Trying To App Unlock

[Guest iceman40]

Hi guys.

I just got my upgrade last week a nice C550. My C500 had served me well and now my friend has it, I wish I did.

I’m not new to windows or smart phones but this is driving me nuts. Anybody had this problem when trying to app unlock?

I registered my IMEI with the Orange database using the link and app below

http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/downl...ter.ARM.cab.exe

Then, at my PC I visited the link below

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

Sure enough, through came the screen I wanted

Then, I tried to sort my screen-res out and, I got a big fat nothing.

“Error, unable to perform this operation”

Then I tried from my C550, a big fat nothing.

“Error, unable to perform this operation”

Have sent a mail to orange for the

Security Certificate Disabling Tool

Sent it on Friday, not heard back.

Anybody got any clues ?

Regards

Shaun

You can try the app-unlock techniques on this thread:

Once you have PHM Registry Editor launched on your phone, it will be easy to modify the 2 registry keys and eventually app-unlock your device. ;)

PHM Registry Editor is on my phone when I use it to sort my screen-res out and, I got a big fat nothing. “Error, unable to perform this operation”

Its NOT unlocked, it cant be.

Then I tried it from my C550, I visit

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

This way I get no messages saying you’re unlocked?

Hi,

I pointed you to a thread which tackles 2 topics: C550 decert and network unlocking.

I just had a hard reset the other night (which re-activates application lock) and I followed the instructions on the thread I gave you to app-unlock (decertify) my C550. Now I have an app-unlocked C550. Haven't used any tool from Orange etc.

Excerpts from the thread (decert part):

To decert (application unlock) the C550, simply change these keys using the attached registry editor (it's the freeware PHM editor signed by HTC):

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 1 (RAPI)

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40 (Cert)

:D

hi...

thanks for the responce.

i changed the keys... thanks for the regEdit, but, i all ready had it :D

the first key was on 1

the second key was on 16, i made it 40 like you said

then

i move on to

HKLM\Drivers\Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsX (Change from 131 - 176)

HKLM\Drivers\Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsY (Change from 131 - 220)

“Error, unable to perform this operation”

reboot

“Error, unable to perform this operation”

so.. at this point i go back to orange at the link below

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

Sure enough, through came the screen I wanted.

Device unlocked

i went back to look at the value of the of

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005

its back on 16 ? change it to 40 like you suggest it makes no diferance,

when i try to change the screen res of LogicalPixelsX and Y and get this

“Error, unable to perform this operation”

if its locked then how can i change the policies keys ?

not sure whats going on

going for coffee and smoke

thanks fot the help

interested in what you say next :D

Hi,

Why modify the LogicalPixels? I thought you were after application unlocking?

Since we are already into that topic...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers is a protected registry section that is why you encountered the 'Unable to perform this operation' error. What I do in cases wherein I want to access protected reg section is to fully unlock the registry first using the SDA Unlocker:

I hope that helps.

http://www.modaco.com/C550_TomTom_FIX-t224265.html

Thanks for that, it worked like a dream.

The apps I am having problems with are

SP Task Manager

And

Smart Explorer (with bluetooth support)

The menus look ok but the little graphical screens are squashed so it looks a bit crap.

Do you have you any suggestions on adjusting the screen resolution?

I tried the one below and everything looked crap :D

HKLM\Drivers\Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsX (Change from 131 - 176)

HKLM\Drivers\Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsY (Change from 131 - 220)

Off to bed soon
