w880i - unlock problems

[simox]

When you want to turn on the phone, do you see a red blinking light near infra port? If yes, then can be due to discharged battery(in this case fully recharge the battery using other phone), or can be a dead EROM. In this case check this guide: REPAIRING EROM GUIDES for most sonyericsson phones

warning: don't ever use db2020 security bypass.

There is nothing wrong with db2020 security bypass if you use it properly, otherwise...you see the result...

When you repaired your phone, then use one of unlocking guides. Here is mine: Remove SIM-lock patch generator. Follow it carefully

Hi,

for some bad-ass reason, my phone responds to SeTools2 Lite and XS++ again.

SeTools tells me this error:

ChipID:9900,EMP protocol:0301
PHONE IS RED RETAIL PRODUCT
FLASH CID detected:52
Speed:921600
Flash ID check:897E
Flash props sent ok
OTP LOCKED:1 CID:51 PAF:1 IMEI:[NUMBER WAS HERE] CERT:RED
FLASH CID:52 COLOR:RED
set_gdfs_props failed, exiting
Elapsed:3 secs.

bad EROM?
