Been trying everything on the Internet and managed to make some headway with Monet (Virgin Lobster 700tv) unlock (this might work for Meteor/C700 as well).
1. Firstly you need to get rid of the 'registry security policy' lock.
Download cert install sp.zip:
[see attachment]
a. copy "SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab" to the root of Monet memory or card
b. Use file explorer on monet to navigate to file. Click to run. Should run ok.
c. Unzip "SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip" on PC and run "SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe" whilst Monet is connected via activesync
2. Copy registry editor onto Monet. I used PHM, but others should work. Note install PHM loader on PC whilst monet is connected via activesync. It might install correctly on Monet, it might not. This does not matter. Just navigate on your PC to Program Files\phm and find the .exe file and copy to root of Monet memory or card.
Also nice free remote registry editor here (works from PC whilst phone is connected via activesync):
http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
Excellent 'free' combined file explorer and registry editor (perhaps for later - after app. unlock) SGS:
http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...925777&Ntt=registry&productId=195244&R=195244
3. Using phm (or the registry app you like) change the four keys specified in this guide (you might find the above process has already reset 1001 and 101b:
http://wiki.spv-developers.com/HTC_Application_Unlock_Guide
They are:
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies:
a. Change the DWORD named "1001" to 1 (could originally be 2)
b. Change the DWORD named "1005" to 40 (could originally be 16)
c. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1017 = 128 or 16 (before) 144 (after)
d. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 101b = 1 (this key might not exist, if so, create it).
4. Restart
5. HOORAY. Now your phone is fully application unlocked.
-----the following procedure is to SIM Unlock, this currently does not work. Possibly spv-services will be updated at some time to work with the Monet---->
6. Now download spv_services:
http://www.spv-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=236
a. copy the cert.cab file to you Monet. Select and run using File explorer. it should run fine.
b. Next step. Run SPV_services from PC whilst phone still connected via Activesync. Should unlock ..... however I get checksum error....
Will investigate. Anyone have any luck please say. At least we can now get the phone app.unlocked.
------------------------->
Note: I have read that the phone might again become app.locked if you do a hard reset. If this is the case, just follow the above again.

SPV-Services needs to access the internet.
A php is an active type of web page.
It would appear that there is something blocking it from access the internet. Most probably a firewall on your PC, either the internal windows one, or a 3rd party package you have installed. You need to check this.
If its for the Monet I wouldn't bother anyhow as SPV-Services can not currently SIMunlock this phone.

1st thing i checked was the firewall..
i know wat a php is i run a phpbb forum and yea it is a Monet (lobster 700)..
shame ( i really need to unlock the networks on it ) i have an O2 sim and wen i put it in it askes for a network unlock code.. if only i had that code.. any idea how to obtain it?
the only way currently is to use virgin or a commercial service
If you put at least £30 of talk time on your virgin account, they will send you the unlock code for free.
Otherwise search google or this forum for a commercial unlocking service.

Application Unlock for HTC Monet
Hi colonel
I have been trying in vain to do an application unlock on my Lobster 700tv. I have managed to install and run the "SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab" which went ok. The "SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe" also ran ok. However, running PHM required a copy to be placed on the Monet which I did. Attempting to run the "setup.exe", gave the following message:
"ALERT: Setup is Not a Valid Windows CE Application"
Because of this, I attempted to change the registry keys using "Mobile Registry Editor.exe" which seemed to do the job. However, applications still wont work (I'm trying to install TomTom Navigator 6).
I have since managed to load and run "MobileRegistryEditor.exe" on my phone without problems but I still cannot get TomTom Navigator 6 to run, although it loads onto the storage card ok.
Please can you help?
Regards,
leadweight

Used a couple of reg editors but when u change the values the phone comes back "Unable to perform this operation".
I also used the HTC unlocker which came back with the same message.
Lobster headache
Hi bocsta
I had problems to start with but I had failed to read colonel's instructions correctly. I couldn't get PHM to run on my phone so I tried some of colonel's other suggestions. I found that "SGS Explorer" did load ok and I used its registry editor to change the registry keys as listed. I am assuming that my phone is now unlocked but TomTom Navigator 6 will not run.
