Remove SIM-lock patch generator - Top Sony Forums

Yes your w610i can be patched unlocked using

Remove SIM-lock patch generator - Top Sony Forums
Like in above post^

But read this first
General Information about Patch-Unlocking (start here if you want to unlock) - Top Sony Forums

And in my opinion the phone may need debranding because its on Virgin.

how would you go about debranding the phone, can someone show me the main, fs and CDA files i should use?

Use these flash files:

W610_R8BA024_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_11_R5A_GENERIC_EUROPE_2
W610_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52

its works brilliant

SENTER, can you explain to me, how YOU can tell which 3 files i need just from the LOG file, i want ot be able to know how to do that!!

You had EUROPE_2 already on. So you only take the same version of firmware , only he took the latest firmware. And if you want debrand your phone, then you take only generic files.

Nice day

jasmin ok...

how can you tell which is newest firmware?

also how can you tell which custom pack to choose???

I always take the last firmware that was uploaded to TopSony.

Finalization = Completing flashing operations and storing basic settings that phone needs to properly operate [i.e. security certificates, (and this is why phone displays "configuration error" if it is not properly done)].

Firmware has two parts:
1. FS: It contains languages, images, sounds, animations, settings, etc. Anything that isn't pure software.
2. Main: It contains the software.

Note: MAIN and FS HAVE to be the same software version
MAIN R1BC002
FS R1BC002
Customization has to be same region as FS, in this case
FS = EU5 (EUROPE_5)
Customization =CDA102338/50 ( EUROPE_5 Sunrise Switzerland)

Nice day

i see

so if you goto download section for k750i,

which one would you say is the newest, its cid36 at the moment

Which one cust pack do I need for australia?

Isn't the x++ have customize feature where u tick and pick your country..so you don't need to download this..

you can use that, it installs the exact same files. However different custom packs house different languages.

So which custpack do I use for australia or for ticking x++

can you please point me to the thread that specificially deal with w610 debrand and unlocking..

I did it for w810i before but it's been a while...

Also do I need to update far manager with any new patches to support w610i? like for w810i required.

Well unless you speak aborigine as your only language then you want English, so just use the custom pack above.

Its not phone dependant when you flash, its CID Dependant. So if you let us know your CID then we will be able to point you in the right direction.

Use either XS++ or Setools and as i said before copy the log into this thread MINUS your IMEI number.

Regards

Lav

wow thanks! great advice. Can someone link me to the custpack download section ? thanks

Hi all was hoping somebody could help. I am unlocking a W610i too. The firmware on the phone is R1KG001.

I have downloaded R1KG001 firmware from here but only get a .fbn file.

When I run SIMlockPatchgen it asks for a .mbn file - where do I get this file from? Can I use the firmware linked on page 1 of this thread? and do these contain .mbn files.

Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

The problem is that you downloaded an FS and not a MAIN firmware. Download this MAIN: W610_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_NA_RED52.

No. There is no way to downgrade the CID.
