[Q] adb devices - Xperia Play General

when I do ADB devices on my play (R800x) it gives me a string of random numbers for the device and when I put in the first 14 digits on the sony site to get a key to unlock the bootloader it gives me one but I have no clue if this is even something i should poke w/ or does everyone have random numbers under adb devices?
List of devices attached
43x2354x314350x73238 device
( i put x for some of the numbers as I have no idea if this is a unique number to me or what and if so dont want that floating around XDA )

Ignore this it just shows things are working
/....now to figure out the missing 3 numbers and then I can steel his credit card numbers mwwwahaaahaaa
seriously it's not a unique identifier for "your" phone

its your imei number i beleve, it shows that your device is connected if the sony website gives you an unlock code, and you can connect your device in fastboot mode, you are able to unlock your bootloader.

It's not your IMEI number (check it with *#06# and you'll find that it doesn't begin with a 4, e.g.), but it is indeed unique to every device, and not safe to post in its wholeness
BTW, if you don't know what you are doing, you should leave the matter of unlocking the bootloaders to rest. You won't be able to update OTA if you unlock them...

can someone give me the URL to get my code?

but that is the whole point of unlocking it, I dont care about OTA's I really wish some more devs would pop up as CWM & unlocked phone = sexy and once all that happens can just flash the OTA's via CWM.

Unlocking sim on ht-03a?

Been trying to unlock this phone for days now, bought in japan(ntt docomo)
Have the unlock code and all, but unable to get to the point where i enter the code. Also read that I had to flash the sd card or something, but just keep getting the message "not allow" at some point. If anyone have some tips it would be highly appreciated.
edit; and ive tried rebooting it with new sim
Any help for a guy who has basically no clue of programming?
Yours,
Stefan!
oh, and its one of those 0006 models ^_^
1.5 or 1.6?
Are you running 1.5 or 1.6? If you are running 1.6, you are in for a bit of fun.
Some Japanese guys have used this site to unlock BEFORE the 1.6 OTA because the generated code only works on Docomo's 1.5 firmware.
NOTE: Remote unlock by IMEI is not supported on the newest DoCoMo firmware update. User must downgrade the ROM to the old version or flash a custom ROM without DoCoMo branding on the device prior to unlock it. We do not provide instructions on how to flash a different ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The OTA to 1.6 hit me on 10/27/2009 and rolled out over the course of a week. If you phone was in use in Japan after this time, then it's probably running 1.6.
Apparently can unlock ht-03a v 1.6... for about $100US
Just ran into a site that seems quite shady but nonetheless claims to be able to unlock 1.6 in 3 days for 10,000 yen eek. Their regular price is 8,000 yen (which is still too expensive) if you are still running 1.5. This could just be classic bad web design still common in Japan that makes the site look shady.
Basically, they are saying no functions will change by unlocking and not to upgrade beyond 1.6 after unlocking (assuming 2.x ever is pushed by docomo). And that if your phone is version 1.5, they will return it to you unlocked and running version 1.6.
Purely for my amusement, I paste the machine translation of their site (provided by them "hear")
Release charge;VERSION 1.6 of \8,000 and HT-03A is \2,000UP.
- Details of release
There is no change in a portable function etc. after it releases it.
Release days
- HT-03A is SOFTWEAR [bajon] 1.5 is the first.
It takes VERSION 1.6 about three days. (\2,000UP)
- It takes HT1100 about three days.
Request trivia; After it releases it when VERSION of HT-03A is 1.5, VERSION UP is done to 1.6.
I will pass it. (When networking if you do not do The demand of VERSION UP is usual [deru]. )
The problem is not in VERSION UP after it releases it.
Without doing VERSION UP when VERSION of VERSION 1.6 or more (1.6 is OK) goes out
Please give to me.

PS - "release" = unlock
its 1.6 yes, and thats just too expensive
thx though!
Agreed - stupidly expensive, so your only other option is to root and flash a ROM other than Docomo's 1.6
Mind telling me how to do that? been trying for ages. Does it mean doing something to an sd card? is there a guide i should follow? tried yesterday, but just got the "not allow" message
Haha, sorry but I can't be cause I don't know how - which is why I originally said something about your going to be in for some fun if you have 1.6. The information is here. There are wikis, but I haven't had a need to do it, so I am not up on what needs to be done. I know that it was much easier with 1.5 (one click) but not impossible with 1.6. Dig around this board and hopefully you'll get tossed in the correct direction.
If you are using this phone in Japan on docomo's network and you do succeed in flashing a new ROM, be careful with the APN setting for data transmissions because you can end up with a very high data bill if you connect to the wrong one.
Good luck and hopefully someone might chime in with links appropriate to the ht-03a.
if u trying to unlock the phone to use any sim card in it and u already have the code, u need to put the sim card of the new network u r trying to use, when the magic boots up, it will ask for the code, u enter it and thats it, u r unlocked
Doesnt work, already tried that :F

That does not work with the firmware provided by Docomo.

