Some users have a BlackBerry which previously used to connect to BES and BlackBerry had been placed a restrictive IT Policy into it. Once the IT policy is enabled, you will not able to change certain settings, or install Third Party Applications.
This is common issue especially for those people bought BlackBerry on EBay and are unable to make changes to the settings or install Third Party Applications. A quick check to your IT Policy, just go to Options -> Status, then key in command code “buyr”
There are many methods in the internet to remove IT policy, but no one is 100% guaranty successful. I found myself the following method is most workable with higher successful rate. So, please do not ask me for support if you have tried on my method but still not working.
Note: This method can only be used on a BlackBerry smartphone running OS 4.3 to 5.0. Following procedure will delete all data and applications on the BlackBerry smartphone. Please backup the data before performing this procedure.
• Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed into your computer.
• Connect the BlackBerry smartphone to the computer (Windows XP).
Press Start > Run, type “CMD” to bring out Windows command prompt
• Navigate to the Apploader folder by typing cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Apploader and then pressing the Enter key.
• Type loader.exe /resettofactory
Enter you BlackBerry smartphone password if prompted.
• Wait until reset process is completed. Check the IT policy again.
Good luck and hope you can successfully remove IT policy.

ReplyDeleteI've had the same problem for the past two days and it's driving me nuts! I have a (new) BlackBerry Bold 9000 with an enabled firewall and I've been to hell and back with wiping the data, resetting to factory settings, calling blackberry support, messing with the registry, and nothing! I have no way of disabling the firewall and to install WhatsApp which I need to use!
ReplyDeleteI tried the steps above but I don't even come past entering the address path in CMD. It always says that it is invalid or wrong. I am using a Windows 7 32bit. My blackberry desktop is under C:Program Files/Research in Motion/BlackBerry Desktop. there's no Apploader and I moved the Research in Motion folder from Program Files (86) to Program Files. I don't know why I had two Program Files in the first place.
Can anybody please help me??????
THANKS A MILLION!!!!
Lena, make sure type "cd"in front of the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Apploader" or copy and paste "cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Apploader"
ReplyDeleteLena type c:\program files (x86)\.... but this wont help...i tried this on my storm2 and IT policy is still there
ReplyDeleteThis is the only one that worked for me. Many thanks
