Hidden things are usually the best :)

Well, what to say? The best feature I've seen
in blackberry phones is hidden!
Let's unhide it!
On 8900 and 9000 (for example)
press ALT+CAP+H.
You will get to the "Help Me!" screen.
That screen is not really what you think
it is. It's a crippled engineering screen.
How to uncripple it?
Enter on the above form
the data you see on your 'crippled' screen.
For App Version you must include
the space and parethesis.
For Uptime, just enter the number.
After filling all the form, you'll
get your key.
To enter it just press the keys.
(You won't see anything)
Use ALT for numbers and
normal keys for the characters.
To enter C8, for example, you
will have to type: c then ALT+x
As soon as you have entered all 8
characters you will see the above
screen every time you will
press ALT+CAP+H
Stay tuned,
Namaste!

Nice to see you still putting your coding skils to use!
Have fun at what you do ;)

@are: My nickname is Zibri.

yes I looked at mfi.. and I unlocked an 8900 with it but it was a glitch I'm trying to understand and repeat. It doesn't work with my second 8900. It worked like a charm on the 9000.

@Pepijin:

Zabiiiiiiiiiiiir (XDDDD) anche se non ci ho capito nulla di quanto hai scritto qui sopra sei un grandeeeeeeee!!!!!!! : D ah, namaste anche a te^^

Zibri said...

In due parole: nei blackberry c'e' un menu nascosto che si attiva con un codice che concede raramente la RIM.. Ho fatto un reverse del codice e qui' sopra lo si puo' generare.
Fine della storia :)

Wolvedouche said...

Zibri :D God-like lol.. hoping you release the Blackberry MEP code finding tool :(
Openness first I thought :S

Admin said...

a me non funge :-(

Zibri said...

Admin: funge sempre.
Se non funge e' perche' hai inserito male i dati.
nel caso della versione devi mettere anche lo spazio e le parentesi.. per esempio:
5.0.0.100 (100)

per l'uptime solo il numero di secondi senza "sec o secs"

E per inserire il codice devi premere le lettere normalmente ed i numeri con ALT.

I managed to unlock 2 x 8900 using MML... i just select clear mep and using menu then reload the device software using 5.0 Beta desktop manager deleting vendor.xml as well

Zibri said...

Martin please contact me by email: zibree AT gmail DOT youknow :)

I think the 2 8900 you unlocked had MEP-07723-003 right? Could you also unbrand them? (I think no)
With the 8900 with mep-07723-004 mml does not work.

DanExtreme said...

Mr. Zibri! Does every blackberry has this crippled engineering screen? and also! thank you very much! your work is very very appreciated!
Cheers...

Zibri said...

Yes. Every BB has it.
Just find the HelpMe! screen on yours.
The code can be calculated using the above utility :)

jericho said...

zibri hello, where you are, we are all waiting for applications from your iphone unlocked, apple iphone now has issued a new system, be the first to open, let the expertise you still remember us. we miss unlock iphone from you ...

DanExtreme said...

cheers... ur work rocks!

ianna said...

Just got the screen: thanks!
Now, the question is: what can I modify and what advantage will I get? can you share with us some tricks?

slackerbri said...

Just when I think Zibri has done it all he somehow manages to take it a step further. Thank you for the knowledge but more so the inspiration.

Zaine said...

Hi Zibri,
This is not working for me.
Can you tell me what one should select for key duration?
I have tried all options on there eg 1 day, 3day etc.
I have attempted this on a 8320 and 8900, having no success on both.

Regards

Zibri said...

Key duration is not the issue (you choose).

Remember to enter the App version with parenthesis for example:
5.0.0.100 (100)
(with the space too)
And enter the number in uptime alone (without sec/secs)

The read my post on how to enter it (don't change the screen or uptime will change and so will the key)

Robert said...

Zibri, thanks in advance for your help and inspiration; got a BB 8520 MEP 0 left; anyway to reset this yet?

ness1309 said...

Can't see the screen now??

ITSnanta said...

Very Good application

Janice said...

Zibri,
Thank you for this, I successfully opened the screen on my curve. Do you know where I would look to find a spy app that may have been installed on my device?

Zibri said...

No idea. I don't like blackberrys so much. I don't even think there are spy apps.. but who knows.. everything is possible. Tell your secret lover to text you on the secret phone ;)
