Tutorial Setting Blackberry As a Modem in Ubuntu


For a Windows users are not necessarily familiar with DM (Desktop Manager). This application is used to backup and restore data from blackberry device, and also to make the Blackberry device as a modem.

For Ubuntu users who want to make the Blackberry device as a modem, dont be discouraged, because it can still use your Blackberry to use as a modem using Berry4all application.

How to install Berry4all in linux ubuntu?

Installation Berry4all in Ubuntu:
  1. Install dependencies:
    sudo apt-get install python python-wxgtk2.8 libusb-dev ppp python-usb libc6-dev g++ gcc make build-essential
  2. Download and extract application Berry4all
    wget https://bitbucket.org/tcolar/berry4all/downloads/bbtether-0.3q.tgz
    tar -zxvf bbtether-0.3q.tgz
  3. Connect Blackberry to Ubuntu. Check the connection with the following command:
    lsusb | grep Motion
    If the result is like this:
    Bus 001 Device 020: ID 0fca:8004 Research In Motion, Ltd.
    so, your blackberry device has been connected to your Linux Ubuntu operating system.
  4. As a information from Berry4alls site, many providers in Indonesia still not supported, so it will configure manually. In this case, how to configure using provider AXIS in Blackberry Pearl 8120:

    Configuration file located in directory /bbtether/conf/
    cd bbtether/conf/
    cp generic axis
    cp generic-chat axis-chat
    Then edit file axis and axis-chat
    For axis file, find the parameter "user" and "password", then input user and password adjust the default setting related provider. And dont forget to replace connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f conf/generic-chat" to connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f conf/axis-chat". The result of configuration is like this:
    # Generic conf you can modify for "others" providers

    # See http://www.berry4all.com/faqs#there_is_no_config_for_my_provider_yet
    # On instructions to setup a new provider.
    #
    # If you do get a new provider working please send me the 2 config files and the name of the provider so I can add it to the standad distribution
