Today I decided to try to unlock this, i never worked with unlocking before so all very new.
I spent 8 hours and still not working hopefully someone can help.
First I made the mistake of going to another forum from google and they said I should use SEUS - then after doing this I realise this is bad... after using SEUS and it made CID 53 =/ I thought this meant I'd ruined everything... however I saw a thread on here that said if that happens you should take the firmware to K810 53 firmware... So I managed to get to grips with far manager after some time and the great tutorial. Flash K800 CID53 with K810 software CID53 (for begginers) - Top Sony Forums
Not sure why this needed to be done I guess this is the debranding part? but I managed to do this by following the tutorial and all worked fine. Now I try to use SETOOL lite to unlock with a tutorial I have that says I should put main file in 'add' file, and then put patch file in misc - then click flash...
So I tried using the main k810 file I used from the tutorial i linked earlier, and a patch I have for r8 k810 unlock in the misc but it doesn't work...
I get this message..

So phone still not unlock - the patch to put k810 firmware on it seems to have debranded it all good - as it's no longer showing virgin logos, but I'm trying to figure out how I now unlock this so I can use my tmobile sim...
ANy help really appreciated thanks
