Damn it :(

Maybe our approach was wrong we should have gone by the title unlocking boot loaders - there was no need to bring android to the mix :(

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

I have one last idea but difficult to work out !
[General Questions and Answers] nikufellow:
Lol they do have locked boot loaders and infact one of the most securely locked ones in the industry . Custom firmwares have nothing to do with changing kernels and as of now there is no way to change kernels on symbian !

Why not get hold of a Nokia developer and get help from him.

Its not about being Nokia dev or not anybody with some know how on things like how to look for an exploit can help that's why this thread is here asking for help !

So so sad =( lol I'm searching if unlocking BB5 would be helpful..
[General Questions and Answers] gigsaw:
looked into .core file..and it seems that there are some instructions referring to...LINUX??? WTF?????!? @_@
[General Questions and Answers] quailstorm:
I don't know why was I thought that thing. Yes, they are locked I see. (I think I read an old Nokia article in the past, they wrote down once they also don't like locked bootloaders because of harder development)

So the question now is, would it be dangerous to unlock a S^3 bootloader? For an Xperia X8, at can be easily done at home, or with a box if phone made after 11w28. But it's not free with a box. Lumia 710 can also be unlocked, but it's also a widely used qualcomm chipset. Nokia uses advanced and the most powerful ARMv6 ones, with really good security.

But what abou writing something like HARET? It works on omnia 2 with locked bootloader. I've use it. Just boot a linux kernel from symbian, empty the RAM and go on. But I don't think that android is a good choice. This is the worst optimized worst idea for an operating system. It needs 4 to 10 times much hardware than a native c++ based OS! So we have to remake symbian or maemo, no other choice. Android is a waste of time and power, others are dead, killed or obsolete. iOS is closed. What's more?
[General Questions and Answers] nikufellow:
First lets try and get things moving if we manage to unlock boot loaders then there are plenty of options if not android like meego,maemo,firefox os, open web os !

How about a mass petition to Nokia to unlock boot loaders either way they aren't gonna provide any major updates or release new symbian as their focus is now completely on windows phone - so its not un ethical to request sources or whatever is needed for us to get the job done !
[General Questions and Answers] pixelshuck:
Nobody at nokia CEO will ever look at yours petition, the only way to get them to know is message from serious corporate partner.

Nokia is INTERESTED in death of platform, because the less symbian devices available the more WP devices can be sold...
[General Questions and Answers] gigsaw:
Even if it's sad I think you are right. But nikufellow, don't give up!!! On Symbian-developers the right people looked at the discussion I have posted. I don't wanna give you hopes, because at the moment a miracle is a more concrete way..but people like Il.socio, allstar12345 and other important members of the Symbian scene are at least considering the problem.

The main problem is that nobody knows how to unlock nokia bootloader and how a .core fare is exately generated. It seems that it's nokia's fault because it doesn't relase the right documentation about that. and there's a lack of information..The reverse-engineering way is not applayable..

hope for the best, bro =D

I just got a replacement from ATT. It comes with stocked ICS. I used Jim's root method found here. Ran the root.bat and got the success message. I got the access to the system folder. I can copy, paste and delete files in the system folder. However, when I tried to freeze or recover apps with Rom Toolbox, it failed. Tried other freeze apps like App Quarantine, Android root toolkit, all failed. Any help would be appreciated.

i use titanium backup..no freezing problems for me;)

Thanks for your input! I just tried the titanium backup, and it solved the problem. I started the TB and got the message "your rom is rooted but the "su" binary has non-optimal access rights, which may cause problems. Titanium backup pro can fix this problem automatically in many cases, do you want to proceed?" I selected yes. And problem solved. :laugh:

This is yet another example of why ROM Toolbox is crap, and doesn't play nicely with this device. I tell people all the time to stay away from it: don't install it, don't use it to change anything, just leave it right there in Google Play Store. I've seen people soft brick using ROM Toolbox, it's just not worth the hassle guys...

