hello mobile guru,
I have one question if it is possible. I have an old mobile sony ericsson w660i, which I did not use like 5 years.
I think I have some photos (from my baby kid) I want them to send on my PC.
But of course I forgot my password. When I turn on mobile without sim, it says Insert Sim,
when I turn on with Sim, it says Phone lock:
I have no idea which code was.
And the battery is of course old and it runs like 15 minute and then I have to charge again.
Is it possible to unlock phone, so that I do not loose my data on the phone.
I would be very thankful if somebody could help me.

Hi all,
I will be eternally grateful for your help but I am not holding much hope.
I got this new phone from my operator Three in the UK back in January this year.
All works ok except for the screen calibration which I did not get round to fix.
On Monday I decided to put a pin lock on my phone, as I haven't been using
the pin lock for a few years now. I chose the pin code, then I stupidly tried
"Lock Sim". Then the screen came up with sim locked, PUK needed.
I did not make even one attempt with the PUK code as I decided to phone
my operator for it. We went through the procedure, he gave me the PUK
code and we managed to unlock the sim card and then I remember the
pin code (as I always have) and inputted it and the phone is unpinned.
I need to mention that we did have one or two bad attempts where
I couldn't hear the technical guy too well and I did enter the wrong pin
once or twice, but less than the 3 attempts limit and we did have to
take the battery out 3-4 times due to this and also because
I kept putting the sim card the wrong way round being very careless.
The sim is unlocked but on the screen it is "no service" emergency
calls only, where if you choose the emergency option green button
it will give you a menu and * # . I can see some symbols on the top
such as wifi connected. If I call this mobile phone I can pick up
the call, the screen has the usual answer or reject phone symbol on.
But during and after the call pressing the home/back/menu button
on the phone (off the screen ) have no effect. I told the technical
guy about this. He suggested a new sim but if I put my old sim
in my other three pre-smartphones phones it works. However
this phone is tied to this sim card/phone number only as I try
my other sims on it and they do not work.
I have tried a few things:
the 7378423 thing with all the right *#, doesn't work. but 06 works to get IMEI
cannot enter fastboot mode holding down the volume up button and plugging
USB in, but can enter flash mode.
I do not want to lose data as I have some important data which I haven't
backup to my sin so I don't want to use PCC or SUS to install either
the current OS (I think it is ICE cream 4.04 ish) or the new jelly bean.
To complicate matters my phone is not USB debugged enabled so I
cannot use software to do a quick backup of my phone I tried
mobile me from wonderware(?) and its needs usb debugging.
PC companion doesn't have restore and backup anymore, or at least
not for xperia J as the Sony support guy told me, if it does it probably
needs debugging enabled.
Talked to Sony support, he said the only way is to use PCC to reinstall
software and I will lose data as expected. I asked him if Experia J
and the newer Xperia phones have disabled the 7378432 service
code and if there is a new one which he can tell me. He says there
are no new codes.
The phone is not totally now working, I managed to get into "safe mode".
I wonder if the phone actually is rooted or has bootloader unlocked I
read if that is the case it may explain why the 7378432 does not work
as it only works on sony stock rom. But then I came across other people
whose phones may not be bootloader unlocked and this code does not work.
I also came across people who cannot get into fastboot mode.
Maybe because my batch of xperia J, together with customisation by
my phone operator has disabled 7378432 and fastboot which I don't thin
so as Sony themselves mentioned the use of these two important
elements in their unofficial but be warned section on unlocking the
bootloader. I wonder when I took out the battery a few times when
I spoke to the technical guy my phone is locked due to security but
as I said before the PUK code was entered correctly first time round
if not second time round, so is the pin, We just took the battery out
and retried about 2 times as my sim was in the wrong way round.
Finally my apologies for the long post, the phone still has my wallpaper
on it and the error message I used to get from an app (telling me the
app is not working) when I turned on the phone. If the phone was
flashed/rooted then it was not done by me, it might have been done
by a previous owner and then returned to the operator within 14 days
and then my supposedly new phone is this rooted phone. Without
usb debugging enabled its hard to go into recovery mode via
usb link/flashrom/boot etc? But if we know which rom we can
try to go into recovery mode without a usb link by pressing a few buttons?
At the end if I have enough money which I don't sadly someone at sony
can probably take the phone out and do some high level fixing, as long
as the memory is still in tact which I hope it is. For some reason the
phone is locked in this emergency calls only mode. I have not made
any attempts to root it etc before Monday and no attempts to root it.
I just thought the 7378432 can "unlock" a phone lock like the much
discussed xperia Z - if the phone is on a pin/pattern lock etc.
My attempt to go into fastboot mode is to hope that by getting in
and getting out of it the phone will reverse back to normal. My situation
is mainly complicated by that I really want not to lose the data, sms
particularly when we try to unlock/unfreeze the phone.