Can someone please help before I throw my lobster back in the sea?
Regads .....

Ok gang i have been lurking around for a while and im finally deciding to upgrade my phone. for my short background, i have done this on my old magician (once) and a friends t-mobile magician (once) as well, but now i want all the new gadgets and speed for my hermes. for the record i am currently a Cingular/ATT customer living in Orlando, FL where there is great 3G coverage.
here is what i have:
herm100
ipl 1.01
spl 1.06
ROM version 1.34.502.1
ROM date 09/21/06
Radio version 1.16.00.00
Protocol version 32.53.70.18.01H (i am not sure what this one means though...)
here is what i am planning to do (in the exact order of which i will run them so if my order isnt right please tell me):
HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a
Hard-SPL-V7.rar package
HERM_Radinly_1.43.00.00_CustomRUU.rar (unless anyone thinks the 46 or 47 version would be better for ATT in my area)
Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v2.0_ATT.rar
CVSD_1.2_061226.rar
HomePlugIn_1.6.0.0.rar
vp3G_v2.0_CommManager.rar *edit* (yes i know the comm manager must be closed for this one too) *edit*
vp3G_v2.0_StreamingMedia_PATCH.rar
XM_Radio.rar (may install this later)
MobiTV .rar (may install this later)
TCPMP_v0.72RC1.exe
ac3.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
flac.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
ffmpeg.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
vorbislq.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
and that should be it i hope!!!! also, i think i remember needing a codec to play xvids through tcpmp but i cannot find anything that i have archived on my computer... so if anyone has that please let me know.
if there are any other precautionary measures that i can take PLEASE let me know. i 'somewhat' understand how the hardspl works, is that the only protection i have? should i clear up my phones memory? i doubt there is anything like a 'scandisk' or anything for the type of memory the phone uses but i just want to be 1000000% sure that this flash will be successful thats all. thanks guys up front for a great community and any help is GREATLY appreciated.
yeah, do HardSPLv7 first... Then do the Unlocker... then do whatever you want.

No do the unlocker first...it loads HardSPL (1.40.oli) onto the device....it will downgrade the SPL if you run it second.
Once that is done...load HardSPLv7 onto it.
Then follow the list you said.
great!! i just wanted to verify that my particular build (i know there are herm100, 200 and 300 now) would fit the bill.
few more quick q's...
if i ever wish to, can this phone be put back to factory settings and be completely untraceable, or am i making permanent changes to the spl?
also as far as i am aware, overclocking is not available (hopefully i can use the word 'yet' here ) for my device is this correct?
lastly- without outlook (on my computer), is there any way to back up my contacts. not just the sim card, i mean email addresses and everything? i am sure there are some encrypted files somewhere on the device that i can just manually copy and paste when i am done.
and after that, ill be flashing it all over and post the results.. and thanks both of you for the quick responses!!! i will do the unlocker first, thanks for deterring me from that hiccup

OK.....i will answer these qs but you do need to read the wiki so you DEFINATLY understand the different aspects of the hermes...
The device can be downgraded to normal (like factory settings)....see the guides in my sig for more info.
Overclocking....dont even bother...the restriction is in the ROM....later ROMs use the cpu much better.
If you want to backup contacts etc...either use PIMBackup (search this forum for it) or get an exchange account which will sync contacts/emails/tasks etc..
the IPL is still 1.01, can this be upgraded or does it not make a difference?
ok i am trying to run Hard-SPL-V7...
when i run the file 'RUUWrapper' on my mobile device i get this message:
"File or assembly nme 'System, Version 2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089,' or one of its dependancies, was not found."
I just installed microsoft.net framework 2.0
from what the previous screens told me, the SIM and CID unlock was successful and my current IPL is 1.4 from using the programs in 'HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a.rar'
please help!!!!!
**edit**
Sorry, that is when i try to run it from the phone itself. when i run it on the computer it says 'The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.

