Remove SIM-lock patch generator

[simox]

It cannot be unlocked for free, because the patching tools aren't capable to apply patches to CID50 phones...

i think i just bricked my s500i, when i hold C and connect to pc, setool just not pick it up........ anyway to unbrick it?? help!!!

Have you installed the USB Flash Driver? If yes, then probably the EROM is damaged, so try this: REPAIRING EROM GUIDES for most sonyericsson phones

Simox: not sure if this has been mentioned here before or not (94 pages in this thread -- DAMN!), but I found a good way to check if the simlock patch works. Key in the sequence > * < < * < on your SE phone to enter the Service Info submenu. Click on SIM Lock and if the patch works, you should see Network has an "unlocked" icon and the number 5. If patch didn't work, it will have a "locked" icon and the number 10. Hope this helps others! (maybe you could add it to the 1st post too? Thanks for the update on the rest file, your tutorial is looking great)

tabinogi00, are you removing the battery in between flashing attempts?

does your phone try and boot into file transfer mode?

I wrote this method several times(not sure if in this topic). However I can add it to tutorial.

Yes, and counting :D

Thank you very very much indeed for this tutorial. I have tried for about 2 weeks to unlock my SE K800i using a 'method' sold to me by
Sony Ericsson K800i Unlock : K800i Cable Unlock
for £4.95 and they made a right mess of it!!!

I followed your instructions and within 1/2 hour had my phone unlocked!

Thanks again
