Unlock code reader for HTC S620 / Excalibur

---
Noctua Tech team presents software unlock code reader which allows you to easily SIM unlock HTC Excalibur (HTC S620/ HTC S621 / T-Mobile Dash / O2 XDA Cosmo / Orange SPV E600 / TMobile MDA Mail / HTC Excalibur):
​
Get the phone unlock code in just 3 simple steps:
Connect the phone to your computer using the USB sync cable
Launch HTC Multi Unlocker
See the unlock code for your HTC phone appear on the screen!
All codes are 100% correct for all networks and countries, code is read from the phone itself, no wrong codes are generated.
HTC Multi Unlocker will only display the phone's SIM unlock code, allowing you to use the phone with any GSM operator's SIM card.
This software does not perform CID-unlock or Security-unlock, this is done on purpose for those who want to remove the simlock, netlock and service provider lock restrictions and still keep the phone's warranty intact (it doesn't flash a radio, or SPL... nothing is modified on the phone).
How to get the unlock software?

If using a 6.5 ROM flash to stock or a 6.1 seems the 6.5's don't ask for unlock code

are you saying i need to flash back to 6.1? I don't understand what you're saying?
If im already on 6.5 and flash to stock it won't work?

You need to flash back to a 6.1 or 6.0 rom so the sim unlock message appears. Apparently on 6.5 roms you can't on the dash.

[APP] Sim Unlock Free without code

Hello,
I made new free app for unlock Galaxy S and his variants.
Galaxy S Unlock
This app need:
Root + Busybox + Active internet connection.
Not work on Docomo, Docomo have nv_data rev 0.400, International Galaxy S have rev 0.800 and rev 1.500
Tested and worked for Galaxy S sold with android 2.1 (for vibrant and captivate this method is the same of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8983897&postcount=103 compiled in apk)
Tested and worked on Galaxy S sold with android 2.2 in france all new GS sold with android 2.2 must use step 2 for 2.2.
Link to first test:
http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/38909-apk-pour-desimlockage-cherche-testeur/

For security, save your /efs folder
Step 1 save your /efs folder
Step 2 Unlock your phone in 60 seconds, black screen is normal(get the good step2 for phones sold on 2.1 or 2.2)
Step 3 Built .nv_data.bak (after restart)
And last choice restore /efs folder saved on step 1 if you have any problem.
This is not a final version, test at your risk
Edit 07/02/20011:
Unlock method is changed by only "change lock-bytes" because minority phones have random signal problem and several users delete the backup of efs folder and send me a message for help after
Please send a message for inform me if this method work good for phones sold on 2.2

why the active internet connection ?
just write an apk that will change the lockbit in nv_data.bin and rebuild
it should only need root access
anyway .. a good start

If the phone was sold with Android 2.1 and upgraded to 2.2 with Kies witch step 2 i will chose? Thx.

Lockbit is à good idea but with normal unlock nv_data have more changes.
With internet connection, i download my generic unlocked nv_data and i built a real unlocked nv_data.
I have retourn of SGS unlock pro and new nv_data on phone sold with froyo, just Lockbit change make problem with 3g and call.
And my unlocked nv_data are in zip, just 15kb...

I am currently running 2.2.1, any experience with this FW?

I can send you the proper nv_data.bin template file File attached .. now you can include it in your apk and like this, your program will have to extract the imei from original nv_data.bin and after, insert it into the template and then replace it in efs (also deleting the md5 in the process).
One click job and still no internet connection
FULLY Tested on 2.2 and 2.2.1 (stock/factory 2.2 / 2.2.1 and also 2.2 / 2.2.1 upgraded from 2.1)
PS: Add an input box so one can chose a new NCK and Freeze code for later re-locking by code for warranty *7465625*638*# and like this, they won't need any app to re-lock it since they have the code the phone accepts

It's work on 2.2.1 i have good returns.
But the must important is original version of Android 2.1 or 2.2 for step 2.

Good job , it worked perfectly on my SFR locked SGS. Thanks a lot.

