HTC TOUCH HD Unlocked
I used http://www.sim-unlocker.com/ they charged me £13.44 thru paypal, after completing the payment they redirected me to a webpage with the software and a file which i guess contained the IME, ran the unlock software and everythings is good it's unlocked!!! hihi tha whole process from the payment till i got the phone unlocked took less than 5 minutes. NO WAINTING NECESSARY, EASY, INSTANT AND CHEAPER THAN ANY OTHER RIPP OFFZ OUT THERE. Attached is the .rar file with the unlock software and the ime.unl file that i downloaded from http://www.sim-unlocker.com/ my guess is if somehow you can manage to change the ime in the ime.unl file and change to your phone's IME (found on the back of the phone if you remove the battery) it should work.
*****Only for those who can manage to change the IME number in the ime.unl file to their IME. The IME in the ime.unl file has my IME incorporated so if you can find a way to change it to your IME, it should work***** The unlock code i got from the unlock software for my phone was 04686206 try it on your phone and it might work for you
***Instructions***
1- The unlock software and the ime.unl file must be on the same folder when you run the Unlock software (BLAC001-unlocker.exe remember to run it as administrator)
2- Make sure you have Microsoft ActiveSync for those running XP or Sync Center for those running Vista and setup a partnership.
3- When Microsoft ActiveSync or Sync Center says Connected, run the program and follow the prompts.
Sim Unlocker
Sorry, no file attached. Would guess that we would also need to know your imei code to identify and change.
Hi,
I can only highly recommend sim-unlocker.com. After many, many weeks of frustrated attempts, within 2 days I was able to unlock the phone.
Also, ever since I got in touch with them, following DavidMc0 advice, they were extremely fast in replying, and tried to get a solution out to me fast. The solution, in the end, worked fine.
Also, regarding posting here the soft and unlocking file that they provide, I would not recommend it... they are phone specific, and, in fact, they are the result of the unlocking company's efforts... Here, I believe you pay a very reasonable (read low) amount for their program, but also for their very good and responsive support.
Regards,
P.

touch hd unlocked without problems
just wanted to say,
sim-unlocker.com worked without any problems with my touch hd.
it's really worth the 15€ (compared to 399€ my network provider wanted me to pay )

Is there a Way to make a Offline Wikipedia?
I didnt found just online Wikis but no offline?
Put the Wiki on the SD and open with a App?
Hope someone can help me!
I would imagine that it would take quite a lot of space to put the entire wiki database on an SD card. Hundreds of gigs.
ther eis an app for winmo
that does that....
it has 2 versions, one you buy with no updates
and the other one you buy and have unlimited updates...
the website has a mailing list to be notified when it will eb avail for android...
however i dont remember either the name or the website .... i did sign up for the newsletter though...
There's a handful for ipods and a few hacks for other devices. Basically you need two thing: the static HTML files and an HTML viewer.
There's some static DLs here, I can't grab these at work though. anyone want to test chucking one on their SD and seeing if Astro or Linda will open them in a browser?
If the HTML files are available, or if someone can grab the ipod files, I'm sure there's some dev on here smart enough to get a reader working.
EDIT: looks like XML files might be the best way to go. Just need an app to parse it.

Hi All,
i was wondering if there is a way to open a .apk file and see the coding for the app. Thanks in advance for your help all.
You mean like reverse engineering? It's a pretty fine line around here...
Not tryin to do anything bad or illegal..just wanted to see what an app code looks like...how its broken down....thats all
most apks arent just one thing. the apk acts like a zip file, containing potentially lots of files inside. you can use winrar to open them just fine.
thanks just tryin to learn what makes an app and how it works

thats where you should go then lol
Thanks B-man007...i will check that out
Just rename your .apk extension to .zip and unzip it. You will get to see some stuff there.
Stuff you can't see readily:
The manifest file can be viewed with some tools available on sourceforge (very easy). You can disassemble/reassemble the .dex file(s), but I warn you that this is a pain in the A. I have done it several times and cursed all the way through each time.
What are you trying to do?
Easy apk dissassembler.
The most easy way to dissassemble APK is using this app:
Is easy and intuitive.

