[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbs11:
A method you could go about this is literally search the entire phone for the unlock code (if someone bought a working one). I do not see how that would work though because on the Captivate at least it is encoded in a HEX format. But a script should be writable to extract each file from its HEX format and then search for the code. Leave it for a few hours and you should find the file. The only thing that worries me is that the x10 is a different maker. If all AT&T phones had the unlock file stored locally and it was unique to att then the Galaxy S unlock would only work on the Captivate
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagentooboy:
That was sort of where I was going. A quick Linux script should be able to search every file for the code. That is why I need a full backup of the filesystem and the unlock code for one of these phones.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] champrock:
they are also claiming to do it instantly: gsmliberty.net/shop/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-unlocking-pm-1883.html . Is ther some way to know what files do these software edit?

i m looking for a xperia unlock bt they are all too costly options :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesstar:
I used cellunlocker , not cheap at $39.99 (£26), but one of the few options that had reports of working success without waiting for days when I searched by google.

Pretty costly deal, but they do not issue you a code, the automated software connects to your X10 through the USB cable and then runs some script ?

Anyway not an ideal situation as their instruction emails are poor and confusing as one email mentions a code, then the other send a garbled email link to download mediafire.com/?4gdpmmohrb7mk74(cell unlockers.zip) if that helps

(it wont work as it connected remotely and requires credits to be pre-paid).
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigger69:
could youupload your full backup of the filesystem and see if it helps dagentooboy at all please? maybe he can compare a locked and unlocked firmware thats the same version.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagentooboy:
Really the firmware of any phone and the unlock code that goes with it would be a great place to start. I can always set up an emulator to run some of the files... if I figure out where they need to be.

EDIT: Thanks for the .zip .... I will try to figure out what they are doing.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagentooboy:
also I am guessing that their program has to have adb compiled in. BTW that zip you sent me has a trojan in it... good thing I am only running windows in a VM :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesstar:
Yeah AVG was stopping it running originally properly, but after some googling it is a false positive it seems.

Sorry forgot to mention it.

TBH although mine did get unlocked, the process of using them is something I would not recommend to anyone, as mentioned already the email and instructions are hardly clear and the process is full of other little quirk.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karendar:
Hey,

I purchased an unlock from htccode, he uses a software to unlock the phone and it worked flawlessly. I sim locked the phone by typing in too many wrong unlock codes (Stupid ebay unlock codes). It cost me 40$ to do it, so it's not cheap though! Just google htccode x10. The site is a one man operation and alot of people complain about the service, but it did work for my X10.

I still have the software, but I'm pretty sure the username/password he supplied doesn't work anymore (It's a remote unlock solution). If anyone needs the file, just tell me.

Any progress on this? I've already tried buying two codes that didn't work through the cheaper unlocking websites. All the talk/rumors I heard about this phone being extremely easy to unlock seem to be unfounded.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keithod:
Maybe I can help...

My network unlock phones without much hassle at all (they unlocked my iPhone after a two minute phone call and I only had it about 3 months.)

My proposal:

1. I reset my phone to factory conditions then I make a back up of the file system.

2. I get the unlock code from my network and enter it into the phone.

3. Backup my file system once more

Then by comparing 1 and 3 would that help get any useful information??? Even by just having the unlock code, we'd know what we're looking for - or would we?

Anyway, I don't know if that'd work...I know on the old Sony Ericssons the unlock counter was stored in the GDFS and I made a GDFS dump before and after unlocking my K550i and I wasn't able to discover anything useful but maybe someone else might have some good ideas...

If anyone has ideas, then I'm willing to help out...

It seems that this project does not go anywhere. I would love to help, however my phone is still locked to AT&T, so there is not much I can do to help...:(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darth-s:
X10 = Snapdragon = Qualcomm

So I guess if direct online unlocking is really possible, it would be the same old story:

Set phone to diag mode, connect to USB, send command to read out secure block in secondary flash from phone, unlock online & send command to write unlocked secure block back to phone.

Same way e.g qmat / Psas do this offline. Only decrypt algo is needed, which of course, non of the online services will make public.

