Lost lock code after firmware update

Hi,
I recently updated my E66 firmware (i don't remember the versions now). The thing went ok, the phone is working... in general ok, except that: When I try to change something that requires the lock code. It don't recognize my old password. Now it showed me some error about 5 tries and it diapered before i could reed it all.
The phone is working, but I'm afraid that if it turns off I will be unable to power it on again.
Does any one know what that message was. And Is there a way I can get arraund to change the lock code, since the phone is working?
Thanks.
P.S. I can't get the phone to a Nokia Care Center because there's none In Uruguay, and even so, this phone isn't available in the region.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

On some phones the lock code is reset to the default 12345 when the firmware is updated. This is what must have happened with your phone.
However, since you have entered an incorrect lock code too many times in succession, the only way to unlock that now is for you to send the phone to a Nokia Care Point. There is no other way.
The phone shouldn't ask you for a security code when it starts, only for the PIN protecting your SIM. Some Eseries and Nseries phones, however, have a facility called "remote locking" whereby you can lock the phone by sending it an SMS with a code in it that you can define. If this function is activated then the phone does also ask for the security code when you switch it on.

IBM T60 Lost WWAN card after firmware update

Hi,
I tried to update my MC8755 with a new firmware a while ago using IBM system updater, but after windows restarted the device didn't even show anymore (not even as disabled or a device without a driver), at boot time the WWAN light comes on for a few seconds (till windows starts to load) then it switches off and that's it. I was not really using the card much at the time, so I didn't do anything about it, but after I've been camping a few times lately
I would like to be able to use it again.
I have tried to reflash the card again by downloading the firmware from the IBM website but I get a error message saying that it can not find the device, so its unable to flash it again, is there anything I can do to reflash the card? When it is not showing at all?
I've checked the BIOS and it is still showing that it is switched on.
I have also checked in Windows Control Panel > Thinkpad Configuration, But nothing is showing there.
I have also done FN + F5 and it is not showing there too!
I tried to do a hardware scan for new devices, but it was not found.
The Model is :2008WN6
Windows XP Pro SP3
Thanks
Rich

Ok,
A update, ive changed the card for a MC8775 but im still getting the same trouble, so i dont think its the card, could it be that i am running a patched bios?
I had to patch it to add my Intel ABGN Wireless card
Hope to hear from someone soon ...

Problems after firmware update 52.0.007

Hi,
I got my phone back after the shop fixed a problem and updated the firmware to the latest version 52.0.007.
But now I have following problems:
I can't get the calendar anymore to show up on the homescreen, even after checking the checkbox to do so
The Radio app. is gone
Does anyone has a solution for this?
Iwan

It may sound crazy but sometimes you need to "hard reset" device after firmware update (beware all data erased) by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself). Sometimes UDP = User Data Prersevation feature of 5800XM can carry over corrupt entries when updating.

My IPad will not respond to my pass code after I updated. iTunes says 'disable find my ipad' before I can restore from backup.

My IPad will not respond to my pass code after I updated from ITunes. ITunes says I must disable ''find my ipad'' in order to restore. I cannot get to that because my pass code is locked.
I only have one back up & that is the one I did when I updated. (Can't remember if it was before or after)

iTunes wants you to disable find my iPad because Apple wants to make sure you are not trying to restore someone else's iPad.
To turn off find my iPad, you need to enter your Apple ID password.

N78 problems after firmware update

I have recently updated my N78 (RM235) firmware to 13.052.231.6.
Before the update the internal GPS worked very well, finding satellites quickly and holding a strong lock. After the update the GPS is very poor, taking a long time to find satellites and loosing signal very easily.
Can anyone help with this problem or tell me how to re-install the previous firmware?

Has everything else stayed the same and only the GPS antenna reception got worse?
If that is the case you are right, but maybe the update made other improvements and for some reason one of them worsened the GPS antenna...just guessing...
By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.
The day we stop improving is the day we stop being good.

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not synced. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched with the iTunes sync process. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer which is not handled by iTunes. Most importing software includes an option to delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If is my understanding that some Windows import software supports importing photos from the Camera Roll, but not videos. Regardless, the import software should not delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll unless you set the app to do so.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes before the videos on the Camera Roll went missing and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since they went missing, you can try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup. Don't sync the iPhone with iTunes again and decline the prompt to update the iPhone's backup after selecting Restore.

HT5278 I lost a screen after this update, does anyone know how to fix this?

I lost a screen after this update, does anyone know how to fix this? Update iOS 5.1.1 It used to have three screens with icons on them, now only 1.

No offence, but as with quite a few others, my Iphone stopped charging on mains after iOS 7.0.4 update too.
Not sure you can categorically advise that "it simply is not a software issue" when so many different people are having the same symptoms after updating their iOS Just have a quick Google!
Luckily my (original Apple) cable will still allow recharging via USB to a laptop. So, process of elimination would point to a bricked charger that was working faultlessly up until the iOS 7.0.4 update was applied. Seems quite a stretch to be a coincidence.
Look forward to an explanation ..... and an update? ......

Restoring after firmware update - Ways :)

Hi All,
Nowadays we are receiving quite a few complaints that customers are unable to restore the application after updating their firmware. I would like all to discuss to come up with some ways to restore their applications after firmware update.
Before updating firmware
Customer can backup his phone using Nokia PC Suite's Content Copier application.
He can store his Contacts and Messages using Nokia Communication Centre as .csv file or .txt file.
For his Contacts he can sync with pc suite supported sync applications.
Messages he can store in Memory card and he can make a backup of memory card in PC.
If he is using Nokia PC Suite for his Multimedia items he can use Image Store if he is using Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Photos if he is using Nokia OVI Suite.
For Music he can use Nokia Music Manager or Nokia Music.
Once after updating his firmware, if he is unable to restore he can get those from above said applications.
If his calendar entries are not restored(as in case of some of Nokia e 71s and Nokia N 95/95 8 GBs), for God's sake if he has got one more similar device(or device having switch application on phone), he can restore the backup file to another phone having switch application, then he can transfer his data (Contacts, Calenders etc ) to his original phone
Dear Forum members, if you have got any other work around please let me know regarding the same, which will help our customers

Hi,
If you have issue in Nokia PC Suites, [subject to your phone's compatibility with Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 ],
you can install Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 and check if you can take backup and restore it later.
Also i would suggest to use USB for taking backup, since it will be faster than Bluetooth. Also you can select one category at one time(say backup contacts alone, then Calendar, then messages etc and so on ....)
Its better to skip memory card backup while backup-ing other Phone data for faster backup. Memory card backup can be done separtely(since it wont be affetcted while updating firmware, users can safely remove memory card while updating firmware)
Nowadays though recent phones has got UDP(User Data Prevention i.e., even if you update your phone's firmware, your data wont get erased ), still it is recommended to backup your phone data.
Hope this could help
I welcome our experts to add more details related to this topic.
