GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! WE'VE GOT A DELIVERY
Hello,
First of all, some good news to everybody in Turkey who has been afflicted by the IMEI problem. We have produced a working solution and intend to make it available to the Turkish public for FREE, as promised.
The procedure was tested on my i-mate k-jam which I unlocked successfully. I cannot express the sheer joy when my phone picked up the signal and remained connected! It worked!!!
Alas, my own overconfidence in this victory that came after a lot of hard work and research, resulted in me baking my i-mate's ROM during an attempted ROM upgrade. So I cannot enjoy my phone right now, however, this was not caused by our IMEI update process, which works fine. I just damaged my DOC while being careless with the latest "Self-Cooked" ROM, a most cavalier act indeed.
Now, this whole IMEI issue has drawn a lot of heat on the forums. I have been personally accused of being a thief, a hacker, among other things. I only have good intentions in mind, but I also want to consult with everybody in this forum, to put my ideas to the test of the real world (especially Richard's vicious criticism will at least provide a reality check as to the feasibility of our ideas).
Project goals:
1) Mechanism should only work in Turkey
2) Mechanism should only work once for each person
3) Mechanism should be free
4) Mechanism should be easy to use
Proposal for implementation:
1) To realize a Turkey-lock, we'll impose an IP address restriction. No IP outside of Turkey will ever work.
2) To realize the person-lock, we'll prevent the unlock wizard from running more than once on any given piece of hardware. We will also ban the tool from running on VMware/Virtual PC systems, to make sure people cannot side-step our hardware lock.
3) Free - that's easy! We just won't charge for it.
4) Easy to use - that can be harder, but we'll give it our best.
Please let us have your thoughts...and thanks to everybody who contributed to this project.
We'd like to make the product as solid as possible, so the restrictions cannot be circumvented, and this won't become a tool that the real thieves can use to unlock their phones. Any technical implementation suggestions on getting this done, including making our product binaries harder to hack, and making it harder to sidestep our limitations, are VERY welcome.
Don't worry - we won't force you to use a dongle! But we'll still do everything in our power to guarantee fair use of the tool, once per person.
Good work mimarsinan. We'll chat later... just reinstalled Comprexx Time for bed now

Re: Proposed Solution for IMEI Problem in Turkey (Good News!
decided to remove my post
I had to CID unlock the phone before our IMEI method would work. The method is not limited to Universal, but works on a wide variety of HTC phones, including Wizard which was my model.
It is really a shame nobody had a public tool that did this before. And Raskal, in all fairness, if you had made it easy for me to find a solution, I wouldn't have bothered to setup this project, work on it for a week, and finally manually unlock my phone.
I now have to keep my promise to the community and make the tool available for free as promised.

you have not made solution becuase you simply not have the background to do such tools. it is from mamaich, he is good in this what he do, you are just an "ibne", nothing more or less...
Guys. please be respectful to each other.
You can argue about technical solutions, but I'm not going to be your mother and spank you for being naughty.
Treat each other with the same respect you would like to be treated, and then we'll all be happy.
Hi Raskal,
I understand you feel angry and threatened that soon a free tool will be launched which does the same thing your commercial tool does.
While some people in Turkey would take great offence to being called "gay" (ibne means ****** in Turkish for those who do not know), I am very comfortable with my heterosexual sexual identity, and I have no problems with homosexuals, be they gays or lesbians. Of course, it hurts if some girl I have a crush on turns out to be a lesbian, but such is life :lol:
I have done nothing to offend you, other than complain about the difficulties of your fulfillment process, which drove me to implement this project in the first place. If you had had a better fulfillment process, this would never have happened.
Yes, I most certainly do not have the background to implement this project, but I have been helped by people (I don't think mamaich - unless he uses a different nick on other forums I have visited). I most certainly could not have done this alone. I am grateful for the help and support I have received from people during this project.
The sole intent of this project has been to solve a problem, I have stated from the beginning it is a non-commercial venture. I am getting PMs from people on the forums asking for help - these people need help, the same way I needed help. I have been called a hacker, a thief, a government agent under cover, and now gay, for this effort. Sorry, but by now I would have thought that you'd have already figured out these defamations and assaults do not deter me, but instead increase my motivation to get the job done faster.
I wish there was some way I could make peace with you and Richard, but you guys seem truly hell bent on doing everything in your power to stop me, well, what do you want me to do?
Am I going to be nice to the two people who have been unfriendly at best and outright hostile and rude in every sense of the word, and cease this project? Or am I going to honor the request of all those people who have kindly asked me for help with this situation?
You have a commercial tool and you are making a profit out of people who are either in possession of stolen cell phones, or are inconvenienced by government regulations. I rest my case.
Well said mimarsinan.
The board is aimed at XDA Developers. Mimarsinan set his mind to a task and came up with a solution. The burden is on him to take control of the release of that solution.

