Free Unlock Sony Ericsson db2020 Phones
Jan 14
This is about unlocking your db2020 phone
DB2020 phones are k530 k550 k610 k770 k790 k800 k810 and w580 w610 w660 w710 w830 w850 w880 etc. You can find out if your phone is db2020 or not form the secret service menu.
To enter the secret service menu use this sequence of key strokes at phone standby screen -> * <- <- * <- *
Where -> is right arrow on keypad and <- is left arrow on keypad and * is the button below 7 and left of 0.
Then in Enter Service Info and then Software Info and then look out for EROM. If you see db2020 in the EROM name. Then your phone is a DB2020 phone and you can unlock it with this tutorial.
We will unlock the phone using a patch. The unlock patch will unlock your phone.
Simox has released a unlock patch generator which will generate one for your phone. Download Simox Unlock patch generator. Or download it from our mirror.
Download your phone’s Main firmware from Topse Or Topsony Or From 4shared folder . You can check out Main firmware name and version in the service menu. You can download your phone’s Main Firmware from here.
After you download the Main Firmware for your phone, Drag and drop the main firmware on simox unlock patch generator. It will now generate a unlock for your phone.
Apply the generated unlock VKP patch using SeTool 2 lite !! Bingo ! your phone is now unlocked !
Please follow This tutorial to learn how to apply patch, so that you can make use of the free unlock patch that you get from simox’s progmar ! The unlock patch is just like any other patch. You can follow the tutorial there to apply your unlock patch.
Please be kind enough to Donate SIMOX for his unlock patch generator

can u tell me where i can download firmware k550i R6BC002 APAC or CHINA_LI R6BC002 ?
thanks
Jan 17 at 12:53
i don’t have that now
i have k550 main, and its k550 main that you need to unlock your phone.
Also if you have a k550 then its recommenced to flash it to w610i and also unlock it
i have w610 APAC Firmware.
Please Check out the topics in CorssFlashing Section
Its got a tutorial on how to flash k550 to w610
Jan 19 at 05:57
This unlocking method, will erase every data on my phone? And by unlocking it, does it means i can use it with all the GSM operators i want, or just deletes de locking code?
Jan 19 at 06:05
another question, if my phone is a k550 flashed to a w610, wich main should i use? i tried with the w610 and i couldnt do it
Jan 19 at 08:05
no i won’t erase any data because you are flashing only the Main , yes after unlocking you can use phone with any GSM operator. you should use w610i main and it works with w610 main
.. we can fix it don’t worry
which is your main firmware ??
it has unlocked many w610 phones, you must hv got something wrong
Jan 19 at 08:41
I know I should post this in CrossFlashing - k550i @ w610i but I think here it has a better possibility to be noticed.XD
How big is the risk of killing the phone, if I do everything properly (I mean ask expets’ help)?
Jan 19 at 08:48
no there is no chance to kill phone. warning is provided just in case .. i mean if something goes wrong then you should not file a suit against use in court .. so we write that Terms of Agreement !!
LOL
Jan 19 at 09:16
I think it would be a bit hard to find your real identity to charge in court.;)
Other question: if I use secret menu on my k550i, I can see
R1JD001
prgCXC1250669_GENERIC_LI_R1JD001
…
and in Customization paragraph I see CENT_EUROPE
what information can I ‘extract’ from this? (How can I understand it?)
Jan 19 at 09:37
That means you live in Central Europe.
You must use a CENT_EUROPE FS. But you can use any FS, because all FS have English language, CENT ERUOPE FS has only central European languages.
You must use FS which has language you want.
All FS have english language. Please see the k550 flashing tutorial for more info on this and a language list.
R1JD001 is your firmware version, other numbers and just number. don’t matter much.
Jan 20 at 03:57
Thanks
Now I can see the unlocked icon in service menu.
Jan 20 at 19:12
i have k550i locked on orange (i’m in UK) My phone secret menu shows R6CA001. I’m not sure how i can unlock my phone. your tutorial here and on thinkdigit describes more abt flashing to w660i. but i just want to unlock k550i. I’m not able to find Main firmware for this.
thanks.
Jan 20 at 19:22
download R6BC002 , put that firmware in phone. then unlock.. simple
method to up that firmware is same as flashing to w610. wht’s ur email id .. next time bttr specify it correctly
Jan 21 at 03:58
I have a W610 that has the following:
Firmware Version: R6BC002
EROM: R3A022(simlock_flafla_sibley)
I cannot get it to unlock, even when I try to apply the simox vkp patch. Can anyone assist?
Thanks
Jan 21 at 12:32
hey is there a way i can make my w610 play louder will playing thru speakers?
Jan 21 at 14:41
spranga .. ! this way of unlocking works.. you made some mistake. please read tutorial again..!!
dree .. hey you can get louder volume by changing acoustics .. plzz check acoustics section here in this tutorial

