Unlock my SPV C500

[Guest spiderboy]

Hi All

I know this has probably been asked a million times and i have read through alot of threads but I a still confused. :?:

I just got my SPV C500 two weeks ago and have been installing some applications and homescreens until last night when I when I wanted to install the Modaco II homescreen and recieved a message that it can't be installed due to security restrictions. Why is this? Do I need to unlock my phone and how do I do this for the C500?

right at this moment you cant. The orange site which is the normal way of unlocking is down ;)

Application unlocking? Why not drop orange developers an email request. ;)

Not to sound totally naive here but can you really send an email to the orange developers to have it unlocked? What information would they need? I can't seem to get the site to unlock my phone.

No you're not....just email [email protected] with your name, the phone model, the phone number (+44......) and the IMEI number from the phone (the number on the box may be missing the last two digits - it was on mine, as was the one printed on the label under the battery - to get the "real" number, do *#06# on the phone itself).

They will email you a small application specific to your phone that you can install to acivate and deactivate the application lock.

Much better to do it this was as if you have to hard-reset the phone for any reason your application lock *may* be re-activated (it was on mine recently).

I received my Security Certificate Disabling tool weeks ago.

Provide name, mobile device, phone number, IMEI (*#06#) then send to [email protected] State that you have problem unlocking your device using the OTA method.

Wait for them to reply (replied to me after a day). They'll send you the tool. ;)
