I can help with the network functions.
Since my old days I worked on GSM networks, this Xsim card was interesting to me.
Since the phone is physically Locked and network unlock using X-sim card. What I was trying to find out.
What was the X-sim function at the mobile registration stage. What was being blocked or not blocked by the x-sim card in the nokia phone.
The original SIM card contains the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) used to identify the subscriber to the system, a secret key for authentication, and other information. The IMEI and the IMSI are independent..
GSM Network mobile registration:
-------------------------------
Since the radio medium can be accessed by anyone, authentication of users to prove that they are who they claim to be, is a very important element of a mobile network. Authentication involves two functional entities, the SIM card in the mobile, and the Authentication Center (AuC). Each subscriber is given a secret key, one copy of which is stored in the SIM card and the other in the AuC. During authentication, the AuC generates a random number that it sends to the mobile. Both the mobile and the AuC then use the random number, in conjuction with the subscriber's secret key and a ciphering algorithm called A3, to generate a signed response (SRES) that is sent back to the AuC. If the number sent by the mobile is the same as the one calculated by the AuC, the subscriber is authenticated.
Conclusion
From this information my conclusion is the Xsim in the nokia BB5 and DCT4+ phone lets the locked phone transmit the original SIM information by bypassing the phone locks. Someone suggested the Xsim card sends mcc+mcn = 0000 to the phone there by bypassing phone locks.
........... any comments....
===============
This is a queston to all programers and developers.
Theory:
Since phone is physically Locked and virtually unlock using X-sim card.
The X-sim, No-key sim card, must work in a way that it suppress or adds some infromation during mobile phone registration to the GSM network.
The question to the programers and developers. Can the functions provided by the X-sim (No-key) card, be cloned.
