Guest karlux Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 Hi, Please help me unlocking Orange C500 phone! A long time ago I have managed to unlock a few Typhoon phones, but now it doesn't work at all. I don't have the original orange sim in the phone, but I have managed to do without one so far - using Jeyo Mobile Companion disabled Simlock.exe and was able to browse the phone. I run application unlocker - didn't work. I edit registry - set values to 1 and 40 - seemed to work - application was unlocked and I was able to install cert.cab Installed cert.cab and run SPV Sim Unlock tool - the tool stuck at "Please wait, reading encrypted block..." What should I do? Can anybody help me with this problem - I really want to unlock my phone!!! Thanks!!
Guest karlux Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 PS. I read somewhere that I need to have Internet connection while runing SPV Tools - why is it so? Could the SPV tools not run properly because of the Internet connection?
Guest karlux Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Anybody... please help!! I can't unlock the phone!!
Guest slimgym Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 I'm not an expert but the unlocker uses the internet connection via activesync - I would guess because the actual algorithm is not contained in the programme but accessed remotely. I suppose this gives the developers control over the process and stops their hard work being used for commercial gain. So yes, you need an internet connection and activesync around for this to work.
Guest karlux Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 Thanks! The activesync works ok when the c500 is pluged in, internet connection is also available - I could even browse the SPV developers web page and run SPV Services directly from their site... and even then I get stucked with - Please wait, reading encrypted block... I guess I have to find orange sim and try once more - otherwise I don't know what else could help!!
Guest slimgym Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 Ok, probably can't help then. Like you I used a task manager to kill off the "unlock" nag screen then regedit to app unlock and finally the cert.cab and app to unlock. Not sure if the ROM version is an issue, mine is 4.1.1.4, tempted to update it but don't want to re-lock it by mistake!
Guest karlux Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 Flashe with new rom just in case - nothing changes! Is there any other way how to sim unlock the phone?
