I purchased a nokia 6600 Orange UK last week. Tried to unlock it using online calculator (code 1,2 and 5) and it gave code error. I left the generation to new griffin.

I have 2 chances left. Anybody please help.

You Should Always Try Code 7 First.

I have 2 chances left. Anybody please help.

I'm having a similar problem (latest Nokia 6600 on Orange, firmware 5.27.0) and none of the codes work. I have tried both Asic 5 and 2, enter 7th code first and 1st code first with various boxkeys (incl. V2, New Griffin, and Original). I'm now looking for a cable/flash solution myself.

So if anyone have successfully unlocked their latest Orange 6600 please let us know how. Others who happen to have one of those phones, I wouldn't bother with calculators unless someone comes up with a decent solution.

Me too, I have just purchased a second hand Nokia 6600 and was locked for Orange, but I want to use my T-mobile.

Download software from http://nokia.nigelcoldwell.co.uk/unlock/, I have tried 3 times, but it did not work.

Any idea would be appreciated.

Regards
Dave

Is this new box serial reported to work because I only have 2 tries left. I unlocked 3 6600's on firmware 4.09.1 with no problem but the fourth on 5.27.0 said code error, on 7,1 and 5, and its on orange. (ive had this many 6600 because ive been returning them due to dead pixels)

Done :) .

I used NokiaFREE 3.20.03 and the new box serial 32835, I used code 5 as normally this unlocks orange (so ive read somewhere). Now its working fine on o2, dont know about other networks though.

Thanks for your help.

Spot the n00b time.

How do you know what firmware is on your Nokia? I thought it might have been menu > Extras > About but not as far as I can see.

Anyone care to advise me on unlocking an Orange UK 6600 to use an O2 Genie sim?

Nobody?

Someone must have done it, c'mon! I'm desparate!

Please? :sad:

Edit: Ok, so I thought I'd take a risk and try it. I read the FAQ about what type of phone I have and it appears 6600 are DCT4 phone. I download the online calculator and put in the IMEI number, the country (UK) and the company (Orange). The calculator picks the phone up as a 6600 NHL-1 which I'm assuming is correct. I get my 7 codes and given that code 5 should be used, I tried it.

'Code Error'

What am I doing wrong? :???:

Hi Eyrey,

I also have Nokia 6600 on firmware 4.09.01 (Orange Network). I will be grateful if you can tell me which code did you actually successful unlocking your mobile.
I have two more attempts left for me. Have tried 7 and it failed and other were some invalid suggested attempts.

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure what a box serial is.

I looked around the FAQ section but it doesn't explain how to use the calculator very well. I really need help with this as I'd rather not spend £20 on unlocking a phone at O2.

to unlock 6600 dont use code 7

code 7 is akways wrong to calc 6600..
i've tried it after enter the 1st code
the first was acepted
the 7th gived error
so if you want to unlock 6600 try only the 1st code
if it was accepted and wont unlock the phone just forget it
at lest for a while
;)
about the box serial
here in portugal some 6600 get only unlocked with box serial
32835.. and others get only unlocked with 33820
just give a try on these to and you will keep 3 shots if itdont work;)
use nokia free last version.. remember 6600 its asic 5
;)
hope hi've been helpfull;)

Erm, kinda.

I used Code 5 (the one that ended with '+5#') and that said code not valid. I decided to stop there cos I wasn't sure what I was at.

As for the box serial, there is nowhere on the calculator that it's mentioned it or you get to put it in which is where my confusion lies.

Someone really needs a better FAQ on here.

To check the firmware on any mobile... just key in *#0000# and it will show you the firmware eg: v 4.09.1

ok so if got it unlocked tell me
:)is allways good to know more ways to unlock the same phone
;)
my information is good
comes from Crux.. nokia free programer
and remember
the current calculatores are based on indear algorithm
so this algorithm is not giving a correct code for lock 7th on 6600
.. maybe 6600 needs a difrent one
;)
but watt i know is that the 1st code generated works
until now to me
;)
but some 6600 need box V2...
and some 6600 need box 32835
.. this is the last time i say on this forum;)
.. or maybe not .. who knows..
but just ask to the moderators... generally Crux information are good:)

Same here, I have 2 chances left and I keep getting different information.

Anyway, I got the firmware, it's V5.27.0, 28/06/04, NHL-10.

Now what's that for? :)

Hi, I have a 6600 V5.27.0 NHL-10, this was locked to orange, but I purchased it as unlocked off ebay but I can't get a signal with my O2 sim, but I tried my dads orange card with no problems.

Could someone help me out here and advise why I can't get an O2 signal even though the phone is unlocked.

Thanks

Hi all,

here in Portugal allready hapens several times that the operators input all the 5 code tries before sail, after that, only a cable solution works. Checkout if they are not doing the same, because as i see almost everybody complains about the same operator!?!?

ninjana

i'm from portugal too.. i think that thoose are rumors..
all the portuguese networks have one option to pay to unlock phone.. if they where doing that it wouldnt be possible to them to unlock your phone by code when you pay for it:)

hi guys,

I have just unlocked my nokia 6600 from tottenham court road, london(10 quids)... so you can try all your five attempts for code and if not successful then get it unlocked by shops over there.

Ok.. so here's what's happened to me.

I bought 2 6600's locked to Hungary's T-Mobile (formerly known as Westel 900) both with firmware version 3.42.1. (One for my mom and one for myself :) )

I upgraded my phone's firmware to 5.27.0.
I tried the codes on my 5.27.0 with boxkey 33820 (V2 codes) without any luck.
I tried 4 codes.. :eek: . so there was one try left.
Then I tried the 1st code with boxkey 33820 (V2 codes) on my mom's fw 3.42.1 and it worked like a charm. :-D

Then I read this thread, about trying to unlock with boxkey 32835.
This was my last try, and the 1st code WORKED.

So in summary for 6600's on Hungary's T-Mobile (Westel 900):
fw 3.42.1 boxkey 33820 1st code
fw 5.27.0 boxkey 32835 1st code

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

OK,

Basically, set the boxid to custom and then type 32835 on NokiaFREE v3.10

Then, use code 1.

Presto itz done!

Tried and tested on my 6600 with latest firmware v5.50.0 (30-12-04)
