First of all i want to say i really like yall forums, This is my first post and unfortunately i need your help. I purchased this Sony Ericsson W810i from some asian guy as he was walking out of a tmobile store, he had a brand new sidekick in his hand and offered me his w810i for 30 bucks i took it and now i cant use it, it says enter unlock code? how can i get this code?
I'm sorry mate but i must LOL
30 bucks being in what denomination?
Anyway give us more details, does it say enter unlock code when you start it ? That might be a PIN code. Or is it when you put ina SIM or something?
I think since its a W810 we can fix it for free :) unless its CID 50 :(
Anything else? Does the walkman mode work?
when i power it on it goes to start-up menu and it has 2 choices: Start Phone & Music Only, when i select "start phone" a little white screen with a lock on it that says "phone lock code:" appears and above it says Phone Locked.
anything else u need to know?
the phone seems like its in working order nothing wrong with it physically except some cosmetic scratches. So did i get ripped off or is this phone worth my hard earned 30 US dollars?
Nope mate you dint :)
I think the asian most probably forgot to tell you that the phone had a PIN Code request on.
Anyway since one asian ripped you off this one will help yout :p
Download XS++ and connect your phone to it. Then post the log here. Will tell you what we can do after that :)
You need to install the USB flash drivers before you can connect the phone.
Once you've connected the phone, go to the "gdfs" tab and click on "phone lock".
so i need to buy a cable??? all he gave me was the phone and home charger.
Yeah, your gonna need a usb cable. The cheapest option would be to hit up ebay and search for the usb cable for your model.
Once you have that it should be a simple fix with xs++.
alright just purchased 1 on ebay for like 3 bucks
cool matey, just follow justme instructions and if you have doubts post the log before continuing
will do thanx or ya help fellas. Im in the IT Security field so if theres anything I can help yall with be sure to let me know.
it doesnt sound like a PIN given that PIN's are SIM specific. SOunds like the dude had the actual phone lock on that means that you cant use another SIM in it until you find it out. This is handy cos it prevent someone who nicks your phone using theit SIM in it. XS++ reads phone lock codes from w810's as far as I know, just connect using your DCU60 cable
Lol. That Was Funny!
damn been over a week and still no cable im begining to think that the ebay seller ripped me off too.....
i got my cable today and im having problems anyone on the board right now that can help me?
finally got it to work thanx for all yall help :)
Got another question how do i get my w810i to send and recieve MMS on ATT?
