HELP WITH UNLOCKING SPV E200

[Guest kevinascott]

I HAVE TRIED TO UNLOCK MY SPV E200 BUT NO SUCCESS. AFTER FOLLOWING THE ORANGE DEVELOPERS SITE, IN ASK YOU TO CONNECT THE PHONE TO THE PC. On your PC, click on Start, Select Run..., type in CMD, and press the ENTER key

This should launch a command prompt window

THE PC DOESN'T RECONISE IT

in windowsxp there is a command prompt shortcut in the start menu, under accessories.

sorry but i haven't got windows xp only got windows 98 second edition

[Guest squall]

hang on, to application unlock your spve200 there is no point you have to connect your phone to the pc, its done via a message sent direct to your phone!

Could you please clarify what you mean, with screen shots if possible

[Guest kevinascott]

on the orange developers site after you have had the message on your saying that the phone is unlocked it tells yon to

Connect your phone to your PC via ActiveSync.

You must use ActiveSync 3.6 or later - which was included in the box with the phone

On your PC, click on Start, Select Run..., type in CMD, and press the ENTER key

This should launch a command prompt window

Within the command prompt window, type the following text. Remember to press the ENTER key at the end of each line of text.

cd c:windows ce toolswce300smartphone 2002tools

sp2002dps /create /device

After you type in the "sp2002dps /create /device", the following text should appear:

Processing files

Emulator files complete

Device files complete

and i can't get it to do this

Once you recieve the message that your phone is unlocked that's it you do not need to do anything else :D

Moved to Help and Advice

when the message comes up on the phone does it tell you after the 5 mins its unlocked and do you leave the message on the screen

[Guest squall]

when you get that message your phone is unlocked, you can clear it if you like, and install software via active sync. win 98 doesnt tend to go down to well with smartphones / usb ...

Not true, mate.

Okay, it's not ideal but I've not had any problems.

Sounds like you need to go through the OTA process again.

It's not uncommon.
