Hello everyone,
The thing is that I live in Turkey... And bought my imate jam (Magician) from a friend who bought it abroad... And because of a new law in Turkey, all the phones that were bought abroad were closed... And there is nothing no to be done with that... Government does not help anyhow... I used that phone for more than a year but then it was just closed by our Telecom... The only way is to buy a new phone or change phones imei... I have another old phone that does not work but it was bought here and imei works fine... So I would like to change my imei of the phone... I purchased jafwm and purchased credits for unlock, but finally got to know that it does not support magician for unlock... But it can change imei on the unlocked phone... So my main problem is cid unlock... my phone is sim unlocked so there is no problem with that... Or is there any other way to restore imei of the device?
Any solution you know?
Thanks beforehand...
Magician is not supported in this release no matter if you can cid unlock your phone or not. I wrote this allrady in the manual of JAFWM Restore in the day i released it. Just download the archive unpack it and see pdf inside.

Magician...
I got really happy when I found your site... and purchased a dongle with credits... so bad it didnt work for my phone... Do you know any solution? Is there any way you could help me with that?
Please test the free alpha tool HTC IMEI Restore Wizard on the forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=59081&start=25
If this tool can display your IMEI, chances are it will most probably be able to change it as well!
100% free, no dongles, no credits, no waiting...
Please don't take this - or even +
Reading IMEI is easy anyway, through some TAPI work.
google for TAPIVBEXAMPLE.zip
you can see;
Manufacturer, Model, Revision #(Radio info) , IMEI and IMSI
but writing is something different because of different chipset issues I think or u got access to
special service SD cards
IMEI/lock database
So promising ; all models with only a one tool without some codes.
Keep cool[/img]

as a real "xda developer" :lol: as you call yourself, you should know what is the difference between wizard and magician. This guy is asking for magician solution and not for wizard. If you still do not understand what i am talking about, read in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=340959&highlight=#340959 the post of mamaich, he explain very clear what is the difference between the 2 platform.

That's very funny, Raskal. My product is called the IMEI Restore Wizard. As in the Printer Installation Wizard. Or Help-Me-With-Some-Task Wizard. Such as Compression Wizard, Extraction Wizard, etc.
You're not a Windows desktop developer, so I don't expect you to be familiar with these standard naming conventions used in most Windows programs.
And I'm not surprised you made yourself look quite stupid, if you don't mind me saying so, by misunderstanding what the Wizard means in the naming of my product either! Very consistent with your overall qualifications so far.

I think you should read what I wrote in my first post. I stated that the goal for the Alpha release of the Wizard is to find out on which devices this method works on, and on which devices it fails. I know it works on HTC-Wizard, and I suspect it works on a lot of other HTC-devices.
Raskal, please keep your posts coming - I'm sure others enjoy reading them as much as I do.

instead of writing here a book about wizards, why you not simply say here what the thread starter is interested in:
Does your IMEI wizard works with a HTC WIZARD? YES or NO
I'll answer for you, it does NOT WORK, so releax and don't guess too much
mimarsinan
WHERE ARE YOU MIMARSINAN??
rascal,
sinan and I found the way to change the imei without modifying the radio rom to manipulate the developement imei in the code. (that is another way even if you dont know the checksum algorithm)
now sinan is preparing the sw to be released here for free for people who still suffer like we used to.
So, your answer is yes, the software will change the imei and the checksum without any problem on HTC wizards. without any usb dongle, without any card reader-writer or anything. just a usb-mini usb cable and the sw which is on its way here.
so, please stop argueing you 2 and let people use this program as soon as possible for free.

Bad news for you, Raskal. I will shortly upload the Beta version of this tool. It works on the following platforms:
Typhoon
Hurricane
Tornado
Wizard
Prophet
(DOC G3 is required)
I hate to make you cry, Raskal
You say shortly??
How long before you upload this software?? And will future releases support other htc phones??

