My Blackberry 9300 is asking for a MEP code

I know the MEP code is the code to unlock your phone, but Im not trying to unlock it. I ran out of battery I charged it full and when I turned it on now is was asking for that code. It is my providers SIM card and I already tried to do the battery pull and still the same, called my provider they just advised me to get a new SIM but that didnt work

Very strange indeed...see this KB:
KB26790 BlackBerry smartphone prompts for an MEP code after switching SIM cards
While written for different model BBs, the results are the same as what you report. Unfortunately, the resolution is rather drastic as well. I also find this KB:
KB03889 Changing the service provider or network
All in all, what I recommend you to is continue to work with your Service Provider as all I can find indicates that they must be involved to help resolve this. Further, they can escalate your case into RIM for formal support if needed...formal RIM support is not available in this user-to-user forum.
Good luck!

  • Purchased Applicatio​n asking for Registrati​on Code

    Hi,
    I have just recently purchased for £2.09 an SMS COUNTER for Blackberry 9700. It worked as a trial for 2 days (even though i assumed it would be the legit thing straight away as i paid money for it) and now its asking for a registration code. But i have not been sent one?
    Anyone know what i can do here? As im annoyed that iv paid money for it and it not work.
    Help would be greatly appreciated
    Thank you

    We see the application name, version number, etc.  There is no code.  It says "Trial version."
    Then you are not getting the proper download, I suspect (I don't have that app, so I can only suppose here...). What does AW say about the app? Does it say that it's a Trial Version or a full version?
    JandNL wrote:
    We had to reinstall the application some time ago and did not have the code at that time, either.
    So you had a full version at one time? With a code? Sorry...I'm not quite understanding what you say...

    Have you considered contacting the app developer? Sometimes, they have problems properly pushing things through AW...but only the app developer can escalate such issues (they have a dedicated "vendor portal" into RIM that the consumer does not have access to). Often, reputable app developers will provide a work around to gain access to what their customers have purchased (with purchase records provided, of course).
    Cheers!

    Hello Kewal,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to perform an update.  I recommend trying to update using iTunes, and as always, it is a good idea to make a backup first.

    My ipad is asking for a pass code to perform the software updates.   It has never done this before and I haven't set a pass code.  How do I find, amend or delete this?

    It's asking for the passcode you use to lock/unlock your iPad.

    If you didn't buy your iPhone in your own country and you unlocked it to work in any way, you're out of luck.  If you accidentally setup a passcode check out this old discussion:

    Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Having lost my password, et al., I obtained a new one successfully, but now when I tried to make a purchase, I was asked for my Security Code. How do I obtain a new one since I have lost all my iPad documentation?

    That refers to the 3 digit security code on the back of your credt card, not a security code for the iPad.

  • HT4113 My daughters iPod touch asks for her pass code but when she types it in the cursor does not move or input any characters so,she cannot get into the iPod. This has suddenly happened for no apparent reason

    My daughters iPod touch asks for her pass code but when she types it in the cursor does not move or input any characters so,she cannot get into the iPod. This has suddenly happened for no apparent reason, what can we do? Can anyone help please?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
