[ABANDONED] Bootloader unlock - discuss bootloader matters here

[constantin_padure]

One friend will try next week to rewrite the EEPROM directly with one kind of flashing box. Maybe he can make this downgrade ...

For any results, I will come with one answer.

 

[toncy12345]

I dont know about any box that support defy for any jobs, except unlock.

 

[toncy12345]

can we get hope of something? 'till now Epsylon went the far way of bootloader unlock...
btw no trust from motorola comapany. after so many message not even one answer.. .**** moto company..

 

[pranks1989]

Guys do you think there may be any way to compel Moto by law to do this?! Check the thread in Moto forum linked in my signature

 

[hrk]

In the EU (or at the very least in Italy), Motorola could be legally obliged to unlock the bootloaders, as they released a public statement promising the unlock at the end of 2011, when they were still selling the same devices they promised an unlock for.

This is known here as a "binding promise" because I may have bought the device because of the promise.

So anyone here from italy who could may be lead this movement and take legal steps ahead?!

Me again
Finally my defy is unlocked by local moto offical service site.
Days ago I flashed Ep3's ICS update, and the BL upgraded to 6. But today I found Q's 0112-nightly 2.2 ICS, and I flashed the zip directly. After that, my defy blocked at M (bootup stage), so I think this is a chance to unlock my defy throuth the moto offical service site (Though I know how to fix it).
After a check by the engineer of local moto offical service site, he asked me whether I flashed the phone before, I said I upgrade the software to 2.3.4 at another offical service site, and then OTA to 2.3.6. OK, he says he will restore the software totally and all data will be lost. I said I want my phone and data both.
Later, I got my phone and the bootloader was unlocked!

Could you please edit your post, because all our CM builds never touch the bootloader version only the SBFs do that

Does anyone have an old broken defy?
I would really like to know what chips are located under these metal-shields:

Maybe someone could disassemble them if you have an bricked defy

Great
I hope, the metal-shields aren't the chips itself...

thx.
there is an Power-IC(same as milestone):
http://www.wiisingonline.com/TI-510...la-Milestone-XT800-A855-MB525-p-5073-350.html
and 256mb sdram:
http://www.ubmtechinsights.com/repo...device-library/Device-Profile/?SINumber=27643

but where is the omap-chipset or the nand?
maybe completely integrated into PCB?

between simcard and sdcard are two more metal-shields.
can you remove them, too?

 

[bone101]

Is this nand ?

[m11kkaa]

yes, 2GB. But there's no omap-chipset.
It really seems it's integrated in the multilayer-pcb.

Or do you see any other chips? Maybe you have access to an xray-scanner?

Sometimes you can see a little bit if you hold the pcb before a bright light-source(halogen lamp).

 

[bone101]

No x Ray here

But omap is maybe the yellow thing under the elpida thing

[m11kkaa]

which yellow thing?
There's a chip between camera and elpido which I couldn't identify.
But I thought it's too small but - who knows

 

[bone101]

Some smaller ones seems to be polished......

Have you noticed the online price of the elpida chip ?

$495,-

oops, that's much for 256MB sdram