Brilliant source to find out about the up and coming mobile os. But my question is will we able to run this OS on the XDA IIs, Blue angel, SPV... well woteva u call them fingy ma jigs PDA fingies.
I say this because ive heard rumours that the OS makes use of more sophisticated hardware than that already available on the XDA IIs.
Oh baring in mind im reletively new to XDA development (looking to develop some groovy stuff for the lil monster using the good ol' trusty .net framework SDK)...
yay!
Erm, read the thread at the top of the page about WM2005 and the XDA2s.
Also, this chap is worth a read. It's my fave thread of all time!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22813
I have a buddy, with a WM2005 build on a blue Angel (Siemens Sx66), so Yes it will work. I have tried and tried to aquire this but he will not share this.... :-(

he is soooo not your friend, i say, get him sooo drunk, wait til he passes out, spike his drink if u must, then do a rom dump and draw on his face with a marker pen while you wait.
give us his address raptor and i guarentee well have the rom
Raptor, I think he's bullshitting you. If not, ask to see his phone for a second, and slip in and SD Card with the Invisible Rom dumper.
good ideas guys... he is serious though, I have seen it (with tight scrutiny)... he works for a wireless service provider that shall rename nameless. I used to work there as well so I know the consequenses he's facing ......
Still good ideas, still might have to try them.
Raptor
Do it!! I'm sure he can afford to take one for the team
Are you sure he hasn't just got the generic PPC WM2005, 'cos we really need the BA specific WM2005 (if I understand correctly)?

Educate Me, what's the difference and how would I tell?
Raptor
Don't worry about his question, Raptor, you already answered it correctly above. He just wasn't reading/paying attention.
Raptor, if you could get us a dump of this guy's rom, you would be forever famous, and we would all be very much in your debt.
Read here as to how:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22861
Simply follow the instructions, and then insert the SD Card into his device, and BAM, rom dumped, secretly and invisibly. THen, take the SD Card back out, switch it to LOCKED, and then give us the .bin file it created, and we will all have WM2005 for our Blue Angels.
See if our good freind Raptor was some how able to obtain this lovely lil .bin file (the ROM), of the wonderful WM2005, hmm wouldnt that upset Mr.Gates in sum way? (Not that im really bothered or anything, cos im all for sharing, because remember, sharing is always caring ).
But cheers for the reassurance Mr.Raptor much appreciated, gna seek means of finding me self a copy (some nerd, some where must have a copy which he will surely borrow me, willingly or unwillingly... muhahahaha)
This reminds me of a thread with Mr happy which came to no avail
Well I do not want to get anyone's hopes of, the ideas to get him drunk and "borrow" his device were merely that, funny ideas. My message was mainly to inform all that contrary to what I have heard, it is working on the BA successfully. I will not be getting this build (unofficailly) from him as I respect his position @ the company and it would put him, his position, and the company @ legal risk.
Raptor
Damn. Oh well. I would, just in retaliation for these companies not offering us updates just to steal more money from us, and then lying about it.
Honestly, I have no respect for companies that provide sub-standard support for their products.
unless there's carrier branding, they would never know where it came from.
if not do it for your country
he said it was the SX66, so who sells that?? Cingular!!
His profile says he uses Bell Mobility South.
that's the same company
I SO knew that .
we able to come up with a way to unlock . you'll find one way to sim unlock your phone here, only send your IMEI AND 10 UK POUND. but you'll have to pay for it via paypal.
AND FOR FIRST 3 WILL ONLY 5 UK POUND.
running USPL unlocked my phone for free.
Impressive, for a guy whom just posted 7 posts all around the forum regarding a 'key file', just 10 days agos.

Before he can cash on his discovery, let him offer a promo - i.e some free codes, say for 3 people, then he can market himself and profit if he wants.
Although, he will be defeating the objective of this forum, which I believe is not necessary profitering from knowledge, but providing something for the benefit of the community, then people willingly give you what they can afford if they find your solution helpful.
At least, that has been the case with all the other's efforts....pof, perjan, tom_codon, et.c to mention but a few.

