hard spl unlock not working on my replaced phone...

[mdphoenix]

I don't know why, but I've unlocked two phones, on the same computer, on the same network, with a static IP address. Nothing has changed other than the IMEI. My local user account is the same, my AD account is the same. Everything is the same EXCEPT the phone. Why did it work for me?

Right. We all waited for this 1 person to make the unlocker. Since they are the only one to make it they decided to make some money. If you spent 3 months making something everyone wants wouldn't you charge a little for all your hard work. This wasn't a one night project. Be thankful they gave us 1 free unlock.

while i don't disagree with your statement, i will say that i don't like the way they're making money on it. we get no EULA or ToU to agree to the information that we're sharing with them. for all we know, they're selling all of our information to advertising companies (not saying they are, just saying that it could happen). and then they disguise it as a "donation".
if they would just go ahead and say the unlocker costs $10, i'd happily pay it.

Now say your roommate, wife, brother or anybody else has a Touch Pro 2 and want to unlock at your place, they will not be able too. Plus their never unlocked phone is now blacklisted.

Say you used your laptop to unlock your phone on your network and you have a coworker at work that wants to unlock on your laptop using your companies network. You will not be able to unlock your coworkers phone on your companies network using your laptop and now your companies network and your coworkers phone is flagged/blacklisted.

Technically nobody at your job has unlocked yet, but since you tried to unlock your coworkers phone on your laptop on your companies network, now nobody else in the company will be able to use the network to unlock a phone. Lol Plus your coworker who has never had an unlock performed, his phone is blacklisted and has to contact support to get his IMEI approved.

Once a phone has been unlocked on a computer or network, you have to use a new phone on a new computer on a new network to unlock it. A phone can’t be anywhere near a network that has had an unlock, otherwise they will have to pay or contact support. Lol

It’s a RACKET, but we have no choice. Lol Well you do have a choice, either Pay to play, or don’t pay and can’t play. lol

This is exactly what happened to me, my dad and my brother. I unlocked first, then I tried to unlock my brothers on his laptop on the same internet connection which led to error. Took his phone to my dad's office to try there and it didn't work there. So then I tried to unlock my dad's phone on a completely different computer in the office and his sent up the already unlocked error too! I don't know what they are gathering but it is pretty extensive.

Now my only question is my girlfriend has a tp2 now and I want to unlock it but I am afraid to use her laptop to do it because she has used her laptop on my home network before and I am almost wondering if they are digging so deep into files for "licensing information" that it will say her computer has already unlocked a device.

You better hope that they do charge for their work.

At some point a hobby turns into work and if you're not making anything off of it, you'll probably choose to quit doing it.

So would you rather have custom ROMs even if you have to pay for them or not have any?

So the unlocker sends its ID number to the developer. If someone tries to use it a second time, it gets locked out. So what's the big mystery?

Using a different computer may have worked on some versions of the unlocker but that doesn't mean the program wasn't rewritten so as to keep people from unlimited use. Consider the situation where someone post the program on a website for free downloads. That would make it impossible for the developer to monitize it.

the mystery is that it won't work even if you download another unlocker from another computer.

Here's my solution to the "problem"...go ahead and pay the extra "donation", unlock your second, third, tenth phone then file a dispute with your credit card company or paypal or whatever claiming you never got the item you purchased.

that wouldn't work with paypal because it's filed as a donation
