I've been around the forums for about a year and if there is one person here who strikes me as the embodiment of selflessness with a large dose of helpfulness, it's pof. This guy is always there ready to help people and with a smile. Even Paid service doesn't give you that these days. I don't know anything about this whole business with IMEI-Check but they could have handled it more professionaly. Instead they are pissing themselves like a bunch of 5 year olds.

1) IMEI-Check - you guys can't do squat. You are messing with proprietary HTC code and are offering a way to bypass a system put in place based on a contract between a service provider and an end user. That in itself is illegal. If you goto court (which obviously you can't) the judge will piss all over you and send you packing like the 2 support teams you sent away.

2) You guys need to grow up and stop throwing public tantrums. If anything you are attracting more attention and throwing the spotlight on XDA. What do you think that is going to do for your future business? Even the people who don't know the community will end up here because of your silly ranting. In short, you are killing your own business.

3) At the risk of sounding mildy mature, the least you can do is have a civilised discussion with "The Gang" and work things out. Even though you are being such a git, pof has very gently put his ego and anger aside and tried to still work things with you. Frankly, if it was me you were attacking, I would have worded off worse than Oli and would have prolly taken your ****ty site down.

The Masses just called...

...they want to know when and how the Kaiser is getting SIM unlocked.
[General Topics] Mr.Clark:
Apparently not in the UK.

Just thought I'd mention that...
[General Topics] Swampie:
The act of unlocking a handset is entirely legal in the UK. What is not legal is modifying and distributing 3rd party's copyrighted software (eg. HTC) to provide that function.

In effect, the end result is legal, but the method used may not be.
[General Topics] rsolomon:
Well, *ALL* the patched bootloaders are doing exactly that - with HTC's Copyrighted code. In the now-vanished thread about IMEI's "copyrighted" 1.04 bootloader I mentioned this: I'm not a lawyer (and I don't play one on TV) but I don't think you can change 2-3 bytes of a 64KB copyrighted binary and claim it's NOT a copyright violation.... Frankly we should all be thankful that HTC is not pursuing anyone meaningfully over this!

As pof said, anyone following the development of his free unlocker (and *I* was) could see that he learned from IMEI-check *where* to patch the radio ROM. Again, I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think you can copyright an address - kinda like me trying to copyright knowing where some famous person lives....doesn't make sense.

FWIW, pof's communications (what I could see) have always been eminently reasonable - he's a class act! Prior to this I would have considered paying IMEI-check for unlocking other devices, and in fact did recommend them to friends - based on knowing that they did a good job with the Hermes patch. Now that I have seen the ugly side of their business model, they've gotten MY last referral.

Just my $0.02,

Richard

Gee imei-check (or whatever you denigrate to call yourselves), thanks for letting us know that there is a free solution to unlocking phones...

Wow, you guys suck at business....

@ Florin_b (imei check)

I need to express what I think about your so called "copyright enfringement", and stealing remarks:

-What do you call it if you have proprietary material like lets say an HTC SPL, in your unlocker, for which you charge people money for?

Isn't THAT the true copyright enfringement?

If you are talking about giving credit to whom credit belongs:

Please don't forget to give credit to itsme for his open source tools (available since august 2003!).

So stuff like psetmem exist a long time (as open source!), enlighten us; wasn't that code needed to poke memory my dear Florin??

So Florin, be happy with the loot you gained so far, polish your hook, feed your parrot, but don't go shouting "HarHar, ya chopped me gold matey".

I could rant on and on, but I have made my point.

@ equinoxe... lol... that was funny... captain sparrow
[General Topics] saa044:
Ok I havent been a memeber of xda for long, and mostly all I know is thanks to Equinoxe and PK. I just want to say this one thing though, IMEI-CHECK I hope your site goes down and quickly.
[General Topics] hdubli:
I had been reading,I will just say that everybody has a right to b smarter than other, more innovative than other.In short I want to say xda dev and members are smarter and no one should and can stop them..So instead of publishing the sh*t on the imei-check, they shd try and prove to b smarter.
[General Topics] Arbait:
i have unlocked my phones with the free xda-developers, frankly because +30 euro that IMEI-Check ask is way TO MUCH, imho.

I want to bow to all of you guys and to thank you for all the great and hard work.