Yeah he can make profit of his findings, but why for something we can get it done here for free, I unlocked my artemis for free, right here in this forum. no offence kingback, if every one reads the forum there is lot more anyone can do with patience, if kingback can offer better things he can get donations, if I can use what anyone offers and if it is working I'll be happy to pay for his time. Atleast this is I what think. and sorry if I offended any one.

Sorry am I missing something? Where is there a free SIM unlock option available in this forum?
The program has been deleted but Pof says it works. Ask someone and they may have downloaded it.
Basically you run the program and it writes a file that you use with a MicroSD card to change the unlock code on your device to one you know the number of. You then put in a different network SIM and put in the unlock code. And it is unlocked. Apparently. All the OP is doing is using the program he downloaded off this forum to create the file you need and then selling it to you. Shame on him!
Ahhh that. I thought it didn't work, but have read to see it may have been understood, although I don't read any posts saying anyone unlocked their Artemis with it.
Odd how come it was there for days, but as soon as it was deciphered it has been removed.
It was removed at the request of the software's author.
Why delete a free tool? That would give the people that have downloaded it more power, and make it easier for them to make money off it..
I don't think Admin really had much choice, if I have read the posts properly it was a copyrighted program and the holders asked for it's removal.

Rifaa - Where did you ghet yours unlocked for free ? Please provide the information then, so others can benefit. If you read my posting accurately, I am sure you will see I did not say people can't get it SIM unlocked for free.
I merely suggested that he make true his claim i.e by offering some free codes which in turn is ascertained by the beneficiaries and then state his terms...even if that is contrary to the objectives of this kind of forum.
unlocker didn't work...
as for now, nobody reported the tool actually worked! so be aware, the unlocker tool did not work so far. if someone is selling output based on the earlier posted unlocker, be a little bit skeptic before paying!
Maybe, if someone has the software, he/she could upload it to rapidshare?
there shouldn't be any problems with copyright or any other law...
I have it
But I am not going to upload it
SimLockTool_Artemis_Excalibur
could me someone explaine the following step for unloking device?
I have this but the instrucnions is not clear...
Or write me in PM.
Thanks in advance.
Can you please make a new thread about HTC Cavalier, where we can address our issues about this model, insted of using HTC Excalibur thread.

Ok i will put it to admin and the other mods - was thinking the same thing the other day.
I'll have to second this again. The Cavalier could really use it's own Thread.
We need Cavalier forum please.
Please create the HTC Cavalier/Dopod C730/HTC S630 forum.
Thanks!
OK, I repost the request to other mods.
Support to have a Cavalier forum
Strange, very strange!!!
HTC Cavalier for the moment is the best WM Smartphone money can buy and still there is no separate forum for this device. Even HTC Oxygen (technicly the worst HTC Smartphone) has it's separate forum.
Strange, very strange!!!
Cheers,
Yes why!!!
Apart from the iME problem, it is fast, new tech for the scroll and light sensor..why it is ignored?
...is it really selling well enough to have it's own area? Other than when it was released, you really don't hear that much about it.

Right... There was a lot of info just prior to it's release, and then some reviews right after -- but it doesn't seem to have been picked up by a lot of carriers (at least here in the states). Have many of them sold?
Maybe they should create a forum for 'Other' smartphones that never really took off, and you could talk about it there?

I know one thing that Cavalier is selling better than Oxygen, StarTrek, Monet and Breeze and finally it has better techical specs than any other smartphone on the market. Why carriers aren't picking it up, I really don't know and don't care as I don't buy phones with contract.
So your idea of "other" forum is good for above named phones but not for Cavalier.
There is another thing, HTC still did not anounce Cavalier for the rest of the world (except Asia), maybe this is why carriers aren't picking it up. If you want to get the device simply order it without a contract (for now). Even if this device goes on sale only on Asian Continet that does not meen that other people wont get it and that "it will not take off".
Cheers
Sounds like you're happy with it, must be a nice device.

