Has anyone managed to unlock there m600 and if you have how did you manage it. I have tried all the things suggested on the forum and still no luck with the sim unlocking.
On a different topic, i managed to unhide the extended rom only to find that there was nothing in it. Does anyone know where the install files are stored. Looking at the reg implies that there may be a partion that is hidden with them on.
Any ideas
Right, let me get this straight...
"Lockiwiz can only unlock your Prophet device if your Rom version is 1.XX.XXX. For the new AKU2 ROMS (i.e Orange M600 ROM) there is no solution yet."
If this is the case, then can we use A-Wizard or the hacked romupdateutility to FLASH back to a pre-AKU2 ROM and then use Lokiwiz to unlock the device, and then flash back to a 'latest AKU2 ROM' (Dopod one is latest and greatest atm) and continue to have a SIM UNLOCKED device???
Please can someone try this? I get my M600 in a week and need to be able to unlock it. Am in the USA atm and need to use a T-Mobile SIM in it.
Appreciate any help.

There are so many threads regarding flashing any flavors of Typhoon to WM5 or downgrade from WM5 to any ROM of choice.
I have looked everywhere and did not find anything regarding flashing a US model SMT5600 from ATT to Cingular and vice versa. I have try to use SD flash method and upon pressing down volume key, I got a Not allow error message.
Can anyone please help...
i would like to do this, where would i find the cingular rom at?
I have not found a Cingular spacific Rom for that phone, Are you useing WM05? if not I have a location where you can D/L the wm05 rom, as far as the cingular stuff, what where you looking for in the Cingular part? ringtones, Picks or just the settings?
If you want the WM05 rom d/l from here.(reg might be required)

Ive recently got my xda back after getting drunk and breaking the screen now i have it back in my hands (tightly) i want to use it with my vodafone sim card, If i upgrade to WM5 will that unlock my phone or will i still have go through the unlock procedure
Thanks
xdaIIi is called alpine and cant use xdaII roms (called himalaya)
i realised that after posting but i cant move the thread, i figured that it would be the same principal, upgrading the rom, does it unlock the phone.
not even expert on unlocking as i never had a locked phone but i believe
that unlocking is no related with rom updates
(unless ppl have an wallaby device and use the very old specal rom for it)
unlocking is a program run on the pc while the pda is connected or run on the device
what you are to do of those 2 options you should read in XDA-WIKI up in the menu so click there and find your device and see what it says
also flashing ones device with a new rom cant lock ones pda again as far as i know
Hey everyone, I have a Audiovox branded Cingular SMT5600 phone with the original factory ROM on it. Today I turned it on and it is just sitting with the three color bars and is stuck. Is there anyone out there that has a working link to the original Cingular ROM for 2003SE that can with the phone? I want to restore it to factory. i have never flashed it or unlocked it, so I am afraid if I just try and load a WM5 or WM6 ROM on it as it is not unlocked I will be in a worse situation so that is why I want to load the factory original. Any help would be great!!!
i found the .BN file in the forum's on this site, thanks! Anyone tell me how to flash the backup rom in the .BIN format to my phone?
never mind, I figured out the Camera button was stuck on my phone. A simple disassembly and adjustment of the housing fixed it!! Thanks to the forums!
Hello all
As usuall we newbies tend to gravitate towards these great expert forums in hours of need. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'v been trying to get my old SPV M3100 to work with my new Three UK sim,
Iv run all the unlocking software and upgraded the ROM and radio with no error messages at all, yet everytime i try my Three UK sim in the SPV M3100 I get a SIMLOCK message and it greyed out so I can go no further.
My current setup is:
ROM Version 3.54.255.3
Radio Version 1.48.00.10
I wondering if it was the origonal unlocking that failed or weather the Three UK sim is just not working this phone.
Please excuse my ignorance, I've had a good root around the forum to see if anyone else has had this problem but I cant really find anything on it.
Cheers
have you tried this?

thats where I started, I ran the software from my SD card and then ran the herm-unlock v3 after windows restored.
The very fact you've mentioned that probo means I've done it wrong I'll have to try again, I know it didn't work straight off from the USB connection, so I'll try the usb route again.
Hello all, I got a O2 XDA EXEC in post today which I bought off Ebay for £30 which only ended up having a scratched screen! I have installed radio ROM 0.00.00 and then used Buzz's unlocker twice which said it unlocked but doesent take my Vodafone sim which is all I have at the moment. I then installed radio ROM 1.18 hopeing it will work but it dident!
So I decided to install Tomal's - v8.2: WM6.1 Pro havent had a good look at it yet but looks good!.
If anyone can tell me a way of getting this Vodafone sim to work that would be great!

Hi,
you have to remove the sim and switch the airplane mode OFF BEFORE the entire procedure. Remember to soft reset the device after running the Buzz unlock tool, so, these are the steps, flash the radio 0.00.0, soft reset, run the tool and wait the succesful message, soft reset and wait that it switch-on, NOW remove the battery, insert your sim and switch on again. In this way it must work, I've unlocked 3 universal with that tool.

Hello davideuck, That was the way I tried it but tried it 3 times again with no joy, The radio searches for a few seconds then comes up with no service. I am starting to wonder if this uni is going to receive any signal from any sim?? Like my M5000 before but that had no GSM which this one does have GSM.
Ok I have managed to get a new O2 sim card which I have put in the uni which does the same as the Vodafone sim... Nothing just has no service but does search for a signal every so often.
I have installed RADIO ROM 1.18 instead of the 0.00.00 and still does not receive a signal.
Im stuck now Is there any reason why this does this or is it never going to get a signal?
I have just phoned O2 to find out if my uni's blocked? not that they done any test but because I have tried 2 sims which work in other phones but not this one they say the problem is with the phone.
So looks like I have 2 useless uni's? Would I be able to repair the EXEC with parts from my M5000? ( M5000 had no GSM ) I have no idea what I would need to do but will try anything to get this working!
Would the O2 XDA EXEC original ROM sort this problem? This was already installed when I had it but dident work with Vodafone sim after unlocking.

I have installed the original O2 ROM which made no difference so went back to WM6.1.
I think there is something wrong internally?
