Guest Paul [MVP] Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 Following in the rather shaky footsteps of Orange, the Mitac Mio(reviewed at ThreeGMobile ) is being released by CECT in China with the application lock ACTIVE! Mio users are already arriving at MoDaCo looking for ways to remove the lock, and I am aware of a couple of community members working on a way to disable it... Watch this space! P
Guest Arisme Posted July 21, 2003 Report Posted July 21, 2003 Well, IMO 2 things would be much appreciated 1) complete ROM dump (let's dream) 2) IPSM dump + a way to restore it feel free to contribute :wink:
Guest Crispy Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 "]The Mitac Mio is being released by CECT in China with the application lock ACTIVE! How does Orange/Mitac/Microsoft expect the smartphone platform to be a succes if you can't run freeware on it?? ... I just don't get it!!
Guest mar9118 Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 Aside from being APPLICATION LOCKED, I can't seem to find a way to get to the Canary or bootloader screen. Pressing the record button and power button (same as the END button) for sometime will hard reset the phone erasing everything and setting the phone back to its original default condition :cry:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 The bootloader is a HTC creation, hence on the Mio it will be different... P Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Arisme Posted July 22, 2003 Report Posted July 22, 2003 I think another user found a menu to backup the IPSM (but not restore it :wink:)
Guest Terwin Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 Could someone please translate the instructions to get to the Mio 8380 bootloader located in this thread? I don't read German and babelfish.altavista.com translation is imposable to understand. The post by tweet is half way down the page. http://www.telefon-treff.de/showthread.php...&threadid=67432 Will this help in unlocking the phone?
Guest mar9118 Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 Hello Terwin, Here is how to get to the boot menu screen of the Mitac Mio 8380: 1. Phone must be off. 2. Press and hold the volume down key located above the SD/MMC card slot then press power on (end) key until the blue boot menu screen appear. 3. Use the volume up/down key to choose menu item and the rec key (right side just below antena) to select item. 4. Just be careful and don't experiment with items you are not sure specially the ROM Update and CPU Update items, the Erase IPSM is similar to a "Hard Reset" Best regards,
Guest Terwin Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 Here is a pic of the menu I got. Does this get Mio 8380 users closer to getting app unlock? Any help is appreciated :)
Guest mar9118 Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 That is what I am also waiting for, how to application unlock the mio? since we are the first few to have it outside of Taiwan and China, we may have to wait a while for that to happen, menwhile more and more applications are also getting signed :wink:
Guest Terwin Posted August 6, 2003 Report Posted August 6, 2003 In the SPV app unlock how-to's I've read so far it mentions mxip_oem_10.provxml and a mxipcold_oem_10.provxml files. I just checked my Mio 8380 and it has a mxip_oem_10.provxml but no mxipcold_oem_10.provxml. There appears to be no SecurityPolicy information in the Mio 8380 mxip_oem_10.provxml file. The Mio 8380 has a file called mxipcold_smartfon_1.provxml. Could this be the file I need to edit? Also a file called mxip_oem_3.provxml with some SecurityPolicy parts to it at the bottom of it's file: Any ideas?
Guest aiwapro Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 I erased the ROM on my Mitac, but it didn't put all of the Mitac items back. What should I do to get everything back, like the Mitac homescreen, polyphonic ringtones, and all the other Mitac stuff? Please let me know ASAP. Thanks
Guest mar9118 Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 >aiwapro I think what you mean is that you erased the IPSM, that is equivalent to a "Hard Reset" and to put everything back you have to use your Mitac Disk2 to install the other programs again including the mio homescreen, midi files, and all the mitac bundled software.
Guest aiwapro Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 Yeah, thanks. I ended up doing that when I got home. I wasn't at home when I posted my previous message. Are you in the U.S.? If so, or even if not, did you get your Mitac configured to send the MMS messages.
Guest mar9118 Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 no I am not from the US, I am from the Philippines and I got my mio 8380 from Taiwan, yes I was able to configure MMS, you have to edit one of the existing profiles detected by jMMS in the settings menu.
Guest aiwapro Posted August 20, 2003 Report Posted August 20, 2003 It receives MMS messages fine, but when I send them, it goes through the complete process like it sent the message, and then it says "There was an error sending the MMS message."
Guest hulk2 Posted August 25, 2003 Report Posted August 25, 2003 Ciao i'm Giorgio from Italy i've take a 8380 fabolus but lokked!!!!!!!!!!!!! is it possible tu use the same USB sink-charge cables for the SPV to the Mitac Mio 8380 can i or i risk to make damnages??