Did you see this?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking
Also, here seems to be full instructions on how to move down to 1.5. I have no idea how, if at all, these instructions would be different for Docomo's ROM on the HT-03a.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-root-a-donut-phone-android-1-6/
Good luck. If you learn anything, let me know
Thanks, ill see if i can get this to work! If not i guess ill be forced to check out some cable guy, or someone with a clue
Didnt work, thought id try the htc sync one aswell, but it never recognized my phone, even if i installed drivers, reinstalled them, updated, everything. And yes, i did fix the debug settings etc on phone.
I guess you are using windows, not something unix-like (linux or mac), right?
Towards the end of this thread, the discussion moves towards getting Win 7 to recognize phones for using ADB. Maybe something here could help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
have mac and windows, but htc sync wasnt for mac so ^^
Wait a minute... Like I said, I've never tried this, but I don't believe you need to use HTC sync. I could be wrong. I think you need to use ADB, which is part of the SDK. ADB allows you push files to handset, as well as get an interactive shell. Basically, it gives you command line access to your phone from your computer.
If you have ever used the terminal app on a mac, that is where you would use ADB.
Once you have ADB up and working, you can type stuff like ADB devices to get a list of connected phones or ADB shell to get an interactive shell.
yeah ive tried that too, only got msgs saying not allow

If you give me more information, then I may (or may not) be able to help.
What exactly was not allowed? Does ADB work at all?
What step in what howto did you make it to?
Are you able to get ADB to detect your device?
Are you using ADB on win or mac? win 7? mac os 10.6?
Did you get a permission denied (or something that) error when you tried to push a file with ADB?
For the docomo HT-03A sim unlock, you need to have a rooted phone first...No way around it that i have found... hell its a twofer... basic rom isn't any fun anyway...
I have gotten 7 Sim unlock codes from swiftunlocks at gmail.com, email him and ask...
I first found him on ebay... so he is probly still there...
My bigger question is how to get around the IMEI filitering done by Docomo's bizhodai APN... I WANT A NEXUS, but if I can't have unlimted Data it could be the death of my bank account...

Only if you are running Docomo's 1.6 ROM, which he is (which is why his unlock code doesn't work). The 1.5 ROM would accept IMEI-generated unlock codes and was rootable in one click.
But I can't really help this guy as I have not tried to root my HT-03a, which is also on 1.6.
Quick question: So it is NOT rumor that docomo is filtering the biz-hodai APN by IMEI number? People commenting on my blog say that docomo refuses to register the IMEI of a phone if it is not from docomo.
Sucks.
Can you point this guy in the right direction for rooting specific to the HT-03a?
Also, check the link to a Japanese site I posted at the beginning of this thread. If it is worth 10,000 yen, sounds like they can do it. 10,000 yen is too much, though.

Cannot Connect to network after unlock (clean up) FIXED

Hurrah! this has been fixed WOO!.
see here.
well done guys, you have made me a happy g2 owner again!!
Hi Everyone,
i figured we might need to clean up the
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805024
conversation.
as i see it, there are 2 issues
1. people receive an unlock code, the phone accepts it but then it cannot find any network
2. people receive an unlock code, have troubles entering the code but eventually get it in ok.
please do not post anything "setting" related - apn's, bands etc as this has been tried and shown not to work (yet)
it might be helpful if people who have issue number 1 could post some answers to some questions.
as i am not at all smart enough to work out what we need to know from these people, id appreciate it if those in the know could pm me what they think could be useful, and ill make a template for people to follow
troubleshooting template

Current Theories: (please PM me if i have anything wrong here or if i need to add details.)
-------------
Theory #1
Ghul99: the code is accepted, but the phone is still locked?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=121
------------
interesting information
this seems to support theory #1
1. i unlocked phone - code entered successfully, and i was no longer prompted to enter an unlock code
2. i perm-rooted my phone - all went to plan
3. i put the vision rom on my phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834450) loaded ok
4. i put a sim in my phone and now i am prompted for an unlock code.
5. i tried to re-enter my code but it would not accept it (it is the same code from step 1)
Nice idea for taking the initiative to clean up the thread which was getting excessilely long!
I'm hoping we can see some progress in a few days as I'm really missing being able to get any cell reception on a MOBILE PHONE!?
Regards.
I will summerize my knowledge later but one thing upfront.
IntuativNipple posted today in IRC that he found the way to get real S-OFF which would also allow SIM-unlock without code.
So there is hope for a solution, but keep your patience.