You need to install ALL the latest .net framework packages from Microsoft on your PC, the file is meant to run on your pc NOT your hermes.
you guys are the best and so is this site!!!
last question...
i downloaded the 'vp3G's WM6 v2.0' ROM and added the patch for 'vp3G_v2.0_StreamingMedia_PATCH.cab ' but i still cannot watch videos on youtube or any site of the likes? the page gives me an error saying 'Hello, you either have Javascript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.'
i cannot find java or macromedia that works on windows mobile... what can i use??? i am finding some stuff on javaME but nothing i can comprehend or download...
lol, when I tried to do the Unlocker first it temp-bricked my phone.. I had to reflash old rom, then run hardspl then the unlocker in that order.
Use google and search for 'Flash Player for Pocket PC'
it will give you the link to Adobe Flash Player
Hi,
I really want to install the Alltel ROM on my Sprint Mogul. I've searched around and didn't come up with anything, so can someone more knowledgeable on the subject tell me if this is a good idea, or if it's begging to have my phone bricked:
I downloaded the Alltel ROM and extracted its NBH contents using nbhextract. The CID is set to ALLTE001.
I also downloaded the newest Sprint ROM and extracted its NBH contents. That one's CID is set to SPCS_001.
Can I use nbhgen to change the CID of the Alltel ROM to Sprint's?
*edit: Nevermind. Gave this a shot and just got an error from RUU.
Um, yeah you will get an error. And, why are you trying this in the first place?
I use Cricket for my service. I've gotten everything except incoming MMS to work, and the problem is with how Sprint's Data Provisioning is nested in the Mogul's Sprint ROM. There are IOTA settings in the registry, but I really have no idea about how to modify them since Cricket doesn't require any data provisioning.
On my 6700, ArcSoft would automatically dial the connection I had specified in the settings when an MMS arrived. Now, it attempts to connect to Power Vision, and I get an IOTA error about how the device failed to connect to Power and I should contact Sprint. I know that the Alltel ROM would not have these problems.
Another idea that I had was to completely replace my current registry with Alltel's (I have a complete dump), but I'm not too sure how to go about doing that, either. When I restore the file with PHM, the Sprint and Alltel settings just coexist with eachother.
If you have any ideas or suggestions here, they'd be appreciated.
my understanding of crickets data services was that they use simple ip and a proxy for http. have you changed the mogul to use simple ip? i think all you really need is a way of stopping an IOTA aka "vision profile update"
Exactly, but I'm not sure how to go about stopping that. My latest venture is to get someone with an Alltel PPC6800 to take a full SPB backup of the registry, so that their settings will overwrite all of Sprint's.
Do you know of a way to disable IOTA?

delete the guardian file in Windows startup - then delete the IOTA folder - in program files.. this is what I did to make the mogul work on Alltel before they launched the 6800. I also went through the registry and deleted a couple of IOTA registry keys.. I can't remember where they were though.. Finally, I deleted the error 67 notification in the registry and everything worked perfectly..
Now that the Hard SPL for the device is out you can install the alltel rom directly from the exe after the hard spl is installed.
Yeah I got this going a few days ago. MMS is working perfectly now!
I ran Olipro's unlocker and popped the Alltel ROM WITH the ExtROM and everything works WITHOUT any special consideration. You could say that it "worked straight out the box".
Now the qyestions are 1) now that I've unpacked the RUU_signed.nbh, how do I repack it, and 2) where is the extended rom in the unpacked nbh? I guess these are the big questions for getting Mogul kitchens together and cooking ROMs.
Yeah the Alltel ROM is running pretty well. Definitely an improvement over the stock sprint ROM. Not a huge difference, but it's definitely worth the upgrade until we get some ROM Kitchens/Heavily Modified/Improved ROMs.
don't u guys miss java support?
I can't run opera mini anymore once I switched to Alltel...