Jan 21 at 16:57
Akshay,
when I try to apply the patch the following error is received:
Blocks selected OK. Reading blocks: 2
Block @ $44140000 read error. Have only: 00000000 bytes
I looked over the tutorial. If you can give me any insight on what might be wrong, please do.
Thanks
Jan 21 at 17:07
hmm mail me the patch which u are using.
also mail me your phone details. mail your log also
to mail use this link

Jan 22 at 12:02
Hello,
I want to unlock K550i (do not want to change it to walkmen series) I’m not able to find firmware for the same. My phone series is R6CA001 locked on Orange UK. can you point me to a link where from i can download the main firmware?
Jan 22 at 16:24
sorry for the late reply
you can get from flash k550 to w610 tutorial .. its got links to k550 firmwares also .. check out hgetis collection
Jan 23 at 07:50
thanks for the pointer. but the hgetis collection lists files for R6BC002 whereas my mobile secret menu shows R6CA001? where from i can find firmware for the same?
Jan 23 at 08:33
naa you can flash in the R6BC002 into your phone using XS++ as mentioned in tutorial
just follow the w610i flashing guide.. but use R6BC002 Firmware.. put that firmware into your phone and unlock it .. its because for your firmware there is no unlock patch.. also its not available easily .. you hv to buy R6CA001 from topsony.
so use R6BC002

my id is every_one_says@iamcrazy.in
Jan 24 at 08:06

Jan 24 at 21:36
I followed the steps but i think somewhere it went wrong.. phone dropped dead so i tried 2+5 thing but nothing happend.. i will try to come online have to install latest messanger first.

Jan 28 at 18:26
Hello Akshay,
Thanks for your help. I can now use my phone.
One more thing. I tried to generate unlock patch using SimLockpatchGen using Main firmware. When trying to apply the patch using Setool I’m getting error.
Going to execute VKP script….
ChipID:9900,EMP protocol:0301
PHONE IS RED RETAIL PRODUCT
FLASH CID detected:52
Speed:921600
Trying to launch embedded bootloader…
embedded flashloader not responds !
Do i have to ADD main FS as well? I’m not going to apply any more patches just unlock. so i think Quick Access Patch is not relevant to me..
Jan 30 at 10:39
hey akshayy what is meant by -> is right arrow on keypad and <- is left arrow on keypad .on mobile where the left arrow key and right arrow key.there is just a knob which can be pushed in four direction.
Jan 30 at 10:44
right that only use it to .. i mean the joystick
in k790 instead of D Pad you have joystick
press the combination correct
Jan 30 at 18:19
Hello Akshayy da how are you?
Please can you tell me what is meant by standby screen.i can’t understand.
Jan 30 at 18:30
One more question today please.for flashing or for applying patches unloking the db2020 is etential?for what unloking is needed?unlocking the phone means what?for getting megabass on my se k790i is it necceesary to unlock the phone?
Jan 30 at 19:49
Standby screen is shown when you have your phone on, but you are not in any menu, so you see background, clock, date and such things, it is like desktop in Windows, just without shortcuts.
Jan 30 at 19:57
As far as I know unlocking is not necessary, but enabling VKP patching is: check your firmware version, -> * <- <- * <- *, service info, software info, and there the first line; if it is R6BC002 then no prob, if it isn’t then update it with Sony Ericsson Update Service. Then follow http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/applying-patches-for-db2020-phone/ and copy & paste the right patch in the tutorial for your firmware in an empty file, rename it to vkp extension, and write the script as the tutorial says with SeTool 2. Do it exactly as it says, because not doing it in a proper way ruins the main firmware…Be careful with it.
Jan 30 at 20:00
Oh and enable Quick-Access Patch as the tutorial says.
Jan 30 at 20:35
rajesh!
Create the Quick Access Patch first, exactly as the tutorial says (patching tutorial) And than apply the patch also as it says, that way it should work.
Quick-Access Patch is necessary to bypass the phone’s security Quickly, it would take eternity…
(and this is my 4th post in one go XD)
Feb 03 at 01:02
oh dear i think my phone is dead it wont start up
Feb 03 at 08:00
hey jim you would hv done something wrong like selecting wrong phone or not not selecting db2020 security byypass during quick access apply
or something like that
now do a ful reflash of main .. see thishttp://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/flash-firmwaredebrand-with-xs/
yeah and u don’t need to do full reflash of fs and custopack .. u do only main reflash
Feb 03 at 14:02
right i manged to fix my phone by seus but now i have the software info R6CA001
I am now looking to unlock this phone but cant find this file anywhere
could someone point me in the right direction please?
many thnaks
Feb 03 at 14:24
thanks akshay
can i flash my phone with any R6***1?
I SEE R6CB001 ETC but nothing about the R6CA
Should i go back to the start and is it possible?
many thanks
Feb 03 at 22:37
hi having a bit of a nightmare tried it loads of times but bootloader doesnt respond
followed all instructions with first
if i do the bypass dbo20 then it kills my phone
have to reboot with seus again
whats going wrong please?
i am following all instructions to the book
please help many thanks
Feb 05 at 18:05
Hi there,
I’m having the exact same problem as Spranga was the message - Block @ $44140000 read error. Have only: 00000000 bytes
When it does go finish, it won’t accept my Vodafone card.
I did follow your instructions pretty exactly.
Thanks,
Alex
Feb 05 at 18:20
hey alex there is a mismatch between main and patch .. create the patch for Main with will be flashed into phone after db2020 bypass ..
also i am pretty sure you are not Ticking Right option like Quick Access while patching
if you follow it correctly then you won’t have any problems
because this is how unlocking is done and many guys have unlocked their db2020 who followed the tutorial carefully
try again carefully .. if you are busy then take out time on week end and follow carefully
especially the options and the button and firmwares
regards
Feb 05 at 18:20
use this link to get your main firmware
http://sek750.extra.hu/letoltes/?path=./Firmware/
Feb 05 at 20:41
I’m not totally sure about that, Akshay.
I have read about a guy on a forum who flashed his phone with XS++ and did a few things then he flashed it with SEUS. And since then, he couldn’t open his phone with XS++ and other software, I guess because of SEUS, so it sure is a bad idea to use it after crossflashing and other stuff.
Feb 06 at 22:32
is there a way to unlock PNX5230 in a similar way to this unlock of db2020 ??
Feb 07 at 03:38
Hello Ashkay,
I seem to have run into a problably before actually starting at all, in that I can’t seem to find the firmware for the W580i (R7AC001 EROM:R3A022)…can I get some help or a link?
Feb 07 at 09:04
i will see .. probably not for PNX5230
w580 u can use R6BC002 Firmware for all purposes
you can get it from
check out firmware section and search for w580 main here

