This community is expressly for Blackberry 10, Blackberry Playbook, and Blackberry OS enthusiasts. While we welcome legitimate discussion, any slamming of BB10, Playbook, or BBOS users for proposing the resurrection of these devices or OSes or their continued use will be warned and then banned. Please DO NOT post any content related to Blackberry Android devices. Go to Crackberry for that kind of thing; they love it over there.
EDIT 2/7/2022: We may have significant progress on unlocking things due to other users. Stand by folks; this isn't over yet....
I'm thrilled to report we now have a FIX for the device stuck on setup! This was developed first by Blackberry Phoenix, but we are happy to have others spread the word of the fix to the BB10 community. We suggest however that anyone having trouble come directly here to the source, as others may provide inaccurate or misleading information relating to BB10 in general and this fix in particular.
This is a fairly straightforward fix so my apologies to the community for not coming up with it sooner; however, it is tested and confirmed to work with a Blackberry Classic which has used an autoloader from scratch. There should be no trouble for any one using a Classic. I am working on a similar way of getting out to the main screen for folks without a full PKB (Passport/Z10/Z30/Leap etc.).
The steps:
-
Boot up your Classic as normal.
-
Connect to a wireless network.
-
Select "Hotspot Login" at the bottom once connected.
-
Press and hold the "Blackberry" logo you'll see on the screen which says "Your device is now connected to the Internet."
-
Press the End Call/Power button on your device.
-
Your device should exit to the main BB10 home screen with visible apps.
Let us know if you have any trouble! Next up: correcting the sideloading problem....

Q&A
Did you get any solution for Z10 STL100-1?
The Ultimate Fix should work for the 100-1 too. Is it not?
No it's not.
Tx a lot!
what about blackberry q5 and passport model?
Nothing yet as they don't have the same End Call button as the Classic, but we're working on it!
any update regarding Blackberry Passport.
Check the Ultimate Fix post pinned to the top of the sub; all BB10 devices have been able to bypass setup for about a year now.
Is anyone working on the Playbook, or just phones?
We are working on the PlayBook too, as discussed in other posts.
Thank alot ads.
But Q20 when enter the home screen after step 6, it has problem with ring and vibration, no vibration and ringtone......:(
Have you seen the ultimate fix Dazzling? There's an updated version which we'd recommend using now. It's pinned at the top of the subreddit....
But when go to step connect wifi, no thing about BBID, in my case, the Screen Reader said to login BBID, no word "Skip" here. my phone is Classic AT&T.
Thankyou!
Hey Dazzling,
Did you see the updated "Ultimate Fix" post?
https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackberryPhoenix/comments/sw5mcj/ultimate_fix_for_devices_stuck_on_setup_including/
Thanks worked like charm! Is there a way to get rid of the finish setup notification?
Great, glad you're up! If you're referring to the BBID notifications there isn't one I've confirmed works--some people have found success with various other methods. However, you should not be getting a notice to "finish setup," so if you're getting that please let me know where and how you're seeing it and we'll check into it.
Yes it keeps popping up in my BlackBerry Hub with the notification "Complete Setup" when i tap on it i get back in to "Setup" where i have to do the select logo trick. This also happends every 24hours where i have to force restart my device and do the same select logo trick again:(
Um....are you sure you've applied the Ultimate Fix correctly de-Fur? Selecting the logo should not be necessary (and doesn't work on anything not a Classic) and if you've applied the fix it holds even after restart.
still stuck at same error wifi
You need to check the pinned post called the "Ultimate Fix" Infinite--that's the one that works for all BB10 devices.
Is this setup also works for Blackberry Passport? I have one and yes stuck at Wifi Setup. If this is possible, which part is the logo that need to be hold?
Check the pinned post called the "Ultimate Fix" zyx--that one supersedes this and works for all BB10 devices.
YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!
THANK YOU.
I've tried it on my leap but it doesn't seem to work
Where does the fix fail?
Sorry, try the Ultimate Fix....it is pinned to the top of the main sub. This one only works for the Blackberry Classic. The Ultimate Fix however works for all devices.
I went with the voice assistant method, worked first try.
That would be the Ultimate Fix. Glad you got it going.
didn't work
You should use the Ultimate Fix post pinned to the top of the subredddit at this point linuxdude. It has superseded this Classic-only fix.
Blackberry z10?
Look for the Ultimate Fix post which is stickied at the top of the main Blackberry Phoenix sub. It has long since superseded this fix and works for all BB10 devices.
legend
If you think this is legendary check out the Ultimate Fix!
I'm just glad to be able to help BB10 users.
My porsche p9983 does not go from this screen. Pls help
Look for the Ultimate Fix post Far. It's stickied at the top of the subreddit and supersedes this post (this was an early fix that only applies to a specific model of device).