reverse engineering is how i learned to write my own programs for my ti-86 graphing calculator back in high school. seeing how/why things work inside an established program helped me figure out what i needed to make what i wanted. i wish app development was as easy as basic haha. of course, i say that with no knowledge of java or android programming. i plan on going to school starting next year to learn it though.
So after that guy figured out the tethering hack for iOS by just changing a few lines of test, I decided to try to find one for Windows Phone 8. I have no idea how it would get on the phone (besides possibly flashing a new rom?), but I went and looked anyway. I mounted the VHD from the SDK and I think that I found something. If you use something like Visual Studio's Find in Files and search for ICSSVC, you'll find some interesting stuff.
First of all, in Microsoft,Net.NetCore.reg, I found this: puu.sh/3J9yS.png That's how I learned about ICSSVC. So then I searched for that and in Microsoft.Net.NetCore.policy.xml there is a bunch of capability stuff. I have no idea what to do past here, and the emulator doesn't have the Internet Sharing option. So, yeah.

Unfortunately, this involves dumping phone ROMs and modifying the policies (We don't know how crazy this process will be). Another set back involves the fact that the bootloaders for WP8 are signed which would require the the ROM to be signed with the correct cert, etc.
Basically, this will be extremely painful due to WP8 running a Windows NT Kernel (WP7 uses Windows CE) and all kinds of other obstacles that we haven't discovered yet.

Also while I was searching, I found a registry entry for 'DeveloperUnlock'. So when you run the program to dev unlock your phone, the program must modify the registry on the phone. I'm pretty sure that it would be possible to replicate that.

As of now, we can't execute the native EXEs on the phone so we won't know whether we can replicate that or not. I know with talking with HeathCliff74, modifying the policy on WP7 took quite a long time and effort to figure out. I can almost guarantee the policies on WP8 are implemented completely different from WP7 and even a bigger pain to modify

I meant the program on your computer that comes with the SDK. I think that it modifies the phones registry to dev unlock it.

You are correct, it does modify the registry to dev unlock it by connecting to a running service on the phone and executing native DLLs. The main DLL that interacts with the phone within the program's folder is an Win32 compiled .DLL rather than a .NET file which would require some disassembly to get an idea of what's going on. It also doesn't help that it is a signed DLL.
Good Evening Guys,
A few quick questions for you this Wednesday evening; looking to make some customizations to my Windows Phone. I would like to alter the word "Goodbye" when the phone turns off to display alternative text.
Question 1: Is anyone familiar where these settings are stored in the root offhand?
Question 2: Can anyone confirm if this is simply text or a prerendered image?
Questin 2: Has anyone ever tried anything like this before?
Best Regards!
Device Type
Almost forgot:
Nokia 1020
OS:8.0.10521.155
Um... we can't even made the smallest of changes to the Lumia file system (outside of the user documents/media folders and the app folders) or registry. Trying to change system stuff like this is pretty out of the question.
Since you ask, though: to the best of my knowledge, nobody has found that even on the Samsung Ativ phones, for which we have most of a working "jailbreak".
The string that is displayed is probably pulled from a .MUI file.
Thanks for the feedback guys. If I make any headway, I will post back. Would love to have the device power down with "Will I dream?" from 2010 The Year We Made Contact.
That would indeed be cool. You've got an uphill battle, though. If it is, in fact, a .MUI file then it's probably signed (MUIs are technically DLLs, and although they are usually just loaded as resource files they can contain executable code so I expect Microsoft signs and enforces signature checks on them). Thus even if you get filesystem write access, it may not work.
A true custom ROM, where you could remove the signature check requirements, would probably work. That's no simple thing to ask for, though!
