You have to install the vodafone branded firmware.Search for it.
Also,this isnt called unlocking or debranding.You are branding your phone with a new firmware.If you want to debrand or unlock your phone you have to install generic firmware on it.
To unlock your phone you should use this program at this page:
Remove SIM-lock patch generator
But first you should brand it too Vodafone and then unlock it.
Nice day

now my k800i what i flashed wontn turn on or sx++ or setools lite 1.1 wont identfi it :( what now :(
Hello:) I get all the way to the setools bit with my k800i...but then I have problems applying the vkp patch....which code do I copy out of the generated vkp file?:) Everytime I attempt to use the quick access patch and then 'write script' I connect my phone and then it boots up 'file transfer mode' and the whole process fails :S:S:S
I would really appreciate some help guys! :) cheers Alec
it's because you have no quick access patch applied, so you need to use the db2020 bybass method first you need a fully charged battery, then select the db2020 bybass box, put your main firmware file in the files box, and put the patch in the misc box and press flash.
any1 help with my question please
hey del12 dude
you mean to say phone does not connect to XS++ and SEtool 2 lite ??
post your log...... lets all see it
I did try that......I flashed using an orange MAIN file and the vpk...with bypass enabled. Then I tried the quick patch ...and the phone boots up in file transfer mode just the same :S When I started the phone up I got a configuration file error Alec :O
cant even get a log it wont identefi my phone when i put it in the usb cable :(
iron mate you mind getting your own thread
so heres what i do to the k800i
i tryed to reapply the unlocking patch to the phone using setool 1.1 but i removed the cable as it wasnt working right so now the phone wont turn on or even let xs++ or setool1.1 read a thing is there any way i can sort this out or is the phone dead
thankyou del
@Ironaulie it's best to use gentric unbranded firmware not branded firmware,
@del12, try connecting to setool2 lite holding down 2+5 instead of C and also does your infra red link blink when you try to turn the phone on.
del12:
The EROM can be damaged. Follow this tutorial: REPAIRING EROM GUIDES for most sonyericsson phones
If not the EROM, then maybe the GDFS is corrupted. In this case you need to restore the GDFS backup what you made before trying to flash/patch the phone.
yes mate it worked i read in another thread couldnt belive it when it read the phoneQuote:

Remove SIM-lock patch generator
Nice day
Using simox SIM-Lock remover patch generator v2.1.. managed to unlock a K800i.. was on UK ASDA.. now works with Virgin..
and here's the results. (vsp file)

I first used XS++ to verify current software took a scrren shot of the text.
Showed phone was Db2020 / CID 52 / CDA102511-189 R1A/ running R1KG001 firmware.
I had already tried using the SE site update phone, but did not give me a newer firmware.
I also made a copy of the GDFS just in case with Setool2 Lite 1.11
I then followed the instructions kindly posted by someone else.
1. Downloaded the R8BA024 firmware files
K800_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52
K800_R8BA024_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52
2. Flashed them via XS++
- Flash the Main and FS files
- Select Customise, choose your region & re-flash (just the customise, and not the Main and FS)
3. Ran Simox's utility to generate the VKP file
4. Ran Setool2 Lite 1.11
- Choose phone
- In Files, add the Main firmware file
- In MISC files add the VKP generated by Simox's utility
- Select FLASH and then follow the instructions
- When a dialog comes up, select NO to apply the patch.
Removed Cable and put my Virgin sim in.. :) .. Oh I did have problems trying to get communication with my Vista 64 machine so I had to do all the technical stuff with my trusty old XP machine. Thanks to all the guys who made this possible. I've never attempted this on a phone before, and if I can do it anyone can
