5210.. help!

[lilclaire1234]

My mum had a 5210 and now has a new phone. My dad wanted to put his simcard in her 5210 but he is on Vodaohone and the phone is orange so it wont let him.

Is there any codes i can use of anything i can do?
Without paying as i havent got any money!

erm.. 5210.. i'm 90% certain that it is a DCT3 Nokia phone, so the only way to unlock it is to use datacable, the codes only really work on DCT4 phones.

How do you do it using a data cable??

all of the above phone are DCT 3 and are normally unlocked using a datacable and unlocking software... but you can generate unlocking codes... these aren't as simple as with the DCT-4 phones... u have to generate the codes with a siemens unlocking clip.

These phones are all DCT-4 Nokia phones and can be unlocked using code that can be generated by a DCT-4 Calculator. if you require the codes, download one of the hundreads of different calculators around the net.

i can also generate the codes for you if you PM me your Nokia DCT-4 Phone moddle, IMEI/Serial number and the network its currently locked to.

To get your serial number / IMEI press *#06#

dct-3 is now available to unlock via remotely...

ive seen ppl unlock it for £5, even thou they do dct-4 for free :rolleyes:

pm if interested...

[killinmachine10]

Wot else can a data cable do any way?!

Killin' :fight:

[Vicas]

datacable can:
# flash your mobile (update the firmware)
# add ringtones, screensavers, logos pictures etc.
# unlock the phone
# customise the settings
# backup settings
# transfere settings from one mobile to another.
# sync your mobile with outlook

[WackoJacko]

bearing in mind there are two types of datacable (altho u can now get cables that act as both)

these are:

f/bus and m/bus

an m/bus is the cable you would use with software like logomanager to upload logos and things

an f/bus is the cable you would use to flash your phone (sometimes called a flasher cable)


i might hav got those the wrong way round tho. if i hav, sue me :p

[TURBODIESEL]

almost right wackojacko :D

3 types of nk cable.

1. fbus...used for transfering ringtones and logos and stuff. connects to com port

2. mbus ...used for unlocking and some minor sevicing. connects to com port

3. flasher cable...used for servicing fone, upgrading software, changing language packs. in fact can completely change your fone to a different model in some cases. connects to parallel port.

seen them floating about ebay for around £25... i've seen the standard 9pin serial port ones for as little as £7, thats the combined M/F-bus cables...

[TURBODIESEL]

yep. that sounds about right.
usually about £7 or £8.
probably better getting thye universal mbus cable which has changeable heads to fit all nokias. costs around £15 for cable and 5 dct-3 heads.
