Trying to Install Blackberry Protect on Bold 9900

Hello,
I have a bold 9900 with 7.1.0 software installed.
I downloaded and installed blackberry protect from app world, however, i am unable to activate the software.
I cannot find the icon anywhere on my device. Does this mean i must have blackberry 10 software installed on my phone to be able to use this app?
Is there a way to install blackberry protect on my device? If so, step by step instructions will be grealty appreciated.
I found a third party software online named gadget trak but it cost $20 per year. I rather use software designed by blackberry for copatability and security reasons.
Your advice is grealty appreciated.
Happy New Year

No, BlackBerry10 does not install to and cannot be installed to a 9900.
And, BB10 is not required for Protect to run.
Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
You will be looking for an icon of a goldish-yellow shield, or sometimes it is a black shield.
If you still don't see it:
1. On your homescreen, press the Menu key > SHOW ALL, so that SHOW ALL is checked.
2. Look in EACH folder on your device... Applications, Instant Messengers, Downloads, etc.
If you still don't see it, look at Options > Advanced > Applications. Do you see it listed there?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here is a KB that discusses that error:

    Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.

  • Blackberry Protect - Locating Phone

    I'm using a BB Tour 9650 with 6.0. I recently installed Blackberry Protect however as of right now it appears to be unable to locate my phone through the website. The service appeared to work great last night with the exception that it was unable to locate my phone via GPS though I have the Checkbox checked to locate phone via website for BB Protect. Today while trying to test it and get it working I am finding that I am not able to send the commands to it, send ringtone, send lock, etc unless I restart the application on my phone then everything sends. Any ideas?

    No.

  • BlackBerry Protect doesn't show my phone

    Hello, I am trying to set BlackBerry Protect for my Z10. I can enable it on my phone side. However, on the web side, it always says: "A device isn’t associated with BlackBerry Protect." and I cannot use all the protect functions shown on  the web. I confirmed that my wireless network, location service and BlackBerry ID work well. I tried to disable/enable BlackBerry Protect for many times, and reboot the phone many times. I waited about 1 week, but I still cannot make BlackBerry Protect work on the web side. My OS version is 10.3.2.440. My phone is an AT&T version Z10 brought directly from AT&T in USA. The Support Information on the BlackBerry Protect web shows: BlackBerry Account Email:(my BlackBerry ID)Web Portal Version:1.2.1.93 - scm-1.2.1.93Server Name:kronos.bbprotect.us.blackberry.comProtected Devices:Model Client ID PIN default-1----------  Please help me to solve the issue. Thanks!

    OK, I want you to do a couple things, EVEN if you have done these before, try in this order. try this,at Settings > BlackBerry Protect, turn off Protect. Leave it off.Restart: Leaving the Z10 powered on, remove the battery for five minutes and then reinsert to reboot. Give it 2-3 minutes after rebooting for all data syncing to subside, and then,Now, turn on Protect again and after some time see if Protect is working yet.ALSO, have you connected your BlackBerry to your PC with the Link software? If not, please download and do so, making sure you enter your BBID as required in Link.BlackBerry Link for PCSync to your PC with BlackBerry Link, with support for Windows Media Player and iTunes.See system requirementsDownload for PC

  • Blackberry Bold 9900 / Enterprise Activation

    Thank you in advance for your help with this matter.
    I have purchased the Blackberry bold 9900 smart phone couple of days ago.
    Not an expert myself but expected better from our own IT Dept…seems that they need help themselves.
    Not certain how to find enterprise activation icon on blackberry 9900 bold.  Usually this is what I do:
    Options>>device>>advanced System Setting>>Enterprise setting.
    For some odd reason…enterprise setting is not there.  It is not also under set up…just the web based emails setting.
    I have tried the wipe out but nothing changed.
    Would be grateful if someone could be kind please to tell me what to do.
    Thanks so much for your time.

    You can dowload the Enterprise activation App from the below link, but make sure that the your number has the proper data plan, and the device registered  with your carrier.

  • Blackberry Bold 9900 OS software update from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0

    Helo Everyone
    I tried to upgrade my Blackberry Bold 9900 device software from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0 but having difficulties. I tried using the Blackberry Desktop Manager but there was no version 7.1.0 listed among the available updates. Even when I tried to do it directly via the Blackberry official website, Version 7.1.0 was also not listed. Finally I tried to do the update with my phone directly by accessing: Options>Device>Software Updates.
    It displayed my Current Version of 7.0.0 Bundle 2406 and an available version 7.1.0 Bundle 1149. But when I Clicked Perform Update to download the new version it showed preparing to download but then displayed an error message such as "The download cannot continue because your device cannot connect to the update server using any of the following methods:Wi-Fi".
    Meanwhile, I did not perform the upgrade with Wi-Fi because I have an active blackberry data subscrip of 2GB from my mobile network provider.
    Please I need help on how to perform the upgrade from version 7.0.0 to version 7.1.0 with the latest Bundle.
    Thank you all as i await your kind solution.
    Solved!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
    1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
    2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
    3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
    4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/downloa​d_sites.jsp
    It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
    5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
    6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste​...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
    If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
