K800i Unlocking Problem.

[Azul]

Okay, I'm really not sure what's going wrong here, but I'll tell you what I'm doing in as clear a way as I can and hopefully you'll spot some gaping idiot hole where I'm going wrong.

I'm unlocking using simox's Sim-unlock-generator and SE Tool 2 Lite.

I'll basically make a list of points and then you can tell me if I'm wrong on any of them, then I'll tell you where it all goes wrong.

Firmware on my K800i is Europe_2, so that means I need the Generic MAIN Firmware, yes? I've got the "K800_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52.mbn" file, so that should be right?

Ok well everything goes fine up until the flashing.
I've made the backup GDFS and stuff, so that's fine. But what happens is that, during the FLASH - using the quickaccess file (.vkp) file generated using the aforementioned MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52 in the MISC part, and that exact Firmware in the added files part - it goes great, but then in the log reaches "Part3".

I sit and watch it each time, and Part1 completes fine, then Part2, and then as expected the progress bar goes back to the beginning for Part3, the dialog says "Processing Part3..." and then...blue screen of death and my PC reboots and my K800 is a brick.

Thankfully thanks to the backup GDFS and the firmware I can revive it, but I've tried this 5 times now and the exact same thing happens each time.

There's no SIM in the phone and no mem card and the battery is fully charged.

I'm running Vista.

This is so frustrating. Any ideas? Thanks.

Oh yeah and before I de-branded this K800i ages ago (which since then has been sitting on my shelf) it was on 3.

CID is 52, firm is R1KG001 and colour of course is Red.

I've also tried just writing the script generated by simox's generator without creating the quickaccess patch, and this also gets so far and then fails.

So!
Help?!?!
Kind regards.

Use XS + +3.1 and flash File Sytem, then Customize File System and finally flash Main Generic.
Then again use Remove SIM-lock patch generator - Top Sony Forums
