Guest rellym Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 the whole process works fine. the problem is, when i insert other network SIM, it doesn't ask for the unlock code, it just says "Invalid SIM". my ROM ver. is 1.6 and the bootloader ver. 1.07 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest teptep Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 the whole process works fine. the problem is, when i insert other network SIM, it doesn't ask for the unlock code, it just says "Invalid SIM". my ROM ver. is 1.6 and the bootloader ver. 1.07 SAP ROMs are programmed to lock your phone to SMART's network. The unlock code you obtained is useless unless you install other ROMS such as those from Qtek, Imate and maybe Orange. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest rellym Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 oh i see... a big thanks to you! can you help me find those ROMs? or any links? what can you recommend the most compatible ROM for my SPV? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest teptep Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 You may try the search function. I believe there are already threads discussing the merits of any of these ROMs. I've tried QTEK with my SAP and found it to be stable. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ratty1968 Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Hi just bought a second hand spv and want to use it on O2 to keep my old number. The phone has been updated already to v1.6, i have just run the SPVunlock2.0.exe and retrieved the code, can someone pls let me know what i do with this now. At present the phone does not recognise either the orange sim or the O2 one. :) All the best RATTY Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Pagemakers Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 When you put the non-Orange sim in the phone it should ask you for that code. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Pagemakers Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Turn aeroplane mode off. Press the power button (momentarily) then select from the menu to turn that mode off. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NikLP Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Ok... Which bit of the ROM update versions info is the important bit? I know I don't have v1.6 cos none of them say that :) Can I update somehow? And does this unlock app have to be installed from PC or SPV? TIA Nik Link to post Share on other sites
Guest (8xspeed) Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 ok i already have code. so what's next? im using a SAP w/ rom 1.7. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bingbong Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Ik unlocked my SPV with canary v1.00 succesfull !!! So a question came to me: Does the Network lock depands on the ROM or the Canary, or is this the same? WBR, Link to post Share on other sites

Guest adeyw Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I have Bootloader V1.10 and upgraded to the 1.6 Rom. The Unlock program gives me a code but after inserting an o2 sim fails when I type the unlock code in. "Invalid password", 2 attempts left. I have also tried to downgrade to V1.35 ROM with Bootloader V0.98 however the phone just sticks on the Orange Banner on Power Up it doesn't even look for a SIM Card. Anybody else experience the same problem ? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Arisme Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Enter your PIN code, not the unlock code. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bingbong Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I also get 'Invalid Password' after put on the phone. Just wait 120 sec. and put the right unlockcode. But does the ROM version or Canary version depands on the ability to unlock the phone? WBR, Link to post Share on other sites

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 With the SAP update it works a little different, the SMART network do not want you to SIM unlock so they have taken great measures to make it virtually impossible, The OS does not allow you to enter the unlock code, any non SMART SIM will just give you the error instead of asking for the unlock code.

Guest skanna Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Can someone please clarify what you do with the file downloaded in the original link. What do you run it on, your PC or the SPV. Whats all this about bootloader etc, a step by step method to unlock using this progrm would be much appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dimps05 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 how can i unlock my phone which nas a rom version of 1.9? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 1.9? I presume it's the Smart update you have. If so then you can not SIM unlock it unless you downgrade to a lower bootloader version but to do this on the requires you to downgrade the entire OS. Link to post Share on other sites
