I need nat & redirect capabilities, but i can't flash a unsigned kernel (simlocked phone).
Can nat & redirect support be compiled as a kernel modules to load them later with open sudo ?

Unfortunately no, as they depend on certain kernel options being set on the kernel at compile time.

I did not know that N9 was ever sold as simlocked. Have you asked your operator to remove the simlock, I think they are obliged to do that (even though they might charge 10 euros for it...)

How about wiping the device with "--erase-user-data=secure" as that might also clear the simlock?

Uhhh!, ****.
I'm waiting for request to my operator the unlock code for free, and then going to try wiping too.

Thanks!.

Some users on the NITDroid forums report that even though their phones were unlocked (through a shady unlocking service or officially through the carrier), it refuses to flash unsigned images and bombs out. This may be a bug that will never be fixed

If you use search in the forum you can find howto bruteforce the simlocked N9 (Although you should just ask the unlock code from your operator, as that is easier).

When sailfish's image from n9 came out, some users with a branded n9 successfully flashed a non signed kernel.
It seems like some hw. rev. can do it and others dont.

If the bruteforce is about disconnecting the cable in the middle of the flashing. I tested it and nope.

After reading (a lot) about this:
I have little hope with the unlock code from the operator. It's only seems to change the LOCK STATE of the simlock, but the issue with unsigned images persists.

Here http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f609...nlock-1558823/, talks about "..For SL3 Phones unlocked via LBF or Code, you can only change the LOCK STATE
and you cannot change the Simlock Table like SL1 and SL2 phones..."

My two hopes:
* "...There is a way to flash Custom Firmware (android etc) to simlocked N9, but it is not
covered by ATF Software...." still not found

*2ndboot
i have not the skills to do it myself yet.
(even still can't get a working scratchbox. arggggh!)

So did you already ask for the lock code from your operator and try it, or are you only thinking it might not work since you read the above information?

I don't know anything about this, except that of course there's at least two ways of doing that, but both of those would require access to external HW equipment to do it...

This has nothing to do with N9 and cannot help you if you cannot flash the device with non-signed kernel; how are you planning to get the 2ndboot kernel into use if unable to flash it?

hmmh, just thought of something, if you cannot flash an unsigned image, how about loading an unsigned image and jumpstarting it?
Of course that means that every time you want to boot the device, you'd need to jumpstart it again

That's how life was like for Motorola device owners with locked bootloaders pre-"security audit".

2ndboot was interesting, if only because it was a very fun hack. Once Android was rooted, as root you could load modules, and kernel modules can execute kernel code

It then manually reset all devices to known states, threw a prayer and called kexec()!

Ah that one!

I did not remember it yesterday but I actually started tinkering with that when it lookd like I had hit the wall with ubiboot back in -13...

Turned round it was not needed after all.
