Hi,
I have received now my v1640. The first that i do was a hard reset, and now the v1640 ask for a password with 4 numbers and i dont know which is . Can somebody help me? If i put several times an incorrect password, can i lock the device?
I bought the v1640 by internet and its locked for vodafone uk. My provider is vodafone spain, and i know that the device is provider locked. My problem now is that before of doing the hard reset, i can use the v1640 like a PDA without SIM, but now its impossible to get into the SO because the Phone ask me for a password.
Thanks.
I'd suggest, if you cannot pass the security code, to upgrade for the latest imate rom. You'll end up doing this anyway...
I guess by pressing LIGHT + ON/OFF + RESET your device goes to SERIAL 1.0. Then you can install latest image ROM.
But anyway do a search before doing something..
The only sotware lock on a v1640 without the new rom is the sim lock on the phone.
The fact you can only use it as a pda confirms this.
It must be a password you put on your own sim.
The settings are on the bottom of the phone screen under options.
You have 3 attemps or it will lock.
If you call vodafone they will give you a number to unlock it.
Set a new password and WRITE IT DOWN.
Then set the option to either on or off, as everytime you turn on the phone (change battery etc or flight mode) it will either ask for this number or not.

Hello,
I have problem - When I turn on my BA and field for PIN entering appears I enter my PIN code and click OK and then it does not go further it just still stuck on PIN entering screen. When I put another Sim Card on my phone wich dont have PIN protection its just No Service I have no idea what is going on, please help me.
Edit: some info: I didint checked it on WM2003 because when I bought phone I instantly installed WM6 because I'm buying and resseling phones and this never happened before. I also upgraded radio to 1.15 but still no changes.
The same occurred to me today, my phone freezed while I was typing an e-mail, so I pushed the reset button. After booting (TNT wm6) and pressing the unlock code, my phone freezed.
Sometimes it allows me to enter my pin (4 digits), sometimes I can only enter one or just nothing.
When I tried with another SIM it worked.. I'm at home now and I tried to boot without a SIM, but it still freezes after the unlock code.
I'm thinking of flashing my phone back to the original firmware to check if that solves the problem. The only problem is that I’ll lose all my messages. I don't care much about the Calendar and contacts, since I sync with exchange..
Anyone has a solution other than flashing a new OS?
Phone model: i-mate K-Jam
jupieee i fixed it i just had to downgrade to wm2003 and then enter unlock code. dont know why it didint worked on wm6 and wm5
probably a flash gone bad. or another GSM/3G Band conflict...
Read my thread about no phone/ no service here... some pointers may help
I know how to do
Just use the stick press the reset hole when the screen is made of four color after you have changed the battery.
Hi all,
One of the users in our company has locked himself out of his i780 by forgetting the 4-digit PIN he set on the device (not the SIM PIN).
The problem I have is that it is running one of the older ROM's that did not have the hard reset button combination on it so I cannot reset it at all. It also won't enter bootloader mode using the usual combination (although this may be because of the countdown timer on the device not accepting input).
Anyone got any ideas on what I can do next?
Thanks.

I wonder if you can short certain pins on the flash chip to destroy the checksum and thus cause the device to reset itself - this method was used in the LinkSys WRT54G router and some MP3 players..
did you try reflashing the phone with new firmware? might help since the pin is set on operating system level (afaik), the firmware upgrade is done on bootloader level.

But he can't get into the loader mode, so Mirage is a no-go.. I suppose the phone doesent even connect to ActiveSync, hm? If it would then the official HL1/2 updaters are able to reset the phone into the loader mode and flash it
Correct, I cannot get it into bootloader mode because the usual key combo does not work and activesync refuses to recognise the phone until the PIN is entered so I cannot use Mirage or the official updaters!
Looks like I'll have to send it off to Samsung!
Cheers guys.
try contacting them first by phone and see if they can't help out. otherwise you'll have to wait for a looong time
Yeah, I've sent phones to them before, they do take a while.
They say they need them back to take the lock off so looks like it'll take a while!
Moral of this story: Don't forget that damn PIN!

Doesn't it wipe itself after the 50th attempt?
How old is that version? before Nov2007? Can you post the version number? something like "i780XXHA4"

By Omnia this ok
1. type *7465625*638*# to set
2. type your MCC/MNC code (list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code), e.g.26003 for Polish ORANGE
3. type your new NCK (12345678), then OK
3. type *#7465625 to check your lock
4. type #7465625*638*# and type your NCK (12345678)
5. enjoy.
I have in hand a samsung i780 securty (phone) code locked. it is a WM phone. how to reset phone code? pls need urgent.I know I can hard reset from setting menu but I can not enter main menu at all because of phone code.
if anybody help I will be greatfull!
regards.
If your eboot isn' t really old you can hard reset in this way: keep pressed the green and the red button and turn on the phone.
how can we know what is its boot, unfortunatelly this method is not worked for this phone. any other way.plss help!
I don't understand what is this code, if it's the pin you can't do anything but if it's the lock code by windows mobile i think you can erase it flashing the device (you' ll lose everything)
ok mate! it is phone code. I understood that I should flash the phone because this ROM do not alow hard reset. but I don't know the version of the phone, and what rom to upload. is there any risk to kill the phone with uploading noneproper ROM? as I understand phone has a German ROM uploaded, can I upload any WWE ROM, don't know what is the WM version inside, 6.0?,6.1?6.5? as customer says it is multilanguage phone.
regards
You can upload every rom you want, it doesn't matter which rom you have now. Bricking the device is possible (rare but possible) but it's the only chance you have to remove that code. I flashed 5 times without problems and other users flashed 100+ times without problems.

great thanks mate for all helps. problem solved.

Hello,
I have got a big problem with my Asus a10. Somehow, yesterday, when i took it out of my pocket the screen said enter code. I tried entering my pin code and my puk code, both didnt work, the only thing that happened was that it locked my phone. Now everytime i boot up the phone it starts with the enter code screen and it says 1 attempt left. Everytime i try to enter a code it just blockes, takes me to the homescreen and says network locked. The only thing i can do from there is turn off the phone or make emergency calls.
When i reboot, it still says 1 attempt left.
I tried hard resetting the phone by holding both volume keys and the power key, didnt work either.
The strange thing is, it happens also when the sim card is out.
I also tried to update the firmware but you have to enable the usb file transfer mode and i cant enable that because its locked!
Does anyone have any idea or do i have to send the phone to garmin?? The problem with that is that i rooted it and that voids the warranty, and i cant unroot it because i need to enable usb file transfer!
thanks in advance..
Peter
So no one has had this problem before?
Sorry for the shameless bump hehe

Hi .
read a few threads about this problem, but they seem old - is there any way to unlock the tp2 ?
i have used the same pin for over a year and suddenly it said "incorrect password" when trying to unlock.
now it doesnt even give a "response" when tapping the unlock button.
i can tap in an emergency number and call that but nothing more.
when i try to connect to pc i get error that device is unlocked and pls unlock to sync.
any tips ?
Assuming that you are referring to the WM OS pin code, no. There is no way short of a hard reset to clear that out.
Sorry. Hope you have a somewhat recent backup. Otherwise you are SOL.
