Q. What is a Phone Lock?
Answer:
From Nokia's webpage:
"The Phone Lock prevents your phone data
from being accessed if Your phone is
stolen.
"The lock code is a number that prevents
unauthorized persons from Using your
phone. These control codes are for your
protection."
What is
THE-NOKIA-UNLOCK:
The program exploits a design flaw in
the nokia mobile phones to remove The
Phone Lock protection. The program was
tested on Nokia 6630 and Nokia 6680. The
program
Should work on any other Symbian based
mobile phones (including Sony Ericson
and all modern nokia phones and many
others). This tool does not remove the
sim-lock.
How to use:
You need two mobile phones.
1) Do _not_ turn off the mobile phone!
2) Remove the Memory Card (MMC) from the
locked phone and put it into a second
mobile. Install FExplorer on the second
mobile phone. Create the directory
E:\System\Recogs and copy the-nokia-unlock.mdl
into this directory.
3) Remove the Memory Card and place it
into the locked phone. The
THE-NOKIA-UNLOCK program should start
after 120 seconds.
4) Remove the battery. Remove the MMC.
Put the battery back and restart. The
Phone Lock has been reset to "12345".
Why does
this work?
The Phone
Lock disables the key pad, Bluetooth and
the USB port. This makes it impossible
to access the data stored on the device
without knowing the correct code.
Nevertheless the MMC is not disabled.
Nokia's OS has a lot of undocumented
features. One of them are 'recognizer'
that can be used to execute a program
when the phone boots. A recognizer is
loaded and executed when a drive is
mounted. The MMC is mounted when it is
placed into the mobile phone _even_ when
the phone is locked.
THE-NOKIA-UNLOCK is a recognizer that
implementes yet another undocumented
feature to perform a hard reset (by
software) on the phone.
Note: The same recognizer-autostart
method can be used to quickly install a
backdoor on a locked mobile phone or to
propagate a virus: Get in, Get Out, Get
Away. |
