BlackBerry Smartphones that I locked myself?

I won an auction on Ebay. Phone is BB storm2. Phone seems to be exactly as if it was supposed to be. As soon as I turned it on it ask for a "new password" I thought Hmm but ok because he asked for a new. I put one in and once again to check it out. Its the one I use all the time so I felt safe to use. Now, after having checked the wifi, I clicked the lock button on top of phone. When I tried to look at something else he asked a PW now and will not take the one I just put in? I know I have 5 left out of 10 attempts. No idea what I should do now. I have an Email in the former owner, but it is a bit slow to return. I have a storm 1 during some time now and I think I've read that I brick this phone after 10 attempts.  Anyone? Is there a default PW that this phone comes with? My storm 1 has not. Thanks for any help

Steve

OK its wiping. Not sure how this has happened. I know that I put in the same PW. I have a PW I use all the time this kinda thing and was the same as that of the years. Because he made me put in half the time I'm just lost regarding why this has happened. Pourrait the last owner wiped as he thought, and somehow he kept his old PW? Well whatever my problem at the moment seems to be fixed and I think you a lot John.

I love the BB took my Storm 1 a year now and this is the best. I love my 2 still more...

  • My phone blackBerry Smartphones has a lock of business or something?

    I bought a Blackberry 8830 we HAVE on ebay and they can't push the books of service to me because of some lock on the phone that a company put on? Is there a way THAT RIM can help me with this so I can use the Internet and e-mail and other applications on my phone?

    Ouch... the pain of buying used. Here is a KB with some information for you:

    KB05099 Steps to take before selling it, or after buying a used BlackBerry smartphone

    Unfortunately, in your case, is that part of it... you need to remove the it policy which is latent on the device. Here are some procedures that may (or may not) work:

  • Help of blackBerry Smartphones that apps on my Blackberry Curve 9360 were gone after complete wiping!

    I'm wiping yesterday and when I checked on my "device" option, the "battery" option was missing, where I can choose the level of my light screen. Another thing, it is that my 'analysis of the BB device' were like a stethoscope icon, but after you wipe, the icon changed into a black rectangle with a question in the middle of the matk. Whence this 'battery' device option missing? How do I get him back? If it cannot, how should I do if I want to put my light svcreen level? And I can delete this now rare device monitor 'BB' since I can't find the button Delete like other apps? HELPPPPPP! Thanks a lot for the answers!

    Hello!

    Based on your description, I would recommend a full reload of the operating system. The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below.

    2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

    (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

    5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

    6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    Note that all the apps add-on indeed went from the device... a WIPE is very obedient and removes the add-on apps. Reference:

  • BlackBerry smartphones, that I need help to transfer data from a 9870 "BOLD" for a Blackberry Curve 9300 Blackberry

    Hi, I have used a Bold 9870 for a few months now. I've been saving my camera on my computer periodically. Unfortunately, it has been exposed to water the weekend and unresponsive. I transferred my acct (by Sasktel) to the Blackberry curve of my son he no longer uses. (I'm drying my "BOLD" in a bag of rice and I hope that it will work again in the coming days?!).

    My question is did anyone know how I can get all my information backups "BOLD" (contacts, emails, texts, bbm surveys) and get only their transferred on the curve that I currently use. I feel completely lost without it!

    Thank you for your time.

    Hi shelran,

    Welcome to the BlackBerry support community forums.

    It's very sad to hear of your soaked BB device. I hope it still works!

    Check the article below to learn how to restore the data on the device-

    • KB03953  How to back up and restore data to a new BlackBerry smartphone

    I have a Bold 9900. I deleted my boxes to the letters but its always appearing in the Messages folder. Its so annoying can someone please help :-(

    Still confused, because I do not see you. By "record", I assume you mean the separate E-mail icon that was created when you went ahead and created the email account this time again? When it works correctly, you have really no duplicates - instead, you have the same email showing in two different places... one 'mirror' of the other, in a sense.

