Artkast:: Mods : Unlocking Nokia 6800 (or any DCT4 phone) | [Changes] [Calendar] [Search] [Index] |
Step 1: First you need to get the software. The software used is CyborGSM DCT4 it can be found from the link above or from here.
Step 2: Now it is time to get your IMEI number, type in *#06# into your phone or either look under the battery on your phone.
Step 3: Take the IMEI # and input it in the right place in CyberGSM.
Step 4: Now it is time to pick the Type either 2 or 5????? Always select 2 unless your handset is a 7650 or 3650 in which case select 5.
Step 5: Select carrier options and the program will fill in the rest.
Step 6:
Now "Calculate" the code.
It is said to use code #7 first and then if this doesnt work try code #5.
If the unlock code has been entered incorrectly 5 times or more then upon entering in further codes the phone will display "cannot undo restriction" (or "Not Allowed" for Symbian phones - 7650 / 3650 / N-Gage) message instead of "code error". If you see the "cannot undo restriction" or "Not Allowed" message then only a professional unlocker can help you by using an expensive cable soloution!
Step 7: Ok now simply shut down phone and remove sim card (this is the little card under the battery)
Step 8: Now restart the phone and a message saying "insert sim card" will appear. Say to yourself #@$# that.
Step 9: Type in the code #7 and if it works a message will appear right after you press the last "#" saying "SIM Restriction Off".
Step 10:
Ok now its celebrate walk around all k001 like because your NOKIA 6800 is now 1337'
I am not responsible for any damages that may occur while trying the above tutorial. Sorry (Have Fun) :)
2. Lock phone to Operator (Network or Service Provider). If your phone is locked to an operator, you can use any SIM from this operator in your phone. You can switch between contract and prepaid as you wish, but not to a different operator. . 3. Lock phone to CODE (Product Lock or Offer Lock). If your phone is locked to a code, the phone checks a special "password" (GID) on the SIM that must match your phone. Providers often use different passwords for contract and prepaid.
So unlocking is: Removing the locks on the phone so you can use the phone with any compatible SIM Card. Unlocking will allow you to use other service providers' SIM card. For example if you have an ABC GSM phone you can only put in an ABC SIM card, but if you unlock you can put in DEF XYZ, etc.
How can I verify whether my phone is SIM Card Locked? If you place any card other than the one that the phone accepts, then you will get a message such as 'Incorrect Card', 'SIM Card not accepted', 'Enter Special Code', 'Enter NCK' or similar.
So unlocking is tampering with the software? - It can be, most programs to unlock on the internet change some data in the phone software other just make a log and calculate unlock code. You will have to type the unlock code with special code in your phone to unlock it.
Why should I unlock/upgrade my cellphone? First of all we will give the reasons to unlock your cellphone: There are several providers in every country. A provider is a company from which you are using its network to communicate. Of course these providers are not all the same the one is better then the other. And ALSO the one is more expensive then the other. So if you buy cheap phone (that mostly comes with cheap provider because providers give money to make phones cheaper for us, and if the provider isn't that good, think about no network in distant places or in buildings, the provider has to find other way to get customers so they do it with making there mobiles cheaper) and then buy lose SIM card from better provider and you put in that SIM the phone says: 'SIM Card not accepted'.... (we are talking about prepaid phones here!!) Now there is the unlocking part :) When it is unlocked (or not locked, if you have contract your phone will likely not to be locked) you can put ANY SIM Card in it that you want.
