hello members
i am confused between what is rooting and what is unlocking.
i have a att captivate running android 2.1.
i want to unlock it.
so should i root it first and then unlock OR unlock and then root.
I read the procedure to unlock on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045
i could not understand the line
" Change any 0x01 to 0x00 (or 0x00 to 0x01 to lock for warranty) "
can you please explain me in a non technical language please.
Cheers !
Unlocking the phone will let you use a different cell provider. You do not need to root your phone to unlock it
Glitch kernel let me OC to 1.4!
and yea i saw a couple of methods to unlock the phone.
in the first one you have to go to adb shell etc etc and the other being with the software/app.
is there any difference in the state of the phone after unlocking by the 2 different methods?
which one should i use?

Hi Guys!!
I Had A Kaiser 8925 And My Unlockcode Is: 61562812 (after Called [email protected] For The Code And Try To Unlock My Phone On This Web......)
But The Problem Is I Can Not Sellect Ok On The Screen..........
On The Screen Said: You Have Tried 6 Times.....wait Until To Time Out..........
Please Help Me To Unlock This Phone........thanxxxxxxxx
Yea your phone is locked forever. You get 5 tries typically and then you're screwed. Call the phone in for warranty and then just get a new unlock code for that phone and you're good to go.
On T-Mobile if you go over 10 times you just have to call in and verify the IMEI. If ATT is different, then I guess you are locked forever.
Yeah, that's a bummer man. Your phone is locked permanently.
This is the official ATT statement that came with my unlock code...
Caution: If this process is unsuccessful five times in a row, the phone will be permanently locked to the at&t network. Do not attempt to enter the code more than one (1) time total. Instructions below will assist you in unlocking your device, if these steps are unsuccessful please contact us at 1-800-331-0500 or (916) 843-4685 from overseas.
However, I think it may be possible with jocky's SuperCID with AT commands.

If you have ATT and you've had the phone for less than a year (you have to, it's less than a year old) then you have warranty return.
However, you must have purchased the phone from ATT, you can't buy it on eBay or something and then warranty return it. Also, I'm sure they will deny you on the basis that you locked your phone, although I can't be sure. You'll probably have to be creative here, but you'd have to check the 'official' rules.

SIM Locked for Ever
Hi
Sorry fro cross posting
I have HTC Fuze (AT&T) with the Stock ROM and features.
I purchased this model in US and currently I am in India and tried to use it
I obtained the proper unlock code from AT&T and entered it from the QWERTY Keyboard and also the touch screen entry
But this failed to unlock it.
But I tried unlocking it for 4 times
Later I called AT&T and asked help they asked me to do whatever was done before once from Keyboard and once from screen
Now I get a message stating
"You have tried 6 times so far Please wait untill timeout"
I informed AT&T Regarding this they say Your phone is now permanently locked to AT&T We are sorry for the trouble.
Is ther any way I can do the SIM Unlock and use it for other n/w apart from AT&T.
Please help me in this.
Regards
Srikanth GR
Hey everyone!
I will buy the Razr HD and I have a question about the warranty:
Tell me if I'm right:
if I root my phone, i can unroot, so my warranty is not over
but if I unlock the bootloader, it's impossible to relock and my warranty is over.
Thank's and sorry for my french accent
AFAIK YES .
btw even if you ever manage to re lock your warranty is still void so don't bother
Ok, because I'm just interested by the Root (for backing up my apllication and more..) So i can just do that ^^

Rooting the phone now sets an as yet unremovable flag that denotes the phone has been rooted. Search for details.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a keygen to unlock the bootloader without obtaining the key from motorola?
I have been investgating the relationship between the bootloader return code and unlock key and have discovered the following:
Note: For security I have replaced my IMEI and serial number, all other numbers are real. I'm not sure if anyone else has had a go at this but found nothing on XDA.
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
1A23457698214365#54413839303042
42443700585431303332000000#140A
858731D55F3B5DF78F0F6BB9EAE32A2
B8945#3D372B020F000000000000000
0000000
If I use the # character as a separator I get:
Code:
1A23457698214365
5441383930304242443700585431303332000000
140A858731D55F3B5DF78F0F6BB9EAE32A2B8945
3D372B020F0000000000000000000000
Line 1: With the exception of the 2nd character 'A' inserted, these characters are my IMEI number re-arranged a little.
The last 5 pairs of digits are swapped so an IMEI of 123456789123456 converts to 1A23457698214365
Line 2: Converting this line from hex to ascii gives me TA8900BBD7�XT1032���
This is serial and model number with a 00 byte as a spacer and 3 filler at the end.
Line 4: This is my bootloader UID (obtained from 'fastboot getvar uid' command)
Lines 1&2&4 I suspect have no relationship whatsoever with the unlock key.
Probably used to validate and log you on the motorola server when you request the unlock key, ultimately serving the purpose of voiding the warranty.
Line 3: Coincidence? Could this 20 byte string be relative to the 20 byte unlock key via some simple algorithm assuming lazy programming and/or limited space for code in the bootloader hardware? I couldnt tie this number to anything on my phone so I am guessing this code is derived from the unlock code during the 'fastboot oem get_unlock_data' command.
I tried online with varied IMEI and serials in the code and also using original values but with varied numbers in line 3 but could not get another unlock code. I don't think I can progress without more examples.
This was my unlock code: W4ZUEO2TZALOGJJWPRMO
Converted to hex: 57345A55454F32545A414C4F474A4A5750524D4F
Code:
So somehow 140A858731D55F3B5DF78F0F6BB9EAE32A2B8945
becomes 57345A55454F32545A414C4F474A4A5750524D4F
Could possibly involve the UID in the equation but I wouldn't bother if I were writing the bootloader and if so, then why have line 3 anyway?
I tried, a few sums but now I have a headache so I return to my life assisted by alcohol. Surely the solution has to be simple. Just thought I would post and see if anyone else could pick up from where I left off.
Have fun.......
I love the idea. I didn't unlock my phone because of the warranty but if we can find a way to unlock without allow Motorola to know it, it would be great...

