Re: Any progress?

Pay the 20 pounds to imei-check and send us an USB dump of what the program does to unlock the phone.

If you are unable to run the imei-check unlocker while captureing USB traffic try using a virtual machine soft like vmware, and run the unlocker from a virtual machine OS while sniffing the USB port from the real OS.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fun_key:
I investigated some ways to dump the USB interface. Sadly I am not able to test at the moment; I setuped the latest rom available and the the imei crack isn't compatible with it (Communication error #1) and I cannot downgrade the rom for further testing.

Did you tried to play with user rights in order to achieve the dump? One solution would be to launch the crack with simple user right and the USB mon or the debuger with admin rights, the crack should normaly not be able to "see" the debugger/usbmon. I did some testing, but as I always get the communication error. I cannot tell if only phone related or if it may come from the crack security.

One interesting point; with my setup I was able to get this printed on my phone:

"SIM-UNLOCK

Initializing..." and the progress bar goes much further than when I just start the usbmon+crack with the same user

Feel free to try, I cannot help anymore with my phone; but I am pretty sure that my solution may work! Feel free to ask for more details

This can be downe with 'set' and 'shmsg' bootloader commands, not very useful if you cannot dump the full unlocking process on USB port :(

There is several other software for monitoring USB ports, if someone wants to try:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbsnoop/

http://www.wingmanteam.com/usbsnoopy/

http://www.aggsoft.com/usb-port-monitor.htm

I know; but this show that the unlock processing is starting. I am pretty sure that with my solution it is possible to dump the entire unlocking process.... But, as I said, I cannot achieve it because of the radio version of my phone

Why can't u downgrade? Tell me which device, which rom, which CID and bootloader version you have and probably I can help you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fun_key:
I got an orange CID with the 1.31 cingular ROM. As there are no orange rom available I just cannot return to 1.04 bootloader and flash whatever i want :roll:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
**** happens... hope that orange releases a rom soon.

I've been investigating on the issue (I got two Hermes, one original HTC TyTN and one preproduction version SuperCID and seclevel=0, both unlocked). If my guesses are correct the SIMLock data and the CID are stored on a encrypted block at #BDK1 as in previous HTC devices, the encryption method is known but the keylist is unknown on the Hermes, and I don't know where and how to get the rigtht keylist (anyone with experience in writting unlockers for other devices would probably help on that).

Theoretically if you would know how to send AT commands using the bootloader on the Hermes (anyone?) you can connect to the bootloader and put a "Locked" sim (which normally you can't use) on your device and try to register to network using AT commands. If registration is successful (ie, you can call the SIM number) that means that the simlock code is handled by the OS and only the radio would need to be patched (as on the Universal unlocker) to bypass the seclevel check, so an unlocker tool would be easy to write for an experienced xda-developer, but as I am quite ignorant on these issues correct me if I am wrong :)

buzz is looking at it, but AFAIK there's not too much progress yet :(

Network versus SIM lock

I have Dutch TyTn model Hermes200 from Orange, equipped with dual SIM device.

I have installed there - two SIMs from two different providers - Orange, and KPN.

I can switch between SIMs and make calls, no problem. I can also use each SIM separately - and also no problems. But I cannot change the network...

It can be only Orange...

I understand that SIM lock for now cannot be removed (for free) from TyTn, but what about Network Lock?

I'm intending to buy a TyTn from Orange tomorrow (or very soon) so I'll shortly be unlocking it to use my T-mobile SIM. I intend to use imei-check.co.uk to do this and I am willing to try sniffing the USB port.

However - I guess I'll only get one shot at this, so...

Can someone suggest which USB sniffer hasn't been tried yet?

If it's going to refuse to play on the basis that a sniffer is found using the USB port, will it complain before it unlocks the phone?

What I'm trying to establish is if I can try several sniffers in sequence without unlocking the phone 'prematurely' and blowing the opportunity to get a dump.

