Nokia Secret Codes/Hacks

These codes for the Nokia series of phones provide some interesting information for users, they also unlock some hidden functions. These codes are often reffered to as "Nokia Secret Codes" or "Nokia Hacks". Use the codes at your own risk, not all Nokia phones support all codes, I have tried to split them into these groups.

These 3 codes work on 90% of Nokia phones;

*#06# n/a Display the IMEI (Standard GSM command, works on all phones)
*#0000# n/a Display the firmware version and date
*#92702689# *#war0anty# Here you can view the S/N and the IMEI as well as the life timer (newer models). The date the phone left the factory and the date it was purchased. If your phone has been repaired the date of the repair is also visible. You will need to turn the phone off to exit this menu. Newer phones simply require you to press ok.

The following codes are specific to older series 40 phones; (Entering the following codes will restart the phone)

*4720# (*hra0#) Cctivates Half Rate, Half Rate is 5.6kbit/s and uses half the bandwidth at the cost of call quality. Network operators often activate half rate on overloaded towers during peak times to save costs.
#4720# (#hra0#) Deactivates Half Rate
*3370# (*efr0#) Activates Enhanced Full Rate, EFT attempts to match wire quality. The calls are 12.2kbit/s and are not supported by all operators. It is compatibale with the hightest AMR mode.
#3370# (#efr0#) Deactivates Enhanced Full Rate
*#746085685# (*#sim0clock#) Display the SIM clock status

The following codes are phone specific or phase related;

*#7220# (*#pca0#) Activate the GPRS PCCCH support (Packet Common Control Channel)
*#7230# (*#pcd0#) Deactivate the GPRS PCCCH support
*#7760# (*#ssn0#) Display the manufacturing serial number

This only works on the 3310 and 3330;

*#67705646# (*#opr0logo#) Clear the operator logo, the logo will be reset to the default network operator logo.

The following codes work on newer series 40 & series 60/80 phones;

*#2820# (*#bta0#) Display the Bluetooth MAC address (Phone must have a built in bluetooth adapter)
*#7370925538# (*#res0wallet#) Reset the mobile wallet (Phone must have the mobile wallet feature)
*#7370# (*#res0#) Soft-format the memory (Symbian)
*#7780# (*#rst0#) Reset to factory defaults, confirmation required (also known has a Hard-format), all phone contents will be wiped clean including contacts and smses if they are stored on the phone

If you have any other codes or tips please do not hesitate to forward them to me and I will add them here.

Tricks and Codes for Symbian based Nokia Mobile Phone

There are some new technology related open operating system called Symbian based OS. The main features are as;

Symbian OS was built to follow three design rules: the integrity and security of user data is paramount, user time must not be wasted, and all resources are scarce. This led to the writing of a microkernel, a request-and-callback approach to services, the concept of separation between UI and Engine (the business logic of a Symbian application). The OS is optimised for low-power battery-based devices and for ROM-based systems (e.g. features like XIP and re-entrancy in shared libraries). Applications, and the OS, follow an object-oriented design.

Symbian is not open source software yet. However, phone manufacturers and other partners are provided with parts of its source code. The APIs are publicly documented and up to Symbian 8.1 anyone could develop software for Symbian OS.

The common series of Nokia for this kind of OS are
Below giving some tricks and code for this kind of symbian based Nokia model.

To know the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) No.: *#06#
To check the phones Software revision. *#0000#
To enter the service menu type. *#92702689#
Clock Stopping. *#746025625#

#06# Display the IMEI (GSM standard)
*#0000# Display the firmware version and date
*#bta0# Display the Bluetooth MAC address (models with build-in Bluetooth radio, activate first to show address)
*#mac0wlan# Display the WLAN MAC address (models with build-in Wi-fi radio)
*#opr0logo# Clear the operator logo (3310 and 3330 only)
*#pca0# Activate the GPRS PCCCH support (early GPRS models)
*#pcd0# Deactivate the GPRS PCCCH support (early GPRS models)
*#res0wallet# Reset the mobile wallet (models with mobile wallet)
*#res0# Soft-format the memory (Symbian models only)
*#rst0# Reset to factory defaults, confirmation required (DCT4 or newer)
*#sim0clock# Display the SIM clock status (DCT3 only)
*#ssn0# Display the manufacturing serial number (mid-range and premium, non-Symbian models, and those devired from them)
*#war0anty# Display the manufacturing and repair info (no exit on DCT3)
*efr0# Enable EFR encoding (pre-2003 models)
#efr0# Disable EFR encoding (pre-2003 models)
*hra0# Enable HR encoding (pre-2003 models)
#hra0# Disable HR encoding (pre-2003 models)
#pw+1234567890+n# Display the SIM lock status: (pre-2003 models)
n = 1: provider lock
n = 2: network lock
n = 3: country lock
n = 4: SIM lock
