Free Unlocking Software C500

[Guest celica1.8st]

I've just been sent a Free Unlocking program for the c500.

My question is, is it real? I hadn't heard that one had been released but it looks real.

There were two files:

Instructions.txt

SPVUnlock.exe - with a silver padlock icon

The contents of the Instructions file are as follows:

Here's the FREE solution for unlocking Orange SPV!


Here you go![list=1]

[*]Close active sync.

[*]Kill the WCESCOMM.EXE process with the task manager.

[*]double Click on the lock icon on SPVUnlock.exe

[*]Note the code given at screen by the program.

[*]Type in the command "quit" and enter.

[*]Put a sim card into the phone (from another provider than Orange) then just type the code given by the program.

[*]Enjoy!

[/list=1]

I decided to just run the program without the phone plugged in and it said:

Cannot access the phone (verify that WCESCOMM is terminated and the phone is in bootloader mode) - aborting

The above message was in a DOS type window.

Any ideas if it is real or is it a fake that will wipe my phone or something like that!!

this looks the same as the application for unlocking the older spv's. if it is it doesnt work on the c500. If you can attach it to this thread and we can check it out

[Guest celica1.8st]

I daren't try it to be honest incase anything goes wrong. Am I allowed to attach it here?

Also other than the containing zip file saying it was c500unlocker there is no referrence to the c500 so I suspect you may be right!

If you want me to attach it just incase then please ask and I will attach it.

Cheers

Are you referring to this file?

[Guest celica1.8st]

Not quite:

Alright, saw another file from the net. Looks identical to the file you mentioned.

I think its the old unlock program for SPV e100. ;)

Heh, there is a newer version, but when you run it, it displays something like: "sniffer found, aborting :-)" or something :-?

it might be an april fool ;)

I'd be careful running it, if you got it from a source you don't trust. It seems similar to the e100 unlocker, but has a larger filesize - those extra bytes may be a virus ;)

If you want, attach it here. I'll do a quick dissassembly, and should know what it does in no time.
