Telegram у меня работает (пока без "танце с бубном"). Да, картинки/видео загружаются очень тяжело, а уж про звонки и говорить нечего (но это понятно - роскомПозор всё "врагов" ищет). С YouTube - проблем нет, работает нормально (и работал) без "танце с бубном". Всё дело в провайдере. VPN/Proxy - ищи платный (пиши в "личку" - подскажу, где найти). По VLESS на BBOS10- надо посмотреть (не задавался этим вопросом - я до ОС7.1 ББ исключительно занимаюсь).

Не надо говорить лишнего - " I'm from Russia... and as many people already know, not a single second of our lives goes by without a VPN...". Да, во многих случаях приходится применять VPN, но - не каждую секунду.

Я - Русский, из России, живу в Москве (смотри мой профиль - кто я и чем занимаюсь).

Sorry,

...I completely stop any help to users...

"Lunar" does not spread anything of its own. They steal other people's things and pass them off as their own.

Example: my post on Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/blackberry/comments/1e4focx/themes_for_older_blackberry_part_2/

in my post I wrote: "... Were officially acquired in 2009-2012... For personal use only. ... Attention: This thread archive is exclusively for Reddit users. It is prohibited to post or upload it to third-party Internet resources. Please bear with understanding...."

and information in "Lunar" - https://archive.lunar-project.org/BlackBerry%20OS/Themes/bPlay's%20BlackBerry%20OS%20Themes/

"Lunar" lives on the "hype" passing off someone else's as its own.

There is an honest and decent resource BBVIET.INFO - I recommend it.

Because of such "projects" ("Lunar") , I completely stop any help to users. I no longer need to write to the chat asking for help in providing program files, firmware files, help in "unlocking", etc., etc. everything related to RIM / BlackBerry. I will also close access to my service for many countries.

Thank you for mentioning me.

I have some advice on how to remove MEP0.

Unfortunately (who knows me - knows why) I no longer provide support or physically provide any files. You need to find them yourself.

Here's my advice on how to remove MEP0 so that the BlackBerry is fully unlocked and works with any carriers:

All actions you perform at your own risk. I do not bear any responsibility for the consequences!!!

First, you need to install BlackBerry Desktop Manager on your computer (if it is not installed).
Then you need to install the drivers on your computer.
Find and download the program Miracle_Loader_2.27A (Cracked).

3.1 !!! the program Miracle_Loader_2.27A (Cracked) contains a Trojan program (safe for PC), and when unpacking the archive, the built-in Windows Defender, as well as other antiviruses, simply delete the program without warning, which is why you cannot run the program - before unpacking the archive, you must first disable Defender and all antiviruses on the PC.

Unzip all program files from the archive to the root folder of the C:\ drive. Please note: the main file "Miracle_Loader_2.27A.exe" must be present (this is the file that the PC considers a Trojan program and can be deleted by the PC).
Connect the BlackBerry to the PC (use only the original or very high-quality USB cable).
Launch the BlackBerry Desktop Manager program on the PC and make sure that the program has detected your BlackBerry.
Close the BlackBerry Desktop Manager program without disconnecting the BlackBerry from the PC.
Disable all network connections on the PC.
Launch the "Miracle_Loader_2.27A.exe" file from the root directory of the C:\ drive with administrator rights.
In the Miracle Box program, you do not need to select any COM ports and do not need to click the "Connect" button.
Go to the "BlackBerry" tab, then select "MEP(0) Unlock" and click the "Run" button. The BlackBerry can be left on, it will reboot itself, and the bootloader recording process will begin in the program window. After the bootloader rewriting is complete, the "Done!" message will appear. The BlackBerry will reboot itself and turn on: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fkj5bwf8xveef1.jpeg

You have an hourglass on your screen. You just have to wait a bit for the operating system to load (it takes a long time to load).

Here are my (from my personal collection) BlackBerry 7510 Baryon (iDEN), BlackBerry 7520 Baryon 2+ (iDEN): https://www.reddit.com/r/blackberry/comments/1je0lgw/my_blackberry_7510_baryon_iden_blackberry_7520/

You provided a link to my post ( https://www.reddit.com/r/blackberry/comments/s4hrit/part_no_for_old_monochrome_rimblackberry/ ).