Yeah, I have been part of those 40+ pages on HoFo but that really just talks about the phone. I would like to know some new hacks and such.
My thoughts exactly. That is a user forum, not a hacker forum. I have several hacks I would like to post in that forum. For example:
After successfully unlocking the Application / security locks, I have succeeded making cleartype Japanese fonts from Meiryo (MeiryoKe), reducing size of fonts for reading and composing messages, and size of fonts for pop up menus (but not buttons).
I also succeeded to divert have incoming SMS messages get delivered to Pocket Outlook instead of the Softbank Mail application, but still have MMS (S! Mail) functionality handled by that application. (It seems that I can send outgoing SMS by either application)
I also figured out how to remap buttons and found out how to disable the Softbank Mail button on the Joggr (which was pretty annoying because I would accidentally hit it all the time, so I had to disable the entire Joggr).
I'm looking for information about how to enable Internet Connection Sharing - I haven't been able to get this working yet.
There's no forum, so I'll post here . . .
khammo01: have you posted your overall experience with X02HT anywhere yet? I'm using X01HT now -- WM6 in eigo. I'm guessing the X02HT came from Softbank already in English, right? If I switch over to the X02HT, I assume that the level of hacking I will have to do is much less than what I went through to get my X01HT working. The hacks you are mentioning are fairly minor tweaks, so am I correct in my assumption?
Thanks!

Hello All,
I'm willing to dedicate the time and effort to develop applications and maybe create a Free CID Unlocker. I'm in 3rd Year I.T & Business Management, I've completed a course in Microsoft Visual Basic. I'm interested in learning more about Windows Mobile 5/6 to further develop applications based on people's needs. I don't want to promise anything but I'm willing to put in all efforts if someone can guide me in the right way. I'm interested in developing applications, yes i'm a newbie to applications development but not a newbie to smartphone/pocket pc phones. I've owned an I-Mate Jam and currently own the HTC s621/Dash/Excalibur. I'd love to develop applications and most of all find a way to CID Unlock the excalibur. If someone who has experience in this field can help me or guide me to the right guides to pursue applications development for Windows Mobile/Pocket Pc, I'd really appreciate it. 2 Members are ready to donate, they are r0p3 and egosumpaul. i don't mind co-working with a group of people to develop a free CID unlocker and maybe applications. Yes, i know nothing in terms of applications development but everyone at one point don't know anything as well. There's always a start somewhere and I want to start now as I'm also going to be specializing in Telecommunications & Networking.
I have all resources, programs-wise and all windows mobile 6 ROMS. My device is application unlocked with security prompt off. Incase I do need programming software, i can get that as well, so no worries in the department of software, just need the guidance to do this, people start with no knowledge and with a few helping hands, we all can get somewhere. I see many people ask for FREE CID/SIM unlocking solution for the HTC Excalibur.
OFFER: 20 $
TESTING: I'm ready to test
SUPPORT: 2 Members (Egosumpaul & r0p3 - hats off to their determination) as of now, one willing to pay 20 $ and another one willing to pay 40 $ i think. total - 20 + 20 + 40 = 80 $
who's with me? please don't back off, i'd love to see support through this, i have hope - i hope we can get somewhere, if IMEI can do it, so can we - they are people too, sure they might be professionals but at one point they were like us, i don't mean to talk highly of me or anyone nor am i putting them down - i just don't want to pay 38 $ for CID Unlocking, I want to make a FREE CID Unlocking Solution for everyone. guide me in the right track and i'll try my best to do it. if someone's willing to make it and already are experienced, then please do so
Thanks in advance for everyone's support !
Co nfirm my 20...
20 Views & 1 Reply? C'mon I honestly thought i'd see more positivity in this thread. Everyone wants a Free CID/SIM Unlocker but if we don't work together, It's not going to be easy. If someone has any knowledge on this topic, please feel free to post, you don't have to make a donation, just enlighten me atleast. I have hope, even if i can't do it, i'll try and get somewhere - if not me, someone else.
Thanks for the support, egosumpaul - i noticed you linked my thread on gsm-forum as well. i appreciate it.
hmm..i don't think anyone's even interested, i'm gonna wait till tommorow and see - i hope to see some responses.
I agree with you lukybandit.
I made a poll here and am very disappointed about the result.
Seems most of the people are not willing to pay or even help.
Maybe they think "I don't care - somebody will do it - don't bother about it"
They don't see the hard work and time to crawl through Assembler code of IPL/SPL and the risk to completely break the device when patching it the wrong way.
Also see here for background
As for your idea of a CID unlock:
I think the better way would be a patched IPL/SPL that doesn't check for CID/VendorID and .nbh signing because it has more value since you can also flash cooked/modified ROMs.
Like pof did it with his USPL here for the HTC Touch for example (I donated 30$ for his work btw.)
SIM unlock would be another hard way to crack the encryption.
Good luck lukybandit that people wake up and support you!!!

Thanks for the support r0p3, and yeah... maype pof would like to take the challenge, he did a great job with the Touch.
I'm very interested in the subject of how these bootloaders work and the whole CID lock process, but know almost nothing about it. I'm curious but don't want to brick my device too much, as I already partially bricked it by playing with the registry... took a long time to hard reset it. I'd like to help but don't really know where to begin other than to say that we need complete ROM dumps from a CID locked device and a CID unlocked device... the by comparing them, we can see whats changed.
I'm just quickly replying to build interest and support for this cause - egosumpaul, mixx, r0p3 and me are willing to donate 20 $ for the cause so let's see more interest in this subject. c'mon now, almost everybody have their free SIM & CID unlockers, what about us? let's do something about it. i'm just going to have lunch and come back then post a detailed reply.
So Far, 4 Donors Ready - Let's See Some More - Cmon !

i really appreciate your efforts and the interest in the subject. I'm glad you're willing to donate and work for the cause. I've seen your threads and it's sad that people aren't really motivated to donate and help but let's not loose hope. We're 4 but hopefully soon we will have the support we need. For now, let's focus on what we can do to help. I've pm'ed you, check your pm. Thanks for the support once again.

I'm very interested in the subject of how these bootloaders work and the whole CID lock process, but know almost nothing about it. I'm curious but don't want to brick my device too much, as I already partially bricked it by playing with the registry... took a long time to hard reset it. I'd like to help but don't really know where to begin other than to say that we need complete ROM dumps from a CID locked device and a CID unlocked device... the by comparing them, we can see whats changed.

hey uccellino, i never thought about that one but a smart thought, I'm willing to dump my ROM - if anyone could guide me in the right way as to how to do it, I'll do it right away then hopefully we can get a member to dump his unlocked ROM. also, i know nothing about the subject too but that's how we learn, we always start somewhere so atleast we're at a better stage - the fact that we're willing to learn, put in the time and efforts - trust me, i don't want to brick my device either but i'll try my best and help. Thanks once again for the support.
UPDATE:
ok, i was playing around with HTC Trinity SIM_CID Unlocker downloadble at this link
http://rapidshare.com/files/20880414/HTC_Trinity_SIM_CID_Unlock_v1.zip
made by pof last night and even though i really didn't get anywhere, i was able to run the Unlocker on my device. It did not SIM or CID Unlock the device but here are the list of errors i got:
Couldn't list locked facilities
Couldn't reset facility01
Couldn't reset facility02
Couldn't reset facility04
Couldn't reset facility08
Couldn't reset facility10
Couldn't reset facility16
Couldn't reset facility32
Couldn't get CID1
Couldn't set SuperCID1
Couldn't get CID2
Couldn't set SuperCID2
____________
Final Result: Device SIM/Network lock removed and set to SuperCID
now i tried upgrading the rom image to WM6 after i did that and unfortunately i get the [ERROR 294] Invalid Vendor ID.
so it's clear that it did not work but here's the deal
the program did run so we could maybe use the same program layout, dump the rom's of locked and unlocked devices, compare them and maybe get somewhere.
now i'll try and get in touch with pof - the creator of this program for some help since he is an experienced guy and know's what he's doing. so the program runs but does not execute the code because obviously the code is different, we're looking to break in the code so for example:
Couldn't reset facility01
Couldn't reset facility02
Couldn't reset facility04
Couldn't reset facility08
Couldn't reset facility10
Couldn't reset facility16
Couldn't reset facility32
we can see that the program tries to reset facilities by doubling the facility number that is 01 to 02 to 04 etc. now i will have a look at r0p3's thread "SSPL possible for excalibur" and see if i can get some information there. I will upload the HTC Trinity SIM/CID Unlocker for those willing to look into this into more detail. if someone can tell me what exactly i'm looking for, i'm willing to go into the software specifics. i know it's not much but atleast we know the program works on our device, just does not break the code. I will also provide links to the WM6 ROM ImageS and to the ROM Bootloader update.
1) HTC Russian WM6 ROM