Feb 08 at 03:40

hey AKSHAY ! plzz help Me with the main Fs of W710_R1JC002_FS_S_ASIA_LEVAN_CID52 .plzz dude .. I really need it to falsh my phone .. plz help me with that ..
Feb 16 at 17:15
sory for the repost .. i just wanted to ask u .can I use the main generic fs instead of S_asia-levan?
Feb 16 at 17:46
BENOZ:
In that case we have to repair the EROM. And now here we will discuss the easiest way to fix it.
Using SeTool2 lite 1.11 we can fix this problem by this way.
1. Start SeTool 2 lite
2. Press Unlock\Repair Button, The first button.
3. Reinsert Battery
4. Connect phone holding 2+5
5. Wait, SeTool 2 lite will repair the EROM, it will flash it back.
6. Done
Now you can start your phone.
DONT FORGET TO SAY THANX TO AKSHAY.

Feb 27 at 07:26
Hi Akshay,
I did the procedure you have mentioned for unlocking my T-Mobile network locked phone. Actually i did software upgrade for the previous unlocked phone, hence got locked. I didn’t get any error messages in the whole process of appling the unlock patch. But finally my phone when switched on gives a white screen blinking on regular intervals. I restored the GDFS using XS++ . But no use… same condition…. Any idea what might be the problem… Please let me know your views…
Feb 27 at 16:31
go for a full reflash of FS and Main
Mar 01 at 19:09
IS IT 100% guaranteed to work on k770i as i did check that it is a DB2020 phone so PLEASE can you reassure me that nothing will go wrong if i follow your steps
P.S. can i have a quick reply as I’m hoping to unlock today
Mar 01 at 19:20
what makes you think it does not work ??
it will work !! its guaranteed !
things might go wrong … if you make mistake
phone permanently might die.. it happens 1 out of 100 times ..
Mar 01 at 19:23
so if something does go wrong what will i need to do to fix it
Mar 01 at 19:37
I can’t find my main firmware anywhere, it’s R8AE001
Mar 01 at 19:41
if something goes wrong then in most cases can be fixed by full reflash or some other dangerous stuff
but some cases its gone for good .. in which case you get it replaced for free
now main firmware for that only on Topse or pay on topsony
use its english reigistartion site
see the download page
http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/download
Mar 01 at 20:02
I went onto your link but i still cant find it, so can you please fin it and post a link like you did before
Mar 01 at 21:41
Then just flash a different main firware (phone type MUST match). Like you can use K550i with W610i Main and K550i FS. Also the firmware version doesn’t count too much…
Besides, http://sek750.extra.hu/letoltes/?path=./Firmware/K770/R8BA024/
this is even newer than the one you have.
Mar 02 at 17:53
Do you have a tutorial for Sony Ericcson w300i? I’m desperate!!
Mar 02 at 18:01
yeah wrote that just today .. check out tutorial section
Mar 03 at 11:09
Can u please provide me with FS and MAIN firmware for K800i… R1KG001.. I couldn’t find it the links you have mentioned…
Mar 03 at 12:19
you can certainly find one in Topse Russia yaar
i live in India where bandwidth restrictions are hell ! ok ?? i can’t upload them and host them .. i don’t have enough cash for it
so please download from Topse Russia .. link to english registration given in Download Section
Mar 03 at 12:20
yes you can use any Main … since you will be flashing it in anyway .. so that becomes your main firmware .. LOL !
remember the 400 and odd flash blocks put into phone while unlocking ?? that’s the flash
Mar 07 at 12:40
hi akshay i tried to unlock my k790 but after everything was sucessful my phone says contact service provider..plz help

