Release V610

Universal-SIM is a standalone unlocking device that can unlock your mobile phone. It should be used together with your operator simcard and should stay at all times inside the phone.

What's new in version V610:

-          Solved some Universal-SIM stability problems that caused the phone to display insert sim after a while

-          Modified custom presets configuration to fit the NEW PRESETS LAYOUT

o        Please modify all your preset.ini files YOUR OLD PRESETS WON’T WORK!!!

o        Add for each preset ( PRESET_SHOW = "NO") for more detailed info please read the appropriate section of this manual. ( Advanced settings )

 

-          Tested with more than 200 simcards,

-          Modified the way informations from operator card are displayed and the way are read from simcard.

-          Added 3G compatibility detection (usefull for some phones to detect incompatible cards ). If your simcard reads “ Card is compatible with 3G Phones ( MOMO MD-1 )” that means is possible for the card to work with 3G phones but is not  100% guaranteed.  We will try to improve the detection process also in upcoming updates to help you check faster if a simcard is not compatible with 3G phones. ( Samsung P910 / Momo MD-1 and others ).

-          Improved smartcard reader compatibility.

-          Tested on MOMO Design MD 1 and MD 2 phones. ( Please use the MOMO Design setting for this phones. ) A lot of simcards are not compatible with MD1 phones,  In fact from 200+ simcards that we have only few are working  T-Mobile UK some, 3 Hong Kong some, so please use the Read operator card button to check for compatibility ( is not detecting cards 100% yet but we are still working on this ). But be 100% sure if the program will display that is not compatible with 3G phones that means is not compabile for sure.

-          Added SHOW DONE option for each setting and preset. ( Default is DISABLED ) Using this option you can choose to force the Mobile Phone to display an UNLOCK DONE message after unlock operation is completed ( Not applicable for Nokia Default and TESTMODE unlock types ).

 

What's new in version V600:

-          Solved many bugs from previous version

-          Added custom presets configuration. It’s easy now to apply your favorite presets.

-          Tested with more than 180 operator simcards.

-          Added new smartcard reader types. You won’t be required to use only PKEY Vista to perform the update procedure. You can use now serial smartcard readers! ( non ISO )

Universal-SIM needs to be configured in order to work with your mobile phone. For this you must use a card reader. Universal-SIM is tested with Omnikey readers, PKEY readers and with serial readers starting from version V600. To use old software you must use PKEY or Omnikey readers!

Works best with PKEY Vista and compatible serial readers.

PKEY Readers are of 2 types ( NEW ONE AND OLD ONE ).

Here is how the new one looks like ( PKEY Vista ): you can recognize it after the 32 pin chip used – it works under Windows Vista driverless

Here is the old one ( PKEY XP ): you can recognize it after the BIG IC used

For PKEY XP you will need to download the necessary drivers.

Also Universal-SIM is compatible with a wide range of serial readers ( USB to SERIAL ) etc.

Here is one sample reader:

You can see the 3.579545 Mhz Quarz providing a baudrate of 9600 bps required by Universal-SIM !

You might try other USB / Serial readers that look similar with this one.

If you preffer you can solder the 2 pins from Automatic card detection. It will be easyer to detect Universal-SIM this way. Otherwhise you must insert some plastic into the reader to simulate simcard insertion!

ATTENTION! After you have inserted Universal-SIM into the card reader make sure you have no other smartcard readers connected to your computer and then connect the reader to the USB port of your computer.

 

After you have inserted the reader into computer you need to update the card to match the version of update software used.

Check our webpage for updates regularly!

If you are using other readers than OMNIKEY and PKEY READERS, like the one we’ve presented earlier you must check the Update using USB/Serial Smartcard Reader checkbox!

After selecting the reader type press the Update button to update your Universal-SIM first!

It will take few seconds to update your Universal-SIM.


·                 Universal-SIM configuration

 

A.              Normal Mode

 

STEP 1: After we have successfully updated Universal-SIM we select the phone type according to the phone you want to unlock.

Using Universal-SIM as TESTCARD -> Select "Testcard" from phone type menu and apply the settings. This setting is special designed to work with Sony Ericsson phones in order to emulate the testcard.

STEP 2: The next setting is ATR Type. According to our tests Use Card ATR option is the best one. If you have problems with phone recognizing simcard you should try the other ATR settings.

Next you choose the mode you want to use. If you want to do more advanced settings to your Universal-SIM please check the Advanced checkbox and those possible settings will appear. To continue STEP 2 ( Advanced settings ) go to Advanced Settings Page in this manual.

STEP 3: Please take out Universal-SIM from the ISO compatible reader ( PKEY ETC ) and insert ONLY mobile network operator simcard ( your simcard ).

