There are softwares you can download from www.motounlocknow.com, what
it does is to read some info via USB cable from the phone, send it to its
server, and paid users get the unlock code back from the server. No special
hardware or "clip" needed, so sounds like it's generating the unlock code
rather than patching the firmware.

It comes with drivers that the phone will show up in the Device Manager as
"Motorola USB Device" and "Motorola Flash Interface". My question is, is it
possible to read/write the phone's flash image through the driver just like
read/write normal software? (I know very little about embedded programming).
It looks reading is no problem, writing may be not. But still, if we can read
and dump the firmware, it should be possible to crack the unlocking algorithm
the same way as finding a license number. After all, this seems to be what
those "unlock servers" do. Then why hasn't someone done it and put it for
free on the web? Considering the HUGE number of free PC software cracks,
this is odd.
