How to unlock your mobile phone yourself - Detailed guide

Recently my friend's mobile Motorola MPX200 was locked, So we searched for soultion to unlock MPX200, finally we successfully unlocked that mobile but we are faced some problem may be that will cause our mobile to death. So i decied to make a detailed guide's to all.
Requierments to unlock Motorola MPX200mobile:

1. USB connection from your PC to your MPx200.
2. Windows XP (if you use another OS, you may have to hunt down the modem driver for your OS).
3. This software package: Motorola MPx200 SIM unlock kit (5.25MB).
4. Pre-steps: Extract contents of downloaded ZIP file to any folder. In the examples below it assumes you extract to C: \ Mpx200Unlock.

Overview:

1. Install MPX200 modem driver
2. Copy 256k block to a RAW data file
3. Unlock 256k block to a new RAW file (yet maintaining ever important IMEI)
4. File Converting's
5. Install Motorola upgrades unlocked and upload the IMG file to your phone

---

step-by-step procedure :
1.Install MPX200 modem driver:
1.1). Power off the phone.

1.2). Hold the left direction key and hold it, do not release.

1.3). Plug in the USB cable. When you plug in the USB cable, if you watch very carefully, you may see a slight REALLY flash on the phone screen. You may even hear your computer "ding" with the "new hardware" sound.

1.4). Release the left arrow key.

1.5). Windows will pop up a new hardware device wizard window
Click "No, not at this time" and click Next

1.6). Click on "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and click "Next"

1.7). Make sure only the "Include this location ..." is checked and enter the path where you extracted the zip file to. The path entered here must contain the smartfon.inf file. Click "Next"

1.8). When the "Hardware Installation" window comes up, click "Continue Anyway"

1.9). Click Finish to close the wizard.
2. Copy 256k block to a RAW data file:
2.1). Open MPX200_Backup.exe (found in the folder you extracted the zip to.)
2.2). Make sure of 3 things: (1) Select "256kb" (2) Select "RAW" (3) Type in or browse to where you want your backup to be made. I recommend leaving it in C: \ oldsim.raw for the sake of simplicity. After doing those three steps, click (4) the top button on the right.
2.3). When it's finished, you'll get a bunch of garbage on a message, just click OK.
2.4). You can close the MPX200_Backup program (using the X), you're done with it for now.
3. Unlock 256k block to a new RAW file (yet maintaining ever important IMEI) :
3.1). Open the windows command prompt. (start=>Run=>cmd)
3.2). Type in the following commands (Note, this assumes unzip folder was c:\mpx200unlock, and the location of your RAW file is c:\oldsim.raw, you can change to your file location)

• Cd c:\mpx200unlock
• FixIMEI.exe c:\oldsim.raw c:\newsim.raw

4.File converting:

4.1). Now convert the RAW file to BIN file. Type Raw2bin.exe c: \ newsim.raw c: \ newsim.bin

in Command Prompt.
4.2). steps 3 and four look like this



4.3). Now convert BIN file to IMG: MPX200_Backup.exe Open the program again, and click on the BIN-> IMG button. The rest of the settings do not matter.

4.4). A new window will pop up, select the newsim.bin file and click "Open"

4.5). Another window will pop up, in this window type in the file name "newsim.img" and click "Save" then click "OK"

5.Install Motorola upgrades unlocked:

5.1). Note: You must install with v.1.3.0, I have tried with newer versions and it does not work. Only the newer version is available for download on the Motorola site, that's why I included it in the zip.

5.2). Proceed with the setup, this part should be pretty simple. Use all of the default values and keep clicking "Next" until it's finished. When this is installed, click on the "Motorola Mobile Upgrade Wizard" shortcut found on your desktop or your start menu.

5.3). click NEXt for 3 times. You should now be on Step 4. Click Browse. Select "newsim.img" and click "Open" and then click "Next"

5.6). Wait for processing then just click finish. Done!

make sure you have new sim card on phone . Now turn on your mobile it will work !

How to recover from Winsock2 corruption

First of all we should know what does the winsock do for Internet:

---

We can say winsock is a agent between windows operating system and other internet applications such as browser’s,downloadmanager etc.. This is a programming interface and the supporting program that handles input/output requests for Internet applications in a Windows operating system. It's called Winsock because it's an adaptation for Windows of the Berkeley Unix sockets interface. sockets is a particular convention for connecting with and exchanging data between two program processes within the same computer or across a network.