2) T-MOBILE WWE WM6 ROM

4) OLD ROM IMAGE

6) IMEI DASH V2 Unlocker

7) Mobile Registry Editor (Could Prove Handy)

alright, i've included all links to potential requirements. if there's anything else - please let me know. I'm also copying from the previous thread that is
SSPL possible for Excalibur

please refer for background purposes.

You can probably replace the resource on the exe with an excalibur IPL, or try to contact Des for help with SSPL.
So if I understand right I "only" would have to replace the Hermes IPL-Data with Excalibur IPL-Data in this SSPL and chances are good that it works.
So the SPL generated in RAM can be the same?
- r0p3
Of course, you must also patch it to bypass nbh signature checks... This was the "Holy Grail" achieved first by Des.
- Sleuth255
Yes I have read about this - the SSPL.exe generates a (patched) SPL in RAM so far I understand - and this SPL (generating code) can remain the same, am I right?
- r0p3
You need to patch ipl so it doesn`t hang on boot. we didn`t do it with breeze as it is the same as hermes. In spl you need to patch the cid check and nbh check function. Also, it`s omap, not samsung - the addresses are different
- sp3dev
ok that's the important posts from the thread.
hmm - I will see what I can figure out even though my programming skills are a little bit rusty...so all in all, that's all the information i thought we needed for now, if there's anything else i can add, please notify me. like i said i'm willing to put in the efforts and time involved in this project. let's do something about this as we are a big community and it disappoints me to see so many people not come forward, support or donate for the cause.
sorry about the long post. hope to see a free cid and sim unlock solution, that's all. Good Luck !
p.s: r0p3, can you please upload your ROM dump image? thanks.
Willing To Donate Information
I have a T-Mobile Dash that I've had SIM/CID unlocked, and I'm willing to donate and information you need. I'm a total nub when it comes to WinMo Firmware hacking, and I really don't know much about modern Smartphone designs (got out of PDAs a while back, then they took a quantum leap on me, and it's a whole new vocabulary). I have next to no programming experience, and I'm running Mac OS X, but I'm willing to give you ROM dumps and the like, if you need them.
I'd donate money, but I'm having enough trouble paying for my schooling and books and trying to find a new job. Sorry

perfect, thanks a lot. i'll try and find someone who can ask you to go through the proper steps required to extract a rom. it's ok - i understand, i'm going through the same but lol i want windows mobile 6 on my phone and at the same time help the community by trying to get the proper support to develop a free sim & cid unlocker. thanks in advance. i can provide a locked rom, no problem - i'm just unaware as to how to extract a rom, i'm going out for a bit but when i come back, i'll do some research and find out how to extract roms.
thanks once again, the support is slow but it's getting there, alright
i'm very disappointed at the response, 401 views and only 12 replies? you've got to be kidding me, this is pathetic ! i'm lost for words, say even if i take 300 views instead of 401 views, that's almost 300 people that's seen this thread and only 12 replies, what kind of support or response is this? you guys want a free CID/SIM but don't want to donate or support, forget donation - even a little bit of help...say ok i'll cut it down to 100 people viewed my thread, out of those 100 people, say only 10 people have knowledge on this subject - still only 12 replies which the majority is me. this is sad, i honestly can't believe the fact that i've barely gotten support for the right cause. i'm still willing to help and do whatever it takes, can people please start supporting this thread so we can get out there and do the dirty work to develop a free unlocking solution, please. thanks in advance
p.s: you don't have to donate, it's not necessary but just some technical support or guidance could really help us. why am i wasting my time, why'd i waste my time and wrote that update with links if noone really is ready to help me and the other members that are willing to do this? honestly, thanks to those who have shown interest in this cause and for your generous offer for donation.

