Bug in 3230 prevents unlocking?

[GeeZuZz]

I have had 2 occurences where 3230 is not possible to unlock using codes.

When entering the code it just returns to "Insert sim" instantly after last # is entered. It does not say "Code error" or "Sim-restriction off" like it should say.

Does anyone know what can cause this? Pretty weired...

Hi there

Ok that problem you have usely happens on the fone that have firmware version with provider blendings

wat i mean with this is tha it has happened to me to only with Vodafone cause the phone software has bean altered just for Vodefone and does nor surport Remote Unlocking
to get it to work neads to be Flashed with new firmware
and that happens to on Nokia 6600 contract fones in some countrys

Hello,

That can't be the reason, because 99% of the phones from that operator does work to unlock with code. It has just happened with two pcs which does not work...

And the firmware is not branded - the only signs of the operator is that WAP/MMS settings were preinstalled.

Sorry
but the case here in the country that i live in it has started to be fixed blockage
and to get the fone working or unlocked only Flashing does the job

i attened a Nokia Semanar a few weeks ago
and the new gen fone from nokia are going to be Locked for good and will not be able to be unlocked in any way
wat i mean is the nokia is going to pre program a chip in the fone that is goining to lock the fon to only the alowed Provider
