Micromax Canvas Turbo A250 / Blu Life One X / Explay Dream / Wiko Darkfull
Warning for blu life one x users: As I dont have blu life one x stock rom so please take backup of everything including nvram folder, Modem.img etc. The Sim unlock code is 12345678 and its same for other Blu devices as well apparently. The catch is you'll have to use it EVERY TIME you reboot the phone and you also lose 4G.

Read everything or risk a brick. Standard disclaimer. Your warranty is now void. Use at your own risk. In other words, it is your choice to use this method; I am not responsible for any damage or problems. Always take backup of everything e.g. Nvram folder using various tools like recovery, titanium backup, root browser etc. Don’t do it if you don’t know what is rooting and custom rom / firmware.
