Yes, but i can't move the bash script to the /system/ neither with the file explorer nor with the unix command "su mv unlock.sh /system/"

Same problem. I tried the script but does not give me the un_lock_code.. sigh

Yes my htc is rooted, i've installed a custom rom, and i can execute UNIX commands with su privilege but all 3 methods to unlock sim don't work for me. There's no line in the mmcblk0p6 that contains the Unlock_code

I'm also having the same problem. Was this resolved?

flash backup ROM

Had similar problem. Found unlock code in /dev/mmcblk... after rooting but didn't have a foreign SIM to test resulting unlock code until after flashing Cyanogen ROM. Finally bought a PureTalk prepaid SIM prior to traveling abroad to test and unlock code did not work. Before full on panic, flashed nandroid backup of TMO ROM and unlock code worked (whew!) Flashed back to CM10.1 and still unlocked. Now I can travel with phone assurance.
Apparently, you need to be running a SENSE ROM in order for the unlock code to actually work.

[Q] MSL not retrievable after JB OTA update

I have 2 HTC One SV LTE phones. One of them I was able to unlock the bootloader, root, and grab the MSL while it was running ICS. After an OTA JB update everything is running fine and I can still grab the MSL using MSL reader.
My second phone is identical but got the OTA JB update prior to me unlocking the bootloader and rooting. When I try to grab the MSL I get nothing. I've tried every method I could find including running "getprop ril.MSL" directly from adb shell which returns an empty line.
Code:
[email protected]:/ # getprop ril.MSL
getprop ril.MSL
[email protected]:/ #
MSL reader's error log spits out:
Code:
Diagnostic output:
Running as root.
Stopping rild...
Asking for MSL...

1.12.50.0516

Done.
Diagnostic error:
Does anyone have a method I could employ to get the MSL for my second phone? Or since I know the MSL for one device is there a way to transfer that to my other phone?
I'd appreciate any advice.

Ha! So that is why I kept receiving a blank line! I was on JB before I rooted and unlocked my bootloader. Have you tried reverting back to ICS? I would, but too lazy and at this point I don't need my MSL anymore.

There is an app on the play store called, MSL Reader. Must be rooted to use it. It will display your MSL, but ONLY if you are properly rooted.

Has nothing to do with the Rom. Works on ICS and JB. Only thing I can think of is either you are making a typo when entering the msl code or the msl is invalid due to a blacklist or your device being inactive.

I would assume because you have a device which is a US product over in Mexico. So I also assume your phone isn't even activated which may be your problem there. Not much you can do about that. You would have to settle it with Boost Mobile.

unlock phone
after opening a terminal emulator type the following
cd /efs/root/afs/settings <enter>
su <enter> <at this point your phone will ask for superuser access ALLOW it if you already haven't done so>
dd if=nv_data.bin skip=8 count=4 | strings <enter>
Your unlock code will be displayed in terminal emulator. something like this...
4+0 records in
4+0 records out
2048 bytes transferred in 0.001 secs (2048000 bytes/sec)
18164367
00000000
00000000
00000000
00000000
Btw, the nv_data.bin file is located in the same location across froyo, gb, ics or jb. /efs/root/afs/settings
This method, "dd if=nv_data.bin skip=8 count=4 | strings" also works on all platform.
So is this the only thing I have to do to unlock the new (to me) phone, type this string in the terminal emulator on the phone and that's it?
I don't know what OS is yet.

Probably yes. The new phone was unlocked after I put in my mb. However, I do not know if the phone was already unlocked.

Hi can i use this method for all android devices?

Hi, I tried to unlock my HTC One S on 4 differents paid websites, but all say "unfortunately your unlock code cannot be calcuted, please double check your IMEI blabla" ). Since yestarday I kept trying these methods with NO SUCCESS.
Terminal emulator and ADB Shell say String not Fount / No IMEI
I try the method with ES file explorer. The bad news is The file "mmcblk0p6" is crypted when i opened as text. but when i open with notepad++ on my laptop THE IMEI in the file "mmcblk0p6" is completely different when I type *#06#
I calculate the NCK code with both IMEI, phone says "incorrect password" I pay for the IMEI i find in the file, the server send me the same NCK with the app in method 2.
All necessary information about IMEI, model, carrier are in the attachment
Please anyone have an idea?