    But in fact should not do, however, so I'll notify then what do you is of (please, this time, to do this and nothing more!):

    1. Remove all THE email accounts of this device
    2. Perform a battery pull reboot
    3. Drive again the steps of the post 4 above (this time, however, please tell me that "done you these steps"... Please confirm each step translates exactly as I indicated above)
    4. Delete your database of Messages (note that this will delete probably all messages, including SMS history... you have to be careful because you realize this)

  • Message from recvd 8700 blackBerry Smartphones that enabled email accounts

    I have a 8700 Blackberry on T-Mobile. v4.1.0.346

    Yesterday I received messages from the activation server for each of the accounts already active e-mail on the device.

    "Congratulations, you have successfully configured (my email address) with your device Blackberry (R). You should start receive new messages in about 20 minutes. »

    Another thing that happened: I have all the hidden accounts and access messages with the mailbox icon. An icon previously hidden from one of these accounts became visible.

    My concern is that there may be another Blackberry device, access my accounts. It never left my physical control.

    Appreciate your help with this problem.

    Thank you

    Hello whitmanrf,

    Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

    Activation congratulatory messages that you received on your BlackBerry smart phone mean that email Service books were re sent to your BlackBerry Smartphone.

    An icon of electronic mail can become visible again as long as new service books were received by the BlackBerry smartphone or because of the theme settings.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB Bold locked + 10 times does not work

    I accidentally reset my password and have tried to submit 10 such times than recommended.  I did this and then removed battery.  Still in lockout.  Help please.

    SVL

    You ask about the normal device password lock?

    Just type random password characters ten times... after the fifth or ninth attempt, you will be prompted to type the word "blackberry" so that you can see the password as you type and before the tenth incorrect test, you will be notified that the device will wipe itself all the data.

    Have you seen this?

    There may be a wire buried here, which has the answer but.

    I love my private but was one of the best features of my old "BOLD" mixture. I could handle all my SMS etc from my Win7 desktop. It has been integrated, solid and it worked.

    Is there such a thing as mixture for Android (device) and desktop (Win 7 or 10)?

    I tried an app, that I found on the app store, but it has not been integrated and I found myself hoping for BB to deliver something. Its for a year I finally asked but did ut there now?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones that jump BBLink password?

    Hello

    So far, I used a BB Z10 and saved contacts etcetera with BB link installed on the PC (Win7).

    Now received a BB bond and plugged into link BB to transfer contacts.

    When Leap connecting via USB to BB link a password is requested. Now, I stopped after the third attempt (of only five possible!) and ask for help:

    Which security password is necessary? Section of the business or the private party or what else, because I know it is not the BB ID? Do not want to exclude typo so far, but you must know the password on target before burning the last two attempts.

    Thank you very much in advance to!

    HD

    What password is requested? It's either the BlackBerry ID password (and also user name) or password locking device (only the password, no user name).

    Whatever it is, you will need the locking password (if in use) and the powers of BlackBerry ID (username and password) that are used on the Z10. In addition, if you restore a backup to the jump, you must use the same BlackBerry ID... It's the BlackBerry ID on the jump may be different.

  • BlackBerry Smartphone 8330 keyboard lock

    Hello

    I have a Curve 8330.  During the holidays, I received a phone call, when I tried to answer the BB would have not answered any of the keys.  It seems to be completely locked, none of the function keys, the phone or trackball keys no matter what.  As I mentioned, it comes to start it for a while where he had been inactive for a few days, as I tried to answer an incoming call, it was locked.

    Is there a software fix that can be done to solve this problem, or is this a hardware problem?

    Also, if I go back, is there a way to wipe the 8330 with on being able to access the Options menu or enter any input from the keyboard or the track ball?

    Thanks in advance!

    Real

    First try just a simple reboot:

    With the BlackBerry device powered time, remove battery for a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    If the problem persists, post it here, please.
