SimLock update question? HELP?!?!

Hello all.
I just made one update to my Qtek S100, but now its asking me for the SimLock code, what is that?
I try'd to put my PIN code, but it's not it.
I don't know what code is this and I can't use the phone.
I try'd a 1.13 rom and 1.12 Rom and both ask for the simlock code when I restat the phone.
Help.

sim lock is there to prevent you from using this phone with another telco. However, qtek shoudnt have their phone locked to anyone. Tell us about what have you done on your SIM card and which ROM are you using previously and now.

Orange SPV C600 Application Unlock

Hi Peeps,
I have been researching many websites without any luck. I am new to Windows Mobile devices and looking for some assistance in Application Unlocking the C600/Tornado.
I have seen some posts about flashing it with the Imate ROM. The phone itself is sim unlocked however I am trying to install some third party applications and it is stating I don't have enough permissions.
I have tried various Registry editors but they won't install.
Can anyone help?
Edit:
I have tried using the HTC Unlocker. It states unable to open regedit.exe. I have also tried SDA_Applicationunlock.exe I get the message "Phone is not unlockable".
This is driving me crazy, can anyone help.
Cheers

unlocking spv c600
Hey guys
I have followed the above steps to unlock my phone, and I'm still gettting an "Invalid Sim card" error.
I have tried just about every unlocking app or method there is, and still no luck. I have a new SPV C600 which I got on an Orange contract about a year ago. And it's security locked so I can't edit the registry, and I can't install any certificates either.
And though I tried the 1, 2, 3 step method above, and tho it told me it was successfull on all 3 steps, my O2 sim card still doesn't work.
Waahhaaaa....
help please

GUYz MY PROBLEM IS HUGE. I AM STUCKED ON A THREE COLOUR SCREEN ON MY SPV C600 CEEL WHILE I WAS TRYING TO UPGRADE IT. THE ONLY ROM THAT SEEMS TO WORK , ONLY STOP AT 2% (WM5) DURING THE PROCESS. WAT SHLD I DO. I HAVE BEEN ON THIS FOR ABOUT 2WEEKS. PLZZZZZZ HEP [email protected] IS MA EMAIL

Seems like the same story over and over again... sigh.
You first must get access to the old OS again. As you have not succeeded in doing any upgrade yet, the old OS should still be there. Do a hard-reset:
1.) switch off
2.) press l+r softkey + keep pressed until a next step tells to release them
3.) switch on device
4.) wait for white screen with advice on hard-reset, release L+R softkeys
5.) press key for hard-reset (should be 0)
Device reboots to old OS.
When old OS is up you MUST(!) application unlock the device before you can do anything else. The Orange devices are especially resistant to allow this crucial first step. I have no such device, but key to success is that SDA Application unlock tells that your device is successfully unlocked.
Look for C600 Unlock to find dedicated instructions.
Mind that after the application Unlock you need also the CID Unlock and (if SIM locked) also the SIM Unlock. All is possible for free, so no need to spend money for that.

The basic is that all shipped ROMs are one flashable NBH file. To manage that file you need two apps. One called NBHExtract to extract the content of NBH file into NB files (search here for it) and htcrt to pack the NB files you need into a NBH. If you need to flash only the OS, then take the 03_OS.NB and pack with htcrt. The use Kaiser CustomRUU to flash the OS only.
Hope that helps you.
Cheers.

Hi, I have downloaded the dutty rom and run the NBHExtract program and its extracted 2 files, now I have used the htcrt and that has created a NB file which I understand that I have to now use the Custom RUU file. Will this just flash the OS file and keep the radio etc? the reason I ask if that I have the Orange UK TYTN 2 and I know that if mess with the Radio file then it will SIM Lock the device. Unless someone else can tell me something else. Does what I have done sound right and will it now work on my TYTN2 without it being unlocked?

I have flashed my UK Orange TyTNII,
Firstly and most importantly i flashed HardSPL which you can find in one of the sticky's, connect your phone and run the .exe file and follow the instructions to install it.
Once i had done that i downloaded the HTC Original Rom, using Winrar i took the NBH file out of the HTC_Original_ROM.exe and placed it in a file. Then using NBHExtract i decompiled it into it's sections (Splash Screen, OS, Radio, SPL, IPL) then i repackaged just the OS.nb back into an NBH file and flashed that to my phone.
Using this method i only altered the OS and I have HardSPL installed for protection against bad flashes.
I did not have any problem with the Phone asking for a SIM unlock code
Hope that helps
Cheers

HI,
I am thinking of getting a TyTNII on Orange UK, but because I will be travelling abroad, I want to be able to use local sim cards.
I understand that Orange phones are locked down, what would I have to do to make it 'sim free'?
Do I need to flash the rom as described above?
Also, why is it not good idea to flash the original HTC ROM? The 'sim free' TyTNII can take any sim, whats changed in Orange models?
Thanks in advance for you help.

