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.Quote:

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.
If you are planning to use this GDFS script:Quote:

the backup of GDFS was made when I already had this problem, is that important?Quote:

I really wouldn't know how to begin doing this.
If you're offering to do it for me, would it be easy for me to send you the backed up GDFS to edit or is it not that simple?
thanks
If you made the GDFS backup before setting up the user lock code, restoring the GDFS should solve your problem.Quote:

Unfortunately, I think there's no free solution for your problem.
In the instructions to restore GDFS write it's for db2010 and db2020, maybe you wrong?Quote:

However, having spent so much time fussing with it I'd still like to see if I can resolve it, even if attempts end up ruining the phone for good. It's 4 years old and has a faulty keypad so it's probably worthless anyway.
I would require a bit of handholding as I'm not a hacker/code writer/unlocker so appreciate your patience.
BTW the sound quality on the w910i Walkman is :a015 I feel like I've got a brand new pair of ears!
I sold the faulty W300i on eBay for £5. The buyer was delighted with it so he must have found some use for it.
The W910i I bought for £3.20 was a bit scruffy but worked fine and when I got home I sold it for £18!
strange times.
