Patching CID53 (DB2020) and any CID (DB2010,DB2012)

[maximenis]

Hi i am trying to unlock a w880i that is locked to t mobile, at the point where you have to turn the phone on and run the executor file, from the file menu, i assume i will need a t-mobile simcard, as i cannot access file manager/games without a sim or with a different sim, please can anyone tell me if my assumption is correct. Thanks

By the way great site have been reading for 3 days solid.

You can't complete the process without a sim card, otherwise the phone will only allow you to go into demo mode.

Thanks maximenis, thats what I thought.

I haven't actually started the process yet, just done a lot of reading trying to get my head round the process.

Thanks again.

i have a w200 DB2010 cid53.. i can't make a vkp quick access file patch.what to do??

[madthedad]

Ok, I have gone through the process (I think), the phone takes another sim, but after the phone goes through the process of obtaining settings via network, I get Inactive sim, although the phone is fully acessable the sim will not make or recieve calls, it is recognising the sim as O2 UK initialy when the phone is turned on.

Also in the tutorial it mentions removing the 3 files exacutor jar exacutor p and the upgrade file, when i go back in to find them where i put them (as instructed by tutorial) they are not visable, I say visable as the exacutor file was still visable in file menu/ games on the phone (where I was able to delete it) but they weren't visable through far/jd.

Any help would be appreciated.

*UPDATE*
I have followed the process again to the letter no errors, I have checked the service settings, simlock shows ALL padlocks 5 and unlocked.
When I insert my personal 02 sim I can ODDLY get on the internet and browse, yet it says sim in active and i cannot make or recieve calls or texts.
The phone is being done(or attempted) for my son who also has an 02 card, my wife has an 02 card they show and do the same.

Am I missing something guys??

PS 3 02 cards have been tried, intially the phones show 02 uk but then after several seconds they show inactive sim, 2 of these cards were taken out of other phones where there were no problems (full service).

Thanks........

I guess the process doesn't actually work for a cid 53 w880i

i have the same problem as Mobile Man, once i go to open the bflash folder, my K800's screen lights up on the "run flashed loader" line, then cuts to File Transfer mode, with Far+JD giving that error... any suggestions?

K800 - R8BF003 Generic - Red - CID53

EDIT:
Mobile Man (and others with same problem), i fixed it on my phone, i turned on my phone and relaunched executor, then reconnected to far+JD using qa2020, all went well from there and i've now a fully unlocked K800 :)

Well EccTM, I have a W880i and I have the same problem, can you explain it a little bit better? Should I transfer the execute.b file to my phone or?
Please respond on this one, I'm quite frankly lost right now :(
or could anyone else respond on this one?

Hi!

I was trying to unlock the simlock of my W880i (Red CID53, DB2020, Firmware Version: R6BC002.)

I was following a guide, which wasn't clear enough, I guess.
As you probably know, there is no executor for my version in the anycid.rar, so I followed the instructions of the guide for these cases:

- get a main file, which HAS executor in the anycid.rar.
I picked R8BA24 main and fs files (and also the main and fs files for MY version R6BC002).

- make rest and qa patch files using R8BA24.mbn.

- now flash the phone with far using db2020 script, upload the R8BA24.mbn into the oflash folder as a babe image, up-up-up, disconnect, akku out-in.

- now flash again, now upload the executor files (.b, .jar, .xml) into the \tpa\preset\custom\ folder, and disconnect again, akku out, accepted sim in, akku in, turn on, go to games, start executor, whis supposed to shut down the phone. (it succeeded)

- now use FAR again, with the proper qa2020.xml, I connected the phone using this script. Enter "bflash".

[from this point, I was not sure which files has to be copied, I tell the story the way I did.]

- the guide said, upload here the rest file, but it hadn't mentioned, which version, so I uploaded the rest file (as a babe image) made of the mnb of MY firmware version. (maybe here I was slid:)

- upload the main file (as a babe image) for MY firmware version

- upload the qa patch vkp (as a vkp patch) (made by using MY firmware version)

- upload the unlocking vkp file

At this point I was shocked, wtf? Which unlocking vkp?

So I started to seek for other guides, and found one, which mentioned at this last step to upload the fs file, too (for MY frimware version), so I did it, however it didn't mention any unlocking vkp file. (I was more confused at this point.)

Than disconnect, akku out, (originally unaccepted) simcard in, akku in, turning on.

I was glad first, because the phone language was set back to mine, the phone was loading something, then it said, not supported SIM, insert blabla.
Yeah, I screwed something, so I decided to start all over.

As you see, it seemed that I can start again safely, because the status of my phone was exactly as it had been at the very first time.

I was planning to upload the other rest file, not the one made of MY main version.

I did as it was said:
- connect using db2020, upload the OTHER (R8BA24) main into the oflash folder, than disconnect, akku blabla. Done.

- Do not turn on, connect again instead, copy the executor files, disconnect, akku out, supported sim in, akku in, turn on, and OOOPS! I got this error:

"Configuration error. Please contact your network operator or service centre."

I freezed, what the hell?

So I started to redo things I'd done: uploaded the OTHER main again, then the main and the fs again, then MY main, my fs, but nothing helped, still throwing the same error.

Then I figured, whether I sould upload MY main using qa2020, so I connected successfully, but when I tried to enter "bflash" after some loading it halted:

And right after this error the phone connects to the computer as an USB-storage.

Now I stopped trying anything, and asked for help.

Could anyone please help me out? :confused:

Thanks very much in advance!

Yours,
Boss


MOD:
I'v figured out the problem, browsing and reading a lot of topics... I needed to customize my phone, which isn't so trivial, when you read this alone, and nothing else. :D

Thx anyway!

Boss Hun

I have encountered the same problem. Please show me how to get this through - how do I customized my phone

I have a w880i DB2020 Red CID 53

thanks

[PinOutMe]

confused...

what if there is no suitable executor for my phone?
(for example my phone is W810 R4BD, but there is only R3BD on the executor..Just an example)

what should i do??

[riders4sia]

well then, you should have to use R3BD to do it
