I have tried this countless times with the "quick_access" and just as the instructions above. The phone is I have is K790a but for some reason I must have the only edition in the world doesn't unlock, just like everything else I own its the only version of the product that nothing works on. Anyways it just ends up killing my firmware and I have to re-load it again. I tried everything even using the same firmware as mentioned. Following the instructions I got the "Differs" warning and continued and it finished. When I plugged the phone into XS++ then did the CDA refresh then it gets stuck at "Activating GDFS" . Software firmware/mbn+fbn:

Profiling SEMC phone...
03:29:19| Platform: DB2020
03:29:19| OTP CID: 51
03:29:19| EROM CID: 52
03:29:19| EROM Color: Red
03:29:19| IMEI: 35220801xxxxxx
03:29:19| Phone ID: K790
03:29:19| Region: CENT_EUROPE
03:29:19| CDA: CDA102511/2 R6A
03:29:19| Firmware Version: R8BA024
03:29:19| EROM: R3A022
03:29:19| Ready for operation!

Hack doesn't work on "special" K790a phones. As well these "special" phones don't work with the R8BA024 firmware. You get a "No Network Coverage" warning, chaning the system from 3G/GSM to GSM only will freeze your phone. Fortunately after you remove the battery and replace it and restart the phone again GSM is selected. Plug the handset into the wall to charge you get "Alien Battery" message. It does charge though.

Its a good phone but no unlock. I don't know if I want to fork over the money to have someone unlock it for me cause they'll use the same firmware and patch as above to do it. Lots of people who have posted issues with unlocks is their phone saying its a K800 and having the above issues. If I cannot get it to work then oh well. I still have my unlocked RAZR so I can use that one overseas.

But for those who do want to try it out and I think you should cause you have a good chance is not to forget the following:

BACK UP YOUR GDFS BEFORE YOU BEGIN OR ELSE YOUR SCREWED IF YOU PHONE GOES DEAD (WHITE SCREEN FLASH AND OFF AGAIN) OF DOESN'T POWER UP (AFTER PATCHING WITH QUICK_ACCESS OR UNLOCK)!!!!

My original GDFS back up has brought my phone back all the time. For some reason flashing the phone with R1JC002 requires me to restore my GDFS or else it wont boot past the first screen. You'll get a "Please Wait" with a progress bar but after the phone reboots again you cannot turn it on.

I was able to unlock an ATT W580i before, but I've been trying on another one and for some reason I can't apply the patch. When it ask to "Apply the patch, press No", I press No, and then I get another question box "Some value are not the same, click Yes to continue"...clicking yes or no, results the phone to be dead and unable to turn on and then I would have to reflash to revive the phone. Anyone else have this problem?

Posted by: webterractive

Thats the same issue that I have. I've read somewhere that some phones might require you to edit some stuff. But it should be pretty straight through. Its because that those values differ its the reason that the phone firmware gets all screwed and you have to either re-install the working firmware or restore to the GDFS.

I installed the custompack that has the Spanish language but still only english shows up.

Which firmwares should I use for everything to be in Spanish?

I have debranded and flashed the phone and trying to unlock it, but it doesn't seem to work. Ill try later tonight.

I used these files:
W580_R8BA024_FS_C_ASIA_RED52
W580_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52
W580_CDA102568_107_R8A_GENERIC_AMERICA_2

Posted by: webterractive

Try it again using XS++ but don't check anything just make sure the phone is K790 and using the bottom options change the CDA and see the left hand window and it should tell you some languages, it will look like something like this: en,cf,d,es "es" is spanish.

Posted by: 0mie

Well I flashed it and unlocked it FINALLY, but I can't for the life of me get SPANISH on the FREAKING phone

I'm getting really upset right now. lol

hey!
i want to get the sony ericsson k800i from europe.
does it work perfectly in canada if i unlock it?
also can i use video calling ,internet,caller id on it without any problems?

i need some help asap.
thank you

Posted by: webterractive

Then the fbn file you used doesn't support spanish. You see my fbn file has only english french and spanish for phone language. But it can write in portugese, spanish and english, but no french which is a phone language on the phone. Try this firmware:

R1JG001 and use CDA xxxx/302

Posted by: webterractive

K800i will work in Canada.

and if so,3g works good with rogers too?

