I have the same problem with update_for_18.10_v4.zip.

I can boot if I rename bp_ptc.

I suspect the problem is "oneshot" is missing from here:

It is working with v3 apparently. Can someone check? Was a link in the Rom threat.
[Defy General] username7:
"update_for_18.10_v3.zip"

works with

"ICS_Defy_softunlock_v1.3(EPU_U_00.59.01).zip"
[Defy General] poomex16:
Same here. No bootloop on v3. I have compared v3 and v4 and only zImage file (kernel) is different between them.
[Defy General] crishardcore:
I run v4 without issues removing the script and then renaming bp_ptc with any name. I installed v4 after that and when it booted y rename bp_ptc and run it with the terminal emulator. It work ok
[Defy General] Wotryp:
Any news with v4 and unlock ?

OP= Original Post / Poster (me ^^)

What he's saying is this: if you change your baseband with the zip, it works, but you just cannot see it. It works but the system won't show anything (In the "Information about phone" section of the settings, "Baseband Version=…" won't change, even if it has really changed)

[Defy General] jasonnew:
Got prob here, I updated to CM10-20121109-NIGHTLY-mb526 and gapps-jb-20121011-signed . it worked perfectly without the softunlock.

but it stuck in the bootloop or starting the app...... after i flashed Baseband_change(EP93_U_00.59.01) and ICS_Defy_softunlock_v1.3(EPU_U_00.59.01) .

I did wipe the cache and reset but same !

any ideas ?

thanx
[Defy General] labsin:
You can use the attachment to undo. (or install the rom again)
[Defy General] jasonnew:
thanks for your kind quick reply but how can I unlock it with the softunlock?

which one should I use ? I have done the numerous flashing ROM with different ROM, like CM9 CM10 , different build as well, but none of them worked well with the ICS_Defy_softunlock_v1.3.

I really the last build CM10 which is great like my Nexus 7.

any help ?

---------- Post added at 02:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 AM ----------

I flashed the latest CM10 1109 build again and followed the gapps-jb-20121011-signed , it works perfect , very smooth and fast . then I put the bandchange patch and the 2NTBOOT_Defy_softunlock(EPU_U_00.59.01) . reboot is fine , then stuck in : Adroid is upgrading... starting apps.....

what's wrong ?

thanx
[Defy General] phillipcooke1:
To get it to boot i had to flash the http://quarx2k.ru/cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy(+)/update_for_02.11.zip. I know it is backward but maybe someone can find the difference.

I then installed the 1109 rom and disabled the cpu settings in the bootmenu. This sets it to ondemand and boots and is simunlocked after flashing the unlock zip. I then changed the govenor to interactive in the performance settings. Try and see. Nothing to lose.
[Defy General] jasonnew:
thanks very much for your suggestion which I am going to give a short and also thinking about to start from the fresh BL7 root then install the CM7.2.4 to see how it goes.

Anyway , it's just a fun to do it.
[Defy General] jasonnew:
Eventually It works now ! I flashed the two rooted ROM again, then just go to CM 10 1102 build, wipe dada reset again each time. then reboot the phone few times with the original SIM card, then install the softunlock patch. reboot the phone! put your another SIM card into it! here you are! it works like charm!

---------- Post added at 04:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 AM ----------

but the data connection dropping pro just like nightmare even with this CM10 1102 build. But I found a app which can fix it . By accident I installed the juice defender to for the battery , but there is no more data dropping since !

Anyway it worths a try!
[Defy General] crakeron:
Data drops have nothing to do with this patch, it's a coincidence
[Defy General] mato_d007:
The problem is not the governor, but the I/O sheduler. Some JB roms will not pass boot animation if you keep SIO sheduler activated after soft-unlock. To disable it, go to bootmenu->CPU settings->scroll down to iosched_sio and change the value from 1 to 0. This will disable SIO scheduler but you will keep interactive gobernor and the phone will boot normally. The CFQ sheduler will be enabled. Hope this helps.
[Defy General] roo1313:
Hi

Using a MB525 green lens with Quarx' CM10 from 17.11 i applied baseband switcher patch (no change in sysinfo) and ICS softunlock, then SIO scheduler setting you told, it seems to work but will i have to unlock each time i update rom..?

This unlocking method seems to work better with 02.11 version of the maybe it's better to downgrade until a better fix is published..? as it's not for my phone i can't tweak it whenever i want and has to work flawlessly...

