Today, I had a Sony Ericsson W850i to examine. The casing displayed the '3' logo and had a '3' USIM card fitted.
On power up the handset asked for a handset unlock code. I connected the handset to SETool and selected identify....wher you would usually find the user defined handset lock code the word 'MULTIPLE' was shown.
I tried using server support and the same result was forthcoming.
AT this stage rather than selecting 'unlock' I really wanted to know the actual code, so I read the GDFS. I trawled through this file and still could not identify the security code, so I selected 'unlock' and reverted the handset lock to '0000'. I then read the GDFS again and both files were exactly the same, therefore showing that the user defined codes do not reside in the GDFS.
For future referance has anyone any idea where the security codes are stored and how to get them out without changing the data back to the zero's.
