Hi.
I'm desperate, I'm fighting with simlock that showed up in my I9300 since yesterday. I have phone for one month, never knew that it has simlock. Everything started after upgrading MIUI. In /efs/nv.log:
Code:
Tue Aug 21 18:04:09 2012: cracking detected
Tue Aug 21 18:04:10 2012: NV backup has been rebuilt
Tue Aug 21 18:04:10 2012: NV restored
Tue Aug 21 18:06:08 2012: OFFSET_FOR_PRESET2 writing input
Tue Aug 21 18:06:08 2012: 2nd NV built
Tue Aug 21 18:06:08 2012: NV data back-uped
Tue Aug 21 18:06:13 2012: OFFSET_FOR_PRESET2 writing input
Tue Aug 21 18:06:13 2012: 2nd NV built
Tue Aug 21 18:06:14 2012: NV data back-uped
Tue Aug 21 18:06:20 2012: OFFSET_FOR_PRESET2 writing input
Tue Aug 21 18:06:20 2012: 2nd NV built
Tue Aug 21 18:06:21 2012: NV data back-uped
VooDoo app is no longer in GPlay, so I used this one to patch nv_data.bin, replaced file, echo'd md5 to nv_data.bin.md5 but it didn't help.
So I found that thread, but on position 00181460 I have FF not 00/01.
Lastly I found site that sells generated codes for unlocking. But even this unlocking code doesn't work. I've tried it on modified and original nv_data.bin
Two weird things:
- original nv_data.bin.md5 has diffent md5 than generated from original nv_data.bin
- when I dial *#SIMLOCK# instead of phone status I get error "not registered in network" like on every other phone number; tried it on MIUI and original Samsung ROM
Any ideas? Now I have smartphone without the "phone" and I'm out 20 Euro for unlock code.
I think the line
Code:
Tue Aug 21 18:04:09 2012: cracking detected
might be the clue.
Looks like an anti hacking mechanism has fired...
Z.
But what does it mean for me? I've look for "cracking detected" on forum, but nothing usefull came up.
Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839200
"cracking detected" is mentioned there.. in post #92 for example.
Done it
I found stock firmware for my country [before I used Nordic 4.0.4 found on xda], flashed it from ODIN. Didn't want to start, but /data wipe from recovery helped. On that Polish firmware unlock code which I bought finally worked. CWM recovery to get back to MIUI 2.8.10, update to 2.8.17 and success, no simlock
20 Euro out, but at least now I have simlock free phone. Thread to close.
I'm not a noob, but I am confused about something that I think should be simple:
Monthly Android Security Updates
I apparently have to install these manually, since OTA updates fail supposedly because I run a rooted phone w/ custom bootloader/recovery.
Google has been making it a point to release security patches every month:
http://source.android.com/security/bulletin/index.html
March 2016's is here:
http://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-03-01.html
On that page they say:
"The Nexus firmware images have also been released to the Google Developer site.", with a link to:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
I download firmware for my Nexus5 Hammerhead MMB29K:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/hammerhead-mmb29k-factory-1943f0f5.tgz
I unzip that file and list the contents:

So, my question is:
Why does Google say that the March 2016 Security Updates Nexus devices are available for download, but the files themselves are dated November 2015?
This begs more questions:
Are the March 2016 Android Security Patch Levels really in the 6.0.1 November 2015 dated files?
If not, then why does Google say that I can get the March 2016 updates for my Nexus 5 from the firmware download page?
How do I non-OTA update my Nexus5 to the latest Security Patch?
Thanks!
