W610i Locked After Flashing
I have a W610i for a year and a half. I already flashed it twice durinh that time, and had no problems with it. I loaned it to my friend for a week and he somehew screwed the software (Bluetooth couldn't turn on, vibration didn't work, file manager was broken, etc).
I reflashed it today using JDFlasher (since it's RED53), and after I turned it on, it didn't accept my SIM Card. Looking at the security menu, I realised it was locked with MNC2 code. I'm pretty sure that it had the R8BA024 firmware, so I flashed it with it. But my customization section says CDA 12345678/123 R2A cxc1250755 R6BC002 99E0W EUROPE_2
Now, I don't have any credit cards, nor is PayPal supported in my country, so even if I had the money, I can't pay a service for unlocking.
Can someone tell me what happenned to it and is there any way to unlock it? I've spent 8 hours trying to do something, but no results. I've tried the SIMLockPatchGenerator, but I cannot apply it since I don't have the "bflash" option in JDFlasher. I can't apply the Quick ACcess Patch, since I can't go to the file manager (which is required by the only tutorial on this I've found).
Any help is appreciated, I really need my phone, and they're not cheap here at all. Thanks in advance.

You might be able to recover it with the Official Sony Ericsson Update Service? Give it a try.

I tried using SEUS, that's was the first thing I tried, but it recognizes the software as the newest and cancels the update.
senter, I'll try with Omnius, it's downloading. I thought I went through thw whole Google database, but now I see I didn't. Thanks, I'll put an edit if it works.
I'm double posting so that my post is notable.
Omnius unlocked it, thanks senter.
BUT, now it says "Configuration error. Please contact your network operator or service centre"
Any ideas now?
False alarm! I uploaded a desired customziation pack and it's alright now.
THANK YOU TOPSONY.com!
Thanks for all the help, really! You saved my life!
