# Simplified example – do NOT run without understanding

    if dev.ctrl_transfer(0xC0, 0x12, 0, 0, pwd.strip()) == b'\x01':

Note: Real implementation requires reverse engineering the control request codes.


The original GSM Aladdin developer stopped supporting this hardware around 2014. Their website (gsm-aladdin.com) is long defunct. However, some legacy GSM tool resellers (e.g., GsmEasy, China GSM Shop) may keep backup records. Be prepared to provide:

If you have a legitimate copy and the correct password:

If the password is incorrect, the software will display an error (e.g., “Wrong password” or “Dongle not found”).

Based on legacy technician forums (GSMHosting, MobileFiles, GsmForum) and archived READMEs, these passwords have been seen to work:

Warning: Modern virus scanners may flag keygens or password finders for version 2.1.42. Proceed with extreme caution if downloading from untrusted sources.


Version 2.1.42 cannot unlock modern smartphones (Android, iPhone). It was designed for phones like the Nokia 3310, Samsung D500, Sony Ericsson K750i, etc.

Instead of fighting legacy password issues, consider modern replacements:

| Old Tool | Modern Equivalent | Cost | Ease of Use | |----------|------------------|------|--------------| | Aladdin v2 (Nokia BB5) | Infinity Best v2.22 | $120 | Medium | | Aladdin for Samsung | Z3X Samsung Tool Pro | $200 | Easy | | Aladdin for LG | Octopus Box LG | $150 | Easy | | General flashing | Odin (Samsung), SP Flash Tool (Mediatek) | Free | Medium |

Also, many features of Aladdin (SIM unlock, code reset) are now handled by remote unlocking services (e.g., UnlockBase, FreeUnlocks) which cost $2–$10 per phone—cheaper than reviving a dead dongle.


It is legal to recover a password for hardware you own, for the purpose of using that hardware. However, breaking password protection on a dongle you do not own (e.g., borrowed, rented, or stolen) may violate:

Additionally, using Aladdin v2 to unlock phones without carrier permission may violate terms of service but is rarely prosecuted. Using it to change IMEI numbers is illegal in most countries (e.g., UK’s Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006).