Posted by: webterractive

Yes I pretty much do, I use a K790a which is pretty much a K800 sans the 3G. And yes you can use any 900/1900Mhz supporting GSM phone with Rogers Wireless. As for the 3G you can download using the 3G radio, but I think you need to subscribe for that.

iknow its a tri nand phone but i called up rogers and techinal support said if i unlock the phone n put the rogers sim in it i might not be able to use some features.i just remembered i unlocked my old phone brought from europe and the internet didnt work on it but i didnt pay much attention to that back then...
if i cant use all the feautures on the phone im not getting it:S

Posted by: webterractive

Yes Rogers features like the music player that's the same one that you have but isn't Rogers branded, and their links which you can find online and setup yourself. The 3G service will work if your phone is capable. Its your call though. I've flashed mine to generic with nothing Rogers and its also unlocked and everything works. Just like it used to. But if you don't believe me (Rogers customer since 1999) then you can purchse the equivalent to your phone which is the K790a for $129.99 on a 3 year contract. Then you can see it working exactly as yours would have.

Does this work with w800i?

Posted by: Ba(na)2

A few noobie questions:
1) does this work with all SE w580i's, more specifically, the North American version?
2) will older versions of each of those programs listed (i.e. XS++) work?
3) if not, are there free versions of each available? i keep running into torrent sites that ask me to pay a membership fee
4) is there another link for simlockpatchgen2? because that link is dead as far as i can tell
5) is there any way AT&T (or their corporate stores scattered about) will unlock my SE w580i for me, or will they just look at me like im retarded for buying their phone and then wanting it unlocked so i can use another provider

overall im just looking to find the easiest, most effective way to allow my phone to accept the simcard of another provider.
i've looked up trying to 'unlock' a phone but i find things from debranding, to using an imei number (which won't work for me anyway since my phone's at&t simcard was deactivated). there are a lot of terms im just not getting.

Posted by: BlueCalx

welcome ba(na)2....

to answer:
1) This will work on any w580, because it's db2020.
2) Not sure, but you can d/l xs++ 3.1 here: link
3) -
4) PM me

5) Instead of going to a corp store, read this thread.

I'd try the link in 5) first.. AT&T might give you the code pretty quickly. I got the unlock code from them for a w300i a while back. I didn't even buy it from them (but it was att locked).

Posted by: Ba(na)2

i would do the thing in "5)" but my sim card's been deactivated, the real story is that my parents went with t-mobile since they have a friend who hooked them up with a better deal, so i can't call to have my phone unlocked since i can't connect to anything with my SE. Going to the corporate store down the street won't work either since my phone says "inactive smartchip" across the top of the screen.

Posted by: webterractive

K800 works in the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. If the telephone is unlocked then there shouldn't be an issue. The reason the internet didn't work for the guy who asked this question is because you didn't have the links setup. Every network operator has a specific web address that you need to set up in the "Data Communications" of the phone. When these settings are setup then the phone will work with the operators connection. For example mine are setup for Rogers AT&T. The original SE Links don't really work unless you configure an internet connection profile.

Posted by: webterractive

The inactive smart chip means that your sim card is no longer active. I have one that I use for my stored phone numbers. It just means that you need to get a working sim card. If you telephone has a "5" its nothing. As long as the icon that the "5" is beside (little lock) is unlocked then you can fit a Pay_as_you_Go card or any other WORKING sim card (smartchip) in it.

Posted by: webterractive

For DB2020 phones all you really need is the SEtool+Simlock software thats it. No need to do the quick patch trick, its just a waste of time. All you do is make your patch using Simlock software, and then with that .vkp file you use your phone firmware main file (.mbn) and flash your phone using SEtool making sure you check the box that says bypass DB2020 security.

Posted by: Ba(na)2

so would you suggest trying to get a pay as you go simcard and then going and asking them to unlock it for me since im totally new to flashing and i have no idea what you just said heh...

Posted by: webterractive

You can use a pay as you go card with the carrier you got the phone from. To unlock it if its locked thats another thing.

To check phone status try this: >*<<*<* Then navigate to Service Info and you should Simlock and see if your network has an unlocked lock icon. Something like the first post from WPG204 who posted his pictures after unlocking a K790 phone.

Posted by: Ba(na)2

well im probably mixing up terminologies. i mean use a pay-as-you-go simcard and then having them debrand it semi-legitimately so i can "go on vacation to another country," as it were and use another carrier's simcard.

i just want to be able to use a t-mobile simcard on my SE, since i prefer the SE i bought as opposed the the samsung my parents got me with the new plan they decided for us

Posted by: biruru

Ok i need some help, when i get to the XS++ part

Load up the software and click Connect.

