Hello, I have an unlocked phone. All features are unlocked. I have successsfully installed games using the great tutorial provided in this webpage. Games work great.

When I get to the part of ACCESSING Admin Settings w/ Master Key.
I am able to get to the Admin settings using provided code: *#6984125*# with no problems.
Then go to INTERNALS and the Master key does not work.

Samsung Eternity: A867

I use my phone with T-Mobile service.

Any ideas,
Thank you.

Correct no luck. Exact key. Type it twice and, and gave me a message not a master key.

I purchase this phone fully unlocked. Usin T-mobile service now.
Use tutorial and was able to get games going by deleting a file.
I used a SIM card that is not active.
Don't know it that makes any diference.

DOes phone need a active simcard to get this code working?

let me know.
Thanks so much for the promp response.

I have not heard of any problems with Unlocked phones and the MK. I would assume that you have to have an active SIM card to get to the main screen of the phone. But if you can get into the admin menu, then it should not be necessary. I cannot duplicate what you have because my phone is not unlocked and I do not have an inactive SIM card. Maybe someone else is having a similar problem?

Sorry! I will keep looking for you.

I will use an active sim card and will report back. Hopefully that is the issue.

Will let you know.
Thank you.

Ok, I have inserted an acitive SIM Tmobile account.

Logged into the ADMIN Settings menu with no problems. Using *#6984125*#

Select INTERNAL, and get a prompt for MASTER KEY. Type: *#3718790*# and get message.

PASSWORD INCORRECT.

My phone is about over a year old Samsung Eternity A867. Fully Unlocked.

Don't know what is going on. Maybe there are tow Master Keys??

If some has a second master key or and Idea? Let me know.

Thank you all.

its 3818, not 3718.  That might be the problem.

sorry  everyone. It was a mistype on my part.

Master key used was the correct one: *#3818790*#

I did use it correct key now about 8 times. Two times every couple of hours, after reseting phone settings, with Couple of different SIM cards, not sure what is going on.

There has to be a second master key or when my phone was fully unlocked the master key got erased. Don't know what to think.

Will keep on trying and searching.

Thank you all!

Yes I mistyped number in the post. I did use the exact number provided in the tutorial.

 *#3818790*#


That number did not work on my Samsun Eternity A867.

try the master key for the behold
*#9072641*#

Also try using a stylus or pen to press the numbers.  Sometimes when I enter the master key fast it doesn't work because my fingers are too fat.

That would probably indicate that you are typing it wrong...
