Remove SIM-lock patch generator

Simox - great tool! Thanks a bunch! It worked absolutely fine!

In case people wondered what I did to unlock and debrand the UK Voda K800 I had:

1. Downloaded the R8BA024 firmware files

K800_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52
K800_R8BA024_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52

2. Flashed them via XS++

- Flash the Main and FS files
- Select Customise, choose your region & re-flash (just the customise, and not the Main and FS)

3. Ran Simox's utility to generate the VKP file

4. Ran Setool2 Lite 1.11

- Choose phone
- In Files, add the Main firmware file
- In MISC files add the VKP generated by Simox's utility
- Select FLASH and then follow the instructions
- When a dialog comes up, select NO to apply the patch

... and there we go!! For me it was quite a journey back into the days I used to mess around with the K800 - although in those days there was no such thing as XS++ and Setool2 Lite, just FAR and the comercial products (Wotan, TMS etc).

Thanks a bunch Simox!!

Thanks a bunch Simox!!

So my tool generates working patch for K800(YES!!! :D). In this case the patch ported by hypeer it the bad one...
Thanx for testing my tool.

It is my pleasure - great work with the tool! Thanks a bunch for your work. If I could edit my K800 thread over on Esato I would post a link to your utility - for some reason it's become corrupt of late and doesn't allow me to edit it, hence the lack of the newer firmware revisions. Maybe i'll PM Masseur and get him to sort it out for me.

As I mentioned before, it's been an interesting couple of hours reintroducing myself to the K800 - one of the best phones ever released in opinion (unlike the K850, which I sent back after 3 days!).