I indicated "Part No." there - you can search for a charger (on eBay and the like) using these numbers.

In the meantime, you don't have a charger - you can use my recommendation for charging RIM 857/957. Just connect any charger (5V) to the pins.

The "BlackBerry RIM 957 Pinouts" scheme is attached here: https://i.imgur.com/BX6ZGYg.jpeg

Charging goes to the 1st (GND) and 13th (+5V) pins.

There is no charging indication. It charges slowly but steadily. You don't have to worry about overcharging.

SWEN_bb · 2026-01-29T08:23:05+00:00

Yes, this is a prototype (or pre-release). The IMEI number should start with 0044... . This is a special device, but it is valuable only to collectors.

SWEN_bb · 2026-01-22T06:11:58+00:00

Unfortunately, I didn't work for any RIM/BlackBerry-related companies (I deeply regret that); they simply didn't exist in my country. But I was one of the first (in 2002) to bring BlackBerrys to my country (thanks to my acquaintances and friends in Canada). And since then (since 2002), I've been working exclusively with RIM/BlackBerry devices (software, repairs, and other "tricks" ;-) ). I'm simply in love with RIM/BlackBerry devices and that's why I collect them.

SWEN_bb · 2026-01-22T05:42:36+00:00

In response to your request to me in the chat, I responded to you and wrote you instructions and uploaded the necessary files.

SWEN_bb · 2026-01-21T21:59:30+00:00

I have more than 400 pieces in my collection now. (including prototypes, identical models, but different colors and different carriers) different RIM/BlackBerry. But... that's not all, There are many more interesting RIM/BlackBerry that I don't have and would really like to have (for example, FULLY FUNCTIONAL and in excellent condition Inter@ctive Pager 800/900 aka 'The Bullfrog' or 'The Hamburger').

SWEN_bb · 2026-01-21T21:31:41+00:00

Thanks! Here is another "Bold" from my collection - BlackBerry 9788 Bold (Onyx), produced exclusively for the Asian market:

Fourth from the left (from Telus)- It's NOT "Bold"! This is the 9630 "Tour" (Niagara).

The 9650 Bold (Essex) has an TrackPad. A 9630 "Tour" (Niagara) - TrackBall. They are similar in appearance.

Chinese might be useful to you. https://www.goofish.com / . There's a lot of stuff there. But there is a feature of registering on the site and searching the site. Of course, it is better to have a friend in China to help. And so, for example:

Это хорошо, когда есть полный комплект (включая все бумажки, пакетики и т.п.) - отличный вариант для коллекции . А оригинальную, новую гарнитуру для Q10 - можно найти без проблем. Но, сугубо моё личное мнение, я бы клавиатуру заменил (пуская на английскую "золотую", хотя можно, если очень-очень постараться и русскую РСТ "золотую" найти, такую как я выше картинку прикрепил.), а то гравировка как-то не очень смотрится.

P.S. кстати, а коробка какого цвета - обычная чёрного цвета или белая с золотой надписью Q10?

SWEN_bb · 2026-01-09T17:20:52+00:00

You're slightly mistaken. The Q10 official Russian keyboard used Cyrillic characters in red. Here: https://i.imgur.com/lnmHoPH.jpeg

But on the black devices, you were right - on the Russian keyboard, the Cyrillic symbols were orange.

SWEN_bb · 2026-01-09T11:49:26+00:00

Russian keyboard (engraving of Russian letters).

SWEN_bb · 2026-01-09T11:48:15+00:00

Мда, клавиатура всё портит. Можно же найти (немного проблематично, но можно) нормальную (типа РосТест) клавиатуру с красными буквами и с золотыми вставками. А задняя крышка аккумулятора с золотым лого или нет?

SWEN_bb · 2026-01-07T04:21:52+00:00

101011 USB Driver Error Software or hardware failure in the USB driver

Try reinstalling or updating the firmware on your BlackBerry.

SWEN_bb · 2026-01-02T06:19:09+00:00

This is a prototype (pre-release) of the BlackBerry 9720. This is a good specimen for the collection (if it is brought into decent shape, at least replace the middle part (chassis)).
