Reset Nokia Lock Code without any software

There have been several tutorials and questions on internet that shows how to reset the security locking code of your Nokia Symbian Phones. But honestly speaking, non of the tutorial works. Because, most of them keeps talking about Master Code security code which really does not work in every phone.

The technique behind Master code is that, every phone has unique International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number and with the help of this number, a specific software will calculate your so called master code. This might work in some phone but not always. Because how can you be so sure about that the Master Code generated is the correct one? If it has been the straight right security code then there won’t be any use of security code. Because, Lock codes and master codes are meant for security purpose in case if it’s stolen or lost some where.

Therefore this might not be much practical. The good thing you can do is, contact the authorized service center to have your code reseted. If you don’t want to do that then still you have a choice left. That is, you’ll have to hack the phone. Don’t worry with the term ‘hack’ we’ll do nothing like hacking.
We’ll use a backdoor to reset the security code. This might be illegal, but can be helpful if you badly need it.

Here is how you do it.

First of all download the security code hack patch from here.
Once you have downloaded it extract it with your favorite unzipper.  Now reate a new folder ‘Recogs‘ in your desktop.

Once it has been created, copy the THC-NOKIA-UNLOCK.MDLfile from the extracted file to Recogs folder.

Drag or copy the file to Recogs folder

Now take out the memory card from your Nokia phone and plug it in to you card reader and open it from my computer.

Open your card from my computer

Once you open go to System folder. If it is not there then don’t worry it is hidden folder. To go to System folder, type ‘system‘ next to your card location as shown in the image below (in this tutorial the drive letter for the memory card is H:).

Instantly you’ll be inside system folder.

Once you are inside the system folder copy the Recogs folder from desktop to the system.

Finally when it’s copied, eject your memory card and insert it to your phone which you want to unlock. Once you insert the memory card, it will automatically start the unclocker file and resets the Locking code.

Once it succesfully resets your Locking code, it will prompt a message on white screen with, ‘Press a Key’.
Press any key and your code is rested to 12345. Now you can change it any time.

Thats it, you are done. No need of any electronic device, no need of any data cards no need of any complicated and insecure software and the phone is yours again.

Nokia N9 – Tech Specs and Release Details

Nokia N9 is among the latest gadget in streets currently and the tech specs seems to be cool as it’s Nokia’s first Intel MeeGo based smartphone. It seems that for its latest gem, Nokia really cared about the phone hardware unlike what it used to do with its previous high end phones.

The all new N9 announced last week got really good, in fact best hardware specs as compared to other Nokia high end phones available. But still not upto the mark as it doesn’t even reach near to what current generation phones of other companies are offering. Here is a short discussion what Nokia is offering with its N9.

Nokia N 9 Hardware

Nokia brought 1GHz CPU this time with Cortex A8 CPU, along side it comes with 1GB of RAM. That’s pretty old combo and was blooming last year and this year getting this combo is no brainier. There’s no dual-core antics and the single core is pretty weak, but is good if you look at the OS running on it.

The screen size has been increased a bit i.e 0.4inches and the new player comes with 3.9inch screen with same AMOLED display panel as that of Nokia N8. The display resolution is rapidly increased to 480 x 854 pixels.

Its obviously big in dimensions than N8 and has dimensions of 116.5 in height, 61.2 in width and 12.1 in depth. Wireless connectivity includes 3G support up to 14Mbps, WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP and EDR.

Unlike the N8, its not totally camera featured. This time the camera is reduced to 8 Megapixels which supports resolution of 3264×2448 pixels carried with auto focus as well as LED Flash. Yes, there’s also a secondary camera. Video recording still supports only 720p clippings at 30fps.

Phone is available in two storage option (internal storage) 16GB and 64GB there is no 32GB option and neither facility for installing additional microSD card for extra storage. That means, its iPhone here the internal memory is the final one.

Software

The phone comes with MeeGo OS v1.2  (Harmattan) looks similar to Symbian Anna but still no idea regarding that, time will clear everything.

Multimedia capabilities

The MeeGo OS loaded on N9 supports MP3/WAV/eAAC+/WMA/FLAC for audio playback and MP4/H.264/H.263/WMV player for video playback. Along with that it comes with pre-loaded games like Angry Birds Magic (NFC), Galaxy on Fire 2, Real Golf 2011.

Battery Life

It comes with 1450mAh battery but as we didn’t get the hands-on battery performance we will clear the reports later but as stated by Nokia it provides Up to 380 (2G) and Up to 450h (3G) when on standby and Up to 11h (2G) and Up to 7h (3G) for talktime.

Conclusion

Nokia N9 looks similar to iPod Nano 6G, yes that’s small actually. Buying the phone right now won’t make any extra ordinary decision. The phone has old hardware which I used to review last year, even the camera is low and supports only 720p recordings. The storage options are really bad, 32GB was must option to be added. Plus its not going to hit India soon and only supports micro SIM card.

The JAMES BOND Trick

If you short-circuit theleft middle and right pins on the bottom of the phone with all touching each other, the connections nokia software hangs! The profile "Headset" will be activated.

Before you do this just activate the "Automatic Answer" in the headset profile and set the ringing volume to "Mute".

Now you can use your phone for checking out what people are talking about in a room. Just place it under a table in a room and call it.

The phone receives the call without ringing and you can listen to what people are saying.
