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!

Hi, Zabir
Congrats that you had found the unlock for blackberry i had a blackberry which have 0 try left and want to unlocking is there any way to reset MEP i had a solution for other Blackberry Models except 8900, 9500, 9530
Hope you gona find it
if you have time just look at MFI Multiloader

Pepijn said...

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

Zibri said...

@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:

;)

aquilottolaziale said...

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.

Martin said...

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...

zibri how's it going? what about HTC phones? or u have decided to concentrate on BBs as of now?
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 ;)

jas said...

how can you tell which version of MEP the 8900 has?

Anand said...

Zibri, Thanks for the eng code unlock. It is really helpful and with other sites closed and threatened for the same by RIM, be careful

Any solutions for the Bold 9700 Zibri? Thanks!

Henry Shand said...

I can change the umts bands with this menu?

Chris A. said...

I cant seem to get my MEP code seen nor can I get the MEP entering window open on my 8320, what is going on?

Thanks in advance.

Nii Noi Dowuona-Ocran said...

The best post i have seen online since owning a BB this year
:):):)

EpicAwesomeness said...

i cannot get the code to work... i use a pearl 8100.... what am i doing wrong? if i need the letter H does it have to be capitalized? do i need to tap 5 twice to get H?

Emma said...

how do you get it work on a Storm 2 9520 ?

mick said...

Emma on 9520 hold blackberry key and press top left top right top left top right

flopex said...

You are the best. After using the on phone application(nguyen which required a license to buy) I though I would never find something like this. Cool! By the way do you happen to have the source code for this? I would like to make an applet for it.

Simon said...

Zibri,
I have the ATT Blackberry 9800 with "0 left" indication for MEP2. I tried your procedure, the key generated was accepted but the counter didn't reset to 10 left. What I could do? How you could hekp me?

David said...

Is there a way to remove this so when you hit alt+shift+h is goes back to the help screen? Thanks in advance.

dipset said...

i want to confirm this works on my 9330 running Os6 leak .333 :)

Anouar said...

I do not understand what comes serves on the panel to help and understand the code generated by the site

I have a Blackberry Curve 9300

thank you for answering me

A m L said...

is this works on OS 6 ?

25512 said...

yes it does ~

maskedviperus said...

Random question - is there a way to reverse this after its done?

Zibri said...

Ranom answer: no, but it expires after a day to 30 days.

tom said...

I am using the blackberry 8700g.
Pin: 23e2e655
App version: 4.1.0.436
uptime: 508

When I enter the key nothing happens. I think the problem is that no parenthesis number shows up beside the app version.
The key I've been entering is 8FC576C6
Please help. Thanks!

Shardninja said...

you rock man way to stick it to the man! lol

Junior said...

i have a torch 9800 unlocked for tmobile.. i wanna get the UMA enabled onm the phone.. is this where i need to go to get it done? and if i screw it up, will it make permanent damage to my phone?

St David Odyssey said...

Great Blog - have you blogged, how to turn UMA on, on a BB9520? I've got to the engineering screens, but not sure what to do next.

lleis

themodestscholar said...

worked like a charm

Naim Aliu said...

i doesn't work on my torch. Please help

Shaun said...

Works perfect on my Torch Thanks.

Annie said...

I'm trying to follow the UMA posts for an unlocked Torch on T-mobile. I have downloaded the certificates and unlocked my engineering screen, and added the guidelines to the escreen for UMA enabling. But, how do I find out if its working? I turned off the cell network so I'm just on wifi, but I don't see an UMA signal on the top. help me.
Thanks
Anne

Abraham said...

Ok so I did it on my torch. It's tricky and nobody explains well. YOU HAVE TO PRESS ALT+CAP+H ALL TOGETHER. Just keep them pressed until you get that screen (on torches is a lot longer) It will give you the whole shebang that it's asking. After that you can follow everything step by step as it explains. Very simple. Do not skip the certificates and also when you are in the UMA options deselect the 2 options there and fill in the rest as showed. Other than that it works. Reboot and enjoy. Mine worked right of the first time

zackipie1995 said...

Riavroc said...

Unlocked Pearl 9100 - can't get the alt+cap+H key sequence to do anything for me. Any ideas?

Riavroc said...

Got it! Thanks!!! On my 9100, had to enter it from the "options" screen. Could not get to it otherwise.

LIU_5728 said...

after I typed in the generated 8 digits code, nothing happened.. My phone APP version is 5.0.0.167(1728), do i need to input everything includes (1728)?

AndyC said...

@LIU_5728 yes enter exactly as this format "5.0.0.977 (1602)" for App version

Cookie303 said...

My carrier has locked my umts to 0 on my 9800 is there a way where I can change it to 1,2,5? I have tried on escreen but it doesn't respond

N Joy said...

hey, i had my 9780 unlocked.. But recently strange message appeared
"Phone not allowed MM6" read several forums which says the IMEI is reported lost or stolen, Is it only blocked for the particular country? or every country in the world..?? Can I change my IMEI and PIN so RIM will recognize it as a different blackberry phone?
Appreciate your help.
njoyboy@gmal.com

Thnx

noshkov said...

What do you mean by unlocked... cause my Storm 2 is unlocked phone means that it`s working with any kind of SIM cards, but my prob is that it`s apps are charging me a lot. So I need to hack`em all :D... can You please tell me how to do it ? :)
Thanks ;)

Abdulg said...

Awesome Zibri! Can I just ask, what calculations do you do with the inputs to get the code?

deanjc18 said...

This worked successfully the first time, but then I upgraded the phone to the new OS and had to get the OMA to work again. So I tried to go into the engineering screen using your code cracker but it would not work. Wondering if they did something in the new OS to prevent this hack? New OS version is 6.0.0.668 (2949)

Four1Fool said...

Worked on .668, but not working on new 6.0.0.706

chuckybuss74 said...
