Hi, this is my first por here. I've been reading the topic for a while because I was trying to unlock my stock ROM and following that steps it worked!!!

What I did:

- Flash a stock Firmware 2.3.5 through RSD Lite

- Root and and install 2Init

- Flash Baseband_change(EPU93_U_00.59.01).zip and GB_Defy_softunlock_v1.3(EPU_U_00.59.01).zip

- Reboot with the original SIM

- Reboot again with a different SIM and it asked me for the subsidy code

- Turn on Airplane Mode

- Run Terminal emulator and type "su" "bp_ptc"

- Turn ofr Airplane Mode

And it´s working without any issues, I can send/receive messages and calls!

If I reboot i must do the Terminal Emulator thing again
[Defy General] labsin:
Thanks.

What I thought. I don't think you need to be on 2.3.5 tho (Defy(not +) users DON'T flash it).

Will try and find (ask) how to use the 2nt-init boot on stock rom's. (Maybe Walter can tell more)

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

And ps:

If it force closes or something.
[Defy General] eze92:
Yes I forgot, I have a Defy+. I was trying to patch manually the init.mapphone_umts file but there´s no difference
[Defy General] labsin:
Can you try this? (please use nandbackup first)

It includes baseband and everything. Sets boot to 2nt-init, if it doesn't work try to set it back to normal so you don't have to restore the backup (takes long time).
[Defy General] eze92:
It lets me boot on 2nd-init and normal mode too but it ask me for subsidy code I and have to use terminal emulator

[Defy General] labsin:
So no more bootloop when boot with 2nt-init?

That's good. Should be easy then.

Try this then? Should be it.

If not, try to delete the # in rule 329 of init.mapphone_umts.rc so it says " oneshot".
[Defy General] eze92:
No more bootloops but it doesn't work yet :( I also tried deleting the # and it continues asking for the code

I bought a brand new unlocked Defy with stock Android. If I rooted it then installed a custom ICS Rom, do I still need to do this?
[Defy General] labsin:
You only need this if you can't use your phone with other SIM's than from the carrier you bought the phone from.

CM 7.2

Hi all of u .. i've read this thread from the 1st post to the End (My defy is locked on orange UK)

Am still Confused of how to do these procedures

Am using CM7.2 20120610 Nightly Jordan

baseband version EPU93_U_00.59.01

i wana try and do it with the zip files 1st

Or manuallly(but i'll need some help with this)

so shuld i flash the baseband change 1st

and also where is the softunlock v1.2 that worked for CM7

the attachements on the 1st post is for

GB_Defy_softunlock_v1.3(EPU_U_00.59.01).zip,

ICS_Defy_softunlock_v1.3(EPU_U_00.59.01).zip and

Baseband_change(EP93_U_00.59.01).zip

PLease help
[Defy General] labsin:
You just have to flash GB_Defy_softunlock_v1.3(EPU_U_00.59.01).zip (CM7 is GB) with a working sim in your phone(don't has to be while flashing, but you will have to boot one's with it), power on, power off, replace the sim and you should be unlocked. Flashing the baseband changing zip doesn't harm. You can flash it to be sure but you don't need to.

It doesn't matter witch order.

There should be no problem on CM7.
[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
Thanks for replying bossman i'll try it and let u guys know ... cheers

softunlock success with msginger4

At least, success with msginger4 and i hope with stock rom. Thx at all and Walter79! Link

flash right baseband and walter79 softunlock via cwm
[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
unfortunately

Did not work for me dude

here is what i did

went to recovery mode flashed the GB softunlock, rebooted with the orange locked sim... turned off mob and switched to new sim ...

Couldn't get a signal with the new sim ( did i have to wait longer than 1 min ??) coz i didn't

as i did nt get a signal i went to recovery and flashed baseband change ...

rebooted with orange sim .. and couldn't a signal too...

rebooted with new sim .. and it got stuck in the cm7 bootmenu

rebooted with orange sim n got got stuck as well

so had to flash cm7 again .. but didnt loose any apps thank god

Any ideas mate !!

anything i did wrong here ??
[Defy General] labsin:
You have to use basebandswitcher in defy settings afterwards. If it says no service I.o. unlock code your unlocked.

[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
Hiya, its done... its working.

There is always A BUT lol... am using 3uk network after unlocking.. but the connection keep droping from time to time even voice call.

The best working baseband is the the hongkong/Taiwan 3.4.x but still keep dropping... any ideas y it does that ???
[Defy General] crakeron:
Probably nothing to do with the unlock. Have a look if you have the correct carrier selected in defybaseband changer ;)
[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
OK

i.ve got the defybaseband swicher installed so am just going to try another baseband to c how it goes on 3uk

By the way anyone here using 3uk network on defy ... if so which baseband are u guys using...

