Guest XGEOX Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Hi, i've finally got my grps to work properly thanks to some help from u guys and OrangeCS... it turns out they hadn't activated gprs properly... but anyway - now that i have a fully working spv, i'd like to ask a few questions about 'app unlocking' (de-signing or whatever you call it): o firstly, if i unlock my phone, will i be able to install and play unsigned apps indefinately, or will i have do do it everytime i want to install/play one? o will this process limit the functionallity of my phone in any way? o will it invalidate my warranty? o Will it reset all settings on my phone/and will it delete/reset my files like ringtones and homescreens? o If this goes wrong, am i likely to serverly screw up my phone? :S also, what exactly does a hard reset do? when you say it returns the phone to an 'out of the box' state, does that mean i'll have to get the grps sim updates again? Thank in advance, George
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 The answer to all of the above NO :lol: A hard reset takes the phone to the "out of the box" settings so the setup etc are the same as a new phone but you will not need to get any sim updates etc.
Guest XGEOX Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 sure? if so - im gonna be playing doom later today :lol:
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Doom rocks, but it does not have sound (at the moment) :D Have fun as you will be opening up a whole new world by decerting :lol:
Guest XGEOX Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 thx m8 - btw: i have just installed some cert software (interstellar flames) - will that be removed by a hard reset?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 By a hard reset yes as it wipes all installed information due to wiping, then reinstalling the IPSM :lol: But if you decert via the Orange developers site (click on OTA to take you there) you will not need to do a hard reset to decert your phone.
Guest XGEOX Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 ok thx - ive just used the orange site to unlock the phone, and it seems to be going ok... ...im just waiting for the message now :lol: Does Orange ever check up on ppl to see what they are ...cough.. developing? hehe - i mean, have they ever questioned you about your reasons for unlocking the phone?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Not that I'm aware of, and also the message can take time depending on how busy the site is. If for some reason you do not get the message (it has been known) just do the process again.
Guest XGEOX Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 k, ive got the message, and im trying to test it out, but i dont have enough room for doom - finding something else... any suggestions? (games not utils - i wanna have some fun =)
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 Not enough room? I guess you only have the orginal 8MB card then? Have a look on mono's site www.monolithix.org I believe there are some smaller freeware games there.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted June 7, 2003 Report Posted June 7, 2003 I'll pass on that offer :lol: have fun playing