"Forewarned is forearmed", as they say!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
Yes, you're right with your guess :)

On comment #43 there's a list of programs, most of them have a trial or free version available that should be ok. I only tried HHDsoft USB monitor without success.

Yes, the imei-check software will give you a "communication error" when USB monitor is running: http://xdaforums.com/files/unlock1.jpg

Ideas on comments #41 and #42 should be the 'way to go' if imei-check's unlocker detects all the USB sniffers.

keep us informed of your progress and feel free to ask if you need any help :-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
Looking at \windows\SimLock.exe file I see it is the same file as in HTC Universal. Before the Universal unlocker was released by buzz there was an attempt to bruteforce the unlocking code and 3ppc developed a bruteforcer for all lock types, which you can find here, it should work on the Hermes too (at your own risk!), but the bruteforce attack takes a lot of time:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=945962&postcount=565

NOTE: This has nothing to do with buzz's htc universal unlocker, do not use the universal unlocker on the hermes because it will install a patched radio which will make your device unusable!

I've got my (locked) SPV M3100 now and I'm trying to find the right USB sniffing solution (that I don't have to pay for. So far they've been crippled so you can't save logs, etc).

I'll report back soon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Izzard-UK:
Not having too much luck so far. Tried with two of the suggested USB sniffers and these are the results:

1) Test: Sniffer running, starting IMEI-check's unlock app:

Result: Communications error (i.e. it detects something sniffing).

1) Test: Starting IMEI-check's unlock app, letting it find the phone. Then, at the point where it asks for the IMEI-specific unlock file, starting the sniffer:

a) Result: Nothing gets logged by sniffer.

b) IMEI-check's unlock app crashes (scaring the hell out of me).

I'll try another sniffer.

I've tried using Virtual PC but the support for USB devices is limited (as it says) and it doesn't show up in the virtual PC's Device Manager. (And the unlock app running on the Virtual PC can't find the phone).

Running out of ideas soon. There was a mention of getting a dump off the phone before and after I unlock it. If someone can tell me how before I give up and just unlock the thing, that's cool. But I do want to start using my phone soon (i.e. on T-mobile... the Orange SIM that came with the M3100 is now in my T-mobile MDA Vario, which I have given to my wife .. ..OBVIOUSLY!) ;)

Here is a little how-to explaining how to dump what is going on the USB port with USBMON:

What you need befor you start:

USBMON (I used the trial): http://www.hhdsoftware.com/Products/...b-monitor.html

A win 2k/XP computer with admin rights

How to fool the IMEI-CRACK tool:

-Login with the administrator and setup USBMON

-Create with the administrator a user (named wathever you like) with only "user" or "powered user" rights

-Log in with the user you just created (you may have to resetup Active sync with this user; I don't know why but it seems that active sync doesnt setup for all user)

-Right click on the USBMON icon and select "run as"; input the administrator credential and configure the software ready for the capture

-Launch the crack and follow the instruction

And voila ! The dump should be achieved by now

It's the app that asks you for the unlock code when you put a locked sim.

I don't know as haven't tried, the unlocking code is a number between 00000000 and 99999999, so there are A LOT of possible combinations... if you are lucky and get it at the 1st try then it's fast, otherwise it can be veeery slow. Watch the full unlocking thread for more details:

If you're willing, use odin to restore back to stock. Odin will get rid of root and put your phone back to 100% factory state. Keep in mind your personal data will be lost.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt3:
Unless you have reason to root, you probably shouldn't. However, unlocking the bootloader (which is required to root) will wipe your device, so if you even THINK you may root someday, unlocking the bootloader is not a bad idea early on.

My recommendation: Unlock the device, but do not root until you have reason to root (such as installing an app that requires it).

Having said all that, most backup apps (well, good ones anyway) require root, so that alone may be the reason you need to root. Don't take my recommendation as a sign you shouldn't root. I simply mean that rooting for root's sake is pointless. Only root when you're actually going to do something with it (like make a backup).
