Angry [FIX] SIM re-locking with Voo-Doo [v.0.1] [29.07.2012]


This is for anyone having issues with latest Voo-Doo unlocking tool and LG6, LG8 and newer updates.

  • Latest Samsung updates has broken Voo-Doo unlocking tool, forcing SIM-locked users to use Voo-Doo to deactivate SIM-LOCK on each device boot.
  • Here is small fix that will prevent your device from re-locking on each boot. Voo-Doo unlocking tool is still needed for first unlock.
  • Flash in CWM Recovery.



Have fun and please share your feedback!

PS. Thanks to MuertoKo for helping me searching and testing this fix!

1) new firmwares are 90% patched... so u might lose it... when a new firmware comes out...
2) don't worry if new firmwares comes out some 1 will fix them..

1. It depends. If Samsung will update relevant library then you will need to re-apply the fix. I'm currently working on some 100% permanent solution.
2. This fix has nothing to do with EFS partition.
