R800X Bootloader CRACKED!

antEris · Jan 28, 2012

#$*@! I don't comprehend, how you folks can't get it through your heads! The unlock method being used on sim locked and r800x phones is UNRELATED to any Verizon or Sony Ericsson policy on unlocked bootloaders on simlocked and/or contract phones. It is a Sony Ericsson tool for DEVELOPERS to unlock any SE phone for development purposes. Its not that Verizon, any other fat cat "overlord" corporation, or the individuals who happen to have the software and are offering to share the use of it are forcing you to pay for ANYTHING. The obvious stance on r800x bootloaders, whether its Verizon or SE making that decision, is that they are NOT authorized for an OEM unlock. You bought a subsidized phone!!! Subsidized!!!! Either #%$*ing deal with it, or skirt the system and drop a couple bucks (still less than those using the "free" method payed for their phones) to use a tool not intended for mass consumption to unshackle your phone!

You can unlock this phone on every provider but Verizon.
Verizon, what the ****? Why can't you let us have fun? They remove unlimited data, and make you pay $15 for every gig, and then $10 for every extra gig you go over.

Definitely! I got the Unlimited Plan not long before they got rid of it. My family is planning on leaving Verizon after my mother's 2 year contract goes out. That shouldn't be much longer either. Not sure if I want to stay on Android or just switch to the iPhone, the Verizon Xperia Play was SO limited, so iOS wouldn't bother me right now.

EDIT: One reason why the Verizon Play can't be unlocked is also because the Verizon Play model doesn't have a SIM card installed. Not even a slot if I'm correct.

The Verizon Play does have a sim card slot, although it does nothing. The Verizon Play can be unlocked. It used to be able to be done through the actual sony servers. Because our phones are subsidized they are not authorized to be unlocked so Sony Ericson patched the exploit to use an IMEI instead of MEID to generate unlock codes from the official Sony Ericson site.

You got it backwards, buddy. IMEI is what's used to generate unlock codes. MEID it's what we have on cdma phones

For the most part

We aren't "authorized" but there are ways *cough* http://www.unlock-bootloader.com *cough*
That and they used a flaw in the web design to circumvent the check to see if non-number characters were included in the device code.

For my own part, I'm getting rather tired of the anti-Verizon whine. It seems most of the people posting them don't even pay for their service, their parents do!

It has been my personal experience that Verizon has been the most reliable and widely available service for a long time, while others such as AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile have either spotty or no service in many areas. If that reliability comes at the price of less accessibility to customize the phone without spending a small amount of money, then so be it. You get what you pay for.

What it really comes down to is greed - people wants everything for free. But Life doesn't work that way, and sometimes we just have to face that fact and get on with it. Life isn't fair, and anyone who tries to tell you differently is selling something.

So, suck it up, save your local currency instead of spending it all on beer, cigs and munchies, and pay someone to unlock your phone. Or not, but stop whining about it. There -is- a solution, and that's it.

Bravo good sir. In fact the reason I changed to Verizon was about 20 miles outside Yuma, AZ, 5 miles from the nearest town, in the middle of the desert, on my 2 week reserve duty, Verizon had 3g coverage. ATT... You were lucky if you had edge. T-Mobile/Sprint... You were lucky if you even had service...
Yes, each network operator has it's pluses and minuses. Get over it. I paid for my bootloader to be unlocked. So can you. It's not that hard (hint: depending on whether you live, 6 Starbucks drinks or 3/4 packs of smokes or 5 bags of chips equal unlocking your bootloader.) If you don't have a job, I suggest starting your search at yourtownhere.craigslist.org...

He is exactly right. The original solution was due to SE being very slack in their website security. Nothing was hacked, rather it was bypassed by looking through the html code on the site and locating a page that was referenced but never actually linked to. The referenced page had a completely open unlock code generator you could put just about anything in there and it would generate it.
the second solution was if you turned off the javascript check on the main page it would allow you to generate. Then someone posted the actual way I found, I think this tipped off SE and they blocked access to that page.

Really? Can you back that claim up? No sense paying again for my replacement to be unlocked if I don't need to.
