Member: 1421096 Status: Offline Thanks Meter: 0 | I moved to the Blackberry from the Sidekick, as the Sidekick was a closed platform. Applications to do SSH and IRC (the only thing I really care about) were available on the Blackberry, and for the most part I've been happy. My old Blackberry basically wore out and I picked up what was labelled as a new unlocked 8700 from feeBay. It turns out it's locked. And it's depressing, a headache. There are a million services offering the ability to generate the MEP code from the IMEI serial number. How are they doing this? Is it a lookup table, or is it mathematical? My "new" unit is a Cingular branded phone. I downloaded the TMobile desktop program, and the OS update for the TMobile platform. I was hoping to move the OS to TMobile, and then hoping it would be locked to T-Mobile SIMs. At first the desktop manager refused to upgrade the phone, as it's the wrong carrier. I got around this and got it to update the OS with the file from TMobile onto the Cingular sold device. The graphics did not seem change to Tmobile ones, after I got it to actually boot again (it was no smooth.) At first it didn't seem to want to execute the code, hanging at a twirling hourglass. I think restoring the previous settings seemed to load some app security crap that made it go. In the end the OS version matches but it doesn't look like a t-mobile phone and still rejects the t-mobile SIM. Does anyone know how the security features are handled? Is the MEP/SIM unlock stuff set in eeprom or flash? Is it definitely not done in software? How do these other guys generate unlock codes? Did they reverse the firmware and OS? I haven't looked to see how the OS binaries are packed, and if IDA Pro supports whatever processor is in the BBerry. Everyone I know is switching to iphones, and I thought about bringing an iphone over to tmobile but to be honest I don't really want another closed platform, DRM encumbered device. I really hope mobile Ubuntu will make it onto the HTC products (removing Windows) or perhaps something will happen with OpenMoko, or Android. But in the meantime, I'd love to have a free website where all blackberry users can go to unlock their own phones so they can use them where they want. I would find it funny to destroy the underground mobile unlocking business. I don't buy the argument the carrier needs to make back the money as phones are sold at a loss. All phones are sold on a contract based system, and if some poor sap can't afford their account the carrier sells the debt to scum who will harass the customer into eternitiy, which means the carrier always gets paid for the device if the customer defaults or not. Mass quanity electronics are cheap to make, given you can buy a full laptop computer with Windows Vista at Walmart for the same price as a blackberry 8300 without contract. Thoughts?
