Mitac unlocks Mio 8380, provides firmware patch

[Guest The PocketTV Team]

Mitac announced that they will allow users to unlock their Mio 8380 if they

want to, beginning this month.

See http://65.115.69.88/mio/news_013.asp

It is still unclear if unlocking the Mio 8380 will solve their certification

bug - which prevents installing some applications and is explained here:

Good news for Mio 8380 users:

In addition with locking/unlocking control, Mitac will also provide a patch

that will fix the infamous HKCR privilege issue (also known as the

certification problem, discussed here:

http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=90626 ).

The Mio 8380 patch should be available here, too (soon):

In fact the Mio unlocking service is already available on http://mitac.mic.com.tw/digiwalker/main.htm , but in chinese only.

The new service (available Oct 15th) will also allow to install a patch to fix the firmware problem that currently prevents installing many signed apps on locked Mio's.