I confirm it was not me. My method works for HTC Universal only.
You are welcome Mimarsinan! We are waiting for the solution of your hard work. I lost my original IMEI number after a repair. The technician changed my ROM chip, the IMEI was changed and he said that he could not get the IMEI back. Now I want to get it back.

Hi, Mimarsinan i tried your tool with my Himalaya but it detect the all imei number as 000000000000...... so i failed to update my imei, what is the algorithm of the imei changer? It search for the imei on a range of memory then update the addresses? Is there any check sum protection for imei changing?
I will be very happy if you help me for changing my himalaya's imei, thanks

So, where is the solution??
I couldn't see any solution changing IMEI for universal.
where is the tool?
is it developed yet?
download?
i also can't find any tool ?!!! where is it ?
There's no way you can imagine how far Turkish people go when it's about "swearwords", let's take a look simply...

Help needed
Hey
Am desperate with this phone registration process here. I've paid the tax and turkcell is still playing around and not completing the registration. My last resort is to change the IMEI number of my cell. How can I use this service of yours? They are going to shut down my cell in three days... darn!

will this ever happen!!!!!!!!!
well considering that the imei is the identifier for a mobile phone i dont think you will ever get to change it, and if you could, why would you want to?, the only reason someone would want to change an imei on a mobile is if its a stolen mobile and that person wanted to change the identifier *imei* so as not to get caught...
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think it ever will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
never say never. i guess the imei is just a few bits on an unknown adress in one of these flash memory chips inside. what i am trying to say: the imei is nothing hard coded in the device, it is programmable. for mobile phones there are a lot of hacking tools for changing the imei e.g. of nokia phones, philips, sagem etc.
but i agree: what would be the sense of changing imei? covering a stolen phone from being identified and possibly tracked?
greetings
peter
There are legitimate reasons for wanting to change one's IMEI. For instance: if I were to use pepaid cards for multiple identities which I wish to remain separate towards the state, then I must use many phones, or change IMEI. And if you think resisting the eyes of a state is somehow evil, then please consider not all nation states are equally friendly at any given time. Union organizers and human rights activists in many countries stand to lose if we only associate their technical needs with crime and terrorism.
Excellent point of view Peter!
So I wonder which Nas is: Union organiser or human rights activist?
IMHO, changing IMEI number is something that will help more criminals than secretive activists, and it shouldn't be encouraged. Of course, just MHO.
Ha Neither!
But what are the chances that a simple minded phone thief will actually have the intelligence to join a form and ask, die hard users if they could unlock the phone he has stolen from probably another die hard user.
We all have our reasons, and it makes me smile, when every time there is a chat about changing this or that on a product that people assume the worth or blindly give their assumptions on the reasons!
I remember back in the early 90s when people like myself were hacking the Amiga games and putting them in the public forum, it was the same thickle minded people that said we were all gangsters raising money to have drug parties in Europe.
The reason i wanted to unlock my IMEI is simple, the prices in the UK are far too high, so on a trip to Singapore i brought one, boxed receipt ect!
It worked fine out there an no matter what i do with it here its not working, so i have flushed it, and changed various settings and unlocked it but it has never worked as a phone.
This is just another throw of the dice.
So will all the people thinking im a freaking mugger or two bit crim, please stay away when the grown folks are talking!!!!!!

