help! is there any way of reversing phone unlock.
yes, you've guessed it-ive done it and lost everything (i didnt actually think it was gonna work!)
have a feeling its un-rectifiable but worth asking...

I'm a bit puzzled here, what is it you actually did ? You dont lose anthing when you unlock a phone ??

purply

ive lost all my numbers, pictures, tunes-absolutely everything.
all i did was put the code in.

its a samsung s500i, which i now loath with a passion.

maybe it didnt like the code and there was a malfunction. let me switch it off and back on to see what happens.

No way of getting it back,by unlocking the phone you've also re-installed to software.

Was it a code that did a full eeprom reset ? You do usually lose everything when you do that, rather than a proper unlocking code or solution you dont lose anything

just put another sim in and it doesnt appear to recognise it-phone is telling me to ring sos!
so the unlocking hasnt worked and ive lost everything...?
oh, s**t.

i didnt even want to unlock it-just wanted to see what would happen.

purply

i think it was a full reset.
oh dear! luckily im not too sentimentally attached to the pics but gutted about losing the numbers. ill never be able to get hold of some of my contacts.

Try this it might work but I've never tested it

try to type in *#9998*masterpwd#
it will enable file manager in the menu 4.2.4 (my settings)
there you will see many functions, such as table reset, restore, etc
try restore and you might get lucky

it will say wrong code, but it still activates the manager, til you reboot the phone

By the way where it says masterpwd in the above code,put the master password which is usually 00000000 dont enter masterpwd as text

thanks for trying to help me. I really hope this works!

i get as far typing *#9998* and then the rest appears as _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
and then it says wrong entry.
:-(

thanks. you beat me to it!
