Excalibur Sim unlock

[jockyw2001]

The idea is to unlock your Excalibur by entering a sim unlock code when a 'wrong' sim card is in the phone.

I can prolly find that unlock code. If one of you is interested to test this method please drop me a PM. You will need to make a bkondisk sd dump and also read out a few bytes from memory with pmemdump. If you don't know these proggies then don't bother PM me!

Only the first will be served :D

PS: if it works I will release a program to do it yourself some time sooner or later

EDIT:
I won't develop a program to find the codes. There are a couple of reasons: there are people who will use my sw to rip-off users on e.g. ebay; I have too little time to do the development; HTC wouldn't like the idea of me publishing a program using their intellectual property.

To find unlockcodes, I'm running firmware code in an ARM simulator. It takes about an hour to find the code and it's quite a laborous and delicate task to set it all up.

So I'm currently unlocking excalibur, vox and oxygen phones on a case-by-case basis. Contact me by PM and I will make you a reasonable offer.

You will have to send me 2 files which allow me to find your unique unlockcode. See description below.

Make sure your phone is application unlocked before carrying out these steps. In this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1069629&postcount=1) you find a simple description and program to do that.

1. run:
pmemdump 0xB002709C 16 > docid.txt
This creates a text file docid.txt. The first two bytes are usually 0xEC 0x00. The tool pmemdump is part of the itsutil toolset by itsme, download here (http://nah6.com/~itsme/itsutilsbin-20070705.zip)

2. do a bkondisk (http://nah6.com/~itsme/bkondisk.zip) dump (for further details see here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285003)):
first copy bkondisk.exe to \windows on your device, then:
prun bkondisk -v0 -p2
This creates a 4MB file bk_02_0005.img in \ on your device. The tool prun is also part of the itsutil toolset by itsme.

Zip both files (docid.txt and bk_02_0005.img) and email them to me. Contact me by PM first to get my email address

Goodluck to you jock! Now who's the lucky tester?

[tramuyo]

Im with you bro, where I sign for it??

[jockyw2001]

tramuyo, u got mail

[arc]

Not to send the files who do unlock with imei-check (this uselessly ).
Send file only who uses locked telephone.

[tramuyo]

this is obvious, my friend :)

pd. jockyw2001: i've been having problems with my pc, but dont worry.. u'll get files asap

[jockyw2001]

It seems there is little enthousiasm for this experiment so we change the procedure. Don't PM me, but follow the steps below instead.

1. run:
pmemdump 0xB002709C 16
Copy and paste the output in a text file. The first two bytes are usually 0xEC 0x00. Download here (http://nah6.com/~itsme/itsutilsbin-20070705.zip)

2. do a bkondisk dump (for download link and some details see here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1416739&postcount=2) under update4):
first copy bkondisk.exe to \windows on your device, then:
prun bkondisk -v0 -p2
it creates a 4MB file bk_02_0005.img in \ on your device

Zip and post the output of both steps in this thread. I will then send a simunlock code to the first user who posts valid files.

files you requested jocky
I have a T-Mobile Dash never unlocked (asides from the uspl) and I have Cingular/AT&T sim card to try unlock code.

[hollerbee]

Locked to Tmobile.

[travisc]

oooo... moment of truth here. :)

[mar11974]

try 71366941

Worked for me! Great job. Now maybe a permanent super cid?

[redman5266]

mr. jockey someone is selling your method on ebay that doesn't work here is the link to it

http://rapidshare.com/files/63518043..._v2_Softwa.rar

this is being sold on ebay for 12.50



can't wait to unlock my t-mobile dash with your perfected app anxiously awaiting it

[w4rchild]

Me 2 :) , please advise whenever your need any extra information.

[jockyw2001]

I don't need any more testers. Either I code a program or I don't.

[Technology]

I don't need any more testers. Either I code a program or I don't. jockyw2001 you need a good lawyer........!(lol) Somebody is trying to rip you off man!

[tramuyo]

well mr jockyw2001.. is not necessary to being mad :)

code a program :)

[Malibu]

if you do release it I'll need a guide on how to get the information you needed to unlock Mar's Dash

is there already a guide to get the data you need?

[travisc]

I'm sure he could code a program that retrieves that information without having to do it seperately.

[jockyw2001]

I'm sure he could code a program that retrieves that information without having to do it seperately.
No, it would be a PC console app which still needs the dump file and the 16-byte memory dump. The "guide" to obtain these is on the page 1 of this thread :D

[googcs]

So is there a SIM unlock for the Dash? I have been looking for it all over and have yet to find one. Cant believe that every phone has been unlockable except this one

[travisc]

I don't think that's quite the way to ask? It's noone's obligation to provide YOU with a free SIM unlock... Instead of being "angry" (as your emoticon suggests), why don't you attempt to make one yourself, or be patient for someone kind enough to release a free one?

Personally if I were jocky, I'd probably make a few bucks off of it... lol

[travisc]

What's so special about having a SIM unlocked phone anyways? May be easy for me to say since I really only have one service provider that has good signal in my area (which is the one i use)...

[tramuyo]

well bro, nobody puts a gun in your face and force u to stay in one operator... :)

[callmerani]

I was just curious to see if I could figure out how to retrieve those two files, but I came across a slight problem. One of the programs told me I was missing a file called "toolhelp.dll", i googled it and manage to find it and I was finally able output the two necessary files, but now my question is that is there more than one version of "toolhelp.dll". from my understanding, you can retrieve it from the smartphone sdk, but i know there are different versions of that. thanx

[clueless11]

well since you were planning on releasing this for free, and now seem undecided about when or if you are ever going to code it (did i understand you correctly?), can you reveal how this was done.

[nolageek]

> What's so special about having a SIM unlocked phone anyways?

Seems obvious enough. I bought my friend's dash and I'm under contract under Cingular. Duh.

[tramuyo]

hey bro, excalibur unlock was dumped out? we need it!! (at last me, i have 3 pieces, and i dont have money!! :()

[citats]

Rather then sounding like spoiled brats... show some concern... jockyw2001 has not posted on xda since Oct 26th and for a guy who posts several times a day, this is unusual... here's hoping all is well in jockyw2001's world!

[enibig]

You have 3 pieces and no money. Maybe you can sell them and earn some money
:D :D :D

[tramuyo]

no money to unlock those things bro..

[googcs]

well bro, nobody puts a gun in your face and force u to stay in one operator... :)

Cant go to any forums now days without finding a smartar$e.

It was a sad face not angry. This is a free community and thought I ask. I share a lot as well on other sites. So I am not asking for anything, as I share what I take.

[tramuyo]

go and cry to your mom, bro;)

He's posting over in the Kaiser forums now, so I think that's your answer....

[decoze]

Do you think if I can wait for one month longer, then should I wait or just pay for the code now?

[rsolomon]

no money to unlock those things bro..

Ship me one along with the IMEIs for the other two and I'll pay for the unlocks for all three. What a bargain for you!

Jocky, I'm going to do it right. You have PM

[hmotwr]

Why don't just cough a Wendy's meal value at e-bay and buy the code at e-bay? Is 10 USD a lot of money?

[hlmmgg]

Help me! .. From China, and how to contact,

Also, if you travel overseas for more than a day or two, you probably want to buy a local pre-paid sim card to use with your phone. Roaming is way too expensive - easily $2 - $3 per minute!

[aiken2009]

Just here to say that i am one more happy customer of Jocky! Really fast transaction.
