Try flash only with MAIN (press clear in Setool) and than in ADD put just MAIN and hit Flash
ok i'm doing that now
You should add in misc just zip file what you have downloaded
now it says phone pre boot failed, possible recovery needed :(
phone still works but still conf. error :(
can i revive phone with SE update service?
just tpa folder - make to zip ( or do you have XS++ maybe ) and don't hurry - this things aren't made in hurry
In this case no, SEUS isn't able to do that.Quote:

You need to reflash your phone first. Here are two tutorials: Flash your phone using SETool 2 Lite, and XS++ 3.1 Guide-Flashing, Customizing, Recovering
ok tnx that seems to be the problem :) ... now i have started SE update service, se tool wasn't working because it wouldn't read usb driver, i hope i will fix that phone :P
Try to change USB port, and check connector on phone ( clean if you need)
hm SE update fixed the phone :)
hm cool me i updated it to cid53 :P
You have been warned not to rush! Now, you won't be able to apply any patch for free, including sim-lock remove patch!Quote:

I now have connected the phone with the xs++ and then the updating question came up... if i wanted to update to cid52..i choose NO... the only thing i want to do is to unlock it so i can use other gsm cards.. and not the 3G operator that the phone is locked on now. :D
I almost promise.. if this can be done.. i think this would be the last time i help them pesky kids ;) and im doing this for free to tststs lol.
Here is some info about the phone.

23:29:20| User chose NOT to update EROM CID!
Hope this is useful
Reconnect again, and let XS++ to update the CID to 52, to be able to apply the patches.Quote:

Because the phone is Vodafone baranded, you need the K610_R1CE001_MAIN_VODAFONE_TH_RED52 MAIN firmware. So download this MAIN, and follow carefully the tutorial in first post of this thread section B. How to apply the generated patches to DB2020 CID52 phones.
I eventually found why I can't see the unlocked status of the W580i. In the quoted is missing asterix (*) at the end. So the key's sequence should be > * < < *< * to reach the Service Info menu. For w580i, at least, it works.Quote:
...To be sure that the phone is really unlocked, put a SIM card from another network provider. Another method to check the SIM-lock status is to access the service menu with >*<<*< key sequence, where: > - joystick right, < - joystick left, * - asterisk key near 0 (zero). Now go to Service Info menu, then SIM Lock sub menu. In case your phone is unlocked, all padlocks are open...
Ok simox.. Now im on the right way i think.. but this is rather confusing. With SETool2 Lite v1.11.
1. Select your phone model.
2. In Windows Explorer drag (Windows drag and drop operation) the MAIN firmware (*.mbn) onto [SETool2 Lite v1.11 folder]\qamaker\qamaker.exe's icon. In the qamaker's folder you will get a quick_access_XXXX_XXXXXXX.vkp file.
I dont have a setool folder.. I just have the setool exe on the desktop. Maybe i should reinstall the setool. i might have deleted that folder right after i installed it :s.
I might.. or should i say.. i think that i have not followed the instruction to the letters. because when i put a different sim card in the phone.. it says. put correct card in. :s :).. but hey im at the finish line right ;)
OUPS :( I did it again

Yeah, you need to reinstall SETool2 Lite v1.11Quote:
Maybe i should reinstall the setool.
This is a very bad habit of many users. I suggest you to follow the guide carefully ;).Quote:
i think that i have not followed the instruction to the letters
Ok.. simox i will... i just dont remember were i found it.. is there a link from here... otherwise i can use my enemy google ;)Quote:

Just reflash the MAIN firmware, and your phone should come back to life. Then start the whole unlocking procedure again. But at this time follow the guide.
OK...the phone is running and We are back in business. I shall do that...
Hey.. What the..... ITīS UNLOCKED ! :d
Thanks so much for all the help seamonkey and simox. that boy would be very happy i think.. nice Christmas gift right? getting the phone unlocked just before Christmas ... And to some of you... YOu can stop laughing ;) , i did it finally
You are wellcome.Every time- and I mean that.
For your detail unlock instruction. I just unlock my Pink W580i with Roger Network a few minute ago. Thanks your effort to develop this wonderful information which save me some money.

i used xs++ to get this information...simox tut says I should use SETool2 Lite where can I get this from?
regards
robust
---edit---
downloaded SETool2 Lite v1.11 its 65.7mb compressed rar file is that correct version? the setool2 lite.exe keeps getting picked up by avg as a virus....
---edit2---
In XS++ V3.1 I clicked on GDFS in the configurations panel then Backup GDFS which created a 97KB file called (W850_xxxxxx_GDFS_BACKUP.bin) on my pc.
Can I use XS++ V3.1 to do the rest of the steps if so how can I do this?
---edit3---
I downloaded (SETool2 Lite v1.10) then used the (SETool2 Lite v1.11 update) file to update the app. I now have v1.11 working fine, I have made a backup of the GDFS using this app.
As the phone is a DB2020 CID49 im a little confused on how I should proceed...
When I connect the phone via xs++ it does give me an option to upgrade to CID 52...I will wait untill someone can confirm that I should go ahead with the CID upgrade.Quote:
justme
"DB2020: These phones can only be patched if the CID is 52. You can upgrade to CID52 if necessary."
Appreciate any help guys.:)
Upgrade the CID to 52 with XS++, and then follow step by step the tutorial in first post of this thread(DB2020 CID52 section).Quote:

Thanks very much, I have done as you said the phone is now

What is the MAIN firmware? How do I get it?Quote:
simox
2. In Windows Explorer drag (Windows drag and drop operation) the MAIN firmware (*.mbn)
Once I get the mbn file all I do is drag and drop the mbn file on top of the qamaker.exe file?
Thanks once again for your great patch and help:)
robust
OK, now your phone can be patched.Quote:
EROM CID: 52
You will get the answer if you read the SonyEricsson Hardware and Firmware. You need the W850_R1ED001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52.mbn MAIN firmware(search for it)Quote:
What is the MAIN firmware? How do I get it?
Exactly, and then follow the next steps...Quote:

Hi thanks again
Ive just searched the site and have downloaded W850_R1ED001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52.mbn
I also found a comment from yourself Unlocking W850i [Firmware Version: R1ED001] - Top Sony Forums
Does that also apply to me which one should I use?Quote:
"My advice is, DO NOT use the W850_R1ED001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52.mbn, because it is corrupted, and you will brick your phone. Here is a thread about this problem: SIMLockPatchGen Error!!
Use instead W850_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52.mbn for e.g."
Also I wondering if I could make my own from my phone as it is on 3 ntwork(uk) with all the settings for planet3 site(checks talk time I have left)