Remove the battery, re-insert battery, and then connect it to the USB cable whilst holding down the C button.

Ignore Flash File System and Main Firmware.

Instead, click on the third box (Customize File System)

Select phone model to K800

But i can't find my phone model W580i, how do you guys do it with your w580i?

Posted by: craigie1234

I'm trying to use SETOOLS but im struggling with the W580i too!

thank you for looking

Posted by: mansrow

im not certain but u have a CID53 and so did i. i guess the best thing to do now is to buy the unlock code from ebay. plus, u might wanna edit ur post to delete the IMEI. not sure how safe is it to let everyone know it.

Posted by: craigie1234

Hi & thanks Mansrow, i got this message from another forum from a Sony Ericsson Expert:

CID53 is your problem. that guide will only work with cid52 phones and there is no way to downgrade the CID.

it will need a csca unlock now which costs. take it to an independant shop and see if thay can unlock it for you

dont know if this will help you also - guess the phone is going on a trip to my local unlock shop - thanks your reply

no worries. me too stuck with this phone. im thinking of going to ebay and get the code for $10. wat u think mate?

Posted by: Ba(na)2

how would you search for a local, independent shop? any keywords that should be put into a google search for example?

Posted by: isleepinadrawer

i just tried this with my 580i and got to the

Flashing will begin. After a while, it will ask you to remove the cable, remove the battery, re-insert battery, click READY and then re-connect it to the USB cable whilst holding down the C button.

did that...but it wouldnt pick up the phone...so i had to push stop

now the phone wont even turn on????

Posted by: webterractive

You have to wait when you do that, your phone didn't execute the patch so now its sort of bricked with wet cement. You need to re-run the firmware loading again to make it work. Then do everything you just did execpt disconnect the phone because you don't think its recognized. You need to read and it will tell you to wait, just let it do its thing cause this process requires the phone to execute the patch, and then re-firmware you main phone firmware file.

Posted by: isleepinadrawer

yeh i cant even flash it anymore...or let alone recgonize it in xs++

i actually just sent it back to SE...hopefully they can just reflash it...and i'll use the code this time to unlock

edit: Just wanted to give a heads up on what I did to unlock my w580i, by looking at the CDA I saw that the w850 settings with APAC had the same CDA number and flashed it with that. Unplugged the usb cable, took out the battery and then re-instered it with a vodaphone sim I used last time I was in London and it booted up just fine.

So if you have a w580 and get confused at not seeing the option in XS++ use the w850 as your phone and just make sure the CDA numbers match up and you should be good.

For w580i AT&T/Cingular in America:

For the SETool2Lite debranding and unlocking: I used:

(make sure you 'Check the DB2020 box')

W580_CDA102568_107_R8A_GENERIC_AMERICA_2 (customer pack)
W580_R8BE001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52 (file system)
W580_R8BE001_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52 (main)

For XS++ when using the the above files, I used the K790, so that I could match up the CDA102568/107 number, (see below)

14:28:25| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
14:28:35| ~~~~~~~~~~ Custpack information ~~~~~~~~~~
14:28:35| Custpack: AMERICA_2 (CDA102568/107) (K790)
14:28:35| Generic(non-branded) custpack: No
14:28:35| Allowed languages: en, pb, xl,
14:28:35| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm greedy and sure wished you could un-brand and unlock at the same time. There is probably a way, but I'm no hacker.

All is well, I missed the post about not doing the file system (FS) if you don't want to lose anything, had to reload all my themes and stuff.
To confirm for others, if you do this tut without the FS, does the unlock still work?
Hey, as obvious as it seems to others, don't forget where the power button on the w580i is. I was flashing to unbrand a new w580i (never seen one before) and didn't even know they had a power button . After the flash, nothing happened when I put the battery back in. I figured I was doing the flashes wrong (I kept holding the 'c' button for it to power up). For hours I'm flashing and reflashing the darn thing until the 'duh' light

went on and I pressed the power button on the back shell. I'm posting this tidbit of info to provide some comic relief for others.

So, I'm all hooked up, thanks to the OP and all the posts with bits of help!!!

Posted by: maebach

I cant figure out what FS and MAIN files to use to unlock a k790. The tutorial shows the person using R8BA024 which is a k800i FW.

