w580 and embedded bootloader

[arjuna]

trying to unlock a w580. i downloaded the sim-lock gen and created a VKP file. i downloaded setool2lite and put the VKP file into the MISC section.

problem is when i go to "write script" the and plug the phone in, setool2lt reboots the phone and it goes back to it's normal file transfer mode.

here's the log...

Welcome to SEtool2 ( LITE edition ) v 1.11
supported DB2010/DB2012 CID49/50/51/52, DB2020 CID49/51/52
Loaded 51 flash descriptors
 
if you like LITE edition - please visit www.setool.net and buy FULL.
 
Going to execute VKP script....
ChipID:9900,EMP protocol:0301
PHONE IS RED RETAIL PRODUCT
FLASH CID detected:52
Speed:921600
Trying to launch embedded bootloader...
embedded flashloader not responds !
Elapsed:40 secs.

obviously i'm missing something basic, but i've gone through a few tutorials on flashing patches here and i get the same result.

any help appreciated, thanks.

I Got Exactly Whats Your Problem. You Are Patching For First Time So You Need To Follow Some Steps Before You Can Apply VKP Patches To Your Phone.
1. Drag the MAIN file (.mbn) that you have in your phone on to qamaker.exe From the qamaker folder that comes whith SETool2 Lite 1.11; this will create a vkp file;
2. The vkp file created in step 1 put it in to MISC FILES;
3. Click bypass db2020;
4. Add the main FW (.mbn) file (like you would like to flash it);
5. Press FLASH button;
6. Follow the instructions given by setool2 lite. Be carrefull! At one moment you will belive that nothing happens and the status windows is not changing! Not remove the CABLE! Wait until "ELAPSED x SECONDS" appears in status window.

This process will take some time, about 10-15 minutes or more

After this process, follow this steps for every patch with the condition to check "Use "quick access" patch": SE-Tuning How to apply patches with SETool 2 Lite

And Dont Worry. This Wont Do Anything To Your Files Contacts Settings etc.