There was a post on another board with this pic from Walmart. I wonder if it will be more effective buying in store or using the Play store, considering the issues with the Nexus 7 launch.
[Nexus 10 General] Varekai:
I'd rather buy from a store. A) I'll have it quicker and price should be the same, unless shipping is for some reason free, tax will probably be the same as shipping and B) If something is wrong with it, it's easier to just run it back to walmart.

I guess that, but how TO make IT in factory condition?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
factory condition I mean when device is new. Just after you buy it. With no backup of when you had imei, there is no way on getting it back, to my knowledge, without using expensive equiptment and skills like cvxcvx. Samsung itself should be able to do it to.

If you dont mess with device and only do ota/kies updates you dont need it. However when starting to do warrantee breaking stuff like custom roms, even pcodin official ones you need it.

how to: at own risk:

root device, use app like ktool, or alternatives.

Efs backup, is one of the important parts most forgotten as no backup tool does is with other backups.

You can get Samsung, at own risk to fix it too, lol

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
When you have changed emei youre pretty much screwed. However, a different phone can behave differently. even if same brand model etc. logic is dependant on many variables.

Never seen case of rom corruption changing imei but not efs, with flashback to different rom efs working again. Would be cool if that works for some :)

No1 you can test that ofc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gedster314:
If you want to spend money, the z3x box and software can change the imei to what ever you want but the box is $120. I know the box works because my N7000 is using a dumb phone imei. I'm sure there is a way to do it without the box. In using the box, part of it requires flashing GB 2.3.5, so maybe the commands in this video will work worth the 2.3.5, I know they don't on ics.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
10 bucks or 120, pick you poison. I wouldn't recommend the 120, cause its pretty difficult to set up, and you only need it once,if your smart lol. :)

Id recommend to go to Samsung, or cvxcvx as he has good rep on xda and elsewhere.

You might also want to recover pcode if your efs is bust lol. For updatability purposes.

Anyway be careful as it may be illegal to change imei, even if back to original.

If method in first movie works for n7000 its a good find. I wouldn't count on it thought.

:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gedster314:
No I agree, $120 is pricey, I did it out of expedience and at time I could not find much info about doing it. SoFar I have used it on 4 phones so it was not $120 out the window. When using it, it seems like they are using adb.

As for the OP, he probably just copied his efs folder and then tried to replace it when the orig got fubared. Before I did my mod, I read in a couple of places that just copying the efs folder is hit and miss. I use EFSPro to back up my EFS. I have three different imei's backed up, so if one gets banned, I just connect to a computer and flash another one, 30 seconds and I'm good to go.

Please guys, if your a flashaholic or your going to play with your efs, back it up with a proven app or learn to use DD and backup with it. Link to EFSpro:

On my website is written, what is needed to repair imei.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gedster314:
I believe he is using a box to repair it since he requires using usb pass thru even though he asks you to install the software. The box acts as an authentication dongle for the software. Don't give the guy a hard time, he did not write the software. Since the boxes are usually in the $100 range when bought from China, he is doing you service by charging you only 10 Euros. After all he ate the initial cost. Not to mention, it's a pain in the @ss keeping up with the different processes. Even with the a box on my N7000, I had roll back to Android 2.6 and use an older version of the box software. The I9300 requires a modem patch even before you can try to manipulate the imei. Every phone is different and some phones require different boxes. There is no one solution for every phone. He is earning his 10 Euros because it will take you at least a couple of hours to wade through the crappy documentation some of these companies have just to figure out how you are supposed to use the box and software.

A thread on that is to difficult, like gedster314 said it takes a lot to get those things working. Plus its ill., in some countries. Even thought its changing emei back to what it was... Thats why I stay clear. Well worth the ten bucks. cvxcvx has gotten a lot of great reviews when you look into it. I wouldn't vouch for someone like him if i didn't know anyone who had imei fixed by him.

He is the doctor operating miles away on repairing the device. Pretty cool huh if you think of it that way :)
