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.
Hi all, I have a question about the following part of the tutorial:
I have successfully unlocked my phone thanx to this but I now have a question which I need answered to help a new member of this forum.Quote:
B. How to apply the generated patches to DB2020 CID52 phones:
...
I. We will apply the quick access patch to phone. It is needed to be able to use the quick access method in future. Due to this great patch you can easily apply the further patches, just like to DB2010 CID 49 phones.
!!!YOU NEED TO DO THIS ONLY ONCE!!!
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.
3. Click on ... (three dots) button near MISC files box, and select the vkp file generated in step 2.
4. Tick Bypass DB2020 security check box.
5. Click on Add button and select the MAIN firmware file.
6. Press FLASH button.
7. Follow the instructions given by SETool2 Lite.
8. When a dialog pop-up, click "Yes" to remove the patch. Click "No" to add the patch. In this case click on "No" button.
Note: After pressed the FLASH button, at one moment you will believe that nothing happens and the status windows is not changing! DO NOT remove the CABLE! Wait until "ELAPSED x SECONDS" appears in status window.
This process will take some time, about 10-15 minutes or a little more...
...
When I did it, for this step, I used the same MAIN version as the one which was originally on my phone.
What I want to know is, what would happen if you used some other MAIN? Would it actually replace the old main with this new one, and apply the QA patch at the same time?
So for instance if I had R1CF001 on my phone, and I used R1ED001 main for this step, would the new firmware on the phone be the R1ED001 with the QA patch installed. If so, the next step would be: apply the unlock patch, flash FS and CUSTOM to match the new MAIN?
Thank you and regards,
Narqval
HI
I'm new here. i have read this thread from start to finish and have done everything as explained. my problem is after i have done the tut on first page i got an config error. contact service provider. i then loaded custpack using xs++ but it still gives me the same error. e\
what should i do.
1. Your FS firmware must match the MAN firmware (R1GB001 for example)
2. Your cust pack must be matching the FS firmware (EU_5 for example)
If you mix up FS/cust pack you will probably get config error, check if you put the correct cust. pack in.
hi
the current firmware is R1JC002_VFE_LIVE2.
I used K800_R1JC002_MAIN_VODAFONE_WI_RED52 &
K800_R1JC002_FS_VFE_LIVE_2_RED52.
what should i do? should i reflash the main and fs then do the whole proceedure again?
hey guys
i did it. the reason why the config error appeared was because i took the enitre tpa file from custpack and loaded it via xs under tpa/preset/custom.
i extracted the contents from the custom folder of custpack and loaded it that way and it works perfect.
i guess being a newbie it is trial and error until you get it right.
all i can say is simox is a genius. if you need to unlock your phone just use the tools he recomends and it will work just fine.
that's good news from you, now you are a master of your own. he he....:)

hello .. i recently unlocked my se v630 and i have a small problem.
my phone was DB20202 CID49 and i upgraded it to DB2020 CID52 so i could apply the sim unlock patch.
so i have the following problems:
-when i lock my phone and leave it for some time it won't unlock as fast as it did in the past.. it seems that i need to push the unlock key a few times (4-5 times) before it responds
-my display brightness is at the lowest level (like the times it's idle, before the display turns off or after you lock it ). when i change it from the display settings it works fine until the phone stay idle again
some help please?
Hi since the new version simlockpatchgen 2.2 now supports CID53 can I just follow the steps for CID52 to unlock my phone?
Pardon my ignorance if my question has already been posted on this thread: I currently don't have the time to read 138 pages of this thread.
My question: Can this guide be used for a sim-locked SE P990i from the Philippines.
I am now the proud owner of an unlocked V630 :D
Had it lying around for years, brand new in it's box. I'm on O2 and could not use the phone so I thought I'll give it a go and see what happens....
Thank you very much for an easy to follow guide!
Great, thank alot! I has done it
Hi.
I am trying to remove the sim-lock of my W580i (db2020 CID52), but when I run the setool V1.11, it shows that it doesn't find the setool2lib_lt.dll module. This file is in the same folder than setool2lt.exe file.
Could you help me with this?
Best regards,
CIB.
redownload and try again, probably a corrput file
Hi, i'm trying to unlock my s500i db2020 cid52, i've debrand it with xs++, made the sim-lock patch but when i hit "write script" on se tool, (with the phone turned off) it tells me to hold c and plug usb cable, then the phone goes to file transfer mode and the script doesn't run, just aborts after a few seconds. what am i doing wrong?
edit: if i uncheck the "use quick access patch" it runs the script, dialog box appears (remove/apply patch) but the phone remains unlock. This is what i get:

