Problem with unlocking rogers w580i
Hello I bought a SE W580i from ebay and i think t was unlock. My mistake it was lock to Rogers CAnada. Anyways i did some research and I flash the new firmware, main, FS and Customs pack. : the phone is still showing network 10 lock.
the new files are
W580_R8BE001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52
W580_R8BE001_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52
W580_CDA102568_107_R8A_GENERIC_AMERICA_2
my old reading was
Baseband ID: 9900
13:09:22| Protocol Version: 3.1
13:09:23| Phone name detected!
13:09:23|
13:09:23| Profiling SEMC phone...
13:09:23| Platform: DB2020
13:09:23| OTP CID: 51
13:09:23| EROM CID: 52
13:09:23| EROM Color: Red
13:09:23| IMEI: 35928501xxxxxx
13:09:23| Phone ID: W580
13:09:23| Region: ROGERS
13:09:23| CDA: CDA102774/87 R10A
13:09:23| Firmware Version: R6BE001
13:09:23| EROM: R3A022
13:09:23| Ready for operation
but i understand i could do a firmware update. This works fine. my phone now reads
SIM Lock
network 10 LOCK
the rest unlock
I tries to use a friends FIDO SIM card and the phone is reading invalid sim card. so in my mide the phone is still lock to rogers because the network is lock.
any help how to proceed further
thanks so much
Re: Problem with unlocking rogers w580i
well cant be fully unlocked (unless you call your service provider to get your code) but you should be able to patch it which keeps it unlocked but it be locked again if you flash it or upgrade the software.etc
heres the steps:
once flashed or debranded.
use setools lite 1.10.
use qamaker (found in the setools lite 1.10 folder) to make ur quick acess vkp file (using your main)
use simlock patch generator (download seperately) creates vkp file (using your main)
*note the main is the one you used to flash the phone.
then use selite tools:
mark bypass db2020
click "ADD" (big button), your main
click "..." (in misc line), your vkp file made from qamaker.
flash
press NO at the end...
reopen the file selite tools (or clear the stuff e.g. untick the bypass db2020 .etc)
so now tick use quick acess below bypass db2020
click "...." your simlock patch vkp file generated.
click write script
press no at the end...
finish please do not pull out cable or you have a chance of bricking and battery is full :)
MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR GDFS FILE ASWELL!
(via XS++ or SEtools lite 1.10 incase anything goes wrong e.g. power cut LOL)
