HACK your NOKIA phone : Nokia Secret Codes

So thekeedaguru is back and this time with a bang.

You might not be aware but you can actually HACK your NOKIA phone !!!
These are things not meant for the public... you can do a lot of thingz with these codes.
So as the excitement goes up.... lets not waste time..and get started

I have divided this post into three sections:
A. Beginner Section (Codes that don't cause any harm and any one can use them)
B. Intermediate Section (Codes that might go wrong (a very small probability) and can do a lot of significant things!!!)
C. Advanced Section {the keedaguru section} (Hacks that require you to open your phone... You might just void your warranty !!!)


And as every time..... Note: I am not responsible for any damage caused while using these codes or trying to use them...... This is just cause my lawyer says that someday you might sue me!!!

A.BEGINNER SECTION

These codes will work on 90% of the phones

The codes have to be entered at the main screen(your normal screen where you type phone numbers to call).

1. *#06# Display the IMEI (Standard GSM command, works on all phones).

2. *#0000# Displays your phones software version, 1st Line : Software Version, 2nd Line : Software Release Date, 3rd Line : Compression Type

3. *#9999# Phones software version if *#0000# does not work.

4. *#92702689# or *#war0anty# Displays - 1.Serial Number (IMEI), 2.Date Made (MM/YY ), 3.Purchase Date (MM/YY) You can enter this date only once , 4.Date of last repair (0000 for no repairs), 5.Transfered User Data via Infra Red .
To exit this mode you need to switch your phone off then on again some phones give you the option of pressing OK.

5. *#147# This lets you know who called you last (Only vodofone).

6. *#1471# Last call (Only vodofone) .

7. *#21# This phone code allows you to check the number that "All Calls" are diverted to.

8. *#2640# Displays phone security code in use .

11. *#61# Allows you to check the number that NO REPLY calls are diverted to .

12. *#62# Allows you to check the number that "Divert If Unreachable (no service)" calls are diverted to

13. *#67# Allows you to check the number that "On Busy Calls" are diverted to

14. *#7780# Restore factory settings.

15. *#7760# Manufactures code.

16. *#8110# Software version for the nokia 8110.

17. Press and hold # Lets you switch between lines.

18. 12345 This is the default security code .

B.INTERMEDIATE SECTION

The following codes are for the older 40 series phones

1. *4720# or (*hra0#) Activates Half Rate, Half Rate is 5.6kbit/s and uses half the bandwidth at the cost of call quality. Network operators often activate half rate on overloaded towers during peak times to save costs.You will save in battery life i.e. talk time with this mode on.Almost 30% more battery life.

2. #4720# or (#hra0#) Deactivates Half Rate

3. *3370# or (*efr0#) Activates Enhanced Full Rate, EFT attempts to match wire quality. The calls are 12.2kbit/s and are not supported by all operators. It is compatible with the highest AMR mode.You will loose about 5% on battery life.

4. #3370# or (#efr0#) Deactivates Enhanced Full Rate.

5. *#746085685# or (*#sim0clock#) Display the SIM clock status

Following codes for newer 40 series and 60 series phones alternatively you can try them if they work on your phone.


6. #pw+1234567890+1# Service Provider Lock Status. (use the "*" button to obtain the "p,w" and "+" symbols).

7. #pw+1234567890+2# Network Lock Status. (use the "*" button to obtain the "p,w" and "+" symbols)

8. #pw+1234567890+3# Country Lock Status. (use the "*" button to obtain the "p,w" and "+" symbols).

9. #pw+1234567890+4# SIM Card Lock Status. (use the "*" button to obtain the "p,w" and "+" symbols) .

10. *#67705646# or (*#opr0logo#) Phone code that removes operator logo on 3310 & 3330.

11. *#73# Reset phone timers and game scores.

12. *#746025625# Displays the SIM Clock status, if your phone supports this power saving feature "SIM Clock Stop Allowed", it means you will get the best standby time possible .

13. *#94870345123456789# Deactivate the PWM-Mem.