Web browser or other internet apps<=> Winsock.dll<=> Tcp/Ip layers<=> Modem<=> The Internet and destination

Winsock2 Corruption

---

Is your internet connection is too low to comparing others? May be this problem due to winsock corruption! We can’t do all things for the word ‘Maybe’ so first determine is winsock is corrupted or not.

Let see how?

To determine the status of Winsock32, run netdiag /test:winsock command line. If there are any failed, remove corrupted Winsock2.

Start=> Run=> Type cmd hit enter

Now type netdiag/test:winsock and hit the enter. This will make some test to winsock and gives result like passed or failed!If your winsock passes all tests you can determine winsock is not corrupted. Else is any one of the resuls was failed winsock is corrupted.

Recover from Winsock2 corruption

---

To recover from corrupted Winsock2, delete the corrupted registry keys, and then reinstall the TCP/IP protocol.

1. Open regedit by Run dialog.


2. In Registry Editor, locate the following keys, right-click each key, and then click Delete:
   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock
   
   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2


3. When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.

Note Restart the computer after you delete the Winsock keys.

1. After the restart open network connections in your computer and then right click on your network connection and select Properties on that popup menu.


2. Goto network tab and click install


3. Click Protocol, and then click Add.


4. Click Havedisk


5. Type C:\Windows\inf, and then click OK.


6. On the list of available protocols, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click OK.


7. Restart the computer.

Now your winsock has been recoverd! If you have any doupts ask me.
Is now your internet give response correctly????

RapidShare Anti phishing Tech Tutorial

This time, I'm going to go over something that's absolutely rampant on today's warez forums:RapidShare account phishing.

So this is what happens. You're just browsing through your usual favorite forums, downloading as you please, and then suddenly, on one of the topics, someone points out that a post has phishing links, and then a moderator closes it. Well, that's great for them and all, but how about you? How do YOU know it's a phishing link? How do you protect your account in the future when there's no one else to say if it's a phishing link or not?

Fear not!. I have few guides to find whether its a phishing link or gentle link. After you read this guide I can promise will make sure you don't get your account stolen/phished, and I guarantee a 100% success rate. Ok guys now lets war with phishing witch.

So first off. Let's analyze what exactly phishing is. Phishing (pronounced "fishing") is the process by which someone makes a complete visual copy of a website and puts it up on a different server( anyone can access it like a regular website), so that unsuspecting users not paying close attention will input their personal data, which gets sent to the scammer. This is commonly used on banking/credit card/PayPal-like sites, in which someone logs into to what they think is the real site, but their details are sent to the scammer. These people don't suspect anything, because once the scammer has the login credentials, he can have his phished website redirect the person to the real site, and have them automatically logged in using the credentials he just stole. It's an ingenious idea, but is utterly dangerous and very angering to us unsuspecting users. The biggest flaw of RS that scammers exploit is the ability to be logged into an account from multiple computers. I'll explain more as to how this related to RapidShareas we go on.So, now that you know what phishing is, here's the ways you can successfully fight it.

Phishing Techniques:

---

• Social engineering -It is so pervasive that even corporate and government sites are actively informing their users on the issue
  
• Link manipulation -By the way of fake links. (like RapidShare)
  
• Filter evasion -Phishers have used images instead of text to make it harder for anti-phishing filters to detect text commonly used in phishing e-mails
  
• Website forgery- By javascripts shows you to same asorigina website (like RS)

These are the 4 comman way of phishing in internet. Most of the RS accounts get stolen by Link manipulation & WebsiteForgery

To avoid:

---

1. Lock Your Account (Not, Really):

RapidShare recently launched a new safety feature called the Security Lock, which is giving account stealers quite a headache . Essentially, what this does, when you enable it from your online RapidShare account, is lock down your account to unauthorized use. It sends the email account registered to your account a confirmation number, which locks the account. What does this do? This prevents from anyone changing the password/email address, or using your hard earned RapidShare Points. This essentially locks down the ONLINE account (the one you login to through RapidShare.com). If it locks them out, how can you change those details and use your Points? Easy. All you have to do is log in to your account through the web site, click Unlock, and another confirmation code is sent to your email, which allows you to change those details or use your points. My suggestion? Use it! You won't notice a thing when you're downloading, and it's really easy to do!

