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 :-)
