Hi guys, in this tutorial I'm gonna show you how to remove the log code from Nokia devices
0:11
Here I have the Nokia 5230 with the unknown log code. So if I want to perform the hard reset operation by typing in the following code
0:25
I'm gonna choose yes in this step and now I'm asked to input the proper log code
0:31
The standard one which in my case is 12345 doesn't work here
0:36
I've got the information about code error. So the only way to erase all data and settings and also reset the log code is to perform
0:47
the flash operation. Flashing results in updating your device firmware and erasing all data and settings making your
0:58
phone as it just came from the manufacturer. At the very beginning I should download two applications Nokia Cursuit and Nokia Best
1:08
Then I should extract all files here. So I choose extract here and the second one Nokia Best extract here
1:21
Then I should install Nokia Cursuit by typing in Nokia Cursuit installation packet
1:29
I'm gonna choose it next, accept the terms in the license. Next I'm gonna choose complete installation and I should choose shortcut on desktop and
1:43
quick launch shortcut. Now I can start installing process. It can take about two minutes
1:59
I'm gonna choose yes in this particular case
2:17
Well done, installation is completed
2:40
I can choose finish and now I should read how to activate this application
2:45
I've got the information and instruction in text file and I know that I should input
2:51
the configuration file to the folder support tool for store which I can find right here
3:00
So I copy the configuration file and now I'm gonna find the exact folder, program files
3:11
Nokia Cursuit and here I have product support tool for store and I'm gonna choose paste
3:22
Here I select copy and change, continue. The application should be activated
3:33
So now I can connect my phone to my PC by using the micro USB cable
3:49
I'm gonna choose yes. Let me do it one more time
4:01
Here I should select PC suite or Ovi suite and now the phone should be connected
4:11
So I should back to Nokia Cursuit folder and open application launcher
4:19
Then bin folder and here I have application launcher in the upper part of the folder
4:28
I can click it and this is the interface of application launcher
4:37
In the main menu I've got option product support tool for store
4:43
I can click it
4:53
Here I have two options Nokia Cursuit external and Care Pro. I'm gonna choose external and without inputting username and password I can sign in
5:05
In the main menu I've got something like tools and option firmware download
5:14
And in this step I should input the product code. The product code depends on the phone which we are using
5:27
So I can read it in both ways. The first one is by removing the battery from the phone
5:38
And here I have the information about code phone. And the second method is by using the Best application
5:54
And I'm gonna show you how to read this information from Best application
6:01
I should connect phone again but before that I should turn it on. Excellent
6:28
Then I input the micro USB cable. And one more time I should choose OV-suit or PC-suit
6:43
Ok, the phone is ready. OV-suit, ok
6:53
And now I should find the Best application folder which should be in the folder when

9:38
And come back to Best application. Here I ought to start Best
9:54
And I'm gonna read where is the path of this application

11:22
So I can reload the path by changing it. But I'm gonna choose the same one like before
11:35
