my samsung i600 is running wm2003 and allows other installs that are unsigned. i tried installing a spectec wifi card driver and it won't install because the driver is unsigned. i tried it on my VOQ same error. it seems both phones are only partially "unlocked". anybody know any workarounds?

ps. i wrote spectec hoping that they have a signed version...

The Samsung i600 was locked down pretty hard, and you can't even make changes the some of the registry. This includes the registry key that enables the application lock. With the Voq you should be able to edit the registry to unlocked it fully. The guide to do is can be found here.

i think it's beyond those reg keys. i edited them and it didn't do anything on the VOQ - came back with the same error. the test for unlocking was supposedly "doom" - it ran no problem. there's some other lock probably specific to drivers....

In that case it probably is the driver. Spectec will probably tell you tough luck, I haven't actually seen a Smartphone that the driver will install and work with the wifi card in.

the reason i got the wifi was that i read somewhere that someone had tested a sandisk wifi on the I600 and it worked great. i think the I600 was the only smartphone in it's generation that had SDIO. the spectec is low profile compared to the other cards like the sandisk with the antenna portion sticking out...

i found the secrets to decerts from the nextel forums. it seems i need a version 2.1 sprite demo (with cab that has verizon certs). rolleyes.gif i don't know if the evils of the newer versions of sprite backup are discussed anywhere around here but suffice it to say that certain registry "tweaks" are disallowed...
