HELP. I can't install anything on SPV E650

[Guest paholman]

Got the SPV E650 yesterday.

Trying to install cabs in the Paul's must have topic, but cannot install anything.

Firstly, RemoveSecurity.CAB.

After selecting Phone or Storage card, I get the Spinning Windows Wheel, then it hangs.

I've tried Sprite Backup, same thing

I tried SDA Unlocker.exe, which said it worked, but any registry changes I try, I get Access Denied

Any cab file won't work.

I tried a hard reset, same problem.

I'm waiting for http://spvunlock.rd.francetelecom.com/ mail with the unlocking tool too, but I'm afraid they may not send it as the phone no is PAYG.

Could the phone be locked to Contract SIM;s only?

Could the install problems because the phone is a contract phone, but I'm using a PAYG sim in it?

Please help anyone?

Took my storage card out, installed the unlock from http://spvunlock.rd.francetelecom.com/, unplugged USB, so no ActiveSync occuring, and unlock tool worked.

I have managed to successfully install Sprite onto phone (With no storage card).

Trying with Storage card in now

I can't install anything if the Storage Card is in. It just hangs. (tried the free 128MB and a 1GB Card)

also reformated the 128MB card as FAT, but still no luck, even if I select Device to install to.

Works fine without any card.

Faulty phone?

Hi, did you manage to fix this?

I recently got a 1GB microSD and noticed i cant install .cab´s anymore...programs that are installed on windows manage to install no problem!

maybe that is a way around it?

but i have no idea how to install a program via AS if it comes in a .cab file....anyone know how??

cheers

Normally you would transfer the cab file to your phone and run it there - see the links in my sig for installation instructions for the various file types.

However Paul (MVP) has given us this tool to install can files directly from your PC :

Also, check this thread for the discussion on the 'spinnig wheel' problem ;

It's not really a problem, just an annoyance :)

You could just install Paul's fix (and while you're at it, if you want, remove that awful orange branding)
