    Hi there. My e616 is sv22. Any tips on how to unlock please. As a return you can read how to unlock dvd players (it works too) on my posting. Just search dvd unlock codes.
    Thanks

    you need a modified cable to unlock v22 and you need the flash files to downgrade it first.
    it may be easier to send to someone with the correct equipment to unlock it
    if you pm me your area ill see if i know anyone nearby

    Thanks for your offer, I am in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. Sorry it took so long to reply, as I have been away a couple of weeks.

    Many thanks