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1831796/+1160

this guy here is using 2.51.1

so am gonna give it a try and c

give u a hint laters
[Defy General] crakeron:
Can i get confirmation that the unlock is now working with all ICS builds?

P.S. Passed my exams :D
[Defy General] labsin:
Can you test this one? From Walter's example.

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

Congrats. I still have one left (on Tuesday).

Edit:

Seemed to work: Post 289

Only for Stock GB. Could also be done for GB but these should really consider CM7 anyway.

Just follow the guide in the OP but use the attached zip i.O. the one from the OP. I included the Baseband change because most Defy+ roms have different.
[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
Congrats crakeron...

I changed the sim from 3uk to another (vectone mobile) right...

And i still get conection problem as soon as i start to use data conection heavily.. so at this point i cant call and i cant download so, i get this prob with both sims... so have to reboot and then it get stuck at cm7 boot logo with the round animation which keeps on going for minutes....

I must take the battery out and then it will get stuck at boot logo again .... i keep doing this untill its up and running

Any ideas y this is happening ??
[Defy General] labsin:
Data wipe? Latest rom? I don't know. R u sure this is not the other sim?

For bb you could try Great Britain 3.4.2-117 or 4.5.1-85...
[Defy General] crakeron:
No idea.. it doesn't seem like it's anything to do with the actual unlocking operation, it's wierd.. Are you SURE it couldn't be something else like changing a setting or updating your rom or whatever?

Up untill now i've seen people having no network signal, no connectivity, but absolutely no signal/connectivity drops...at all :/. This is a first.

What exactly did you flash in order to unsimlock?

Try what labsin recommends too. It could help too. Again, we're both surprised by your issue. We've never seen it happen
[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
Started from the beginning again

Hiya, Me is back after a data wipe ... having the latest cm7 16 june version installed ... with no apps watsoever

lets start from the beginning ...

Orange locked network ... baseband version EPU93_U_00.59.01 ...

Reboot to recovery .... flashed: GB_Defy_softunlock_v1.3(EPU_U_00.59.01).zip

Reboot with orange working sim ...it got stuck at boot animation at 1st boot ....

after mins of waiting ... took out battery, changed sim to vectone and it booted up very nicely to OS .. showing the vectone network ... very good

Issue is still there though... tried to do a call to my other mob for few secs .. working fine ... i hang up .. try to connect to google play ... start to receive some data .. and then stop completely.... no calls n no data from now on/cant even receive calls

i mean mobile is working fine but the signals kind of stuck/freeze ...

tried changing the baseband to another .. reboot and it get stuck at boot animation again, unless i take out and put battery back again.... tried a t-mobile simcard .. same thing ... i've been with it all night trying to tweak some options here and there but no improvement...
[Defy General] labsin:
As you have no data to lose now, try again wiping data/factory reset and cache. Install the rom and see if you can reboot normally with the sim from the right carrier. Try changing the baseband without the unlocking.

If you run into troubles then, it is best to open a new threat. If not try flashing the unsimlock again and afterward go to advanced >show log and see for messages apart from the 'can't mount' messages (without reboot form the recovery). Then reboot. Does it hang on boot?
[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
Ok i did a new flash n using the carier sim rite now already so i will try and do those steps as u said ... and will keep in touch after that
[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
i changed the baseband 2 times without the unlocksim .. and it was not stuck at boot or anything .. it was alrite .. so no problem there i think.

2nd step

after flashing the GB unsimlock stuff..

i did advance/show log without rebooting as u said and i got this:

i did not know what to look in the message so i am writting it all:

mount: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 at/system: device or resource busy

mount: failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 at/sdcard: device or resource busy

**************about to run program [/tmp/bi.sh] with args

*unsimlocking defy*

***************script result was [/sdcard]

after this i rebooted and it was stuck at boot animation with the working carier sim... its been 3 mins now and am still waiting while writing this post... 5 mins and am still waiting for it to boot ... i guess i have to take out the battery .. after replacing battery it booted straightaway ...
[Defy General] crakeron:
hmm it's very wierd.. Let's have a deeper look

-Give us a logcat of your phone right after you lose connectivity (install an app called "Catlog". As soon as you notice your connectivity loss, open the app and save the log somewhere to give it to us)

-send us your init.mapphone_umts.rc file under the root directory of your internal memory
[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
Defy init and catlog

As you requested Crakeon, i uploaded the 2 files ... please have a look and see if u find anything wrong ... thanks

and sorry for so much trouble
[Defy General] eze92:
It worked! I flashed it, reboot twice with the original SIM, then with the other SIM and it worked without any issues! Thanks!! :)
[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
No bother

ok, so before the youtube app stopped downloading,

i downloaded nimbuzz(6mb) OTA without any trouble .. and before downloading i made a call to my other mob for about 2mins......

