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!

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

  3. @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:

  5. 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 :)

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

    ReplyDelete
  7. 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.

  8. 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

    ReplyDelete
  9. 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.

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

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

  12. 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 ...

  13. zibri how's it going? what about HTC phones? or u have decided to concentrate on BBs as of now?
    cheers... ur work rocks!

    ReplyDelete
  14. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  15. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  16. 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

    ReplyDelete
  17. 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)

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

    ReplyDelete
  19. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  20. 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 ;)

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

    ReplyDelete
  22. 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

    Pin: 23e2e655

  44. Works perfect on my Torch Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  45. 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

    ReplyDelete
  46. 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

  56. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  59. 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)

  67. Hello,
    I have a blackberry 9900 that will not connect to the 4g network of my carrier.
    The phone was originally sold by AT&T.(No issues getting on 4g)
    However i am currently with another carrier (T-mobile). For some reason on this network it will only connect to the edge network. Any idea what settings i could change to move it to 4g? I feel there has to be some configuration i can change. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

TP-LINK Configuration file encrypt and decrypt.

Here we go! TP-Link is another company that thinks that security by obscurity could ever work. If you "backup" the configuration from most TP-Link routers, you will get a .BIN file which is "encrypted". Use this utility below, to decrypt it (so you can edit it) and encrypt it again. Have fun.

Powerline Ethernet fun and secrets.

Many 200 Mb/s powerline adapters nowadays are based on the INTELLON 6300 chipset. Despite what can be thought looking at them, they are all using the same hardware and firmwares. I heard many people with Netgear XAV101 or Linksys PLK 200 or PLE 200 having problems after firmware updates and many other people with other brands having much more problems because of lack of support or configuration/upgrade utilities. So let me explain a few things I learnt studying them. Many of 200 Mb/s powerline ethernet adapters follow the "HomePlug AV" standard. (85 Mb adapters use HomePlug 1.0 standard which is completely different). This standard uses ethernet broadcast packets using the HomePlug AV protocol. The interesting thing is that their firmware is made of two different parts: a .PIB file (Parameter Information Block) and a .NVM file (the code itself). In the P.I.B. there are many interesting things: The branding (mac address, device name, etc) and the tone map. I test

Your own CORS ANYWHERE proxy on CLOUDFLARE

Hello again! Many of you probably hate as I do CORS because it hinders the very nature of internet, which is SHARING. There are some services to circumvent this commercial  restriction, one of these is the famous "cors anywhere". So yesterday I decided to make my own and allow you to make your own in only 2 minutes. To do so you just need a cloudflare account (can be set up in 1 minute). The you can upload my worker on it and have your personal very fast cors proxy! So, enough talk, just head to:  https://github.com/Zibri/cloudflare-cors-anywhere The is also a demo online at: https://test.cors.workers.dev Enjoy! Zibri
