Guest samuel.landis Posted January 19, 2003 Report Posted January 19, 2003 I tried to follow Paul's Guide to unlock my SPV. Strange thing, i can't find the two .provxml files on my Handy. There are two files in the Windows Folder named "mxipcold_oem_10.provxml" and "mxip_oem_10.provxml" (note the "p" in the names). I can't locate the attribute "Security Policy" in these two files. I bought my SPV from Orange Switzerland, and installed the swiss update from the end of december. Has anybody succeeded unlocking a swiss SPV?
Guest youngerpants Posted January 19, 2003 Report Posted January 19, 2003 Mine is a UK phone and my xml files have the same name (with the p), so these are the right files. Security is in there, just keep looking or send me a message and i'll mail you ready altered files.
Guest lutzh Posted January 19, 2003 Report Posted January 19, 2003 Hi Samuel, I have an unlocked SPV from Danmark with German OS - hell knows how that came out and where its really from... I've found and edited both files but wasn't able to install any apps on the phone even if it showed me the changed url as in the description. What I miss is the update - do you see any chance to do a complete backup on a sd/mmc-card and then sending it to me? Maybe I can help you then getting your phone unlocked (I can't reach the swiss update from germany, thats why I need someone who can backup his updated phone and then send me this file). Cheers, Lutz
Guest samuel.landis Posted January 20, 2003 Report Posted January 20, 2003 I don't know how to do that, i'm sorry :lol: The update came over the air and i have no files to send you... Maybe it's possible to download the ROM somehow, i don't know. My SPV seems to be unlocked after erasing IPSM data, as decribed by Paul. I installed Snake and MyTools successfully and executed a sample Prog found in emmbedded visual tools ;) I did not change anything in the two .provxml files!
Guest lutzh Posted January 20, 2003 Report Posted January 20, 2003 Hi Samuel, its actually pretty simple to do a complete backup of the SPV (and always good to have a backup!). Simply insert a SD/MMC-Card, then do a reboot like you did when you erased the IPSM-Folder (remove Battery for >5 sec., then hold the recording button and switch the phone on, hold the action key for a second and there you are by writing all to the Card). Then you can simply read out your SD/MMC-Card on your computer and have a ROM-File that you can send to me:-)... Cheers, Lutz
Guest samuel.landis Posted January 20, 2003 Report Posted January 20, 2003 Hi Lutz You're right, its quite easy to to write the ROM to a SD-Card, i did not know ;) Now there's a problem: the program (Canary Diag.) formats the card without asking. And it does it in a very special way, as it seems :evil: . The card can not be read by PC/cardreader. Even the smartphone itself can not read it and wants to format it in order for using it with the smartphone. So i tried it by using active sync, but no success... Any further ideas?
Guest imp Posted January 22, 2003 Report Posted January 22, 2003 Where did you get Snake for Smartphone?
Guest samuel.landis Posted January 22, 2003 Report Posted January 22, 2003 somebody mentioned it in this forum, juts do a Search for "Snake".
Guest mwyrsch Posted January 31, 2003 Report Posted January 31, 2003 Hi Samuel Perhaps I can you help! I have unlocked my swiss SPV. I have see the german manual to unlock the spv here: http://www.pocketpc.ch/viewtopic.php?p=1099 Sorry for my bad englisch. When you would, you can send me an email in german ;) then I can help you. Best regards, Marco
Guest samuel.landis Posted January 31, 2003 Report Posted January 31, 2003 Hi mwirsch/marco I have unlocked my SPV for some time now... As you can read in a later posting the way i did it was much easier. No file-editing!;) Thanks for your help, nevertheless...
Guest Sofarocker Posted February 4, 2003 Report Posted February 4, 2003 The Swiss SPV seems definitely to be unlocked after the Swiss Update! I have tried like samual.landis to load after the swiss update and a simple hard reseting a non certificated game (in my case hlogic) and i was suprised!! Without any changing or cracking my SPV, the mobile was able to load and start the game!!! Yeeeah... thats COOL!!!! Greetz from Lucerne to Kriens & winterthur!! No i will try to check doom on my SPV :twisted:
Guest ibbonet Posted February 17, 2003 Report Posted February 17, 2003 Hallo samuel, I also bought my SPV, and I'd like you about the swiss update you mentioned. Did it istall without problems, cause my phone blocked completly, and onlv removing the battery helped. :evil: Ä schönä!! :wink:
Guest samuel.landis Posted February 17, 2003 Report Posted February 17, 2003 Hi ibbonet Nein, mein Update verlief auch ziemlich "harzig". Es ist wichtig, dass das SPV im Cradle steckt bzw. am Netzgerät angeschlossen ist. Und dann braucht's viel Geduld........ (mein Upate war erst nach 2 Tagen abgeschlossen :roll: , allerding habe ich das Gerät viel zu früh aus dem cradle genommen). Einige Zeit nach dem Wiedereinstecken ging der Update-Prozess dann weiter. Seither läuft es ohne Probleme :) Gruss Sam
Guest ibbonet Posted February 21, 2003 Report Posted February 21, 2003 Aber hattest Du in der Zwischenzeit die Meldung, dass das Update nicht den Ländereinstellungen entspricht???
