Guest Provod Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Got mine SPV couple of days ago. Following the steps to remove cert requirements can't perform step 9 - "Press and hold the Action button (joystick middle button) for 2 seconds as instructed." Instead Diag mode I get straight into three colour "Canary". I do keep the voice rec button pressed when I press Action. Any hints? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest woody Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 put in sd card that should then let you re-boot ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr_1nfern0 Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 I've finally got a hold of my phone on saturday after a long delay in ordering. Is anyone else having problems with the hard reset ? I boot the phone up with the voice memo button held down and get the prompt screen. As soon as I touch the the action key the phone moves on to the canary screen. Not a chance to get to the diag screen. I've tried releasing the voice memo before pressing the action key, holding them both down etc. all combinations return me to the canary screen. Any ideas how to proceed?

Guest Bazz Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 I found it easiest to hold in action key, recorder button and power button. After you reach the hold in action key screen let go of the recorder and power buttons, but leave the action key held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Provod Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Tried everything suggested to no avail. No matter what you do or don't do, the three colour canary screen comes up. Suspect the latest batch of SPVs has been protected against this hack. Any other way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paulcaley Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 I had problems getting my phone to unlock, it took about 12 times or so, the last time I connected straight to my PC via USB and did not go through my USB hub as I had several other devices on there aswell. This seemed to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Earthcoder Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 16. Wait a while... how long is wait a while. ;) 10 mins or like 5 hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacemonkey Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 like 5 minutes It's about having patience, not looking at it 20 seconds after start up, getting paranoid, hard resetting the phone 20 times and then complaining on the forum that the world is ending.

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 There are some variations on the filenames, some people don't seem to have the "p" in their filenames. As long as the security tag is there you should be alright... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Its taken some people 10 times or more to get it working, i assume you've tried all the tricks? SIM lock on, files poised and ready on your PC etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greg Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Hi guys Something really weird happened!! I was always reluctant to unlock my phone because i thought i would mess it up!! Anyway i fianally did it. changed the "my orange news" title to "orange news" so that i would know if it worked. did the hard reset and plugged the phone into the cradle when it changed to the blue smartphone screen. Then coppied and pasted the files into the window folder. look at the web favourites. It had changed ;) Loaded reg edit and Doom!! also changed the media player skin so that it stays after a stwich off. But then i looked at the two files i had changed they have gone back to normal!! but the phone is unlocked as i can install an run un cert apps!! I'm not complaining just wandered if anyone knew what was going on!! cheers Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madu Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Windows folder is reflashed from ROM on each phone reboot. So the files are reloaded from original. Also they are run only once after hard reset. Afterwards they are pretty useless. That is also the reason why you cannot just copy a better media skin in Windows folder coz it will reset to original after phone is OFF>ON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tony_spv_2003 Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 If you own a UK spv and u want to use ur phone for uncert apps or games then all you need to do is follow these instructions. http://www.bornsloppy.co.uk/app-cert.htm This does actually work on UK spv's! Doom SPV rules. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest J1A1H Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 hi fo a long time now i have always worried about uncertifying my phone just in case somehin goes wrong but i have the bottle to do it now. BUT I HAVE A PROBLEM. i do now understand apart of this section can someone help me out please 3. Open a 'Windows Explorer' window to 'Mobile Device/My Smartphone/Windows', and leave it open. 4. Copy mxipcold_oem10.provxml and mxip_oem10.provxml to a directory on your PC (i.e. c:tempspv) 5. Edit BOTH of these two files as follows: - Remove the element named 'Characteristic' with the type attribute 'Security Policy' from both. - In it's place insert the following: Quote: -Change the name of the first browser favourite subtly (this will be used later to confirm that you've managed to get the file in on time), e.g. from 'Orange' to 'Orange NEW'. I opened windows explorer on my computer but i can't find the file mxipcold_oem10.provxml and then i am not sure wat to do after that can someone help me out in a little more detail please.
