So who needs a Motorola phone broken into?

[stilly]

I bought a Motorola Rival A455 on Ebay becauswe it was in excellent-mint cond and locked.

They did not know the PW to unlock it and they just got a new phone and set this one aside.

Years later?? They sold it. To me.

So I tried to brute force it (stalling) and yeah, it had a keypad lock and I could have chosen 4-7 digits.

Anyways, does not matter.
What DOES matter is that there is a badass program called CDMA Workshop and it was written to destroy phones like this. Within seconds of loading the drivers and plugging the phone in and running the program, it told me the 4 digit lock code and ya know what? It worked.

So now I have a cool phone that I paid $16 or so dollars for and I have the ability to do a LOT of cool things to a LOT of cool phones.

So if any of you did not know about this program, It is called CDMA WORKSHOP and it works well.

And before you start bagging, I also have a Nokia i3589 that I hold rather dearly so don't be thinking I give a **** about your android or crapple 7...

I remember pulling an unlock code, I believe it was via an application that would let you browse the SK4g data file.

Ya know what I DO not get. These utilities used to be all over the place back in the day. I remember getting all kinds of cool things, but today those sites still exist, but all of their damn links are giving out 404 errors... Kinda sucks. Now I find the need to pool all of my phone stuff into a pile and keep it handy.

And sadly, I know that 2021 is approaching and will be upon us faster than we think and damn, I might have to toss all of my CDMA phones since they do not do 4g LTE... I do not want a ****ing smart phone... I want an old cool phone that does not cost a lot of money.
