Orange C600 Application Unlock Probs

[Guest Trancersteve]

Hi all,

I've just recieved my replacement C600 after my old one's joystick had probs.

I'm having a really hard time unlocking the application lock on my new replacement which came with the AKU2 patch already on.

So far i've tried:

Using regedit.exe (from spv-developers.com) and uploading it to my phone, but when I run it it says can't start as its not digitally signed with a trusted certificate. Am I using the right registry editing program? Could you point me to the right one if so?

I've also tried a windows based reg edit program called Mobile Registry Editor that makes changes via windows. When I go to save the changes it says access denied.

Also tried the orange website to unlock the SPV but it tells me it doesn't know my IMEI number. I download the orange registering program onto my c600 it opens up for 1 second then closes back down. :) This is doing my head in!

Not sure what to do,

Any help would be great, thanks :)

1) Orange Unlock Tool:

Emailed orange at ([email protected]) with a polite request for the De-Cert/App unlock tool for the latest AKU2 Rom, explaining the problems i'd been having running various Apps & Tweaking my phone.

This tool is specific to the IMEI so you will need to supply the following Information on your email:

>My IMEI Number is -

>Full name -

>The Mobile Number of the SPV to be unlocked - +44??????????

>Daytime Contact Number - +44??????????

>Daytime email address -

You should try flashing it with an imate sp5 rom.

It works alot smoother and you dont have all that annoying orange rubbish.

Some people do prefer the Orange homescreens - as well as all the mms/gprs etc settings being pre-installed.

Plus, if you have a problem with the device and you take it back to the shop where they discover the SP5 software installed - they're within their rights to tell you to go home and think about what you've done (invalidated your warranty, perhaps?)

Its safer to stay with the Orange fw :)

Yeh but you can just reflash the rom with the AKU2 fw from orange right?

You just use cabs for the orange settings now its sooooo quick.
