Unlocking network via brute force - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I have one question, is it possible to unlock phone one this way?
Actually I need answer for the fallowing question : "How many attempts do I have to try to unlock network".
I want to make application which will try every single combination to unlock network. If there is not limit I think this will work just fine.
Thanks in advance

Usually 10 attempts on most phones,
There's from 5-10 digits for unlock codes or thereabouts. Some might be checksum digits or something, but unless the algo has been cracked noone knows which digits do what.
My Dells have 8 digits, some old LG Shines had 16 digits for example.
So unless you feel like playing russian roulette with your unlock chances you're not gonna get anywhere by brute forcing.
Usually once you run out you need the manu to apply some magic to add more chances, it's possible to find out how they do it but if that happened you'd prob already have a method to completely bypass the lock by then(?)

Urgently need Programmer

First of all the program I need is for someone to write is to get the MSL code from the HTC Harrier.
Is this possible? Yes
Its possible because the Radio Rom does not lock like the GSM Models, now entering the 6 digit MSL code from 000000 to 999999 will take me around 10 months to crack plus being totally bored.
What I need is for someone to write a program in RILCDMA (Rilcdma.dll) attached, to enter the unlock command eg:-
For A = 000000 to 999999
enter code to the ril unlock if error wait 10 secs
if ok display A to screen (This is unlock code)
Write similar to the above which can be done, just need a good programmer, plus whoever writes this code could make some serious money because not just me who wants it around 500000 people will want it.
Process will probably take 2 days to crack rather than 10 months doing it the human way. I think the software way be grate.
Anyone interested please reply to post and get cracking because I am willing to pay.
What exactly needs cracking? An unlock code?
A network access password (for free GPRS )?
I can program in c, and have dabbled in ppc architecture. Bit shady though, but I've made a non-gui ppc app before with no hicups.
Looks like he wants a program that will cycle through every combination of numbers and present this to the radio, check the status locked/unlocked, if still locked then proceed, if unlocked then quit.

numbers of attempts for simlock

Hello,
Does anyone know how many times i can enter a wrong code to sim-unlock a HTC phone, before the phone block itself ?
Does it depend on the model? I have a P3300.
Might be 3 or 5?
Thank you.
Any idea?
it's handled by the sim card itself not the phone
here it's always 3 but could vary with other countries
and companys
heck it even tell me 3 times max when i type in the sim after
a softreset
Ooops,
Thank you for the answer.
My question dealed with the network lock, if the phone is locked to a specific carrier and i want to use a sim from a different provider, i have to enter a code to allow this.
In that case, the number of attempts should be handled in the phone, but i will check this.
Thanks.

[Q] Face Unlock and Exchange Security Policy

Hi,
I had read earlier posts of the matter.
Most of them outdated. So I hope I can get an answer here.
After setting up Exchange credentials I am forced to enter a PIN\Password, and cannot use alternate ways to unlock my device such as pattern matching and face unlock.
I've seen .APKs for older models that bypass this.
Is there any thing that would work for my HTC One X?
If there is such a mail.apk that would allow me to do so I will probably need to root my device to use it right?
And yes another noob question incoming, brace yourselves-is it better to hold off with unlocking via HTC dev (required for rooting?) because they void the warranty if you do it through them?
any other idea of how to work around this issue?
thanks.
bump
bump
big big bump for this ...
I have a PIN on mine because of the exchange policy and it annoys me how you need to hit ok after entering the numbers when things like iOS and WP7 unlock straight after the last digit ..
Also anyone notice the lag when entering PIN?
Pattern unlock would be awesome ..
hmm.. another bump maybe?

Phone SIM/network unlock idea

Does anyone know how many characters are in AT&T unlock code, and if there is any known pattern? I wonder if an unlock code could be brute-forced by a program, which just keeps entering all possible combinations until it succeeds. I see the "unlock" screen has a delay of ~3 seconds, which is 28800 combinations in 24 hours. I would imagine the unlock application just calls into radio, so it's likely even faster to brute-force, because you can likely do several tries per second.
It was my understanding that unlock codes are based on imei and each phone has a limited number of tries before it becomes hard locked to a carrier.
It uses an algorithm based on the imei and other information as I understand it. Very device specific. As for the limited number of attempts, I've heard that before too, but never a solid confirmation that it is true. I expect it is though, If for no other reason than to prevent cracking it by brute force or other means.

G5 toast after update

My phone updated overnight and I woke up to the invalid sim. After reading through these forums I understand now why that happened and why I can't fix it. I run this phone through cricket and after reading some of the posts on here, I went ahead and paid for an unlock code. Problem is I have no way of entering it even with the service codes. Did this update block being able to enter unlock codes? BTW only reason I did this is because Sprint gave me the run around by stating that even though the phone is eligible for unlock, the previous owner has to call even though I already had the owners permission and all the info I needed and then it could take 2-3 days. I figured why not buy a code, didn't realize I would need a remote unlock figuring that I could get that screen to come up. My question is, is there some way of forcing the screen to enter the SPC or NPK codes to unlock the phone or am I just out 8 dollars and need to find another service that could do it remotely? Also how reliable are these remote unlocks?
The short answer is no.
Sprint doesn't use unlock codes for their devices.
Even you did manage up bring up the sim unlock prompt the code wouldn't work. You're out $8 unfortunately. You're gonna need to find someone to do it remotely.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also when doing a remote unlock ask seller if it unlocks apn menu also or that particular sellers in no good to you as you will have service but no data or no mms
