Loading ...Holy crap. How are your soldering skills? I only ask because, the last time I used my soldering iron I accidentally bridged two of my fingers. It's always a surprise how painful melted solder is. Anyway, if you've been waiting for the hardware unlock tutorial then here, feast your eyes; you'll need 20/20 and a steady hand if you want to follow the process.
See that little red line? Well, there's the target of your well-aimed endeavours:
"Scrape away at the trace with something like a multimeter probe. Then solder a very thin wire to it. Be very careful. Only scrape away at that solder mask above that one trace. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BREAK THE TRACE. This is the hardest step in the whole process; the rest is cake. Also solder a wire to the 1.8v line. Connect to wire coming from the trace and the wire coming from the 1.8v to your unlock switch. Be careful, you only get one chance to do this right"
Seriously, get it wrong and you've got yourself a $500+ bricked cellphone. Personally, were it my handset I'd be waiting until there's a decent software unlock version, but if you do give it a try then please, let us know how you get on!
