if thay have unlocked the sim then thay could tell us how thay resigned it because then we could add root

So they could not do this any other way?  

[rickywyatt]

not as i know every rom need to be signed not unless thay have a recovery we dont no about

[rickywyatt]

has anyone tryed to download the superuser.zip from here http://downloads.and...-x86-signed.zip and flashing it with the xolo update?

[jikobutsu]

I get 404 on that link.

[tilal6991]

The file is the official xolo update. So it's already signed correctly.

[rickywyatt]

yes but we have tryed the update.zip at xolo and people said there phones were still lock so this must be and edit ?

[jikobutsu]

I have the official xolo update on right now and I am sim locked.


@rickywyatt, I managed to download, but am thinking twice about trying as I am down to my last device, if I brick it will be a serious pain.

So the guide is lying?

[rickywyatt]

im downloading it could you up load the update.zip from the xolo site open it for me and extract the META-INF and put it in a zip for me thanks

[jikobutsu]

I think the site is confused, they think oh the x900 is sim unlocked thinking flashing an osd will sim unlock it

Looking at the topic, it does not strike me that someone there has hacked it and knows what they are saying, they are simply instructing to update with x900 update.

I'm pretty sure this won't work if it's the official update then it's tested and still Sim locked.

[rickywyatt]

thay mite have put a tmobile sim in and thought it was unlocked lol

[jikobutsu]

Yeah I think it is clear that the post was based on either a t-mobile sim or theory, either way, it was not thought through very well

So what about this superuser zip idea, how exactly would that be done ?

If I remember right, paul said there was some kind of md5 system in bootloader, if so any changes to the update surely would result in a paper weight ? or in the osd case more like a skimmer pebble

Just noticed - that post on androidnova was by kabirsaini2011 on monday morning!
He was reporting the developments on here as rickywyatt was using the xolo update and we'd assumed it would lead to a sim unlock - alas this was just him re-reporting what he and rickywyatt were doing here
He wasn't fibbing - an honest mistake.  Might be worth amending it though
Funny how easily internet rumours get around though
arf arf!
Check the linky and you'll see his avatar smiling back atchya!
