Free non permanent sim unlock for e200 - patched rom

[Guest squall]

This guide enables you to use the E200 with a sim card from any network by modifying the Rom, IE the operating systems.

1. Install a zip program such as winace or winrar

2. Download the latest Update for your country from your orange site.

3. Right click on the file downloaded from the orange site and click extract to. Choose a location and extract

4. Download the file e200unlock.zip from here ->E200Unlock.zip

5. Extract the contents of that zip to the same folder as the rom you unzipped in step 3.

6. Open the folder and run the file called E200Unlock.exe. You will see window as below

7. Type ok

8. Go back to the folder you extracted the rom to in step 3 and run the file called ROMUpdateUtility.exe

Note: This will wipe your device. Back everything up including contacts etc.

This article is loosely based on a translation of the page

Also be aware this is not a full sim lock, you will lose the unlock when you reflash the rom unless you use a cracked rom file again

[Guest squall]

when you run the app to edit the rom it tells you if its successful, no other way to test other than using sim card

[Guest ian_dazookeeper]

[Guest petermerritt]

LOL damn.... just 30mins before reading this I'd got my new e200 and went and got it unlocked for £20... ah well....

[Guest pierre]

I had done that one some weeks back to one friend's and it worked nicely. Now when will the same be available for C500s ^_^

[Guest spacecowboy6982]

PS took two attempts to get it all working mind!

[Guest Archer]

Has anybody tried this with a Voyager ROM from SMART Philippines? What version? Thanks....

[Guest sonec]

I just tried this but could not get it to work.

I had already installed the ROM update on my E200. I downloaded the ROm update and the sim unlock software to a folder on my desktop as explained, however when i go to run the sim unlock it flashes on and off the screen in the blink of an eye?????

Anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions????
