Blackberry Hidden Engineering Screen

[Mufaddal 678]

I dont know how many on forum are aware of this

but there is a secret hidden menu for debugging and developers in backberry called as

ENGINEERING MODE

i used this mode twice while unlocking GSM of 8830 , by MFI TOOL which disabled mass strogae mode by default when writing new ram image

this mode has lot of option . though i dont have bb to explore more options , but a lot can be done , besides enabling and disabling mass storage

HOW TO GET INTO THIS SCREEN

first of all u will need engineering screen code generator

the mfi tool has this code generator

all u have to do is

-On device press ALT+SHIFT+H at same time , it will open help screen

- on pc start MFI tool , donot connect ur blackberry , and press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F12

It wil open a menu in that click ESCREEN CODES

it will open a code generator

now look at help screen u opened on bb

fill in the details in code generator exactly as u see in bb help screen

it will generate a code

now on ur bb , still in help screen , just type that code by pressing buttons ( for numbers use alt ) it wont show anyting on screen but when u finish typing code it will open up engineering screen

it also has option in radio to enable/disable gps .

Thanks Doc.

For all the knowledge. After going through all the parameters in the Engineering screen, I remembered when

I used *#0000#* on my SPICE C810 and got Engineering screen. I also played with Programming and bricked my

phone and it was second day after buying ,but didn't got tensed ,as being member of Rimweb one should know

till Hardware is OK ,software can be loaded again and again. So went to service center and got it loaded with

latest software. Once again thanks for sharing your knowledge.

thanks

Amit

Thats not hidden screen Kanishk, thats where you edit to make your phone work on reliance. The screen which Dr. is talking about has lot more to explore