The organised gangs of criminals who deal in stolen handsets are very cunning, and far from simple minded. The petty criminal who snatches a phone may well not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he isn't the one who does the real business and makes all the profit.
Right now I would say that a fixed IMEI number is the best deterrent we have against large-scale phone crime, and I'd be happy to keep it that way.
Agreed the big fish are very smart, however the smartest thing to do with a stolen hand set is simply take it out of the country it was stolen in.
Why go through the need of replacing IMEI numbers and possibly bringing attention to yourself in chat rooms, when you can get on a plane and sell the phone as perfectly working.
these gangs make big money, and i agree any method stopping them doing what they do, especially in light of the recent killing in the UK is a good thing.
What gets me is when, guys like me ask a question, for a valid reason and a chat room full of people that most probably all hack for fun, turn around not even question but put foward opinions on my motives, and liken me to a mugger!
Did you buy the phone brand new in Singapore? I cant think of any reason for the phone not to work here unless it was previously blocked here in UK and found its way out east. Have you tried different sims from different providers? What do you hear/see when you try to place a call?

It happened a long time ago. This forum is not the right place to search for.
I can sell you IMEI resetting tool which works fine for both XDAs. It doesn't change your IMEI to desired one, but replaces your number with 0000-s.
Get your resetting tool today only for 99,99$! PM me anyway!
-if you want to be anonymous, you are using a prepaid card
-but, with an imsi catcher anyone (who does own such a device) can listen to your calls
-the guy behind the catcher does some filtering regarding the sim-number "guess" - and also the imei of your device
-so your are "transparent" with your prepayd-cards and also your imei.
-card changing is not that big problem, but doing this with new phones every 2 weeks or so is not fine.
-this cardf/imei changing does not regard only illegal activitys/criminals.
-imsi catcers are not only used by police, etc. - also from criminals, so it is an useable part of keeping your secrets (think about an top manager, ....)
if anyone is interested:
a imsi-catcher does nothing as simulating an gsm-Cell - doing some forwarding to the real network.
but:
the imsi-catcher doe have more tx-power, as other cells in the area, so the phone connects to the catcher.
the imsi-catcher uses not encrypted communication witch the phone, so the calls can be logged without any problems. (i only know the siemes S4 (S10to?), telling you, if the communication is not encrypted)
sorry for my bad english
It will be changed if you change your mazard board,,,,,,
hello lads, wish everybody is fine and doin well, ive been doing some intelligence and detective work around around the weired fact that IMEI check are the only guyz around with an unlock solution for the UNIVERSAL.
what i accumilated was kindda weired. according to information gathered from this website and specially from my favourite two super stars (BUZZ lightyear and Mchinegod) those legendary stars got it all fine lolll.
what i found is.
IMEI check has some source in HTC inovations in taiwan.
this source has probably supplied em classified Hardware Software information on how to unlock the Universal.
second speculation is that they also has a source that has unrestricted acess to the IMEI-Unlock code database. and he supplies them the assigned codes for some percentage from every unlock they make.
in both cases there is an insider who must ve supplied critical info on raming this device into the corners.
just for the info, i mentioned before that i had a weired problem and that is i wanted to unlock my MDA pro and T-mobile the netherlands told me that my IMEI doesnt exist in thier database or its not a T-mobile universal varient. however i managed my way in contacting someone in HTC and my honest source tracked my IMEI back to T-mobile the netherlands, i offered this source paying him money to gimme the unlock code but he refused in great honesty and said, the entire HTC cant supply me these codes not for free not for a fee, acoording to a business agreement with the T-Mobile. after a while, i got an email from T-Mobile telling me that they have my Unlock code right now and they are ready to supply me the code for like 70 euros or something,,
that shows that there are some leaks around between HTC and its business partners and, our freiends at IMEI check, has foudn some way to access these leaks and make some money.
wish i explained my theory
best regards
shady
why dont they offer then an online unlock... you send them imei number and money... they send you unlock code....
there is an other way they do it
€70 is much less than I was first asked for to have an Unlock code. It was more like €175, and that was for a little Samsung phone before T-Mobile took over One2One.
After you've been using the device for 1 year, your first year contract is finished. After this first year contract, the Universal belongs to you - NOT T-Mobile - and you are therefore legally entitled to do anything you want to with it, including unlocking it. T-Mobile CANNOT legally deny you this right - if they could, the central IMEI databases which disallow network access from stolen devices would simply disallow access to other networks from your IMEI.
thas exactly the point
asking for physical acess to the machine while still sayint that they will not open it and hat all stuff will be made through cable. sooo i think this provides perfect diversion.
Yeah, I think I said in an earlier post that the whole thing about 'sending your Universal in because physical access is required' is a load of bullcrap. It's as shady said, they have an insider at HTC which really makes me question the ethics of their dealings in the first place. I don't think I like these guys very much.
I think you forgot something US (imei-check):
We killed JFK, we are green and we come from Mars. Somewhere on other forum I saw that someone says that we like to collect the MDA PRO's. Yes we love to swim in them . We are aliens and we like that.
These declarations are as true as your conspiracy theory.
WE HAVE NO connection with HTC or any other manufacture or operator. We are just a bunch of programmers which like to work till late not to stay and see if anyone comes with anything for free for us.
This forum should be called Warez and freeware searchers since here all you can read is where to download such software and were to get such thing for free. Only a handful of people from here does developing, rest just a bunch of beggars (sorry for the previos spelling mistake, but hey I'm not a native speaker ).