SE w518a Issues:
Ok my friends, help me out a bit here.
I just upgraded my (beloved) w580i to the w518a (mostly as it has a better camera and I couldn't afford the Sony Cybershot, lol)
So here's the BIG problem - the blasted center button auto-connecting to MediaNet (which I NEVER use). I've yet to find very much info on the w518a. Feature and usage-wise, I'm fine with everything BUT this blasted Media Net. I contacted AT&T and they said it was an SE issue - contacted SE and (using an UNBRANDED version), they said the button to them straight to settings, so that it was *definitely* an AT&T branding issue. I'll be raising some hell with AT&T over this. My question is this: is there a way to change this without de-branding, or i that my only way to go, and if so, HOW do I go about unbranding it and locating the appropriate firmware?
I have checked with upper AT&T techs and they said that they are not aware of any way to change this, and did not know how to go about contacting the development (firmware) department. Going to attempt to contact upper echelon of AT&T Wireless regarding this issue as it *really* p**ses me off. If necessary, I will see if I can get them to give authorization to SE to provide me with an appropriate unbranded firmware. I'd rather not have to do this, but if they leave me no choice .... (and for those of you who think I can't get it done the "hard" way, lol, you don't know me).
I'll keep everyone posted on the progress, but if anyone knows of an easier way, I'd sure appreciate knowing about it
Unbranding is *not* my first choice - I remember the issues with unbranding the 580 - like turning IMs into data instead of text, etc. I'm also VERY irked at this 300k MP3 limitation. I went through a LOT today to get this phone, and I'm going to be even more ticked off if I find that the only thing this phone has over my 580 is the 3.2mpx camera vs the 2mpx. Not a happy camper at this point.
===========
I am waiting to hear from the developers at AT&T (yes, a message was sent to that dept).
In the meantime, I have seen that Ultimate Unlockers 4.01 indicates "Instant Full Unlock of DB3200 & DB3210 CID53 supported" and I have read that the w518a is a DB3200 CID53.
I have located several firmwares for the 518a -
W518a_1220-7732_R6A_ATT_USA
W518a_1220-7732_R7A_ATT_USA
W518a_1220-7732_R10A_ATT_USA
W518a_1220-7732_R12A_ATT_USA
W518a_1220-7732_R14A_ATT_USA
How can I tell which firmware is the appropriate one for my system?
Thanks!!!!

Guys, need help with Far manager (JDFlasher), when i try to open oflash to flash my W660 (it has R8BB001 flash atm) with R8BE001 so i can unlock it, JDFlasher gives me this error...
http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/9750/farerror.th.jpg
Can someone help me? :eek::eek:
JDFlasher can read the mobile, but it can't open the oflash dir so i can flash it with main R8BE001.
I tried reflashing the mobile with SE program but with no luck, after it reflashed, JDFlasher still keep giving the same result... :(:eek::(
Ok I fixed it myself. Used Far Manager+JD Flasher. F11 then connect using JD Flasher. Double click BFLASH and follow instructions. Asked me to remove battery 4 times and reconnect. After that it says to flash main first. I did. Then Flashed VKP file. Then hit .. until you get this: Warning Are you sure, Click Yes. Restarted phone and its was unlocked. I dont know why Setool2lite would not work but FAR did it after trial and error.
:p:rolleyes:
I have w850i .. and unlockeeeeeeed :))
thank youuuuu so muchhhhh :)
the last step (B. How to apply the generated patches to DB2020 CID52 phones) doesnt worked for me.. just with farmanager and jdflash :)
