how does this patch help us???
Remove SIM-lock patch generator...it creates from main frimwares patches which you can apply to the frimware and with the help of these you can "unlock" your phone.
Note: after reflashing the frimware on your phone you will have to apply the patch again as this just patches the main!
i have one more question.. i live in europe but im in america now so which fireware should i download for the patch to use my phone both in america and europe? main generic is appropriate for my situation?
Yes, MAIN GENERIC is okay for you. In Europe and America the correct choice is the MAIN GENERIC. If you want some branded firmware, you can use that too.
hmm, in W-ATE10EYEs case it worked, in my case it didnt and i tried it many times :(Quote:

Well it says it is unlocked through the settings, havent actually tried with a foreign sim card yet.
To all of you who have problems, DONT RUSH THINGS, go over all the steps carefully, DONT PANIC.
For both the flashing and patching process I read multiple tutorials because as great as ONE tutorial is sometimes the author misses out on something, so try and cross reference the steps with a tutorial by another author.
Remember each step is important, I know it maybe annoying such as taking out the battery,sim,memory card etc each time, but it is neccessary!
Backup files, have programs neatly saved and installed onto a folder you will remember. have all the cables etc ready.
Believe me, this was my first time in doing anything technical with a phone, I was intimidated.
If for any reason that it is not working for you, that means you are missing out on a step, or you are not using the right phone. Unless by some random occurence your existing stuff is glitched/corrupted.

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.
Here is some infor 'bout my phone
How can I find the MAIN file (.mbn) ? In the download area there are some but I don't know what's good for me and I have no permission for download, too.Quote:

You need this file: W850_R1JE001_FS_VFE_LIVE_2_RED52. You can use GENERIC firmware as well, but you need to debrand your phone first.
Hi,
I'm new here. Thanks for the help, I'm able to unlock the sim lock of the phone. But now I'm facing a serious problem after unlocking the phone.
After I unlock my 3's Z610 from Australia, is able to take other sim card and make calls. The problem is, after boot up the phone, I close the flip of the phone, the light goes off and will never light up anymore. At first I thought the phone off by itself then found out that it is not, it still remain on because the light at the cover outside still able to view the time, and see properly, I can stilll see the internal screen under strong light. Once I get into the brightness setting, the light straight away came back so it is not the cable problem. It happen as long as I switch on the phone and close the flip, if I don't close the flip it won't have any problem.
I suspect is because I did something wrong and cause this problem and below is what I'm suspecting right now:-
1) I've checked the original firmware of the phone is R1ED001 but I used Z610_R1JG001_MAIN_GENERIC_RED52.mbn instead of Z610_R1ED001_MAIN_GENERIC_EU-EMEA_RED49.mbn. Both of this files I got it from a website because I do not know where to get the MAIN.
2) I did not debrand the phone and straight away unlock the sim lock.
Will it because I used a wrong MAIN firmware for it and should I debrand it first? How can I get it fixed? Flash again then apply the patch again? Or just debrand it will fix the problem? Please help me, it is kinda troublesome with a non-light screen... Thanks a million!!!
The Z610_R1JG001_MAIN_GENERIC_RED52.mbn should be okay. First reflash the MAIN and check if the phone is properly working:
a. if it works then apply the unlock patch(again).
b. if it doesn't works then reflash the phone completely(MAIN, FS, custom pack), then apply the patch

No. You have not unlocked the phone.
It doesn't seem like you have done anything with this operation, other than just read the information of the phone.
Hi all!
What is trouble?
welcome to Remove SIM-Lock patch generator v2.1

Main file from

This is a bug of my tool. Why it is not corrected? Well, there is no real use because DB2020 CID49 phones cannot be patched for free and I'm too lazy :D .
The answer: download XS++ v3.1, and connect your phone to it. When XS++ ask you if you want to upgrade the EROM CID to 52, press the Yes button. Download a K610 RED52 firmware, and follow the unlocking guide.
Hi all,
I just started playing around with my phone and found the instructions here most helpful.
I have read that some guys had some problems with their w850s. I thought I'd give it a try to see for myself and have done the following.
Phone: w850i
- CDI52
- DB2020
- Orange firmware....
1. Flashed using SETool 2 Lite and put quick access patch on.
- W850_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52.mbn
- W850_R1KG001_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52.fbn
2. Applied Remove_Sim_Lock script.
At first my phone turned on, but did not work..:confused:. realized I had not used a customisation package when i flashed the new firmware. But now it is working brilliant, with new SIM (not orange). :D
Thanks alot simox! If you need anyone to try some new software out then let me know. I would also be up for helping out with some programming if you need a hand.
And once again I There is question!
Has Done k610 cid52 ,pathed "access path" - successfully All on your instructions! But here is unlock patch Remove_SIM_lock_K610_R1KG001.vkp can not load