I resent your comments regarding the rest of us no-hopers being 'baggers'.
If it wasn't for forums like this you guys wouldn't have any business cos the vast majority of us would have returned our pda phones due to lack of network support.
I have no qualms paying for unlocking but the networks take the mick by making you wait weeks for the unlock codes.
I dare say you guys have learnt from this forum and if you didnt charge 50 squid for a universal unlock code you would get more respect.
We all have a part to play mate so just remember this:
Without consumers(or baggers as you like to call us) you would have to latch onto somting else so give us a break !!!
i vote with jonboy. if u dont respect this forum why are you on it,,, i have no idea actually + if you think my claims are wrong, there is no need to insult all of us, my friend the way you answered is a hard proof that at least some of my claims have taken a byte at the neck of the truth.
anyway thanks for calling us baggers, but again as jonboy says, these baggers are the guyz making business for you and giving you money. so i wont call em baggers cuz if its not for them you would ve been a bagger.
you IMEI guyz are asking for astaggering 74 E to unlock well i have to mention that T-mobile unlocked my MDA pro for 70 euros which is still 4euros less than what you asked + i dotn have to send it all the way to another country or stuff.
again thanks dear brother for insulting the forum and its people.
best regards

Are you really who you say you are? If you are, you must be about ten years old because that statement is so immature, not fit for a grown mature adult.
BTW, where are all the warez on this site? I haven't seen any, or am I just blind, naive or both? We all visit this forum so that we can "hack" some the system parameters of our devices to enhance them and give them "personalities" we like or prefer to have.
actually, i think this florin is just a very erogant man, i still am feeling offended that he called us beggers. do everybody really has to be a developer. well mr wiered headless brainless, when u go to a Dr to take out the permenant disease out of your head do u become a begger, when you go to psyciatrist to take the wiered erogance of your soul do u become a begger, so if you think that when u go to a pro that well help you get rid of all of these wiered stuff in your miniature nature that will make you a bagger, then we might also be considered bagger. and by the way plz when u speak to people again try to get first some schooling second learn some ethics
again lads, just think deeply if our ideas on this forum about how IMEI check got thier hands on the unlocking codes are wrong, what would piss thier boss off, hehehe if someone said soemthing thas not right about me i wouldnt really start a fight on someones wrong calims, but if he uncovered my business then ill fight to recover it back, even by insulting people heheh

im sorry guyz, i aint no dectaort here and ieve never said im right i just speculated some stuff, and to be honest as i said, i have no proof, its just speculation, and im not complaining about the price the market is open, u dont like someones service, take another. and i have no offense against anybody as well i havent attacked him, it was just someone that began attacking all the forum not me only. and again, im not so sure and im not running an invistigation here buddy, and im usually dotn speak so much here in the forum, but i just dotn wanna get kicked whenever im gonna say soemthing someone is gonan call me a bagger. and yes not everybody is doign something cuz so simply not everybody is a developer, does the fact that im in another field rather than IT or software development must make me shut up and not even talk.
well guyz im sorry anyway if i attacked any body or offended anyone without intentions