Install Esmertec Cloudyfa Java it's better than the builtin on Sprint. Saving space if anything
so how do i get the alltel rom on my sprint mogel? if i am with sprint

go to ppc geeks and check out the 6800 forum.
instructions are at the top.
Is there a memory difference at all between the 2? If so, what is best to go with? What is the advantage to the Alltel one over the Sprint?...Sorry...kinda a n00b...but not really...lol
hate not having mms - flashin alltel now thanks guys!
RESOLVED:
if you are unable to use phone codes (like I was) then you are probably an idiot, just like I am. Go back to DCD's original post and make sure to install a Carrier ROM (linked to very clearly in his first post).
Many thanks to Santehnik for providing a workaround and to GC14 for providing the actual solution.
###################################################################
I just flashed to the new 3.1.6 and am unable to access the phone codes (e.g. ##775#).
I tried entering it into the dialer (as well as ##DIAG#, ##DEBUG#, etc...) numerous times. Resetting my device and trying again. No love.
I also tried running \windows\EPST.lnk and \windows\EPST.exe. What appears to happen is that the program appears to load for 1/2 second and then disappear (presumably it is crashing, though I dont know for sure).
I re-downloaded the ROM on a different machine and reflashed my Titan, but it made no difference.
I also tried installing the Phone Codes .cab which adds phone codes to your Programs Menu, but those links do the exact same thing as the EPST.lnk (something flashes for 1/2 second and then is gone).
I have the Sprint Carrier Cab (3.39.10) installed and i'm on PRI Version 2.03_003 and I can make phone calls.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?
Here are what the codes link to:
##778 = ..\Windows\EPST.exe ##778
#33284 = ..\Windows\FieldTrial.exe
#3424 = ..\Windows\DMRouter.exe /DIAG
#38278 = ..\Windows\Fuart.exe Fuart
~~~~~~~~~
Note to self, add that info to the Wiki plus a link to an archive of WM links to execute those functions.
bob, what dialer do you have installed?
First of all use ##778CALL (instead #)
And put files from zip into windows folder.
For me this works
p.s can you send Phone Codes.cab to santehnik.ua""gmail.com
I can't find it
For all of those I need 2 # key presses for them to work. I'm using DCD 3.16 w/ radio 3.39 if it makes a difference.
Also what the heck is fast uart mode? (##38278)
Here are what the codes link to:
* ##778 = ..\Windows\EPST.exe ##778
* #33284 = ..\Windows\FieldTrial.exe
* #3424 = ..\Windows\DMRouter.exe /DIAG
* #38278 = ..\Windows\Fuart.exe Fuart
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Key two things:
1. FieldTrial, DMRouter, and Fuart are ##33284, ##3424, and ##38278 respectfully.
2. You should point out that for Sprint, there's an extra # at the end instead of pressing Send. (ex. ##778#)

I have the default dialer installed. I am using the "stock" DCD 3.1.6 ROM. I havent installed ANYTHING since i reflashed. I dont even have my SD card popped in. It's as clean as you could ask for.
I tried using ##775[CALL] and it does exactly what clicking on EPST.lnk does - it flashes for 1/2 second and then disappears.

Ok are you sure you installed the sprint carrier cab? 3.39.10 is the radio NOT the carrier cab.
Also on Sprint you have to add a # to the end of the codes. ##775# with NO send. ##775 send is for other carriers.
I hate to break it to you, but those files that "resolved" your problem are IN the sprint carrier cab.

You are correct that I incorrectly identified the radio cab as the carrier cab. However, I did an install of the Sprint Carrier Cab (that's how I got the radio). It was the one from the wiki that says it includes radio 3.39.10. You can find it here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=26119.
Also, I have to press ##775[CALL] in order to get to the PRL screen (as was suggested). Hitting ##775# does nothing. I followed all the instructions. It used to work for me on my previous build (DCD 3.0.4 and Radio 3.35) as ##775# but not since the upgrade.
Either way, copying those 2 files (which did not get installed by the sprint carrier cab) and using ##775[CALL] seems to work just fine.
