JG For the first method I did the whole code... #pw+217355237576103+7# When I put in the Tesco sim I only entered the numbers of the code 217355237576103 - not the #pw+ at the beginning or the +7# at the end. The phone is new - I bought it in July 2006. PNWS
PNWS, Read all the instructions again. You need to enter ALL of the code. The instructions tell you hou to get the letters and the +. Are you trying to use it in the UK? JG
PNWS, If the last code results in "Error code", try this once. This phone will not work in the UK. Wrong Mhz Band. [bold]Please read ALL of the instructions below before you start.See the "Note:If nothing happens." below.[/bold] Did you check with IMEI: *#06# ,Firmware Version: *#0000# . [bold]Is this correct?[/bold] If you know the risks, try this [bold]ONCE and ONLY ONCE[/bold] and let us know if it works. You have only 3 to 5 tries and then it will be hard locked. After that you will need a cable thing-a-me-jiggy to unlock it. It will still work on your Network so no big loss. #pw+183024400103671+7# Remove sim first,power on the phone. After the phone boots up, press # Press * 3 times fast for (p) \ Press * 4 times fast for (w) IMPORTANT Press * 2 times fast for (+) / and the rest of the code--- [bold]IMPORTANT!![/bold] Verify code before pressing the last #. Pay attention. You only heve about two seconds. [bold]Note:If nothing happens.[/bold] Some Phones require that you to insert a non accepted sim.Insert a non accepted SIM and turn it on. You will see "phone restricted", press UNDO option and enter the code in the restriction box and press ENTER. "Phone restrictions off", it's unlocked. "Error code" wrong code.[bold]STOP[/bold] tell me. "Not allowed" or "Can Not Undo Restriction" it's hard locked. Used up all your free tries!! [bold]DO let us know if this works.[/bold] Help us provide a better service. JG
JG Yes I'm trying to use it in the UK. Haven't tried again but will wait till you reply. Sounds like it won't work in the UK so no point in trying?? PNWS
PNWS, I did reply. The code in my last post is a new code in the event the first code gave error code. After looking at your model I now believe it is a Tri-Band phone. It should work in the UK. Sorry. Looking back: You say that when you entered the code the first time with the SIM removed, the message was "cannot undo restriction". Then you say that when you put in a Tesco SIM and entered the code, it said "code error". Well that does not make sense to me. You must enter the code with the SIM removed. IF there is no responce,ie nothing happens after you enter the last #, then you put in a non accepted SIM. I believe the phone was hardlocked from the beginning. "Can not undo restriction" means it is hard locked. You must have entered some codes before mine. There is no harm in trying again. You cannot re-lock the phone. First code is: #pw+217355237576103+7# Second code is: #pw+183024400103671+7# JG
Hi JG Without SIM card inserted have tried #pw+183024400103671+7# but it still came up with "cannot undo restriction". Any other ideas? PNWS
PNWS, That message means it is hard locked. As I said in my last post, I think it was herd locked from the start. You will need to get someone with the equipment to unlock it. On Aug 18 you said: "cannot undo restriction" means hard locked. Too many wrong tries. I know for sure that one of the codes I gave you was the correct code. The new phones use a different setting. Sorry I could not help you. JG
