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

I also have been trying to unlock my Lobby to no avail.
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 .....

Hi All,
I’ve just got myself a “bargain” from eBay that was advertised as unlocked but alas turned up with the sim lock on
I’ve contacted the Tmobile network in the UK and they will only send a code to a uk address and I am not there.
I have looked on this and other forums and seen that I could do it myself. I have rooted the phone and now have the yellow warning triangle on boot up. I also have CWM and Superuser icons in the Applications.
I have then tried to go onto the android app store to download Chainfires Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock. I then get the "There are no Android phones associated with this account" problem. Again I have looked at the solution to remove the phone number and re-enter it but this has not worked. I have tried several times.
I do not have Wifi and obviously can’t access the internet on the phone.
Is someone able to kindly send me the file in an email?
Once I have this done what else do I need to do to the phone? I’ve rooted it but only to the closest number I could find.
Thanks to XDA and all of you for reading this!
I'm a little slow so plese can you dumb it down... alot! ha ha
Phone: GT-I9100
Android version - 2.3.5
Baseband version - I9100BOKJ1
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606 [email protected] #2
Build number - GINGERBREAD.BOKK1
apk
That app only works on early version phones and may not work for you. If it doesn't you should try Helroz's Galaxy S Unlock app it works on all S II's but I believe it requires Internet to get a small payload. Which could be a problem for you unless you drive around for the first open WiFi.
It also doesn't give a code it just straight unlocks the phone.
Thanks. I have downloaded this to my computer. What do I now do with it?
I'm still lost... What do I do?
Please can anyone point me in the right direction!
Thanks
Place the app on your internal or external sdcard and install. Ensure you have enabled 'unknown sources' or something like it in the phone settings first. Allow it root access when prompted by the super user app.

Thanks for the quick reply,
The phone is brand new to me and I don't understand your instruction. I have downloaded the file and extraced the folders and files. I have then placed this onto the card. I then go into the phone and have ticked the unknown sources box. I then try to run any of the files and only get a "No applications can perform this action" error.
If I try to run AndroidManifest.xml it opens HTML viewer.
Anyone Please....
It's an apk, you weren't supposed to extract it. Apk files are android installation packages. Push the apk to your phone's sd card, and open it using the "my files" app to install.
Thanks again. I've done that. I can find the file eu.chainfire.sgs2simunlockcode.zip in My files. When I tap on it I get the message "Open file. No applications can perform this action"
What am I doin wrong? Thanks for your patience

You apparently somehow changed the file extension from .apk to .zip. Change it back.
I had to change the file extension from .zip!
I am not running the app and hopefully that will work. Wish me luck!
What else should I do to a new phone? Is there any way to get rid of the Tmobile startup screens?
Thanks for all your help, you have helped me stop pulling all my hair out and shouting at the dog!
The app did not find an unlock code
Anymore ideas anyone?

You can flash a stock unbranded firmware... But it sounds as if you should read a lot more educational material before attempting this. Lots of good information is in the roll up sticky in the i9100 general section. Start there, and start reading. I can't offer you any shortcuts. Shortcuts tend to lead to frustration and bricked phones.
I have looked into other ways to unlock this phone...
How do I extract my nv_data.bin - I cannot find this file

Could someone please upload helroz sim unlock for me?
Thanks... back to banging my head on the wall! lol
I am still not getting anywhere! Please can someone help
I'm stuck now...
Thank you all
Aren't there services on the web that cost abot $40 and send you an unlock code? I understand that you don't have wifi, and the phone doesn't work. But if that's the case, how r u posting here?

I have a computer with a sim card in it. I know that there are services to unlock but I am trying to avoid that cost if I can. Perhaps after I have tried all other options I will have to go that route.