Mar 16 at 12:28
My w810i phone has gone dead, it doesn’t turn on.
I connected the phone on the xs++, then unplugged it and then it wouldn’t turn on.
Please Helpppppppp!!!!!!!
Mar 16 at 12:57
Hi, thanks for the tutorial akshay, worked like a charm.
anyhoo i’d just like to know, would i have to apply the quick access patch again and unlock it in its entirety again if i were to reflash my phone ?
because i’d like to customise my phone (which is currently k550im@w610i)
thanks
Mar 16 at 12:58
hey ! did you reinsert the phone battery and start ? recharge battery and see ! If phone is detected by XS++ then no problem at all

can u help me please,ive tryed to de-brand and unlock my w850i,i had a few problems but have now got the phone working slightly. my main problem now is the phone keeps rebooting itself every 10-20 secs even if i turn the phone off? also it wont detect any networks
Mar 20 at 09:36
from when u got that problem
remover battery and keep it out for some time
lets see how it will start then
then insert battery after few minutes
Mar 20 at 10:00
ok i`ll try that now,the phone unlocked ok to all networks but just got this problem with it going off every 20-30 secs plus wont pick up any networks(i presume because its not compleating a full scan because of this fault
Mar 20 at 10:02
also how long should i leave the battery out for?
Mar 20 at 10:37
you reflash your phone’s main !
using XS++

Mar 22 at 17:56
The erom version doesn’t matter. Download the Main firmware your phone has installed on it. Download SIMOX patch generator, and SeTool 2 Lite with qmaker. Create and apply the Quick-Access Patch. Then generate and apply the SIMunlock patch also.
Follow the tutorials on the site.
Mar 23 at 14:08
Hi Akshayy
I stumbled upon this website as i am trying to unlock my k800i from the ‘3′ network in Australia, does this firmware work on these phones? .. sounds pretty complex to unlock it!
Mar 23 at 14:38
download a main firmware for k800 .. see the download page its akshayy/sonyericsson/download
then you can use it
it does sound complex at first sight .. but its not really complex ! and this is a DIY >> Do It Yourself
Mar 23 at 16:42
hey
i cudnt find da firmware cud u plz help me n ma internet duznt allow me 2 instal SeTool cud u plz help me. thnx.
Mar 23 at 16:53
r3a022, what you mentioned is your erom version. In software info, check the FIRST line, that is the firmware number.
Mar 23 at 17:04
da 1st lyn is R6CA001…….. bt i cnt find it in da linkz uv provided. n also wer cud i download da SeTool 2 frm. iv gt da Simox jus need da firmware n da SeTool 2. thnx agen
Mar 23 at 17:19
Then download a newer firmware, both main and fs and custpack also. Backup your contacts and files in phone memory, and then flash the newer firmware.
Mar 23 at 17:38
kk thnxz 4 ur help
Mar 23 at 18:27
Thank when you are ready.
Mar 24 at 15:27
yesssssssss ive just fixed it,the fault was my gdfs file was all knackered so i went about flashing a gdfs file of my wifes phone and patching it and its all fixed, happy days. huge weight off my shoulders…
and before anyone says it cant be done,well i can 100% say yes it can thanks to some help of a very friendly guy off another forum who has cracked sonys gdfs files and now can be repaired via your usb cable and setools.
Mar 24 at 16:10
That’s cool, could you provide the URL?
Apr 01 at 20:48
Hi, I have a W660i on 3UK, firmware is R6BC002, I tried to unlock following your tutuorial and all seemed OK but when tried to turn phone on the screen was lit but nothing came up. I have tried the unlock/repair tool in SEtool 2 lite and phone was the same. I then tried to restore GDFS using XS++ but phone still doesnt work. Please can you help???
Apr 02 at 05:36
Reflash main. It will be locked again, but at least working. While you were patching, did SeTool2 say that values differ?
Apr 02 at 07:18
You have an excellent website with many helpful tips!
- I have run into a problem, hopefully you can help me. SE W580i Locked to Rogers Canada
- Would like to unlock. CID: 53 ….
- What to do? Thanks
Apr 02 at 10:49
Hey, Fellas!
Indeed happy to see such place like this with people with knowledge and sharing with those in need for it!
Am having k810i R6BC002 EROM: R3A022 Europe_4 with the simlock engaged and FS branded. Have been through all the info avaiable and the resources in here, have gotten all the files i seem to be in need for and seem to have pretty clear understanding of the process (plus, have played around with XS++). YET, before i get to the job of flashing have one last question:
As stated before, my FW is R6BC002, yet i cannot find a set of all three elements i need with that version of firmware. One i have is R1KG001 - both the MAIN and FS. So “Is it fully compatible and capable of being flashed?”
Thanks in advance!
Apr 02 at 12:52
@Fresh: Sucked in… CID 53 is not supported by XS++/FAR Manager/SeTool2. All you can do with it is browsing FS with the newest JDFlasher. You will have to wait, because den_po and the others are working on it… hopefully.
@stereotips: It should be capabe, but why would you flash an old firmware… Try these:

