Help me select correct firmware please
I have read all guide and read the K790A phone with XS++ 3.1
It's DB2020
OTP CID 49
EROM CID 49
This is a locked phone to Rogers Canada. Can you help select the proper firmeware files?
Re: Help me select correct firmware please
Upgrade the cid with XS++ then download last firmware cid52 and unlock/debrand with same procedure for cid52 phone:
Remove SIM-lock patch generator

Re: Help me select correct firmware please
Since Xs++ state that my current firmware version on my phone is; R1EG001
Can I assume that the download file: R1EG001_RED52 is the one to use?

When download firmware start simlock patch generator and just MAIN firmware drug&drop
on simlock window and in folder vkp you find patch for unlocking your phone
End for firmware R8BF003_RED52 is newest but I don't know what FS is for Canada - sorry,just wait for someone who knows
End one more thing - DON'T use RED53 because for now can't unlock CID53 for free

Since I;m in Canada I think the file i need is:
K790_R1EG001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52
I looked inside and all I see is :
K790_R1EG001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52.fbn
That is the FIrmware correct?
I also need Flash File System correct?. Is this file Flash File in download section?
It's as if you guys are steering me away from using XS++ and use the simlock patch generator instead.?

Then make Customize on File System, click Extract here on HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_107_R6A_GENERIC_AMERICA_2
Move folder TPA in new folder with name own_custpack, then move XS++ and folder own_custpack in New Folder and make this:

Excellent I will give it a try if I ever get a good working FS file for my K790A.
Re: Help me select correct firmware please
Now that I have flashed it successfully. Is the phone now considered unlocked?
