Sprint BlackBerry 8830 - how do we get in to debug mode...?

I have searched for two days everywhere and can not locate how we enter in to debug mode on the 8830.
I need access to the Rx Ec/lo and the SID#, currently I can only get signal strength in the home screen by pressing the ALT+NMLL (changes the graphical signal indicator to the numerical one, i.e.  -80)
Please, I could really use some help with this so we can diagnose the repeaters on our corporate campus.
Thanks,
J
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, to answer my own question, I have now found the answer.
Unfortunately, the 8830 and some of the other newer BlackBerrys do not make it easy to get this type of engineering information.
You must:
Have a login/password to  https://www.blackberry.com/EngineeringScreens/ (updated 5/30/2008)
On the BlackBerry pres ALT+CAP+H and leave it on this screen.
Once logged in to the link on #1, you will be asked to enter your PIN#, Uptime and Zip code of where your device is.
You will then receive a unlock code that is specific to this information (if you exit out of this help screen on the blackberry, the uptime number will be different thus your code will be different.)
Then enter the unlock code on the BlackBerry, holding the ALT key for numbers, capitals are not necissary.
This will give you access to the Trace Mode Engineering App
Select "Radio Engineering" screen
Select "CDMA Engineering" screen
Select "Operational Info"  (2nd line ec/io, 3rd line rss)
Scroll down to "Neighbor Set Details" and get 1st line Active Pilot, 2nd  through 20th will give Neighbor sites with ec/io for each.
*This code will only work for 30 days, then you will need to get a new code in the same way.
I hope this helps everyone!

    How can I get a indesign debug version? is it free?
    Anyone could give me a download link?
    thanks

    I know this is available to solution providers, if you are registered as such at partners.adobe.com. I don't know what level of membership is required, but that is one place the debug version is available from.

    Google "DFU mode", put it in that mode and Restore it in iTunes.
    And stay away from jailbreaking.

    I recently brought a HD PVR, i put in the disk to install the hard drive and it said " This program doesn't support DOS Mode! how do i get out of DOS Mode?? Please Help

    What exactly are you trying to do? PVRs are for recording from TV not computers.
    Either way, if it's complaining about DOS mode, it's Windows oriented software and not Mac compatible.

  • How can I get out of recovery mode?

    How can I get out of recovery mode without restoring my iPod?

    Try using Yamipod.
    http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/downloads/
    Make sure iTunes is closed before you use yamipod.
    Another issue I have heard about if are in Windows is a Parental Controls conflict with iTunes and your iPod trying to access the iTunes Server for the Restore Software Update.
    Make sure there are no firewalls blocking it if you are on a Mac.
    Try that, if not, post again.

  • HOW DO I GET OUT OF RECOVERY MODE?

    Simple question, but seems to be hard to answer. Maybe nobody knows the answer. i have posted and posted time after time and no body gives me an answer. Go to clean up. ok been and done that. nothing happens. run pc scandisk. did it. nothing happened. connect to pc. did it. it does connect. i can get stuff off my nomad muvo 2 but for some reason
    I CANNOT GET OUT OF RECOVERY MODE.
    Could someone, anyone, give me a fricking straight on how to get the **bleep** out of RECOVERY MODE. I didn't spend $70 dollars on this piece of crap for it to not work.
    So for the love that is all good and pure in the world, could someone please, please, getting on knees and begging for someone to help? And do not, and i repeat DO NOT REFER ME TO THE FRICKING RECOVERY MODE HELP THING, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HELP. SO DON'T BOTHER TYPING THAT IN.

    I have a Zen Micro Photo and have been frustrated for many weeks. Sometimes a certain sequence is the key to success. I tried everything to no avail. I could not even get the Zen to charge with my Computer or wall outlet. I was stuck in Recovery Mode Hell. Of course, my battery drained and you must have a charge to upgrade the Firmware or do anything else. I even ordered a new battery on eBay. In the meantime, I purchased a **competitor** MP3 player which is the absolute best I have ever seen. Anyway, I read the Post here suggesting you try a certain sequence---which I then tried---and it worked for me. Somehow, I was able to get a charge from my PC last night. Without being hooked up to the PC I did the sequence (it would get locked up in Recovery Mode as soon as I hooked up to the PC anyway). My PC would simply refuse to recognize the Zen Micro Photo no matter what I did. As suggested, from Recovery Mode I clicked on "reformat", and when it was done I clicked on "reboot"--which it did. I then plugged in the USB cable and to my extreme surprise my PC recognized the player! I had downloaded the correct firmware file so I clicked on it. It opened and asked me if I really wanted to install this Firmware update as my player already had this Firmware installed. Really? I did a Format and I thought I erased the Firmware. I told setup to upgrade the Firmware anyway--which it did. Suddenly, my player started "reloading" its Library! I now have a working Zen Micro Photo (and a new **competitor**). I transferred a few MP3's to the Zen and they play just fine. I am serious when I say I tried everything-----over and over again. The player just remained locked in Recovery mode. It was this certain sequence that worked for me and possibly may work for you. This was my last attempt before the trash bin. Prices have fallen drastically for MP3 players and quality has improved (**competitor**), but I am happy that I now have two working MP3 players. One of them is going on eBay---any guess which one?

