Guest yarod_g14 Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hello people, I hope someone can help with my replacement 6.7.1.1 E200! I have had countless Spv's e100's e200's go through my hands in the last couple of years. In that time I have never had 1 problem decerting the phones. Yesterday I called orange care and got new phone sent out as the buttons were xxxxxxx. I recived it all nice clean and shiny this morning and I immidiatley looked to update the ROM as I have always needed to on replacement sets. This phone came with 6.7.1.1 operator ROM so I didnt need to. I thought "great" what nice guys they are at Orange. I then tried to copy back my start menu and as I should have expected ERROR!! Files are obviously protected etc. I then tried to run doom and its buggered. No access allowed doesnt even give me a message just doesnt do anything when I click. (I can play smartNES though?!?!) I have this on my storage card which worked find on my previous E200. I then spent about 4 hours on the Orange site attempting to Unlock OVER THE AIR. This has always worked for me before. My IMIE number seems to be recognised and I am getting no errrors. I have spent ages going around the Orange web site on my phone though GPRS attempting to get registered with them(on 10 occasions, all today). I then spent another 3 hours working my way through MSDN, MODACO, COOLSMARTPHONE and every other smrtphone site I could find for another method. I found E200.zip which contains No Warez which I have downloaded. I then copied this over to my phone and tried to run it. ACCESS DENIED. Right now....I want to customise my bootup and startmenu. Later I plan to develop a database access utility. I cant do it at all :) I can find no help on the orange web site. A few people have mentioned that they have contacted orange and have been sent tools to unlock their deviced. Could someone give me the e-mail address of the correct department or any other advice. Thanks (PS-I am currently Illll-up with flu, if I missed something really obvious please forgive me, my head is stuffed up) Edited for 'swearing' by Disco Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Disco Stu Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 The OTA method has a new home. Check the first page on the OTA thread for trhe new details. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yarod_g14 Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Thanks for the prompt reply Disco Stu, I have been using this new link and I have tried it whilst logged into ornage world via GPRS and with just GPRS active also all I have listed above!!! I am still unlockable!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pierre Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Do send an e-mail like this one to : [email protected] Hello, The Mobile Number of the SPV to be unlocked +XXXXXXXXXX Daytime Contact Number +XXXXXXXXXX Daytime email address [email protected] Whether you downloaded the Registry application from this page yes IMEI is XXXXXXXXXXXXXX Regards. They'll send you an app that will do the job. If backlog, do expect up to 10 days for their answer... :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yarod_g14 Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Thank you very much Pierre. I have to say, I am baffled by the layout of the OTA page that I find here: http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/comdefq.aspx I find the option to unlock only. There is no menu bar at the top of the page as the author of this post mentioned. I simply have the option to unlock and nothing else. I have been unable to find any link to any registry application. I did manage to find E200.zip which contained No Warez from elsewhere but this gives me "access denied" when I try to run it. Thanks :) **edit*** AHA "!!!!!!! I found this link on another post: http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/downloaddef.aspx This appears to be direct link to action register, which (unless I am suprisingly dumb today-)doesn't appear to be linked to anywhere on the Orange site!! Im going to give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pierre Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Yes you can always thry the AE, even I must say that it did not work for me, and I had to finally apply by e-mail to obtain the app. I got the same thing like you, means this unlock over the air worked fine many times for more than a year when it suddenly did not work anymore... So boring. The good news are it worked again really fine with my new SPV C500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jfran Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 just decided to give the c500 a try after a few weeks on the sp3i... pissed off about this decert issue as I have tried severral times following the instructions on the site to no avail, just insatlled the imate sp3 rom and all is well... besides the font is much better :) rgds jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Is this the correct link to unlock a C500 too? : http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/comdef.aspx or this one: http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/comdefq.aspx Or doesn't it matter.

Guest squall Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 it doesnt matter, the only difference is that one will default to unlock the phone, and the other other to lock. you can use either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scotty89uk Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I have a problem with unlocking the phone, it says the web page cannot be foun after I have went to the webpage to unlock it! can anyone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Disco Stu Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Which address did you use ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zombiefly Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Which address did you use ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i've been trying this link http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/comdef.aspx the page is extremely slow, and never sends the unlock instruction. I've done this twice before with my e200's and never had a problem. I've also read reports of the page not working on newsgroups. Is this site the only way to developer unlock the phone? :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Disco Stu Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Check Squall's guide in Articles : http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=198952 There are 4 addresses I'm aware of. 1. Yours 2. Similar but 'comdefq' 3. Orange Developers 4. Orangepartner.com They're all in the OTA topic linked to by Squall. Sorry, but I'm just not sure anymore of which one is the correct one.

Guest squall Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/comdefq.aspx http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/comdef.aspx these two links are the same, but one defaults to unlcok the phone, and the other to lock the phone. Makes NO difference what you use! The site is slow, but worked for me last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zombiefly Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/comdefq.aspx http://developer.orangews.com/orgspv/comdef.aspx these two links are the same, but one defaults to unlcok the phone, and the other to lock the phone. Makes NO difference what you use! The site is slow, but worked for me last night <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i've tried both many times. it says it will send it, but nothing ever arrives. i've retyped my IMEI number etc and still it wont work. Sanity check, if my number starts 07711, i enter +447711 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Disco Stu Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Correct - as stated on the website. Make sure your IMEI is the longer version obtained by *#06# rather than the one on the stickers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zombiefly Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 (edited) yep. followed instructions as detailed here and on the page. i read above about Action Register. Am i correct in assuming that this is a program to manually unlock the phone? :?: Edited January 13, 2005 by zombiefly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Disco Stu Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 No, it was to register your IMEI with the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zombiefly Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 (edited) No, it was to register your IMEI with the site. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> so, if i'm using the correct IMEI and phone number and i get the "your phone will be unlocked message" but then i get nothing sent to my phone, what is the next step do you think? if i've used the internet via GRPS, i'm assuming this registers my IMEI to a database somewhere which is used by the unlock page? does that page give an error to unrecognised IMEI's or does it just pretend to work? this is doing my head in.Such as stupid idea. Maybe next time i buy a tv the tv shop will tell me which programs i am allowed to watch on it. :roll: Edited January 13, 2005 by zombiefly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest squall Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 it does give errors for unknown imei. Give it another go, if it doesnt work use the contact details on that sire to contact orange. The can create a custom app for your imei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zombiefly Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 tried it again, still no joy. I'll email them directly with my details. thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zombiefly Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 yes, tried both. i emailed orange in the end who provided me with a program to do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pigo Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I've tried this several times with my C500. doesn't do anything for me. Tried being online with GPRS with no luck. Is it even possible for me? I have Dutch Orange. I have been able to install everything I like. but when it comes to homescreens it says I'm not authorized or something. very bored with the Ornage homescreen. someone please help.

Guest squall Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 I would email orange using the details on the site, they can send you a custom app based on your imei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