Just to help guhl and catch up with some unnecessary posts.
Common solutions like Reboot, different sims to try, Hard reset, flash stock ROM or trigger the unlock window to reenter the code doesn't work
Summary of my knowledge so far
For case 1 which was the original problem my theory is the following.
Cause:
Because of problems with the write procedure to the emmc memory the MCCMCN to which the phone is locked did not get cleared but set to an arbitrary value in my case "C3AB".
The CID value is still the same as it used to be (and also in case of a successful unlock would stay the same) which is "T-MOB010". The CID is a 8 character string and the case where all characters are the same (i.e. "11111111") is called Super-CID.
It is of no relevance if you use or used the hardware or software keys, T-Mobile or third party sources. The only reason where it would be your fault is if you pulled the battery!
The unlock-code that we possess (regardless if official or from a different source) is not valid to unlock the phone from this value "C3AB". If one tries again (directly with the modem, using my modified libril.so or a different ROM) the lock counter will increase.
Potential ways to repair this state:
1. Give it back to T-Mobile if you can In my opinion this is a clear warranty case
2. Find someone who has the MegaSIM and the HTC-diag software.
This will definitely work but it is going to be hard to find someone because the SIM is rare and very new.
3. Wait until (or help achieving) the so called "real S-OFF" state of the phone (when also the radio has security disabled) is reached.
When this is achieved one can disable the SIM-lock without any code.
There are still some very good developers after this goal even if for different reasons.
Which information could help us:
1. The output of the following AT-Command sequence from successful and unsuccessful unlocks
Code:
ATE1
ATV1
[email protected]?
[email protected]?AA
[email protected]?40
[email protected]?80
I will try to write a HowTo later for Windows.
For linux see the following posting from the old thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8750299&postcount=121)
2. The next thing that would help is a logcat from the first unlock process itself.
Howto:
Start the first logcat using the USB-cable and adb before you boot the phone with the foreign SIM.
Code:
adb logcat -b radio > lc_unlock.txt
leave the logcat running and complete the unlock procedure till the phone reboots (the logcat will end automatically)
As soon as the first logcat exits start a new one using:
Code:
adb logcat -b radio > lc_after_unlock.txt
leave it running for 1 minute and then stop it using <Ctrl>-C
3. The next thing that really would help is that you do not post anything in this thread (use the old one instead) that has to do with:
- the APN
- trying another SIM (you would be very lucky if you had one that fits the arbitrary SIMlock)
- reboot, factory reset, use a stock or non stock firmware
- use the hw/sw-keyboard, wait for the right outside temperature or other esoteric procedures
Finally I would like to ask moodecow to edit his original posting and incorporate or link everything that he finds important or helpful in his posting so that it will stay an top.
That is some very exciting news, thank you for the update!
One quick question, when we achieve radio-s off it esssentially would mean everyone could unlock their phones for free?
Thanks.

I have 2 ideas, which can help:
1. For people before unlock - maybe performing S-off before unlock will help.\
2. For people after unlock: in bootloader there is "SIMLOCK" option. When you open it, it shows file not found etc. As I think, it can be used to simlock phone for operator, whose numbers are in some file. There is my solution - find what that files are in phone's source code or by any other method, then put them in right place, enter numbers of operator you want to use, open that "SIMLOCK" and lock phone to your network. I don't know if it will work, but it makes some sense.

Your first idea sounds reasonable and I would support it.
Your second idea is something that is worked on, but you do not only need the correct file (which is actually called DMCID.dat) but there also has to be some "magic number" (like on a gold card) on the micro-sd card.
an important piece of info to carryover from other thread:
1- No APNs are listed
2- if you try to define one, it doesnt save
No APNs being listed is related to the rom more or less, not the issue we're having.
APN is software issue, correct me if I'm wrong so either way it shouldn't pose as an issue to us.
im saying its a symptom that seems to go along with the problem in the title of this thread, so, worth noting.
ie: i think everyone who has the post-unlock no-connection problem, cannot save APNs. all others can.
if you are a counterexample please say so. that would help.

So if megasim has failed due to corruption I think that the only way to solve our issue is to write directly to emmc partition holding locking information. And I don't now how easy and plausible this is...
I think if we get S-Off for Radio, we'll be able to write to that partition. I hope

I am a little bit worried about writing this information directly because the partition will be encrypted.
And also copying the complete partition from a working phone or one that is still unlocked will not be an option because the IMEI will also be there and we would not want to overwrite that.
So my hopes are more that there is some kind of a restore procedure from a secure area (I know that Nokia phones can do this, but HTC ?) or that we can lock the phone again with the SIMLOCK option in hboot.

[Q] Possible Hboot Hack ????

