Security Codes

kmart6

Does anybody know if you need to contact your mobile operator to get this???

Not for security codes.
They are set by you on your phone, or if you havent't changed them, they are factory set.
Number all depends on phone make etc

kmart6

And how do you find these out???

wolfman

Well what phone is it? Give me a bit of help here or describe your problem and I'll try help you out

The default security cod on most phones is either one of these -1234/12345/0000/00000. Most popular is usually 12345

If it is none of these then it has been changed by some one and can only be got rid of by reprogramming the phone ie resetting the security code to the default.

In my case, Vodafone sent me to Nokia and Nokia sent me to a phone shop. Call into a Vodafone shop, Carfone warehouse, or one of those places and they should be able to sort it for you.

I'm not sure if the unlock requires completely reflashing your phone or not though (i.e. erasing it and setting it back to defaults).

People keep mentioning some place on Dawson St too I think, though I'm not 100% sure...

Hi,

ciaranfo - Just so you know, the firmware cannot be updated unless you know your security code

The phone can be unlocked with the same cable which updates your firmware theothernt, at least this is what I've been told by a number of people.

For Nokia phones try Logomanager it reads the security code of the phone.
I used with irda but should work with a data cable aswell.

Do you have a link for that Flankerb ?

Bah, this stuff be costing money

wolfman

What exactly are you trying to so? Unlock your phone from the network? Flash it with unbranded s/w? Or reset your security code?

No problem

Hi,

ciaranfo - When I had my 6630's firmware updated, they required the security code before hand. And, funnily enough, I gave them the wrong one initally so they couldn't upgrade it

In relation to logo manager, it used to be able to read older Series 30's security codes (eg. Nokia 8210) - haven't tried it with newer models

I've been told by both Nokia and Vodafone that I can get it done it a Vodafone shop.

Flankerb

I had a security code on an old 6210 couldnt remember it. Downloaded a demo version and it was able to read the security code. Only for this software I would have to have left it into a shop to get it repaired and that would have cost money. This thread was about security codes here is a handy way of getting them.

wolfman

Logomanager WON'T read new phones.
Only older dct3 phones and some dct4 like 8310's

Hi,

wolfman - Thanks for confirming that

ciaranfo - Regardless of what Vodafone or Nokia say, all the Vodafone stores that I know of mostly just sell phones and provide minimal tech support. Any firmward updates are done by the people with the equipment (ie. no a Vodafone store) and if your phone needs to be repaired, it's sent to a 3rd party - as I found out recently

- Neil

almost all phones that are repaired are sent to the MPRC - Mobile Phone Repair Company, in the sandyford industrial estate. If you ever need your phone fixed in a hurry just drop it in yourself, they usually have it done for you in about 2 days. if you need to call them, there numbers is: 01-295 0907

If your phone is a nokia series 60 phone 6630/7650 just do a deep reset (*#7370#) and it resets all codes back to factory settings...... terrible security loop hole.
