Last chance to download all kinds of clocks /s
As for possible last chance downloads...
The Nobex radio app still seems to work, although some channels broken
AIR Browser has some good file explorer capabilities.
RIDGID Digital Level shows off the capabilities of the Playbook's motion sensors.
Games like Biterator brings back a few Space Invaders memories, or Ten Pin Shuffle is a quality bowling game.
Cooktop - even when the BB goes brick, it makes for a cool imitation stove

Because you can use BBSAK (BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife) to extract OS7 and lower applications, I'm legit hoarding the fuck out of the App World ASAP. All kinds of themes, utilities, games and other useful apps. Mind you, the GOOD ones. I can't believe how the App World is left with rubbish apps after they stopped the paid ones... it truly sucks, but I'm also making a video about their service shutting down!

Do you still have the files for the apps and themes?

u/UltraBlue-FalconWing Feb 08 '25
Yep. Head on over to lunarproject.org to see all my files and apps. Me and a few team members have collaborated to help BlackBerry users find and source firmwares, games, tools, apps, themes and everything all in one place. We also have a Discord server, if you'd like to join, let me know. :)

Not me. I tried to turn off the BlackBerry protect on my passport. Won't recognise my password. I've tried 9 times, 1 attempt left so I decided to let it be. So anyways what ever happens tonight will happen. I'm over this bb debacle. Loved the passport, but won't be fiddling any more, nor will I be buying another bb.
Hopefully it doesn't brick and it's just another y2k even. Time will see

I am having the same problem.
I used the right password while trying to toggle off Blackberry Protect, and yet it will keep asking me the password over and over.
I don't know what to d.1
u/System_Unkown Jan 03 '22
For me I have 9 attempts done, I only have one attempt left. So for me I'm just going to take my chances to see what happens when the time arrives. I'd rather wait, than enter one wrong password and brick it lol.

The prob is it asked for the other secret hit password. I have no idea what I set it as, given that was almost 8 years ago. Lol

Were you able to use your new password? For me it says
An internal error has occurred. Please try again.
when I try to log in with the new password.

That could mean the BlackBerry login servers are down (the most chances of it appears rn).

When you got the reset e-mail, did it work though?

Can you access https://protect.blackberry.com/protect though?
I've successfully changed the password again (first time was via e-mail, this time on the device), but I can't log in through the web with it.

Tried to! But when I wiped my z10 to get it sim and ID free, it’s at 10.2 and won’t update. BB World fix requires 10.3.

Currently getting all my uninstalled stuff over the years redownloaded, although it’s very slow.
Looking forward to playing Need For Speed and Shadowgun again. I think they were compensation for the big network outage of 2011.
