Will I lose unlock if I debrand k800i

[gaz2373]

Hi I had my K800i unlocked from 3 network U.K last year by Davinci.

Software R1CD001 CID 49

I want to debrand it but if I do will I lose the unlock?

Thanks

You have to look up how you unlocked the phone. When it was patch unlocked it'll be locked after flashing the firmware. If it was full unlocked than it will stay unlocked after the update.

I looked on there website but I cant tell what method was used. When I got it unlocked it was kind of experimental as I was given instructions over IM cost 50 Euros though. Is there a way to tell from the service menu?

If you paid 50 €, then I think it`s a full unlock and not a patch unlock.

Unlock / DB2020 50 EUR**
Patch Unlock / DB2020 10 EUR**

So I think it will stay unlocked after debranding.

Nice day

If it was map based unlocking, it should be permanent.

Try to use SeTool2 Lite with "Identify". It should tell you if network status is LOCKED or UNLOCKED

same problem with W880i. didnt knew it it was wheter unlock or not. go to SETool2 Lite - SE-NSE Forums , get SETool2 Lite, connect the phone, and see if it's network locked, or not.

Se Tool says the following:

The only reference to locked is OTP

However when I check my W200i which was unlocked with a NCK code its says it is also otp locked:

Am I looking at the wrong locked status?

I think if you debrand your phone you'll still have unlocked phone, problem may be if you update your firmware
