samsung GT-B3210 - phone lock code forgotten

[DJ_COOPER92]

I have a samsung GT-B3210 and have not used it for a while and have forgotten the phone lock code. i have searched the web for answers but they all say enter codes which all appear like this, *0000*0000#, and when entering the phone lock i can only enter numbers, not *'s and #'s.
Cheers,
Joe.

Do one thing, Download the Samsung PC Studio and then connect your phone to the computer. Download the latest firmware for the samsung GT-B3210 mobile phone and reflash your phone to it. This way it will remove all the lock codes and all. Prior to flashing you can also try to backup your phone so that the phone data is saved and can be backed up again.

The only way to fix your issue is to flash the phone completely so that all the old settings are wipe out. For that there is a tool called ufshwk. You can download this one and flash your phone. But remember that if you do this wrong or if there is any mistake done in this your phone will dead forever. First you have to press * and Power on / off button till you can see the pc connectivity screen. Then connect the phone via usb and let Windows install the drivers automatically. You can see in Device Manager under Ports > Samsung Mobile USB Port (Com9). In the tool go in write/flash section and erase the phone. Remember that this is quiet risky. Do this on your own risk.