I don't need you for have à good nv_data for unlock.
I unlock I9000 since september and my method is à reference of all other.
My choice for download is just a choice.
And my 2 unlocked nv_data was made with a normal unlock method. After i change just a imei and product code.
And for relock for garanty, just reinsert efs save of step1 and it's good.

as you wish .. but I was ready to help
and please, next time don't start the whole "I unlock since september" .. you should know better who unlocked the SGS first

Helroz, your technique that you proposed was a hell of an idea, think this is just a program that compiles everything ! Anyway, big thumbs for your good job, ur method was the only one that helped me unlock my SFR Galaxy S !
Again, Thx

Not better but my method work and was invisible if phone goes to repair.
I made the same files if this is unlocked with the code.

Man you saved my life , was trying to unlock with everything and nothing
im on froyo 2.2 from Bell Galaxy S Vibrant, did it twice and second time work like a charm.
Merci beaucoup mon ami!

RazvanG, your proper nv_data unlock réf, This is Not the mine ???
I see my mods in. (imei, unfreeze,simunloc,productcode...) This mods made by me i have this file in my computer, because i have made this file.

Does not work on Docomo SC-02b .... Big suprize... stupid special docomo version ...

Stupid question...but how can you tell if its worked without putting another sim card in...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Excellent, je galérais pour le desimlock j'ai lancé ton appli sans trop y croire et pouf, plus besoin de menacer Orange pour le code de desimlock.
Un grand merci.

The attached file is HEXed and extracted from a proper-unlocked 2.1 to 2.2 using codes provided, based on IMEI.
If your solution uses the same file structure, than is it good to go.
Just add it to your apk (yes, it will be 2 MB bigger) but won't need an internet connection at all and also, add an input box for the user so one can chose its own NCK and/or Unfreeze (and like this, will be able to re-lock it without a backup of the original /efs)

^^
No need 2mb, if i zip files, just need 30kb (I use 2 differents nv_data unlocked).
I work for automatic selection of good nv_data version for unlock (new nv_data is not compatible with old) this is a reason for sold on 2.1 or 2.2, but now i have lots of problems for read a version extracted in a .txt file and made a comparator. (this is my future update).
For simlock and unfreeze keys, this is à bad idea, i made this on .jar file on windows and i sent a confusion. I have message of user: why is the code?
Efs save is simply and have original files.
For download or make files in apk, i like download, i have an admob and admob don't work offline. One day....perhaps
I'm not very good for made apk but it's work.

I have a Nokia Lumia 610 that was bought from Carphone Warehouse and was carrier unlocked straight out of the box, the only firmware i can find on navifirm that is remotely close is Tesco_GB does this lock it to tesco or just put tesco branding on the phone? there are other firmwares that say CV_GB_VAR22....whatever, are these for UK (Great Britain) and what effect does it have on the phone?
sorry for all the questions, ive done loads of googling on this and cant find a scrap of info that would help.
Thanks

Wich fw do you use?

Lumia 900 cannot remove a battery for an RM number. I'd want to back my phone up before doing this in case something goes wrong.

Windows 8 WORKS. I just got it to work atleast. After you installed the Care Suite, you need to go to the install location and then the drivers folder. Install all of those and it now turns up in the options screen.

[GUIDE] Download ANY firmware customization from Sony & create an FTF with Flashtool

[GUIDE] Download ANY firmware customization from Sony & create an FTF with Flashtool

