This is Great Now I have a unlocked phone with no hassle (unlike the hassle I was getting before)

Thanks for the great info guys

I'm getting the same as jason8

Don't seem to be able to relock my phone...

[spacemonkey]

OMG Orange has done the right thing... and just in time for the release of the SPV in the UK as well!!!

So, unlocked through this mechanism works fine with everything else, so a phone unlocked through here is completely useable?  I like the facility to re-lock my phone when I've finished developing, I always find myself thinking, "I wish my phone was locked, cos I'm not gonna be developing for another 12 hours"...  :twisted:

[Matt Whitfield]

Blinding, worked like a dream!  

[rossy]

Is it ok if you do the unlock after you have already decertified using the old method?
Hope it is.... cos ive just done it! Seems to be ok, but just want to make sure.
Guess this means that when we get the April ROM update, we won't have to worry about a Denmark like no unlock issue.

Cheers Orange!

[superkingdave]

not sure about the fact that orange will know that i am unlocked im not developing anything i just use nes and  stuff... doesnt matter too much at the moment as i am unlocked already at the moment

[Monolithix]

Or the keyboard ROM update

Still cant relock my phone though...

And they still quote the clock speed of the CPU as 132mhz....

i have an spv that has been locked by orange preventing incoming and outgoing calls, i got it cheap and that was the downfall, fill this link unlock this problem, i know it has something to do with my imei number i think

also becasue i bought it i don't know whether it will be able to send that little bit of data they talk about because it doesn't have a contract sim, i do however have an orange pay as you go sim if that helps

can anyone explain to me what i have to do and if this will work, thanks

If its been disabled by ORange its probably stolen, if that is the case theres nothing you can do i'm afraid

[PaulOBrien]

You mean you have a stolen phone I think bigals!

[bigals]

ain't got a clue, all i know is it don't work, i've unlocked it to all networks

but it still won't send or receive calls, it not broken  or damaged,

is there any kinda program floating around that might be able to remove this lock?

[midnight]

i wonder how many so-called 'developers' will crawl out of the woodwork :wink:

hope o arent monitoring the hits cos they could take this down rather quickly if they suddenly realise why 40,000 are unlocking their phones

[Monolithix]

Nope, and attempting to do so is illegal i'm afraid.

Looks like you've been had

[Monolithix]

Hehe

Their only referral url is going to be MoDaCo ;p

[bigals]

oh well s*** happens! haha never mind, its a good organiser though hehe

if i go to orange will they do anything to help or just think im a robber, oh mental note don't where black and white stripey top no more!

[jason8]

got it working Windows always needs a restart to get it working properly again!

bigals, your phone is barred by orange and all other UK networks.
This unlocking method is used to remove certification only, it doesnt mean that you can unblock your phone.

Also you wont be able to do this unless you have a contract sim because even if you have GPRS enabled on your PAYG sim, you still wont be able to access internet sites from it only WAP. Sorry!!!

[wirefree90]

This unlock/lock process is to support the developer community develop apps for Smartphone.  It does not remove the IMEI simlock or remove stolen handsets from the Blacklist register.

[Monolithix]

Orange won't do anything.  It's stolen and has been reported, i think you're "obliged" to turn it into the police....
