I am using a K770i.
Techmode is not there in this mobile.
Could some one tell me any possibility by which i could get it in my phone.
Thank you

Techmode not only needs to be enabled by starting it, but actually enabled on the phone. If it's not starting, there's a good chance it's not available. To make it available you need to upload a customize_upgrade.xml file using something like a2uploader to TPA-PRESET-CUSTOM containing:

[customization>
[network>
[techmode-enabled>true[/techmode-enabled>
[techmode-passcode>0000[/techmode-passcode>
[/network>
[customization>

NOTE: Change all tag opening "[" to "<" - it wouldn't let me use these tags here.

If you are unsure how to do this, please search forums as I am not going to re-invent the wheel here.
