Mychaela Falconia falcon at ivan.Harhan.ORGHello fellow phone hackers, Back in March-April of 2014 there was a user on this list (Rusty Dekema, Cc'ed) who wanted to use OsmocomBB tools with a Mot C139 phone, but was stopped by a locked-down bootloader; the phone had Cingular firmware version 1.9.24 which none of us knew how to unlock back then. Fast-forwarding to the present, I recently got yet another batch of Mot C139 phones from ebay, and one of them came with that same fw version with a locked-down bootloader. This encounter prompted me to research the problem some more and develop a new shellcode injection- based method of breaking into these phones that should work with all existing Mot C1xx fw versions, gaining code execution on the phone's Calypso and allowing one to reflash the bootloader with an unlocked version, among arbitrary other reflashing and hacking operations. The new "universal" Mot C1xx unlocking tool is released as part of fc-host-tools-r4; the link to the tarball appears at the bottom of this web page: https://www.freecalypso.org/c139.html Happy hacking, Mychaela
