Remove SIM-lock patch generator

What happened exactly? Please post the SETool2 Lite log here...
However you can try to reflash the MAIN(but only the MAIN), and start the unlocking procedure from beginning again.

At the moment you can apply patches to DB2000/DB2010 CID36/49 and DB2020 CID52 platforms only.

Nice day

Yes, this last post cleared things a lot, I am sure many guys didnt know this, specially that the patch must be created off the MAIN file version which will be used for the operation.

People special care with this, have this clear !!! the patch must be from the version you will USE for the OPERATION on setool, and *NOT* from the version you have in the phone !

If unsure, Use always same MAIN file version than the version your phone is running.

Thank you Simox.

yurais:
Here is an example: suppose you have a K800 phone with R1ED001 version(K800_R1ED001_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52.mbn). But you can use version R8BA024(K800_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52.mbn) instead of R1ED001. So if you have a K800 phone then the MAIN firmware MUST BE a K800 MAIN, but the version may change. The patch version must be the same version as the MAIN what you added to SETool2 Lite. So if you add the K800_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52.mbn to SETool2 Lite, then you need to make a patch from it. It is clear now? :)

etel:

No, no, no... You need to drop(Windows drag and drop operation) the mbn file to qamaker.exe, and a couple of seconds you get the quick access_XXX patch.

suchit:
At the moment no.

any one have k320 patch file, pls give me

[simox]

K320 cannot be unlocked for free, because it is a DB2012 phone.

Hello. I'm new to this, so please bear with me.
I tried to perform the unlocking on my K800i using the guide at the beginning of this post (by Simox).
The phone is CDA102511/12 R18A FW Version R1KG001, DB2020, CID52 (locked to T-Mobile).
I was using Firmware version "K800_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52.mbn"
from topsony download section to generate the "vkp" file. and when I try to Flash, everything seems to go OK until the end where it says;

flashing upgrade archive:C:\: (file location)
bad file, will not flash it.
Elapsed:xxx seconds

Thats where it finishes, and I don't get any dialogue box pop up asking to remove or add the patch.
I dont know what to do now. I have tried it again with a newly made vkp file |(from the same firmware) but still didnt work. As I said I am new to this and am now a little afraid to try anything else incase i mess it up completely.
Any help really appreciated. Gollach.

[simox]

I think you put the *.mbn to Misc files box, but you need to add it with Add button.
Follow carefully the guide, and do not improvise.

[gollach]

Hi Simox.
I did use the add button to add the file. So I'm kind of at a loss what to try next.
Any ideas?

[gollach]

Sorry, I was using the add button to add the main firmware to SETool like I said, but it took me a while to realise I adding the vkp file using the "Firmware Upgrade Pack" box, instead of the "MISC" box.
Now that I did it correctly it worked great! Unlocked!
Thanks Simox for this great guide on doing this. Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of the annoying T-Mobile opening jingle (I'm sure I'l figure it out).
Thanks again, Gollach.