Actually the idea is from pof (thanks ), who wrote this:
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.

For those interested:
OneNAND the chip
bkondisk.zip a tool to read off data -
More info on using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285003&highlight=bkondisk (thanks itsme )
So can someone who has unlocked their device please dump an image?
I will admit to being a viewer, keenly interested in the success of this tool, but honestly I am a follower. I had a Wizard and hacked the snot out of it, how? Using stuff off this wonderful forum. I didn't develop anything and I followed everything I read step by step because otherwise I have absolutely no idea what I am doing with PDA's, XDA's, Smartphones and all the other stuff. Unfortunitely I am also broke at the moment. That could change and if it does I would be willing to donate as this forum has always provided wonderful wonderful advise for me in more then one type of phone, operating system, etc. I never wrote anything in this thread before because I don't know what I have to offer. I don't have time, money, or knowledge. Guess you could say I am a bottom feeder. Not that I don't try. But I felt guilty about reading this thread without saying anything given your comments about people not supporting but are viewing. This could be a large part of the reason.
Anyway, there is my two cents. Sorry.

that's the thread I tried at that time to get a ROM dumped and flash it back.
But with that OS-image I was not able to extract the files out of it.
Got the files at that time only with imgfs-Tools and the "-nosplit" Option

Ok - here is the dump of IPL/SPL/GSM I had done with bkondisk - I think those are exactly what we need to explore and patch for a CID/SIM unlock

So what's the beg for donations for? Most of us here work on this stuff and give back to the community because we gain the knowledge that others share with us. Pardon me if I come off all high and mighty but you're really in the wrong forums. XDA developers have been around a VERY long time and it survived by what services are provided for free. Only recently has it been infiltrated by nubes who aren't interested in development and just want a free ROM or a free unlock solution. If people feel like donating to help the cause, give it to XDA Developers to help defray the hosting costs. Especially the additional influx by people just downloading ROMS and utilities. And if you use any of the tools developed by others, shouldn't they receive a substantial part of your donations?
You also realize, that most of the people begging for the free unlocking service are too cheap to pay for what has existed for a long time. I paid my 40 bucks the day my Dash arrived and have been enjoying throwing ROMS on it since. So those of us that already paid, we are not interested. Those who didn't are looking for a FREE solution. Yours isn't free. You want 20 bucks for the dream of a solution. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to come up with it, personally. Prove me wrong, please. But do it for free.

I´m willing to donate to the guy who makes the effort (since time is a scarce good...), or to the forum, if the developer suggests that. Anyway, I still prefer not to pay to imeicheck -for example- but motivate the guys to free the app. and make it available to everybody.
No sin that, right?

Not that it's a sin, but we see someone come along every once in a while "borrow" the tools that are made available (for free) on this site and use them to come up with a utility or a tool that they try to make money on.
Look at all the programs that take the reg patches we discover and put a front end on it and sell it for 30 bucks? It makes people no longer want to support the community because someone else makes money from it.
So in essence, it slowly destroys the community.
Now, he has a beautiful plan. If everyone on here pays him 20 bucks to help motivate him and he can't fulfill your dream, no harm no foul. Your 20 bucks didn't go for a guarentee.
Or, you could pay IMEI-CHECK 40 bucks and it will be onlocked... GUARENTEED.
I am not associated with IMEI-CHECK in any way. But if they offer a service that nobody else offers, they can charge whatever they want. 40 bucks isn't bad. Besides, they didn't beg anyone for money to figure things out and they didn't use anyone else's tools.

