Check before you flash

The UnsharedSHOP homepage validator talks to KVChecker.com style checks so you can inspect a kv.bin or a multi-KV ZIP without installing desktop tools. Use it on files you already own, seller samples you trust, or purchases sitting in My Files.

How to run a check

  1. Open unshared.shop → Validator.
  2. Upload a single 16 KB KV or a ZIP that contains one or more KV files.
  3. Wait for the live check (often 60–90 seconds). Do not refresh mid-request.
  4. Read ban status, serial, partner hits, and any sharing summary on the result card.
ZIP packs: 2 / 3 / 7 key products are archives. The validator walks safe 16,384-byte entries and returns a per-KV report when more than one file is present. See ZIP packs & partner sharing for the API shape of the same data.

Reading the result

  • Unbanned / Banned / Unknown — Live-oriented status from the checker pipeline.
  • Partner checks — Networks such as Cipher, xbGuard, or Nfinite. first_seen = null with checked: true usually means scanned and clear on that partner.
  • Sharing flags — Distinguish UnsharedSHOP’s own check log from partner “seen” dates.
  • Signed verify links — When present, keep the link if you need to prove the exact result later.

Automating the same check

Integrators can call POST https://api.unshared.shop/api/?action=validate with the file body, or validate_url when the KV is already hosted. Wrappers for PHP, C#, and Python are documented on this blog.

Good habits

  • Validate new purchases before opening NAND tools.
  • Re-check after you extract a KV from a dump — confirm you grabbed the block you think you did.
  • Do not upload other people’s private dumps to random third-party sites; prefer the shop validator or your own API token flow.
Need a file from an order? Open My Files then drag it into the validator.
