    You can't unlock it because it's CID 53.

    how to unlock w580i cid53?

    Is it possible to downgrade to CID 52???

    I must be confused because I have tried the procedure from Tutorial on how to patch unlock DB2020 phones for free - Top Sony Forums Unlocking and it says to Upgrad CID 52 but when I I try this there is a problem with the boot loader aka locked I think....

    I'm at the point where I think we need cross pins (I forgot the name but you have to block or short within the female part on the phone where you plug in e usb cord...)

    I never actually did it on the E1 but I wonder if this trick can be applied here...

    Mine is a Refurb I got for 20 bucks from ATT so I ready to do some damage to it!!!

    I miss my E2 Laugh if you like but I'm finding all my games and apps, movies and shows I converted will work on this phone but the OS is locked!!! Give me a break on this SE stuff... I'm almost ready to go back to my E1 which I still have...

    What do you mean by bflash????

    Are you talking about the FS cause I did find that it should be possible to unbrand without all the shorting... or so it says...

    I don't think there is any free solution to unlock Cid53 phones.