14. *#7220# or (*#pca0#) Activate the GPRS PCCCH support (Packet Common Control Channel)

15. *#7230# or (*#pcd0#) Deactivate the GPRS PCCCH support

20. *#7780# or (*#rst0#) Reset to factory defaults, confirmation required (also known has a Hard-format), all phone contents will be wiped clean including contacts and smses if they are stored on the phone.

C.ADVANCED SECTION (hmmm lets have some fun)

1 Studying the IMEI number
As you know typing *#06# brings up a 15 digit IMEI number known as INTERNATIONAL MOBILE EQUIPMENT IDENTITY

The format of the code is

XXXXXX XX XXXXXX X
TAC FAC SNR SP

TAC= Type Approval Code
FAC= Final Assembly Code
SNR= Serial number
SP= Spare

Remember that the IMEI number is a unique number.No two phones have the same IMEI number.And the best part ... it cannot be changed by any means(although there are....NEXT POST).
So you need to note down your IMEI no. in case your phone is stolen.


2.Revealing the Headphone and Car-Kit menus

Please note that if you do these next tricks, the new menus can't be erased without restoring the factory default settings. To do these tricks you need to short-circuit the pins on the bottom of the phone next to where you plug in you charger.

1. To activate the "Headset" menu, you need to short-circuit pins "3" and "4". After a short time the word "Headset" will be shown in the display. Menu 3-6 is now enabled.

2. To activate the "Car" menu, you need to short-circuit pins "4" and "5". After a short time the word "Car" will be shown in the display. Menu 3-7 is now enabled.

3. Using your phone for spying.

If you short-circuit the left middle and right pins on the bottom of the phone with all connections touching each other, the Nokia software hangs! The profile "Headset" will be activated. Before you do this just activate the "Automatic Answer" in the headset profile and set the ringing volume to "Mute". Now you can use your phone for checking out what people are talking about in a room. Just place it under a table in a room and call it. The phone receives the call without ringing and you can listen to what people are saying.

4. Network Monitor

There is a hidden menu inside your Nokia phone. If you want to activate it, you'll have to re-program some chips inside of your phone.

1. Check your software version (Refer hack # 2 in the beginner section ). You can only continue if you have v4.33, v4.73 or v5.24.

2. Take apart the phone.

3.De-solder the EEPROM (ATMEL AT 24C64).

4. Read out the data with an EEPROM programmer and save it to a file (Backup).

5. If you have v.33 or v4.73, change the address "03B8" from "00" to "FF".

6.If you have v5.24 then change the address "0378" from "00" to "FF".

7. Write the new data to the EEPROM and solder it back to the phone,

8. Power on your phone and you should have "Netmonitor" enabled.

The Network Monitor gives you the following information.


* Carrier number
* MS RX Level in DBM
* Received signal quality
* MS TX power level
* C1 (Path loss criterion, used for cell selection and reselection). The range is -99 to 99.
*RTL (Radio link timeout).
* Timeslot
* Indication of the transmitter status
* Information on the Network parameters.
*TMSI (Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity).
*Cell identification (Cell ID, Number of cells being used).
*MCC (Mobile country code)
*MCN (Mobile network code)
*LAC (Location area code)
*Ciphering (On/Off)
*Hopping (On/Off)
*DTX (On/Off)
*Discard cell barred information

5. Check SIM LOCK status

This is a detailed explanation of the lock status hacks in the intermediate section.

Note - If you bought your Nokia on UK Vodafone or UK Cellnet you do not need to check this because they both transmit on GSM900, and they don't lock the phones. However if you bought your phone on UK Orange or UK One2one your phone may be blocked. The reason is that they both transmits on GSM1800. To make a call on GSM1800 you need what is known as a "Dual band" phone. A dual band phone is able to transmit on both GSM900 and GSM1800, so they lock the phones so you can't use it with any other network sim card. If you find that your phone is locked you can try different software to unlock it. (we haven't found one that works yet), or you can ask your service provider who will gladly exchange the 10 digit code for about £35.

This is how to check the status of the 4 different locks. Also don't try entering the wrong number, because after 3 times it will block the phone for good.

There are 4 different locks on your Nokia phone.

