Hi I am hoping someone can help me. I bought a new W580i when I was in England. I live in America and need the phone unlocking here to AT&T network. At the moment it doesn't work at all over here. Every store I call cannot unlock it because the phone is too new and they don't have the software.
What do I do? How can I get it unlocked and working? I really want to use it.
Please Help.
on top sony go to forums>tutorials>and select what program ull be using
it will tell you what u need and how to use the program
Hey,
Small problem, there is no unlocking code for this model of phone. All the other's are on there but not the W580i....Thanks though! It really is impossible to unlock this phone.
I'm not 100% but as far as I can tell you need to unlock with something like Wotan. I've looked around briefly and that's the general consensus.
In any event using Wotan is not that difficult and the only downside is you have to pony up some $. Still way less than you would pay at an local unlocking store though... just my 2 cents.
Unless anyone else can provide insight on a totally free solution I think you're best bet is Wotan
EDIT: Do a search on this forum. After i posted this i did a quick search to verify my thoughts and I stand corrected. There is a free method.
I saw people talking about unlocking their w580i on the forum but it doesn't say how....
what is wotan?
I am completely not technoigicallly aware! Sorry!
why do u need a unlocking code?
The only way at the moment to unlock a W580i is through davinci and it costs 50 euro's
i unlcoked my w580i
used xs++ 2.0
used firmwares
used a w550 custom pack and everything worked fine so far
later ill get a w580i custom pack when ill be able to download it
You did not unlock it you debranded it.
Theres a cheaper way of unlocking it. Look around. I remember a site listing unlocking for only 13dollars or so
not possible freee unlocking pls check cid ur phone cid is 52 then not possible cid 49 then possible free unlocking
where I can dl w580i customize file??
do you even know the difference between unlock and debrand?? you can't unlock the phone with just flashing the FS and MAIN you have to access and alter the GDFS which is completely not related to the FS and MAINQuote:

all right dude no need to get offended, i was saying i unlocked my phone and then i flashed it
setoolbox3 can unlock w580?
Ok, so is there any way to unlock the w580i without coffing up any cash. We just switched to AT&T and got 2 free w580i's with our new contract. We have a couple of moto's from our old T-Mobile service which I unlocked, debranded, and modded to the max over and over. I am beginning to think that it was a mistake going with w580i's as from what I have seen, as of yet, they can't be unlocked without ponying up some dough??
Nope...not yet... Maybe in several months...There's not even a free patch for k800(which is cid 51) yet, so no chance for w580i(cid 52) in the following months...
there is a way to unlock the w580, check out this forum FREE W580i AT&T(USA) Unlocking
calling your operator is not really a cheap thing to do if you want your phone unlocked, at least in europe. they will charge you anyways...
