KoTiX S160 ROM UNLOCK INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid sharing of my hard work, i added a security check in the ROM.
To unlock the security check in my ROM please provide me your unit model number (M***).
To know it simply go in Settings->System information screen on your unit.
In the picture you can see it’s a M171 model.
Once you tell me your model number i'll send you a file with the unclock code that you will need to add in the folder WINCACFG on sdcard before flashing the rom.
If you try to run the rom without the unlock file or with the wrong code you will see a picture like this:
