I have good luck with this trick on several Sony Ericssons (including W800i and now K800/K800i):
edit ABDeviceCommandSets.plist in the /Applications/Address\ Book.app/Contents/Resources/Telephony.bundle/Contents/Resources/ directory with the editor of your choice
find K700 and create an identical line underneath it, replacing K700 on the new line with your (hopefully compatible) model number; in my case I added two lines, one for K800 and one for K800i, just to be sure
In early May 2007 something amazing happened. Hollywood’s most guarded secret, the key to decrypt HD-DVDs, was found and released on the Internet, via the site digg.com. At first Kevin Rose, the Digg founder, felt pressured by Hollywood lawyers to take down the key, but this made Digg users go completely ballistic, and in the end Kevin posted the code himself saying something to the sort of “this may be the end for us, but at least we went down fighting” (see original post). The key in hex, in case you wonder, is:
09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0
Even the iphone didn’t generate this much attention, the blogsphere was flooded with reactions from the two factions: “digg surrenders to mob” and “the truth will not be silenced”. I’m afraid I, with most techies and new media people, belong with the last group that thinks DRM is the Next Big Evil.
People went out of their way to spread the code, to the point of creating songs. The first song wasn’t really that good, but then Geoff Smith created a song called “Digg the Code” that Cali Lewis of the GeekBrief.tv podcast put video on…. What can I say, it’s awesome:
There are currently more occurences of this “secret code” on the net than there are HD-DVD players in the world.
I’m a slow reader, but I’ve found a way to catch-up: podcasts.
Of the podcasts I’ve listened to recently, these two were really interesting. Both were from the excellent IT Conversations and they talk about how these very successful startups came about. The John Newton one also talks a lot about open source business models in an industry that’s quite dear to me: content management.
