Nokia's Unlock Code Calculator


Have a Nokia handset that is locked to a network? Don't want to spend money or time bringing it to a customer service and have it unlocked? It's time for that limited network to be flexible and more useful.

Disclaimer: I will not be responsible of any damages that this application may bring. Also, unlocking your handset may void its warranty. Unlock at your own risk.

It's been years since I download this software: NokiaFREE Unlock Codes Calculator (http://unlock.nokiafree.org/)


This application unclocks Nokia DCT-3 and DCT-4 phones (see website for supported models) without any cables. All you have to do is enter your IMEI code (I have already discussed previously how to get your IMEI code), select model, select which network it is locked to, and generate your unlock code. Now insert a sim card with different network and input the generated code.

I have tested this to Nokia 2100 (locked to Sun Cellular Philippines) and Nokia 7610 (locked to Globe Telecom Philippines). Both phones now accepts any network simcards and are working perfectly.

Restaurant City's Empoyee Stamina Cheat


If you have already know, your employee will work slower every 20% of stamina. I have found a cheat that can make their stamina rise instead of falling down. Just like they are resting.

This way, you can leave your restaurant open for the whole day without thinking about your employees dying and demanding for rest.

Also, making them work to their fullest all the time.


Here we go.

1. Repeat steps #1-3 from my previous entry "How to Ace Restaurant City's Food Quiz".

2. Download, extract and run "Restaurant City Tools v5.1" by chinkang. You can get the program here, here or here.

3. Now copy the search options that is shown below.

- Hex checked
- Scan type: Exact Value
- Value type: 8 Bytes
- Memory Scan Options: All, Also scan read-only memory

4. Now enter the value "C85D89C33B28408B" (if you have Flash 9 installed) or "C45D89C33B28408B" (if you have Flash 10 installed) in the search bar and click on [First Scan] button to start searching for the value.

5. Select it and click  on the button.

6. Click on [New Scan] button and find "FC5D89C33B28408B". Repeat step #5.

7. Copy the memory addresses of the two results.

To copy the memory address, right click on the record, choose "Change record" and select "Address". Or simply double click the record on the "Address" column.

8. Paste the addresses on the code generator (Restaurant City Tools v5.1 - under "Stamina" tab) and click the "Get Code" button to copy the generated code.

9. Paste it at the bottom of the list in Cheat Engine that are selected previously.

10. Tick the checkbox in the "Frozen" column to enable the code.

12. Enjoy. Your employees' stamina will now rise instead of falling. Just like they were resting.

Note: You have to do the steps from the start everytime you close the browser or the webpage refreshes. It is because the memory address changes everytime the stated events occur.

Extra: You can also try other codes from the above tool. Just follow the same steps above but searching for a different hex value.
- Rubbish cheat doesn't work anymore.
- You need to have Flash 9 installed for most of the hex values to be found. So, my tip is install Flash 9 first. If you already have Flash 10, downgrade.
- I am having trouble using the "Customer Flow Cheat". I always get disconnected everytime I enable it.

If you have any questions, suggestions or clarifications regarding the matter, just leave a comment in this post and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. And, yes, I know that my english is not that good and my instructions are a bit confusing. Hehe ^^

How to Ace Restaurant City's Food Quiz


Restaurant City (by Playfish) is an app game in Facebook where you get run your own restaurant. Design it, decorate interior and exterior, earn money, raise popularity, collect, buy or trade ingredients and menus, hire friensd to work on you, visit other restaurants. Well, most of the basics. It's fun!

Ingredients are used to upgrade menus to gain more Gourmet Points (or experience points) to make your restaurant's land larger or hire more employees. One way of obtaining  an ingredient is the daily food quiz where you get to answer a food related question. If you answer it right, you will be rewarded a random ingredient.

Today, I'll teach you how to ace the quiz everyday.

1. Download, install and run Cheat Engine. You can get the latest version here. In this tutorial, I use Cheat Engine v5.5.

2. Make sure you are already logged-in in your Facebook account and Restaurant City App is already loaded.

3. Click the Select Process icon to select process. Choose the browser you currently are using (IE, Firefox, Opera, etc.).

For my case, I am using Opera.

4. Tick "Enable Speedhack" and set the speed to a lower value.

I used "0.1" as my speed. Meaning I can have the normal 10-second timer the game gives ten times longer. The time will run ten times slower. You can use 0.5 (two times slower) if you can move/click faster than me (I move like a turtle).

