Keiji, I have tried the simlock patch gen several times on my my 580i, and it shows all the padlocks unlocked, but stiill won't recognize another operator's sim. What Main file did you use, please?

Is it possible it is unlocked but still says Locked?

Yes, and it is a normal behaviour, because the SIM locks in GDFS are still locked, we 'just' cheat modifying the MAIN firmware.
To check if the phone is unlocked, try another SIM card. Also you can check in service ( >*<<*<*) menu, then Service Info then SIM Lock. Here all the padlock should be open.

Hi

You are a true gent and genius.

Saved my Orange k800 brick, I can now use my Vodaphone sim.

Not sure if this is covered but only slight problem is that I seem to now have a white background when it goes in to standby. This chews up battery life. Any suggestions appreciated.

Dave :)

You can try with another MAIN firmware as well, but if all the padlocks are open, then the patch works. Also I think the problem is that the other network operator(s) are blocking the phone's IMEI...

By the way what error message you get? The 'original' SIM card still works? If you have more SIM cards form different networks try all of them.

Hi, Simox, I know your patch generator works, which is why I'm really puzzled. I get "Insert Sim Or Press Demo" message on 2 different T-Mobile Sims. That is the default message on a 580, when there is no sim at all in the phone. My native Sim is AT&T and that works just fine. I know the phone is actually unlocked, because all the padlocks are open. I have, so far, tried 2 different MAINS, and 2 or 3 different combos of custom packs. The resulting error message is always exactly the same.

The most recent MAIN I tried was W580_R8BE001_MAIN_NAM_1_LA_RED52.mbn, but I have also tried W580_R8BE001_MAIN_GENERIC_LA_RED52.mbn

The one thing I will double check with you : Typically when using SETool lite, you take Sim, out, of course. During applying this particular patch, there is no reason to leave it in the phone, is there?

Thanks for trying to help, I do apprec your work on that program.:)

@01Maurice

Can u use xs++?

No, but you can use FAR manager + jdflasher and/or SEFP plugin to apply the patches instead of SETool2 Lite.