well said that man
The rest of you n00b-muppets need to shut the hell up. I've known Florin for quite some time now and back in the early days he was of great help to the Windows Mobile community and still is today. To be quite honest, he's right, the majority of you are all beggers. You all want something for nothing. Why should someone break their back to make YOU happy? What have YOU done for the community? Why should anyone spend their precious time helping YOU when all YOU do is leech information?
You want the "truth" behind imei-check? They spend alot of time working on devices to get them unlocked. Sometimes they kill the devices. Said devices cost money. Then when all the hard work is over and they start to earn a reward from their work, some jumped up little prick decides to reverse engineer the software and sell it on ebay. Thats why you have to send Universal's in to them.
I would like to react to this
that shows that there are some leaks around between HTC and its business partners and, our freiends at IMEI check, has foudn some way to access these leaks and make some money.
And please do not take this like "racism" or anything else.
HTC is a Taiwanese Company POINT ! In Taiwan China Korea (Much difficult in Japan) Money is the most important thing ! I was living Before in HK, and has often be oblige to deal with the mainland but the things is that Money can buy anything over there or allow you a lot of things. I had last year a "Weird" problem with a Taiwanese PC, Pocket PC, smartphone manufacturer. Well I was dealing for a potential of 300 Units (PC) and things were going well at the begning until... they bypass me and contacted my client to make business with them.
This is how things work there and will always work.
If you take for example Korea... nobody follow any contract, in Fact in business matter it works like this, you firs sign the contract, and then you discuss about the term of the contract. If for example you want to "punish" a Korean company you just has to force them to follow a contract (this is the worst punition for them)
Once again, there are no racism in my story I am living in Asia since a long time now, my wife is Korean/Japanese and I had the chance to live, before I met my wife, with a Chinese lady (Be quiet on this one ok )

Just share experience, that all
hey guyz, again ive said there is no proof these are just speculations, and again im not a damn developer, as far as i remeber ihavent insulted anyone, would you plz choose a better language describing the people on this forum,, if you think that we are all beggars, fine dont be around us, but plz just stop this insulting. and why are my words so painfull, i just said what i though nothing more. specially that in various threads in this forum, some guyz managed to get the codes from HTC so im not totally inventing a story, i think prooving me wrong would be much easier that saying all of this, jesus why is insulting so easy
florin_m
A year ago i unlocked more than 20 phones (s100 and 9090) with imei-check's help so don't say we all beggars here.
Would there be an online service soon to unlock the MDA-PRO? Because sending your MDA to England isn't accepltable for everyone and i really need to use the service quite often.
@florin_m
hi florin,
i seriously doubt, that you've programmed an unlocker for Universal, just few days after it was released to the market.
Either you have/had:
1. engineering prototypes with certain bootloader functions opened
2. access to special service SD cards
3. bootloader passwords
4. access to IMEI/lock database
i'd say 2. or 4. is right
BTW, why do you call your company IMEI-CHECK?
Wouldn't it be more apropriate to call it unlock-programming ?
IMEI-CHECK is invoking a vision of checking IMEI against a list or such...

If I missed a thread where this was solved then sorry, but I can't believe the only way to CID unlock the Dash is to pay some website 38 bucks for the "service". If they have the software to do it, then why don't we? The whole thing seems ridiculous...

