Hi
Ive downloaded locksmiths DCT4 unlocking software and now have the codes to
unlock my 8310 , but can`t input the code into the phone. When I turn it on
it says to enter the code, but it will only let me enter numbers yet the
code starts #pw etc. How do I enter the code, is it just the numbers or does
the #pw mean something else.....sorry to be thick !

Re: Unlocking Nokia 8310, have codes but can`t get it working
#pw+generated number+lock no#
ie:
#pw+1234etc+1# - is LOCK 1
# for the # symbol
* for the p, w etc...
Usually 8310 is unlocked via Lock 1 or 7
It is usually a version 2 dongle.

First remove the Sim.
to get p, w, and +, are all mutilpresses of the star key
Start with code 1, then if needed 7th, and 5th

Hi Steve,
It's been bugging me for a while, but why is the (unofficial) unlocking
process so hit and miss? What exactly has the software done to come up
with seven different codes anyway (or is it more, I can't remember)? and
where does the suggested trial order come from?
Don't get me wrong...I know it works (well, sort of) but I just don't
know *why* it works.
cheers,
Laurence.

?? There aren't 7 different codes, there's one correct code for each of the
7 possible levels of locks, but only the 1st and 7th level ever get used.
The 5th is a master code but doesn't always work.
Those 7 levels of codes generated are the same ones that the networks sell you

Well...that's just pedantry, isn't it Steve? ;o)

Aaah! It all makes sense now.
Actually, the only time I've ever asked a network for an unlock code
(Virgin) they only ever gave me a single code - I suppose they had a
record of which level had been used on that phone.
Next ob question...what are/were the other levels supposed to be for then?

UnlockSMITH's DCT4 Calculator states:
1=MCC+MNC
2=GD1
3=GD2
4=IMSI
5=MCC+MNC+GD1
6=MCC+MNC+GD1+GD2
7=All Locks (Universal - multilock)

The Mole reckoned that:
> Usually 8310 is unlocked via Lock 1 or 7
The lock status depends on the originating network, not the model.
Also, there are only 4 locks. Codes 1, 2, 3, and 4 do locks 1, 2, 3 and 4
respectively. Code 5 does locks 1 and 2 simultaneously, code 6 does 1, 2,
and 3, and code 7 does all 4 locks in one go.
For UK phones, Orange close locks 1 and 2 so use code 5, T-Mobile only use
lock 1, O2 only use lock 1 and Vodafone Live! uses lock 1 and 2 so use code
5.

Indeed, very useful information, thanks. I was holding off trying to
unlock my Nokia 6310i until I knew which code to use..! I want to put an
American PAYG SIM in when I next go there, so now it's all ready :-)

Re: Unlocking Nokia 8310, have codes but can`t get it working
I find 8310 usually unlocks fine on 7
Some other models like 7650 prefer lock 1 and I find that then 7 won't
always work...
It's a bit awkward, as long as codes are right you can try 1, 7 first
usually. 5 is a lower version of 7 IMHO.
7 does every lock - whereas 5 does almost every lock.
Even I don't know 100% always what to use, but 1, then 7 seems to work most
of the time.
- Just make sure you have the right SIM card code
- right IMEI entered
- right dongle type (usually 2).
If nothing works on 1, 2 - STOP - seek advice.

Thanks for this info, that is clearer...
Any joy with Virgin ones though?
