Most awaited w200i cid 52 unlock procedure

q:
How to service db2010/db2020/pnx5230 cid52/cid53 using new setool2 (>=v0.914029) alternative bypass method ?
what problems i can meet and how to resolved them ?
what precautions should i follow ?

a:

terms:
phone should work fine.
red blink, white blink, etc phones are NOT supported.

you can only use alternative bypass if your phone has supported firmware (you have BOTH rest file and bypass package)
if yours firmware not supported, either flash supported firmware (only main part in enough) or post request on forum.

BEFORE using new alternative bypass method you SHOULD turn phone on and install CSCA(MODEM) drivers.

i STRONGLY recommending to browse that FAQ and READ article about com-ports growth - there is EXTREMLY helpful file,which
prevents discovering of same phone models as new devices.

if you are capable user, you can edit .inf files of CSCA(MODEM) drivers - we only need to install
Sony Ericsson Device XXX bus driver and Sony Ericsson Device xxx USB WMC Modem - all other devices is not needed.
that will help you to save comport numbers.

important! if your phone had unsupported firmware and you flashed main part (all parts) of supported - you MUST power on phone, so phone will update new firmware info.

because of way new alternative bypass method works, you need
TEST SIM card (mcc/mnc 00101) or OPERATOR SIM card. (you must be able browse phone menu,etc)

supported following models:

db2012 cid52 - normal CID52 phones (w200,w300), abnormal CID52 phones (k310,k510,w810,z550)
db2020 cid52/cid53 phones
pnx5230 cid52/cid53 phones

supported operations:
unlock via patch, all additional things that setool2 can provide.

YOU AGAIN NEED REST FILES !!!! FOR ALL MODELS, WHICH ARE SUPPORTED FOR ALTBYPASS !!!
GET THEM FROM SUPPORT SITE OR DO IT YOURSELF

Procedure of new alternative security bypass :

1. select correct phone model
2. go to settings tab,
3. check BOTH "signed mode (using server)", "enable alternative security bypass", that is required
4. optionally, check "unlock after flash", "patch otp<>gdfs check in firmware"+"allow to change IMEI when unlocking" (read precautions)
5. optionally, check "complete phone after flash" (i recommend use custpacks)
6. go back to semc tab
7. if you need, add main+fsimage+custpack (script)
8. press desired operation
9. when asked, disconnect phone, insert TEST SIM, power on phone fully and connect it.
10. HOLD "C" (or "2" for w880/simular) BUTTON ALL THE TIME UNTIL PHONE REBOOTS.
11. when asked, disconnect phone, remove battery, insert battery, then connect phone while holding corresponding button ('C' or '2' for w880). In 99% cases phone will reboot and connects automatically.

approximate time for unlock by patch using new alternative bypass method is 160-180 seconds on one phone.

after unlock in phone will be application called "executor"
(menu->games->executor)
it is leftover from unlock procedure, you should delete it ... or....
if you run it - it will install preloader in phone and then you able to do any setool2 function without all that long steps...
(just check "use preloader security bypass)

precautions:
please take care that there is NO (at least, i can't get) cid52 firmwares for following db2010 phones: k310,k510,w810,z530,z550

luckily, k310,k510 can be flashed with w200 firmware, so we can always return them to original state.

but it is NOT related to w810,z530,z550 phones.
cause there is no firmwares, we can't recover them in case of error.

because of that, one mistake with that phones - and you get deadweight.
you have been warned.

under mistake i mean:
- terminated flash or anything,which prevents phone from starting up
- changed IMEI of phone, which prevents phone from using new alternative bypass method.

will repeat again:

DO NOT WRITE FOREIGN IMEI IF YOU NOT HAVE BACKUP IN DB2010 CID50/51/52/53 , DB2020 CID49/51/52/53, PNX5230 CID49/CID51/CID52/CID53 PHONE

THINK 10 TIMES BEFORE CHANGE IMEI IN W810/Z530/Z550 CID 52 PHONES
DO NOT EVEN THINK TO MESS UP FIRMWARE IN W810/Z530/Z550 CID52 PHONES

possible problems:

in case of terminated flash/etc you can always return phone to life by flashing any original firmwares into them -
and then it ready for execution again

short info of firmwares we have and have not:

db2012 k310 (via w200),k510 (via w200) ,w200,w300 - CID52 firmwares available.
db201x abnormal CID52 phones Z530,Z550,W810 - NO CID52 firmwares.
db2020 - supported CID52/CID53 firmwares available
pnx5230 - supported CID52/CID53 firmwares available

on "step 11" phone not connecting, but simple turning on

due delicate bypass process such thing is possible, but that happens VERY-VERY rare.
nothing weird happens in that case - you have 4 choices what do :

1. terminate process (press stop) and retry from beginning.
2. as phone powered on now, go to menu->games and run program called "executor". phone should "turn off",sometimes with white screen,sometimes not. Continue procedure then (step 11)
3. if you run "executor",but pressed stop - go to settings, check "enable preloader security bypass" - now you can do any operation with phone, like unlock/etc.
4. reflash phone in "signed mode" and start from step 1. (idiotic, isn't it ? )

on step 11 setool2 stucks in loop with message "PHONE NOT READY YET", but phone is turned on okay

well, better ask semc programmers why that happens... anyway - to solve that -
just press "STOP" ONCE - setool2 will continue procedure.

on step 11 i got message "CAN'T START EXECUTOR,RETRYING..."

it is okay to have that message if phone not in "normal mode" or starting up. just switch phone to normal mode and wait.

It is necesary box?

Thx for all

yes setool needed

So what does this exactly mean ?

Does it mean I can unlock my W200i much cheaper than it used to be ?

yes no log required at all.

yes setool needed

working with branded firmware??

Be aware that unlock isn't full unlock !!
My phone returned to locked after flash ! :(

offcourse. you have that with every phone you flash. (like Iphone etc), you first flash it to your likings and then unlock it ;)