Build Prop Editor
The customization number of the firmware you want to download (see list, only customizations for the same phone model)
Start BuildProp Editor.
When a Superuser request pops up, tap 'Grant' or 'Allow'.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
At the first start, a backup of 'build.prop' will be created automatically, which can be restored in case of any problems.
Scroll down to 'ro.semc.version.cust' and tap it.
Change the value to the customization number of the firmware you want to download.
When asked to reboot, tap 'No'.
Tap 'ro.semc.version.cus_revision' and change the value to 'R1A'.
When asked to reboot, tap 'Yes'.
Part B: downloading firmware with Sony PC Companion
Requirements:
Sony PC Companion
Xperia smartphone with locked bootloader
Delete this folder if it already exists:
- Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db
- Windows Vista/7/8: C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db
Start Sony PC Companion.
Case A: new software version available
Click 'Update'.
Click 'Accept'.
If you only want to download the firmware without updating, disconnect your phone as soon as the "Downloading software..." screen appears.
If you disconnected your phone, this window will appear, which you may close. Otherwise your phone software will be updated.
Case B: no new software version available
Click 'Your Phone / Tablet is up to date'.
Click 'repair my phone / tablet'.
Click 'Next'.
Repairing your phone will delete your personal data and settings. If you don't want this, see step 6. Click 'Continue'.
Tick the checkbox and click 'Next'.
If you only want to download the firmware without repairing, disconnect your phone as soon as the "Downloading software..." screen appears.
If you disconnected your phone, this window will appear, which you may close. Otherwise your phone software will be repaired and your personal data will be lost.
Part C: creating an FTF file with Flashtool
Requirements:
Flashtool
Firmware files from Sony PC Companion or Sony Update Service (see part B).
Start Flashtool or Flashtool64 (for 64-bit Windows).
Click 'Tools' > 'SEUS Decrypt'.
Select the 'Source Folder' (copy-pasting this path will not work):
- Sony PC Companion (Windows XP): C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs
- Sony PC Companion (Windows Vista/7/8): C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs
- Sony Update Service (32-bit Windows): C:\Program Files\Sony Mobile\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
- Sony Update Service (64-bit Windows): C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
Move all 'Available files' to 'Files to convert' by selecting them and clicking the right arrow button.
Click 'Convert'.
Enter the following details:
- Device: your phone model, e.g. 'C6502', 'C6503' or 'C6506' for Xperia ZL (see 'Settings' > 'About phone' > 'Model number').
- Branding: can be found in the first columns of these tables by looking up the customization number, e.g. 'Customized US'.
- Version: the build number of the firmware, e.g. '10.1.1.A.1.307'.
Move all files from 'folder list' to 'Firmware content' except *.ta files (e.g. simlock.ta, preset1.ta, cust-reset.ta, ...) by selecting them and clicking the right arrow button.
Click 'Create'.
When you see 'Bundle creation finished', your FTF will be in 'C:\Flashtool\firmwares'. If your combination of device/branding/build is not yet available on xda-developers forum, please be so kind to share it (see part D).
To save about 2 GB of disk space, delete this folder:
- Sony PC Companion (Windows XP): C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs
- Sony PC Companion (Windows Vista/7/8): C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs
- Sony Update Service (32-bit Windows): C:\Program Files\Sony Mobile\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
- Sony Update Service (64-bit Windows): C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
Part D: sharing your FTF on xda-developers forum
Upload your FTF to a file host. I use Dev-Host for this purpose, but it only supports files up to 512 MB, so I use WinRAR to pack my FTF with the following options: 'Compression method' = 'store' (since FTF is already compressed), 'Split to volumes, size' = '512 MB'. Of course you can use a different file host and archiver if required. Please note that Google Drive, Dropbox and Box all have bandwidth quotas, so your shared files may be disabled if they are downloaded too much.
Create a new thread on xda-developers forum in 'Xperia ZL General' and include at least the following information:
- Device
- Build number
- Android version
- Customization version
- Region
- Branding
- Download links
Here is an example: [STOCK ROM][FTF] Xperia Z (C6603) 10.1.1.A.1.253 Generic BE (Unbranded/Belgium)

because for example in a xperia x10 mini, flash the ftf file from other country, the cellphone show the message input the code for sim unlock

That's correct. Flashing a different firmware customization does not lock or unlock your phone. SIM lock is inside the Trim Area (TA), which does not get flashed.

I already have got the ftf file from my generic 4.2.2 from Argentina. I'm uploading it and then will share it thanks Apollo89

Does the device unlockable allow go to yes if you flash an international or debranded ROM?

