Unlocking and flashing my K810i

[sceney]

Hi!
I'm brand new to these forums, and simply put, I'm quite the newbie when it comes to these kinds of things.
I got my K810i as a Christmas present, but it's locked to a different provider than the one I use, so obviously i want to unlock it.

I've spent maybe 10-12 hours googling and browsing through different forums to find a solution, but I can't seem to find one ( I don't wanna pay for it, since I'm simply really, really, REALLY poor :( )

---
I've found a good guide on HOW to unlock, flash, patch etc., but my problem is that I can't really find any appropriate firmware or custom packs.

Here are my specs:
-
Phone: SE K810i
Platform: DB2020
EROM CID: 52
EROM Color: Red
Firmware Version: R8BE001
-

The closest I've gotten is the R8BE001_RED53 firmware. Now, this is CID53(?), and I have CID52. I just can't seem to find the right one. Now, are these firmwares even usable with my phone? What do you guys recommend me to do? I'd like the language to be in Norwegian, which is, as far as i know, in a pack called EUROPE4 or something like that. If this doesn't exist, English language could work aswell.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,
A.

Read here: http://www.topsony.com/forum/far-manager-f31/flash-k800-cid53-k810-software-cid53-begginers-t11605.html#post89845 and use these files to debrand:

Thanks, jasmin!
Before I do anything, I'd really like your personal advice on this case. Are there any risks of making my phone CID53, besides the fact that i can't reverse the process?
What do YOU think i should do?

[azncheng]

using d-ultimated unlcoker is the best way to go

Don`t convert your cid to cid53 , because then you can`t unlock it for free.

For flashing use this files:

K810_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_SM_RED52
K810_R8BA024_FS_EUROPE_4_RED52
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_13_R6A_GENERIC_EUROPE_4

All files are in download section.

Have a nice day

Ah, so then I am just about ready to begin (I'm a real wuss and don't wanna do anything wrong :p)


Since i have R8BE001 firmware at the moment, aren't the ones you listed wrong for my phone? And the last one on that list, what makes it RIGHT for my phone?
(K810_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_SM_RED52
K810_R8BA024_FS_EUROPE_4_RED52
HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_13_R6A_GENERIC_EUROPE_4)

Or am i just REALLY clueless? I thought I had to match the firmware type/version for it to work on my phone, but I don't?


Btw, have a splendid day your self! :)
