I am working on a script for an online unlocking service (a freebie to add on to my already free sim card site) and along with the algorythm I have from the net I need four values for the calculation.

The values are imei, asic, net and box.

I know that imei is the phone's serial number and susecpt that asic is the lock type and net is the network code for the operator (please correct me on any of these if I am wrong), but what is box???

I need to know as I need to set up fields for a user to input this information to generate their own codes to unlock their phones. The idea is that then they can unlock their phone (if DCT2,3 or 4 as I have those algorythms) and use their free sim card with it, for free.

Anyone able to advise on these please?

Thanks

The box relates to the original dongle that was cracked to obtain the unlock codes - the theory being that there are 2000 (potential) boxes available, each producing different codes. However, as Nokia becomes aware of which boxes are cracked, they try to ensure later software does not work on those cracked boxes.

There is an informative section on unlockme about this.