I think he meant the bootloader unlockability, and the earlier post meant the network operator unlocability....

Both the bootloader lock and the network lock settings are stored in the Trim Area (TA) of your phone, which does not get affected by Flashtool. So no, flashing a different firmware customization will not change anything to your bootloader lock or network lock status.

Part B, Case A: The downloading window disappears when I disconnect the cable. Doesn't matter whether it's before or after clicking accept.

1. To root 10.3.1.A.0.244 / 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware, you need to downgrade your kernel to the one from 10.3.A.0.423, then root your device and upgrade the kernel to the latest version again. See DooMLoRD's guide.
2. If you lost LTE, you probably flashed C6502 firmware. It's recommended to stick with firmware that is made for your phone model (C6506), otherwise you will probably not be able to receive any future updates (due to IMEI/TAC mismatch).
3. You say you 'rooted' with Flashtool? Then you probably clicked the 'BLU' button and unlocked your bootloader, which means that your DRM keys got erased permanently (so no more Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2, MusicID/Gracenote, etc.) and your warranty is now void...
4. To change to a different firmware customization, you can follow this guide, but if you flashed the wrong firmware (for a different phone model), it may not work and you may have to download and flash an FTF for C6506 first. Also, this guide cannot be used if you unlocked your bootloader.

everything is as it came out from the store now...
now the next step is to find a ROM with blue framework
id like to try that one but i gotta be sure it will work http://www.androible.com/how-to-update-sony-xperia-zl-to-cm10-2-android-4-3-jelly-bean-custom-firmware/

great job. Thanks ! :good:

In this new firmware there are some items that previously didn't have. Should I delete just preset1.ta?

[GUIDE] Flashing a different customization on the XQ-AT51 with FlashTool

You can find out your current customization by dialling *#*#SERVICE#*#* -> Service info -> Software Info -> Customization Version. This guide explains how to flash another official Sony firmware of different customization onto your Xperia 1 II XQ-AT51. You do NOT need to unlock your bootloader to do this.
Download and install FlashTool from http://www.flashtool.net
On Windows you will then need to install the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers.
On Linux you do not need to install drivers, but you do need to set some udev rules.
On Windows you will first need to reboot Windows with driver signature enforcement disabled to do this. Then install the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers from the installed C:\FlashTool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Open Flashtool and let the device database sync
This may fail on Windows if you have Windows Defender Antivirus Real-time protection running -- disable Windows Defender Antivirus Real-time protection in Windows settings:
Click on the XperiFirm icon to get a list of official Sony firmwares:
Select the XQ-AT51 on the left, and the select the particular Customization you would like. Then click on the box below "Available Firmware" to start downloading:
Once the Firmware has downloaded, close XperiFirm and then let FlashTool do some processing on the downloaded firmware to create a .ftf file of the firmware in your C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\firmwares folder.
This step is no longer needed as the FlashTool database has now been updated. This step is temporary and will not be required once the FlashTool devices database has been updated for the XQ-AT51.
Download the .fsc file and .properties file and unzip them into a new folder in C:\Users\<username>\.flashTool\mydevices\XQ_AT51 . Rename the .fsc file to "58.0.fsc" to use it with more firmware versions. Then in FlashTool's menu choose Devices->Manage->Import -- this will give an error, but ignore.
Now click on the Flash button and choose Flashmode.
Set up the Firmware Selector window as follows - this setup will erase all data on your phone. Then click Flash:
When prompted, power off your phone and then hold down the volume down key on your phone and connect a USB cable from the phone to your computer (do NOT use the UCB24 USB C - USB C cable that comes with the phone -- the UCB24 is for charging only and does not work -- you need to use a quality USB C - USB A cable or try the UCB32 instead). Keep the volume down key held until the notification light turns green. The flashing process will now be prepared.
When you get a prompt saying "A FSC script is found. Do you want to use it?" choose yes. An error of "those data are not in the fsc script: persist, reset-non-secure-adb" is entirely normal, so choose Yes, and let the flashing commence. If you get a prompt asking you to select a partition, select the top option for 128GB storage and the bottom for 256GB storage -- if unsure click cancel. If you get "ERROR:null" then repair your phone with Xperia Companion first.
Flashing will be complete when you see "Sync status : OKAY".
If you are worried as to whether the flashing worked or not, you can always then do a software repair using the Xperia Companion software. Please check your storage after flashing - some users are reporting that they only are seeing 128 GB of storage instead of 256 GB - please repair with Xperia Companion if you see this and report in the comments below.