This will do

* Stops intruders who have compromised your account from changing the password, or the registered email address

* Stops intruders from using up your hard earned RapidShare Points to create themselves a free account

* Intruders cannot Unlock the account themselves without access to your email account (which they of course don't)

* Doesn't stop an intruder who's already compromised your account from blowing through your daily bandwidth.

2. Set Your Account Up To Directly Download:

---

What does this mean? It essentially means that you don't go through the screen that asks you if you'd like to download as a Free or a Premium user. This shows up by default, whether or not you're logged in as a Premium user. You've all seen it, but here's a quick screenshot of what it looks like, just so you know which page I'm talking about:

This is so that you can thank people by downloading a small file (uploaded by them) as a free user to earn them points. As good-natured as it is for you to do that, it poses a security threat. The most common form of roping people into giving away their account details is to use a "Link Protector" to mask their phishing URL so that you don't suspect anything. the so called link-protectors actually don't do shit to stop people from leeching other people's RapidShare links for forum posts. There is nothing stopping me from copying and pasting your links just because you used a "link-protector". Because a phishing site obviously cannot have the same URL as the original site it's phishing, it poses a problem for scammers as to how to get your login details without you suspecting anything. So under the pretense of a "link-protector" the URL of the phishing link is hidden, and it will take you to the Free or Premium download page, at which even if you're logged into RapidShare, clicking the Premium download page will ask you to enter your login/password, just like the official site would do if you weren't logged in. Don't fall for this! So what are my suggestions? First, go into your account settings for RapidShare and enable Direct Download. It's under settings, as shown here:

This eliminates that Free or Premium Download page, and always downloads premium the instant it's clicked. This way you can be sure you're clicking on a genuine RS link because the moment you click on it, it will initiate the download, since you are inititating a direct download. Second, if that page DOES show up, even after turning on Direct Downloading, then something is definately up. Check the URL of the link you clicked on. If it says ANYTHING other than

Code: http://rapidshare.com/files/********/******

Where the *'s are numbers and a file extension, it's a phishing link.

Here's a few visual examples of real and fake links. Fake (These were taken from actual phishing links. Although the URL's are obviously wrong, don't scoff at people for falling for it. The screen they saw at this URL was the exact same as the Free or Premium Download page above. Would you have spotted the difference if you weren't looking at the URL? Source for links: KATZFORUMS Recycle Bin)(Image source katzforum)

Fake links Example

A REAL Genuine RapidShare URL:

If it still shows the screen but it's a genuine RapidShare link, then it's a possibility that you logged out. Log back in. When you log in, RS saves a cookie on your computer to tell the site that you don't need to log in as you've already provided the correct credentials. So your login informaton is saved every time you login into you account. This can be danger so you should logout your account and make sure your cookie is deleted. Now a days many browsers gives option "show cookie" so you can find your rapidshare account cookie whether deleted or not.

This will:

* 100% absolute fool-proof way to avoid being phished

* Makes it even easier to download from RapidShare by removing that intermediate step of having to pick which download type

* If you'd like to thank someone by download a file as a free user, you cannot do that in this scenario. You need to log out of RS first, then download it, and log back in, or go into your settings and uncheck the Direct Download each time you want to thank somebody. It's not quite a bad thing, it's just a lot of steps.

3. Keep an Eye on Your Traffic Logs!

---

RapidShare has given you many tools to watch for abusive activity on your account. One tool is an IP Logger found in "Premium Zone>View Logs", which logs the IP Address of the downloader each time a file was download on your account. So how can this help you? It's all numbers to you, right? Doesn't make sense? Fear not! Essentially, what an IP Address is a household-specific address that identifies your internet connection. It's kind of like a family name that identifies who you are. Each computer has their own IP provided by their ISP. All you have to do is use a free web service to find out what your IP Address is. I personally prefer

www.WhoIS.com

Write that down, and compare it to your traffic log. Each time you see that same number on your log, it means the download came from your computer. If you see an IP that doesn't match the number you wrote down, it can mean one of two things. One, it could mean you downloaded something yourself from a different computer in someone else's house/work. Two, it could also mean somebody has already compromised your account and has been using it to download for themselves. How can you tell the difference? Use the site mentioned above, and paste the unknown person's IP into the box. and click "Lookup IP Address". You'll get a pretty decent explanation as to where the person's IP is based, such as Country/State/City, so if it's at someone's house you know or is at work, you know it was you. If it isn't either and is from some place you know you've never even been too, it means your account has been compromised and is being used. Use that information as well as the information from the IP Lookup to report it to RapidShare for fraudulent
use.

