    Question Trouble unlocking SE W850i

    Hey, newbie here.

    I have had some trouble unlocking my W850i for use abroad (outside the UK) after flashing it with XS++ using the following files from this site:
    - W850_R1ED001_MAIN_GENERIC_CY_RED52.mbn
    - W850_R1ED001_FS_T_MOB_INT_B_RED52.fbn
    and in XS++ itself I selected the option to use
    - Custpack: EUROPE_1 (CDA102568/10)

    When I insert a different SIM card I'm told that the the incorrect SIM is inserted and looking in the service menu (>*<<*<*) under 'Service Info' - 'SIM lock' it shows a series of padlocks (where [U] is unlocked and [L] is locked) as follows:

    Network [U] 5
    Network subset [U] 5
    Service provider [U] 5
    Corporate [U] 5
    Extended [L] 5

    Can anyone help me? I'm assuming I need to unlock the "extended" service, but I have no idea what this is or how I can do it.

    Many thanks

    I managed to solve the problem.

    For anyone else struggling, this is the best guide out there: http://www.topsony.com/forum/unlocki...html#post57483 and all the programs you need can be downloaded here: Remove SIM Lock Tools.rar - File Shared from Box - Free Online File Storage

    Good luck!