.................PHONE LOCK CODE :-(
It looks like you applied the patches correctly. Put in phone a SIM card from other provider, and if the phone accept it, then your phone is unlocked.
Does this patch work for z520 phones? it is cid36 what flashing tool should i use?
Thanks
Yes, it works with Z520 CID36 phones. To apply the patch use the FAR Manager + SEFP(Sony Ericsson Flasher Plugin - or something like this :) ).
i try your tutorial with a w710i from orange here is the data

can you tell me if i need to change the cid to 52 and if i do that is it ok for the phone?
Second question, the firmware .mbn i get on the net doesn't seem to work with your patch generator, i try with W710_R1EE001_MAIN_GENERIC_CH_RED49 found on this site but i got a error message, should i use a W710_R1EE001_MAIN_GENERIC_CH_RED52 ?
thanks for your time and sorry for my english....
First upgrade your phone to cid 52, then use W710 R1EE001_MAIN_GENERIC_CH_RED52
Nice day
First my k610i was branded by 3 now unbranded and back to sony spec.trying to unlock fone went through process all went well till i powered fone up it says configuration error contact my netwaork support?any ideas cheers
Reflash your phone with MAIN FS and Custom! And then try to patch again!Quote:

I'll basically make a list of points and then you can tell me if I'm wrong on any of them, then I'll tell you where it all goes wrong.
Firmware on my K800i is Europe_2, so that means I need the Generic MAIN Firmware, yes? I've got the "K800_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52.mbn" file, so that should be right?
Ok well everything goes fine up until the flashing.
I've made the backup GDFS and stuff, so that's fine. But what happens is that, during the FLASH - using the quickaccess file (.vkp) file generated using the aforementioned MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52 in the MISC part, and that exact Firmware in the added files part - it goes great, but then in the log reaches "Part3".
I sit and watch it each time, and Part1 completes fine, then Part2, and then as expected the progress bar goes back to the beginning for Part3, the dialog says "Processing Part3..." and then...blue screen of death and my PC reboots and my K800 is a brick.
Thankfully thanks to the backup GDFS and the firmware I can revive it, but I've tried this 5 times now and the exact same thing happens each time.
There's no SIM in the phone and no mem card and the battery is fully charged.
I'm running Vista.
This is so frustrating. Any ideas? Thanks.
Oh yeah and before I de-branded this K800i ages ago (which since then has been sitting on my shelf) it was on 3.
CID is 52, firm is R1KG001 and colour of course is Red.
So!
Help?!?!
Kind regards.

I get a message saying that particular .inf does not support that method of install?
I've been having the same trouble as azul above, so i updated the drive to the one that comes with setool lite as simox advised (you have to plug your phone in, then go to device manager, right click on the flash device and choose update driver software, then just choose the folder with the correct driver in.)
Now i'm trying to unbrick my k770 following a couple of encounters with that dirty blue screen, i'm using xs++ to restore the GDFS and it connects but then gets stuck at "activating gdfs...." and in the bar at the bottom i get "Sending Applet CSloader..." and then it's just frozen. I've left it for over 30mins, when in the past it only takes a couple of minutes to restore.
Also sometimes in the last hour or so the computer has been struggleing to detect the phone is connected- is this because my battery is low? I've tried plugging in the charger and the red light on the top left front corner of the phone lights up for a few seconds but then goes off again(anyone know what this is?) Does the phone even know how to charge itself when it's brickded? and why doesn't it just take power from the usb like most devices?
sorry have gone on quite a bit there.... getting pretty desparate now tho!..... please help!?!?!
Aha, I've sorted the BSOD problem.
Now in the dev manager instead of "Sony Ericsson Flash Device" it's "SEMC Flash" etc, so yeah cheers.
And it seems to have worked, currently applying the quickaccess patch, got past part3 without any problems.
As for Scotty...if the charger light blinks on then off this usually means the phone has been bricked.
What you'll need to do is restore the GDFS and re-flash it using the MAIN firmware.
Then try charging it and if the light stays solid, charge it to full battery before doing any more work with it, otherwise it's very risky
yeah that's the thing- i think there may not be enought juice to get the phone through the gdfs restore let alone flashing the firmware, which i reckon is why it keeps getting frozen halfway through the gdfs restore. Anyone know of a solution? Unfortunately i dont know anyone else with the same phone (k770) to borrow their battery!
The phone charger allows me to plug in the dcu-65 at the same time but this is not having any effect...
