Nokia
5110 Secrets
*#06#
for checking the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment
Identity)
*#0000#
To view Software Version.
*#746025625#
[*#sim0clock#]
Checks if the SIM clock can be stopped. SIM clock stop
is a kind of stand-by mode which will save battery time.
This code doesn't work with software version 4.59.
*#92702689#
[*#war0anty#]
You don't need the warranty-codes any more - you can just
scroll through the information like in any other menu.
It has the same data as 81xx and 31xx phones (with "Edit"
button for purchase date, and "User data transfer")
Menu :
1: Displays Serial Number.
2: Displays the Month and Year of Manufacture (0997)
3: Displays (if there) 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 repair - if found (0000)
6: Does anyone know if this is for upgrading the phone's
EEPROM?? (Transfer user data?)
Enhanced
Full Rate Codec (EFR):
On: Enter *3370# and EFR will be activated after a reboot
of the phone ( This 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.
Enhanced
Full Rate :
Will give you much better sound quality when you enable
it. The new Enhanced Full Rate CODEC adopted by GSM uses
the ASELP (AlgebraicCode Excitation Linear Prediction)
compression technology. This technology allows for much
great voice quality in the same number of bits as the
older Full Rate CODEC. The older technology was called
LPC-RPE (Linear Prediction Coding with Regular Pulse Excitation).
Both operate at 13 kilo bits.(but you take up more space
on the network, so they can charge you more) - Talk-time
is reduced with about 5%.
Half
Rate :
Will give you bad sound quality, which gives the service
provider the opportunity to have more calls on the network,
and you might
get a lower charge from them. - Will give you 30% longer
talk-time.
Network
Monitor
There is a hidden menu inside your Nokia phone. If you
want to activate it, you'll have to re-program some chips
inside of your phone or the easier way is by using the
Software Pclocals and the MBUS cable.
With re-programming :
1.Check your software version. You can only continue if
you have v4.33, v4.73 or v5.24.
2.Take apart the phone.
3. De-solder the EEPROM (ATMEL AT 24C64).
4. Read out the data with an EEPROM programmer and save
it to a file (Backup).
5. If you have v.33 or v4.73, change the address "03B8"
from "00" to "FF".
6. If you have v5.24 then change the address "0378" from
"00" to "FF".
7. Write the new data to the EEPROM and solder it back
to the phone.
8. Power on your phone and you should have "Netmonitor"
enabled.
With Software Pclocals :
1. You'll need an MBUS cable and Pclocals.zip. (To get
this file, E-Mail
Us your request)
2. After the splash screen of the program, you'll have
to set-up the COM port where your cable is attached.
3. After "Initializing connection" choose "MR Memory Functions"
and once you arrive at this menu choose the menu 6.
4. Then type 243 ad Field Test Display to activate the
full netmonitor or 241 to deactivate it.
The Network Monitor gives you the following information.
- Carrier
number
- MS
RX Level in DBM
- Received
signal quality
- MS
TX power level C1 (Path loss criterion, used for cell
selection and reselection). The range is -99 to 99.
- RTL
(Radio link timeout).
- Timeslot
- Indication
of the transmitter status
- Information
on the Network parameters.
- TMSI
(Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity).
- Cell
identification (Cell ID, Number of cells being used).
- MCC
(Mobile country code)
- MCN
(Mobile network code)
- LAC
(Location area code)
- Ciphering
(On/Off)
- Hopping
(On/Off)
- DTX
(On/Off)
- Discard
cell barred information.
The
Reboot Trick
Should work on all software versions.
1. Go to calendar (menu - 8)
2. Make note / reminder
3. Enter some text into the edit box
4. Hold clear until whole text is cleared, then press
Back
5. Press 0. Main screen is shown but a space appears on
the screen. You can't see it of course.
6. Enter 4 digits (1234, for example)
7. Use the down arrow to move the cursor to the left side
of the numbers and the space (2 times down arrow)
8. Now enter 6 digits and press the green "Call button".
Wait some seconds...the phone will now flash the background
light and finally reboot. The trick should also work on
other menus like the profile menu. The
James Bond Trick
If you short-circuit the left middle and right pins on
the bottom of the phone with all connections touching
each other, the Nokia software hangs. The profile "Headset"
will be activated.
Before you do this just activate the "Automatic Answer"
in the headset profile and set the ringing volume to "Mute".
Now you can use your phone for checking out what people
are talking about in a room. Just place it under a table
in a room and call it. The phone receives the call without
ringing and you can listen to what people are saying.
Service
Prover Lock
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 up to
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. #pw+1234567890+1# for Provider-Lock
status
#pw+1234567890+2# for Network-Lock status
#pw+1234567890+3# for Country-Lock status
#pw+1234567890+4# for SimCard-Lock status
# = DOUBLE-CROSS
W = PRESS "*" THREE TIMES
P = PRESS "*" FOUR TIMES
+ = PRESS "*" TWO TIMES
MASTERCODE = 1234567890
Y = NUMBER 1 TO 4
[ Master code ] is a 10 digit code, based on the phones
IMEI number.
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)
Ex. To check if phone if restricted on lock 1 type the
following code:
#pw+1234567890+1#
NOTE
: These codes could be used with care! A user
told me that it's only possible to type in about 3 different
codes on each lock! Then something bad will happen ..therefore
be careful!
How
to open lock 1 and 4
You will need Winlock software and a MBUS cable to do
this. Winlock is a Nokia service program that you can
use to open lock 1 and 4, really you are closing locks
when you do that, but when you write ????? at MCC+MNC
and MSIN text box, the phone don't understand it and consider
that it's open.
That trick only works for lock 1 and 4, but not for lock
2 and 3.
1. Install winlock 1.10
2. Connect your MBUS Nokia data cable
3. Run Winlock
4. Push Read Phone, if you have Lock 2 or Lock 3 closed
you can not open your phone, but you can try change Lock
2.
5. Select State Close in Lock 1 and Lock 4, fill out MCC+MNC
and MSIN text boxes with ??????? and Push Close Locks.
6. Now you can use any operator card in your phone.
If you get any error when you do that do the following
steps :
Select State Automatic in Lock 1 and Lock 4 and change
type to User in Lock 1 and Lock 4, fill out MCC+MNC and
MSIN text boxes with ?????????? and Push Close Locks.
- Select State Automatic in Lock 1 and Lock 4 and change
type to Factory in Lock 1 and Lock 4, fill out MCC+MNC
and MSIN text boxes with ?????????? and Push Close Locks.
- If you continue getting errors you must turn off your
phone and reset computer and try again.
How
to open lock 2
When operators companies close lock2 you can only use
the contract or prepaid card for this operator, but you
can use another operator company prepaid card if you know
what GID1 must write.
1. Install Winlock
2. Run Winlock
3. Configure Winlock. Select menu Winlock->Defaults
and change GID byte count to 2.
4. Push Read Phone, and write down GID1 info that appear
in lock 2.
5. Insert the prepaid card from a different operator company.
6. We must find out a the GID1 info adequate for our new
prepaid or contract card, take a look at our GID1 list
and check if your operator and SIM card type is included,
if not try to get a phone that have lock 2 closed and
have the SIM card type that you want to use in your phone,
and read GID1 info with winlock. You can try to write
the most used GID1 codes like 0000,10FF,01FF, or FFFF,
etc.
7. Change Lock 2 Type from User To Factory or from Factory
to User.
8. Push Close Locks
9. Your phone will be reset every time you push Close
Locks, if your card is not accepted the GID1 is not correct,
repeat from step 4 until you find the correct GID1.
10. If you get error you must turn off your phone and
reset computer and try again.
11. If you want your phone accept your original prepaid
card write in GID1 the code you read at step 2 and close
locks.
Bypass
the SP lock

