[HTC Excalibur] r0p3:
I agree with you lukybandit.

I made a poll here and am very disappointed about the result. :(

Seems most of the people are not willing to pay or even help.

Maybe they think "I don't care - somebody will do it - don't bother about it"

They don't see the hard work and time to crawl through Assembler code of IPL/SPL and the risk to completely break the device when patching it the wrong way.

Also see here for background

As for your idea of a CID unlock:

I think the better way would be a patched IPL/SPL that doesn't check for CID/VendorID and .nbh signing because it has more value since you can also flash cooked/modified ROMs.

Like pof did it with his USPL here for the HTC Touch for example (I donated 30$ for his work btw.)

SIM unlock would be another hard way to crack the encryption.

Good luck lukybandit that people wake up and support you!!!
[HTC Excalibur] egosumpaul:
Thanks for the support r0p3, and yeah... maype pof would like to take the challenge, he did a great job with the Touch.
[HTC Excalibur] uccellino:
I'm very interested in the subject of how these bootloaders work and the whole CID lock process, but know almost nothing about it. I'm curious but don't want to brick my device too much, as I already partially bricked it by playing with the registry... took a long time to hard reset it. I'd like to help but don't really know where to begin other than to say that we need complete ROM dumps from a CID locked device and a CID unlocked device... the by comparing them, we can see whats changed.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
I'm just quickly replying to build interest and support for this cause - egosumpaul, mixx, r0p3 and me are willing to donate 20 $ for the cause so let's see more interest in this subject. c'mon now, almost everybody have their free SIM & CID unlockers, what about us? let's do something about it. i'm just going to have lunch and come back then post a detailed reply.

So Far, 4 Donors Ready - Let's See Some More - Cmon !
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Hello r0p3,

i really appreciate your efforts and the interest in the subject. I'm glad you're willing to donate and work for the cause. I've seen your threads and it's sad that people aren't really motivated to donate and help but let's not loose hope. We're 4 but hopefully soon we will have the support we need. For now, let's focus on what we can do to help. I've pm'ed you, check your pm. Thanks for the support once again.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
hey uccellino, i never thought about that one but a smart thought, I'm willing to dump my ROM - if anyone could guide me in the right way as to how to do it, I'll do it right away then hopefully we can get a member to dump his unlocked ROM. also, i know nothing about the subject too but that's how we learn, we always start somewhere so atleast we're at a better stage - the fact that we're willing to learn, put in the time and efforts - trust me, i don't want to brick my device either but i'll try my best and help. Thanks once again for the support.
[HTC Excalibur] Kichigai:
Willing To Donate Information

I have a T-Mobile Dash that I've had SIM/CID unlocked, and I'm willing to donate and information you need. I'm a total nub when it comes to WinMo Firmware hacking, and I really don't know much about modern Smartphone designs (got out of PDAs a while back, then they took a quantum leap on me, and it's a whole new vocabulary). I have next to no programming experience, and I'm running Mac OS X, but I'm willing to give you ROM dumps and the like, if you need them.

I'd donate money, but I'm having enough trouble paying for my schooling and books and trying to find a new job. Sorry :(
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
perfect, thanks a lot. i'll try and find someone who can ask you to go through the proper steps required to extract a rom. it's ok - i understand, i'm going through the same but lol i want windows mobile 6 on my phone and at the same time help the community by trying to get the proper support to develop a free sim & cid unlocker. thanks in advance. i can provide a locked rom, no problem - i'm just unaware as to how to extract a rom, i'm going out for a bit but when i come back, i'll do some research and find out how to extract roms.

thanks once again, the support is slow but it's getting there, alright :D
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
i'm very disappointed at the response, 401 views and only 12 replies? you've got to be kidding me, this is pathetic ! i'm lost for words, say even if i take 300 views instead of 401 views, that's almost 300 people that's seen this thread and only 12 replies, what kind of support or response is this? you guys want a free CID/SIM but don't want to donate or support, forget donation - even a little bit of help...say ok i'll cut it down to 100 people viewed my thread, out of those 100 people, say only 10 people have knowledge on this subject - still only 12 replies which the majority is me. this is sad, i honestly can't believe the fact that i've barely gotten support for the right cause. i'm still willing to help and do whatever it takes, can people please start supporting this thread so we can get out there and do the dirty work to develop a free unlocking solution, please. thanks in advance

p.s: you don't have to donate, it's not necessary but just some technical support or guidance could really help us. why am i wasting my time, why'd i waste my time and wrote that update with links if noone really is ready to help me and the other members that are willing to do this? honestly, thanks to those who have shown interest in this cause and for your generous offer for donation.
[HTC Excalibur] uccellino:
Actually the idea is from pof (thanks :) ), who wrote this:

For those interested:

So can someone who has unlocked their device please dump an image? :)
[HTC Excalibur] blakevon:
I will admit to being a viewer, keenly interested in the success of this tool, but honestly I am a follower. I had a Wizard and hacked the snot out of it, how? Using stuff off this wonderful forum. I didn't develop anything and I followed everything I read step by step because otherwise I have absolutely no idea what I am doing with PDA's, XDA's, Smartphones and all the other stuff. Unfortunitely I am also broke at the moment. That could change and if it does I would be willing to donate as this forum has always provided wonderful wonderful advise for me in more then one type of phone, operating system, etc. I never wrote anything in this thread before because I don't know what I have to offer. I don't have time, money, or knowledge. Guess you could say I am a bottom feeder. Not that I don't try. But I felt guilty about reading this thread without saying anything given your comments about people not supporting but are viewing. This could be a large part of the reason.

