<ldiamond> Anyone knows where I can get details on sim lock of galaxy s 2?
evcz has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<ldiamond> I bought (unsubsidized) a phone locked to Bell Canada and they want to charge 50$ for unlocking.

<Jiangyi> ldiamond: cellunlocker.net
<Jiangyi> People also do it on redflagdeals forums
<ldiamond> There's chainfire's sim unlock tool too.
<ldiamond> but I'm looking for more detailed information on how the lock works and how the codes are obtained, etc
<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)
<ldiamond> 30$ for the unlock code is crazy high, I was expecting 2.99$ or something like that
<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
<paulk-aldrin> they don't hold much meaning
<paulk-aldrin> however the way the lock is set in the nv data is more interesting
<paulk-aldrin> 0x181460
<ldiamond> so that code is embedded in the modem's firmware
<ldiamond> ?
<ldiamond> and when you provide the correct code it just sets the unlocked bit to 1 or something?
<paulk-aldrin> more than a byte
<paulk-aldrin> but essentially, yes
<paulk-aldrin> I suggest there is some algorithm to make the unlock code match the IMEI
<paulk-aldrin> you could try to figure it out but that's bullshit
<ldiamond> I might be wrong but isn't there updates that flash the modem?
<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.
<ldiamond> it's not opensource though
<paulk-aldrin> maybe the unlock codes are leaked
<paulk-aldrin> or maybe it's on purpose
<paulk-aldrin> like in the end, they pay samsung or so
<paulk-aldrin> it's all just a shim to make more money
<ldiamond> yea, that's why I'm wasting time trying to figure it out.
<paulk-aldrin> there is not any more reason to have unlock codes for that rather than anything else
<ldiamond> I'd rather not give them a dime to be able to use a phone I bought.
<paulk-aldrin> look over at xda, there are ways to do it for free
<paulk-aldrin> I did it for free
<ldiamond> yea there's the app I linked to on google play
<ldiamond> though it's not opensource and requires root
<paulk-aldrin> there's more
<paulk-aldrin> you'll need root anyway
<ldiamond> oh yea, my phone is rooted
<ldiamond> but I try to install only opensource stuff with root permission
<ldiamond> so that I can actually have a look at it.
<ldiamond> that's just me being paranoid.
<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".
<paulk-aldrin> ldiamond, lol
<paulk-aldrin> ldiamond, I don't think you you're paranoid
<paulk-aldrin> I'm the developer of Replicant, fully free Android version, so I know what you're talking about :)