All this was on the 3uk sim .. but when i try somthing on the vectone sim .. it doesnt work for even 2mins if i want to make a call or download sumthin

U know i wont be a hassle anymore .. i think i'll get the unlock code from ebay ...

it will b much more easier lol...

by the way i c that u have a french flag .. are u french ??
[Defy General] crakeron:
Okay. Sorry we couldn't help much on that one :).

[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
Hiya again everyone ... i unlocked me phone through ebay (it worked fine).

Now the problem is why does it ask me sim network pin everytime i flash a new rom or factory reset ???
[Defy General] crakeron:
Because a simunlock is software-sided. The ROM gets unlocked, not the phone itself to be more accurate. Each time you update or flash a rom you must re-unlock it
[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
hiya crakeron, i must that this method of unlocking worked perfectly the other day :) when i tried .. it was my defy that is a bit dodgy .. even after code unlocking its still the same( loosing signal or droping data connection) any idea mate where i can find some help about this ?? any troubleshooting we can do Or anyone using a defy on a 3uk network ??
[Defy General] labsin:
You can try asking a new sim with the same number. Say that you have troubles and not with an other sim. In a shop, they can give a new one instantly. Don't know if it's really the prob. But should be free.

Unsimlock your Defy

Please Explain the features .how this help full for our defy .
[Defy General] crakeron:
The act of unsimlocking is unlocking your telephone for it to work on all networks and with all sim cards. Usually you must wait a few months/a year before obtaining the unlock code from your gsm carrier. Another method to unsimlock the Defy has been discovered, and we don't need the code :D. Our flashable zips completely automate the unlocking process, all you have to do to unsimlock your telephone is flash the files in the OP.

[Defy General] labsin:
No need to update to gb (at least not from motorola). CM7 is advisable.

The stock unlock is for gb (stock or the ones from walter)

No unlock for froyo. And bill need to. For the defy, the best option is cm7.

[Defy General] nenad163:
I cant understand from just one quoting :(, does this mean that after flashing the zip it works after reboots as well?
[Defy General] labsin:
If you press the quoted post you'll be directed to that. That zip contains the baseband, a init script to start the stock rom (with the script for the unlock), a file to set the default to 2nt-unit and the script. Just flash and use bbswitcher afterwards.

So just use the same as the ones in the op but no need for the baseband zip. I included it cause I think most gb roms have an other baseband.

Which version did you use? ICS_Defy_softunlock_v1.3?
[Defy General] Searcher3:
I applied this fix to my Defy earlier on in the year. It did indeed unlock my Defy but when I take out my battery, put another in and then switch back on it sometimes (often) comes up with 'No Service' and it needs a reboot or two to get my network connected. Is this normal? Sorry if it has been answered before but there are a lot of posts to go through. Though the softmod is great I am considering gettiing a proper unlock done as I do change the battery quite frequently and hope that true unlock would solve this. If there is a solution with the soft unlock then great!
[Defy General] labsin:
You can enable/disable flight mode instead of rebooting. Don't know if others have it.

Verstuurd van mijn MB525 met Tapatalk
[Defy General] crakeron:
I doubt it has to do with the softunlock =). It must be some startup script not acting correctly when new battery data needs to be loaded
[Defy General] Searcher3:
It looks like you are correct. I managed to borrow a sim card which corresponds to the lock on the phone and it did the same. MMmm. Now to try to fix the startup script. Thanks for saving me from buying an unlock code!
[Defy General] crakeron:
Send a PM to your rom developper, tell him that when you swap baterries, the phone doesn't connect to network and needs a few reboots before succeeding. Suggest it may have to do with a startup script

CM10

I have tested in CM10. 08-08 by quarx2k on a MB526, I need to flash first baseband , and after the soft unlock, and the result has been really good, but I can't do calls.

I notice that in the phone information the baseband hasn't changed, It continues with EPU 00.60.03., otherwise, I could recive calls and sms, but when I can't call, when I try it, the call stops suddently. I migrate fron vodafone to pepephone. I have tryed in a nokia xpress music sim unlocked, with exactly the same problem. Anybody has a similar problem?
[Defy General] crakeron:
Have another go, then wipe cache + dalvik maybe. The user below you didn't have a bootloop so you must have got something wrong.

The baseband version info doesn't change, it's normal don't worry ;)

Umm i've read users saying that they have calling and network problems on the 08/08 build, it might be due to that. It may also be my zip, we can't be sure yet. Notify quarx about the possibility of a network problem, see what he says
