I might be completely wrong in what I am about to say, but you are asking for something free that normally isn't. This sort of constitutes warez or hacking and I don't think you should be asking for those things in the forum. If this is the case, consider this a warning as these kinds of requests are not tolerated in this site. If you are not, please forgive me.
At the risk of appearing like a complete fool, what is HTC World service access

Wow....there's my word for the day Some kinda premium support membership I'm guessing. There's no mention of it on the HTC website either. So then again....maybe not. What is it?
HTC World service access, web sites like this http://htcscm10.htc.com.tw/SDO/, https://rma.htc.com.tw/rmaiii/home/index.asp or this http://xlearning.htc.com/eHRD/. All officially rom's come from this sites, in any language/version etc. Also you can find very interesting and usefull tools for HTC devices like unbrickers, unlocker, maybe IMEI tool, service manuals, documents for new devices etc. People who're selling this accounts, maybe they get it on illegal ways, stealing, phishing and they "earn" good money for that. egzthunder1, mate you're right I'm asking if somebody can share account for educational purposes, not warez (warez is usual thing in my coutry. It's because pay in my coutry are below standard ).

OK I know what is meant now. We have to have a co-operative relationship with HTC, being as we exist as a set of developer forums for their devices. For this reason, not to mention that hacking is illegal, there is no way we can publish or even discuss hacked access to these sites. Selling access as you say someone is, is doubly illegal and I'm surprised it is done in a prominent place.

MOD pls close this thread. Don't need anymore
Hi y'all! While doing some research on unlocking phones I see some threads mentioning other sites that do unlocking codes and i was wondering...
How do these people find or calculate these codes?
Do they have an inside person working for the specific company?
What do you mean ??? Rooting???
You can find this here with superclick or Gingerbreak
Rooting is NOT what he Means ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_lock
Unlock code are calculated Based on the IMEI number,Mostly Network Provider gives the network unlock code,But nowadays people need the unlock code soon,so they getting the unlock code from online sites and unlock it...Because network provider gives the code after some daysBut online sites ,you can get the unlock code soon,they are gather from network data base using some IMEI Number calculation,they only know that,I am also unlocked my phones using the unlock code got from Online site named as
Prounlocking.com/supported-phones/rs8wp7/
I am stunned that no one has any info about this. What software/tools are people and companies using to unlock phones? Somebody has to know. What a sad world where everything is for profit and no one cares about sharing knowledge or information. Any hackers around that have principles and believe in freedom of information? How do these companies get the unlock codes?

Let me guess. You joined XDA because you want to unlock your device for free, rather than actually having to spend a few dollars to someone else, or paying a few dollars to your mobile network?
Simple truth of life - if there is money to be made, people will make money.
With modern devices it's not as simple as it used to be. It used to be that with a lot of the devices there was a simple algorithm to generate the unlock code, hence you could find software online that would give you a code for free. Now it's not that simple, or the software would have been written and still exist.

Dude, I could care less about money. I joined XDA for my own reasons--assume what you want and see how much I care.
I would gladly pay for software/tools that are used to get unlock codes. I just don't want to have to pay someone or some entity for an unlock code. I want to know how they get the unlock codes. Isn't anyone else curious at least? Anyone know anything?
Hi all,
I am looking into setting up my own online business in unlocking phones via the code method.
Does anyone know the best software I could buy for this which provides support for the most amount of phones? Also has regular updates or nee phones added which are compatible by code unlock?
Thanks

how to start an iphone unlock business
hey man, im in the same situation! I've been buying and selling iphones and i always come across crazy situations where i need to unlock the phone and id like to add this service to my business, but can't find any solid information on how its done and its preventing me from selling the phones. back in the day i knew how to manually enter the unblock codes for regular cell phones, but i can't figure out the iphone! I don't know if you download some type of software or if you jailbreak it and unlock it somehow from there and then reload the iOS back onto the phone or if you have to have a special machine to hook up to. i also need to know how to get rid of the apple id problem in iOS 7 where if someone didn't deactivate the find my iphone feature before doing a factory restore then you would have to enter an apple id before using the phone. its called activation lock and a guy wiped the phone out somehow with his computer, i believe, and successfully got it to where you can enter a new apple user ID and use the phone. PLEASE, ANYONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO DO THIS STUFF PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Everywhere people ask for help on this ive only seen replies where they get spam links that go to bogus sites that unblock for you. i dont know what im missing to do this but i know its out there because i know a guy who can do it, but im sure he'll think of me as competition because im in his local area. I am a former PC technician, but have moved toward Apple products and it astounds me at how differently they are and are a bit more difficult to figure out that i anticipated. Any help would be appreciated please!
Unlocking
Anyone who unlocks for a decent price 60$ and less for bulk. I would love to work with them. Looking to unlock iPhone sprint and T-Mobile phone. Please contract. Pmaya004 AT yahoo
Recently I came across this issue, since I just recently bought this phone. Usually I will root my phones as soon as I get them, by following the excellent guides in XDA here, but this time, I didn't do much research before getting this phone (Mate 20 X). Aside from this unlocking bootloader issue, I like this phone and I hand-picked this from my list of options because it ticked what I was looking for in my new purchase - big battery, IR and 3.5" audio jack. Plus the latest 7nm 980 Kirin processor is a nice hardware to have. (I had Mi Max 2 before, but had some issues.)
I don't intend to pay any 3rd party and pay prohibitively expensive money to unlock my phone. It's absurd how much they are ripping off the people and on the other hand, I'm surprised how much people are willing to throw money at these dubious sites. Now crossing 100++ USD!!?? What the....
Anyway, back to my question :
1. How do these sites get YOUR phone's codes? I'm sure they are not paying Huawei to get your codes. If not from Huawei, then how are they able to obtain the codes just by having the serial number and IMEI numbers?
2. I hope it's just a matter of time before XDA developers can find out how they do this so that this can be shared with the community so that we can continue unlocking like how we used to do before with other phones.
This is an enthusiast community, not some dumb people who are ready to throw money to some 3rd party hackers to get your codes.
And looking at the latest developments, most of these dubious sites have ceased providing the service....wonder why. Something's fishy here. And prices are shooting up, no doubt, fueled by so many people ready to throw money for them.
I am not a developer but always follow the guides written by excellent deveopers in XDA. It's fun and educational that way. We all have paid for the phones ourselves. Tinkering with our phones is our hobby.
I wish people won't rush to pay and get 3rd party questionable "unlockers" spoil the spirit of XDA.

I doubt that anybody can provide unlock code without inside information/certain servers approach. If that hadn't been true, xda would have the code a long time ago.
What raises two issues. The first one is why Huawei changed its policy regarding AL00 bootloader after it was already on the market. Huawei had known all implications of unlocked bootloader a long time ago, that is the reason why it had stopped providing codes for other models recently.
It could be assumed that Huawei lured buyers to went for this model because they believe that it is only with unlocked bootloader and it will stay that way. A lot of buyers had wanted an unlocked bootloader, otherwise, they would have taken the international model which required fairly less customization.
Locking bootloader out of the blue and then enabling trading it through middlemen for huge extra profits is at least unfair to the buyers.
And there could be more. Is it possible that sudden change toward locking bootloader arise from the temptation to control users? That stuff that is basically what US accused Huawei and what makes discomfort even in more countries?
Finally, there is one question for xda, too. Until recently xda was a synonym for a free exchange of knowledge, solutions, software. Basically, almost everything I know about Android, phones, hacking, I've got from xda. And if I have something to share, I do it with gratitude for everything I received and gained from this great community. But I'm not even important, my knowledge is basic. There are many devs with a massive contribution, whole solutions, modifications, entire systems. For free.
It's quite acceptable to make reference to paid solutions or stuff and to recommend it in the forum. As it was always acceptable presenting royalty-free solutions in the forum and offering more customizing one via Google Play or similar portals. Or asking for a donation. But selling pure commercial solutions for ripoff money for something that has been already paid to the phone producer is an entirely different story. It may turn this forum into a commercial portal. If one could gain huge profits for participation only due to his connection with the producer, what is the point to spend hours, days and weeks of hard work just to bring a perfect rom or solution to the community?
Then, perhaps we'd need another forum. For contributors instead of traders.
Bootloader codes can only be provided by Huawei. FunkyHuawei and other "sellers" likely had an inside source that was providing codes at a cost - these people likely lost their jobs which is why there are no codes available from any source. XDA has found ways to load custom recoveries on many devices in the past, but this was never by locating the bootloader unlock code, only by exploiting a security flaw.
Personally, I don't think this issue has anything to do with Huawei wanting to lock down users. (despite what they're telling us) I think they are scared of research firms finding evidence of Huawei stealing hardware/software from other manufacturers. I don't mean this as a dig on Huawei, I think Apple is guilty of this as well. Both guilty in stealing radio hardware design and software from Qualcomm.
Has anyone actually obtained an unlock code in the last few weeks? If so, for which version of Mate 20 X and how much did you pay?
It's simple guys, 2 options:
Either 1. Insider that gets very busy now because if the many requests since OEM unlock is available again in the new updates.. so price goes up.
Or 2. Someone has the algorithm to generate these codes based on IMEI.
Since the price has went up by 4x I think option one is more realistic, however I don't rule out option 2. Perhaps we can fix a bounty for a team that can look into a key generator?

Seems to be advertising to unlock at 39.99 US. I am hesitant though not only because of the issue developers have with the ethics behind such a service, but becasue I am a bit of a newb. Once I give out my IMEI number, doesn't that put me at risk of ending up with a brick?

Are you sure this company will give you code to unlock bootloader? Looks like what they do is unlock phone from carrier. For example, you buy a phone from AT&T and you want to use it on Tmobile but you can't because it is carrier locked.

Sorry bro. I feel your pain. I am sorry for the accidental misdirection.
Hello, long time no see you in this xda forum.
Today we will meet again in the issue of Asus Rogphone 5 EDL 9008.
As far as I know, they don't provide any unbrick tools, nor do any technicians support this issue on public social networking forums.
Today I bring you the good news that your device, the 9008 bricked devices, can be repaired with the repair boot firmware that I have dealt with, but it is not free because it is the brainpower of our entire team. We just bring you the good news that the bricked device will be saved, not thrown in the trash like a damaged thing.
Link1: Repair Boot Rogphone5 (tester)-free [Mod Edit] Link Removed
Link2: Fw Unbrick 9008 Rogphone 5 (Success)-buy-or-donate (block link do not share)
I will attach the link of the necessary files, and some pictures that prove that the device will be saved by the gray matter firmware created by highly qualified technicians. Anyone who has experienced this 9008 problem, comment below we will assist you with free tips first, if it still doesn't work, it's time for you to need repair boot firmware and it will be at your expense.
Glad to be able to Unbrick the device for you, as well as bring this great news, which is really exciting and blessed news.
IMG1: First need to flash the repair boot firmware or unbrick through the file reading tools
IMG2: after you guys have finished flashing you can choose to start it manually or auto start it before on flash tool. You can see the start menu will be different from the 3rd photo, because this is the notification menu after we have repaired boot - unbrick successfully, and will show us a lot of information about the device such as: imei1-2-sn-vv.vv for example.
IMG3: this is the last picture, as you can see this is the normal start menu of the device, exactly that, because after the repair boot - unbrick is successful, your next thing is to flash your rom.raw asus via fastboot (bootloader), and re-enter recovery after flashing is complete, and finally wipe data/factory before rebooting the system.
Closing: Here's everything we've done, created them, and proved to everyone that it works. as well as we have successfully saved a series of devices all over the world. From now on you can safely use the device, and don't worry about bricked problems when switching between rom versions, because we have a solution.
So tl;dr you're trying to sell the Qualcomm EDL restore firmware?

I'm confused.
However just in case I'll ever need it - how much is this not sold free solution?
They charge $70 to unlock your bootloader through TeamViewer, to which they intentionally brick.
And they charge you $150 for the service.
Don't believe anything these people say, and don't trust the files.
This reminds me of the tech sites that claim they will walk you though a full restore without wiping your data and the first step is to wipe your data.

sorry about the issue you raised, however they were created by individual developers, and have been successful, and will have a charter cost.
You need to consider when owning them, at a reasonable cost and right for your needs. Like I said, I share information, and I have no intention of selling it to xda members. because its cost is not cheap, and not right for your needs.
If you can make your own unbrick 9008 or repair boot firmware, for free, use them, and share it for free to the community.
Here I only share information, I do not sell solutions, do not ask anyone to buy solutions.

That's like calling eBay a photo sharing site for preowned items. Since you aren't attempting to sell Qualcomm's internal repair software, I passed the info along to them to see if they could confirm its authenticity.

If you feel it violates the rules, click the report button in the bottom left.
I kinda feel bad calling it a scam. There isn't even ad revenue to be made.
Well I am not really sure as well but I feels strange to say "I'm not selling it - but it will cost you something, but if you have it share it for free, but I won't give it for free"
Maybe I just misunderstood everything but when I share my software I usually provide a free download link maybe even with a repository and when I sell it I tag a price and make it obvious.
I think this is what they mean by "victimless crime"
I have one last word, for all users who want to save their device but want a free solution, I am afraid that you will spend a lot of time waiting for the free version to be released from the past. who already owns the solution.
Here are some pictures, information I provide, to show that it is a perfect file, works well, and is written by a high-tech programmer according to 9008 standard and only works at port 9008.
This information statement is for everyone who says that this is a scam, trading between members. I repeat, I only share information, I do not want to trade with users.
Because if you are just a normal user, you have no experience, the support tool to fully flash these 9008 firmware...
It is a service for technicians, programmers, and need to rescue the device before throwing it in the trash because there is no way to save it.
#I share information, the solution is only for the whole world, and it is only for shops, phone systems, experienced software technicians, it is absolutely not shared for level users. low level.
Alright, enough is enough...
The pictures only show the raw firmware, but this thread definitely violates a few rules. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/xda-developers-forum-rules.4200559/ Section 9, 11, and 12 (3) for the rules in question.

I did warn everybody that this person is not to be trusted.
My mate paid 90 Australian dollars to have his bootloader unlocked. They "unlocked" it (but they actually bricked it) and then they told him that "it's late and they're tired, & they're going to sleep"
So he made a dispute with PayPal to get his money returned, and all hell broke loose with SFMobile.
They started abusing him and insulting him over Facebook Messenger.
He then contacted PayPal and had their account flagged for scamming.
They are not to be trusted

You don't need to convince me.
Good morning everyone
[Thread Closed] for its commercially tainted nature. XDA is about open and free development. We encourage everyone to support the hard working developers that share their amazing work here but paid services does not match that ideology. Even more so if they are not the author of said work. It's a matter of respect and our shared love for development and technology.
Or as put in our Forum Rules:
12. Sharing
XDA-Developers is based on the principle of sharing to transmit knowledge. This is the cornerstone of our site. Our members and developers freely share their experience, knowledge, and finished works with the rest of the community to promote growth within the developer community, and to encourage those still learning to become better. There are those, however, who take advantage of this model and try to make personal gains from the hard work of others.