5. Don't click on "Apply" yet. Now open your mailbox and click on the daily food quiz. When the countdown before the game ticks at 1, quickly click on the "Apply" button. This will now enable the speed that you have entered. This will save you time waiting for the 3-second countdown running really slow.

6. Now that you have read the question, you can look up the answer here. Use your browser's built-in function "Find text" (CTRL+F) for faster lookup.

7. After answering the question, don't forget to revert back the speed to the default "1" and untick the checkbox.

Note: You can also use this method to some other flash games. Speed up or speed down the game.

Yahoo Everywhere with Globe Network


Its been months when I learn how to surf the net using my mobile phone. Using Wireless Active Protocol (WAP) over General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a convenient way to be portable. I can check my web-based e-mail and download attached documents anywhere. I can chat with my online buddies everywhere I go. And I'm doing all these for FREE. Well, almost.

To start surfing, have your phone's GPRS/Web settings set-up. And let it be used by your phone's web browser. For my case, I have a Nokia 6280 and subscribed on Globe Prepaid Network (Philippines). Every network's GPRS settings differ from one another.

Disclaimer: If you would be blaming me if you'd damage your handset by following these steps, then better not do them. I am not reliable of the damage or cost that will occur. I am just providing information that worked for me or the stated people. Thank you.

Note: Please read the whole post first before trying out the instructions.

For Globe subscribers:
To get your settings automatically, compose an SMS, type "GO <phone model>" and send to 2951. You will then receive your settings shortly. Save them.

If you didn't receive any, maybe your handset is not supported for automatic settings or something. But you always can do that manually. Follow this link (at the end part of the page) for step-by-step instructions on how to set them up. If your handset is not listed, you can try following steps for similar models. Like for example, I used the instructions for Nokia 6280 on my sister's Nokia 3500. They are pretty much the same.

If you set it up correctly, then you're ready to go.

Globe Network charge you for every kilobyte of data received or for every minute you are online (I think). But how do I do it for free, you'd ask. The sites that I surf is limited only to Yahoo Mobile and Globe WAP Site. Yes, that's very limited but Yahoo is only what I need.

I changed my phone's browser settings so that images will not be loaded when I visit sites. That way, I will receive much smaller data. From my experience, I have not paid a single cent while browsing with images off. I also have downloaded hundreds of kilobytes of files off of my email to my mobile phone.

WAP Sites:
Globe WAP Site - http://wap.portal.globe.com.ph/
Yahoo! Mobile - http://ph.m.yahoo.com/

Screenshots: (I changed settings to show images for this matter)
Yahoo! WAP Messenger Yahoo! WAP Mail Globe WAP Site

Logging in to Yahoo! WAP Messenger sets your status message to "I'm Mobile" by default. Many are mistaking it the same as "I'm on SMS" status message and saying that it will cost me much money to reply. Its on different world. Well, maybe a little bit the same because you receive messages on your mobile phone.

So, if my status message in YM is "I'm Mobile" or I have a mobile icon, don't hesitate to message. I can still receive and read your message. Just dont expect me to reply instantly.

If you encounter minor problems, post a comment or contact me and I'll try to help out. If you would be asking on how to setup GPRS settings on other networks, my answer is "I don't know". Sorry about that. Maybe you can ask your network's operator regarding that matter.

Nokia Security Master Code Generator


Have you forgotten your Nokia mobile phone's security keyguard and now can't unlock your keypads? Can't remember your security code to change some security settings? Before sending your phone to a customer service, try entering your master code first.

Master Code is an alternative for security code of your Nokia mobile phone. This code is generated and computed using the phone's IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity).

You can get your phone's IMEI by punching in [*#06#] on your phone. If keypad is not available or the secret code doesn't work, the IMEI code is also written on a sticker at the back of your handset underneath the battery. It is a 15-digit serial code unique for every handset.

You can get your mobile phone's master code by using this generator:
http://nfader.z-host.ru/

Master codes work on DCT-3 and old DCT-4 Nokia phones. To check whether your handset is supported by the generator above, follow this url:
http://nfader.z-host.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12

Note: PIN code is different from Security code thus you cannot use your master code to reset your PIN code. And, no, you also cannot use this master code to unlock your handset from a network.

Explore my undefined cyber life


"Cyber-"? Only 80s people use that term. Haha I don't know, too, why I'm using that. And I'm not that old.

Posts here will be about me and my cyber/electronic life. Computers, electronic gadgets, WWW, technology, cute girls (oops. not that last one). Well, almost anything that got to with the "cyber" world (there I go again using that term). Just anything that I can think about.

If you want to know more about me, you can read my other blog:

That will be for now.
