Hi all,

I Flashed my W580i to debrand with some SE-NSE users help a few days ago.

Going a little bit further i searched and asked for help from them on how to remove this phone's simlock and everything seemed to work fine ( SEtool Reflashing: Main, FS, Custpack, FAR and jdflasher followed all the steps )

The simlock persisted after the patching so after 2 days searching i used Ultimate Unlocker and did a permanent unlock to my phone ... Result : Amaizingly NOT WORKING !

Well , Logs explain it better than me so here it goes (actual phone status logs):

So , resuming the situation about the phone :

- Inserting <**< i get Network = Unlocked , Subnetwork = Unlocked !

- When i remove my original SIM card in order to put a Vodafone card i get "Insert SIM card or view the phone demo" dialogue.

If i go to the secret menu -> * <- <- * <- * ->, Service Info, SIM Lock i get :
- Network (unlocked symbol) 3
-Subnetwork (unlocked symbol) 5
-Service Provider (unlocked symbol) 5
-Group (unlocked symbol) 5
-"Enlarged"?? (unlocked symbol) 5


I'm lost... Seems that the phone really is unlocked but no way i can make another sim to work on it....
Any Suggestions?


Regards,
