Guest ospre Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Just seen the facility at http://www.developers.orange.co.uk/ where you can Application Unlock your phone. Just wondering if anybody has tried this with an SPV E200 and found any issues with it. Couple of queries if anybody has tried it 1) Do you need to do a Hard Reset at all? 2) Does it cause any warranty incvalidations etc? Thanks, Nick.

Guest kelv23 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I think I'm right in saying that the E200 isn't application locked,when you run a 3rd party program it asks if you want to trust the program or words to that effect.I know some people do go through the unlock process though. You shouldn't have to do a hard reset,if you did it would just reset the phone to the state it left the factory in. On the warranty I haven't got a clue maybe someone else knows about that.

Guest Baddass Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 the SPV 200 isnt FULLY unlocked by default, although it gives u warnings, some stuff wont install u used to be able to either unlock it over the air with orange or with an application, btu now after the update the over the air is the only way that works atm. i did it on sat after the rom update and it was easy, quick and worked fine........think there are disclaimers on the website about when u can use it and prob some info about warranty, dont think it should invalidate it tho really........ it works fine, and def works on the E200 no problem........

Guest Roland Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Ditto on the OTA, though it took it's sweet time getting to me. Besides not being able to install certain reg-locked apps, the phone also doesn't give you access to certain files on the device, i.e. the *.provxml files, etc. Since I got tired of doing the GUI settings thing I've converted to using xml files and rapiconfig to rebuild...

Guest Disco Stu Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 This is the link I thought we were using.... http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/comdef.aspx This was working for the E200 before the upgrade so I assume it's still the one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pagemakers Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 I can confirm the app unlock will fully unlock your e200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roland Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 But does it work with the updated ROM and changed security? I've gone to both the UK unlock pages and had no success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pagemakers Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 I have unlocked 2 different updated E200's from this site in about 5 minutes with no problems at all. http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/comdefq.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nickcornaglia Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 I did unlock my e200 before the update. It's either Orange is blocking requests from the US or there is some sort of problem. I doubt it's something to do with the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pagemakers Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 If you unlock, then update, you will normally loose the unlock and you will need to unlock again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nickcornaglia Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 I know that. I'm saying I was able to unlock before the update. Now that I have updated and the phone was relocked...I am unable to unlock via Orange's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