This will

* Another foolproof way to check to make sure you're the only one using your account

* I don't know, I suppose the concept of IP Addresses can be confusing to some people at first? Well, that's it for prevention. Like I said, use all those methods, and I promise your account will be clean and safe.

Do Get Maximum Projection

• Don't Save Cookies Of Any Premium Accounts In Ur Browsers.(that is "save password" in browsers) Because some throjan horse programs can get your browser data's so becarefull
  
• Dont get hurry up to download games! first check url before click on it.this takes few moments.
  
• If the link is look like subdomian's don't use that link.Always keep distance this type of links
  
• If you dont like download managers for downloadings, keep two browsers one for downloading another for browsing.
  
• Every time you finish your downloading dont forget to clear your private browsing

How To Block Bots, Ban IP Addresses With .Htaccess

Got a spambot or scraper constantly showing up in your server
logs? Or maybe there's another site that's leeching all your bandwidth?
Perhaps you just want to ban a user from a certain IP address? In this article,
I'll show you how to use .htaccess to do all of that and
more!

Finding BadBots:

So you've noticed a certain user-agent keeps showing up in your logs, 

but you're not sure what it is, or if you want to ban it? There's a few ways to find out:

Google it: Try a search like this.
Check the User Agent Database.
Head over to Webmaster World and search again or start a new thread.
Once you've determined that the bot is something you want to block, the next step is 
to add it to your .htaccess file.
 
Blocking Bots by using .htaccess:
This example, and all of the following examples, can be placed at the bottom of your .htaccess file. 
If you don't already have a file called .htaccess in your site's root directory, you can create a new one.
   #get rid of the bad bot
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^BadBot
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://go.away/
 
So, what does this code do? It's simple: the above lines tell your webserver to 
check for any bot whose user-agent string starts with "BadBot". When it sees a bot that matches,
 it redirects them to a non-existent site called "go.away".
Now, that's great to start with, but what if you want to block more than one bot?
   #get rid of bad bots
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^BadBot[OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^EvilScraper[OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^FakeUser
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://go.away/
 
The code above shows the same thing as before, but this time I'm blocking 3 different bots. 
Note the "[OR]" option after the first two bot names: this lets the server know there's more in the list.
 
Blocking Bandwidth Leeches:
Say there's a certain forum that's always hotlinking your images, and it's eating up all your bandwidth. 
You could replace the image with something really gross, but in some countries that might get you sued! 
The best way to deal with this problem is simply to block the site, like so:
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*somebadforum\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]
 
This code will return a 403 Forbidden error to anyone trying to hotlink your images on somebadforum.com.
 The end result: users on that site will see a broken image, and your bandwidth is no longer being stolen.
Here's the code for blocking more than one site:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*somebadforum\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*example\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*lastexample\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]
 
If you want to block hotlinking completely, so that no one can hotlink your files, 
take a look at my article on using .htaccess to block hotlinkers.
 
IP address banning with htaccess:
Sometimes you just don't want a certain person (or bot) accessing your website at all.
One simple way to block them is to ban their IP address:
order allow,deny
deny from 192.168.44.201
deny from 224.39.163.12

deny from 172.16.7.92
allow from all
 
The example above shows how to block 3 different IP addresses. 
Sometimes you might want to block a whole range of IP addresses:
order allow,deny
deny from 192.168.
deny from 10.0.0.
allow from all
 
The above code will block any IP address starting with "192.168." or "10.0.0." from accessing your site.
Finally, here's the code to block any specific ISP from getting access:
order allow,deny
deny from some-evil-isp.com
deny from subdomain.another-evil-isp.com
allow from all

	Here's a trick to play Tetris, also known as Klotz on a Siemens S1. Turn the phone on. Enter PIN. Before the telephone has logged in to the your GSM net do the following steps. 1: Choose F 9 (function settings) 2: Choose send own number and push the right button for choose. 3: Push 9 USE 2 as <> , rotate the klotz with 5 and drop with 4. [I have just heard from one of the programmers of the phone that Tetris was in the phone during development, but it was removed before it was produced. Apparently someone has the patent on games in mobile phones and Siemens didn't want to pay the licensing fees. It was either in Menu F-9-9 or it's not there at all.]
