SPV C500 SIM unlock (abroad)

[Guest nicolasprice]

Hello everyone.

Am having HUGE problems trying to unlock my phone whilst in NZ. Have gone through the SPV developer program all the way to the end only to get the message `Illegal readZone attempt - RAPI init failed` Have application unlocked, installed CAB.exe file with no problems. Can anyone help?

Thanks

I successfully SIM unlocked a C550 the other day, whilst in Belgium. Basically, you need to app unlock using the HTC signed RegEdit tool, install the SPV developers certificate (in the CAB) and then fire up the unlock tool. Not being in the UK makes it a little difficult to get the app unlocking right - make sure that it has worked by trying another unsigned app.

If you need more help, I can try and dig out the link with specific instructions...