T-mobile is the same
I would like to get the HTC rom on my Vario III not for simlock just because most of the time the rom is just more stabel how do i do this already flashed my old vario once from wm5 to wm6 but its bin a long time since i have bin here anny help?

On the Orange TyTnIIs there are two types of locks:
a) CID Lock
b) SIM Lock
The CID lock stops you from loading a replacement ROM on the device.
The SIM lock stops you from using a non-Orange SIM.
The free HardSPL software handles the CID lock issue, allowing the ROM to be replaced.
The SIM lock issue cannot currently be fixed with a free solution. There are people on the forum who can SIM unlock it for you for about 20 quid. This will allow you to use any network's SIM in the device, but in general, has little to do with the ROM upgrade issue (though see next caveat).
If you simply run HardSPL to deal with the CID lock, you can now install a new ROM. However, if you blindly install a ROM that contains a different radio rom to orange's radio rom, then the device will behave as if any SIM, including an Orange SIM, is invalid. To get around this you have two options:
a) Only install a ROM which has no radio rom in it, but only changes the Operating System rom, or
b) pay someone 20 quid so that the phone is SIM unlocked, so that when you run HardSPL and install arbitrary ROMs you have no risk of the above problem occurring.
I went with a), and simply ran HardSPL then installed Sleuth's ROM since it doesn't have a radio rom in it. This worked fine; it replaced all Orange's crappy customisations and works.
Solution a) is not what you are after though. You basically want to use a non-Orange SIM, which means you have to SIM unlock it. This doesn't require the use of any software like HardSPL or any ROM upgrades, but *does* require a 20 quid payment to some bloke (via the horrible paypal system, and apparently he wants a copy of your passport/ID for his safety, which ruled this out for me - I'm happy to pay 20 quid, but certainly not happy to be sending my passport details to men in the shadows). Here's his URL - apparently it takes minutes and is done online: www.imei-check.co.uk/kaiser-unlock.php
Hope that helps.

Thanks alot divert, that explains it well.
I take it that the same is true about T-mobile version as well?

I have bought my HTC TyTN II from Orange Netherlands and the ROM language is dutch... therefore I'm struggling to learn as much as possible from this forum how to change the ROM with a WWE one.
This thread is more closely to my situation and I dared to intervene...
So far I understood that first I have to install HardSPL to be able to change the dutch ROM. This is clear to me. Then I have to choose a ROM version (without Radio in it to avoid locking the SIM). Can you help me in this matter to suggest me a stable english ROM? (also the download link if is possible ).
Then I have to install this ROM. Considering that I never did this before I am a little bit afraid not to permanently damage the phone (is it possible?). Some things are not clear to me.
Do I have to dump my dutch ROM before I install the new one or not?
Is it possible to back up the dutch ROM and in case something goes wrong to restore it?
Is not knowing the dutch language a problem during the installation?
What is the simple and safest way to install the new ROM .. can you please have the patience to guide me step by step in this matter? I would really appreciate this...
Thank you!
Later edit: I can PayPal...

I've no idea roks, sorry. I didn't answer your question for a while as I thought someone who knew might. Perhaps they will. Maybe you need to start a new thread for the TMobile question, as this thread will be read primarily by those on Orange UK I'd guess.

As I said, I installed Sleuth's ROM, since that does not affect the radio. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343867 - he's put a download link there.
Someone else said that Dutty's Rom also does not affect the radio. Here's the thread for that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341879 - I have not tried it though, so I can't confirm. If an Orange UK user does try it, please post your results in this thread so that other people can be reassured it works.
Another user, kyphur, is keeping a nice list of current Kaiser ROMs here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343198 but it's not clear from that thread which ROMs don't affect the radio. I had to go and read the individual ROM threads to find out. I repeat, Sleuth's ROM does not affect the radio, and someone else tells me that Dutty's Rom doesn't either.

I did not back mine up, because I wasn't sure how to restore it, so I just took a risk (silly, really, but fortunately it all worked). Someone did put instructions on how to do all this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066 but I was too lazy to do it.

I don't know anything about the Dutch Orange phones. I only know about the UK Orange phones from what I have read on the forum and from my own experiences. I can't confirm that Dutch Orange devices have the same SIM lock issue as UK Orange phones. Even if they don't, though, I'm reasonably sure the same upgrade process will be fine for you, as it only upgrades the Operating System (OS) ROM.
When I did the upgrade, all the instructions were in english and on the PC, not the phone. You don't need to read anything on the phone itself, so I would say no, the fact that the phone language is Dutch should not be an issue. I assume the hardware is the same (though perhaps you have a different keyboard layout, and I don't know enough about the OS to know if this is an issue). If someone else knows better, please say.

