AT+XEMN is a command on baseband 5.11.07 (pushed out with the 3.1 release), which when exploited correctly, causes a heap overflow allowing the crash to be moulded into an injection vector. This injection vector can then be used to inject an unlocking payload to provide a coveted Software SIM Unlock on the official 3.1(.2) firmware running 5.11.07
