Hi there.

I tried this with Cyanogenmod 7 and it works. Then I tried with Cyanogenmod 9 and it works too with the exception of data connectivity. It just doesn't connect. With the original SIM it works with no problem but with a sim from another company it doesn't. Calls and SMS works fine but there's no way I can connect to internet. I double check the APN settings and they are all correct.

I repeated the process from scratch through the whole cycle:

1. Official Rom Claro Argentina

2. Root/2dnInit

3. Install CyanogenMod 9 + Google Apps

4. Boot Cyanogenmod

5. Reboot into recovery

5. Install ICS_Defy_softunlock_v1.3 (EPU_U_00.59.01). Zip

5. Start with original chip

7. Shutdown and change to Movistar's sim

The patch worked. I can call and send messages but I still don't have data connectivity.

Neither 2G nor 3G. The APN from Movistar are properly configured and the options selected as well as "data enabled".

With the original Claro sim I do have 3G working ok.

The Baseband is "America / Argentina / Claro 3.4.2-107-9" (850/1900MHz)

I'll appreciate your knowledges.

Te hago una consulta, con que Rom flasheaste CM9? yo probe la ultima nightly 120714 y no me esta funcionando, tambien parti de la rom claro, 2 init, y todo, pero me tira un mensaje de "unlock sim" , tambien te pregunto, con que defy lo hiciste? el verde,el rojo o el defy+?

para tu problema simplemente tenes que configurar los APn de movistar, buscalos en internet y configuralos y vas a tener 3g.

Saludos

Don't work on Gingereload

I follow the steps carefully, but didn't work. I got Gingereload ROM, GB 2.3.6, with baseband epu93_u_00.60.03. I did this:

1- Install Baseband_change(EPU93_U_00.59.01).zip via 2nd_init

2- Reboot (still with original SIM)

3- Reboot and 2nd_init.

4- Install GB_Defy_softunlock_v1.3(EPU_U_00.59.01).zip via 2nd_init

5- Reboot (still with original SIM)

6- Shutdown and change SIM

7- Start phone with new SIM, and it's still locked :(

Any sugestions?

Will this work on a Defy+?

Hi,

I just picked up a Defy+ from a wholesaler online. It was supposedly unlocked already but it won't work when I placed my SIM card in it. My card is for Telus Mobility in Canada. Just curious if using this method will work on the Defy+. When purchasing the phone I was under the impression that it was just a Defy with bumped OS version and higher CPU clock speed, but essentially the same hardware. Telus previously offered the original Defy so I'm assuming that the Defy+ will work also. Any help/advice/info would be greatly appreciated.

Problems unlocking with quarxs new kernel

I have installed quarx new kernel in a green lens defy, and the softunlock does not work. It keeps on asking for my sim unlock number. Is there a manual way for placing the files in the second boot instead of the second init?
[Defy General] crakeron:
As quarx explained in the kernel thread, the memory ids (or something like it) are broken in his kernel. We have to wait, and then re-find what memory blocks are to be used ;).

Soft-unlocking will come later on the custom kernel

same here, not working on Quarx Oct-10, anyone has a temporally solution for this?, maybe manually replacing the files could work? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447950 this is a tutorial for unlock, but is only for CM7 i think....
[Defy General] labsin:
You can try running it manually from the terminal:

- Turn on Airplane Mode

- Run Terminal emulator and type "su" and then "bp_ptc" or "bp_ptc &" to be able to close the term emulator.

- Turn off Airplane Mode

If this works, try adding the lines to the init.local.rc

copying bp_ptc file to system/bin, turn on airplane and from terminal type "su" "bp_ptc", then turn off airplane, i miss something? because is not working, for me at least.

Hi,

I am trying flash Softunlock on cm7 for motorola defy. baseband is correct. I root the phone and then install 2nd-init recovery. and then reboot. and it keeps going to android boot menu. and I can not get it to boot to anything else. I mean it goes to boot menu with out me doing anything. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

[Defy General] labsin:
Did you already have cm7? If yes, why root & install 2nt-init? If no, select "normal" as auto boot somewhere in the settings. That should bring you to the stock rom. You can also try: tools>mount SD when connected to a PC so you can put things on the SD when it can't boot. Put the cm zip on the SD (and the gapp), flash it, wipe data, reboot. Then you are in cm7. Now you can flash the gb zip from the op.

lose phone signal after flashing the unlock zip file

Hey friends, I've followed every step on this tutorial and finally was able to unlock my defy, so thank you!!!! but now on, every a while, I completely lose the phone signal and it says there is no carrier available... I have cyanogen mod 7.2 (android 2.3.7) and it has already the baseband switched included into the phone settings. I'be tried americas, argentina, and then the 3 options there I have... claro, personal and other one... but no one worked...

Could you please give me any suggestion/help? Some times I need to to completely power it off, take the battery off and start all over again to make it works... but even doing this some times it doesn't work either...

So it is giving me a hard time... any help/idea? Thanks in advance to everyone... :)

New cwm zip

Sorry for the misspellings ^^

So I made a new zip that makes a bu of the file and patches it (adds the line to the right place).

Tested it and seems to work... Again I don't have a locked defy so can't really test. But the file in the 2nd-init foder has the line added and the binary is coppied and all have the right permissions so all should be good. Also with latest CM7 rom.

