Make an upgrade through SEUS to get to CID52.
Then you need a MAIN, a FS and a custompack, avaliable in download area. Just make sure you get the same firmware version for the files, and pick Europe_2 versions of them, in order to keep your language. You also want the GENERIC version to get unbranded.
Grab GENERIC_MAIN, choose what FS you want depending upon the languages you want it to contain, and download a suitable custpack with it. You can find what langauges each FS contains here. A guide on how to flash it all to your phone. Since you are using a w810i cid 49, I would strongly suggest that what you download be R4EA031 cid 49, it is easily the firmware with the most amount of patches out of all the w810 firmware. It is also cid 49 which makes it just that much easier to break into with far than if you upgraded it to cid 50
these are the files you need to flash your phone:
Custom files: Downloads - w810custpack - W810_CDA102555_11_R2A_Generic_EUROPE_2 - Top Sony Forums
MAIN: Downloads - R4EA031_RED49 - W810_R4EA031_MAIN_GENERIC_HN_RED49 - Top Sony Forums
FS: Downloads - R4EA031_RED49 - W810_R4ED001_FS_EUROPE_2_RED49 - Top Sony Forums
Search for a flashing tutorial and follow the steps exactly.
Before doing anything back-up your GDFS, it is very important!!!
@Gnitrops why should he upgrade the CID? CID 52 isn't even avaible for W810i, try not to give incorrect information.
Best regards!
that has done the trick perfectly phone debranded and correct me if i'm wrong but it's unlocked now to.
thanks guys!!!!!!!
phone is not unlocked only debranded, try to insert SIM from other service provider and see if it works. to unlock it apply unlocking patch.
and what do i program do iuse to unlock it?
SeTool/XS++ and unlocking patch, the patch was posted on this thread,
Unlock and Reprogram help for SE W810i - Top Sony Forums
path is one time work "yes" or "no" after new flash it's loked
after new flash the phone will be locked again
I originally asked that question and the help I got allowed me to de-brand the phone. Unfortunately, I can't seem to write a patch to the phone.Quote:

Then I click the filefind button next to "Misc Files" and select "Remove_SIM_lock_W810_R4EA031.vkp" I then select "Write Script." I then see, "Going to execute VKP script."
The blue line runs to the end, starts over, runs to the end, and does this forever.
Finally I click "Stop."
The display says,
Abort all operations.
phone pre-boot failed,possible RECOVERY needed.
Elapsed:136 secs.
I then re-boot the phone, works fine, not unlocked.
I have done this about 2 million times with different versions of SETool and different copies of the same version. I have also tried XS++ but the "apply Patch" button is greyed out and I can't apply the patch.
What am I doing wrong?

Preboot failed means your phone could not be connected to SETool.
Often its due to a couple of reasons.
1.You're not pressing 'c' on the phone while connecting.
2.Your cable has dirty contacts(or your phone does) or it does not work.
3.You dont have USB flash drivers installed.
EDIT: MATE! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, EDIT YOUR POST AND REMOVE YOUR IMEI FROM ALL LOGS. You dont want poeple copying it :)
1. Yes I am.Quote:

3. Hmmmm... A possibility. Does SEtool need different drivers than XS++? If so, where do I get them and how do I load them?
Naa SETool does not require special drivers.
What did you use to flash? Was it SETool or something else?
And your phone works right? As in it functions properly right?
Oh ok I think i See the problem. After you IDENTIFY the phone you must AGAIN disconnect and reset (remove and replace the battery) and THEN click on WRITE Script. Then it's gonna say press 'c' and connect and only then you connect your phone.
That seems to have worked fine. The only SIM card I have is a NET10 prepaid card and it says "No network Service" even though I see bars. I can't connect to 611 but I can connect to 911. Since it doesn't say "invalid SIM" or something like that I assume that it is unlocked. I checked the Unlock menu and the 4 locks have a picture of a lock, and the network lock picture seems to have a little break in the hasp but the damn thing is so small I can't be sure.
lol
Yes as long as your phone does not say Invalid SIM I guess it unlocked.
I'm not too sure about the locks since we dont have locked GSM phones in my country, though i think that an unlocked icon has '5' written next to it and a locked one has '4' (err..not too sure about that).
Anyway you can try with a working SIM, that'd be the sure shot test.
I attached you the locks, first means locked the second means unlocked if all locks look like the second then your phone is unlocked
hi again guys, got new k800 today and tried to debrand it
and when i power on the phone i get "Configuration error. please contact your network operator or service centre"

Dont worry mate.
you have'nt done anything wrong.
You just forgot to finalize/customize your phone.
Use a cust pack that matches your CDA (cda102511/18 r16a) and firmware version (r3a022).
Upload it via xs++ or setool2 whatever you use.
And then it will work fine.
Um, which custpack is appropriate for W810_R4EA031_MAIN_CMCC_HN_RED49 ?
Maybe this one:
CDA102494/57 CMCC CMCC China