@Peti
Thanks alot for the info!
Shall try that one out!
Apr 08 at 16:17
Hey all,
i just got a K800i locked to vodafone in UK.
I’m not sure what firmware i need to use. I can’t see any mention of CID anything in the software info screen.
The first few lines of the info:
“R8BF003 pgrCXC1250211_VODAFONE_WI R8BF003
EROM: R3A022 prgCXC1250616_EROM_DB2020_HB106GENERIC_FOTA_SIMLOCK_FLAFLA_SIBLEY_SEMCUSB”
I did find some firmware which may work on the Top Sony forum (K800_R8BF003_FS_VFE_LIVE_2_RED52 ), but I can’t download it off them due to the register cap.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Apr 08 at 17:29
use other firmware.. not a problem at all
there is download page here … see it.. for links
it must be available at TOPSE Russia
you can unlock it.. its db2020 CID52…
hope its not CID53.. just read it all
Apr 08 at 23:54
okay, so i used the K790_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_EV_RED52 firmware from Topse Russia, did all the stuff the tutorial said, and it seemed to go well.
but now, when i turn it on, the screen just flashes on and off, and doesn’t go any further.
Did I choose the wrong firmware, or did i do something else wrong? (when i generated the patch in SimLockPatch, i put the name of my phone instead of the name in the firmware.. should i have?)
Thanks again for your help!
Apr 09 at 00:22
oh, i’ve just realised what i probably did wrong: on the “apply quick access patch” bit of the patching tutorial, i put the unlock patch instead of whatever i was supposed to do.
Good news is setool still recognises my phone, so I don’t think all is lost, though I’m not sure how to fix it.
If it’s relevant, here’s what it said when i ran the identify option on SEtool:

flash main
cuz all patches you do is applied to the main som just make a flash of main 
Apr 09 at 13:16
Yeah, right. I did the same when the K750i died while unlocking…
Apr 09 at 16:29
Hi, i think i am on my last stage of unlocking my k550i. When i apply the “quick access patch”, the programme gives an error when “trying to launch embedded bootloader” (during which my phone switches on and goes into a file transfer mode), which is “embedded flashloader not responds!”.
Could someone help me out pls?
Apr 09 at 16:55
Heya, i managed to unlock my phone after repeating all the steps. You rock man!
Apr 09 at 22:10
Hey, i ran it through a couple more times, and it works great now!
thanks for your help!
Apr 23 at 14:00
Hey Akshay, gotta say 1st time to the site and like the way you are so helful to questions…i have a k800i and got all the files needed to flash but have just realised that when i was new to this i went to SEUS and they have obv put CID53 on my phone…is that it now then i cant upgrade the firmware to anything else i have R1KG001 and want R8BF003 it is already unlocked, by the way what are the diifferences between the 2 is their any noticeable change..the whole reason is i want to put Yahoo Go 3.0 on their and it wont have it…thanks
Apr 23 at 15:16
Yahoo go ?? what’s that ?? i don’t remember it
sorry CID53 you can’t apply patches and no unlocking
but CID53 flashing and custmoization can be done with latest JD flasher. i will soon come up with tht tutorial also
Apr 23 at 18:26
You should try to connect it to XS++, it isn’t totally obvious that it is CID 53.
Apr 25 at 07:00
Hi Peti, i plugged in xs++ thats how i know it is cid53..is the new xs++ good for cid53?
Apr 25 at 12:20
no JD flasher for CID53
will write tutorial for that.
but no unlocking of CID53
Apr 25 at 12:40
den_po will come up with something, it just takes a while.
May 05 at 14:24
What is meant by “-> is right arrow on keypad and <- is left arrow on keypad”? I have a k800i and there are no arrows. If I attempt to use the joystick as you suggested I only come onto other menus. Do you have an alternative? Many thanks!
May 05 at 14:30
you can use the joysticks.. not problems… it works on my friends k790.
May 05 at 14:35
Thanks, but no go. If I push the joystick right, I go into the”Select Profile” menu. If I push left, it’s “Write new…”
May 05 at 14:47
Oops! I take that back. It does indeed work. Continually seeing those other menus out me off. Then voila! Sorry ’bout that!
May 06 at 08:07
hi,
Am from India and stuck with a stu*id a** k790i…I had a virus from hell and I tried to delete files from my memory card and being a rotten soul that i am, i tried playing around wit the settings on my phone…
Long story short, my phone gets stuck on a “please wait” screen and wouldnt want to do anything else. WTF!
Any tips, suggestions, comments? Anything that can help correct what my evil soul did?
May 06 at 10:30
Yes, reflashing Main, FS and Custpack. But you will lose your contacts for sure.
May 08 at 23:43
Can anyone unlock K550i? Free or NOT free,It does not matter. PLEASE HELP! Croatia.
May 10 at 14:22
Sorry.. we don’t provide paid unlocking here.
for that goto topsony.com and see…
other wise there are many .. just google search unlock.
i think total multi server and setool 2 full are the best ones.
May 10 at 15:36
pls anytime i want to write scipt using se tool lite i get the error message embedded flashloader not responds pls tell me wot to do am stucked
May 10 at 16:04
hey forget all that crap.
i hope your phone is working.
now just use JDflasher.. that’s all
follow jdflasher patching tutorial.
see tutorials section.
if not this then JDflasher.
May 14 at 02:07
Hey I need some help I got a SE K550i flashed to W610i (following your tutorial) and I want to unlock it but when checked my firmware in my phone it did not match with the purposed one for the W610i what I should do ?
Thanks for those really greats tutorials
Regards,
Colin
May 14 at 12:32
Purposed one?:O
May 14 at 23:00
Oh sorry my english is not very good (I’m french) porposed one
May 14 at 23:31
I think he means proper one -_-
May 15 at 02:14
yes, my problem is i can’t find the main version of my firmware for unlock my phone anyand idea, and is a DB2020 CID 52 firmware.
May 15 at 05:22
You used a fw to flash it to w610. You can use that to generate Quick-Access Patch and SIMunlock, too.
May 15 at 23:07
Oh thanks for the tip
May 16 at 00:18
Finally I’ve unlocked my phone
May 16 at 05:35
That’s good news !! Congrats !

I read same in above coments..solution suggested was flash main using xs++ however i dont hav main firmware..so how can i refresh main now??
please help
May 16 at 23:08
Patching with a different phone’s patch is not a good idea, especially when the content is in connection with startup.
Use any main firmware for flashing now, use this: http://seflashing.extra.hu/?mode=dlFW&type=K800&sort=Main&file=K800_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52.rar.sek750
Then backup the contacts you have and flash FS, too:
http://seflashing.extra.hu/?mode=dlFW&type=K800&sort=FS&file=K800_R8BA024_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.rar.sek750
Then apply custpack:
http://seflashing.extra.hu/?mode=dlFW&type=K800&sort=CDA&file=K800i_CDA102568_2_R6A_Generic_Central_Europe.zip.sek750
In your case, only main flashing is necessary, but that main won’t be compatible totally with the vodafone life bullsh*t, so you’d better flash everything.
May 17 at 06:06
Thanks Peti,
This trcick worked fine.. now i guess i should follow unlocking db2020 procedure and get rid of vodafone network locked using simon unlocking patch..
thanks aain for the latest firmware
May 17 at 15:41
It’s SIMunlock actually.
May 19 at 15:56
Thanks akshay..was able to unlock and debrand my K770i using ur tutorial..although i had to flash the FS with W880 customization as XS++ did not have one for K770i.anyway it works grt..so many thanks again..
May 19 at 17:47
I just bought a K800i and it says my firmware version is R1GB001, can’t find any main firmware for this phone and version? Can anyone help me please? thank you!

