[SOLVED] Problem unlocking k800i
Hi!
I'm trying to unlock my k800i. First thing I did was to download setool2lite and ran it. I clicked "Read GDFS" and I get the message that "no suitable fsloader found".
Does anyone know what I might have missed? I'm a real amateur when it comes to these things, unfortunately.
Best wishes,
Nexhat from Sweden!

Did you install USB flash drivers ? Did Setool recognize your phone? If it is post log here or even better get log from XS++
Re: Problem unlocking k800i
and maybe run first "idnetify" from menu to get info about your cell
Re: Problem unlocking k800i
Hi guys!
First: thanks for taking your time to answer me.
Second: I have run "Identify" and I found out the CID and the firmware. The problem now is that when I try to make patch it will not work.
Can it depend on CID? I have CID 49 and if I donīt remember wrong you have to upgrade to CID 52, is that right? If so, how do I upgrade?
Thanks, Nexhat
Re: Problem unlocking k800i
Try to redownload the program and update it to v1.11. You should also make sure you have the semc flash driver installed and the phone off and holding 'c' on your phone when you connect your phone

Well use XS++ 3.1 (Darwin) and when you connect your phone with XS++ that program will offer you to upgrade your CID49 to CID52
Re: Problem unlocking k800i
Re: Problem unlocking k800i
Seamonkey, is there another way to upgrade to CID52 because I am used to using SEtool and I want to continue with it. I have searched in the forums but cannot find anything!
Thanks, by the way!
Re: Problem unlocking k800i
in xs is very simple to just bump up cid, first you have to click "connect", attach phone and second program will ask you for upgrade to 52cid, click "yes" and thats all
only two clicks and las than minute waiting.

Okay, thanks OWIES... My question now is WHERE can i download xs++ 3.1? I can't download it here (on topsony) since I just recently became a member.
And is it hard to learn how to unlock my k800i with xs++? It took me forever to learn with setool so I hope it's not such a big difference....
Re: Problem unlocking k800i
it`s easy to find on web, just use google power ;)
If you know how to unlock using setool then do it that way :)
Re: Problem unlocking k800i
Guys, I managed to upgrade now but I still have problem.
This time it's the firmware.
Do I need to TWO firmwares or only ONE?
Where can I find the firmware? I couldn't find anything on 4shared.com.
My phone is R1CB001 CID 52.
Please help me...

You don't need to learn use XS++.Use it just to upgrade CID of your phone and unlock with Setool

Yes, but I can't find the FS firmware for k800i R1CB001.
Anyone can help?
Re: Problem unlocking k800i
It is pointless to reflash the FS(but if you do, then first backup everything from phone's internal memory, because all data will be lost). Just download the MAIN firmware, and follow the guide in first post of Remove SIM-lock patch generator thread(link in my signature).

īSimox, thanks for helping! Unfortunately there's another problem now :(
In the end, when I have flashed my phone and made the patch and I click on the "Write SCRIPT" button and connect my USB cable, than my phone starts although I press button C on phone.
Do you know what the problem is?
Thank you!
Re: Problem unlocking k800i
Tuki, i'm also a new member on top-sony forums and averything i can help you is to give u some web pages to find a solution for ur problem. I'm using k800i on vodafon(it was unlocked for all networks) and when i updated with seus (sonyericsson update service) it locked himself and become a cid 53 phone. Dont use seus for updating ur phone. Everythin what i could do is to pay for unlocking my phone. I wish u luck with this and be very carreful.
Re: Problem unlocking k800i
Tuki try to pres "c" and hold it before you inserd battery and relese it only after connect to cable. At last you can try to use 2+5 buttons to connect, and after that try normal "c" method.

Struja, thanks for your advice, it's always good to know what to do and not do!
Right now I'm totally stuck and hope someone here recognizes the problem I explained above and knows how to help me.
I should have locked up my phone in my homecountry (Kosovo) when I was there during the summer because here in Sweden they charge way to much to unlock phones! My operator wants 35Ģ.
Anyway, have a nice day!

Okay, I'll try it right now and I'll let you know, OWIES.
Thanks for your time. Hope your solution works because I'm so frustrated because I'm so close to unlock my k800i.
You can't imagine how happy I would be :)
Anyway, I'll let you know when I tried it!
Re: Problem unlocking k800i

Wihiiiii!!! Hehehehe
