Guest jrinco11 Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I just bought a new c550 off ebay, and I'm in the US -- I can't get passed the "carrier lock" screen, or if i take out my sim i can't get by the "invalid sim" screen -- so I can't install the .cab file -- any other way to get past this?

Guest hari-bhari Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I have tried anything and everything I could find here on the site but I cannot seem to get my c550 unlocked for use with t-mobile usa. Without the simcard in, it says 'invalid or missing sim', and when i put the card in, it asks for the unlock code. what to do?? please help!

Guest Cakeman Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I just paid £1.95 at this site: http://www.m-99.co.uk/Mobile_Phone_Unlocki...orange_spv.html For what was described as: "A PD download to unlock the Orange SPV C500 and C550 in seconds. All that is required is the original USB cable that came with the phone and ActiveSync (Free for download from Microsoft.com). Your download link will be available INSTANTLY following your order being placed (via a download link). The software is fully compatible with Windows 95 / 98 / ME / 2000 / XP and XP Pro." Surprise surprise, it turned out to be a link to this excellend forum! I wish I'd just donated the money to you guys, do you have any connection with that site? If not, should I ask for a refund?

Guest Austin519 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Hell yes you should. What they're doing is illegal (called "passing off"), especially if they're in the UK. I'd do more than get a refund...I'd report them.

Guest Jacksons Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Thanks to some invaluable efforts from itsme, and anonymous, our SPV C500 unlocking tool is now in alpha :) There are, however, some limitations, which we are working to resolve:Your phone must be an Orange C500. Do NOT run this on an AudioVox phone or ROM. Ignoring this may result in your phone becomming unusable till we add AudioVox compatibility.Your phone must be application unlocked, and have our cert.cab file installed. This file should be included with the SPV-Services package. We realise this is a big limitation, again it's something we are working around.Additionally, SPV-Developers or it's admins will not be held responsible for any problems caused by this tool. However, all changes made are 100% reversible, and we will do are best to help should anything unexpected happen. To try this service, you will need to download the SPV-Services Client. The file cert.cab needs to be copied to your phone and executed. After this, run the SPV-Services.exe, and have fun :D If you try it, please post your feedback. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi, I have application unlocked the c550 and installed the cert.cab successfully but when opening the spvservices.exe file, the application opens and is blank.There is nothing in the menus and i do not get a screen like the one you show.Help please!?!?

Guest Griff_FFOC Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) Has anyone tried this on the C600? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It Worked on the one we tried. At least it ran, picked up the current setting and said it changed it ok. Haven't physically tried a sim yet, but had no problems with it. A quick question, does this survive a hard rest. I have checked all 20+ pages of this thread and no-ones asked (that I could see) so far. I'd expect it will but just want to check before I hard reset my C500 to pass to my g/f on a different network.

Guest razzler Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Hello, Does anyone know if this app works on Windows XP PRO 64-Bit???

Guest hunyango_uk Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) How do you install cert.cab on your phone? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> copy the file from your pc to your phone using activesync then use your file explorer on your phone, find the file and just select that file. it will surely run ;) Edited January 16, 2006 by hunyango_uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chorlie Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) Hi, Just unlocked my old C500 thanks for the free software and info. Does anyone know how to unlock a T-Mobile SDA II (is it the same as a C550?) If this software can unlock it how do you first disable the security certificate since its locked to the T-Mobile network (and not Orange like my old C500). Thanks for any advice Chorlie I've now unlocked 2 C500 & 2 SDA II (T-Mobile) & I've got a C600 to do. Great bit of software.
