Hard unlock Sim

I have asked to my telecoms operator the unsimlock code for my Defy, it said is yet unlocked but it is not
I have flash a full sbf 2.3.6. Before it was a 2.3.4.
Motorola can't give any code.
Is there a way to show to the operator that is still locked? Or a non paid way to have the unlock code (it's free with my operator)
I know that is a way to have a soft unock but only with cm7 or miui.
But i prefer a hard unlock for motorola rom.
THX.
Defy+ / 4.5.1-134_DFP-139 / 45.0.1390.MB526.Retail.en.FR
Bouygues telecom fr.

Always complain in a retail center. Take your defy, show him, let him call to services. Be persistent, not rude.
Indeed you could use a softunlock for CM7 or MIUI, don't know if you could for stock.

Thx for the answer. I have try this morning the softunlock with cm7 Nightly ( the only one cm7 i can install) but don't work . I think that the softunlock is only for 2.2.

Could you please try to install the nightly again and then flash the zip from my latest post on that threat?
Edit:
The zip

Also you can try to write at russian forum - motofan.ru ( i'm not able to post link there...)
Just write IMEI and your model to them, probably you'll receive unlock code.
If you won't, only way is patch.

Yes, but for the moment not possible to find any patch for 2.3

Witch CM7 version are you using? Could you attach the files in defy_simlock_originals on your sdcard?

Could do the froyo for bl6 patch it from there and re install cm7
teamwork makes the dream work

Do you mean to follow this way below? But i'm afraid this way don't work with Defy+?
Common Problems/Questions
Black Screens when booting up: (!) Tried to install a version of Android with a lower CG Version than the one currently on the phone.
Weird behavior after installing a Fixed SBF: Install a matching Nandroid backup with your SBF, and remember to clear Cache/Dalvik Cache using Recovery.
Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom: (!) aha! We have a issue here!, latest Stock Gingerbread full SBFs comes with a Version 5 of the CG, meaning until not long ago you were pretty much screwed. But wait, there is hope! A one kind Éclair has been found in China Defys that comes with Version 5 CG!.
How to fix it:
Download this SBF and Flash it
Root your Phone
Download 2nd Init 1.4.2 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery
Download and install this Nandroid Backup
Enter Recovery, Wipe Data/Cache
After wiping, turn off your phone
Turn it on and get immediately into Bootloader mode
Flash this Fixed SBF
Delete Data/Cache again and reboot.
You WONT be able to install full SBFs of any Éclair or Froyo since these Androids have lower CG Versions.
**NOTE*: I just rephrased the original post since it can be a bit confusing, it is linked as source below.
**NOTE2**: If you are using a non-Chinese defy, DO NOT USE THE CAMERA FLASH while on the Chinese rom, it WILL kill your LED.
Source: ((Original post here))
How to Install CM7 after Installing a Full Gingerbread SBF: (!) Ok, first of all do all the steps above on "Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom"
Root your Defy (Using SuperOneClick 1.7 and not 1.9).
Install SystemRecovery from GoAPK. If you install 2nd init, you'll just get into a boot loop and have to start over.
Reboot to recovery. Do a factory wipe, then do the cache wipe.
Install CM7 .Zip and then gapps zip file. DO NOT wipe again, you'll just go back to 2.2.2 CEE (if you accidentally do this, you can pick up again from step 3).
profit!

Yes it works with Defy+ if you are on a bld6 rom (not for the bld7 roms)
My patch from a couple posts back makes a copy of the patched file on your sdcard in the folder defy_simlock_originals. Could you post them here?
Don't know if the module works with the gingerbread kernel. That's why it is a good idea to try to get CM7 with froyo kernel. It's also handy if you wan't to install other roms (WIUI ...)
But could you fist give those files? Maybe i've made a mistake again ^^.
Edit:
Sorry you don't have the right guide. That one is for bld5 downgrade.
Here is for bld6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486731

Again, thank you for your help and time
(I have put .txt for upload)

The file is similar to the normal defy one as far as I can tell that must have done it... So prob. faullt of different kernel. You could try to downgrade and use CM7 on froyo kernel.

I have change the kernel with THIS METHOD
after, try with WIUI 2.2.17: no network; then with update-cm-7.1.0-11-Defy-signed: no network, even when changing baseband.
So, if all that i have made is right, maybe it's not fault of kernel.
Other difference between MB526 and MB525?

