It's bloody hard to unlock but you can do it if you use the right tools and the right guide. but for now you should download xs++ to check what CID the phone is. just download any xs++ that supports your phone and check it right away eh? I hope you installed the USB drivers so that the program can connect to your phone! the drivers that came with your phone works as well.
to connect the the phone to xs++, open the program xs++ choose your phone on the drop down menu, select w880 (same as w880i), turn of your phone (if you havent already) take the sim card out, take the battery out, insert the battery again. (DONT TURN ON THE PHONE), hold the "2" button down, insert the USB cable that came with your phone. And xs++ should recognize your phone right away.
(note that this step taking the battery out and in again is normal to make the phone able to connect to the computer software)