or, you could just pay the 41 bucks US and quit worrying about it. Like you, I waited and waited. Easier just to pay the cash and get on with your life instead of wasting a lot of time constantly checking for the free solution.
Since there is at least a solution, I'm sure nobody is working on it nearly as hard as if there were no solution available. IMEI-CHECK (as much as I don't particularly care for them personally) have permanently bricked a few devices to find out the HTC solution and are now in a position to charge whatever they feel they can get. Not a single other unlocking service can do it so it can't be all that easy.
My .02
Huh IMEI-CHECK now require you to email them a scanned photo id, either your passport or driving license after you have paid, and don't mention this before hand. So its no-longer an instant CID unlock. So if you have an S620 it might be worth skipping the current WM6 beta and waiting a bit longer for a free solution.
Dear IMEI-CHECK customer,
Due to the increase in paypal frauds we have to increase our verifications.
Because you are a new user we need to verify you.
How to become verified user:
1. Please email us a copy from a photographic id (passport or driving licence) which will match the same name and address used on the paypal account.
2. You are a previous customer who ordered at least 2 months ago without having any reversed payments from paypal
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team

They did verify me within an hour of me sending a photo of a gas bill so I guess thats pretty good. But even after CID unlocking the WM6 upgrade still says INVALID MODEL ID. So you need to follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295845
What? Are the legally allowed to collect such information?
what is rediculous is you expecting someone to spend their time to break the lock so that you can flash your phone to a rom that wasnt originally designed for your phone when you bought it, and to make this solution easily available for you to access, and for them to do it for free. move out of home and join the real world. you should thank them for finding a solution and only charging a modest amount.
if you cant afford to put gas in your car, dont buy one

I dont think it's rediculous since we got the Hermes free unlocker in this forum months ago already. Guess you would change your thinking when you know more in the forum, at least you will not be so confident as above.

Thats dumb and a waste of effort. The person who figured out the hermes CID unlock could easily apply the same technique to the excalibur -they just don't own one. I'm sure he would have worked with us if we all offered to donate the £20 we gave to imei-check or might have even done it for free had he known the situation with WM6 and CID. I think someone else profitting from our hobby of playing with different ROMs is totally wrong.

I would be careful sending photo ID and other persoan information to a company that cannot protect their company from fraud. How can you ensure that your information will not compromised and used elsewhere.Just my 02. of caution.

well you owe it to every person that likes to install 3rd party software on their phone to write these programs.....lol
we all come to these forums because we like tinkering with our devices and trying different things. i am gratefull to all of the people with techinical knowledge that spend their time extracting roms and writing free programs that i can use. if i had the know-how i would do it to. what pisses me off is the people that think it is their god given right to be able to access this kind of info for free. i cant believe someone actually said that we should donate the money imei-check charges to the guy that wrote the free unlock program for the hermes instead of paying imei-check. either way you are paying for it. most hobbies cost money, whether it be the cost of materials or products (paints, canvas, models, remote controlled devices, etc) that are used while enjoying your hobby.
i am not saying that i wouldnt take advantage of a free solution, i am just saying it is rude to expect and demand one. i have paid for their services twice and it was well worth it both times as i was able to change roms on my qtek 8500 that was missing calls and now i am able to use the wm6 rom on a different device because someone was nice enough to give us access to it. i believe that some things are worth paying for, especially when it allows me to do something or use something that i enjoy. some of you believe that it is wrong to pay someone for their time and expertise and open threads demanding a free product while the rest of use enjoy our different roms. if you stand behind your beliefs i can respect that too, though

You misunderstood me. Only the people willing to fund the development pay, once its done the rest get it for free. This is a typical scenario for software development where the creator doesn't directly benefit from the creation of the software (he doesn't own the device in question), but with it comes the recognition of the one who was successful in making it. If the recognition isn't enough then thats when cash gets involved. From the beginning XDA Devs, and SPV Devs for that matter always sought their own implementation of things to further their skills and learn more about our devices and how they work. I don't see anything positive in supporting imei-check.
Heres something for you to read
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/shouldbefree.html
And like I said, he probably didn't even know there is the need for a CID unlocked for the Excalibur. AND, with your opinion that no-one on this forum should ever ask for anything I don't see how he would ever find out.
Eric S. Raymond writes in The Cathedral and the Bazaar: "Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch."
So, I will try to cause some itching now:
Excalibur uses Samsung OneNAND chip, itsme developed a tool to access the non-OS sections of the chip, ie: where the CID area is stored.
The simlock data is stored on the first 0x20000 bytes of the gsmsection.
Wouldn't it be easy to dump CID & SimLock area before unlocking, pay for imei-check's unlocker and dump CID & SimLock area after unlocking and then compare?
If everyone unlocking provides this information, someone will come with a solution sooner or later...
Theres more about that here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285003&highlight=bkondisk
and it being used to unlock the StrTrk:
http://www.spv-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6581
But it doesn't mention how they obtained the decryption key for the StrTrk or how to find it for the Excalibur. Unless I missed that.
Despite the stuff about decryption I dumped using bkondisk as you said and found my SuperCID (31 31 31 31 31 31 31) at 0x2a0dc
The command I used was:
prun bkondisk -v0 -b0 -n500 \firstblock.img
But that dumped more bytes than you need. Also since the CID among a bunch of other strings so I doubt this is the right place.

