    Exclamation AHHHH i need help BAD...

    OK i have posted here before and it was on unlocking my S500i.
    woopdydoo. just like everyone else.

    until now.

    ok so i decided to get it professionally done, cause im lazy.
    so i called a place they couldnt do it.
    called another, they couldnt do it.
    i said, "ok thats fine ill just look online, there are like a million. One should work."

    ...i was dead wrong.
    i went to maybe 6 or 7 different sites and they ALL had to refund my money because they couldnt do it...WTF.

    i called Sony Ericsson, AT&T (my carrier), AND cincinnati bell (the place that unlocked my phone originally i think, since my phone says "cincinnati bell" when it shuts off) and they all cannot give me the NCK code...

    HELP.

    please i need to get this unlocked. its been months. yeah i know.

    willing to pay $$$ to get it done.


    SIDENOTE:
    how did it get locked in the first place?
    Well i bought it from amazon.com and it came unlocked.
    but i did a system update on my phone, cause my comp said to, and it locked...
    NO ONE told me ANYTHING about the phone locking when you update the software...
    i know friends who have S500i and they update it fine, WITHOUT it locking up again...

    BTW, i live in the states, if that makes a difference.

    Sorry for this long thread...im just really frustrated by this whole event...

    Your phone got looked because SEUS rebranded it with branded firmware. You can easily patch unlock and debrand your phone if you don't want the branded firmware. However, if you do patch unlock, you need to unlock the phone each time you upgrade the firmware.

    Remove SIM-lock patch generator

    As for debrand, just download the firmware files for your phone. I prefer to use CID52 over CID53. Then use XS++ to flash it.

    Remember to debrand first, then unlock. If it's CID53, I can't help you there but search around the forums.

    Your phone was locked because SEUS changed your patched MAIN with an updated one(branded or unbranded, doesn't matter).
    If you're willing to pay and you want a professionaly unlock use Top Sony - Buy Ultimate Unlocker LOGs ;with a 10$ fee you'll get a permanent unlock and downgrade to CID52.