All I can tell you is what I did - remember this is for Orange UK TyTnII:
ORANGE UK TyTnII Rom Upgrade Steps:
First, try to read the Stickies at the top of this forum. Even if it doesn't make a lot of sense to you, there might be something important to you there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378
Download Kaiser HardSPL and follow the instructions.
Here is the thread with the download link and instructions:

Download a ROM that only affects the OS. I used Sleuth's.

This thread is about changing the TyTnII Orange UK Rom, not SIM unlocking it. Nevertheless, your question was answered as part of post #7, which you should probably read.
In summary, there is currently no free solution to SIM unlock your Orange UK TyTnII. You can pay someone GBP 20 to do it for you: www.imei-check.co.uk/kaiser-unlock.php

WST 4.2.2 Unlock problem on E650

Hey Everybody,
I have a problem unlocking my Orange SPV E650 using Wizard Service Tool.
-Hard reset the device
-I copy CERT_spcs.cab and EnableRapi.cab to my device
-I install both files (CERT_Spcs.cab won't install: "not intended for this
device"?
-I open WST 4.2.2 and click "Repair IMEI".
-The "Repair IMEI-box" opens and show nothing (in both fields)
I've tried this with different ROM's (VOX, E650, S710).
I've also tried different "unlocking CAB's" (RemoveSecurity.cab, SdkCerts.cab)
I've also tried it with "Microsoft Security Configuration Manager" (this works)
Problems:
-I can't alter IMEI
-So, I can't unlock the phone from Orange
When I boot the phone in bootloader-mode it shows:
------------------------------
VOX WIFI
ONBL 1.35.0000 LG
VOX
------------------------------
SPL 1.35.0000
VOX IU
------------------------------
CPLD - 04
USB
------------------------------
I really don't understand what is wrong with this thing.
I have already unlocked a few S710's this way, and it worked flawlessly.
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong?
BTW: I have a good working (unlocked-) S710 laying around here.
Is it an option to make something like a "full backup" of that one,
and write it to the E650?
Thanks you for any help!
BR,
Bart

There is a unlock thread here, where it tells you what exactly you need to do. It comes with a small "donation" though.

Hi!
Thanks for the fast reply.
I have already unlocked so many phones, that I just won't have it that I cannot unlock this one for free; it's like a sport ;-)
Apart from that, I have already unlocked multiple phones of this (hardware-)
model, so I would really like to do it myself, with maybe a little bit of help.
I have already read all unlocking threads, and my problem is not mentioned, that is why I placed this post.
For money you can unlock anything, but it's just no fun... ;-)
BR,

Oh, OK I see your point. Just don't brick it...

LOL, I'll try not to... ;-)
Any hints on my problem?
Thanks in advance,
BR

as its an orange e650 -same as i have
i found i couldnt flash a new rom as it was locked
all i did first was install Orange debrand pack from Modaco forum and voila! lets you flash!!
maybe thats why you have unlocked other 710's as yours isnt a 710 yet its a E650!
hope that helps-worth a go

Hi,
Thanks for the input.
I'm not trying to flash a new ROM - that works.
I'm trying to sim unlock the phone...
BR
Bart

do you have uspl the phone?

What he tries has nothing to do with USPL. He tries to remove the SIM-Lock, which prevents you to use a different SIM-card.

Hello Frauhottelmann,
Thanks for sorting that out ;-)

New to ROM update, need help

Hi all,
I have read alot of your articles to update to WM 6.5. I have a Palm Treo 750I downloaded the CeetahUnlocker.exe and the Cheeimg.nbh. I ran the CeetahUnlocker.exe and clicked on the "Flash SPL" which after my second try worked fine. My phone boots with the Palm logo and not the AT&T logo it initially had. The other thing when I hold the media key and do a soft reset the phone enters the Bootloader program, therefore I think the "Flash SPL" went okay. The problem I am having is that the second step "Unlock Radio" does not work that is a ERROR message happens after the phone goes into the Bootloader mode. Can you guys tell me If my phone was unlocked to use my local carrier do I have to unlock the radio ect. Please help as this is becoming very fustrating.
thank you in advance
Anthony

Come on guys... anyone, someone pls help...

Hi, u just need to use the Athena_unlocker at that point to unlock ur carrier and thats it

I bought my phone unlock so do I still need to do this. Their are 2 Carrier in my country and I can use the simm card of anyone of them...

If your phone was unlocked, then you don't need to do it again. Flashing ROMs using Hard SPL will not change its status in that regard.

Can you tell me then the steps for updtaing to WM 6.5 please

Assuming you have correctly run the HardSPL, there are many threads in this section that describe how to flash a ROM, so there's no reason to re-hash the instructions yet again here.
Pick your preferred version of WM6.5 (keeping in mind they all still have major bugs) and flash it. If you don't like it, then keep trying until you find one you like.
The WM6.1 ROM is the most stable and bug free however, just as an FYI. The WM6.5 ROMs are fun to play with, but I wouldn't recommend them as a permanent install for most people unless the known bugs don't affect functions you regularly use.