I wouldn't say I love Microsoft, but they do have the market for computer software and I do have quite a bit of their hardware, the MS stearing wheel been a fine bit of kit.
I have used Windows operating systems since Windows 3.1 to the present XP (Vista any day now). I have been using a PocketPC for the past few years with software ranging from Windows Mobile 2003 to the 2005 version, all under licence from the vendor I bourght the phone from.
Whilst the pre packaged software on my PDA is all good and well I have had a much more productive and fun time using my device since I stumbled across XDA-developers.com website, usefull information, people who are in the same boat and development on the software to only increese the usabillity of it.
This is the reason I started this thread.
Everyone that own's a PocketPC/PDA has bourght it. This means that once the device has been bourght you have paid for the Microsoft licence of the installed software.
When you buy a copy of Windows for your home or business computer you have a few differnet ways you can install the software, there are lots of third party bits of software you can install, so you can customize the way your computer is setup.
Microsoft are gonna make xda-developers.com to take down the files that are posted on this site.
I believe that as we have all payed to have the software on our PDA's we have the right to have any version that we want, modified or not. Yes, we shouldn't have versions that haven't been "officially" realeased on our PDA's but even with those there are people who have got the ROM's and made them better.
Microsoft should be quite gratefull that there are people out there to make a bit of software they have developed even better, why should it be any skin of there noses for a bit of software they have allready been paid for!!!
Microsoft can't stop new ROM's been realesed on the internet, if Vista is on all the torrent sites there's no way they are gonna stop a new Windows Mobile ROM appearing.
To conclude...Microsoft should know a good thing when they see it. XDA-Developers.com is that!
Well laid out. I totally agree with you. What M$ doesn't understand is that more roms will start to fly around on un-monitored sites. These sites will lack the support provided at xda-developers and customer complains will sky rocket through the roofs.
Like jack bauer say... "Damn it M$", we need our own Chloe O'brian (a mean betatester)... YOU GUYS!
LONG LIFE XDA-DEVELOPERS!!!
You are right !
M$ have a basic problem in their buisness concept ... not letting people have the freedom that they need and want to upgrade and evolve their OS
And that's why (i believe) people are starting to switch to other OS like OSX or linux.
I am very much afraid that it will also start happening in our mobile decives with symbian and others ...
because although WM5 (and 6) tend to .... crash, hang, or just not work, in my opinion it is the most versitile OS there is .... plenty of programs for it ... and plenty of programmers making new stuff as they go, and that's without including ROM maker which are a whole highly respectable group on their own.
I believe that it is our decision to upgrade, as well as our legal right(for the OS' price is no doubt included in the device's retail price) BUT people must have no right to complain after screwing with their device or worse (bricking it).
And in that respect i agree with M$.
So i propose the middle ground, asking M$ if writing a diclaimer here on XDA that users must go through before downloading and/or upgrading their device will do, and hope that they accept.
if not ...
find a legal loophole, because I for one am not willing to give XDA up just yet !
sorry if i bored you guys, but that's just the way i feel about this whole thing.
UPGRADE ON !
heh.
I have never been one to defend Microsoft, but from reading their letter carefully, it would appear it has more to do with the mobile operators putting pressure on them. Two things I would like to say in response to this.
1) If the mobile operators and manufacturers would employ developers who were even half as quick and resourceful as the developers here, they might actually have sold me a phone that worked properly to start with, unlike my SPV M5000 which was crashing on a daily basis, even with their latest ROM, until I updated it with a ROM from this forum. Had I not been saved by this this amazing forum, I would have demanded a refund, Orange would have lost money and I would have moved to a different company.
2) People who update their phones with ROM images from this forum should know better than to seek support from their mobile operator after having updated their ROM. They should have known that they would not like this.
Now we all have to suffer.
They'll have to face't!