Can you please detail all the steps you took. i'm stuck here.:crying:
"I was having similar problems a while ago. Delete all the flash stuff and extract rootflash folder to C:\Rootflash I was trying with the flash stuff in one folder and then the https folder in another and I kept getting the problem you describe. After you've done this go to C:\Programdata and delete the LG folder completely. Restart. Start small server from C:\Rootflash\https as administrator. Start the flashing program again. Tools>Install b2capp. After this it should go as planned" -tablechair
I QUOTED WHAT TABLECHAIR DID AND IT HELPED ME ADVANCE IN THE ROOTING PROCESS AFTER THAT FOLLOW THE NEXT STEP OF CMAHENDRAS ONE THING FOR SURE ONCE YOU DELETE THAT FOLDER ITS GOING TO REAPEAR ONCE AGAIN WHEN YOU PRESS TOOLS>INSTALL B2CAPP WHICH IS GOING TO INSTALL SOME STUFF THAT WASNT THERE BEFORE AND BECAUSE OF THE YOU ARE UNABLE TO ADVANCE TO INSTALL THE KDZ FILE.
ONCE YOU ARE ABLE TO ADVANCE AND FOLLOW THE STEPS OF FLASHING THE KDZ AS IN THE PICTURE OF THE TUTORIAL FROM CMAHENDRA YOU WILL SEE A NEW WINDOW WHERE THE LG UPDATE TOOL IS GOING TO "DOWNLOAD FROM THE SERVER " YOU ARE GOING TO OPEN C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone ONCE YOU SEE THAT THERES SEVERAL BIN FILES OF DIFFERENT NUMBERS SHOWING UP AND YOU SEE THE BIN(6) THAT IS THE ONE THAT YOU DOWNLOADED YOU SIMPLE COPY THE DOWNLOADED BIN AND PASTE IT THERE A WINDOW WILL SHOW UP IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO REPLACE THE ONE THAT IS IN THERE ONE IT IS REPLACED JUST SIT AND RELAX AND WAIT UNTIL THE PROGRAM FINISHES THE PROCESS AND LET IT REBOOT THE PHONE AND WAIT UNTIL IT REACHES 100%.
got it working after an hour of torture.. started praying to God... nd it worked thanks for the info.. hope it helps people who get stuck at this step and search it online...
your welcome its good that it worked for you as well, its thanks to tablechair that helped me in this portion of the process of rooting where i was stuck. enjoy your rooted for as i am
this is kinda where im stuck i guess i can't even get small server to install at all i try to do the run it and it says not found
There is no installer for shttps just right click the exe and run as admin.
I'm having the same problem. Could someone please elaborate on the steps they took to get through this?
Thanks!

i dont see the exe besides "uninst".
If you are trying to find the exe file it should be under
RootFlash >> shttps >> http
where http is the name of the application (it will show up as an '.exe' if you have setting to view file extensions on)

Something got messed up when you extracted the archive. Download and extract again.
Another fix for this problem:
Change the server root folder of shttps to the correct directory. If you have the http.exe in D:\RootFlash\shttps then your correct server root directory is:
D:\RootFlash\shttps\www\
If this directory is wrong, the LG Tool can't find the necessary files on the HTTP Server and will abort the flashing process.

Your anitvirus is blocking the program and quarantining it. You need to temporarily disable antivirua so it will allow the program to be extracted.trust me i was wondering the same thing for almost an hour.

+1 good. Even I Suggested this someone before. Many pals these days going in wrong directions instead of checking basic things.
INSTALLING B2C OR ANYTHING SUCH CRAP IS NOT REQUIRED. NOT EVEN RUNNING WINDOWS ENBLER. I added it just for satisfaction of few.
Not only pc antivirus, If there is LOOKOUT anti-virus in phone, u need to uninstall or disable it also.

Hi there,
So I have my phone in the British network O2 and I decided to get a contract in Three so I have to take off my SIM lock. I used the method of copying the BML5 file using a Terminal Emulator app on my phone. I opened the file in an hex editor and looked for the code but I couldn't find it anywhere.
Please answer ASAP.

Hey Guys,
Been searching through the forums and haven't found a clear answer on this.
I currently have an unlocked Samsung Focus v1.3 , flashed with Dynamics 2.0 WP 7.8 rom from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016769
I've already tried the straighttalk.xml email solution with WP7 Root Tools and the provxml folder with no success. And on post #3 in the link above there is the nokia driver cabs and the nokia oem network setup app which I've loaded via the instructions provided.
I however cannot find where the app is located or if the load worked. Any and all help is appreciated.
Rom is working great but I'm trying to get the Nokia Network Setup app on it so that I can change APN settings for Straight Talk with a bit more ease.
Can't u not just save the XAP file and install it via wp7 root tools?

I have found a solution since my first post to get nokia network setup app working. Thanks for the reply. I cant remember where the thread was located on XDA but there is an OEM change app that I was able to load and change my OEM from Samsung to Nokia and get access to the Nokia portion of the marketplace and download the Network Setup App.
Thanks
