Guest stanford Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 After having 2 days of complete mucking about trying to install stuff on the phone, download to the PC, no messages or anything.... I went on today and tried again. Put in phone number with no spaces +4479xxxxxxxx and clicked on OK and guess what I got the message your phone will be unlocked in 5 minutes :shock: next thing I know the phone has that message on it and is now working fully again. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AngelOfRage Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Ive managed to get mine done now!! i emailed Orange and they were very helpfull, contents of the email below: (if i aren't allowed to post some of thie for any reason, then i am sorry and ill remove it.) [edit] basically worth noting is the updated application and the fact that you can try entering your mobile number without the + on the developers site[/edit] Hello Daniel Cooper, We have found a bug recently introduced into the unlocking process. When you go to the data entry page on the web - the page that asks you to enter in your name, e-mail address, mobile number, and IMEI number - please enter your mobile number in this form: "447789797756". That should allow your IMEI and Mobile numbers to br found, and queue an unlocking message for your SPV. Then you can proceed to step (20), and proactively retrieve your waiting unlocking commands.

Guest ellemy Posted September 7, 2003 Report Share Posted September 7, 2003 Hi, I was really pleased I spotted this one day while browsing the site on my spv. I'd never had any luck in getting mine to unlock. The luck came when my phone accidently slid off my sofa one night, landing straight into my glass of J.D (it's ok tho, this didn't ruin the taste!) Anyhow the next day true to their word I had a new spv delivered. This unlocked straight away & continued to work like a dream. I had another unfortunate accident the other day & my LCD smashed, no worries as orange once again delivered me a new one within 24hrs. But I can't get this one to register so that I can unlock it?? Any clues.....Anyone??! & If I call Orange with the query will it matter that I'm not acually a developer but jus 'lil ol' me who wants lots of cool stuff on my phone?! I've needed to go through the unlock 'thing' because the IMEI number changes with each new phone. The only thing I wasn't happy about was all my contacts were on my phone & not the Sim, lost all of them! & the day I tried to run the backup program when I got the 2nd phone, for some reason it wouldn't work and I never did get round to trying it again!! Lost EVERYTHING!! I think there's a couple of lessons to be learnt there! :wink: Em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Read the first post on the first page on this topic for all the info you need. another option as you are on Orange is to make sure you have the handsets registered with them. I've unlocked all my phones without much problem (sometimes there has been a delay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neuro Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 Hi guys, I have the Mitac Mio 8380. I suppose i'll follow the same procedure to unlock it! :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Will Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 nope this is only for Orange HTC devices (ie the spv and spv e100) not Mitac devices, until/if orange decide to stock mitac phones. Somewhere there is an application unlocked mio 8380 image.. try searching abut.. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The PocketTV Team Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Could someone try to install PocketTV Classic 0.10.14 on an unlocked Mio 8380 ? We believe that we have worked around the problem that was preventing PocketTV from installing on the Mio. Could you try and tell us if it works for you ? PocketTV Classic 0.10.14 is free and can be downloaded from: http://www.smartphone.net/software_detail....teid=279&id=113 Please post feedback on this forum. Thanks!

Guest lowbug Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Does this work for the E200 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BarryFell Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 I just get a message saying: "Sorry but we are unable to find the IMEI number that you have entered on our database." When I try it for my E200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 As I do not have an E200 I can only say what other members have found, and that is it should be possible. As for the IMEI number, apart from trying it again I would think there could be a chance that their system may not be updated with all the new E200 numbers? And that is only a guess at the moment :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ump001 Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Hello, I followed your procedure, but once I run Action Register, I get to the screen with my IMEI and Phone #...

Hi, i've basically got the exact same problem as above, i'm on T-mobile UK network, can anyone help in resolving this and getting my spv e100 software unlocked, pls !! Thanks.

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 You need to use the Passthrough option as instructed in the first post. Or have you done that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ump001 Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 You need to use the Passthrough option as instructed in the first post. Or have you done that? Hi, Yes i've the above too and still the same problem. Anyhting else i can possible do? What if i temporarily use an orange sim to unlock, will the work? thanks.

Guest ump001 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 I've also tried downloading and installing action registered while connected via pass-through and i still get the error Action register is not running phone is registered. Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 If the phone is registered then you do not need Action Register to run. There does now appear to be a common problem with new E200 and the decert process not recognising the IMEI number. One guess at the moment is that it could be down to the fact that O have not fully updated their system with all the new phones IMEI numbers yet.

Guest ump001 Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 I've got a E100 not E200. Would it work if i tried doing this with an orange sim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brody Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 I imagine the answer would be yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ump001 Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 You wont belive this! I tried unlocking with an orange sim, and that still didnt work! Do i have to do any kind of a master reset. Also i network unlocked my phone phone quite easily, so why should software unlcok be such an issue. Is there no way of manually configuring the registry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ump001 Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 I think the main problem is that Action Lock is not running, which the what it says when i run the app. Because i can connect to the internet fine, my phone number in Action Lock shows as '07xxxx' and i have changed this to '+447xxx' and also '+44 7xxx'. Basically when i select the option to Run Action Lock i get no response? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
