All USERS SHOULD KNOW!!

IF Z3X_SW touch ANY QUALCOMM PHONE, backup created automatic in *.tar format in backup folder.
IF something wrong with phone happends, user can any time have phone in original status by flashing this *.tar backup like PDA.


goto backup folder find 1st backup in *.tar fomat file. and flash to your phone.
phone will have original status.

now you have locked phone.

ways for unlock: 1 payed - need buy codes and unlock via codes, you will have original imei.

way 2: you can wipe EFS, you will lose imei, phone will be unlocked, after this you need write good cert file for any N900, after this phone will be unlocked, with imei from cert, and with network.

For write certificate according your imei, you need have this CERT.

you cant read cert from phone!, so you cant have unlocked phone + original imei.

option 1: locked phone + original imei
option 2: unlocked phone + imei from any free cert file.

you can anytime move to option1 via tar flashing.