After looking at this post:
http://www.howardforums.com/showpos...896&postcount=2

Im beginning to think that the k790a is suppose to use:

K790_R6BC002_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52.rar
K790_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_EV_RED52.rar

Is that right? Are those the 2 files I need?

erm... I tried this and it had no effect. My phone was exactly the same. Everything unlocked but the Network.

Phone model and CID ???

Posted by: Navin50

sony ericsson w580i (rogers)

cid 53

i think its cause of the cid 53

Posted by: xphoneguyx

Ok... Thank You all for this wonderful post....

The process is 100% but nobody said you could not use nothing less than
setools v1.11..... After 6 1/2 hours I figured out that you cannot use anything less than setool lte 1.11!!!

My W580i Was All Unlocked Except The NETWORK!@!@! After Using SeT 1.11 and followed all steps, remembering to click bypass db2020.. then xs++ using the "Own_Custpack" method it unlocked and worked great... I am impressed with Se... I cannot believe how many times I flashed this phone without bricking it... if it was a nokia, it would be DONE!

It ******ed me all up!!! everything worked great no errors, un-branded - beautiful but the freakin network was still locked, even the flash packs came pre packed with ver 1.08... NO GO! D/l 1.11 and bam works great.....

Props to pugs - OP Bless You!!..... thanks!

I unlocked my Fido SE Z710i using this method. Going to Europe in two weeks, what a saver!

Hi guys. it's a nice tutorial. I got my w580 unlocked in early July. Recently, I had found the keypad is broken and i sent it back to SE to fix. And, when I got the phone back, they locked my phone again. I tried all the steps I did for before and now I can't unlock it anymore, does anyone of you know why?

I am not too sure at this point. but seems like it's changed

EROM colour: RED

when I unlocked it the very first time.. it said "Pink" not red. I guess SE people caught me in unlocking the phone? not sure... it's jsut weird that I was only sending my phone back to SE to change to a new keypad but why would they need to lock my phone back ><

Hi, can anyone confirm please, does it work with K850i? thank you.

Doesn't work with K850. Thats a whole different platform.

As for the other posts above, yes the phone is now CID53.

Are you absolutely sure you didn't miss this step:
Now, in the MISC files area, browse to the VKP file that was created before ...

Try doing the operation all over again, following each step. Print it out and put a check mark on each step as you go through it.

Posted by: webterractive

If you followed the steps then don't worry about the SIM lock, it's a funny behavior it appears locked then unlocked.

I dont understand on my phone it says "insert correct sim card" what can i do?

Posted by: dankdank11

this is pimp,in the end it took me 1 day to finish unlocking my w580i.this is due to me not getting setools1.1,instead i got 1.08,which didnt work.once i finally got baked i realized where i ent wrong,after that it was bout 11 minutes all together.
just follow directions and you will not encounter any worries,
thanks to all that got this

Fill out your profile, and state here what phone model/make/CID/Provider and re-read the first few pages of this thread, then read pages 16, 17, 18.

Hold the 'c' button down until the program finds your phone, you can then release the 'c' button. I personally leave the cable plugged into the phone, and use the usb end to insert and remove the cable, much easier.

When you use SETOOL2LITE, it will read off what your CID is. Try and only use w580 files with your w580, not any others.

For CID52 in North America, I'm pretty sure these are the files you are looking for:
W580_CDA102568_107_R8A_GENERIC_AMERICA_2 (customer pack)
W580_R8BE001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52 (file system)
W580_R8BE001_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52 (main)

Can any others that are on the Rogers network confirm this?
Thanks, Dylan

Note: if you flash the FS, you will lose all your info, back up everything.

Please help.

Just To Clarify... The w580 method has been working great... I went through these post again... and Im trying to find out for sure if the method is exactly the same????

1) do you use different files for the w300i?
2) in set00l do you select w300? or different models?

Please clarify the files and settings for w300i....
I hate to ruin the streak and brick one.....

Help Greatly Appreciated!!!!

Peace!

Hi all,

I've read through this thread and I'm trying to figure out how to unlock my Rogers w810i phone. I guess the first step is trying to find the right firmware, has anyone who has done a w810i tell me what version I need? (I don't want it unbranded)

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I've tried many forums across the net just to unlock the K750i, but no such luck. You could understand my desperation by me replying here, but I need some help here. Please can anybody help me? thanks.

Posted by: thenokiaguru

just a quick question, read through this but confused. can i unlock the w580i? and what files do i need for the uk.