You can "hate to break it to me" till you're blue in the face that it shouldnt be that way, but that doesnt change the fact that it is. I have no incentive to lie.

Ok, first of all, I only say this stuff because if I had a dime for every person who doesn't read dcd's first post in his kitchen thread, I'd be a millionaire.
You did NOT install the Sprint Carrier Cab. You installed the Sprint Update Rom to get the radio. Again, that is not the Sprint Carrier Cab that is required for 3.1.6.
The reason you have to use ##775 send and not ##775# like all other Sprint customers, is because you did not install your carrier cab. Without the cab, it defaults to ##775 send.
It worked on 3.0.4 because a carrier cab was not required, instead you picked your carrier in the kitchen.
Lastly, copying those files might have "fixed" your ability to get to EPST or DMRouter, but not the correct way. Also, there are other very important files other than those that you are missing.
Click on dcd's 3.1.6 kitchen thread and read the ENTIRE first post.
Thank you GC. I have installed the Carrier Cab and updated the original post.

Step 3: MMS!
What you need:
a. Android SDK---
b. Modified Telephony.db --
c. Have Eris phone flashed for talk text and web (see above if you have not done this).
1. Unzip android sdk to a place where you can find it (the shorter the directory name the better as you will soon see. Mine is saved in C:\android
Also unzip the telephony.db into a folder where you can find it. Mine is saved in C:\android
2. In windows xp click start, then run, then type cmd and hit enter. In Vista or windows 7 click start and type cmd in the search and hit enter.
3. Navigate to the folder where you unzipped the Android SDK. If you are not familiar with the command prompt, I will make a list of the commands I enter in blue. The rest you see will be the text that will be generated by the command prompt: CD the directory of adb!!! ex. type cd hit space the drag the tools folder into cmd window. now you can adb push/adb pull etc.
4. Type the Following command
C:\android\tools>adb root
* daemon started successfully *
adbd is running as root
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Send the Modified telephony.db to the phone with the following command (keep in mind that you will need to substitute the directory I am using for the one where your telephony.db file is located
C:\android\tools> adb push c:\android\telephony.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
85 KB/s (4096 bytes in 0.046s)
6. Unplug your Phone and hold the power button to turn it off. Turn it back on and there you go!
some roms arent allowing the telephony.db to work giving 245kb/s or any other like 130kb/s.
My advice is if you get one to work, do a Nandroid back up, so you will always have a working web browser and MMS.

Your instructions/title look exactly like Brandonharrison's post on howard forums, if you got the instructions from him it may be nice to give him credit Also you may want to change the words "Hero" to "eris" since this is an eris guide also you can skip the part about spc unlocking from CDMA WS, since the eris comes factory with spc of 000000.
Anyways if your tracking the thread on howard you can update the web portion, to what i posted to get full market and apps working, credit goes to the team at howard forums who worked on getting it working for the motodroid. i simply modified their work so that it would work on the eris.
As promised here is a zip file containing 2 flashable zips:
One will handle the OS side to get Web/MMS up and running
The other will only do the web portion (Some people don't have good luck with the MMS that i did)
Download from the attachment below, or from here:

As always, make a nandroid backup first
download the zip and read the readme inside for instructions

Feel free to delete everything after step 2 substep 14 and replace with my instructions if you wish, to simplify the process for any new comers. (we are working to get this edited in brandons post over at howard currently since he can no longer edit his post)
as promised here is a single flashable zip that will hande the os side to get web/mms up and running

so does the same process work for metro pcs and where can i get those files
Should work with any carrier so long as you know the proxy information and apn settings, in my zip you can modify the autostart.sh file and change the port numbers and ip addresses to match your carrier, then you can edit the apn to match your carriers settings as well and you should be good.
Im working on getting one for metro for you all, but i dont have all the info required and iv been busy with work, its really simple to do, i just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Sorry about that, i reuploaded the file as well as modified the attatchment.
Use at your own risk, there are 2 flashes inside the zip, one for web and one for Web+mms, some people cant get the MMS to work, works fine for me, but not sure why it doesnt work for others.
