How to reset Nokia Lock Code without any software

Posted by Piscean on 1:12 AM 0 comments



There have been several tutorials and questions on internet that shows how to reset the security locking code of your Nokia Symbian Phones. But honestly speaking, non of the tutorial works. Because, most of them keeps talking about Master Code security code which really does not work in every phone.
The technique behind Master code is that, every phone has unique International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number and with the help of this number, a specific software will calculate your so called master code. This might work in some phone but not always. Because how can you be so sure about that the Master Code generated is the correct one? If it has been the straight right security code then there won’t be any use of security code. Because, Lock codes and master codes are meant for security purpose in case if it’s stolen or lost some where.
Therefore this might not be much practical. The good thing you can do is, contact the authorized service center to have your code reseted. If you don’t want to do that then still you have a choice left. That is, you’ll have to hack the phone. Don’t worry with the term ‘hack’ we’ll do nothing like hacking.
We’ll use a backdoor to reset the security code. This might be illegal, but can be helpful if you badly need it. Here is how you do it.
First of all download the security code hack patch from here. Once you have downloaded it extract it with your favorite unzipper.  Now reate a new folder ‘Recogs‘ in your desktop.

Once it has been created, copy the THC-NOKIA-UNLOCK.MDLfile from the extracted file to Recogs folder.

Drag or copy the file to Recogs folder
Now take out the memory card from your Nokia phone and plug it in to you card reader and open it from my computer.

Open your card from my computer
Once you open go to System folder. If it is not there then don’t worry it is hidden folder. To go to System folder, type ‘system‘ next to your card location as shown in the image below (in this tutorial the drive letter for the memory card is H:).

Instantly you’ll be inside system folder.

The System folder
Once you are inside the system folder copy the Recogs folder from desktop to the system.

Finally when it’s copied, eject your memory card and insert it to your phone which you want to unlock. Once you insert the memory card, it will automatically start the unclocker file and resets the Locking code.
Once it succesfully resets your Locking code, it will prompt a message on white screen with, ‘Press a Key’. Press any key and your code is rested to 12345. Now you can change it any time.
Thats it, you are done. No need of any electronic device, no need of any data cards no need of any complicated and insecure software and the phone is yours again.

Nokia n8 camera review

Posted by Piscean on 7:50 AM 0 comments


Cameras have always had a special place in Nokia phones. Even though they weren't the first ones to come out with a camera phone (Sony Ericsson beat them to it) they heavily advertised the cameras in their phone, as if they were the only ones to have it in their phones. Their first camera phone was the Nokia 7650, which incidentally was also their first Symbian smartphone. It was a simple VGA camera and all you could do with it was point and shoot, not too different from what you could do with the first iPhone, even though it came out five years later.

With the 3650, Nokia brought video recording to mobile phone cameras and this time they were the first ones to do so. It could record videos in QCIF resolution for full 15 seconds because anything more and it would not fit into a 100MB MMS, a feature Nokia was advertising a lot those days.

Several models later, Nokia's first shot at a proper camera phone came with the Nokia 7610. It was the first phone to have a 1 megapixel camera, 11 megapixels less than the camera we are reviewing today. That was in 2004, the same year Nokia announced the 6630, which had an amazing 1.3 megapixel camera.

Meanwhile, Sony Ericsson continued to churn out good camera phones but they hit gold with the K750i, which was widely acclaimed as the best camera phone ever. Not to be outdone, Nokia announced the N90, their first phone to have a 2 megapixel sensor and autofocus mechanism. It was also the first phone to have a Carl Zeiss lens, a renowned name in optics. It had a very interesting folding design and a lot of camera-centric features. Unfortunately, when it came to actual image quality, Sony Ericsson still had a lead over Nokia and they held on to it for a while.

And then one day Nokia dropped a bomb called N95. It was the first phone to have a 5 megapixel camera. The specifications of the phone itself were mind blowing. Sony Ericsson had no answer to that; no one did. The N95 obliterated the competition with its superior image quality. Eventually Sony Ericsson launched the K850 but once again it was beaten by Nokia with its N82, which was their first phone with a xenon flash.

Last year Nokia launched the N86, which was their first 8 megapixel phone. Nokia took a long time to come up with an 8 megapixel phone of its own, but when they did, they did it with style. The N86 had a lot of new features that were new to mobile phone cameras. It had a 28mm wide angle lens, a mechanical shutter and variable aperture, not to mention Carl Zeiss optics. Till today it is regarded as one of the best camera phones, known especially for its low-light shots.

So, why the long history lesson? It's because we feel it is important for the reader to understand that the Nokia N8 has a rich heritage of devices that came before it, which at their time, were some of the best camera phones that money could buy. This isn't the first time that a Nokia handset is vying for the crown of the best camera phone in the market. But is the N8 really good? Can it replicate the success of the N95 or the N82? Don't forget, not all the phones mentioned above were successful. After spending more than a week with it and a few hundred pictures later, we think we know the answer.

Nokia-n9 specs leaked again first meego device

Posted by Piscean on 10:10 AM 0 comments


Now, take this with a huge pinch of rumour salt, but the Nokia N9 has popped up once more with more information on prospective specs.
A Twitter conversation between two authors of Nokia blogs has yielded some surprising (but curiously detailed) specs on the forthcoming Nokia N9, prompting speculation the phone is on its way.
The rumours state that not only will the Nokia N9 have a 4.2-inch OLED screen, but it will also be bringing a 1600mAh battery, and have a 1.2GHz processor.
Next-gen gaming
A dedicated gaming engine will also be able to display 190 polygons per second, which would put it way above any phone on the market at the moment, and well up there with some dedicated consoles.
Other tidbits from the exchange include a 12MP camera with Carl Zeiss Optics and 768MB of RAM - like we said, very much speculation at the moment, but it's possible there might be a grain of truth, despite the sources not being revealed.
We'll keep an eye on Nokia to see if something around Mobile World Congress is announced - but knowing the Finns' strategy, we'll see the first MeeGo phone unveiled at the start of 2011, but not actually get our hands on it until Q4.
