does anyone know how to unlock this puppy?
it is an spv c550 also known as the hurricane
thx in advance
All the info you need is here: http://www.modaco.com/INFO_Decert_SIM_Unlock_C550-t222786.html
Works like a charm on mine.
well the problem is i cannot run apps from the phone bc i dont have an orange simcard (and it is locked by orange)
any ideas?
Talk to Orange, pay them money, they will unlock for you.
uh huh thats why we are all here right
id rather donate it to xda developer
tried an orange sim card but it appears to stay locked!! :shock: does the orange sim card have to be from the same country as the phone?
ok i swiftly turned on the flight mode now i can browse
yep that made all the difference phone is unlocked now
editing
hi i just got one on upgrade what do you changr the values to ???????
what values?
I used info at http://www.modaco.com/INFO_Decert_SIM_Unlock_C550-t222786.html
used the registry editor to change values to
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 1 (RAPI)
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40 (Cert)
which I assume unlocked security ( as culd not do online)
then used file from http://www.spv-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=236
yeah and didnt it work??
Having trouble...
Ok , edited the registry settings and that worked out ok, downloaded the SPV Developers Services Kit , extracted all the files to my desktop. made sure active synch connection is alive, Orange Simcard inserted. I run the simlock function , request pops up on the phone , agree and then i get
Unknown error -2147467259 in read operation in the SPV Developers Services
any suggestions ? I tried hard resetting my phone and tried again , but same result..dunno really
edit : doh , 5 more minutes and i wouldnt have had to post .. The Cert.Cab included in the SPV Dev. Serv. Kit has to be executed from the phone b4 you can run the unlock tool. NFO file with these instructions would be useful but heh beggars cant be choosers....Working !!!!!!!
how did you turn on the flight mode without card?
you have to press the on button really quickly, as the phone is still booting

Thank you... I got my codes very quickly ...
Thanks POF, my 8525 is unlocked, but I have gone through hell with Vista so just to let you all know that "don't try these upgrades on VISTA".
I have read many posts and finally got it to unlock. In any case, here is what I did (on a XP box with activeSYNC 4.2 - it is running all the time for each of the steps below):
1) on XP, connect the phone to XP and make sure ActiveSync see the phone. Run the exe in 1.30 ROM for Cingular to download the SPL to 1.04. After this the phone will reboot/restart itself.
2a) On XP, with ActiveSync running and connected, run POF's MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe within the unlocker v2a xip file to upgrade the radio to version 1.16. If it fails with ERROR 114, go to step (3); else go to step (2b).
2b) If the first time failed, DON'T TOUCH THE PHONE. Run the exe again and the second time should run fine. There is a 114 error at the end and it is OK. Once you get the 114 error, soft-reset the phone before next step.
3) On the phone, flash with POF's unlocker (v2a) ON THE PHONE MEMORY HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe (in the zip file same as above download for unlock v2a). There is a success notice at the end.
That is it. Hope this help someone.

And what about the CID matching
Good for you! Tomorrow I´ll be picking up my 8525 and I´am anxious to unlock it and strat using it, in preparation I´ve been reading throughout the forum and looks for me that it was very simple for you (except for the issues caused by Vista). I was wondering if you had to check the CID in your device or if you just went blind into the procedure regardless the CID inconveniences?
Why don't 8525 users simply call cingular for the subsidy unlock code? Its cleaner, faster, and there is no risk to brick'ing your phone.
I really don't get it.
Just followed your steps and it worked for me as well. The first time I ran MaUpgradeUt_noID it failed with a 112 country code. But like you said, run it the second time and it worked.
Just popped my tmobile sim in and am going to install blackberry connect because that sim has by BES enabled and see what happens
Thanks much!!

I asked the rep in the cingular store, they lie to me, telling me just call the 611 customer support number and they will unlock me. So, it is a company phone and I said fine.
I have been cingular for years and I will definitely switch to TMOBILE once this expire! I had tmobile before and they just require me to be with them for 90 days before I call.
About the 611 call, they ask me to join the $6.99/mo global travelling plan.

I have SIM from all the places I have been to and once a non-singular SIM inserted into the phone, there is a pop-up a screen asking for UNLOCK CODE.

All you have to say is you're travelling outside the United States and wish to use the phone with a different sim. They will do it right there and then, or they will log a ticket to have some other group do it. It can be had instantly, just a matter of whether the rep you talk to have access to that system. The unlock code is based off of your IMEI number.
I think there is a number in the wiki page that connects you directly to their roaming group of some sort. I just dialed 611 and they emailed it to me the next day without any additional plan.
You'll simply roam on other carrier if cingular network isn't found.

That is what exactly I said.... I have 3 other phones with Cingular before and they all unlocked the same way. I think they just mess up on this one this time.
hey ya'll, so I followed these steps and everything works except for now, the backlight on the slideout keyboard no longer turns on -- any suggestions on what to do now?
no cingular unlock code can SuperCID your 8525 however...
I worked for me
andykwg : Thank You!
Having your post as a starting point and after a lot of reading through out the threads I suceed to unlock my 8525 spl 1.06.
I found a couple of issues during the unlock
1.- After 2% progress I got an Error # 262 (Update Error) so I had to get into the recovery procedure, but it was very easy and finally I downgraded to ROM 1.30.502.1
2.- During the Radio Patch flash I got the Error # 120 (Country Error), but as you instructed I only had to rerun the exe and at the end I got the expected Error # 114
Thnk you and pof, I guess I wouldn´t dare if I had read your post.....
I see that you can't do this in VISTA.
Has anyone tried in Windows XP x64 yet?
Thanks,

RUU.dll error when I run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
So I downgraded from SPL 1.06 to SPL 1.04
I syched.
I tried to run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and I get this error:
"This application has failed to start because RUU.dll was not found. Re-intalling the application may fix this problem.
I searched the threads looking for this error with no luck. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
8525 owner running XP Pro

SAME here... Please HELP ASAP!
For those with errors please ensure your rom firmware and you follow the steps to the letter.
I love my 8525 i just wish they gave a cover, it gets messy on the screen.
Worked for me as well.
Thanks! Followed your instructions to the letter, now mine is unlocked and superCID! No issues and running T-Mobile now.

You are not SuperCID.
Run the new Pof unlocker/SUPERCID version 3.

Do a search on the forum before you post.
This problem occured to several users, there fore equinoxe have had a special RUU from Mun in his HardSPL thread.
Try that RUU, it should work
Thank you. But what could be the problem with SIM??

did you sim unlock your phone? if not thats most likely the problem
I didnt, cause the phone didnt show me> Enter the code for unlock. The foreign Sim worked without entering the pin code. LOL
HEY man, i saw in the post of sSPL that when you was trying to start the START-sSPL.exe, you cant because cecopy.exe was doing an issue, but what did you do for solve this problem??
P.D: Sorry for my english
