Connect it to xs++ and copy your phones log without IMEI number.

You can use this firmware, if you want debrand your phone:

K790_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_EV_RED52
K790_R8BF003_FS_AMERICA_1_RED52
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_106_R5A_GENERIC_AMERICA_1

It was 3:00 in the morning for me and thought no one else on line there, went to bed :-)
I was using Setool2lt to get the info above now using XS++ and log make sense now. Here is new log:

10:09:31| Firmware Version: R1JC002
10:09:31| EROM: R3A022

So I will need use this one right?
K790_R1JC002_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52
K790_R1JC002_MAIN_GENERIC_EV_RED52
BTW,what is the 3rd file use for?
What's different between different contry/distrct or generic?
I can't download the file from TopSony. It said I will need to pay. but this is my status:
Allowances: 3 files/0 used
Category last synchronised: 07-12-2008 09:18 AM
Next scheduled synchronisation: 07-12-2008 09:20 AM
do you know why? is 100 mb is good enough for my task-- I'll need the file today and get it done today.
Please help

Thanks very much

No,use files what @jasmin says to use
third file is custpack and you need that file to finalize flashing
and finaly about download access - Top Sony Forums - Request access to Download Area

Are these files for debrand?
I got these file:
K790_R1JC002_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52
K790_R1JC002_MAIN_GENERIC_EV_RED52

Are these are right one for my cell?
Please advice

No as stated before jasmin's are the correct ones to use.

There up to date and generic which means they will also debrand your phone.

Now I got it.
It seems there are few ways to unlock the phone:
1) use XS++ with Jasmine's 3 files
2) use Simox's way from TopSony which is using my files and generate unlock patch.
Am I right?

I now ready to go for unlock my k790.
I will post my result later

Thanks all for the help.

We are here to help.

Nice day

Thank you all for the help.
I got my K790 works.

1) Just 2 comments here:
I couldn't fine the file:
K790_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_EV_RED52
K790_R8BF003_FS_AMERICA_1_RED52

So I use these instead - and it is working too
K790_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_EV_RED52
K790_R6BC002_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52
The file can be found here
"http://www.4shared.com/dir/2421943/20dbe288/sharing.html"

2) I wasn't clear about this:
"2. In Windows Explorer drag the MAIN file (.mbn) onto [SETool2 Lite v1.11 folder]\qamaker\qamaker.exe. In the qamaker's folder you will get a quick_access_XXXX_XXXXXXX.vkp file."
So I used other way instead -- it is about the same
"http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1306915"

Just to make sure that you need check “Bypass DB2020 Security” when use SETOOL2LITE tool to flash.

To verify if it is unlocked debranded just do ( >*<<*<* ) on your cell. It will bring you in service menu-SIMlock menu - and all item there should be dispay as unlocked.

Thanks again for overyone's help.
Btw, anyone know how can unlock LGCG180 from AT&T? -- trying to search but hard to find.
