*#0000# for checking the phones software (SW) - called firmware revision information.
LASTEST Version V. 4.51 (26-03-98)
This is what the Nokia 5110 displays when software code is typed.
V 04.51
26-03-98
NSE-1
First line:
The Software Version
(My guess is that this software has been used in
previously Nokia-phones,
what do you say?!).
Second line:
The date of the SW
release.
Third line:
NHE-8 has something
to do with the type of phone you are dealing with.
Is it GSM 900 (standard),
GSM 1800 (DCS1800) or GSM 1900 (PCS1900)?
Nokia 2110, 3110,
8110(i) are all NHE types.
The only thing that
vary is the code after NHE- ("8").
NHE = GSM 900, NHK
=GSM 1800 - The number in the end = the model (2110i = 4 etc.)
The 5110 and 6110
is called NSE-1 and NSE-3...this may be because it supports EFR (?)
Software update, how?
I have been asked a
lot about how to update the software in Nokia 3110.
The only thing to
do (for you and me) is for us to go to the nearest Nokia
dealer and make him
do it for you. Just remember that it is supposed to
be free (a receipt
is requiet) so don't let him tell you anything else!
*#746025625#
[*#sim0clock#] to check if the Sim-Clock can be Stopped
(Sim-clock-stop is a kind of standby mode which will save battery time)
*#92702689# [*#war0anty#] Warranty code.
Menu:
1: Displays Serial
Number.
2: Displays the Month
and Year of Manufacture (0997)

the date where the phone was purchased (MMYY)
you can here set the
Purchasing Date (Warning: You can only do this once -
so be careful what
you write...)
4: Displays the date
of the last repairment - if found (0000)
6: Does anyone know
if this is for upgrading the phone's EEPROM?? (Transfer user data?)
The Service provider
(SP) lock is used to lock the cell phone to the
SP's SIM card. Once
the cell phone is locked to a specific operator, if one
inserts a SIM card
from a different operator the phone will refuse to accept it!
The cell phone will
however accept another SIM card from the same operator.
All Nokia phones (2110
and newer) have four different SIM locks which can be used
to lock the phone
for upto 4 different providers. But most phones with restriction only
have one lock activated.
( lock 1)
The main code used in Nokia phones is:
#pw+(master code)+Y#
This code is able to check, activate or remove Sim card restriction (SP-lock).
Use the * key to get the p, + and w chars.
'Y' has to be 1,2,3
or 4 - depending of what lock you what to deal with.
(master code) is a
10 digit code, based on the phones IMEI number.
(I can NOT give you
the master code - SO DON'T ASK ME FOR IT !!!!!!!)
Eg. To remove restriction
on lock 1 type following code:
#pw+(master code)+1#
If you just want to
check your phone use 10 random numbers Eg. 1234567890
as the (master code)
eg. To check if phone if restricted on lock 1 type the following code:
#pw+1234567890+1#
Enhanced Full Rate
Codec (EFR):
On: Enter *3370# and
EFR will be activated after a reboot of the phone ( consumes more power
)
Off: Enter #3370#
and EFR will be switched off after a reboot of the phone.
Half Rate Codec:
On: Enter *4720# and
Half Rate coded will be activated after a reboot of the phone ( better
standby time )
Off: Enter #4720#
and Half Rate coded will be de-activated after a reboot of the phone
