Software unlocking SPV and SPV E100 smartphones after latest update
December 09, 2003 [MS Smartphone] | By anonymous 1.

The old method of unlocking with fast exchange of XML files during start up is not working.

SPV unlock
(on picture above: after succesfull unlocking, screen with content as above should pop up on display of your SPV or SPV E100 smartphone)

The only method is...

... to go to Orange Group developer site here and fill in the web form. After specifying your email address, name, phone number and IMEI (type *#06# on the keypad to see your IMEI) - you press OK button and Orange is sending a binary SMS to your smartphone. This binary SMS is invoking unlocking process and shows the page as on the picture above.

Please note:
  • software unlocking works for sure only for owners of SIM cards from Orange; it may not work for owners of other SIM cards, even if they have original Orange smartphone, not some Qtek or other (example: it works for O2 UK SIM cards but not for O2 Germany SIM cards)
  • it is possible to unlock with use of GPRS but also with connection to the Internet through "passthrough Internet connection" in ActiveSync
  • if you are not sure if the unlocking will be working with your SIM card: donīt do the update!
  • upgrade works on non-Orange Tanagers (like Qtek 7070 or i-mate) but software unlocking may not work (see above)
  • if your SPV or SPV E100 was SIM unlocked before update, then the SIM unlock will not disappear - it will stay SIM unlocked