Anyway, there is my two cents. Sorry.
[HTC Excalibur] r0p3:
that's the thread I tried at that time to get a ROM dumped and flash it back.

But with that OS-image I was not able to extract the files out of it.

Got the files at that time only with imgfs-Tools and the "-nosplit" Option

Ok - here is the dump of IPL/SPL/GSM I had done with bkondisk - I think those are exactly what we need to explore and patch for a CID/SIM unlock

also have a look in the WIKI here
[HTC Excalibur] McHale:
So what's the beg for donations for? Most of us here work on this stuff and give back to the community because we gain the knowledge that others share with us. Pardon me if I come off all high and mighty but you're really in the wrong forums. XDA developers have been around a VERY long time and it survived by what services are provided for free. Only recently has it been infiltrated by nubes who aren't interested in development and just want a free ROM or a free unlock solution. If people feel like donating to help the cause, give it to XDA Developers to help defray the hosting costs. Especially the additional influx by people just downloading ROMS and utilities. And if you use any of the tools developed by others, shouldn't they receive a substantial part of your donations?

You also realize, that most of the people begging for the free unlocking service are too cheap to pay for what has existed for a long time. I paid my 40 bucks the day my Dash arrived and have been enjoying throwing ROMS on it since. So those of us that already paid, we are not interested. Those who didn't are looking for a FREE solution. Yours isn't free. You want 20 bucks for the dream of a solution. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to come up with it, personally. Prove me wrong, please. But do it for free.

[HTC Excalibur] egosumpaul:
Donations for...

I´m willing to donate to the guy who makes the effort (since time is a scarce good...), or to the forum, if the developer suggests that. Anyway, I still prefer not to pay to imeicheck -for example- but motivate the guys to free the app. and make it available to everybody.

No sin that, right? :)
[HTC Excalibur] McHale:
Not that it's a sin, but we see someone come along every once in a while "borrow" the tools that are made available (for free) on this site and use them to come up with a utility or a tool that they try to make money on.

Look at all the programs that take the reg patches we discover and put a front end on it and sell it for 30 bucks? It makes people no longer want to support the community because someone else makes money from it.

So in essence, it slowly destroys the community.

Now, he has a beautiful plan. If everyone on here pays him 20 bucks to help motivate him and he can't fulfill your dream, no harm no foul. Your 20 bucks didn't go for a guarentee.

Or, you could pay IMEI-CHECK 40 bucks and it will be onlocked... GUARENTEED.

I am not associated with IMEI-CHECK in any way. But if they offer a service that nobody else offers, they can charge whatever they want. 40 bucks isn't bad. Besides, they didn't beg anyone for money to figure things out and they didn't use anyone else's tools.

Its been a common problem ever since I have used the n5 and all other devices that use on screen nav bars sometimes the navigation buttons get stuck on the screen wile watching a video but is this a common problem with everyone or just me? I find it super annoying and I am wondering if it's a OS problem or just the YouTube App and is it something that can be fixed?

Hi,

I am trying to learn building my own rom based on Cyanogenmod 11 and I am thinking of forking CM11 Grouper's code so I can merge patches to the code. Is there a guide on how to fork the repositories and how to build the rom from the repos? I am trying to fork android_device_asus_grouper and android_kernel_asus_grouper repos but I have no idea how to build from there. Am I missing some other repos?

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] petercohen:
When the Note PRO 12.2 came out, some expected that the 8" version might be out later. It has been over a year but there is still no update on the 8" version. I need to use S-pen. How come Samsung does not make such product?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Gadgety:
It probably sold poorly. Too bad because I really like it and was also hoping for an upgraded version. There's a version of the Galaxy Tab A with S-pen functionality. It has a 4:3 screen ratio, with worse screen resolution than the Note 8.0 so it is not an upgrade: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_a_8_0-7121.php
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] petercohen:
Thanks. I think a 8-10" version of Note PRO 12.2 is good.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naprzod:
Hi people, im going to buy a phone and im between LG G4 and OPT, the thing is..

Does de OPT has overheating issues?, the snap 810 it should run at 2,0ghz but its underclocked at 1,5ghz right? Does it throttle too much? i mean, it affects the performance while doing heavy stuffs for 15+minutes? such as gaming or descompressing or something like that?

My dude was, if the 810 throttle too much maybe the 808 will perform better.

Please i need your help, HONEST opinions, not just to defend our device, i just want to know whats better for me because i cant change my phone very often so i dont want to regret of my decision.

