Talk:X-Gold 608 Unlock

current 3G unlock status??

What actually did dev team achieve up to now??

They claim they can flash disallowed code for the baseband firmware. What does it mean, actually?

Can they

• flash an older firmware version, which is not allowed by the bootloader and they found a way to circumvent these checks

or can they

• flash a firmware wich is not sig checked any more, which means they can also flash modified firmware?

The X-Gold 608 has TPM features. Could be, it doesn't run firmware code with wrong signature. In this case, dev team proceeded a little bit further, but is still very far from unlocking.

Anybody knows?

Well if what they claim is true, they should dump the bootrom. They also could write a Class 2 unlock, meaning the program needs to run every startup and modifies the baseband's memory. But this may not be ideal, since the exploit would be fixed in the next version assuming the exploit is the main fw and not the bootloader. If it's in the bootloader, this should be released already :-)

dumb question - why Apple is so strict to activate/lock iPhone 3G in the shop? the are some people who got their iPhones 3G w/o activation and activated them home, there're still not activated/unlocked iPhones 3G if DEV team able to load/download the bb from not activated 3G then it can be loaded on any locked 3G and then as a new unlocked phone simply activated via iTunes with the NEW SIM-card installed. It wouldn't be FREE for any SIM but it should be free for YOUR SIM. right?
