*** XDAII Unlocking - NEW IDEA ***

[Redstorm]

Hi all

I have only just bought my XDA II but think its the muts nuts so no flames foir this newbie PLEASE

I have read many MANY threads concerening the unlocking of this new device and I just came up with an idea.

Since O2 seem to be, at best, inconsistent and, at worst, ANAL about unlocking, can we exploit the fact that they have at least released the unlock codes to a few people. I have two ideas

1) It seems that the Unlock code is IMEI deppendant so, Can someone who has been given a code publish it along with their IMEI number
then using the famous Manipulator software change the imei number in an XDA II then insert different network sim and enter the unlock code, I know this seems awfully simple but often the best ideas are. I guess you could always change the IMEI back to its original state if there were concerns about network security. I dunno what do you guys think???

2) What about if everyone who has managed to get a code publishes it to this site along with their IMEI number and then I'm sure one of the XDA Developers code reverse engineer the unlock codes and see how its related to the IMEI. I assume you could then write a KeyGen prog like people do for software keys (I mean so I heard, allegedly, Honest)

Failing that would it not be possible to write some program that acts like the modem terminal prog and just keeps entering random (or sequential codes) till the device unlocks

As I said its all new (GREEK) to me so no flames please, I'm just trying to help.

PS Anybody know about the Bluetooth issue with the XDA 2 and how to solve it and dooes it really work?

Thanks

Unlocking XDA2 and the bluetooth problem are all in the forum. By the way, messing with the imei number on a phone here in the UK can get a person jailed for 5 years and or a huge fine.
