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

[kurtas2006]

I am trying to unlock a cid53 w880i. I have followed the tutorial but after I apply the rest file and the qa vkp my phone will not turn on. I reflash with main and fs and it turns on. What am I doing wrong ? I want to unlock my phone.

thanks in advance.

Patched w880i with CID 53 R8BA024 successfully, also applied simlock patch from patches download area, phone now unlocked. The instructions are a little confusing, so I've made some suggestions -

Step 1 - Do not use the latest version of jdflasher, for some reason it'll give you an error message (see post by zylor on earlier page). I used a slightly older version and was able to get the ofs loader working correctly.

Step 2 - make sure to copy over the qa2020 from anycid to the jdflasher scripts folder. The original one that comes with jdflasher won't work.

Take out the battery everytime you finish a step!

In order to use jdflasher, put the three components that are called for (executor, custom firmware, .jar file) into a folder in the jdflasher folder in far manager. That way when you want to transfer the three files into the phone, they'll be in the right area.

See [URL="http://www.topsony.com/forum/far-manager-f31/flash-k800-cid53-k810-software-cid53-begginers-t11605.html"] on how to use the far manager and jdflasher.

Put the three files above into the phone's directory (you'll see it on the left side of the far manager after connecting correctly), click on tpa, then preset, then custom and you'll come to a folder with alot of files. Just drag the three files over from your computer's directory on the right to the left side, a little window will come up asking if you want to copy, just click yes.

After disconnecting the phone you should see the executor file in the games section of the phone files (should not be in the memory card archives), click on the file and it should start up. The phone will turn off and promptly take out the battery before it starts up again.

At this point the original post is pretty clear. Remember with the w880 you need to press 2 instead of c to boot into the firmware.

Look for the unlock patch in the patches section, just drag the patch from your computer over to the phone using jdflasher after installing the firmware and quick access patch. It took me a couple of days of trying but eventually through trial and error and looking at many different tutorials, I finally have an unlocked phone!

Cheers to all, hope this helps someone!

Turns out I had to flash main (after applying the rest) and then apply the unlock patch. Works fine now.