I have never gone to my mobile operator nor the phone support service center! I have not a single doubt in my mind that I know better than the "technician" sitting behind his desk claiming to fix my PDA whenever it hicks up!
This forum and only THIS FORUM, helped 100K of people to fix their own PDAs and even created a wide knowledge to those beginners who knew nada about roms or tweaking pdas!
But sorry to say that OS developers have gone too far this time and as it was rightly said, the tighter and tougher they become the more roms ther will be out there even more than they can imagine, since it is a challenge they've started, they'll have to face't.

For some reason I have my doubts about this. Not just that, but there is no link anywhere, just screenshots, which can be easily faked. This kind of thing happens in the gaming console arena all the time. People just do it for attention. Until a recognized developer we KNOW (on here preferrably......hsbadr????) can confirm this, Im going to rule it as fake.

Although, he has some petty good video of startup, reboot, and maintaining root...as well as showing root checker etc. so time will tell.
The guys a FRAUD. The XDA mods locked down his thread cause he was posting lies about permanent root which he willfully failed to show verity upon request. He is only looking for attention by means of "Thanks." pay him no attention. He's a troll. lol
Farse
This looks like a waste of time...delete.
So there is no reliable system yet to root the Note 4?
They way most of you have been treating and talking about this guy, if I were him and really did have the solution, I'd say "eff ya".

Agreed. I don't understand why everyone is so uppity. What's the harm in just being patient and having a "wait and see" attitude, instead of calling him a fraud and dropping the ban hammer just because he hasn't revealed details yet. Unless we know for certain that he hasn't achieved root, then I don't think we should push him away, even if we don't like his methods. Keep in mind that there is a language barrier here also, so there may be some misunderstanding.
He already said many times he wasn't going to release it. He said it would hurt his business and Samsung would patch it.
Which translates to I've found something that will work on many Samsung devices so if I release it I won't be able to use it to make money in my business, because having a solution for only the Verizon note 4 is not going to do his business much good as he is from outside US.

All you have to do is look at his past post. He did the same thing with an LG device. Posting he has achieved root when he had not. When the mods finally asked him to provide proof he declined to answer. When he's been contacted on his site, his number, etc, etc, he declines to answer the question and left the LG community it's in a complete disarray. We don't need people posting root achieved notices just to get their thanks scores higher. The Note 4 community it's has been thru enough already. And if it was going to hurt his business to release the method, then why release I've achieved root. No thanks, the guys a complete fraud.
I can appreciate that reasoning, thanks.
Here a genuine question, not trying to be argumentative:
How is this situation with vnmobile different than the video posted showing the Galaxy S5 bootloader unlock?
http://www.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5-bootloader-has-been-unlocked/
It appears that this dev (beaups) does not plan to release his methods either, yet he is not treated with the same disdain as vnmobile. Granted it appears that beaups has earned respect previously, but at the end of the day the same question remains: what is the purpose of sharing the video?
This guy definitely a fraud. His real name is Ngoc Vu and he's running a business selling tech equipments in Vietnam. Let me throw a few things on the table here.
1) Language barrier issue - Nope I speak his language and had visit his website and his facebood page. Just full of shi...
2)Hurt his business if he released the root fix? Another bull sh... 2 ways he could make money. a) release the fix and collect over 20k cash from XDA b) Offer a service to root the phone with a fee. Guess what? none existed.
Summary - he just want to drive traffic to his web site, and make his business more visible to the world specially XDA where everyone interested in cell phone/tablet and electronic equipments. Case closed!
i just saw this post. And i confirmed he is a Vietnamese guys. like me. ^^
