    K800i Quick question

    Ok, i've previously flashed a K700i and K850i...but flashing this K800i is a PITA.

    I've got XS++ 3.1
    Upgraded the phone from CID 49 to CID 52
    Checked the USIM Lock and they are all 5.

    I've got the following when connected:
    22:37:10| Profiling SEMC phone...
    22:37:10| Platform: DB2020
    22:37:10| OTP CID: 49
    22:37:10| EROM CID: 52
    22:37:10| EROM Color: Red
    22:37:10| IMEI: 35342701xxxxxx
    22:37:10| Phone ID: K800
    22:37:10| Region: HUTCH_1
    22:37:10| CDA: CDA102511/73 R10A
    22:37:10| Firmware Version: R1CB001
    22:37:10| EROM: R3A011
    22:37:10| Ready for operation!

    Now, the question is:
    Will the following be OK for Australia Region (English)?
    Also, will the phone sim lock if upgraded? I've used davinci and it says its sim locked but the phone doesnt? Its a 3 phone and I have a Vodafone sim at the moment.

    Found this on Top Sony - CDA K800

    CDA102511/83 EUROPE_2 Generic Trade Australia

    Which lead me to these files:
    K800_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52.mbn
    K800_R8BF003_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52.fbn

    Any help would be appreciated. :o

    ok if your flashing seems fine same fs and main and right custpack.
    i dont understand the question your asking?
    if your asking if your sim becomes locked when upgrading, well ive tried it and nothings happened but if it does become locked you can use the simlock patch.

    The custom file must match with the FS, so you should use:
    HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_11_R6A_GENERIC_EUROPE_2, or
    HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_11_R8A_GENERIC_EUROPE_2.
    If you made a "patch unlock" with Davinci(10EUR), your phone will be locked back.

    Re: K800i Quick question

    Sorry for not making it clear. My question is, are those 2 files ok for the phone in Australia?

    K800_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52.mbn
    K800_R8BF003_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52.fbn

    You can use any firmware all around the world.

    The thing is what languages do you need? All firmwares have English.

    Remember, if you make a full flash, you will lose the patch unlock.

    CDA102511/83 EUROPE_2 Generic Trade Australia

    Yes, it matches the FS you are trying to use.

    You can follow jasmin's procedure, but first you must check what CID you have. If you have CID 53, you can't unlock your phone for free.