Dear all, I have SE W580i with CID 53 and nothing works out for me, have anyone any suggestion… Many thanks
P.S. I have debranded it with SE Tool, but my brother update CID 52 to CID 53 on SE web site and now SE tool doesnt work, as it says that is working only for CID 52.
May 20 at 14:03
@Mário: yes, it will, use r8ba024.
@Bojan: cid53 is only supported in jdflasher.
May 20 at 17:17
Do I need any special USB cable or just the standart one? The Setool2lt isn’t detecting the phone
May 21 at 04:38
i have w910i and how can i unlock and flash the phone?
CHINA_SH R1EA033
EROM: 1200-4341
HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!
May 21 at 12:55
@Mário: the standard you use for file transfer (DCU-60).
@areyi3: you can’t. It is a DB3150 model, not flashable yet.
May 22 at 18:39
im using the k530i but i dont know which firmware to download, the codes shown in my software page dont seem to match any of the firmware, please help?
May 22 at 19:27
That doesn’t matter, use the newest you can find…
May 22 at 19:44
Thanks, im new to this stuff so to i just need to download the main and the fs?
May 22 at 19:57
Could i speak to someone on msn for a minute if its not too much trouble please?
May 22 at 20:24
ive made the patch and everything but im not sure how to apply it to setool 2 lite
May 24 at 07:21
can this unlock a k310i with erom: r3a012, ty
May 24 at 08:02
You can as long at its still CID52.
May 24 at 08:28
how do i find out if its cid52?
May 24 at 08:54
follow usb driver install tutorial and use XS++ else
then start setool 2 lite.
click connect and reinsert battery connect phone holding c.
May 24 at 09:30
i dont have my install tutorial with me right now but i saw that my phone is db2010 is that good enough already for me to use this program or do i still have to check if my phone is cid52.
im reading the patch and unlock w810, 750 and cid49 db2010 is that the same procedure for me? if yes do i have to patch my phone too? or can i just unlock it without patching? ty
May 24 at 09:41
Yes K310 is DB2010 all right, follow that other tutorial, it will work if it is CID49.
May 24 at 09:52
is there any difference between k310 and k310i? or is it safe for me to use the tutorial for k310? i have a k310i?
May 24 at 09:56
SE puts that “i” in most of its name but in flashing we usually ommit them, we just call a K550i a K550… So it should be safe. It is also safe to crossflash a K550i to a K550im…
May 31 at 03:02
Hi Akshayy,
I had major issues with my SE K790i i.e., random corrupted charecters on the screen and the firmware was completely corrupted…I’m new to modding SE phones but eventhough it looked rocket science in the beggining, was pretty damn easy as things started to roll. I was able to reinstall the firmware using XS++ and firmware patch from the links you’ve provided. I initially failed with this procedure but was successful when I selected the APAC region under customization prior to flashing.
Thanks a ton!!!

May 31 at 10:44
Neither is possible. The first is CID53, hence not patchable. The second is DB3150, hence not flashable at all. For free, I mean.

hey. urmm ur simox patch link isnt working
May 31 at 16:58
hi akkshay, great tutorial i managed to apply quick access patch and after that the unlock db2020 patch and it unlocked my fone (SEK770i-3uk) fine no probs. only thing is, i get reception an all that, (it says ‘VIRGIN’) but i cant recieve or make calls or texts. any suggestions? thanks
May 31 at 17:01
hey alex the link is working.
i don’t know now what’s the problem with your phone.
get a new sim card and try SMS.
If phone is only not working then you will need to REFLASH the MAIN and FS and CDA, Using XS++ . You can find that tutorial in our tutorials section.
May 31 at 17:01
ALSO ALEX if you reflash/reinstall main firmware you will again need to do this unlocking procedure.
May 31 at 18:04
oh mate dw about my comment ^ i did everything fine no problems with ur stuff, it was coz it was a stolen handset coz i got it on ebay. cheers n e way

Hey. Im trying that unlock my w580i because its locked to one GMS provider, and im trying to open that lock.. now ive followed this tutorial. but im stuck when it comes to applying the unlocking patch, because the SIMOX program you have linked to is not working for me. it says:
Internal error: jump address cannot be found! Please contact the author.
i tried to search google for a patch, and i got one but it still didnt work, as my phone is still locked after applying that one.
thanks in advance, you are doing an awesome job

hello david…
may be phone has been unlocked.
if you are getting configuration error..
then REFLASH ONLY FS and CDA only using XS++
don’t reflash main.
if that also does not work.
then REFLASH MAIN+FS+CDA and then again unlock it using SeTool 2 lite or Jdflasher.
don’t make small mistakes here and there follow tutorial properly.
this is XS++ flashing tutorial

