    I have read all guide and read the K790A phone with XS++ 3.1
    It's DB2020

    EROM CID 49

    This is a locked phone to Rogers Canada. Can you help select the proper firmeware files?

    OK for upgrading to CID 52 now

    There are so many files that ends in 52 to chose from in firmware download I do not know where to start.

    "Remove SIM-lock patch generator" What is that for? and is it a seperate tool?

    Re: Help me select correct firmware please

    Since Xs++ state that my current firmware version on my phone is; R1EG001

    Can I assume that the download file: R1EG001_RED52 is the one to use?

    When download firmware start simlock patch generator and just MAIN firmware drug&drop
    on simlock window and in folder vkp you find patch for unlocking your phone

    End for firmware R8BF003_RED52 is newest but I don't know what FS is for Canada - sorry,just wait for someone who knows

    End one more thing - DON'T use RED53 because for now can't unlock CID53 for free

    Since I;m in Canada I think the file i need is:

    K790_R1EG001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52

    I looked inside and all I see is :

    K790_R1EG001_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52.fbn

    That is the FIrmware correct?

    I also need Flash File System correct?. Is this file Flash File in download section?

    It's as if you guys are steering me away from using XS++ and use the simlock patch generator instead.?

    Cool Re: Help me select correct firmware please

    Nice. I'm using the XS++ guide has a reference and do not see any reference to simlock patch generator. What is this for?