  • IPhone 3GS froze during iOS 5.1.1 update - how do I get out of recovery mode without having to restore?

    So I tried to update my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1.1, like iTunes told me to do, and it froze part way through the installation for a couple of hours.  I tried to "reset" the iPhone by pressing both the home and power buttons simultaneously, but now iTunes tells me my iPhone is in recovery mode.  From my limited knowledge, it seems I need to restore my iPhone, but I don't want to lose anything, like my SMS history.
    Is there a way to get out of recovery mode without having to restore?
    Thanks!

    I came across this post as my iPhone 3Gs had gone into recovery mode on its own accord.   I had hundreds of photos unsaved and was gutted when I saw this post, I felt even worse as it was not the information (gdgmacguy) I wanted to read.
    Unfortunately, the above post is simply wrong! A system cannot destroy information in a blink of an eye.   If it were that easy, the forensic teams across the world would have a hard time.  A criminal could simply force a phone into recovery to remove all the data.  Please!
    I managed not only to take the phone out of recovery mode but also, salvaged all the data held on it.  
    To be fair, I am a little annoyed at Apple for not offering a salvage option on the device for such a situation.  And it may be that they will not like me sharing this information, in which case I believe this view to be morally wrong because photos are so important.  We all make mistakes, in terms of forgetting to backup from time to time.
    What I used was the Redsn0w software, running as an administrator in XP compatibility mode.  In the ‘Extras’ section it as a Recovery Fix option.  It simply runs some software that takes the device out of recovery mode.  I had to run it twice for some reason but the second time (out of desperation) worked a treat.  The phone is now exactly as it was before it went into recovery mode.  More to the point, it allowed me to backup all the photos and videos that I had failed to do before hand.  And let’s face it, photos and videos are usually the most valuable stuff we keep on our phones. 
    I hope this help anyone in the same situation. I really hope someone from apple reads it and is able to convince the bosses that a recovery option is very important.  And to take note that YES it is possible to recover data on a phone stuck in recovery mode.  And more than likely it would be easier for apple, compared to other non-apple professionals. 
    Good luck.

  • I wanted to trouble shoot, put comupter in safe mode , now its stuck , closed FF 3 times, re-started computer, still in safe mode.how do i get out of safe mode

    i wanted to do trouble shooting, i put computer in safe mode & now i can not get out of safe mode. I've closed FF & re-started computer 3 times, even shut down computer, still in safe mode. What do i need to do to get out of safe mode?

    Hi,
    Please see this article: [[Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode]]
    I hope that helps. Post back if not.
    --Edward
    EDIT: Just noticed that you already rebooted. You say that you "put computer in safe mode". Is firefox in safe mode or your whole computer?
    If '''Firefox''' is stuck in safe mode despite reboot
    * Check that the shift keys on your keyboard are not stuck down.
    * Uninstall firefox and install again (your settings will not be lost as they are stored in your profile folder).
    Let me know if neither of those works.

  • How do I get out of Safe Mode?

    I have a vintage 2007 iMac that is very slow since the Yosemite and Mavericks upgrades. Apparently I've used up all my RAM (1GB x 2). After speaking to a technical adviser over the telephone a couple of weeks ago, he talked me through a few things within safe mode and said it may or may not help but worth a try. Last night I tried to go through the procedure of removing both the above operating systems, but didn't really know what I wa doing and was guessing command letters on the keyboard.
    What I want is to just get back to normal mode so that I can use my slow Mac again. Nothing woks. as you've guessed, I'm a complete novice. Any advice would be much appreciated please. I put in a call to Apple support this morning, waited for half an hour only to find I that I had called wrong support team and was then cut off.
    Thanks, Kathleen

    Thank you Paul for your quick response. Unfortunately this doesn't work. I must have tried 2 dozen times to restart, sometimes pressing various random keys before the Apple logo appears, sometimes not pressing anything. To get out and back in I have force shutdown.
    What happens all the time is that I keep getting the Language window and then a box called OS X Utilities, then I've no idea what to do. The first option "Restore from Time Machine Backup" - I don't even know what Time Machine does. I don,t backup anything - my work production usage is nil.Then "Reinstall OS X" keeps telling me that I'm not connected to the Internet - yes I am. I only have wifi which has never let me down, I'm sending this via my iPad. "Get help online" wants a Safari log-in keychain - don't know what that is and in any case still says I'm not connected to the internet. Finally, in "Disk Utility" I've tried every which way and nothing is accepted wherever I put it.
    Any further suggestions will be most welcome.
    Regards, Kathleen

    I am not sure, how can you do it on the fly, but if you want to restart the server here are the parameters you need to add to the java arguments
    -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=$Port
    (where Port will be any port you want to connect to).
