NEW MOTOROLA MPX200 UK ON O2 UNLOCK

[Guest kensimoto]

Hi, i dont think or cant find an answer to this. So i apoligise if this has be posted already. :oops:

Just bought a motorola mpx200 for carphone warehouse on o2, in the uk.

I have tried to place some unsigned apps on it, but they just come up with "this is not a valid windows ce app".

(pocketsnes and homeskins for example) :roll:

I know there is a sticky rearding unlocking a Orange motorola in the uk but it states if you are on another network you dont need to decert.

does anyone know how to get unsigned apps to run on O2 UK NETWORK

thanks in adv

You can still use the OTA Link. Click on the words OTA for instructions.

[Guest kensimoto]

i cant find the o2 decert ota link pleas help.

cant see what im doing wrong. :x

[Guest squall]

hmm the word links arent working again.

see http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/comdef.aspx

[Guest kensimoto]

Thanks alot. :D

but will this work with the O2 network and is this the only way. what about alpha flux cab file unlock. or dont you think that will work on a new mpx200.

[Guest kensimoto]

Squall do you know how to put in a uk mobile number into this site (Orange spv unlock) is it +44... then you mobile num minus the 0 at the start.

for example +447895326542

or am i wrong.

[Guest squall]

I told you in the pm it would work on o2 :D

telephone in form +44797 (as per site instructions)

[Guest kensimoto]

The site said it would send me a link.

But using my gprs connection i cant go to the link.

is my s*** O2 network to blame. :evil: :evil: :evil:

[Guest squall]

put the phone in the cradle then connect to the internet using the pc's internet connection

you may need to select automatic in data connections in the settings menu

[Guest kensimoto]

can you belive o2 phones from carphone ware house dont come with cradles just usb leads.

god! :twisted:

o2 and motorola uk dont even know what im talking about, i asked them is there a way of unlocking the phone and the just say they dont know what im talking about. i state i can not put a new app on my phone and they act as if im speaking alien. :shock: :evil:

Has any body else bought a phone from Carphone warehouse on O2 lately (mines only two weeks old) and unlocked the phone to execpt new apps.

thanks squall for you help so far.

i cant understand why my imei isnt in the data base. do they stock all imei numbers or just orange...

[Guest squall]

like i said they have most imei's including phones sold abroad on different carriers.

you said it was sending the message, how did you get it to do that if your imei is not valid?

[Guest kensimoto]

On the site it only asks for you mobile number, to send the sms.

it doenst ask for you imei to send the message. :D

[Guest squall]

:shock:

er yes it does!

Name

email address

phone number +44797...

imei 446.............001

:roll:

try entering all the info its asking for :D

(remember you are unlocking!)

[Guest kensimoto]

sorry i dont mean that screen.

after i have sent all my info. it comes back with" sorry that imei does not appear on our database please try the follwing options"

so i click send sms to my phone by entering my mobile number.

i do.

they send a link.

i can not get to the link. prob cus of my crap o2 gprs.

another way is to send a file to your pc.

so i though i would email it as an attachment to my o2 account but it does not download attachments to the phone.........

how weak is that :evil:

You can opt for the Action Register application to be downloaded on your PC and not the phone.

You also have to make sure GPRS is enabled on your account before you can use it.

I did not realise carphonewarehouse was selling the MPX200 on O2

Thought I would look on their site and it's only slightly out of date :D

The MPX200 has an offer that expires 30th December 2003. Nice to see

an uptodate site :roll:

[Guest Chaser81]

Apparently the O2 store are selling them for £69.99 now on Pay As You Go as well.....

[Guest kensimoto]

you are so right..

i went on their site that must be run by chimps..

it is so old! :D

so on christmas eve i bumps into a friend of mine and asks where he got his smart phone.

£70 quid at carphone warehouse.

i rushed over there and they had 2 left not bad for £70 quid.

just gutted its on o2.

they know sh*t about smartphones.. :D :P

[Guest kensimoto]

I wonder if anyone else has bought one and unlocked it. :roll:

maybe they could let us other uk motorola guys know how.

[Guest kensimoto]

Went home last night and tried every site/method i know to unlock the phone.

i think i have won! 8)

thank you guys for your advice.

i will let it run for a few days to see if its ok..

:D

[Guest hecatae]

Bought one, found the 2003 os by googling for it.

is it locked to o2, nothing to stop me throwing my orange 3g sim in the phone and using some of my free 50mb gprs to decert it?

[Guest squall]

if you are asking if the mpx200 with 2003 is not sim locked by default the answer is no, you still need to unlock the phone using www.imei-check.co.uk

[Guest hecatae]

why do i need to use www.imei-check.co.uk ?

the phone is simfree bought from cpw with an o2 payg sim, and currently is quite happy on virgin mobile. it's not locked to any network.

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

There is a chance it will be locked to O2 but I have not heard many

reports about the O2 version to wether it is SIM locked or not.

To decert the phone though you do not need an Orange SIM as you can use passthrough.

As you have used the dodgy 2003 ROM the phone should be application unlocked already.

[Guest hecatae]

The cpw supplied mpx200 is not locked to any network. Yeah I upgraded to the 2003 os last night. Nice to hear i dont have to decert the phone.