Posted by: TheDoctah

W580 is/was definitely capable of being unlocked. However, its been a while since I've payed attention to this stuff. Last I checked your revision had to be CID52 or lower. If you have one of the newer CID53 versions you are out of luck.

As for firmware, any of the firmwares will work in the UK since the phone is quadband and you will be unlocking it.

Hi Guys,

I have W580i trying to get it unlocked. But I am stuck at the first instruction:

First of all you need to create the unlock patch

Load up the software and then select the MAIN firmware you wish to make the unlock patch from (I presume that this can be any but I chose the K800_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52.mbn), it should auto detect which phone it is for and the firmware version.

Can someone tell me where do the firmware reside? Do we have to download them or it came with these software. For example, how can I choose K800_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52.mbn like what the OP suggested?

Thanks very much!

+1 ! I download all the software and unZipped them, but ......

I also have W580i from Rogers that I am trying to unlock so that I can use it in Asia , but I don't know which firmware is right for me. All I know is that I want to keep everything the same as it is now, just change the SIM card to any network. I also found out that my cellphone is Week 32 of 2007 , is unlocking those ones any different than unlocking newer/older ones ?
Also , OP didn't state if this is a USB cable unlock , or need a special cable.

Any clarification is appreciated fellas...

By the way I called Rogers 3 times, and 3 different people refused to give me the unlock code after I explained to them my relocation situation. @#$@%$!@$#

What's the error message? Is the phone CID53? Setool and XS won' let you get too far if your phone is cid53.

From what I've heard from others on this thread, is that sometimes the phone will still show locked, but in reality, it is unlocked. Get a friends AT&T sim and put it in your T-Mobile w580i and see if works.

Posted by: mopdo

Hey, thanks for the tut! it's really nice, I hope it works for me also.
But I was just wondering: I'm at the step, flashing the phone in SEtool2, and when I put the cable in the phone, while holding "C", I hold the C for a long time, and let it go, but it still says "Hold "C" and insert USB cable!" in the program. Is that what its supposed to say until you are finished flashing, or haven't I plugged it in right?
And how long am I supposed to wait for it to finish? Is there going to appear some text in the text field in the program after a while? cause I had it in for 7580 sec's yesterday, and I pressed STOP, since I didn't think it was working, there wasn't even anything in the text field, only the "welcome to SEtool2....loaded 51 flash descriptors, blabla.."

Put someone else's sim (from a different GSM network) in your phone and see if it works. It's been stated in this thread that sometimes it really is unlocked, but the phone doesn't show it.

Posted by: archeoptryx

I'm getting some odd behaviour with setool2: During the flash procedure, when it tells me to disconnect the phone, remove the battery and click "Ready", I do so. I then hold the C button and connect the usb as usual. As soon as I do this, it says "CID52 BYPASS PROCEDURE FINISHED" in the log window. However, in the status window below, it still says "Hold 'C' and insert USB Cable !".

The progress bar moves across the screen at a steady rate, jumping back to the left side when it reaches the end, like it does when it is waiting for me to connect. I've left it for over half an hour and I don't think anything is happening. I watched a video tutorial and when they reconnected at that point it immediately went into the next phase of the flash. Any idea what could be wrong?

I am flashing a z710i from Fido with "Z710_R1EF001_MAIN_GENERIC_CN_RED52.mbn" and the associated .vkp file. I'm not using an FS file. Any idea what the problem is? My log file is attached.

***UPDATE***
I eventually got tired of waiting, so I just disconnected the phone, removed the battery, held C and connected it again. It launched right into the flashing procedure. Not sure why I needed to do it twice.

I HAVE A CID 53 W580I I KNOW HOW TO FLASH IT WITH JDFLASHER NOW..is there any frim ware that will patch unlock or unlock the network lock on the phone?? if so .. how do i do it

Posted by: carlsbad0331

Well, I used the instructions (followed very carefully) on the first page and got so far as SE Tool doing its thing. Now when I try to take the next step and connect in XS ++ the program times out and there is nothing I can do to get the phone recognized.
If I remove the phone and put a sim in it, and turn it on it says that there is a configuration error and that I need to contact the service provider or take it to a service center.
I have read through this entire thread now, and I havent found anyone else that has this issue.
The phone is a w580i from ATT.
Thank you in advance,

The website won't load? I am using Mozilla Firefox on a Mac, will the program run on a mac?

