Connect it to xs++ and copy your phones log without IMEI number.

You can use this firmware, if you want debrand your phone:

Thanks Jasmine. For the quick repsponse.
It was 3:00 in the morning for me and thought no one else on line there, went to bed :-)
I was using Setool2lt to get the info above now using XS++ and log make sense now. Here is new log:

10:09:31| Firmware Version: R1JC002
10:09:31| EROM: R3A022

So I will need use this one right?
K790_R1JC002_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52
K790_R1JC002_MAIN_GENERIC_EV_RED52
BTW,what is the 3rd file use for?
What's different between different contry/distrct or generic?
I can't download the file from TopSony. It said I will need to pay. but this is my status:
Allowances: 3 files/0 used
Category last synchronised: 07-12-2008 09:18 AM
Next scheduled synchronisation: 07-12-2008 09:20 AM
do you know why? is 100 mb is good enough for my task-- I'll need the file today and get it done today.
Please help

Thanks very much

No,use files what @jasmin says to use
third file is custpack and you need that file to finalize flashing
and finaly about download access - Top Sony Forums - Request access to Download Area

Nice day

Are these files for debrand?
I got these file:
K790_R1JC002_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52
K790_R1JC002_MAIN_GENERIC_EV_RED52

Are these are right one for my cell?
Please advice

[lavondys]

No as stated before jasmin's are the correct ones to use.

There up to date and generic which means they will also debrand your phone.

Now I got it.
It seems there are few ways to unlock the phone:
1) use XS++ with Jasmine's 3 files
2) use Simox's way from TopSony which is using my files and generate unlock patch.
Am I right?

I now ready to go for unlock my k790.
I will post my result later

Thanks all for the help.

[jasmin]

Nice day

Thank you all for the help.
I got my K790 works.

1) Just 2 comments here:
I couldn't fine the file:
K790_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_EV_RED52
K790_R8BF003_FS_AMERICA_1_RED52

So I use these instead - and it is working too
K790_R6BC002_MAIN_GENERIC_EV_RED52
K790_R6BC002_FS_AMERICA_2_RED52
The file can be found here
"http://www.4shared.com/dir/2421943/20dbe288/sharing.html"

2) I wasn't clear about this:
"2. In Windows Explorer drag the MAIN file (.mbn) onto [SETool2 Lite v1.11 folder]\qamaker\qamaker.exe. In the qamaker's folder you will get a quick_access_XXXX_XXXXXXX.vkp file."
So I used other way instead -- it is about the same
"http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1306915"

Just to make sure that you need check “Bypass DB2020 Security” when use SETOOL2LITE tool to flash.

To verify if it is unlocked debranded just do ( >*<<*<* ) on your cell. It will bring you in service menu-SIMlock menu - and all item there should be dispay as unlocked.

Thanks again for overyone's help.
Btw, anyone know how can unlock LGCG180 from AT&T? -- trying to search but hard to find.
