Technical Details

This utility software bypasses the phone locking mechanism by using a Symbian OS bootstrap component feature. Unlock.A is copied to a MMC card in a system folder. When the MMC card containing this software is inserted into a phone with the phone lock enabled, this software overwrites the phone lock information disabling the phone lock and in the process also loses some localization information.The software is not malicious by itself. Its purpose is dependent on the intention of its user.This utility software functions on mobile phones with Symbian OS based on EKA1.