to one provider you can bypass the SP lock like this:
1. Insert sim card of different provider.
2. Turn on the phone and press the UP VOLUME key for 3
sec. then release it and the phone says PIN CODE?
3. Press the "C" key.
4. Then Press * and wait until it disappear and appear
again, then press * one more time and 04*PIN*PIN*PIN#
The phone now says: PIN CODE CHANGED (or ACCEPTED) and
the SIM card is accepted until you
restart the phone again.
NOTE: On version 5.04 Nokia has removed this option !
Your
number in your display
1. Goto menu 3-7 Call cost settings.
2. Turn ON the Call costs' limit 3-7-1. PIN2 code Required.

the telephone number can be viewed larger.
Power
Button Tip:
If you press the button for a short moment, the menu with
the profiles is shown on the display. If you press one
more time, the mobile turns itself off. You can use the

Crazy
5110
Send a SMS full of . (dots) the it'll go crazy when you
scroll the received message in your 5110. It doesn't do
any permanent damage...it only goes crazy if you scroll
the SMS. I'm not sure if it works with all of the software
version but it works with 4.59.
Doesn't work on SW version 4.53 ..
The
54# Tip:
Type 1#, 2#........54# on the keypad (when you're not
in the menu) to get the phone number used for with this
key when speed dialing.
Revealing
the Headphone and Car-Kit menus
Please note that if you do these next tricks, the new
menus can't be erased without restoring the factory default
settings. To do these tricks you need to short-circuit
the pins on the bottom of the phone next to where you
plug in you charger.
1. To activate the "Headset" menu, you need to short-circuit
pins "3" and "4". After a short time the word "Headset"
will be shown in the display. Menu 3-6 is now enabled.
2. To activate the "Car" menu, you need to short-circuit
pins "4" and "5".
After a short time the word "Car" will be shown in the
display. Menu 3-7 is now enabled.
Free
SMS Tip
Set Menu 4-3-3 on Usergroup 666 (work with German Networks)
Quick
SMS Typing
When typing SMS messages, you have to wait some seconds
before you can type the next letter if it is in the same
button than the previous one. For example try to write
the word "letter", you have to wait before you can enter
the second "t".
A much faster solution is to press the # button twice
and then the letter "t" or just press the down button
once and continue to use the same letter key.
Numbers
in SMS
Hold the # key press * three times, the abc or ABC on
the upper left of the display switches to 123 and you
can write numbers directly. To come back to "abc", repeat
the procedure.
Free
Call Tip
Note
: The tips needs Net Monitor enabled. Be aware
that the trick will remove Netmonitor in some sw versions
like v4.73 and v5.04.
1. Launch the NetMonitor in your Nokia 51xx / 61xx
2. Execute the test number 497
3. Free calling for about 90 sec should now have been
activated. The trick has not been confirmed working yet.
New
Menu on Emergency Calls
*3001#12345# Brings a new menu that gives you access to
the emergency calls ( 911 Etc. ). It will give you FREE
calls. (only the ones you put in the emergency!! ). This
option will depend on your GSM operator, may be this code
