It is no longer a news that BB 10 unlike Iphones that has "I-cloud", has something called "Anti-Theft" to help wipe or block your device if stolen...
But reverse is the case, maybe not stolen but you forgot your password and wants to bypass it, ease your apprehension For In this brief guide, powered by sleader I’ll be explaining to you how you bypass or remove the Anti-theft protection on your Blackberry 10 device in case you never set such or you forgot your login credentials.
The Anti-theft protection is a security feature which is meant to help you track, block or wipe your Blackberry 10 device if it gets lost or stolen.
Disclaimer! This guide assumes the device in question is not stolen. You are entirely responsible for whatever you do with this piece of information.
With the release of BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.3.2, your privacy and security are further enhanced with the introduction of Anti-Theft Protection within BlackBerry Protect.It was said you cant downgrade to 10.3.1 but i was able to discover Q10 10.3.1 that support all bb10 model with 10.3.2.2639 to downgrade.
Provided you have confirmed your BlackBerry ID, Anti-Theft Protection associates your BlackBerry ID with your device, and provides you with the ability to disable your device using a new Flag as Stolen option.
When used, Flag as Stolen will erase your device memory and disable your device, unless the BlackBerry ID which was used to setup the device originally with Anti-Theft Protection, is entered on the device.
In other words, unless your device is returned to you, no one else will be able to setup the device again since they do not know your BlackBerry ID credentials.

Deletei downloaded the q10 autoloader in google drive this evening. unfortunately it is not opening. What could be the issue?
ReplyDeletewhen you say not opening...does it bounce back when u open? if yes! which windows are you using?... try restarting your system or try in another system thanks

ReplyDeletenice one...Enjoy
DeleteDear sir, does blackberry classic firmware same as z30? the file in blackberry classic link is shown z30 firmware, thanks
ReplyDeleteyes sir...same firmware works for both device...
DeleteTheftLock reappears after i flasch Z10 10.3.2.2876 STL100-2/3/4 - even if i setup an account while Q10 10.3.1 is installed. Anyway to get back to the original and latest Firmware after the Q10 Flash?
ReplyDeleteFlash with your original firmware and re flash with the downloaded anti-theft firmware
DeleteHi Stephen,
Deletethanks for the info. I already did that step as following:
1. Flashd with original FW
2. Flashd with Q10 FW >Theft Lock gone
3. Reflash/Update to latest original FW via Autoloader from your link or OnlineUpdate via WIFI >Theft Lock reappears
Am I missing somethig out here? Or am I not able to upgrade to the original, latest FW for the TheftLock to stay removed aka. The Q10 FW in this Version will be the Last FW the Z10 will ever see again?
something close to that is what it seems,....there is another method of the clean unlock where you can now upgrade to latest version when ever u want to,...but for now reflashing your original autoloader will make the anti-theft re-appear...
DeleteI just am Stucked in BLackberry screen
Deleteis it as regard to the STL1? if yes then follow the below link... if otherwise let me know on which phone ...Thanks
DeleteHello, I am too stuck at the lock after the last step. It seems that the latest upgrade "Z10_10.3.02.2876_STL100-2-3.exe" triggers again the lock.
Deletesince its optional why not just forget flashing you original autoloader
DeleteHi Stephen,
Deleteyou wrote "something close to that is what it seems,....there is another method of the clean unlock where you can now upgrade to latest version when ever u want to,...but for now reflashing your original autoloader will make the anti-theft re-appear... " - how does this other method work? Any details out there?
Thanks in advance
yes there is!!! hopefully by next week i will be making a post as regards to that... so stay Glued and invite your friends thanks for coming By..

Deletei flashed anti theft file but it stuck on blackberry logo.. like stl100-1 flashed with q10 file..
Deleteany solution?
reflash with your original firmware then flash again with the anti theft file and stop at step 2
DeleteI have been using Blackberry z10 since March-2015.To avoid automatic background working and draining the battery by BBM i deleted the BB-ID.Few day ago i upgraded my BlackBerry z10 to new version OS 10.3.2. and then i tried to sign in to Blackberry ID through my phone but it says"You can't sign in with a different Blackberry ID on this device. Sign in with the original Blackberry ID used on this device". For creating a new BB-ID i wiped my phone using Blackberry Link, However i didn't turn protect blackberry off.Now i stuck at enter BlackBerry Id. When i typed my Id username i used before on my BlackBerry ,it feedback" Please sign in with the BlackBerry id that was used to set up this device " . so kindly suggest me a solution
ReplyDeletewhat possibly could be the problem is that you might have forgotten the id or password you used...{remember Case sensitive} but if u are sure of the email then you can use password recovery option so you can get a new password...or better still you can download the anti theft file remove so you can bypass the activation screen...thanks
Deletei used the download 1(Q10 auto loader) directly for flashing...then..only red light flashing,what can i do
Deletetry using your original firmware first then flash again with the anti theft file
Deleteis it possible to update my phone after Q10 auto loader flashing, i tried the original firmware ,but it reappears anti-theft sign in ;phone says update available...what can i do..
Deleteits possible to update... but you will have to use wifi
DeleteThe anti-locking works like a charm. But when unlocked, I cannot upgrade to the latest OS OTA or through BB Link. When I use autoloader to upgrade to latest version, the anti-theft feature pops up again. Please help. I cannot use Amazon app store and other android apps.
ReplyDeletewhat error dod u get when u try updating with wifi
Deletehai bro, i accidentally entered a wrong when i was trying to change to my new email i typed in a wrong number at the end and unfortunately for me the email exists, so i wiped and updated it but the problem still came back saying i need to enter the email that the device was registered with when i put my old one it still says the same thing, do i need to flash my phone or there is something else i can do? i doubt the email has been confirmed and it has already been a week
ReplyDeleteuse the anti theft file and flash it...thanks
Deletehi sir i have flashd z10 with sevrel frimwares bt anti thieft lock still on any solution
ReplyDeleteTried to update Q10 autoloader to OS 10.3.2.2836 over wi-fi but installation stucked at 97%, dear friend what..next