You get 'no network' all the time, even with the sim from the right provider, also without the patch?
I think you're the fist to try on a defy+. Maybe look to the Russian fora...
edit: And can you tell me what your Baseband version is? (in settings > about)

no network only with wrong provider: with the patch no code ask, but no network even with other baseband.
Yes it is EPU93_U_00.59.01 (cm7.2 working on defy+ as well)
with RC1.5 no boot after files install, stuck on google logo.
Now i have flash fix sbf to use 2.3.6 rom because of no battery problems and better battery life. So i'll wait and ask again to my operator.
Now baseband is EPU_U_00.60.03
Do you think if i'm able to put a official operator rom it will see that is no desimlocked? i don't have made backup of my official rom (newbie mistake ) so i have ask here if it's possible with this method.

Blocking by TI OMAP 3630
I have read this:
Blocking the Bootloader by TI OMAP 3630
Why and how is it locked Defy?
While Linux is Open Source Motorola keeps the Defy the locked bootloader. Why?
For commercial reasons of course: avoid too many warranty returns from sorcerer's apprentices who brické their phone, for example (although care is denied you still have to manage the folders!) But also the traders (who manage some of the guaranteed returns, but not that ... we shall see below).
So Motorola maintains bootoader of our favorite phone is not locked and ready to unlock the last views of Roma making the switch to SBF rootage and even more difficult. But the fact how this lock is it made?
Unlike other phones (other brands, but also other brand models *) easy to unlock, the Defy is equipped with a TI OMAP 3630 chip that manages its technology via "M-Shield technology 'in this block. So we did not do a software problem but rather a problem if one CPU is addressing this release.
This technology also manages the simlockage phone which also explains why the operators are far from favorable to the release of Defy.
No one arrived today to crack this lock: it should have the tool from Texas Instruments where he provided to authorized repairers to put the Motorola Defy mode "SE" (Systems Engineering) for this.
* These phones using Qualcomm chips or other, do not bénéfiecient techonologie the M-Shield and are much easier to unlock.

is there anyway to get back to my original firmware? or any upgrades that can fix this. please help.

Reply!
Hey there!
Before you do anything, you gotta root your phone. Then install 2ndint to get recovery mode menu. Only from there can you successfully flash roms and get it to work.

i have the same prob.
i can flash any rom for defy+
my phone is defy green.
i flash dfp 4.5.1-231 (bootloader 7)
my battery and camra not work.
any solution ?
Help

The bootloader is locked !!!
Hi ...
Is almost impossible to downgrade from 2.3.6 to 2.2.
Motorola Defy with green lens work just with 2.2. With "update" the camera will NOT work more and until now is not possible to downgrade !!!
All this, because Motorola don't want to unlock the bootloaders. I personally I have this problem and now am nervous on Motorola...
Most of HTC's and Samsung's have unlocked bootloaders. In this conditions, I wil not buy more Motorola.

If you want any help, we need to know your build number (not kernel). We can then find out what bootloader version you have (6 or 7). If you are on bootloader6 you can downgrade to froyo with a workaround, but on bootloader7, you're stuck.

You're not on bootloader 9.10. That's not what we're talking about. If you find your build number under system settings -> about phone, we'll try to find out what firmware you flashed to find out what "e-fuse level" you're on. Or just give us a link to the sbf you have flashed.

No, we're talking about kernels here. If he is a green lens user on 2.3.6 kernel his camera will not work. He needs to downgrade to froyo. This is only possible on bl6. He can't flash a froyo kernel over bl6 or bl7 without flashing a special sbf.

Ya we can't downgrade..it's not possible..but that special sbf s not there too..an i rite?

Nope, sorry. No going back from there

theres rooting for bl7s i think...so the only solution would be using custom roms
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk 2

He can root, he can flash custom ROM's, but the only kernel he can use is the GB kernel, so camera won't work (he has green-lensed camera) and if he tries to flash a Froyo kernel, he will end up with a BL error.

Oh..i didn't know that...thanks auris...that's because I'm safe on Froyo and i haven't tried bl7 in practical..

