How does it work?

In order to use its functions – you have to connect it to the SD card port of your phone. The SD port may be located on the left, right or rear (battery) part of your phone. If your phone has no SD port – you must use Y-cable.

There are 2 operation mode for XTC 2 Clip device:

Important

It may happen that you need to create service files on a PC with no XTC 2 Clip software installed. In this case you can manually create the files for:

• IMEI repair – imei.txt
• Security level change – sf.txt
• CID change – cid.txt

Please note, that unlike mentioned files, SIM lock configuration ‘config.dat’ is a binary file, and you may need to use a hex editor to create it. Therefore it’s recommended that you use an XTC 2 Clip software to create/manage this file.

To modify the phone’s IMEI you need to create a text file called ‘imei.txt’ in the root folder of a XTC 2 Clipdevice disk drive. Once created, put inside a 14 digits of a new IMEI, for example: 12345678901234

To modify the phone’s security level (S-ON/S-OFF) you need to create a text file called ‘sf.txt’ in the root folder of a XTC 2 Clip device disk drive. Once created, put inside a number that corresponds to the desire security level:

• 0 means security OFF (S-OFF)
• 1 means (S-ON level 1)
• 2 means (S-ON level 2)
• 3 means (S-ON level 3, highest)

To modify the phone’s CID you need to create a text file called ‘cid.txt’ in the root folder of a XTC 2 Clip device disk drive. Once created, put inside a 8 symbols of a new CID, for example: HTC__001
