Question regarding 6630 Flash Upgrade.

[E.TeRaS]

Hello all, great forum here for users with Symbian Mobiles, specially 6630 and 6680 users.

You all know that after a 2 or 3 time entering of a unlocking code on a 6630 and its wrong then your phone gets totally locked and you would have to wait for a Flash Box to be released to unlock it.

Well when I first went to get my phone flash upgraded, the nokia service man said that it would be relocked by my service provider when he will flash it.

So does this mean that when you get your phone flashupgraded, does the SimLock Counter reset? and would it allow you to re-enter the unlocking code?

So to put it in shorter words:

Entered wrong code more than 3 times, now the correct code says not allowed "taken from service provider"
Will Flashing the Software reset the SIMLOCK COUNTER?

Thank in advanced to whoever messages.

Nokia has changed their locking algorithm since 6630, it’s some kind of very strong encryption that’s not hacked jet and it means that there is no calculator for BB5 phones.

Only the operators have the necessary algorithms to calculate unlock codes for BB5 models, and the important parts are within a high security smart card that is programmed by Nokia for each different network code.

In conclusion, AFAIK 3rd party unlocking is currently not available, only your operator can provide the necessary unlock code.

Mr E.TeRaS...

are you saying that you had a 6630 that you had locked because you had tried a code too many times and you took it to a Nokia Shop to have it flashed... when the guy in the shop flashed it he fixed it?

if this is the case then when people hard lock the phones after trying a wrong code too many times, all they need to do is flash it with Phoenix and that should fix it... thats what i interpret from the post anyway!!!
