I am starting this topic as usual after testing by myself (and as usual on my friend's device )... This is NOT like unlocking a modem using code or flashing.. This trick was posted by some nice guys in some-other forum and I am just sharing here after trying myself.. As usual all credits goes to them and am sure, I don't deserve +1 for this topic also... As usual I am posting the source(s) and video demo also... The Tera-Com modem is actually UnLocked in real... It is the "BSNL 3G.exe" dialler which is locked and it closes itself when it finds Non-BSNL SIM... To overcome this we have the following two options:- 1) Make the Dialer to behave itself using a registry tweak either manual or auto by reg file (1b) 2) Use original Dialer of that Modem Solution 1 (a) :- Open Regedit.exe (Press WinKey + R and type regedit)... Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE--->SOFTWARE--->Linktop3G and double-click the key "Engineer" and change it to 0 from 1 .. Now your BSNL dialer will behave itself and accepts all SIMs and never closes... Just add new profiles for the particular SIM and use it... The only problem here is "THE NETWORK always shows as BSNL" though the modem actually catches the network of the SIM... Solution 1 ( :- The same process above can be automated by a .reg file.. Just download this bsnl3g-fix.reg.txt file and remove the .txt extension (I am NOT allowed to upload this type of file).. Just double-click it one and the Engineer Key is reset and you can enjoy TeraCom modem using SIMs of all networks... Solution 2 :- Download this dialer Another Teracom Dialler U302.exe and install it.. It will itself reset the Engineer key and you can use both BSNL dialer or this dialer to connect... EDIT:- Adding two new ideas below... P.S. :- Tough this trick will just unlock the Modem usage on single computer, it has one good advantage... Once this patch is applied, you can use any BSNL tera-com modem in your computer then, as dialer in the comp was patched... Better Idea to use it in any computer is just use a microSD card on the TeraCom SD slot and copy the .reg and new dialer apps on it... When need arises to use this data card in new computer, just use the patch on the microSD card... Again tried and tested by me... Thanks... Video Demo Here Source Link 1 Source Link 2

AIO-Root (All In One Root) is the simplest root method I found on net (another one is doing the same process manually without using script/batch file) and I have tried this on my friend's Photon after reading all the 20+ pages (now 30) of user comments on the XDA and ACS forum... Mine was already rooted when I bought and so if there are any few questions, I can answer from what I remember, but can't try it now... Source is also given below with video demo explaining the process... All the credits goes to the original contributors (who are soo selfish-less [edgan and shabbypenguin] that they allowed to use this in any-form even without giving any credit to them) and I am just posting (after testing) in our forum and hence I think, I DON'T deserve any +1 for this post... Please try and reply here if there are some issues and I may help you (not by testing this time)... Step by Step process:- 0) Download and extract the zip file Photon-4G-OCR-2.0.zip to say "C:\Root" or any folder you like... 1) First install the req drivers on your PC either 32-bit 32bit driver.zip or 64-bit 64bit driver.zip 2) Restart your PC (This step if avoided has bought issues for few [NOT all] as I read from XDA posts) 3) Set "USB debugging" to ON Home-->Settings-->Applications-->Development-->USB debugging (Keep the check-box checked) 4) Connect Photon to PC using the microUSB original cable came with box and select "CHARGING ONLY" on phone-notification 5) Now run (double-click) the batch file "root.bat" from the "C:\Root" or the extracted folder in step-0 Screen will change colours after every step was executed, don't panic... All will be fine... Follow the on-screen instructions and your photon may restart twice (as per the process) and finally will be rooted... Upgrade the super-user by ChainsDD from AM (NOT a must) Please reply if any doubts, I will help... Source 1:- Click HERE ACS Forum Source 2:- Click HERE XDA Video Demonstration :- Click

Here is the simple guide how to root Motorola Droid 2/Droid 2 global/Droid x/Droid X 2/Droid Pro Download Latest Motorola drivers here. Install the drivers.

Mobile network cracked by hackers Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/8233748/Mobile-network-cracked-by-hackers.html Reported on 03 January 2011, by Matt Warman, Consumer Technology Editor, The Telegraph, UK Simple technology can be used to eavesdrop on the network used for most mobile phone calls and texts, security researchers have shown Security researchers have shown that the network used to make 80 per cent of the world’s phone calls is vulnerable to hacking, building on work demonstrated in previous years. Karsten Nohl and Sylvain Munaut demonstrated their “toolkit” at the Chaos Computer Club Congress (CCC) in Berlin. They showed off an "end-to-end" hack, from identifying a phone to stealing its data, which completes work they showed last year indicating that it was easy to crack the GSM network’s security codes. Simon Bransfield-Garth, chief executive of mobile phone security firm Cellcrypt, said that "Businesses must plan now for the eventuality that their mobile voice calls will come under increasing attack. A ‘policy of hope’ towards mobile phone security is not adequate." He said that voice services should be treated with the same caution as emails. Most mobile phone calls worldwide are made using the GSM standard. GSM calls are protected by a 22-year-old encryption algorithm, known as A5/1. The algorithm, which was first cracked in 1999, is designed to prevent mobile phone calls from being intercepted by eavesdroppers. It works by forcing mobile phones and base stations to continually change frequencies. A typical phone conversation changes frequencies around 60 times. The GSM Association has had a stronger algorithm, called A5/3, available since 2007 but few mobile network providers have made the upgrade. Although the pair are not publishing every step of their work, Mr Nohl also said that it would be easy for an amateur to emulate. According to analysts, it raises the prospect of hackers targeting wealthy individuals. Stan Schatt, of ABI Research, added, that “Effective email security has become routine but our research shows most businesses do not apply anything like the same level of robust security to cell phone calls. Those that do not respond are exposing themselves to attack". The methods used rely on taking a phone and swapping its basic software to a new version. Mr Nohl told BBC News, "We used the cheap Motorola telephones because a description of their firmware leaked to the internet.” This allowed hackers to adapt it to reveal all data broadcast. GSM’s encryption system can be defeated using a key, called a rainbow table, generated by Mr Nohl’s other work. The GSMA, which represents operators and phone makers, estimates that there are more than five billion GSM mobiles in use around the world. It has not responded to requests for comment about the research, but last year they said that although Mr Nohl’s research made it theoretically possible to eavesdrop on a call, in practice such eavesdropping would be unlikely. Mr Nohl said that commercial equipment to spy on calls currently cost upwards of £35,000. The kit demonstrated at the Berlin event cost far less than that, he told the BBC. For instance, the Motorola phones used to grab data cost only 10 euros (£9) each. Mr Nohl added the motivation for carrying out the research was to create awareness around the problem and perhaps prompt operators to improve security. A few simple steps could make it much harder for eavesdroppers, he said. "Raising their awareness is the most likely outcome, but the technical changes would be better."

Finally successful in modifying win 7 64 bit drivers for pal pre/pre plus users. just update generic driver with this file and all is well. Just press the thanks button if it helps as i wasted my 2 full nights in this research. passthru-drivers.zip
