Hi I have a major problem and despite struggling with my phone for the last 1 day, uing FarManager, SeTool2, SeTool2Lite and XS++ i am still not able to resolve my issue !!

1 I had a sony ericsson phone (W580i ) from Rogers Telecom (bought in Dec 2007), which i had unlocked in Feb 2008.

2. It was unlocked perfectly and was working fine until i decided to automatically upgrade it. I used SEUS ( the automatic update service ) to update my phone. After the update, I used the phone on Rogers network, and later kept it aside since I had gotten another phone.

3. Now almost after 1 year I took out the W580 phone again, bought a Fido SIM and tried using it, only to realize that it will not accept any non-Rogers SIM.

4. I researched on forums and tried checking my firmware to realize that W580 security had been automatically upgraded to CD53 and the phone was relocked to Rogers ( perhaps during the SEUS update).


5. I have used FarManager to Flash W580 with a new CD53 Firmware and FS, but the phone is still locked.

6. I also generated a phone unlocking TKP patch using SIMLockPatchGen_v2.2.rar ( for the new CD53 firmware / MBN ) but i am unable to apply it using setool2lite ....

Please help me with this, as I am really confused and need to fix this ASAP !!
find below the logs ...

Abort all operations.

Basically, after identifying the phone succesfully setool2lite is not able to do any other
operation, neither can it read GDFS properly, nor can it write the TKP script !!!

( after IDENTIFYING the phone, I disconnect the phone, plug the battery again, press "READ GDFS" and insert cable while pressing in C key )

Will backup GDFS now.

Also, i wanted to to know if above steps are the right way to use setool2
As far as FarMNanager is concerned, once the phone it identified i donot have to dicsonnect everytime after flashing firmwares or uploading XML files ???
So does, setool2 reauire me to connect the phone everytime again for each new operation ?

Also would it be possible to generate the unlock code based on the IMEI number ??( perhaps decoding the tkp patch info may help)

thanks for the help
