This document provides instructions for finding serial numbers for BlackBerry applications using a BlackBerry simulator and the WinHex debugger program. It describes downloading the necessary software, running the simulator to load an app, and using WinHex to search the simulator's RAM for the serial number string. Common locations and identifying strings near serial numbers are listed to help with searching. A disclaimer advises that cracking software is illegal and developers should be supported by purchasing apps legally.

1. Hacking BlackBerry Apps for Dummies - “How to find Serials using WinHex “
Tools Needed :
1. Blackberry device simulator from:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/resources/simulators.jsp - you need to register
2. WinHex debugger http://winhex.en.softonic.com/
3. dmpclean.bat
After installing all the needed applications go to the simulator directory and copy the dmpclean.bat in
the Simulator directory. Then create a shortcut for dmpclean.com and the Simulator batch file to your
desktop for easy access.
Example: My File location C:Program Files (x86)Research In MotionBlackBerry Smartphone
Simulators 4.6.04.6.0.162 (9000-Rogers)
Shortcuts I will copy to desktop are 9000-Rogers.bat and dmpclean.bat
Once this is done go to desktop and locate the files, one again mine will be 9000-Rogers.bat
Open the file by right clicking on your mouse and them clicking on EDIT
The file will contain the following:
@echo off
fledge.exe /title="Blackberry 9000 Simulator -Rogers" /app=Jvm.dll /handheld=9000 /session=9000 /app-
param=DisableRegistration /app-param=JvmAlxConfigFile:9000-Rogers.xml /data-port=0x4d44 /data-
port=0x4d4e /pin=0x12345678
You now need to change the /pin=0x12345678 to your own PIN, press and hold Atl H on your blackberry
to get your PIN THEN CHANGE /pin=0x(YOUR-PIN)
I will be using 21383c9c for testing purposes, but you can use your own
SAVE THE BATCH FILE AND SAVE IT and EXIT

2. Next open the Simulator you downloaded and installed and follow the steps:
Step 1.
Step 2.

3. Step 3.

4. Step 4.

5. After you completed the steps above the application you are trying to crack will be loaded into the
simulator.
Now navigate to the application within the Simulator as if it were your handheld and open the
application.

6. The Next Step is to open WINHEX
Then you Need to View and put a checkmark in Text Display Only

7. Next Either press Alt-F9 or go to Tool and Select Open RAM
This little box opens up

8. Once you Find Fledge
This window will pop up... Now go back to the Simulator

9. Once Window Opens go back to the Simulator and Enter a Random license key that you will remember,
do not use 123456, in this case we will use 51573 the scroll to submit and ok you will see this screen

10. Go Back to WinHex and press Ctrl-F a search box will appear Enter the Fake key you entered in the
Simulator
Next you will see this:

11. Since we did not find the string Needed we Press F3 and look for it again, in this case we found it in the
second try, but this is not always the case.

12. We now have the serial, so we can test it in the Simulator. I enter the code I found and... we are
registered.

13. Every time you need to look for a code run the Clean.bat file or what ever it’s called to reset the
Simulator.
Extra notes:
The Real Serial can be found at different locations:
 Close to the fake serial
 Close to the PIN in Hexadecimal (when you press Alt-H on your handheld
 Close to the PIN in Decimal format that you’ve converted using Windows calculator in Advanced
mode
 At times the serial can be at the beginning of a long repetitive string. 147852369000 the code
can be 14785, you will need to play around in order to find it.
Now for the Code Made Easy. Below you’ll strings that always show up close to the Real serial.
In this case when looking in the Memory MAP you can enter a string that I’ve posted in the Ctrl-B option
and the serial will be close by. When you can’t find a serial try using an older version app since the
serials for the updates are usually the same.
Vorino Clock v1.0.2.3 “vorino.clock.RegistrationMainScreen”
BerryBuzz 1.0.25 “You have 7 days left in your BerryBuzz trial”
PhoneBAK for BlackBerry v2.0 “Unlock key”

SmartLight v1.0 “Ðseven021”
BBprofile Scheduler “Checking device id”
Aerize Explorer v.1.0.1 “Ivalid Serial Number”
Aerize Optimizer v1.0.2 “_dialog_information.png@”
Aerize Alerts v1.1.1 “_dialog_information.png@”
MindBerry v1.2.0 “The code you entered is invalid”
WIFI File Transfer In the old Version “1730032269138898” New Ver. Will use the same serial

14. Now after all said and done, hacking any software is illegal and there can and probably will be legal
consequences, I do not encourage or endorse this at all. Developers work hard to make these
programs and by not purchasing the software you are taking food off their table. This tutorial is
strictly for testing purposes and of course Fun only.
If you like the software please purchase it, they are not expensive and most of the time they are
worth much more then they charge. You will also be able to get full support from the developers.
Some applications can crash your device due to bugs in the code and you will have absolutely no
support from anyone unless you have purchased it.
Good Luck! Have Fun! Keep Testing!
