question about unlocking - GSM-Forum

Hi there,

I have a new Nokia 5100 phone that I am having a problem trying to Unlock.

I looked up my operator code for Microcell in Canada (30237)
Then looked up my IMEI # from my phone (351502000088831)

Then I used two different DCT4 code generator programs (DCT4 Calculator v1.0b by EnRox 2003 and Dark DCT4 Calculator v1.07) to get the unlock codes. I selected "ASIC type 2" when getting the codes.

I took my SIM card out, powered on the phone and punched in the code "#pw+xxxxxxxxxxx+1#. This didn't work, so I tried the +7 code. This also did not work. I went back to the DCT4 code generator programs and got the "v2" codes and tried them. First the ... +1 code, then the +7 code.

After that, it said something like Unlock Failed, or "Unable to Unlock" I can't remember exactly. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I read up on this a lot before doing this, maybe I missed something..

Thanks
Scott

here the correct codes
if you have unable to unlock, thsn you have typed in wrong code more than 5 times!!!
you have only 5 tries to unlock with code!
after that unlock only with cable and soft like griffin aso. availlable!!!

Thanks but I guess its too late, I will need to use a cable. Can I use bWinLock to unlock my phone?

I have the DKU-5 USB cable which I have used to load Java Applications and Ringtones etc, can I use this cable to unlock, or do I need to purchase a serial cable?

thanks for the help

with bWinLock you can only read providercode but not unlock!!!
for unlock you need specialbox like griffin or other!!!
or unlock with unlock-clip

griffin box = 600 euros too expensive for me, (phone only worth half that) what is an "unlock clip"