I bought the phone from O2UK with the O2 firmware and managed to successfully flash it to the 1321-7192 Customized UK firmware with FlashTool. I now have VoLTE and WiFi-Calling on Vodafone UK .
FlashTool settings:
Here is the before and after Software Info in the *#*#SERVICE#*#* menu:
Here is the before and after in the *#*#4636#*#* Phone Information menu:
EDIT: I turned off and on again the WiFi Calling setting in My Vodafone and now Wi-Fi calling is also provisioned!:
UPDATE: After the 58.0.A.3.88 update on Vodafone with Customized UK, I no longer see Wi-Fi calling as being provisioned, nor do I get the Wi-Fi Calling menu option in network settings. However, Wi-Fi calling is actually still working and still turns on automatically when I get low cellular network strength.

Does this unlock the ability to have dual sim? I know you would still need a different sim tray. but if the phone will support dual sim after flashing that would make a huge difference for me.

No idea. Are there not more hardware differences than just the SIM tray?

I have no idea, On my OnePlus 7 Pro the only difference was the software and the sim tray, converted it to in global software and replaced the sim tray and dual sim worked.
Hoping its the same for this phone too.

I've managed to do this, but seems like I am only seeing 128GB of storage now? Is that normal, I didn't check before.

No, that is not normal:
You should only have 128GB on the Japanese models. Did you flash a Japanese firmware?

Customized UK 58.0.A.3.31, and used your files provided above.

Works fine now after running Software repair on Xperia Companion. Stayed on the generic firmware as well.

I've gone to try this and Flashtool can't see any downloaded firmwares. In your screenshot the left panel has the model tree, mine is blank. The location is correct as I can see the files there in Explorer. Same both my computer's. Odd.

Did you download the .properties file to the exact folder specifed and did you do a Devices->Manage->Import?

Got it, I missed the bit about renaming the FSC to 58.
Don't remember having to do this when I used to use this!

Done.
I have also made a pull request in the FlashTool devices db so that we won't have to do the .fsc and .properties bit in the future.

I have two quick (hopefully related) questions.
1. Has anyone tried to flash XQ-AT51 firmware on XQ-AT52? Obviously, I know Dual SIM may be impacted, but does it work? Any other issues?
2. Is there a CSC version of XQ-AT51 software for USA yet? I couldn't find it on XperiFirm.
Thank you so much!

I would like to know this too, we might have an answer soon enough since it looks like some people have ordered the 1 ii from wandamobile which basically ships the HK dual sim version.

I'm getting an issue when I'm flashing either the Customized UK rom or the O2 one where it gets stuck installing dsp.000, have you seen this before?
If I exclude dsp.sin from the flash it completes fine but the screen resolution is really basic so I'm assuming its the display drivers. Running a repair from the Sony Companion after the flash fails.
Stuck! Can anyone help? TIA

Agreed 100%. I would like to flash the USA firmware from the XQ-AT51 on my XQ-AT52, but (a) I don't know if it's advisable to do that, and would like to hear from someone who has; and (b) it doesn't appear that there is USA firmware yet for the XQ-AT51!
Hope we get our answer soon.

Apologies if its a noob question but if I flash different region software, will I loose DRM keys?

No

Ok managed to fix my issue, In the end I swapped the cable I was using which didn't occur to me as parts of the flash worked so assumed connectivity was ok.
I originally used the USB C - USB C cable that came with the phone. Swapped that to a USB C - USB A cable and the flash completed successfully!
Massive sense of relief after many hours of messing around with it! Hopefully this might help someone in the future
