Nevermind, fixed it!

The error message I got while connecting to FAR/JDflasher was beacause the DCU-60 cable was bad. Had intermittent contact that caused some write error. Have now changed to a new cable:)

To remove the SIM-Lock I followed the steps in Any/ALL CID Patching Tutorial/Guide DB2020 | SE Flashing under "Note; if ByPass Package is not....." for firmwares that do not have Bypass packages:

Starting point: I have (and want to keep) R8BA024 firmware on my CID53 K810. Problem: SIMlock Bypass-package only exist for for R8BF003 and NOT for my R8BA024. I need to get around this problem so I do the following;
  1. Flash with R8B003 main+FS
  2. Upload executor.b, executor.jar and customize_upgrade.xml (made for R8B003) to FS
  3. Run executor in phone.
  4. Now flash with R8BA024 main firmware (using qa2020.xml)
  5. Flash with Quick_access.vkp (made for R8BA024). Disconnect
  6. Now flash with R8BA024 FS (using db2020 script and oflash). Disconnect
  7. Upload the Custompack for R8BA024 (using db2020 and OFS). Disconnect
  8. The phone is now ready to be flashed with the patch Remove_SIM_lock_K810_R8BA024_GENERIC.vkp (which I made by dragging the R8BA024 main onto the SIMLockPatchGen.exe file)
  9. The SIM-lock is now removed!


I was a complete noob when I first started this thread, and I have made quite a few trials&errors using FAR_FDflasher. I thought I had really screwed things up when my phone turned dead, but luckily that was just the DCU-60 cable being faulty! Now I feel a bit more comfortable with the whole flashing/patching business, thanks to all these wonderful tutorials on the net, as well as good advice (riders4sia).

Thanks! :D