For Florin Mandache: Las-o mai usor, frate, ca te faci de kko...
[General Topics] wywywywy:
Let's not pick on IMEI-Check's misunderstand of copyright for a second.

If I were IMEI-Check and I did genuinely invented a techique, I would well want to be credited (not that I would act childishly though).

But whether they've genuinely invented a technique, is debatable.

kaiser unlock

After all that I still don't know?

1. is there a freely downloable working unlock for kaiser?

if not, where, how and much should I pay to unlock a kaiser.
[General Topics] GLOC:
Ditto, I would like to know.
[General Topics] setooluk:
SPITE

firstly i have known florin for many years and i dont love him he has not done me any special favors but....

he is more intelligent then most of you guys

with regards to the copyright on his page its a bissness ethic to to that

all companys including microsoft do it all borrowed ideas if the pof guy and itsme were ready for it they can start there own bissness to unlock

phones you guys have no idea of florins history or what he can do

all i can see here is very frustrated kids and unambitious programmers

who are jelous and became greedy when they saw that someone has there brain under control pointed to makeing money while they sleep

if any of you had hwat it takes then you would be doing the same and actaully makeing something with your life instead of posting crap here

i really hope in future when u need your new xda or pda unlocked and florin could be the only one to do it from whatever solution wherever it came from

at least there is someone who u can pay who has understood what you cannot comprehend without murdering your phone

hahahaha

regards morons
[General Topics] LTxda:
People, here is a person who is ignorant and has no clue what's going on. And we all thought the forms were full of well educated people. Goes to show you there is "that element" all over the place.

FYI, some of us have businesses that make very well revenue but we contribute freely to the forum because we don't want to exploit the crap out of the people in the forum that don't have the skills to accomplish what the few here can. It's given freely and if people like the work then they voluntarily contribute...it's not a mandatory thing nor is it commercialized. I sell services that are necessary in my business...those services provided on this forum by a very smart few are only necessary to a small group of people...for the rest it's mostly for fun.

You seem to have a gross misunderstanding of the entire process and may not want to post again and sound so foolish. It's interesting how some people don't know their own limits and open their mouthes just to make the situation worse. LOL

Take care and maybe you will one day be able to contribute like some of the geniuses in the forum have. I'm sure you don't use anything released here right...you go support some commercial entity and pay for a service that's freely available. Yea, that's a smart way of doing thing. LOL ;-p
[General Topics] LTxda:
If you're still looking...yes, been released a while now....thanks to the good people of this forum that released it free of charge for the community and aren't trying to exploit you guys and force you to purchase it from them.
[General Topics] Olipro:
Great, a man who used to work for motorola and now bribes HTC employees to get hold of the tools necessary to sell an unlocking solution.

Of course, I should mention he has NO copyright to anything since of course, he's simply making unauthorised modifications to proprietary HTC IP, which he has no right to do without asking HTC, and certainly can't assert any copyright for it.

Also, I'd love to point out that unfortunately, Mr. Mandache seems to thrive off the breakthroughs on this site... as a friend pointed out when he released the first unlock solution for a certain device I won't mention, the first punter to buy it was in fact Florin Mandache, and shortly after, that particular device suddenly sprang up on his site as being available for unlock.

All's fair in love and war it seems, so get ****ed
[General Topics] sdemon:
Can I view this as an official response from Florin? Or are you perhaps not enlightened enough to see that the things Florin is offering on his site for money is also available here free of charge.

I really dislike being referred to as a moron. Especially from somone that doesn't know me or my background. So **** off, go away and stay away you are not needed nor wanted here.
[General Topics] setooluk:
strange it seems i have hit a nerve as suddenly everyones vocab has turned kindergarton style lol

with regards to your responses balls to them all pointleess bull****

and you have indeed prooved that you are morons as i dont need to swear in my answers meaning you are angry haha

also about me not being wanted here surely duh...

you know i have utmost respect for someone who can make money where others are twiddling there thumbs destroying the econamy by releasing hard earned company secrets you guys are the bad guys those tricks you releaseing for free in forum are the hard work of some htc developer who may get fired when his boss realizes his work has been cracked by a 5 year old adult ( in brain) whereas u can protect secret and profit and the boss would have no idea and guess what a fair war begins between cracker and author begins with no one loseing there jobs

regards losers
[General Topics] LTxda:
I like the way you spell and punctuate your writing. Please, keep writing and digging.

