.
Step 5 From the Windows Start Menu select Run..., and at the prompt type regedit. In the tree on the left hand side, navigate to:
HKEY_Current_Users\Software\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\PolicyManager
Right-Click the Policy Manager Folder and select New/String Value. Name the value Path. Now, Double-Click the Path Subkey and set Value Data to:
C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\policy.bin
Step 6 Open the Desktop Manager.
Step 7 Connect the Device.
Verification
Once complete, the Options/Security screen on your Blackberry should not contain references to an IT Policy, you should now be able to change all settings (including password prompts), and install Third Party Applications.
I've used this on my 8700g, & my 8100 Pearl, and it works!
