Guest grifter Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 so theoretically, you can have an unlocked unit with SMART 1.50.28 ROM by using the 0.93-0.98 bootloader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elr Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Probably yes but i didnt try to unlock it then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grifter Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 I am assuming that the simlock feature is built into the bootloader and not into the ROM itself. Anybody can confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mlkanapi Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 I am assuming that the simlock feature is built into the bootloader and not into the ROM itself. Anybody can confirm this? I'll be able to play around with another friend's phone tomorrow evening. Just what is it you want to try? The phone is unlocked with 1.37 ROM. It may even come with an empty 128 MMC card. Do I change bootloader to 0.93 then update to ROM 1.5 of Smart and see if it is still unlocked? Maybe that's the reason I read about a few units that remain unlocked even if the ROM has been updated to 1.5... :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is how it looks like....fcru2mmcsd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grifter Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 @mlkanapi, cool! ;) Since the phone is already unlocked, can you try upgrading the unit to SMART 1.50.28 ROM first, then downgrade the bootloader to 0.93? Then check if the phone is still unlocked or if you can run the spvunlock.exe util successfully. hope to hear from you soon! thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking where I might be able to get a 0.93 whx file to try to load into my friend's 128 Mb card. Yes I have the phone right now. I was able to downgrade the bootloader to 0.93 before I left my office but when I got home, I upgraded to Smart 1.5 ROM and it's locked again. I'll see if I can delay the returning of this phone for a few days to try out your suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hazmat Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 meron na bang nagpa-unlock sa greenhills? I am just asking whether they are reliable. They charge 1,500 ok lang yun if it is reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mlkanapi Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 @grifter, I had to return the phone as I will not have time to work on it for the next few days. I made a rain check and will have the phone with me again next week. The thing is my friend seems happy with the Smart 1.5 update... :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grifter Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 @mlkanapi, We already tried the different bootloader scenarios. See the Sept 18 EB thread for the recap of the event. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mlkanapi Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 grifter, It looks like you all had a great time. I guess the only difference between the 0.93 and the 0.98 and 0.99 bootloaders that you played around with is the presence of other options other than ERASE IPSM. I might try to change my Smart 1.37 to I-mate and see if it's better. Basta unlocked and may T9... baculao, You're welcome. Did you see all the dfiferent ROMS that I compiled there? There are more programs if you want... Regards to all, mlkanapi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brigoli Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 sayang, i missed the EB. I'm dying to have my phone upgraded, i'm thinking of buying a card reader and experiment on making a bootloader. worth it kaya? otherwise, would there be someone near qc (sm north edsa) who could load the bootloader to my phone (hehehe. baka sakali lang naman -- sagot ko 1 kape sa starbucks?)? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
