smartphone unlocking

Eto yung procedure ginagamit ko noon(40> minutes):

Good luck openlining your SAP, and at your own risk.

requirements:
pls download, extract files and put them
in a temp folder.

http://203.172.17.148/temp/master/SAP1.6.zip
http://203.172.17.148/temp/master/SAP1.3.zip
http://203.172.17.148/temp/master/NK.zip

1. if you're using Smart 1.7 downgrade to SAP1.6 first
(install on normal mode). finish until you can
normally use the phone on Smart 1.6 OS.

--below are edited text from Mar's Procedure--

2. Put your phone in bootloader mode and connect to
computer then run the SAP 1.6.0.08 update, pause after
it detect the ROM versions (old and new must both be
1.6.0.08 or yyyy to 1.6), overwrite the NK.nbf file in
the C:/Program Files/RUU/ folder with the edited
NK.nbf file (extracted nk.zip). Press "upgrade"

The upgrade should go normally....after finishing the
upgrade you may encounter the phone not powering up
when you press the power button, don't panic just go
to bootloader mode (press rec + pwr) and run the SAP
1.3.7.8

3. Install Qtek 1.5

4. Run SPVUnlock2 (get it from Quick Downloads) on
canary mode if you want to get the unlocking code. Be
sure to quit WCESCOMM.exe on Task Manager (PC) Insert
non-smart SIM, enter unlocking code, restart.

You have now an openline phone plus a better ROM.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My observation:

in order to unlock your smartphone, you have to downgrade bootloader. qtek rom carries the lowest bootloader version.

smart rom 1.7(smart amazing default rom version, bootleader 1.0.9)
in order to get the lowest bootloader(which unlocking/openlining your phone is possible). downgrade to smart rom 1.6, 12 minutes
smart rom 1.3, 12 minutes
install qtek 7070(boot loader of 1.0.7), 12 minutes
then spvunlock. a few seconds


2nd approach(<1 minute)

download handyspvutility

i just have recently discovered this utility this month of july from http://www.airfagev.com

handyspv utility has a "downgrade bootloader to 0.93"

with this functionality, i perform downgrade bootloader to 0.93, then run spvunlock

downgrade boot loader, only took 2 seconds

then unlock takes only a mere 5 seconds something

the whole unlocking procedure is less than a minute

whereas on my first attempt in unlocking my own cellphone, it took something 40 minutes something.


The advantage of second approach in unlocking is that you don't have to change rom, smart rom is intact, your contacts won't be erase. the only procedure need to do is downgrade bootloader to 0.93, then unlocking will be possible.

My two brothers also have smartphones.

13 minutes:
the first one i first experimented the handyspv: downgrading to 0.93 bootloader, change smart rom to qtek rom, run spvunlock.

1 minute:
to my second brother, i experimented to just downgrade to 0.93 bootloader, then just directly run spvunlock. it took all in all, less than a minute. one good thing about this approach, smart rom is still intact, nothing is erased, yet he can insert any kind of sim, globe, sun, etc.
