Hello.

You should tried this on your phone to get in to service hidden menu.

You are in the service hidden menu.Here can you check if your phone is only patch unlocked or full. By a full unlock you will have all 5 locks unlocked.

Nice day

I'm a bit puzzled.
I tried XS++ 3.1 (Darwin) on my French SFR locked and branded K800i, it proposes me to upgrade to CID52 (it's CID51), I can provide a screenshot anytime if you like to.

But my question is : of what use is it to upgrade to CID52 ?

I've read somewhere it allowed to unlock the handset (for some mysterious reasons SFR won't give me the unlock code) but it's done with Setool3 which I don't have.

Can help?

THX.

CID = This "number" defines the version of SE's protection present in the phone.New CIDs are deployed from time to time, for the sole reason of preventing them from beeing unlocked/flashed/tampered with by non-SE service tools.

Nice day

Well then, I don't see very much interest in 'upgrading' from CID51 to CID52, especially my first priority is unlocking the handset...

debranding will come afterwards !:D

Sorry but my phone patch unlocked has all padlock open. I believe that only method to detect the patch unlock is the "identifiy" funtion of Setool2 lite.
Or else if i go to info software into hidden menu the phone show me:
EROM: R3A022 prgCXC1250487_EROM_DB2020_THELMA_MIWA_RIKO_FOTA_SI MLOCK_FLAFLA_SIBLEY_SEMCUSB
It maybe another way to detect a patch unlock??

o0ops: Upgrading To CID52 Is No Harm. There Was A Time When CID52 Was Like A Brick And Was Uncustomizable But Now CID52 Is Moving Faster Than CID51. Even The VKP Patches Are Being Worked Upon For CID52 Rather Than CID51.

Thanks a lot, but doesn't this mean, if I upgrade to CID52 and I want to do some customizing, I'll have to use CID52 firmware and FS?

(I might have some too)

it might be more simple to first unlock, THEN customize to generic CID51 and THEN upgrade, no?

If it's of any use....