Thanks in advance

Julien
[Defy General] mato_d007:
Well, i have a green lens too, so i tried to reproduce the problem on my phone. And it happens. This is what i did:

-Full wipe

-Flashed 17/11 CM10 build

-Flashed Gapps (without voice)

-Flashed ICS_Defy_softunlock_v1.3(EPU_U_00.59.01).zip directly (without baseband change)

-Reboot and then i had an endless boot loop on bootanimation as expected.

-Changed the value of iosched_sio to 0, then reboot. It booted normally and unlocked.

Then i registered my account, etc. and changed baseband to get signal. Rebooted again and everything normal.

After another reboot just to check, i got an endless bootloop again as you said. So yes, this is new... to be sure, i disabled CPU settings and it booted again normally. After more testing i can say that it boots ok with CPU settings enabled but with Boosted governor, and sio disabled, so this build have problems with sio AND with interactive governor too.

Long story short: Dont use this build (it can be used and unlocked, but you will lose interactive governor), wait for next one to see if this is fixed.
[Defy General] jasonnew:

This previously worked for me, but since flashing a new ROM it isn't working anymore, it asks for a SIM unlock code..

Process:

Flash ROM

Wipe Data/Dalvik

Reboot into ROM (T-Mobile SIM)

Recovery > Flash JB Unsimlock

Reboot into ROM (T-Mobile SIM)

Turn off, switch SIM

Reboot into GiffGaff - asks me for unlock code

Any ideas? :/

(P.S)

I've also tried changing iosched_sio to 0 and saving and rebooting

I followed the steps in this post before and it worked, but not now. :(

Edit: Solution found: Went form SBF to JB, Flashed baseband, ICS unlock (NOT the JB one above), rebooted with TM Sim, rebooted with Giffgaff sim

[Defy General] fattest:
I'm having trouble getting this to work, it still asks me for the unlock code after simunlock. The steps I followed are:

1. Wipe data/cache/dalvik

2. Install CM9 latest and gapps

3. Reboot to recovery and flash baseband, confirmed it flashed properly

4. Reboot to recovery and flash simunlock with original sim (Telus Mobility)

5. Reboot once and leave original sim in.

6. Power off, swap sims (T-Mobile)

7. Power on

Did I miss something?

Edit: Tried the zip file from here after installing JB Taki_jeden_rom and sim unlock worked perfectly. Can now use my T-Mobile sim.

Baseband Radio Request please

Hi guys,

i am trying to get baseband radio in flashable zip format like there is on the 1st post here..

there are different versions and i need to get them all to try if the RIL bug will stop if ever baseband radio version is changed..

PLiz pliz anyone help me out

It Will not stop I tried to change it but the ril bug still present.
[Defy General] ibtihaaz:

OH man .... i mean CM10/10.1 is so nice to use but with the bug appearing on the screen so many times a day makes it unusable :(

Thanks for letting me know

But i always flash the 59.00 radio in my defy ... RIL does not appear so much in this version and also i disable location access in google settings which i think make a lot of difference in 59.00 or 60.00 or 60.03 ... i dont know about the rest though..

anyways i know i am in the wrong post

Thanks again

In stock Rom the reboot its made without notice.

[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
BootLoader 7 i think

HI dude thanks for the interest ...

i have a BL7 or if you are talking about the black screen where we flash sbf .. there it says boot loader 9.10 ...

does it make a diff if i have a Secific bootloader version ... !!!!

What about you .. whats your BL version ?
[Defy General] cyrusct82:
I'm too on bl7

And I'm thinking that this is the problem.

Because the older defy doesn't have this problem only the newer defy+ make this problem 5 times/day.
[Defy General] ibtihaaz:
oh crap

:( .... very bad ... but sometimes it works alrite .. and i never make note of any rom that works very well .. and thats why probably i flashed my defy with a BL7 rom without reading just a piece of note .... bugger :(

i just moved to cm10.1 today and now i am waiting for the RIL to show its ugly face .... so far no RIL bug yet ..lets wait n see

anyways thanks a lot

Using Walter79 latest CM9.1 build, I'm unable to unsimlock. I've tried flashing the baseband and the ICS unlock zip, but it still asked for the unlock pin.

