    Unlocking COMPLETED

    First i tried debranding my S500i with a S500i firmware, then i proceeded to use this instruction: http://www.topsony.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6329
    in order to unlock it. YES IT WENT SUCCESSFULLY BABY
    But still phone doesn't work with other carrier...lame??

    So i flashed it to W580i using this guide:
    HowardForums: Your Mobile Phone Community Debranding with SETool 2 Lite

    THEN i used the guide above: Remove SIM-lock patch generator using the w580i firmware in order to unlock it. Now i am not sure if this is ok (i wanted to try w580i) but the process went smoothly. Everything was done correctly. (Write Script worked in the end as well)

    But phone is still locked (is there a way to check if phone is really locked/unlocked)
    Any ideas on what might be the problem here?

    Just press:

    >*<<*<* then go to "Service info" and then "Sim lock". Now just check if the "Network" lock is open or not.

    As you can see above, it went smoothly

    Just press:

    Is that when the phone is on with a working SIM card in it?

    Have you get "some values differs" error during patching?

    Probably there is something wrong with the firmware. I suggest you to reflash completely(MAIN, FS, custom pack) your phone, then unlock it again. But first backup the user data from phone's memory(contact list, ring tones, pictures, etc.)