Yes there is such a thing as a free lunch - its how I unlocked mine FREE
HERE YOU ALL GO GUYS AND GALS
I have uploaded all the tools you need to unlock your diamond for FREE
only 3 easy steps to have a security unlocked sim unlocked Diamond
IGNORE THESE IDIOTS TRYING TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR THEIR SOFTWARE - IT IS FREE
http://rapidshare.com/files/411854232/DIAMOND_UNLOCKER.rar
Buy me a Coffee / Pint if this helped unlock your Diamond !
OLD:
you want a free SIM Unlock right? well tough ****, there's no such thing as a free lunch... if you want to get something, you need to give something.
1) contributing forum members... PM me for a free unlock with your IMEI & email. - if you have an account that has a) existed for a good few months and b) you actually contribute to the site (technical wizardy, or general helpfulness - meaning, you actually POST frequently), then just drop me a message and it's yours.
2) everyone else (new accounts/unregistered/few posts, this means you): [size=+2]Get SIM unlocked Here[/size]
for 1), it's not just restricted to XDA-Devs members, MoDaCo also counts, and no, I'm not in ****ing partnership with Paul; if you're a good little MoDaCo member, PM me there.
if you're eligible for a free unlock, you get 1, that's it... this works well for me because it solves the problem of ****ers ripping it off for eBay in bulk whilst at the same time ensuring the good people of the community can optionally donate, and thirdly, I can get something for my efforts too.
Free Security Unlock (not SIM)
for the more advanced users, who are interested in such stuff, soon we will also release a free CID and Security Unlocker (not SIM).

Good reminder
Very clear for me :
Life is not free and that's not Olipro or Cmonex fault, hard work and talent must be rewarded for sure.
Do a real hard work as Olipro does, in every domain you are good to, don't complain for nothing, you'll be rewarded, simple as this for me.
Thanks Olipro for the cheapest and best Diamond unlocker available !
That's the bottom line.
Re
I agree with Olipro!
Thank you olipro for you help in this comunity.
I'm waiting for my diamond that comes from france, locked to SFR.
When it arrives, can i send you a PM? I think i'm a good user in this forum
i've bought the unlocker, but i've a little question : is this flasher erasing all the memory of my phone ? and can i update radio rom after unlock ?
thanks !

you mean "will it hard reset me" - no, it will not Hard-reset you.
and once you have unlocked, you are free to flash whatever you wish forevermore.
ok ! thanks a lot for your hard work !
great work
you are the man
You certainly are amazing at all this...
My diamond is a SIM free import, but I would like to have the opportunity to unlock my upgraded "UK Orange" Diamond - of thats what I choose in November.
I bookmark this thread until then.
thank you so much!
good work!
Thank you so much for this. Done an amazing job. Wish this thread had appeared 2 days ago, before I paid htccode.com for an unlock code. Hey, no matter, lol. When the security unlocker etc comes available, could you please keep me in mind for this.
I hope that I have been of help to a number of people in this forum and will continue to help if and when I can. Unfortunately I can't do any of the stuff that you guys can. Wish I could but no matter.
Thanks again......
Thanks olipro, for creating a gem of a software
@OliPro
Will CID/Security Unlocking allow (as side effect) for running protected firmware on unporotected phones and wise versa, perhaps? AKA regional protection.

CID? no
Security unlocking? possible but untested.
the regional protection is retarded crap anyway, a mere hindrance at best if you want to spend the time "fixing" it out of the OS.
hard work should always deserve rewards. if you cant afford it then stop whinging. im a student, so money is always a issue to me, but thats no reason to use a stolen piece of software which the author has requested on several occasions and sites not to use it. i respect this and have not used this. luckily i dont need to unlock yet as my contract is on orange and i managed to get the phone cheap. its the principle! life is not free!