Bootloader 9.10 is not the same as the bootloader version, my friend (yes, it is confusing). If you de-pack an sbf , you'll find a lot of images for different partitions of your phone. The images are all called CG__.smg where __ is a number, e.g. CG31.smg or CG39.smg. Most of these images are signed by motorola with a special version number (e.g. 6 or 7 on defy+ roms).
Our TI Omap processor has an e-fuse built into it which is some sort of a flash counter. It doesn't count how many times you flash, but the level of the CG__.smg you have flashed onto your device. If you flash an sbf with a CG31 (the bootloader) on version 7, you'll never be able to flash a CG31 lower than 7. Motorola increases this number for every update they make, to ensure that a user always uses the latest motorola software. This means it is impossible for let's say a defy+ user on 2.3.6 to downgrade to 2.3.5.
everybody has bootloader 9.10 (EDIT: Most do, but I've seen 90.73 and some others as well), but it has been re-signed and made only to accept the newest kernels, so your green lens is stuck without camera. Only the latest Motorola sbfs are bootloader7 (as of june 2012)

yeah i figure that our cause in flashing you will see codes and code 39 takes time i guess we cant help but wait, thanks guys if theres any solution pop out hope someone will keep us up to date. thanks!!!

Newbie in need of help...

First off, thank you all, especially the developers for all the help you're providing and your hard work.
Now, I am a newbie with Android. I've managed to get a running start and flash Blackberries and WM phones in the past...
But it seems like Android is a little bit over my reach... Been reading for 2 days, flashing, installing sbf's and noting pleases me.
My phone is a used Defy, bought with CM9 installed and the camera not working. The previous owner installed the SBF on the defy, and it stopped working as it's said many times. It was a 4.0.4 android version installed, but I was hoping to install the CM10 jelly bean. Bricked it a few times, but managed to reinstall this SBF: DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.sbf
Now my Defy is running the stock android version with motoblurr, but the camera still doesn't work, as you expected.
Now, all I want is: If I still can't use the camera(the previous owner said my defy has green lens, no way to know for sure), at least it could do is run Jelly bean version, and if it's possible overclocked and with ICS(or how's that hardware acceleration patch called?).
If anybody has time to walk me through it, I will be more than grateful.
Stuff from about phone that might help:
System version: 45.0.2310.MB526.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU
Model number: MB526
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: EPU_U_00.60.03
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-ge281b6e
[email protected] #1
Built number: 4.5.1-134_DFP-231

Hi,
first of all:
the model number mb526 is for the defy+. The Defy got the number mb525.
is the phone rooted? and when, is the cwm (clockworkmod) installed?
when your phone boots up, does the led lights blue?
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app

Hello, and thanks for the fast reply.
It is rooted, and I know it's defy mb525.
I had installed sndinit2.3. The led then turned blue. I flashed it afterwards with rds lite and now I dont think I have any recovery mod installed.

As I know, defy+ models only have red lense camera Moduls.
so you flashed a defy+ sbf on a green lens defy. that's why camera doesn't work.
But no problem.
The best way is to download a froyo sbf for the defy at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
the Nordic is good for installing custom rooms.
flash the sbf via rdslite.
After that, root the phone, install 2nd init and then you can easily install custom rooms.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app

Well, he flashed his Defy with a Defy+ SBF. So the model number shown in the 'About' option will be MB526 and not MB525. AFAIK, there is no way to make the camera work now.
And he cannot flash froyo SBF as the Defy is flashed with SBF having BL7 and cannot be downgraded.

Sorry, I forgot that a downgrade doesn't work.
In that case, you have to use the custom Roms for the defy+
a good start is, to download a cm7 build defy-cm.net
boot your phone and when the led turnes blue, pressing the volume down key.
you should get into the recovery menu. I wipe data/cache and the install zip from sd (before you have to copy the
downloaded rom on the sd of your phone).
After cm7 is running, go on and download the latest jb rom of quarx. install the same way as cm7.
that's it.

Well, I kinda did that, but... after I flashed the CM10 jb, the phone starts (the sound of new drive connected in windows led me to believe that), but noting comes up on the defy's screen... restarted...but nothing...
So then I flashed back to the SBF previously mentioned...
Donno if there is a difference between sndinit and CMW...
Should I try it with CMW?

I guess you flashed a ROM intended for Defy (for Froyo kernel, and yours is GB kernel). Try flashing CM10 ROM for Defy+.

One the one side, your hardware is a mb525 - defy but on the other side you're firmware an bootloader is a mb526 - defy+.
so you can only use roms for a defy+ - using a rom for the defy causes the error you got.

