Please can you help me. I need an unlock code for the following phone if possible. Make/model phone: Nokia 6230i IMEI #: 357098003734186 Country the phone is locked in: Ireland Provider the phone is locked to Vodafone Ireland Thanks
n_1_g Hell of'va name!! You will need a non Non Vodafone SIM with no PIN code. [bold]Please read ALL of the instructions below before you start.See: "Note:If nothing happens." below.[/bold] Did you check with IMEI: *#06# , Firmware Version: *#0000# . Nokia:6230i IMEI:357098003734186 Network:Vodafone Country:Ireland [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+927842241530655+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. [bold] Before you do this, make sure the sim and phone you use does NOT have a Security or PIN CODE. If it does, reset the security code to default (12345) with the original phone. [/bold] Insert a non accepted SIM and turn it on. You will see "phone restricted", select the UNDO option,then enter the "#pw+code" 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
n_1_g Please do not try again until we know what happened. Did you put in a non vodafone sim first? Did you see UNDO? JG
Joe, I tried a non vodafone Sim, enter Pin Code, Code Accepted, Phone restricted - undo, enter restriction code
n_1_g That is the only code I have. Confirm the phone is locked to Vodafone. You put in a non Vodafone sim. You turmed it on. You saw Phone restricted and an UNDO option. You selected the UNDO option and entered the WHOLE code I gave you. #pw+927842241530655+7# You pressed the # key. You pressed the * key three times quickly to get P . You pressed the * key four times to get w. Etc. etc and pressed the # key. JG
Joe I put in a non Vodafone sim. I turmed it on. I saw Phone restricted and an UNDO option. I selected the UNDO option and entered the WHOLE code. #pw+927842241530655+7# I even tried again and nothing. Is there any other way?
n_1_g What do you mean nothing happened? What was the message on the phone after you entered the code a second time? I have heard of ONE 6230 phone that took the code with no sim in when the cade was entered. That's the next step. I do not have another code for you. This code is good. Does the Vodafone sim work in the phone? Have you tried a new sim in the phone? What sim are you trying to use? Is the new sim activated and working? Too harrdd!! JG JG
Joe, When I put the code in it now says cannot undo restriction. I don't have a vodafone sim, the phone belonged to my friend and he gave it to me and I'm trying to put my O2 sim into it. I also tried it with no sim in it and when I put in the code it only gives me an option to 'clear'. You say 6230, this is a 6230i, should that make a difference?
n_1_g That's where your problem is. You got the phone with no sim. You cannot verify it works with a Vodafone sim. You tried to unlock it and failed . You then came to us. The code is correct. Someone has tried to inlock it and entered too many wrong codes. It is now hard-locked. You will need to take it to a phone shop that has the equipment to unlock it. Have a look at this. It is the first Thread on this Forum. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/382376 One solution for a hardlocked phone. http://unlocknokia.byyourcommand.net/viewforum.php?f=16 I have no financial affiliation with this Site. I am acquainted with it and the work they do there. There are many. JG