Need unlock code again after reboot
benJX said:
Thanks for your great and very useful work !
I'm actually on Orange FR carrier.
When I insert a sim from another carrier the phone asked me & I wrote the combination.
It said it was now unlocked and when I press "Reboot" the phone freeze instead of rebooting
Any idea ? The CID perhaps ?
Device : hTC One S
About : Facepalm S-OFF -- Hboot 2.16 -- CID HTC__203 -- Radio 1.20
Rom : MaximusHD -- SENSE 5.0 ANDROID 4.2.2
Kernel : ElementalX v6.1
Thx in advance
Edit : I get this error while running the script :
sh: /system/unlock.sh[65]: length: not found

I think I have a similar problem.
I have an HTC One S (I think S4 - 1.5Ghz). It is locked to ORange. I unlocked bootloader, rooted and finally managed to get busybox etc installed.
Method 1 and 2 provide the same code-
IMEI: 2547014 (last 7 digits)
Un lock code: 062975078
(sim unlock 61522531)
Method 3 didn't work as I got stuck after loading grep etc via busybox.
When I entered the unlock code I calculated the phone said unlock successful and that a reboot was necessary, but when it rebooted it asked for the unlock code again! I tried a different recovery (was using clockwork, went to twrp but still asked for the code on reboot.
I am scared to re-enter the code as I know I have limited tries - so far I have only entered it the once. I have factory resetted the phone - should I try and enter the code again?
I have now lost the boot screen after the factory reset so I don't think I can check the hboot.
As far as I am aware I did not install a new ROM at any point.

Thankyou thankyou and thankyou :->
We cannot thank you enough for sharing this brief 'tutuorial'. It worked like a charm once we had rooted the phone (which was the tricky part).
In case of it being helpful to anyone else, our device was prepared using:-
- CWM Ville with Touch Recovery ROM image.
- Chainfire SuperSU.
- BusyBox (must use Team Trickster's 'on Rails' initially so as to install from ZIP/SD storage,) followed by an immediate upgrade using the stericson version).
After installing that little lot, the acquisition of the sim unlock code was was a breeze. Thank you again.

Tested on HTC One S (S4)
Locked to Spanish vodafone
Worked like a charm
Had a little trouble installing busybox so installed viper S rom 2 and things went straight
Thank you very much

Cincinatti Bell Wireless
SIM unlock worked great after my crashcourse on rooting, recovery, and the bootloader all last night. But even customer support with HTC and T Mobile told me since it's from Cincinatti Bell Wireless, T Mobiles internet service WILL NOT WORK. :crying:
There's gotta be a work-around. Any way to move a Cincinatti Bell Wireless exclusive phone to T Mobile? There ought to be considering their wireless service is ending in a month. That carrier wasn't even in my area.

thanks so much guyz, i chose method one

Tried all methods, outputting wrong IMEI
Hi guys, I've tried all the methods and I'm ending up at the same unlock code which doesn't work. I noticed the stated IMEI in the bash script is different to my actual IMEI, and so I guess the Un_Lock Code is wrong as well. I've checked the mmcblk0 files using a hex editor and the correct IMEI is in there. Does anyone have any ideas?
I am unlocked, S-off, SuperCID, clockwork Mod recovery, busybox installed, running the Stock ROM from factory reset.
Thanks

hi,
so i can't get unlock code with this command
su [enter]
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 [enter]
but it work well with this one
1. Note IMEI *#06#
2. adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcp6.dump
3. Open mmcp6.dump on SDCARD
4. Look for in this file your IMEI
5. Just in front of your IMEI a 8-digit code which corresponds to the unlock code
may help some one
with regards

Huawei leaked fastboot flash codes

Huawei is very covered by releasing any sources for kernel or whatever. But now they made a mistake in latest Firmware EVA-L09C432B386 and forgot some scripts to flash firmwares via fastboot.
I just share some codes of them, but not the whole file cause all can damage the device, until someone find out how this works.

It would be great if there was a method to unlock the bootloader without contacting the OEM.
I'm stuck on EMUI4 and Huawei could care less about rolling out updates in my region...

Paying for some random app to unlock device that you legally bought, and by any laws you own is not a solution.
Its like having a car, and you would need to go to some shady service center just to open hood. because that what it is, access to engine of car.
And no matter what price it is, it can be even 1cent, paying or even suggesting that its a solution is not good for anyone beside some dude who managed to make business on people problems, and now get a cash everytime when someone want to unlock his own phone.

Thank you for answering better than I would have been able to.

There is NOTHING special about these batch files.
I took a look at the whole file and really there is nothing special about this.
Is just flashes every partition via fastboot and if the flash was sucessfull the script will throw back a 1 and continue with the next partition. If the flash is not sucessfull it will throw back a 0 and it will show you the update failed screen.
Nothing special

yep thats a pity. U should change the thread name or let it get deleted.
For these commands to work u need an unlocked bootloader either so people here could brick theire phone with the commands you posted.

Maybe not special, but what would you do, if dload gets fully blocked?

I think you don't get the point.
The files mentioned in the OP are special in that they're signed by Huawei, and therefore can be flashed, other than any flash files created by someone else which would fail signature check and therefore rejected.
Considering the naming, it is very likely that they would indeed unlock the (secondary) boot loader.

They have some background, because they stored it in every firmware now on Hisi95x.
