Help! Need to clear "activation required" on a Verizon BB Storm..can someone help me?

[2low4snow]

I found this thread, just wondering if it might work for Verizon??

ok here goes.

Obtain these two programs:

1. uniCDMA
2. Hexworkshop

1. Install your blackberry desktop manager. (Im using version 4.7 and it hasnt given me any problems.) Plug In blackberry.

2. Run desktop manager

3. Minimize DM and run uniCDMA

4. Select "Qualcomm" under the mode drop menu

5. Click setup and change the port to com4

6. Click Read all and it should fill in the boxes on the left with your blackberry information

7. Click HF ->DM

8. Click memory and change the starting address to 0x17c47cce and length to 524288. Click read and save to file.

9. Now open Hexworkshop and open the file you just created.

10. In the right box you will see a 6 digit number. That is your MSL password.

11. Unplug your blackberry and call ##XXXXXX (XXXXXX is the MSL password) Press Send

12. Change the Mobile Directory Number to you 10 digit cell number.

13. Press Menu then close and it will reset your phone and you are good to go.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any problems and ill try to help. Im not totally sure if your MSL code will be in the same area as mine so if not let me know and i can find some number adjustments for you.

If you are using an unlocked Verizon Storm and have "Activation Required" on your home screen or your phone number displays incorrectly, Dial ##000000 (Send). In the Menu add your phone number and select save. The device will reboot and activate.

the original post here is for telus storms. it is used to obtain the MSL password which is needed to remove the activation required on the home screen.

try diaaling ##000000 and then in the top 2 lines type in your 10 digit phone number and then save. your phone will reset and the activation required will be gone. it doesnt activate any services, it just removes that writing at the top.

Hi all,
I made the steps until # 7 ,
nothing seem to happen here!
I don't know why, and I don't know how to continue!
I have a telus, but the sticker under the battery isn't there, so I don't know if it's 9500 or 9530 !

Plz help.

Thanks.
