BB5 Unlocking

[Cosmictej]

These phones cannot be unlocked by any hardware on software available on the market. No codes generated by any free calc can unlock these either, the ONLY way to unlock these phones is through your network provider, please ring them and ask them. There are to be no more posts asking about getting your phone unlocked, as I feel this has been explained many times.

Bit confused here all codes listed begin with 35761 or 2
I have a 6280 and the code begins with 35760

Is your phone a 6680 AND is it locked to Vodafone Portugal AND is your phone's IMEI in that list?
No? Well dont use any of the codes then...

[electrophoretic]

actually the IMEIs listed are all 6630 IMEIs... i didnt find a single 6680 IMEI...

they are all from Portugal right enough but they are 6630 IMEIs not 6680 IMEIs as stated above... not sure if this helps though!!

Are these new models BB5 or DCT 4 ? How can tell from the info which comes up on the screen after I input *#0000# ?

[cjard]

you cant tell from #0000#, you need to look it up.. google for NOKIA BB5 6233 gave me this:

Thanks cjard, I'd better get a SIM-free one then and not try to be clever.

[shdwsclan]

Sadly, i have the technical know-how to do it.
All i need is a few bios images to dump and sift through assembly....

Hi!!!
I try to SP unlock Nokia6680 by SFR France.
I have ordered master code for this phone
by IMEI: 355 661 004 933 214, and received:

#pw+3910078464+1#

It is garanteed that it is 100% true code, but

there are 11 digit..and I have info ,that the numbers must be 16 digit.
I entered this master code and phone displays message :``code error``
On this phone 3 times already code entered.
What is the way for reset counter with JAF or any other?
Where are the addresses with lock data on memory?

Hi all people !
My nokia 6680 movistar, from spain, can be it unlocker ¿?

[thickycat]

No.

And just to clarify that: No. Non. Nein. Niet. Não.

If you look very closely at the first post in this series there is a barely visible bit of text, which I will reproduce here:

"These phones cannot be unlocked by any hardware or software available on the market"

Your 6680 cannot be unlocked except by your network provider.

Only your network provider can unlock your 6680.

Unlocking of your 6680 can only be done by your network provider.

You network provider will (if they choose and if you pay them some money) unlock your 6680.

Nokia also could, of course, as they provide the facility to your network provider.

This is, I admit, unfortunate but it's a fact.

Why? [someone correct me if I'm wrong here] Because Nokia provide the facility to lock the phones for a reason and that is that the networks like to have phones locked to them to stop their users straying. Since they have (in their opinion) good reason and sites like this one provide means to unlock phones, Nokia have made it more difficult. They have a program that is used to encrypt/decrypt the lock codes and a 'key', both of which are held within a smart card. Unless you have both the algorithm (this is the easy bit) and the key then the system is safe.

Can someone create some downloadable software to unlock the phones if they have one of the cards? Doubt it, unless they can reverse engineer the card to get the key. This is going to be 'tricky' and probably involve electron microscopes and other things you don't find on the average workbench.

I'd love to see someone succeed in doing this, I really would. However, I don't think it'll happen very quickly.

To clarify the existing procedure in a nutshell:

Take phone IMEI, current provider id etc.
Send these into the special Nokia smartcard (probably along with a PIN)
The smart card gives back the unlock code

Unless the smart card is going to be reverse engineered and emulated, we're stuck.

Oh, and in answer to your original question, "No."

[thickycat]

In case anyone was wondering.

Finding the technique for creating an unlock code program really comes in two flavours:

Find the algorithm that is used by the manufacurer by either peeking inside the software in the phone to see how it decides based what you enter. Figure out how to create the 'right' input to this and code it in your software. There are several problems with doing this.

Take a whole load of known working IMEI numbers and unlock codes and try to figure out just how you get from one to the other. Once you've figured this out, code it in your software.

The huge list of IMEI/unlock codes is there to provide data for those people trying the second method. It's not there for you to try to match your IMEI and get the corresponding unlock code - I suspect you won't find it.

[thickycat]

A bit of crypto theory:

There is a cryptographic technique called public/private key encryption. It works like this:

The 'password' to work the encryption is split into two parts called the 'public key' and the 'private key'. They work as a pair along with the crypto algorithm like this:

Take your original data (or text) and encrypt it with the public key.
This produced the encrypted version.

The clever bit is that to decrypt it, you take your encrypted data and encrypt that with the private key.
Out pops your original.

The point to note is that the public key only used to ENcrypt and is no use whatsoever in DEcrypting - you need the private key for that.

Now, the important bit of extra information in this case is that you use the public and private keys the other way around (actually you could just call private public and public private) and encrypt with the PRIVATE key, which can only be decrypted with the public key.

So what Nokia do is this:

Your original plain text is your IMEI code. Nokia take their smart card (see my other post above), which contains their PRIVATE key and encrypts it. The result is what they call the unlock code.

You take this unlock code and enter it into your phone. Your phone contains the public key and it uses this to decrypt the unlock code back into the IMEI. If it matches the IMEI of the phone then it's unlocked. Yay.

The problem, you see, is that you need the PRIVATE key to create the unlock code and the phone only contains the public key. The problem with the private key is that it is just that, PRIVATE. It's held in the smart cards. Even if you have the smart card, it won't tell you the key even if you have the PIN. (This is like credit cards.) You enter the information into the card and it decodes it using the key and gives the result back. It WON'T give you the key on its own.

Am I sounding pessimistic about anyone solving this one? Obviously, and that's because I know about these sorts of things professionally. Misery guts, huh?

On the other hand, keep trying everyone - someone might prove me wrong.

I hope so.

Thanks.
