W300i - probably a unique problem

Hi all

I have been scouring the net for some time in search of an answer to this problem and finally decided to ask for help.

I have a W300i with broken 1, 2 and 3 buttons on the keypad.

This wouldn't be a huge problem (it just needs to be able to receive calls and operate as a Walkman) except that the phone lock code contains the number 3.

Is there anything I can do to change/reset the user code? I have tried various de-branding and unlocking techniques to no avail.

Thanks in advance

Did you try XS++ 3.1 ?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion.

I did try XS++ 3.1 ( I think it was 3.1)

It reads the phone as DB2010 and so rather than reset the phone lock code, it reminds me of it.

Use Omnis.

thanks also for the suggestion. I haven't tried Omnis yet. The website suggests that W300 is one of the few handsets unsupported for code reset Phone info | Omnius

I'll give it a try nevertheless.

:( no luck

it seems this phone is cursed and I am doomed to have a Walkman that looks like a phone.

The upside of all this is I now consider myself a Sunday expert at unlocking old Sony Ericsson mobile phones.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

He has already read the code with XS++ but he can't use "3" button. He wants to reset it.

Restore GDFS (if you have GDFS backup before).
Or can restore other GDFS (first must read secure units from phone with script) and then can restore other GDFS (clear GDFS - user lock code is 0000).
If you cann't do that, install Team Viewer and send me PM with ID and Password.