Great thread. Hope in something of new
I can confirm that the first is the IMEI somehow swapped and an A added; the second one is the serial number with the model.
Certainly would help us Verizon Moto G users who currently are stuck with locked bootloaders :/

Please, someone figure this out!
Help required!
What is needed is more examples. If people post the line 3 and unlock code in hex, then the problem can be solved. Unless you are the kid from mercury rising or rain man, the best that can be acheived with only one example is a headache. Trust me!
Those of you that have unlocked, please provide the required info. Maybe we need a new thread title to draw the atttention of those already unlocked.
"Request: Unlocked? Share your info here" etc..
Really nice that someone is trying to hack the bootloader protection. I intend to root my phone one day, but I am reluctant to use the official way because of warranty issues.

Same here. I was actually surprised to learn about this when I got this phone. I unlocked my Nexus 7 and assumed (my mistake) that I wouldn't have to get the manufacturer involved to unlock the bootloader.
Hope in some help from devs really
hey, i'm looking forward to this, actually i come from a device that had a locked bootloader but i could root it just with an exploit made with ics. maybe if someone finds an exploit in jellybean we will be able to root our phones but, that will be difficult
Hi.
Code:
My line 3: 5D0E47A39BBB9DA7B9632E8C19BD2873B018B7BA
My unlock code in hex: 4B415947324C4A424B454E414654573256544A45
I think of the possibility that all data used.
I am not an expert on algorithms, but the lines 1 2 3 and 4 are 64 bytes (whitout the #), groups of 8 or 16 bytes required for any algorithm.
The SHA1 with 64 bytes return 20 bytes hex the result.
Although I can be wrong, sorry for my bad english, i using g translator.

Your English writing skills are better than many individuals from English speaking countries.
Thanks for your input. Hopefully, the people with the right skills can solved the problem.

Even if a keygen of sorts is created, won't the unlock still be flagged in the bootloader?

it would but you might be able to remove this flag and as long as motorola dont know that you have unlocked the bootloader all would be fine
Maybe it's need some help also from devs i think..
Hi guys I own a Motorola G4 Play 2016 (Harphia). I am having a hard time unlocking the bootloader for my device. I went on Motorlas bootloader unlock page. Then I followed all the steps to get the string of numbers and letters from my bootloader. Then I enter them in the verify box and it says my device is not qualified for bootloader unlocking. I don't know what to do I really want to root my device. The reason is to install Lineage Os and TWRP. I've tried rooting apps but they fail is that because of my bootloader. Also a side not it says my device is locked status 0. Any help would be great or other wise I will have someone from a root online based company root and unlock my phone. Thanks for the help
As you all know by now
Nokia:"we want your feedback"
Us:"please unlock the bootloader"
Nokia:"unlocking your bootloader will void your warranty"
Us:"we know and ok with that"
Nokia:"unlocking your bootloader will void your warranty"
Some say that after while changed their catch phrase to
Quote:
"unlocking your bootloader will void your warranty :good:"
- Nokia 2118
So after this sad joke let's discuss other options
1th- did anyone get the full list of oem commands ?
( If not you need root to get it. LINK: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-discover-hidden-fastboot-commands/ )
2th- I've been searching for PEM files and other that may contain md5 or sh256 data, so far I have found 5 of them, maybe one of them can give us a clue.
3th- what is the size of the unlock key ( for those who unfortunately had to pay for it ) , and what is it like ( in terms of the structure and syntax )
4th- if any of you know each other's enough and both are rooted can you verify that the key is not the same for everyone. ( Possibly using md5 hash or any other cryptic methods just to stay safe )
Thanks for everyone's opinions and there help
Thanks for your efforts.