Has anyone else had this problem, or found a solution? Thanks

NB: I'm on BL7 and unsimlock works on CM10/11 using ICS zip

Update: using the code below in terminal it works; however I need to do it every time I boot. Any way around this?

*aeroplane mode on*

su
bp_ptc

*aeroplane mode off*

UPDATE

Changed boot in boot menu to 2nd init instead of 2nd boot, added the following lines to /system/etc/init.local.rc and it works :)

service bp-ptc /system/bin/bp_ptc
class main
user root
group root

hi,

I am a newbie. I have a t-mobile defy. I am using cyanogen mod 7.2 and I tried either ICS or GB unlock.zip. But I am asked for the sim unlock pin.

based band of my phone is the same as the first post.

1. I wipe my phone completely.

2. I flash GB unlock.zip

3. reboot with t-mobile sim

4. turn off and change sim

5. reboot phone again

Works but bricks my mobile:

These are the steps I'm following:

Device: MB525 (Mistakingly flashed a Defy+ SBF)

Base SBF: DFL_U3_4.5.2_51-50_SIGNED_USADEFYB25MSTLALA007.0R_STABLE45LADEFYMOVLA_P010_A015_M001_HWp3_WIG148136_Service1FF.sbf

Bootloader: 09.10 (BL6 AFAIK)

Flashes without problem, phone turns on and works. I get the simlock message (radio works)

I then root the Stock ROM with SuperOneClick and install 2nd-Init, reboot and go into recovery.

Then I tried with CM10 (several nightlies) and Mint 4.1, both with custom kernel (as I just wanted to go this way to recover the camera). I always do a factory reset and just re-install everything.

I install the zip with the bp_ptc and the init.rc files and with the stock baseband on mint, I still get prompted, but it's not solved. On CM10, it works, but after a while the phone reboots and gets in a loop. I had to re-flash the baseband and clear dalvik/cache, then the phone would start again, rebuild the cache and work for a day or two.

I have a dmesg and some bp_panic.bin files if useful.. :)

The phone starts,

Works, but how to implement in WIUI?

So Unlock works on my phone using *aeroplane, bp_ptc, aeroplane off*, but I've got a new phone now so I'm giving it to my dad, who isn't too tech savvy, so running terminal code at every boot pretty much isn't an option.

WORED!!!

Great! It worked at first tryon CM-11-20140201-NIGHTLY-mb526
[Defy General] pgreed:
How you do this because I do that:

- boot twrp -install defysafewipe

- install CM-11-20140201-NIGHTLY-mb526 - wipe cache/dalvik

- install 4.4.2 core gapps - wipe c/d

- boot

After welcome screen it said "Just a sec..." and .... Unfortunately Setup Wizard has stopped.

If after gapps I've installed Baseband change /Unsimlock 1.3 system do a endless bootloop and nothing can be done.
[Defy General] lfuentes:
I do not install anything but ROM and Gapps before Baseband_change and ICS_Defy_softunlock_v1.3 over CM11; not even wipe cache!
[Defy General] pgreed:
ok but after you've installed rom and gapps you reboot and can pass the welcome screen? because that is my problem.
[Defy General] lfuentes:
Yes, I´ve been using it since a few days. Maybe you must install an older ROM, boot (to make a working /data partition) and then upgrade to a newer ROM.
[Defy General] pgreed:
I've managed to get it work but just with the latest CM 10.2 (4.3). I can't manage to work with 4.4.2.

I can do just one time with AOSB-11-20140125-UNOFFICIAL-mb526 but after a reboot it came to the endless bootloop..

A nasty thing: after boot battery indicate just 4% even is fully charged!. I try to erase battery status to see what is the problem.

LE I think that if you wanna upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4.2 is necessary to make a full (safe) wipe in order to make it work and doing that erase the "achievements" made before so is not useful to unlock in JB and attempt to work in KK. Is necessary to make an adjustment to the baseband and unlock apk's.
[Defy General] lfuentes:
Question: If I flash a new rom, need I re-flans files? I mean, flasing another ROM the phone gets locked again?
[Defy General] pgreed:
because is a softunlock you need to re-flash the unsimlock after a new rom. From my experience for CM9 to CM10.2 you need to flash JUST unsimlock w/o baseband changer.

Problem is to CM11 where is necessary a big dose of good luck because, as I said before, the system don't wanna pass trough the first step of initialization w/o a valid simcard. Why? I dunno.