Extremely sorry for the long post, if anyone can help I will be
most most grateful, bye for now.
Hi, a family member passed away a few months ago and I was given her phone by her sister to use if I wanted. She had the phone and charger, and thats it. I stay in the UK and the phone I use is on O2. The phone she had was the Experian L but she had her phone through a contract with virgin media.
When I initally put my sim card in and turned the phone on it said 'virgin media, this phone has been reported lost/stolen'. In order to unclock it from this security lock I needed her insurance company(through virgin) to provide me with a 4 digit pin to unlock the phone. This was very hard to get as the insurance people are different from virgin media, but after a while they agreed to give me the code if I sent a copy of her death certificate in. I did this and got the code thankfully. I was told that I wouldnt be able to use my o2 simc ard in the phone because the handset was locked on Virgin. I was told if I paid £15 I would receive the unlocking code through the post in a week or so.
I did this and got a letter through the door with the instruction on for to unlock the handset. Basically its a 16digit number that I enter and the phone become unlocked. However, after all this Ive just realised I think there is a phone lock on the phone i.e. a pin she must have set herself? I think this because when I power the phone up without a sim, all I can see is the date/time, with her name underneath, and also underneath that is a keypad. When you press any button on the keypad and hit enter it says wrong pin? That happens without a sim card so I presume it is a phone pin lock she had on her phone is that correct? If so, is there any way around this? Ideally I would like to keep whatever pictures etc are on the phone however I realise that might not be possible. Ive tried to download the sony suite however it wont allow me to use the suite because it tells me on the computer I must enter the pin on the phone to continue! bit of a nightmare to be honest.
Any help/suggestions with what I can do? Many thanks
I cant unlock through Pc Companion because Pc Companion needs the screen to be unlocked before it connects the device, and I cant do that.
factory reset
Hello, do a factory reset to the Phone, but you will loose all the information on it
I have bought the Zz and tryed to get sms from my old Xperia SP: And just cannot make it work. It makes no difference wheather I use PIN in NFC, the result is the same.
So where do I go wrong:
XPERIA SP:
I downloaded an installed the app from Google play. The firmware on SP in the stock 4.3 Android. The only option that this phone gives me in of sending data wirelessly to another device. So just what I need. I click to the screen where it want to know whether I want to use PIN of NFC.
XPERIA Z5
I launch the "app" from the settings and click that the other device in an Xperia (or android, it makes no difference, the result is the same). I click that I want to receive data wirelessly from the other device i get to the screen where I have to choose PIN of NFC.
Let's say I go with PIN. Xperia Z5 offers me a PIN code and I enter it in Xperia SP. When connection is made, Xperia Z5 asks me to "accept" the other device (don't know what the proper word is, I do not use English on any of my devices). I accept of course. The xperia SP informs me that that is all I have to do on this device and that I should choose what I want to sync from he list on the other device. And that is the problem. Xperia Z5 never loads the list. I cannot select anything, it is just loading with the red circle going around endlesly. I left it for over 20 minutes ones, just to make sure I am not to impatient but to no avail. It's the same with NFC.
What am I doing wrong?
I had the same problem when I transferred data from my Z2.
The thing is, 20 minutes is not enough time. The process is very slow. I don't know how long it took for me. I just started the process before I went to bed and when I woke up, I had a list of applications I could transfer.
So just give it time.
Good luck
O dear, I didn't think, it would take that much time. I will give it another try.
I haven't tried those but i use the cloud which is extremely stable. Try uploading it to the cloud from your old phone and then download it from your new phone
I noticed in these screenshots that the cell signal is generally poor (yellow and red). It drains A LOT of battery when the phone has to compensate for the poor signal. Might be due to the phone/antenna though.
So I switched from my Xperia XZ to an iphone begging of the year. Moved most of my stuff over but left some old photos etc on there to move another time. Can't remember the password but I was under the impression that I could in an emergency case unlock or rest the phones password from my google account ?
I've put the sim back in the phone and can see the device but only allows me to lock the device not set a new password or reset it etc ?
Any ideas ?
Dw got in eventually !
Hello,
i have phone Sony XA F3111. It have locking pattern. This phone belonged to the dead man who died at the fall from ladder, on phone was broken LCD and phone started format SD card. From SD card i recovered only old photos, half of card was cleared. His family would be able to get information, especially photos, contacts, and SMS stored in it. Mobile has a pattern protection and no one knows what pattern it has. Now there are about 20 attempts before the phone reset. How can this protection be removed? Alternatively, where i can send it to unlock the phone and get access to the data. Mobile is not routed or USB debug enabled, locked bootloader. I will pay 200eur for data from it. Aplication like Dr.Fone dont support this model.
Thanks for any help.
