Unlocking an Irish k800i

[whatamiat]

Hello all,
I bought a k800i a few weeks ago but wasnt able to use it as it was locked to o2 Ireland! Then I came across this fine site and find out that it is possible to unlock it for free!!!! My one problem is that I dont know what files I need to do this for my network and it wont let me download off this site either. Can anyone help me out?

you can patch unlock it for free, see here
Remove SIM-lock patch generator - Top Sony Forums

Thanks for your quick reply! the sim lock patch program is asking me for firmware files, I am unsure of where I get these?

[ts014]

you need to use xs++ to view what firmware your running then you need to download your main and the only place to get the correct firmware is the topsony download section,

Heres what xs++ says

Anyone know what file I need?

Edit: Im guessing its this one? CDA: CDA102511/40 R7A

you need R1KG001 red 52 firmware

[ts014]

you need K800_R1KG001_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52, before you can go any further, you need it to create and apply the patch.

I have this file:
K800_R1KG001_FS_EUROPE_2_RED52.fbn will it do?

[jasmin]

No, you need main file ( like Number 1 wrote ).

Nice day

Thanks, will I also need this CDA102511/40 R7A? Is the only way I can get that by posting 20 posts and being a member for 2months??!