After you’ve inserted the simcard into the reader, if necessary please unplug and then plug your reader back into the USB of the computer.

Make sure the simcard has PIN code disabled !

Press Read operator card button in Universal-SIM software.

Now your simcard settings are automatically learned by Universal-SIM software.

STEP 4:

-          Take OUT operator simcard from the ISO reader

-          Insert Universal-SIM into the ISO reader ( INSERT ONLY UNIVERSAL-SIM, not together with the simcard )

-          Press Apply  Settings button and you are DONE!!

To check the settings are correctly applied use the Read              Settings and Log Button !!


B.              Advanced Mode

 

STEP 1: After we have successfully updated Universal-SIM we select the phone type according to the phone you want to unlock.

Using Universal-SIM as TESTCARD -> Select "Testcard" from phone type menu and apply the settings. This setting is special designed to work with Sony Ericsson phones in order to emulate the testcard.

STEP 2: The next setting is ATR Type. According to our tests Use Card ATR option is the best one. If you have problems with phone recognizing simcard you should try the other ATR settings.

Next you choose the mode you want to use. If you want to do more advanced settings to your Universal-SIM please check the Advanced checkbox and those possible settings will appear. To continue STEP 2 ( Advanced settings ) go to Advanced Settings Page in this manual.

Advanced mode enables you to do more in depth settings to your universal-sim. To activate it check Advanced checkbox and new settings will appear on the right like in the next screenshot.

Speed setting enables you to force the sim card to use a exact baudrate while talking with the phone. he default setting is working for all the sim cards so you don't need to change this. If the phone stops responding you can try to select "Use standard baud rate (~10k)".

IMSI setting helps you select desired IMSI.

The default "Use card IMSI" will work with all card types and most of the phones. For some models you can try to adjust IMSI by yourself selecting "Use CUSTOM IMSI". Here is how:

  1. First 3 characters represent the MCC of the network. To unlock your phone this must be either 001 either the MCC of the network on witch the phone is locked.
  2. Next 2 characters represent the MNC of the network. To unlock your phone this must be either 01 either the MNC of the network on witch the phone is locked.
  3. The rest of the characters should be random number from 0 to 9.
  4. EXAMPLE : 001-01-1121324354
  5. Usually use this setting for Blackberry, AMOI phones!

 

Show Unlock Done setting is a new ( V610 ) implemented setting. It will help you disable / enable SHOW UNLOCK DONE MESSAGE displayed by the phone after each UNLOCK PROCEDURE. This message appears on the Mobile Phone Screen after each successful unlock. ( When you restart the mobile phone ). Sometimes the phone cannot display the message. Works on LG / AMOI / Sony Ericsson Phones and some other.

 

FAKE SEQUENCE tells Universal-SIM how many times to report fake IMSI to the phone. This can be changed depending on the phone model but is not required.

              Usually you don’t have to change this setting. If you have some phone reported working with some competitor card / setting you can use this feature to adjust Universal-SIM to work with that phone. FAKE SEQUENCE field can have maximum 16 characters ( characters must be “1”, “0”, “S” ). “1” means Universal-SIM will report fake IMSI to the mobile phone. “0” means Universal-SIM will report the real IMSI to the mobile phone. “S”  means Universal-SIM will enter SLEEP mode and will continue reporting only real IMSI. So it’s better to write “011100S” than  “01110011111111”.

ATTENTION: Use the Read Settings and log button to check if your settings are correctly applied to Universal-SIM.

ATTENTION: Don’t forget after you select desired settings to select appropriate phone model button, otherwise the settings will not be applied to Universal-SIM.

ATTENTION: If you are experiencing agenda problems with your phone try other unlock type than “Direct Unlock”.

ATTENTION: Please use an unlocked phone when using for the first time your simcard card! You must activate the simcard in an unlocked phone after you BUY IT IN ORDER TO WORK with UNIVERSAL-SIM!!

ATTENTION:  After you applied the setting to the card and your phone is unlocked you need to test if the phone can receive calls. Wait for 30-40 seconds before attempting to call the mobile phone. If you can’t receive calls, you will have to try other settings available for your phone or you will have to try to configure it manually. Read the following information for better understanding of the process.

Unlock type setting is automatically adjusted when you select the phone type. This helps you choose the proper unlocking algorithm for your mobile phone.

Few things to know:

-          TESTCARD unlock type does not unlock your phone. It will only enable you to access phone menu.

-          Most usefull unlock types are: Direct Unlock / Unlock using phone menu / Direct Unlock experimental / Direct Unlock Fast / Direct unlock POLLING

-          Unlock using phone menu unlock type requires additional user intervention and will only work on simcards with STK menu enabled by operator.
