I could post a tweaked CAB, wonder if they'd mind?

PS GPS supports as long as your GPS is set up correctly for the GPS intermediary driver (the GPS settings applet).

I used Patched_RUU.exe to get Typhoon DV/PVT ROM on the device and then that error will go away.

Yes, the phone must be unlocked first.

After pressing '0', how long did you leave the phone to boot up ? it can take several minutes after a hard reset.

If your getting the ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDOR ID!! message then your phone isn't CID unlocked.
OR if the above didnt work

1. Find and download a version of Typhoonnbftools
2. Download and install WinRAR (if you havent already)
3. Right click on the ROMUpdateUtility you downloaded and want to flash (the big 34mb installer exe) and extract its contents somewhere.
4. Open Typhoonnbftools and open nk.nbf in the folder where you extracted the contents of the installer
5. Go to Tools>Edit Header Data
6. Erase everything in the 'Operator' field
7. Save your nbf over the top of the original
8. Run the rom update utility again

Hope this helps. Unfortunately I haven't gotten round to writing more guides for your viewing pleasure due to the large ammount of college work i have been presented with over the last few months.

There are a few things you can do, its depends whats actually happened to it tho...

Either the OS is completely buggered so you'll need to reflash an entire ROM (see my ROM compatibility guide in the smartphone information section HERE) The imate ROM is not a bad ROM to use, i quite like it

Another possiblity is that the bootloader fails to recongise the OS properly, in which case you can try the following:

disable USB connections in the connection settings in active sync
put your phone into bootloader (turn off, hold camera and plug into the USB)
open mtty.exe (attached)
type the command:


note you must TYPE this, otherwise you will get errors from mtty

Good luck

Does anyone have a rom that can be loaded to an SD card so that i can get my phone back up and running?

Hi,
I'm one of the developers of this product. We currently search for this failure. In most cases a not fully unlocked E200 is the problem. Next version will have an info screen that will show that the E200 is not fully unlocked.
This will solve 99% of all problems with our product.

(1)  Introduction

Over at the SPV-Developers' Board thread on unlocking the Audiovox SMT5600, Cyberdim offered up advice on how to unlock the Audiovox SMT5600 using the SPV-Developers' free C500/C550 SIMLock Toggling (FREE) tool.  While Modaco previously had a post on the Free SIM unlock for the SPV C500 from SPVdevelopers.com, it didn't really do much for those of us in the states.

I haven't actually tried Cyberdim's advice on my own phone yet, but did follow up with a list of links to the files he suggested.  My general impression right now is that the SMT5600 is actually application-locked, but merely a different type.  I'll discuss this later, after going through the juicy parts.

Without any more ado...
(2)  Cyberdim's Advice:

It is worth noting that this is not targeted at the Typhoon (Audiovox SMT 5600 / Orange c500 / etc) model, but it wouldn't surprise me if it still works.

Another version can be found on a post at pdamobiz.com,  D/L SmartPhone Program ( http://www.pdamobiz.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19034 ).  This site also seems outdated and legit.  I haven't downloaded it, however, and don't know whether it contains the same zipped files.
(4)  resetsecurity.zip

I found two downloads for this, each a bit different.  It should be noted that neither contained a manual.

  {i}  Modaco -> How do you set up hotmail on the phone??

This file contains ResetSecurity.exe, a 4 KB executable.  No manual is included.

I have no clue whether it actually works.  The post explains a little bit about how it works, and apparently some found the results satisfactory.

  {ii}  Motorola MPx220 and Audiovox SMT6500 "app locked"?

This file contains CheckLock.exe (4 KB), RapiConfig.exe (49 KB), and ResetSecurity.xml (1 KB).  No manual is included, but most of the post  itself is fairly informative.

I have only tried the CheckLock.exe program, which did work (results below).  Y'all are free to try the rest of them and let us know how they work.

I have no idea if there is any significant difference between these two downloads, but my instinct is that there isn't.
(5)  Questions

I trust that these will work, and am looking forward to trying them once I get a replacement dust-free phone.  However, I am not sure if there is a major difference between the two.  From the Modaco posts and the No Warez manual, both programs seemed geared towards app-unlocking smartphones.  What I don't know is:

  {i}  How are they different?
  {ii}  How does No Warez.exe work?
  {iii}  Are both needed, or is it redundant?

Not the most pressing questions, if - as Cyberdim claims - used together they get the job done.  Just questions that could yield other insights.
(6)  Inferences/Insights

I tried CheckLock.exe, and it informed me that my phone (which uses the AT&T ROM) is application locked.  I am quickly coming to the conclusion that the SMT500 is locked, although in a slightly different way.  I've had a fairly long thread with pzee, and am starting to think that this could purely be the result of some "special" application lock that applies only to the Audiovox SMT5600.  I am curious whether an application locked c500 user is able to use SPV-Developers' tool and/or delete 'system' files using their computer.
(7)  Testing

I strongly encourage everybody who plays with these to post their results.  Even if this doesn't work, we can spend a little time hacking away at solving this

And, of course, there are plenty of other methods of application unlocking phones (I think).  For example, pzee posted about how he created an explanatory image.

Feel free to post anything you know that works on the SMT5600.  SIM Unlocking or exploring how the SMT5600 is application locked (or not).  Better yet, take the opportunity to go all theoretical.
That's all, and kudos to Cyberdim for giving we Yankees some hope.

After these are installed and you have restarted your phone...
drop all of the files in the zip into your "Application Data/Home" directory. (Just the JPGs, BMPs, and XML file...not the PSD Photoshop file).
Then goto Settings/Home...choose the homescreen, and you're done.