Thanks in advance!
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikeman513:
So you're trying to choose between two nightmare phones? OnePlus customer service is practically nonexistent, and is known to have heating issues. The 808 in the G4 is even worse, it has a weak GPU mixed with two less cores. I mean the 808 overheats just using Chrome for God's sake. Why would you narrow your decision to these two? The 6P at least has great optimizations for the 810 and the aluminum is doing a great job to dissipate any heat that is present. The 5X which has the 808, can't escape it's fate. People are already talking about heating issues with that... Why not check out the Zen 2 or something else? If you can wait, skipping this years CPUs wouldn't be a bad call either, in fact a lot people have decided to do it. The 808 scores lower in many categories than 805 and 805 GPU is better, so you can always look for a year old phone with 805 for a great deal. The N6 is only $300 new for example and you'll get timely updates for at least another year. That's just one example though.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamor:
Mine OPT is running fine. I neither have any issues with heat on Stock, nor on CM12.1. Ok i am not playing on the Phone, but even when i use syncthing, which need a certain amount of CPU time i dont get over 42°C. it should be in a good range for the 810 CPU. Nevertheless i am going to underclock( or disable some cores) it in CM13, because i dont need that amount amount of power in my daily driver.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shigi1231:
I have the A2003 running Oxygen OS 2.1.1 . To be honest, OP2 is the coolest high end device i've ever used. I sold my Galaxy S6 for this. Even in intensive games, this phone heats up but to the point that it is not uncomfortable. The temperature is the same as with most flagship devices. There really is no reason to get the LG G4 over the OP2 unless you like how the camera of G4 works but then again, the camera of the OP2 is quite superb with the Oxygen OS 2.1.1 . However, when getting the OP2, i advise you to update it ASAP, and install a 3rd party home launcher such as google now or nova, as of late, Oxygen launcher is quite slow. Also, install AK kernel with the stock oxygen to get that near flawless experience with the software. :D
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naprzod:
Thanks for the answer, I have to change it now because I'm selling my nexus 5, the zen 2 Its a good option but it doesn't has a lot of modding, the one plus two will have a lot. Anyway Im still thinking but I will probably buy the opt

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexeiz:
According to all benchmarks OnePlus 2 performs great just as 810 should. As far as overheating is concerned, I didn't notice anything like that on my OnePlus 2. There is a game I play sometime that causes quite significant overheating on Moto X 2014 (my previous phone), "Does not Commute". I play it on OnePlus 2 now and the phone actually heats much less even on maximum graphics quality setting.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austinnmathew:
One Plus Two is a good choice.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lukybandit:
Hello All,

I'm willing to dedicate the time and effort to develop applications and maybe create a Free CID Unlocker. I'm in 3rd Year I.T & Business Management, I've completed a course in Microsoft Visual Basic. I'm interested in learning more about Windows Mobile 5/6 to further develop applications based on people's needs. I don't want to promise anything but I'm willing to put in all efforts if someone can guide me in the right way. I'm interested in developing applications, yes i'm a newbie to applications development but not a newbie to smartphone/pocket pc phones. I've owned an I-Mate Jam and currently own the HTC s621/Dash/Excalibur. I'd love to develop applications and most of all find a way to CID Unlock the excalibur. If someone who has experience in this field can help me or guide me to the right guides to pursue applications development for Windows Mobile/Pocket Pc, I'd really appreciate it. 2 Members are ready to donate, they are r0p3 and egosumpaul. i don't mind co-working with a group of people to develop a free CID unlocker and maybe applications. Yes, i know nothing in terms of applications development but everyone at one point don't know anything as well. There's always a start somewhere and I want to start now as I'm also going to be specializing in Telecommunications & Networking.

I have all resources, programs-wise and all windows mobile 6 ROMS. My device is application unlocked with security prompt off. Incase I do need programming software, i can get that as well, so no worries in the department of software, just need the guidance to do this, people start with no knowledge and with a few helping hands, we all can get somewhere. I see many people ask for FREE CID/SIM unlocking solution for the HTC Excalibur.

OFFER: 20 $

TESTING: I'm ready to test

SUPPORT: 2 Members (Egosumpaul & r0p3 - hats off to their determination) as of now, one willing to pay 20 $ and another one willing to pay 40 $ i think. total - 20 + 20 + 40 = 80 $

who's with me? please don't back off, i'd love to see support through this, i have hope - i hope we can get somewhere, if IMEI can do it, so can we - they are people too, sure they might be professionals but at one point they were like us, i don't mean to talk highly of me or anyone nor am i putting them down - i just don't want to pay 38 $ for CID Unlocking, I want to make a FREE CID Unlocking Solution for everyone. guide me in the right track and i'll try my best to do it. if someone's willing to make it and already are experienced, then please do so

Thanks in advance for everyone's support !

Wow, this happened to me today, and I was just thinking this was a one time bug. I was using a 3rd party adapter. Same cable was okay with another adapter. Seems I'm not alone. Using Oxygen Os 2.1.1

Since Frank has suffered from different cables and me from different adapters I guess this may be from an issue of wattage.
