software unlock - mxip_oem_10.provxml query

[Guest tsl]

I'm told the above file needs to be modified in order to unlock the phone.

my file (which hasn't been modified at all) reads:

According to various webistes, the orginal file should read:

....and then be modified to......

So what do i do? I'm new to SPV's and don't want to kill the phone within 3 days of buying it. Should I still make the changes to the file, even though my orginal file is different to those most other people have? Help - i want to enjoy my phone like you people do!!!! :x

AFAIK you should be fine just changing the settings to what they need to be for unlocking. I think that my original file was different to the one given in the instructions, although it was a while ago, so I can't be sure.

There is the other option of getting http://www.developers.orange.com/workingwith/2003/03/04/Unlocking/>Orange to do it for you! A lot less risky.

Personally I'd go through Orange as mattkirby suggested. It has the advantage that the phone will be pernamently decerted, even when you do a hard reset.

I didn't know that the Orange OTA decert survives a hard reset!

Fantastic! :)

I have to admit that I've been lucky and haven't needed to hard reset since doing the OTA decert - so I've never had the chance to notice.

Of course, I should really be working on that application that I promised Orange I was working on.... :wink:
