I bought (unsubsidized) a phone locked to Bell Canada and they want to charge 50$ for unlocking.

There's chainfire's sim unlock tool too.
19:49
<
ldiamond >
but I'm looking for more detailed information on how the lock works and how the codes are obtained, etc
19:49
<
ldiamond >
not sure if that kind of info is really available but the more I can find the better (so I don't start from scratch)
19:52
<
ldiamond >
30$ for the unlock code is crazy high, I was expecting 2.99$ or something like that
20:13
<
paulk-aldrin >
ldiamond, lock codes are just a shim to ask the modem to write to its nv data that the phone is now unlocked
20:15
<
paulk-aldrin >
they don't hold much meaning
20:15
<
paulk-aldrin >
however the way the lock is set in the nv data is more interesting
20:16
<
paulk-aldrin >
0x181460
20:18
<
ldiamond >
so that code is embedded in the modem's firmware
20:18
<
ldiamond >
and when you provide the correct code it just sets the unlocked bit to 1 or something?
20:24
<
paulk-aldrin >
more than a byte
20:24
<
paulk-aldrin >
but essentially, yes
20:24
<
paulk-aldrin >
I suggest there is some algorithm to make the unlock code match the IMEI
20:24
<
paulk-aldrin >
you could try to figure it out but that's bullshit
20:24
<
ldiamond >
I might be wrong but isn't there updates that flash the modem?
20:26
<
ldiamond >
the unlock code services out there use the IMEI. So either there's a link between them or they managed to get access to the db holding the codes.
20:27
<
ldiamond >
it's not opensource though
20:28
<
paulk-aldrin >
maybe the unlock codes are leaked
20:28
<
paulk-aldrin >
or maybe it's on purpose
20:29
<
paulk-aldrin >
like in the end, they pay samsung or so
20:29
<
paulk-aldrin >
it's all just a shim to make more money
20:29
<
ldiamond >
yea, that's why I'm wasting time trying to figure it out.
20:29
<
paulk-aldrin >
there is not any more reason to have unlock codes for that rather than anything else
20:29
<
ldiamond >
I'd rather not give them a dime to be able to use a phone I bought.
20:30
<
paulk-aldrin >
look over at xda, there are ways to do it for free
20:30
<
paulk-aldrin >
I did it for free
20:30
<
ldiamond >
yea there's the app I linked to on google play
20:30
<
ldiamond >
though it's not opensource and requires root
20:30
<
paulk-aldrin >
there's more
20:31
<
paulk-aldrin >
you'll need root anyway
20:31
<
ldiamond >
oh yea, my phone is rooted
20:31
<
ldiamond >
but I try to install only opensource stuff with root permission
20:31
<
ldiamond >
so that I can actually have a look at it.
20:31
<
ldiamond >
that's just me being paranoid.
20:36
<
ldiamond >
The law here says that the carriers must provide the unlock code, but it doesn't have to be free. They can charge for the "service".
20:58
<
paulk-aldrin >
ldiamond, lol
20:58
<
paulk-aldrin >
ldiamond, I don't think you you're paranoid
20:59
<
paulk-aldrin >
I'm the developer of Replicant, fully free Android version, so I know what you're talking about :)