Best chances would be to ask a qualcomm pro here at xda since it is highly dangerous to work with secondary flash as this could render phone completely bricked. Since I got no X10 this is speculation how online direct unlocking works for this model.

Perhaps one needs to adjust secure flags first also.... hard to tell without having seen an x10.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lancez:
just sent 20 bucks to them, waiting on the code. hopefully it won't be long.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Direct unlock is possible, but it means it will store unlock server signatures in the phone, which makes it easy to block.

AFAIK only the simlock signatures are stored in the Trim Area, so the code cannot be read out.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lancez:
well, i just got refund from mobileincanada.com. got email from them saying they can not get code for my AT&T X10a :(

Yeah, mobileincanada refunded me too. The at&t version is almost impossible to unlock right now. I even called at&t and they won't give the code because they say it's an exclusive phone. I'm just waiting for the online unlock server to come back online. I've already paid $ 40
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogem_kk:
If you just dial *#06# as if you were making a call, it will give you the IMEI number. Is that what you gave them?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lancez:
debranding is the way to get rid of those crap apps from att.

unlocking is the way to set yourself free which means you can use any carrier in the world other than att only.

for info and firmware on debranding check this thread out, or here from post# 39 all the way to the last page of that thread. my very own experience :D

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duffy1807:
Hey, i think your only solution is to unlock it via cable + connect to a server. i think they are 45 USD from x10unlocking dot com you download their software for free but you are given a username + password after you pay which you login with.

It then connects to the server regardless if you have nework count or not & unlocks your phone..

I need a second opinion on this to be honest....

How much was your code ?

Hi guys!!

HTC Desire user here BUT I've a work colleague with the Galaxy Portal (Spica) which, for some reason, won't offer to mount the SD card to the PC when connected. It will chime and charge over USB so it knows it's been plugged in but no icon appears in the notification bar to allow you to mount the SD card as you'd expect to see with a stock Android phone.

It's on the 3 network in the UK running the Android version it came with (2.1)

Any suggestions??

I sometimes have this problem too.

I can fix it by going to:

Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging

Turning it on/off makes the notification appear and enables USB file transfers

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiejock:
The problem I have is that my HD2 used to last for about 48hrs, but after playing around with it as we do with roms! the battery life suddenly drained in hours.

Battery used to last about 48 hrs with a charge time of less than 2 hrs. It then started to last 8hrs with a 4hr charge time, now it lasts 6hrs.

This is with all apps turned off no data connection, only sending txt and quick calls during the day. 100% power at night and it will be dead by the morning!

I have removed all programs and gone back to UK t mobile 1.72 rom, with same results.

I phoned T mobile and they have been kind enough to send me another free battery to solve the problem but to no avail!!!!

I am now going to send it back to get repaired, however HSPL is installed and it is being a proper pain to remove. I have done searches and watched the utube clips, so please dont say use search, as I have done for 2 days now!!

My HD2 will not enter bootloader by the buttons, I HAVE to use the bootloader cab file and install it and do it that way. Next problem is when it asks me to press the power button to start update image, it does not respond to the power button or the down button to cancel! (have to pull battery of to restart)

I have tried lots of renamed ruu_signed files (uk t mobile and htc) on a FAT32 formatted SD card, same problem.

details are as follows

OS version 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)

Manila version 2.5.20121429.0

ROM version 1.72.110.4 (86525) WWE

ROM date 04/02/10

Radio version 2.07.51.22_2

Protocol version 15.32.50.07U

Really need to get rid of HSPL so it can get repaired!!

Any ideas to this strange problem? Anyone experienced this aswell?

Thanks in Advance

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
normally i would say enter bootloader manually then run hspl but you cant, so, let it fail, then exit hspl, leave teh phone in bootloader, and run it again. You can try over and over, different ports, whatever, no need to re start the phone each time, just leave it in bootloader and connect the usb cable.

As always, the following applies,

1 - right click hspl.exe and choose run as administrator

2 - dont use front mounted usb ports, or ports through hubs, DO use a port around back of the pc (i.e one connected to teh motherboard) EDIT - oh its a laptop, could be problematic, find a friend with a real computer.

Just cos a port works for active sync doesnt mean it will work for hspl, so keep trying ports.