The only nerve you struck is that of disappointment. I thought this forum was based on more educated and informed users, then you crash that illusion by opening your mouth and saying nothing. You probably download all sorts of goodies from this forum, written by the people you try to insult. It's a shame...and I bet you'll be downloading more things from the forum of...how did you put it...."morons". What's funny is that you call the geniuses here kids. I wonder where that puts you since you don't have the mental capacity to crack the HTC software that these kids cracked? LOL....that of an infant maybe? Wow, when reality hits...it hits hard doesn't it?

All I can say is I actually feel sorry for you. The way you communicate is a direct representation of you and from the looks of it, I actually think you believe what you're saying. For that my friend, I truly am sorry for you. There are those in life that are aware and those that are just blind.

Oh, and if you would like to buy an unlocker for your phone, I may be able to arrange that. Based on what you've said, you might consider it a contribution to a failing economy and be able to pass along the story to your offspring...."setooluk, the one who saved the economy at a time that the world needed...just a little something".

Let me know and we can arrange for a PayPal transfer. :)
[General Topics] setooluk:
Well to be honest judgeing my words or the way i type is very shallow and simple minded as i am dislecsic but my meaning is there as you have no idea what or who i am or what i am capable of hehehe

i have been in the gsm cracking scene since dejan first released nokia solutions on net when zulea and dejan were still freinds

i have been reverse engineering gsm since then which is about 6 to 7 years my works are all over the internet some cracked some put there on purpose

i shall not say who i am but i just wanted to post this as florin does not deserve the disrespect he is getting here and you guys have really no idea about the term genious and luck they are 2 seperate things do i need educate you ?

please dont get me wrong i am not boasting if i were i would put just 1 name here and you would know but its not about that its just about respect if you have a problem with someone and your such a GENIOUS why do you need to disrespect someone behind there backs in a public forum ??? sounds a bit babyish

so in summary you and all who took part in this slander are MORONS and there is not much i can do about it

p.s i am not florin and he did not ask me to defend him at all

p.s 2 if you checked and done your history you wouldent look like such morons
[General Topics] moschino_luv:
imei-check.co.uk is excellent&great company! :)

[General Topics] LTxda:
Again, you have no idea what you're talking about and it's funny how you don't know him but you seem to be going out on a limb for him...not even knowing the facts. It's not being shallow, it's what is there...the ramblings of an idiot. Wow a dyslectic cracker? So does your work add or remove the ROM from the device? LOL

Whatever you dip. For the record, I never said I was a genius. There are others on the forum that do fit into that category.

You make me laugh...i can't continue to pick on you though. In all fairness you do have a disability so I'm stopping here. My apologies...never intended to pick on someone with a broken brain.
[General Topics] Olipro:
and eventually ltxda, it might even crawl back into its hole and carry on playing with DCT3 devices

[General Topics] setooluk:
at least i dont beg of others and keep money lol u have not even donated to the forum thats getting you fame and donations

or is the deal like this u keep releasing stuff and xda dev gets credits ? or is it you ? then what you get vip access to special area in xda dev forum do they have special genious cookies there u know the kind that tingle in your mouth

hahahahahaaha

MORON
[General Topics] rsolomon:
I can only conclude that imei-check is hurting financially and this sudden influx of newbies defending them is intended to somehow reverse that?

I struggle with the "logic" behind "Stealing and giving it away is bad, while stealing and charging for it is good". Dyslexia is not the same as idiocy - the poster clearly exhibits the latter, and few/no signs of the former.

Personally I find few things more repulsive than profitting from the theft of others' work, and the hypocrisy exhibited by imei-check has reached new heights when they claim copyright on works derived from copyrighted materials without license.

[General Topics] setooluk:
but it seems the opposite is happening here when the elite bunch of MORONS

who get there info from google post here and try a smear campaign on someone

they think oh no one will oppose us as were so l33t

BALLS to you guys my little toes are more elite then you

the more members who have many posts that post here just prooveing my point its a form of bullying

whats next you going to say imei-check is cheating people ?