Whilst spending more endless hours attempting to root my wildfire, I have noticed that if I push mtd0 to sdcard as mtd0.img, and then use HxD to edit it as though to use flash_version ( I was thinking I wonder if it's possible to spoof supercid 111111) so after backing up the original I filled the entire file full of 1's (I tried 0's first, the error message tells me if i could force 0's this may be a good thing???) and flashed misc.
On entering hboot when it checks sdcard a load of 1's came up before anything else, so i repeated the experiment with stars *, and *'s is what hboot seen.
I'm thinking possiblity of some kind of alternate boot or mabye a command (fastboot oem unlock, or fastboot erase hboot) or something along those lines. Tried modifying the first line, but still came up *'s so somewhere else in the file possibly where version goes, but version doesnt usually show up on sdcheck does it.
Experiments continue
Keep up the experiments!
Thanks!
keep up doing it, you are great
thousands of people hope this work in the future...
i think unrevoked is not doing anything now
we r 4 months from 2.2....
Any more luck? How is this getting on?

I tried this a week ago and it does not seems to work :S
cid version is on "ro.cid" prop. Change cid on mtd0, flash it and then try a "getprop ro.cid"
Of course, you'll get the original CID, not the supercid. You cannot change these properties (ro.secure is another one. The ONE that prevent us from writing on system, etc)
I think these properties are Read-Only and are loaded into the system from the hboot at boot time.
I managed to change the default.prop on "/" from ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0 but every time you reboot your phone this file goes back to ro.secure=1, so I think hboot re-load every file and prop needed for their security lock at boot.
I repeat, even with root access you won't change a single property with "ro." before.
Not a single one.
Sorry guys, we'll have to wait more...
For more information abot the proccess read my post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042077

Need help with unlocking the boatloader, i got my OEM unlock data code and pasted onto motorolas website but it came back PUID identifier not found.. and also said my device isn't eligible for bootloader unlock! Did I do something wrong or is there anyway to bypass this? Thanks in advance

Some cellphone companies request that the bootloader not be unlockable. Who do you have service with? Rather, which company did you buy the phone from?
The phone was brought from UK Amazon as sim free
I speak from personal experience.
The Moto website is very touchy on the info entered into it.
I knew for a fact that my phone was 100% eligible for Unlocking yet every time I entered the information in it came back ineligible.
I copied & pasted the info from notepad 3 or 4 times (without the extra info) exactly as it was supposed to be with the same results - ineligible.
So then I took the raw data and cut/paste it into this Web page - - - >>> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/data_scrub
This did the trick for me, and I hope it helps you and others having problems.
p.s. Another tip I read was to cut/paste each line separate into the online form - one after the other, being careful only to "cut" the exact data with no extra spaces.
Good luck & enjoy the Moto X Play

It's down

I found a tool that can lock anything

Delete
I was warned to delete this thread because of the Xda rule.
Bye.
Close the thread!
I think it's just the common adb fastboot bootloader lock command

Sounds fair enough
@andy_zhang Why have you been warned by someone? The useage of the tool is completely legal, like other such tools IF you use it for legal reasons only and not things related to theft and so on. The way how they do it as far as I know on the LG is "nuking" the laf as how we called it back in the days, so the removal of the LG Download mode as it results in the access to the fastboot mode. After the reboot in the bootloader they execute the fastboot erase config command on their devices to remove the google account. And so on. The tool is just a collection of those methods and firmware flashing/restore tools. I believe that for that software you needed some kind of box though.
Btw @andy_zhang if you want to keep it secret I would suggest to remove the image.

Well the name of the program is censored so they should be safe.
Also don't be pressured to tell the name of the software not even in PM, it doesn't worth your well being and safety, we don't have as many developers or hackers around this forum anyway so we wouldn't be able to discover how to reverse whatever the program doing anyway
@ExtraDan don't worry I won't be pressured by people. And the tool isn't some tool really meant to be secret or so. It's just not as popular in the public. And there's no need to reverse engineer anything, just seeing it function makes you realise how it works (if you have some more then basic knowledge on certain topics like fastboot and lg related things in this case). It's just that the tool is using methods that are already available publically on the internet, the only thing that the tool does is combining all those things and instead of typing just pressing a button more like. Even if the G5 doesn't have many developers, enough people still visit the G5 forums with basic android and searching knowledge.
And it isn't so safe even though the censoring but it also doesn't has to be kept safe either as it's nothing illegal if the program isn't used for illegal reasons.

also I am not associated with the sources so I most likely dont think I break any law, but i found this

Making an account will reveal the full name of the program on comment #49
Looking up the name brings up this thread
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f453/lg-2-3g-tool-9-36-a-2228171/
And this is the download they provided in the last comment

I havent downloaded it nor tested it, so its on your own risks, remember to scan your stuff on VirusTotal before doing anything
Seems like searching the name also shows up a lot of videos of the program being cracked, im not entirely sure what it does, but from my assumption I think its related to unlocking and locking devices to carriers, but it might be much more
this version requires the smart cards and zx3 box nothing bad here other than pricey
