Sorry to be an idiot but I'm trying to locate the C500 sim unlock software but cant locate the link.

Can you help?

[pd.ryder]

Try HERE

It should do the trick for you

I searched All Forums for "unlock" and 3 separate topics were in the results. I hope it helps.

This wont sim unlock the phone. this is only an application unlock tutorial

[pd.ryder]

I beg to differ....

If you read the .pdf file the tutorial initially decerts (app unlock) the phone and then SIM-unlock's it too

Fair enough, but would you mind bringing the posted image with it? Otherwise my post above makes no sense whatsoever. Thanks

Oh dear - that seems to be a bug with the thread-moving thing. I doubt that we will be able to find it now and I have no idea how it could have been lost.
Are you able to edit your post and re-attach the image ?
I'll inform our technical team  

EDIT : we cannot replicate the error and your original image was not located on the database. Will keep an eye out in case it happens again but not much we can do. Sorry mate

I've tried changing the registry as mentioned in this and other tutorials. However I'm still not allowed to install non certified programs on my C500. Is this because I've upgraded the ROM on it?

[Disco Stu]

Yes - you will need to do the unlocking procedure again

Well I've done the unlocking procedure and I've checked the registry items are properly changed, and soft resetted the C500 - but still no joy - it wont let me install TCMP

Which ROM have you upgraded to ?
Can you not use the Orange method ?

It's the latest ROM on the orange website.

Don't you have to be a 'developer' to ask orange to unlock the phone for applications?

Nope, you don't need to be a 'member' to ask for help. Just email [email protected] including your IMEI no (*#06# on phone and up pops IMEI), your name and mobile no. They'll send you a little app to install which lets you choose your level of security.

Thanks - have done this.

I'm astonished to find that the new MS Pocket Streets' isn't signed and I wont be able to install it until I have installed the decertification app.
