Remove certification requirement from the SPV

[Guest agent.m]

i'm looking into porting Mame to the SPV, i dont have much time for it though :-/

BTW, this thread is now (semi) famous as there's a news story on theregister.net!

Kudos to Supermonkey and our frere Francais for opening the doors. ;)

ok guys, a couple of questions: (I've never done a hard reset before but for this it sounds like it's worth it)

1. If we do this, will we be able to get the update when, as promised, Orange release it?

2. The step-by-step guid is posted somewhere in the middle of this thread - is there any chance of having it somewhere at the top, or on another sticky? (Paul?)

Once again, you lot, thanks - you never cease to amaze me!

question.....is it worth me doing this yet as I have no programming skills and cannot write my own apps, should I wait till there is killer apps for me to install ie doom etc (sorry to be a sponge ;) ) or should I leave my phone be and enjoy what I have?

[Guest Firaas]

It's not worth it if you won't install any apps immediately, as the "hack" resets after restarting the phone.

[Guest crimminsky]

I was under the impression that the "work around" only reset after another Hard reset, am I wrong (boy, confusing....must have a beer!!!)

[Guest Firaas]

T'is what I thought at first, but mine lasts just until the next normal switchoff/switchon. Hope someone can correct me ;)

I deleted the coldinit file immediately after performing the hard reset, and I still have the crack working.

[Guest DJHope]

yep it still works after a reset, even with the coldinit shortcut in! What are you guys chattin about?

But im deleting that shortcut now just in case even though i soft reset it twice already even with coldinit shortcut.

This morning tho i turned it on and it removed the crack and hard reset my phone with no warning although i think that after you do a hard reset it may do another one without your knowledge.

I have a swiss spv with the first update and when I try running the unlocking process the problem is that I cant find the two provxml-files!!! They arent in 'Mobile Device/My Smartphone/Windows'! Maybe I am a bit stupid or I have understood something wrong?! Please help me!

[Guest Firaas]

Ok, time to try it again.

[Guest Firaas]

Aha, worked.

Dunno what happened last time.

[Guest MBoden]

Hehe, i just LOVE being able to code for the SPV :twisted:

It's just the GUI working (somewhat) but keep your fingers crossed ;)

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Don't forget you can use Remote Zoomin in EVC++ to take screenshots of the SPV ;)

[Guest MBoden]

great, now he tells me,after I spent 20 minutes lying on the floor taking pictures from different angles :oops:

well, at least you can tell it isn't a fake :wink:

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

He he he he...

Looking good tho!

One day soon I might get time to actually start developing stuff for the SPV too...

:shock:

P (still hoping the .NET Compact Framework appears for SmartPhone!)

[Guest agent.m]

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Notepad is ideal...

[Guest agent.m]

p.s. thanks by the way!

[Guest sebset]

[Guest Deemon]

You want to look in Windows, not ISPMWindows

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

omg this fourm is too popular :/

[Guest agent.m]

"You want to look in Windows, not ISPMWindows"

it was!

i think im missing something here!!

is it really worth doing it anyway???? how many games actually work??

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

It's definitely worth it for the Jimmy Software games!

Regedit is interesting, and MyTools will be cool when the SPV-fixed version arrives.
