If you want to unlock your Mitac Mio 8380 just follow the link:
[Edit (Paul [MVP]: Link no longer working!] And it WORKS! It's okay to skip the second step in the instructions (you don't have to upgrade the Micro-P Image) |

Can't test it, but I think quite some people would love to kiss the person who made this :wink:
Edit: It contains the files; UUTforCanary.exe & OEM.nb0 ... Doesn't this ring a bell? ... Hacked romz 4 SPV? -------------------- |

I just tested it out. Again flashing rom is dangerous. Use at your own peril. I noticed 2 things in the instructions that were omited. 1) BACKUP you files. 2) Erase IPSM. I didn't erase ipsm on my first 3 tries and it gave a flash write error message at around 22%. Glad I didn't turn off phone then. I merely went to the IPSM menu and erased the IPSM then went back to flashrom menu. I've yet to test any unlocked apps but I can tell you that the phone boots ok after the flashrom.

sounds a bit complicated, not sure I have the huevos to give this a go yet. When you say "dangerous" are you suggesting that an unrecoverable state may be achieved beyond which a hard reset can cure?

Basically if you are worried about using an unknown bit of software...
DONT. If I had a nice shiny phone, and little idea on how to fix it, I would NOT run a program that re-writes the internals. However i've fed multiple rom's onto my spv's and knocked them out of comission for a few heart stopping minutes. I don't have a mio, or else i would be running this app by now... and then posting any problems or issues. I would wait, see how everyone else does, speak to other mio owners, maybe get one on MSN or IRC, and ask them to talk you through the process. There was a quote somewhere, 'that heros die, that's why they are called heros'. Will -------------------- Phones:

Looks like the link has been pulled. I now have a theory that 12 hours after anything about the Mio 8380 hits MoDaCo Mitac locks it down... If they were only as prompt with their customer service.

email it to monolithix so he can put it on his site - you would be doing Mitac users a big favour!

Note that it's not a Mitac site where it was available, and it has still been pulled. I think some heads may roll at Mitac after this.
I did download it before it was pulled, though. -------------------- This months MoDaCo WinMo Week device: the MWg Zinc II! Ask your questions HERE and download the show here! 2.25GB of backup storage online for free with Mozy! - https://mozy.com/?ref=VQ664H |

Thanks. |

Be warned, being responsible for putting this file somewhere would probably not be a good idea.

Why do you think they want to curtail something all mio owners have been looking forward to?

Be aware that there exist a dozen different ROM's for the Mio8380, and you need to match correct ROM to the HW revision of your phone. Failure to do so can render you Mio8380 useless - with known issues like the phone being unable to detect button push...

Sounds like someone from Mitac trying to stir fear into the mind of normal mobilephone users but we owners of mio 8380 and MS Smartphones are 'techbies' and that cannot be so, it's like saying that you cannot install windows on computers with AMD processors

Can the person who posted the very nice/detailed instructions in this thread please email them to me at w4rmk@hotmail.com. Seems as if the instructions were pulled as well.
