AFAIK, the SIM lock is written in the NAND. You need to be able to access the bit containing the lock, edit it and save the changes. To do that you need root access. Temp root should do. Temp root we have, what we need to do is figure out where exactly the lock is written, in the words of a friend, you need to read through thousands of pages of text written in a language you don't know and locate the phrase or sentence you're looking for But try we must and succeed we shall!

Is anyone working on it? I mean, someone in this or another forum reading and understanding that text?

Maybe there's another way: kokos is able to unlock 007SH by bypassing the need of root (I think). ... I wish we had at least a clue of what he does exactly :P

I don't really think he has either. He said he'd paid programmers do it and he's the guy with the money (which explains why he wants more).

Anyway, I don't think "his" method bypasses the need for root - it is not possible to change a setting encoded in the NAND and make the change permanent otherwise. I think he's using one of those "magic boxes" my friends who repair phones have - you hook the phone to it, it searches for the SIM lock bit and brute forces it. But to write the new setting, you need at least temp root.

We did try my 005SH on one of my friends' "magic boxes" but it could not detect the phone's NAND. There are dozens of different boxes out there...

If someone will help me complete the translation of that Japanese readme I uploaded a while ago, I am ready to experiment on my 005SH.

Of course, sooner or later the info on how to unlock the 003SH, 005SH and 007SH will leak out - many Japanese people already know it, and others too. Plus the phones are getting obsolete incredibly quickly and it is absolutely pointless to pay $150 dollars to unlock such a phone. I would gladly pay $50, which I consider reasonable.

Oh wow so the sofware-unlock is more "powerfull" than I imagined.
OK it is still next on the list, when I receive my phone and June is coming.

I don't know what you mean by "powerfull", but if you mean essential, then you're right. I would be using my 007SH right now as my main phone, if it wasn't for the fact that I have an unknown problem, maybe with the phone or maybe with the hypersim that makes me CPR every 20 minutes (I have made a post about it; no one knows what the problem is). So my phone is useless until someone releases a free software unlock (or a paid software unlock that you can buy and download by the internet and unlock your phone in your home, without having to send anything to anywhere). Until then I'll have to continue using my old Nokia.

With "powerfull" I mean, that you are "allowed" to make use of all the software and hardware features.
Especially the usual candidates for being locked from the manufacturer/carrier, like: 3G/Internet/Email/MMS (not really essential, but nice to have)/GPS and in SB's case often the multimedia parts of the phone (camera/music/etc.).

I will take the risk of sending my phone somewhere.
Of course I also do not like the thought of sending this fine piece of hardware somewhere I do not know.
And, of course, I do not appreciate the price for the service (more than 100 USD, some 50 USD would do the job too... I mean its not a secret anymore and once the unlocking hardware is paid off (break-even), you are in the green anyway).
But I am willing to accept this risk, as a necessary evil, to finally get a software-unlocked keitai.
Since there was no way to software-unlock my sold SH-06a, I am glad that with the Android platform there is some way to get things done, like they should be (unlocked from works ;-) ).

[NickAe]

Great, I would love some more information too!

@ NickAe, there isnt much more information, I only need to give me my address and stuff for him to mail it to me.

[keitai-fan]

Hi, i am still want to unlock my 007sh. Can you tell me how much for this service? (from h.k.)thank!

[undisputed]

130USD for the unlock and shipping depends on where you live.

130USD is way too much

Although this is already better than a guy in Singapore who demands 300 USD for an identical unlock. I guess I will be stuck using Hypersim for a while on the 007SH.

[zerox678]

It is 135usd plus shipping.