If all else fails use a different pc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiejock:

One question though, now that the spl is 1.66 and the original was 1.42, can they tell that the phone has been tampered with?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
you said you upgraded teh rom to 1.72, , well if you hadnt had hspl installed it would have upgraded the spl to 1.66.0000, which is why i said go for that one.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gurluver:
I ran into the "Unable to scan network" and Wifi turning itself off the 2nd time today.

I remembered last time googling about this problem and found out 2 way

1. Do a factory setting, which I did the first time

2. Delete wpa_supplicant.conf and restart, which I tried this time, but apparently this doesn't work. Or maybe my memory served me wrong :(.

Anyway... now I don't have a wpa_supplicant.conf file in /system/etc/wifi/ anymore. I did a factory setting AND the hard reset (volume up + home + power) but the file is still missing. Now I can't turn on my wifi anymore.

I tried google for a default file to download but had no luck, if anyone can please upload the wpa_supplicant.conf file locate in (/system/etc/wifi/) that'd be greatly appreciated.

I don't really know much about these stuff so I wonder if it has to be the default factory setting file or not? But I think it may include some password in there so please blank it first...

I'm using Galaxy S, Android 2.1 and rooted.

Update:

I've search some more and found out some example and so I created the wpa_supplicant.conf file, content below:

#-------------

ctrl_interface=tiwlan0

update_config=1

network={

ssid="tenda"

key_mgmt=NONE

priority=11

}

#------------

and put it in /system/etc/wifi/, restarted... but it have the error "Unable to scan networks" again.

Please help :(

hi guys im new here and im new in all of this.

i just bought htc touch hd so i got some question.

1. my htc with wm6.1 some people told me that it will be good if i will upgrade the wm6.1 to 6.5 and my device will be faster'

so how can i do that? i need to buy the software or it is free?

if i'll upgrade the software all the settings and the software will be remove?

2. where can i find sites for free apps?

thanks a lot.
[Touch HD General] Zd0s:
read the wiki!!!

has all your answers!

it is free

need to hspl first (sticky in rom dev)

it will wipe everything but you can back up your data

it will wipe your system but you can revert back to your old rom easily

find free apps here!
[Touch HD General] M-Be:
o.k what is hspl? what is ROM?

do you recommended me to upgrade to wm6.5?

how i backup all the programs i dont have the installations. thers a guids how to do that all?

thank you!
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
hspl is a hard second program loader. you need to flash that to be able to change the operating system on your device.

roms are images of the operating system. they provide windows mobile in different versions (6.1 / 6.5 / 6.5.3 or even 6.5.5) and additionally come with different versions of manila (aka touchflo 3d or in newer versions also sense).

these are very basic things that you should read more about before attempting to flash your device, or you will break it. it is not like "press one button - done". flashing your device means tempering with your waranty and bypassing locks, set by htc.

you should definetely read threads like the "dummy's guide to hspl and uspl" in the rom development section of the blackstone forum.

in that section you will also find the differnet roms provided here, marked with [Release].

have a look at the different threads to find a rom that you like from the screenshots and read through the experiences, people post with it.

also, a lot of basic windows mobile information can be found on wikipedia's windows mobile and blackstone pages.

and of course, most of all, on xda-dev's own wiki here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:HTC_Blackstone.png

oh, and you shouldn't really back up programs, but re-install them on the new operating system, backing up too much stuff will cause your rom to run instable and slow. you should only use pimbackup, or MS myphone, or outlook, to backup personal data.

if you ever consider to go back to the exact rom you are using now, you could make a full backup with spb backup, but restoring that backup on another rom is highly un-recommended.
[Touch HD General] M-Be:
wwooww its complicated i think i will give up thanks anyway.
[Touch HD General] rogerbacon50:
Don't give up. That's defeatist talk. Yeah, it is intemidating at first but nothing worth doing is easy. Just read and you will understand. I read and read and read and when I set down to do it I was able to install a custom rom without incident. That was a year and a half ago. I'm probably going to install a new rom soon so I will read and read and read again to refresh my memory. Part of the complexity stemed from there being two different methods of flashing the phone, iirc. If you give up on trying to mod your phone you might as well jsut have bought an apple.
