Unlocked w710i - Flash/Update 're-lock'?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I have a w710i that I:
Updated CID to 51/firmware to Euro4 using Wotan.
Unlocked using GSMLiberty

I have a problem with the external screen as the display goes blank in screensaver mode...sometimes showing backwards info when I click volume up/down. This is the only problem.
It was suggested elsewhere that I try using SEUS to reflash/update the phone and it may fix the problem.

My question: Will using SEUS 're-lock' my phone? Or has my phone been permanently unlocked??

if gsmliberty's unlock was a software/patch unlock then yes. it would relock your phone if u reflash

I emailed their support...any sure way I can tell if it was a patch or other?

How did it get unlocked? Did you insert some numbers or did you flash a file most likely ending in either *.vkp, *.bin, or *.mbn? If it is the former, it is truly unlocked and you can't do anything to it. If it is the latter, then it is a patch.

I had GSMLiberty unlock it...so most likely they uploaded a file and patched it.

After I emailed them I got an answer back. They sent me another credit to unlock it again.