Hi everybody. I have bought a sony ericsson mobile phone type V640i in England.But it does not work in my country.How I can unlock it?I need a program.can You help me?
Thanks.Rashad
Jun 08 at 17:44
V640 is DB3150, no patching yet. You can’t unlock it for free.
Jun 12 at 08:57
just finished following the above instruction with mixed results everything appears to complete i can debrand the phone but after applying the unlock patch the phone is bricked any tips its a k800i locked on three also unlock patch not executable using xs++ any help would be great thanks m
Jun 12 at 09:00
debranding is done by reflashing with XS++
unlocking is done by applying patch using Jdflasher or SeTool 2 lite correctly with all steps correctly followed.
Jun 12 at 09:33
after applying unlock patch only flash is supported does the “c” button need to be pressed during the whole process
Jun 12 at 10:07
have started again from scratch and now unable to connect phone how do i clear everything thanks
Jun 12 at 12:47
that’s bad. why is phone not connecting
you are suppose to hold C until phone is connected. then you are supppose to leave it.
try to Use XS++ to fix it now by reflashing the main.
Jun 12 at 12:48
see if its red light is blinking or something like that.
Jun 12 at 13:59
have managed to reflash main using xx++ but phone still bricked and xs++ can no longer open port so have tried using setool and it cant load id loader theres no blinking lights and phone not showing up in “My Computer” really puzzled
Jun 12 at 14:56
Still follow the red light tutorial, I think.
Jun 12 at 16:16
not sure what to make of this but after last flashing failed have left phone alone for about 90mins and its turned itself on and now showing insert correct simcard
Jun 12 at 16:28
hey dude that’s good news.
your phone is working all right.
now start afresh and unlock it properly.
LOCKED phones with InCorrect SIM and FIMRWaRE say INSERT SIM CARD.
Jun 12 at 16:29
do it dos not matter SIM can be removed or left in place.
that’s stupid for having low battery.
battery must be full…!!
Jun 12 at 17:11
as iv flashed the phone how can i get it back to original firmware as i cant remember which it was and is it possible to wipe it clean before starting again
Jun 12 at 22:44
Help please! Looking at
http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/configuration-error-solution/
and can’t work this out ‘Download a CDA that matches your phone’s FS region. No problem even if its for other phone it will work for your phone too if your FS and CDA region match’
I think my main problem is I don’t understand which files to apply for the UK

I am trying to debrand T-mobile and have applied K550_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_LI_RED52.mbn followed by K550_R8BA024_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.fbn and then I don’t know which custom pack to apply (I don’t know what region the fbn relates to and whether it is ok for UK)
Thanks
NB an article explaining about how to match codes would be great!
Jun 13 at 00:42
back again iv reflashed phone using K800_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52 i created and applied the quick access patch using this then created an unlock patch using the SIMOX tool and flashed this first time it failed with the $47 blah error so i flashed with patch again but chose to remove rather than apply patch which worked so reflashed again with the unlock patch this time installing the patch and hey presto its unlocked what can i say my many thanks and eternal gratitude are yours my only gripe is its orange branded how can i get it to just an generic state with no logos and stuff and will further flashing kill the unlock patch
Jun 13 at 00:43
forgot to mention thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks
Jun 13 at 05:20
DAVID. Use CENT_EUROPE CDA. In the CDA download file it will be mentioned along with number >> CENT_EUROPE.
For UK you can use any FS and any CDA because you use ENGLISH. ENGLISH is default in all combinations.
Martin… that’s nice.
To DEBRAND Flash ONLY FS+CDA.
Don’t FLASH MAIN. Else phone will be again locked.
Use XS++ to flash FS+CDA.
So you should check only options flash FS and CDA.
Phone will then get debranded

Sorry. Your phone is CID53. It can’t be unlocked for free as of now.
in few months your phone can also be unlocked free.
Jun 19 at 06:41
thx. my dead k750 its life again. http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/flash-firmwaredebrand-with-xs/
Jun 19 at 06:51
but my k800i can’t unlock. its CID53
Jun 19 at 07:33
yes you can’t unlock CID53 for free now.
in few months CID53 free unlock support will be added.
the poor people who make their life on unlocking phones should earn some money first.. then we will think of free unlocking of CID53 and db3150 and new phones.
Jun 20 at 03:55
hai Akshay, what is the deference between CID52 n CID53 in k800i? thx for the explanation
Jun 20 at 12:59

Jun 20 at 13:57
It’s different EROM security. It is currently impossible to patch cid53 phones for free and only JDFlasher supports them (of free apps). That’s all.
Jun 20 at 14:16
MASS storage??
Do you: switch it off? reinsert battery? hold C while connecting? have drivers installed?
Jun 23 at 05:36

Jun 23 at 09:34
You can’t unlock it for free. W200 is DB2012, I don’t know why XS++ says it’s 2010. But DB2010/2012 CID 52 patching is not possible at the moments, so you can’t unlock it with a patch. You’ll have to pay for unlocking.
