[Q] bootloader unlocking..bruteforce attack?

---

Hi guys,

I tried the following command to confirm that fastboot USB inteface is working.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools>fastboot.exe -i 0x0bb4 getvar version

Returned:
version: 0.5
finished. total time: 0.007s

Now...to unlock the bootloader, I would need the unlock key which I don't have. Would a bruteforce attack for key discovery brick my phone? I could somehow come up with a script to do that, but I'm worried that I might brick my phone...

A sample bootloader unlock key: A012ABC123456789

fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY

gosh..google around...this is a 1024bit RSA key. probably a big waste in CPU cycles

Just for laughs, have you tried Sony Ericssons bootloader unlock key generator lol?

The whole idea actually came from sony ericsson, tried the SE key generator as well, it does generates a key but doesn't work. HTC obviously uses a different RSA key.

We desperately need an eng-boot leaked!!

i think if its not been leaked in the first days or before the release there are not much chances to leak one -.-

DHD has one at the first day