JELOUSY DUDES IS NATURAL HUMAN EMOTION VERY COMMON IN MORONS

[General Topics] rsolomon:
Note the dates on the posts on this thread - you brought a dead thread back to life and try and call it a defense? Interesting.

Richard "Not afraid to post opinions with his own name"
[General Topics] setooluk:
look just make it clear a few things i will stop posting here just so that if this thread is looked at later it will be known that somone actually knew florin ;)

he is very cool guy f all h8ters

so i close at that

if anyone replys smartly i will repost untill the end of life i never give up a fight if it be pointed or pointless

[General Topics] o2xdaexec:
i havent been on here long,now what iam seeing here is out of order,its like being back at school.

cant you all stop having a go with each other and leave it there. ok people make money out of geting info when its free,or asking for it and also on the net,some people cant be bothered to use google for finding stuff,if people are gonna charge for it,people will buy it.

as for me if i see someone with a wm powered handset i will tell them about developers,its all about helping each other.not war on a forum.

what next are we gonna have the xda developers war room where its just a slanging match....
[General Topics] ClashOfThe:
@ dj or setooluk or whichever you prefer

Dislexia does not excuse name calling.

You can't call people bullies one minute and then call them morons the next.

To be perfectly honest i couldn't give a flying f*ck about someone profiting from their own work in fact i'd applaud it.

My concern is that a grown man chooses to publicy insult others when his income is threatened because they choose to offer a similar service to his for free.

You could spend all day arguing the toss over who copied what from who but the bottom line is only those who created the unlockers know the truth and the rest of us will have to make our own minds up based on how they conduct themselves.

I for one appreciate you wish to defend another but will have to oppose your florinism on what i conclude from the discussions available.

I currently have three htc devices in front of me and they are all sim/cid unlocked for free with the tools available here.

As an aside you can insult peoples willingness to donate and that is your choice but not all of us measure donation in monetary terms and i personally find it shallow. Olipro and Pof have donated their time and expertise to this forum not only publishing free tools but helping people solve problems.

Anyway it's all relative, time is money as they say.
[General Topics] LTxda:
LOL

I was waiting for someone to point out the obvious. Now you really "disarmed" his feeble attempts.

Considering what he was saying about people he doesn't know and commenting on a situation he has no clue about....i was going to keep egging him on until he stuck his foot so far up his own mouth that he ended up with a **** mustache. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[General Topics] ivanmmj:
This is one of those rare threads where I have to say something just because it's going to be recorded for the ages to come. :-p

Anyhow, now now, calm down everybody.

setooluk: 1. The people that were speaking swear on almost every post. They weren't trying to be rude to you, they even call their friends f'ers. You called everyone a moron on your FIRST post and then preceeded to say

after they replied to you.

2. Not once have you mentioned anything about the legal side of things. Not once did you say who legally has the rights to anything. All you have done is call people morons for not capitalizing on it.

3.

Those tricks are the work of the people who release them along with gathered knowledge from other places and tools released by others. No one at HTC created a HardSPL. Also, you're saying that it's ok to steal as long as you keep it a company secret and don't tell anyone?

ltxda: 1. Not nice to make fun of his Dyslexia, funny, but not nice. It's only funny because I would think coding would be a nightmare if you were dyslexic. But that's mean of me to even think.

2. Don't bother responding to him. Let him think he won. It's not worth the trouble.

IMEI-CHECK: If you TRULY are the patent holders, and the people in this site did use your patents, then ok. We're wrong. If you aren't the first one to create this or if the only thing that was taken from you was the memory address that was used, then there's not much you can do. No one truly stole anything from you that they couldn't have done themselves. If you actually used someone else's knowledge then shame on you.

Olipro and Pof: I don't know who's right and who's wrong, but I DO know that I want a RUU for my Tmobile Wing (Herald) that will do HardSPL, USPL (which strangely enough is actually a SSPL for the Herald...) and I want it to bypass the 50mb os.nb file size requirement when building a nbh file... Oh, and a way to flash a smaller extROM... Dumb Tfat16 requirement... I can taste that bigstorage just messing with my mind. :-p

(Hey, Pof AND Olipro will most likely read this, why WOULDN'T I ask here. lol)

Oh yea, and keep up the good work! hehe