Make a nandroid backup first as always and feel free to mod it however you want
You don't need QPST, and it is in fact easier WITHOUT QPST
You don't need Windows Vista or Windows 7 (or windows at all).
Thank you for your contribution for this community.
I posted a thread for full functionality as well, with a different methodology.
And "flash" is a misnomer. All of the kids who think they're cool "flashing" phones to cricket don't even know what they're saying.
This phone can be all but fully PROGRAMMED for Cricket, and the "flashing" part is just to save you time transferring iptables to the phone.

Your little thread needs some help don't flame in my post.... if your going to create a flash solution. ..please edit it fully like I made an attempt to do. And not just say "follow instructions from HF" that was pretty wack!

qpst wont read my phone any thoughts or links?
i tried everything
You don't need, QPST.
Just open up your phone, then dial ##778 (call).
ALL of the settings you need to edit in QPST are available in your phone's built in program, EPST.

bigslanki,
No flaming intended. I was being serious when I said thank you for your contribution. All I've done is copied and pasted things from other sources that have worked for me as I've tried them. I should edit it more fully and maintain it better. Thank you for your suggestion.
I haven't used QPST since the days of ##778 on this phone, and I was only suggesting that less tech-savvy people, who may have trouble getting QPST working just right in Windows, might have an easier time without it.
All is well. Thank you, seriously, for your contribution.
What is the newest/easiest way?
Looks like alot of advancements have been made in the last 3 or 4 months to make the process easier. Is this thread still the best way to get an eris setup on Cricket with full functionality?
Please help out a noob! I've read so many posts, tried so may methods...I think I am SOOOOO close! But I just can't get the web/mms working.
Thanks!
Will this work for HTC Incredible? I seem to be stuck. *228 calls cricket but a voice says they can not program my phone. I have tried nearly ALL the prl files for cricket available on the link. I can call 611 from it also and speak to a csr but that was little/no help..
Please change this to hero thanks
Web on Eris
So if my Eris is already activated on Cricket with talk and text, will flashing for web (rooting etc..) de-activate my phone?

If you have a 3g indicator in the notification bar of your phone (as long as you have Mobile Network turned on - hold the power button, and turn it on, if it's not on already), then you're ready to flash the web/mms flash.
Flashing the web/mms flash or ANY kind of flash from Recovery will NOT affect your talk/text abilities whatsoever. It can only enhance the ability of your phone to do things.
I recommend flashing the Cricket v10 flash from token419's thread here, then using APN Backup & Restore to backup your APNs, modify them, then Restore them to make MMS work perfectly:

Here's what I did, exactly, to get my ex-gf's working 100%
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7665352&postcount=135
thank you!
I also called a cricket store to ask this quistion, the guy mentioned that after today, cricket will launch there own google android phone, so anyone with a flashed android phone will have to pay the $60 Plan. any idea if this is true?

That's not true.
But if you go into the store, and ask for your Android phone to be on Cricket, then yes, you'll have to pay for the plan.
Otherwise, unless they're keeping inventory of customer provided equipment (which they never have before), you're fine.
In their notes they just have 'customer-provided equipment' listed, not HTC Droid Eris.
I wouldn't worry about it. My ex-gf has this going on, so we'll see. Sprint is $69.99 for a better/faster/more reliable network, so if Cricket does this, they might lose out to that, unless people really use the unlimited minutes.
Quick question. I am very new to the android unlocking scene but I have done a good amount of research. Step 1 of this guide shows us how to get text and talk working for cricket (and I'm assuming Metro as long as you load the Metro prl). What I want to know is Step 1 EXACTLY the same as getting MetroFlashed minus adding the esn to Metro's db?
The reason I want to know is because I got my phone MetroFlashed and set up data and mms. The next day I did a hard reset. Contrary to others beliefs doing so put me back on Verizon so I brought it back to be flashed again. Now I'm reading this and would like to know if Step 1 is all I need to do to get back on Metro in the event I need to do another hard reset for whatever reason.
