SPV M5000 How to unlock? Please Help

I m looking for info or software to unlock spv m5000. Its Orange simlock.
Do anybody know? How to unlock it? Please help me. Thank you for your help.
Regards
Denis

Hi Denis, welcome to the board.
Please read the posting rules located here.
There are many people in the same boat as yourself, we are all wondering how long it will be before someone has a software solution to the SIMLock.
The thread under the posting rules, second one down details the progress that our developers are making with this tool. It should be out this week.
If you can't wait that long you could always phone Orange and hand over £20 for the unlock code, or £40 to Motin on this board. There are websites that will require you to send your Uni off to them and they will do it the hard way.
Good luck with it.

SPV M5000 newbie - advice please

Hi everyone, I've just purchased an SPV M5000 off ebay and it should be with me on Wednesday. I've been reading up on this for a few hours but still have some questions which I'd appreciate some help with if you can.
I understand the Orange SPVM5000 is sim locked, is this true and how easy is it to unlock. I will be using this with an iBook and The Missing Sync software. I can use virtual PC if need be to flash the rom, but would I be better off going to a shop / market stall and paying a tenner?
My first question is: is the Orange branding as slow as the O2 Active branding? I'd hate it to be as slow as some reviews are saying.
I have read a lot about the corporate install option on the O2 XDA Exec, I presume this is available on the SPV M5000 as well - can someone please confirm? I have read that you need to enter the O2 connection settings on the Exec when you enter corporate mode, do you have to do this on the M5000 as well? If so can someone please post the settings?
If I flash the rom or debrand the phone, will I need to contact Orange to get GPRS & MMS re-enabled? They told me that they won't help me directly as I did not register the phone.
I am really looking forward to getting this but want to get it running at a good speed, so any assistance would be gratefull received.

First I would like to say you made a great choice going with Windows Mobile. After my first device I considered myself a spokesperson for WM.
I also had an Orange SPV M5000 in the past and if you call them up they will give you the unlock code. The free way would be to get Buzz_Lightyears sim unlock tool available from his website buzzdev.net
If you feel confident enough you can do everything to the phone yourself, but as it is a very expensive unit you have think twice about doing any flashing to the phone.
My o2 active UI was very slow, and only got slower as more programs were open. The orange one responds a bit faster, but I dont know many people who keep the original stuff on there anyway. There are so many programs out there that can do alot more.
I do not believe there is a corporate mode install on the Orange version but you dont need any connection settings anyway.
Once you get the phone you will have to configure the network settings for MMS and GPRS yourself. I notice that u have are with fido as I am, but am pretty sure the settings will be different since you are in the states.
You can try these setting for GPRS and see if they work:
APN: wap.fido.ca (or mayb .com)
USER: fido
PASS: fido
Your last question about speed is that there are so many programs out there that enable you to do what you want but you have to keep in mind that each open program slows the phone down so you have to make a compromise somewhere.
Hope this helps

Thank you very much for your help. I set my profile up wrong initially when I registered on here, I am actually in the UK and will probably use an Orange SIM for the phone, so I don't really need to unlock it I guess.
I would like to change the software though, could you tell me what settings I will need to enter and where (I will find the actual values for Orange UK)?
Many thanks
James

Hey,
if you do a little research on this forum and its wiki it's not hard to find the methods to reflash your Universal with another provider ROM. If this is what you mean by debrand
Take a look here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method

Good luck!

Yes it is possible to have ROM of ur choice to ne same model , and it is not at all a complicated process its just a same procedure as u upgrade ur device with ur official ROM with some added 2-3 steps and thats it .

HTC Niki Original Roms & Debranding

Hey guys i need some help,
I'm looking for the latest original roms for my HTC Niki P500 (Touch Dual) on the UK Orange network.
Does anyone know where i can get the latest original debranded roms.
Also where can i get an unlocking code for the HTC Niki.
thanks in advance

Hi there, I used OliPro's Nike Unlocker (which I googled) to unlock my HTC Touch Dual on Orange UK. It cost £5.40 but is well worth it IMO. I now have an O2 sim card in it.
What network do you want to use on the phone? You'll have to let me know how the signal is when using a SIM from a new network.

How did unlocking it go?

Unfortunalty i didn't get it unlocked, but i'm still trying to find official Roms for the device to either debrand or upgrade to WinMo 6.1.
Tried contacting HTC and got no information what so ever and Orange customer services guided me through the process of finding the relevent Orange webpage but the Handset isn't listed.
so i'm back to square one!!
thanx anyway

Hi there Robbiejuk08
I am new to this forum and have never seen a forum like this before for people asking questions and not getting any reply. Anyway as far as I know you need to get phone unlocked first. Then you will need a serial number from a generic htc. In other words one that has came from htc and not orange or any other operators. Then you go to the htc site and you will be able to upgrade phone with the generic serial number. But as I have found out it is impossiable to get generic serial number in the forums as people just are not prepared to give you their serial number.

Hahaha, I pushed the thank you button for you,
First of all, welcome,
It's great that you are willing to help people, that is the spirit, but unfortunaly this post was more then two years old
But you did it with the right intention so thumbs up.
Have fun,