The CM7 that's needed to install CM10 should be also for defy+?
Also, don't I have to follow the steps for defy +? Meaning flashing CM9, and then CM10 JB?

Yes, you can flash CM ROMs for Defy+ only, with battery fix as the battery is 1500mah which defy+ has 1700mah.

You will have to install 2ndinit to get CWM.

The steps for flashing are the same. But as you have a defy+ now, you need some extra tweaks like battery patch and maybe camera patch. Some of them are included in the actual roms. battery patch is needed because of the different types of battery between defy and defy+.

Back again here.
Question as usual.
Is there any chance I can downgrade if I take my defy to a service? Can they do it with some cool toys?

Just reflash your stock SBF using RSDLite and it will be back to how it was when you bought it.

Defy won't boot, only white LED, RSD recognises it!!!

Hi Guys!
I'm come to Defy from LG GT540, so I don't know much about this phone.
So I just got the phone fom second hand (the person tried to root is, but failed...) and it just don't want to work.
I can't turn it on, just when I plug it into my PC a white LED lights up and that's all. I can't get into CWM or anything BUT I CAN USE RSD LITE!!!!! It recognises the phone and I can flash files to it. I tried couple of times, but NOTHING CHANGED.
I don't know anything about the phone's past (what type of CG of OS was on is)
I would really apprechiate your help Guys!

Why you flashed BL7 SBF? First you needed to test on BL6 or BL5 - if it booted you should have working camera with froyo kernel..... Now your camera will NEVER work with stock roms & cm7..... Last hope is CM10.1/10/9 or MIUI 4 ics with 2ndboot....... Only on 2ndboot roms....

Hi Guys!
I'm come to Defy from LG GT540, so I don't know much about this phone.
So I just got the phone fom second hand (the person tried to root is, but failed...) and it just don't want to work.
I can't turn it on, just when I plug it into my PC a white LED lights up and that's all. I can't get into CWM or anything BUT I CAN USE RSD LITE!!!!! It recognises the phone and I can flash files to it. I tried couple of times, but NOTHING CHANGED.
I don't know anything about the phone's past (what type of CG of OS was on is)
I would really apprechiate your help Guys!

flash the sbf

First flash this http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt..._USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf.gz
After flashing wipedata and cache from stock recovery or else you will stuck on boot animation and wait for some some time it will boot.
Then this flash this to gain root access http://www.mediafire.com/?76z12j1at3etf4j
then install 2nd init and CWM and install cm10 or what ever.

Can't install CM10

Specifically Xperia D 3.5.
I have tried everything I can do, but I can't seem to pass the red light. I read the instructions, did everything, still nothing. I found a thread were they had the same problem, but didn't work. If there is anything I can do to make it work, tell me.

If you really did it right it should work.
Let's check again from the start, what model you have, defy mb525/526?
Trys to install from stock or custom roms?
Rooted? CWM (2ndinit) installed correctly?
Custom rom's zip file downloaded completely without file corruption?
Wiped correctly as instructed?
There must be something wrong in your way, just recheck everything and try again.

Make sure that you have at least bl6 before flashing CM10. I have seen many users failing to install cm10 because of this.

Maybe not, my MB525's based on 2.2.2 froyo build 3.4.3(BL4) and using CM10 2ndboot without problem.
It could be any other point.

Hi,
I am exactly in the same situation, and I posted HERE, where the problem has already been mentionned. Maybe we can mutualize our experiences.
Cheers

I went to the beginners guide for help. I put in the CG5 SBF file from the Chinese Defy. I don't think it would work to put in CM10. It is Eclair.

OK so bl5 is the one to blame if you have problems upgrading to cm10. Like 'intemptesta' mentioned we're missing more info about the model of your device i.e. mb525/526 red or green lens. See this approach for mb525 red lens.

I have MB525 red lens. Just flashed the Chinese ROM. All I need to do is root it. I just do what the linked thread tells me?

Did you wait about 10~20 minutes? because this ROM take a long on the first boot

Sure, you can follow that AIO guide. It's a good thread if you want to get your defy back to life, but it doesn't tell you what to do if you want to successfully install cm10. My guess is that cm10 simply won't work because of that bl5 and I saw this many times before. If you follow that link from my previous post and this link you'll see what I'm talking about.

Thanks! All of y'all have been a great help!
Update: Got it up and running! I get to live!