I'm just learning here, all begin is difficult. But my defy didn't go loco, so I think everyone will be ok if they install it ;)

For those who get 'no signal' even on first reboot with normal sim.

Check if your baseband is EPU93_U_00.59.01 in about phone. If not, or if it is and you want to try it, unzip the attached file to the root of your sd. Open the terminal emulator on phone. Write:

This last will take 5s.

And then reboot.

You can also try to replace the bp_btc in the zip with the one that corresponds with your baseband from:

Any hints for use with CM9 ? Baseband was updated it´s now EPU93_U_00.60.00...

For my the old bp_ptc worked for Defy+ (MB526) and latest CM7 nightly like a charm!

Now i tried latest CM9 but with the new baseband the softunlock doesnt work anymore - maybe there is another trick to solve this 'jail'...

If it is really the omap that lock the device, someone should be able to compare the (e)fuses of an sim locked and unlocked device?!
[Defy General] crakeron:
No idea for CM9...Have a look at labsins post (the one just before yours). Maybe that can help ;)
[Defy General] Ant-ON:
bp_ptc corrects bp in memory (using certain addresses), if the version bp is different from EPU93_U_00.59.01, it will not work.

There are two ways to solve problems:

1. Install bp version EPU93_U_00.59.01 (see post #36)

2. Dump bpsw and turn to for help to yakk from motofan ( I can not give a link:( ). He can do bp_ptc with address for a different version of bp.
[Defy General] labsin:
Links in my post were off. The first gives a list of basebands were he changed the offset. They should work.

Have updated the zip. Now it doen't add the line a second time if you run the zip twice (but I can't seem to get him give an error/message from the shell script, you can only see it in log).

It also adds the line before the Daemon instead of after the usbd service. For CM7 this is the same but there is a line inbetween the two with CM9 don't know if it really makes a difference. Can someone try?

Had to wait a day. Flashed a zip with low battery and get corrupted :/ Never flash with battery below 50% :D

If I boot my phone up without the original sim card in it, I don't get any errors about a missing sim card. Everything appears fine just no connection.

Would I have gotten a message about the missing card if this unlock didn't work? It will be a couple days before I can borrow a sim card from a friend and was just curious

I don't have an locked phone, but I just tried to help. The mapphone in /2nt-boot isn't used is it? Already tried the init.local.rc but will see.

The thing is that Quarx included this in the ramdisc, so we only need to put the bin inside the /system/bin/ with the right permissions.

Can you try deleting /system/bootmenu/2nt-boot/init.mapphone_umts.rc?

If it still work try to remove the latest lines from the /system/etc/init.local.rc (from service bp-ptc...) and see if it still works after this.

Won't harm your install. Only might need to flash the unlock zip again.

Yes it works. Removed the file and deleted lines from the second file. Rebooted the phone and the SIM is still unlocked. I had to turn on airplane mode and after that turn it off in order to be able to make calls.

[Defy General] poomex16:
I have updates from CM9 to Quarx CM10 10.18, then flashed kernel update v.4.

Then I have flashed Baseband_change(EP93_U_00.59.01).zip, but baseband doesn't change to EP93_U_00.59.01 (in "About Phone" it's EP93_U_00.60.03 all the time).

After flashing 2NTBOOT_JB_DEFY_27_10_12.zip from recovery I got bootloop, so I have removed bp_ptc from /system/bin and phone booted correctly.

I managed to remove simlock by running bp_ptc from terminal emulator, but that's not really neat solution.

What could be the reason that baseband doesn't change? I guess it's the reason for bootloop.
[Defy General] labsin:
The line in About Phone is just a string. It doesn't check witch bb you have, so you don't have to rely on it.

How did you remove the file? From bootmenu->mount /system to usb (or via adb from bootmenu)?

Did you re-added it to /system/bin to be able to run it from the terminal. Or do you run it from your sd via the terminal?

Etherway. Some ppl are complaining about bootloops with v4. I have installed this zip and don't have a bootloop.

But ether way, as I understand it should work by just adding the bin to /system/bin and rebooting.

one more question. would you guys recommend the CM Rom or MIUI Rom for this lovely phone?
[Defy General] labsin:
Look close at the CM development by Quarx in the last few weeks.

The custom kernel is already stable and bringing new features to our Defy!

I'm really impressed.

So I'd go for CMX
[Defy General] Wotryp:
I have a problem: i do a full wipe, install room 18-10, update v4, load the sytem and restart and Flash he the 2NTBOOT_JB_DEFY_27_10_12 UNLOCK, after that my phone never load the system and keep in cryogen animation forever.
[Defy General] poomex16:
That is exactly what has happend to me. Is there a way to check what exactly causes bootloop or in what situation it occurs?

To remove the file I have modified updater-script from 2NTBOOT_JB_DEFY_27_10_12.zip (changed "set_perm" command to "delete" for both files). Then I have added bp_ptc to /system/bin but with filename changed to bp_ptc2 so it does not run on boot.
[Defy General] labsin:
Good that you mention it here (for others). I tried to unable adb from the bootmenu. It hang, had to pull battery and it got corrupted...

Anyway, it obviously is something between the v3 and the v4

You can use uart to debug (if I'm right), but it seems easier to build the Rom without certain commits and see witch one breaks it.
[Defy General] crishardcore:
