MMC password recovery and formatting
option 2: locate mmcstore file. install and launch System Explorer or FExplorer application. go to c:\system\ and open (using unicode/hex editor) the mmcstore file. it will display your password. NOTE: you can also copy the mmcstore file to any folder of your phone memory, rename it to mmcstore.txt and open it without using any unicode/hex editor).
** if mmcstore is no longer available (let’s say you already formatted your phone memory so mmcstore is deleted, or you bought a password-protected MMC, or whatever reason), proceed to formatting a password-protected MMC ’cause its hopeless to recover the password anymore.**
To unlock Memory Card follow the following steps :
*Run(open) the file unlockMMC.app
(in that filemanager click options open or view…don’t open in hex editor or other editor–App file is exe file equivalent of PC in series 60)
*Enter new Password you like (example “123456″)
*Run application Memory from Menu->Extras->Memory (there’ll be option to unlock mmc)
*Then choose to unlock MMC with that new password that you have set just now
FORMATTING PASSWORD-PROTECTED OR CORRUPTED MMC
formatting a password-protected or corrupted MMC is different from formatting an ordinary working MMC. YOU CANNOT format such kind of MMC using any Nokia Series60 phone nor even the card reader.
To format those kinds of MMC successfully, use a digital camera, Nokia Communicator series phones (such as N9210i), palm devices, or any MMC supported devices other than S60 phones and card readers (Even 6680 Will Do).
Just Cover The Last Pin That Is Closer To The Cut Edge Of The Card With Some Clear Tape And Voila!! The Card Is Not Write Protected Anymore And Works Just Fine!! I Tried It In A Card Reader And In A Nokia 6230!!!
Hope That Solved Everyone’s Problem
Also search using search box at right for more ways to use locked mmc card.
Have Fun With Your Nokia
if all else fails, bring it to where you bought it and claim for a warranty (if not yet expired) or bring it to any certified MMC expert technician and see if he can do something about it.