Edit: Won't open on Safari on my mac either but I can load any other page, it doesn't load with IE 7 on Windows Vista either.

Posted by: mt_ts

No, the software (such as XS++) won't work on a mac, and if you're wondering if this can help you unlock your W910i you mentioned in the other thread, I'm sorry to say it won't work. The sim lock patch generator does not work with A2 phones such as your W910i. In fact, AFAIK there is no "free" way to unlock A2 phones.

EDIT: you'll have better luck getting it unlocked locally, $20-30 is a reasonable price to have it done

Posted by: ikermalli

Okay, thank you for the information.

There is a free way to unlock phones, using A2 uploader. Here's a link for a site to help you: http://akshayy.com/sonyericsson/

Hi All!

I have a brand new, unopened Rogers branded W580i (gray coloured one).

I read this thread thru 21 pages and I understand what to do with de-branding and unlocking.

I just have a few general questions:

(1) According to the thread: http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...ht=w580i+unlock , it states it is only for de-branding the phone, since patch-unlock (this thread) will unlock the phone, and re-lock when debranded, I think I should do the de-branding, then do the unlock, correct? Because is unlock required for de-branding, or no?

(2) According to the thread: http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...hreadid=1333773 , it lists the latest North American Firmware to be: W580i R8BE001 AMERICAS_2 ; can I use that or should I just use the W580i R8BA024 - C_ASIA firmware?

(3) Regarding the internet settings, MMS, etc. Can it be reconfigured after de-branding? Will de-branding affect sending and receiving text messages?

Posted by: Karthigan

In regards to my previous post, I sucessfully debranded & unlocked W580i supplied thru Rogers.

I accessed the Service Menu via: > * < < * < * on the phone, using "*" & "D-Pad". Accessing the following: Service > Service info > SIM lock

I have the following values:

Network [unlocked lock icon] 5
Network subset [unlocked lock icon] 5
Service provider [unlocked lock icon] 5
Corporate [unlocked lock icon] 5
Extended [unlocked lock icon] 5

Since in Canada there is only 2 GSM providers, FIDO or Rogers, I tried both SIMs and it worked perfectly.

Thus, it still leaves wondering, though, that Rogers bought FIDO over, so, I am not they set the parameters to allow the phone to work in both networks, whether it is a locked phone or not.

Still need to check with a US-Based SIM

One recommendation I would make to all of you who are attempting:

- Do it on a PC with WIN XP PRO /w SP3 , clean install
- If you are using a laptop, make sure the AC cord is plugged-in
- Do not run any other applications (in the background even) when the FLASHING process starts
- DO NOT TRY IT ON VISTA-32, VISTA-64 or Windows 7, there seem to be a problem with the applications, (SETools Lite, DS++, etc.)

ok so I am trying to follow the guide on the first page and I dont see anywhere in the SETOOL to bypass security, and I keep getting an error.....Block @ $44740000 read error. have only: 00000000 bytes..... can someone please help me? I know what I need to do but I literally dont have that option anywhere in the SETool lite screen. Thanks

after more research I discovered the source of my problem... I have downloaded 3 different versions of setool lite and NONE of them have the 2 selection boxes beside the phone model selection drop down. That is why I could not click on the bypass security box... it is not there. Any ideas?

Now I figured out that if I select the phone model as k800 the bypass security box appears, but I get this error.

my phone is w810 locked to rogers, if i select w810 the bypass box is not there.

ok I really need some

here:

Phone: SE K750i (I assume Phone has the latest firmware installed, ran it through Sony's update service and no updates were found. I am not sure if the phone is CID36 or CID49 though?)

1. I want to unlock my K750i (from Orange) hopefully using this thread.
2. Then I want to Flash it to the W800 firmware. (This firmware file i have)

I have downloaded all the software as instructed - but I am stuck at the first hurdle - looks like I need the K750i firmware file to get started. I have searched and searched and probably missed where this firmware file is but I just can't find it anywhere in google/torrents etc.

any help appreciated.

Hello Guys,
I spend last two weeks to understand how to unlock my Sony W580 that is locked to Rogers in canada. I read so much that I did exectly what the tutorial instructed. After trying 2/3 times I got same results. Under SIM LOCK I have everything unlocked (number 5 and the little lock is unlock) except Network. Its shows number 8 and the little lock is locked. I don' t know what I am doing wrong. I tried two different way in 3 times but same results. Everything unlocked except Network.

Please guys help me out. this is my last place to get help.
