Today I upgraded my 8700g using Cingular OS Upgrade Package v4.1.0.529
mainly so I could get the Zen Theme. The Zen Theme works great but now it seems I've screwed up my BES connection.

1. My corporate e-mail account is no longer listed under Messaging Services. I can receive corporate e-mails but cannot send or reply.

2. My BB Browser (BES) icon has vanished. I've tried all the typical suggestions

I've performed the following remedies but nothing has worked:

- Registering via Host Routing Table
- Regenerate Encryption
- Removing battery,
- Alt-CAP-Del.

Need EXPERT help, PLEEEESE.

In your Options look for "Advanced". Then Select "Message Services" and ensure the messaging (CMIME) is set to 'Desktop'

You have to redo an Enterprise Activation (ask your BES admin to set the password). Afterwards everyhting will be okay again and sending email will work.

"Desktop" is not listed as an option. The only one listed is my yahoo address.

I was afraid of this. If I ask they will probably figure out that I've messed with the device. Is there a way to avoid getting my BES admin involved?

Also, please explain about the password.

My apologies I did not closely read your original post regarding the status of your message services.
I will assume that the "Enterprise Activation" Selection under Advanced Options" is not present either?

"Enterprise Activation" is present under Options-Advances.

Have you tried using that to restore your BES functionality? Wirelessly it will take a while (it did when I accomplished that) but it may be a good shot before contacting your BES Admin.

Sorry...but your BES Admin will likely have to be involved.

Unless you work for your IT folks, don't be afraid of them. Just tell them what you need, and they should be able to help you out. It's not their place to judge or even to ask why. It's not like the handheld is broken. Just needs to be re-activated.

Can you connect to your company email via VPN or LAN? Do you use Outlook? If so, just connect to your email system and run desktop manager using your company email profile. One you have desktop manager running it should say, "connected" and "online". Leave it connected and it should start the EA process. I'm not real familiar with the other corporate emails systems used other than Exchange/Outlook but basically you need Desktop Manager to pick up the profile you use for email and you need to be connected.

I understand, friend. I have been there.

When you "mess" with the device, it causes them extra work. It takes time away from them that they would rather spend messing with their devices.

They are allowed to mess with devices; we're not.

Put it back to the old OS an see where it takes you. you may find it will restore without going to IT

Not true. It will not activate just because you load the old OS. The OS you have is fine. You just need to reactivate on the BES. You can do it through the DM as I described if you have remote access to your email system or you can call your BES Admin for an OTA Password. It's not a big deal.

Try doing a backup on your device, then wipe it clean and redo a desktop synchronize while on the company network (connected to your e-mail system. After it re-connects to your messaging system, the activation should run on it's own and reconnect you to the BES.
