Hello!

This is my first post on this forum, so I would like to greet everyone first!!! :D

Now, here's something about unlocking Magician ... AFAIK impossible up to date (is someone working on this yet?). But I have discovered a possible way how to do it and I'm interested if it is possible:

I came across an information, that the unlock code consists of 8 digits. So, there are 100 million possible combinations of the code. And one way of unlocking qtek devices is connecting to the wireless modem and entering following command: AT%HTCLOCK=0,code,1

So, I guess it is possible to write an application, that would automatically enter codes from 00000000 to 99999999 via AT commands. And because this application would enter codes without user interface (=a box that pops up on the screen when a false SIM card is entered), I guess Magician won't lock itself after receiving several false codes. So, all we have to do is to wait for the right code to be entered!!!! :idea:

What do you think about it? It could be a job, that takes days, but the reward would be amazing - an unlocked fone without loosing the warranty!! :shock: 8)

greets!

i am not familiar on how the unlock code is entered.
but i do think the unlock code has a distinct tie to the imei. maybe a formula of some sort. if someone had about 10 imei codes and the corresponding unlock code, you could try to solve it with a matrix equasion.
but i have no idea at all of this, so it could be just bullcrap :)

btw let say we can input about (i am being very positive) 2 codes a sec. tha would mean you have to be running it continiously for 570 days, even if you could do 10 a sec it would take months, only when you have about 100 inputs a sec it could be reasonable. (if your code is 99999999)

570 days??? :shock: :shock: :shock:

and I hoped it could be done in one night! :roll: so I guess we still have to wait for clever ppl to develop a working unlock solution.....

btw. I found two codes with corresponding IMEI's on german forum. Maybe it helps someone...

IMEI:354819000715529 -- Unlock Code:19056320
IMEI:354819000715180 -- Unlock Code:84212434
