For DB 2020 you must apply first "quick access patch", then you can apply any patch, including sim unlock patch.

would some one be willing to talk me through it step by step , thanks

Try to power on the phone. Do you see any red light blinking near power on button(or infra port)? If yes then follow the REPAIRING EROM GUIDES for most sonyericsson phones.

Did you made a GDFS backup before any flashing/patching attempt? If yes, restore that. Otherwise follow the link given by seamonkey.

Then download the W850_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52 MAIN firmware(you can search for it using some search engine too), and flash it. You need this file to be able to unlock your phone too. Now try to turn on the phone. And tell us the result.

If everything is OK, you can unlock your phone by phone following the guide in first post of Remove SIM-lock patch generator thread(link in my signature).
