Database Info

[Q] International Use

I bought an ATT Samsung Infuse to be used in South America (Surinam). Other than SIM unlocking this puppy, is there anything else that needs to be done to ensure that it is fully functional? Thanks.
It would be good if the OP's notifications setting was set to 'Instant email notification' by default.

There is pretty much nothing else. Anyway if you need sim unlocking the place i will send my phone to will sim unlock it for uou.

Good. Sound like I need to just get the unlock code.
BTW is there a system timer (measure how long the phone has been \ in service)?

Search here. There is already a script here that does the same and gives you the unlock code.

You can call ATT for lock code. They are required to give to you. Might take 48hrs. If it is an ATT brand phone.

Thanks for the suggestion. Is there a law that compels them to provide the code?

I dont' mind searching, however, could you provide a good keyword to search on? Thanks.
I'd like to avoid rooting or making changes until I've proved out the phone. Baby steps.

Thumb rule, any typical case: 6 months from date of release of phone (except iphone) + your account standing position with them.

I don't have the link to the thread, but find attached the script, and the screenshot associated. I have yellowed out the device id and unlock code.
You need to be rooted, I think.

Before I root my device, I would like to understand what the 'cost' (not in terms of $) would be. I am not concerned with warranty.
There seem to be inexpensive alternatives on eBay ($3) that will provide the Unlock code. I realize that this is counter to the spirit of modding, however, I have a thing about understanding what the options are before making a decision.
I appreciate the responses and the help that I have received. Thank you

Motorola unlock code cracking

Hiya there everyone I've been searching up some stuff about cracking the unlock code and I have been kinda needing some help with this could someone possibly help me I'm kinda starting to get confused.
I also looked at other threads that want something like this:

Samsung Captivate

Hi everyone, Just joined the site. I may only be here briefly to ask a question, Im going on a trip and need to take an unlocked phone with me and pic up a Sim when i arrive there. So i happen to have this old Samsung Captivate and wish to unlock it, i search the thread and it now seems to be closed. Rather than pay a guy down the street to unlock it i thought i could try myself. Is there any chance someone can send me the link to the little program to get the unlocker code off my phone? i watched a fella on you tube and got me to this site. seems pretty cool, never heard of a site that might help people before without chucking CC #'s out.
[email protected] is my email. Also this phone is so old should i fine a firmware update for it........its like 6 years at least its been in the cubord! anyhow thanks in advance if anyone can point me in the right direction........Cheers All

On Google Play search:

I used that program and worked perfectly.
You are lucky it is still available on Google Play.

Need you for bootloader keygen

Hi there, I need your help,
I'll try to make a bootloader keygen, and for that, I need guys who already have your bootloader code for compare and find the algorithm
Just pm with your models, IMEI, serial and your bootloader code
If some dev Can help the project, pm me too
Hope it will work ?

There's another thread with this topic. You should contact these members. https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/how-to/bootloader-code-generator-huawei-p20-t3913213

You ask for some stuff dangerous to share. I don't really think someone will bring you these informations. I've already seen someone switch his IMEI, serial and much more with a computer and his main goal : steal an IMEI working and not blacklisted.
Another point, someone else already tried to make a keygen without success. Maybe you are right to try if you are honest, but IMO it's not possible to generate the unlock key because it's unique for each phone and not related to the IMEI (just a way to find your code in Huawei database when they could give us our bootloader code). I can say bullshits, because I am not really developer, but that's my opinion
Sorry if my English is sometimes bad
Ps: don't take this post like an agression, it's not. But we have to be careful with our expensive stuff

Non worries for your English speaking, I understood for the risk but for this is how the keygen is make, need to have a lot of database for compare and see how it's works
I already seen the older post, but I don't think it's the way
But, you just said something important, if a Huawei database exist and it's not a key generator, so someone know the URL for this database, and maybe this is why FH and others can't unlock for now
If someone have the information, please tell to us

I think a database is existing because there is no other way to find the right code for X phone. Except if Huawei generate it themselves, but it's not the case (bootloader code is in NVROM of each phone). At this point, I think they simply use the IMEI to make research and then copy/paste the right code for someone who asked for it before they stop the service.
If I'm right, we just have to find someone who know where these key's were placed, and hoping the database has not been erased.
You seems to be good. But I cannot help you more cause I haven't unlocked my bootloader. Good luck with that, Huawei made a very gigantic mistake by stopping to provide us our bootloader code. Their phones are just excellent, but lack of liberty

I don't think its a database type thing. Mostly because if you enabled dual sim, which modify's the IMEI if I remember correct, the code changes. Which would mean its somehow based off of the IMEI.
I could also be completely wrong, but I'm just thinking out loud!

Hello it would be really cool if you manage to create a bootloader keygen, thank you for your search

Question Anybody have any clue as to how one would go about unlocking A536W or other models' locked bootloaders?

I've tried looking around online and whatnot and have asked many people (even going as far as to email Samsung's team in hopes they might help out somehow) but I always end up back at square one. I genuinely doubt that it's impossible, but I don't know where else to go or what else to do. Does anybody know of a device with a similar situation that I might be able to work a method off of? Perhaps another Samsung device previously thought of to be "impossible to unlock" that I may learn something from? I'd really love to be able to unlock and root and flash this device, as its hardware is quite nice and fast: it's just unfortunate that it gets stuck with OneUI (I know everyone has different opinions on the matter, but I just really don't like Samsung's OS, personally).
Any help or guidance or advice - no matter how small - will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

you are not having the able to unlock the locked phone that has locked bootloader because they don't wnat you to unlock your phone

Realme RMX2155 was previously thought to be not unlockable for awhile but somebody ended up cracking it via editing firmware files via hexeditor and some other stuff. Eventually, somebody found an even easier exploit. It's not quite the same as the A53, which is why I'm asking if anybody has any ideas. Tons of unofficial methods exist for different models - some easier and some more difficult. If everybody thought that an official method had to be the only way, I'm near-certain XDA forums would be mostly dead with only a few device-forums active.

I've asked on here previously about unlocking the bootloader for my A536U, but it really went to dead ends. The best asset to cracking these devices is time. Just be patient, someone may find an exploit soon.

Although, finding an exploit has been done for phones, I read years ago that someone who did that for one only got it by chance. Its not easy.
Anyone however can sell it or trade it in and buy a device that's unlockable. Much easier.