*COUNTRY-LOCK
*NETWORK-LOCK
*PROVIDER-LOCK
*SIMCARD-LOCK

The code to read out the sim-lock status of your phone is

#PW+(MASTERCODE)+(Y)#

# = DOUBLE-CROSS
W = PRESS "*" THREE TIMES
P = PRESS "*" FOUR TIMES
+ = PRESS "*" TWO TIMES
MASTERCODE = 1234567890
Y = NUMBER 1 TO 4

The master code is a secret code. The code has 10 digits, To read out the sim-lock status you can enter every combination you want!

"Y" Shows the status of the network-lock. Here you can enter a number from "1" to "4". The "4" is for the sim-card lock.



SIM-LOCK CHECKS

* #PW+1234567890+1# = GIVES PROVIDER-LOCK STATUS
* #PW+1234567890+2# = GIVES NETWORK-LOCK STATUS
* #PW+1234567890+3# = GIVES COUNTRY-LOCK STATUS
* #PW+1234567890+4# = GIVES SIM-CARD-LOCK STATUS

6. Unlock your Nokia Phone

And I would like to mention this website I came across GSM Liberty
This website supports mobile unlocking.For eg. Say you bought a phone from a particular operator X. Now X by default has locked your phone so that it cannot be used with other Operators.
This site gives you free unlock code and they claim to be the best at it.
Also they have a very good forum and a very organized and informative support center.
Check the site out.







Voosh!!!
Can't believe I finished this article.When I started it seemed to be a never ending work.....took me 5 hours to compile the list and personally checking every hack....

One lesson to learn : The simplest of things are the most complicated of sorts.

Keep the curiosity alive !!!!

Two hours put into the compilation....finally paid off.

Will see you again.

I am working on a tutorial for NOKIA SECRET CODES yes...there are quite a lot of few....!!!!

Adios

How about hacking into Windows ???

Well as you all know that to change the password of a user in Windows 98/NT/2000/XP we need to know the OLD PASSWORD and then only you are allowed to change it to a new one.

So today I will be teaching you how to change that OLD PASSWORD without even knowing it !!!
Yes !!! We are gonna hack right into windows.

Note: I am not responsible for the usage of this knowledge in any form for any activity. It will be the sole responsibility of the user.

So lets get started....

1.Open Command Prompt in a system which you are already logged in.
Two ways to do this
Select 'Run' from the Start Menu.Type 'cmd' without the quotes.
OR
Go to Start->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt.

2.You will be greeted with a black window where in you can type.

3. Irrespective of the directory you are in ....
Just type 'net user' without the quotes.
A snapshot....(Click the image for a larger view)

4.Press Enter and you will be greeted with the following screen.

Now here we should note...this is the list of users on the computer
The name of the computer is 'AEOS '(can be seen in bold and all caps)

The users are-

Administrator
download
helios3d
thekeedaguru
Guest

We ignore the other users (Help Assistant,Support_388945a0) because these are accounts created for Windows internal purposes.

5.If you are not sure which of the User Accounts hold 'Administrative Prevelliges' and which ones are 'Limited Accounts' ..then just type 'net user ' in the command prompt.
For example to know what type of user is 'thekeedaguru' ... just type
net user thekeedaguru
Press Enter and see the information.

6. OK so let us change the password of 'thekeedaguru' without the knowledge of his previous password :-)
So in this case lets set the password to 'newpassword'
We just type in
net user thekeedaguru newpassword
If you get a 'The Command Completed Successfully' message... wallah!! the password has been changed!!!!

(Click the image for a larger view)


Hmmm and now you know how to hack into windows....

However this method requires you to be logged into the system...But this method is fast and very simple.

Lookout for a tutorial into actual Windows Hacking... i.e. you don't need to know anything...not even logged in...with the help of a CD and a software how you can crack a system ....change passwords...add new users having Admin rights and for the more advanced types I will be teaching you how to edit the Registry without even starting Windows....and you should know that the Registry is the heart of the system...you can make changes which can affect the system in the most worst or the best ways.....

Keedagiri is our religion.
Adios.
