One general question. Why should I flash my fone with certain .mbn files. What flashing actually allow us to gain than the unflashed original firmware???
Im afraid to flash my new w810i even when i have downloaded all necessary files. By not knowing why im doing, i can’t flash my fone……
Please explain about this……..
i did not get you
to apply a patch .. the patch must be for your firmware
all patch provide info about the firmware for which they are made
Hi, my phone says it is db2010 but its w200i. cid52. isit possible to apply an unlock patch to this? sorry if its a stupid question, im new to this! thanks.
yeah it supports .. if it does not then it says unsupported combination ! am not sure in this case but !
where can i download a vkp patch for my w810i R4EA031 Main Generic red 49???
you mean ?? what vkp patch ??
create the unlock VKP patch using Simox Program and your main !
thanks lol, checkin it out right now
here we don’t have to apply quick access patch. thats cool man. hey akshay i have got z558i. i need its firmware and patches for free. can u suggest any site for it.
Hey in settool2lt say me that my w810 is unsuported combination (DB2010, CID49) what can i do now?
why i cant unlock this?
sorry i have forgot to chose my phone model in the dropdown menu u have forgot it. 4 Noobs like me
That is sort of obvious, you know. 😉
hi i have flashed my db2020 k610 to w660 sucessufully so i no quite a bit about it how ether my brothers phone w700i i try to apply unlock patch using simlock pathc generrater or what eva it called but doesnt work i no i have got the rite firmware version and all that but it just doesnt work i used setol v1.11 like told to plz help me as i really need to do this in time for my brothers birthday
I have only tried unlocking a DB2010 phone once, a K750@W800, but after I did it, it was dead…
Hi, i tried to make a vkp patch using simox but it didn’t work. My phone is w200i, where can I get a vkp patch for it…it says it is cid52 and db2010. Thanks.
W200 and DB2010? Is that sure? W200 should be DB2012.
When i connect it, it identifies it as a db2010 so im assuming this was it…could it be a mistake?
Try flashing a different version of firmware and patch that with a new patch you generate with simox….
My firmware is R4GB001. Which different version of firmware should I use…
It doesn’t matter, but try to use the newest you can get. And of couse only use firmware for your phone type. 😉
hiya, thanks for your help. but still no luck!! even after flashing a different firmware. i get a message in setool when i identify saing ‘restoration file not present – perform full flashing to unlock’
I don’t get it. SeTool shouldn’t even know that you are trying to unlock it. It is just applying a VKP patch. Are you clicking the right buttons?
hey peti did does thie method of unlocking really work ??
many guys here are failing !
but this is the way to unlock now … what happened to your tests ? on your friends phone ?
Hiya, yeah I am pretty sure I’m clicking the right buttons, simple by clicking on identify I get the message I mentioned. I’ve got another problem now, I flashed to a newer firmware using xs++, and when I go to the menu, it works but first has a message stating ‘errors occur in the menu.ml file. this may render the menu unusable’….so confused?
Yeah, I had the phone of my friend, it was a branded K750i, to T-Mobile. I flashed to W800i, and then I tried to unlock it. Though I didn’t read this tutorial, cuz’ it didn’t exist back then. I think I did it like this, but I will try to do it again in a few weeks, I suppose. The only thing holding me back is that I’m having 3 competitions next week, so I don’t have much for DB2010 phones. 😀
Hey Ak, im trying to do some gfx patching such as Frisk’s sysgfx battery etc but it doesnt tell me to reconnect the phone, it just asks if i want to apply it as shown
Starting to process VKP patch script: G:\Program Files\battery_8.vkp

Is any other patch working?
Thank you so much for the detailed description, I already tried this way to unlock my phone based on other sites, but I needed a little more help, and finally I got it.
However I still have a little problem, now my phone is unlocked, and works, except before I open the menu it says “dynamic menu error”, and when I try to send sms my phone shuts down (I can make phone calls for now:)at least.
Can you help me how to fix it?
Niki
to fix that reflash FS…! if that’s not working
then reflash main also and unlock again
bustamo is that for your phone ?
OK, I’ll try. Yes it’s my phone w810i from USA and I’m using it in Hungary.
Thanks.
yeh but i assume some patches are conflicting coz i applied them but they dont show so i used jdflasher plugin on far like ur tutorial but it corrupted my main. Also when apllying patches via setool2, it doesnt ask for the phone to be reconnected.
@Niki: do you use CENT_EUROPE FS? So you could have Hungarian language in it? 😛
Hmm. I don’t know if we could talk here in Hungarian, or not…
Hi Peti,
I have the generic main so I guess I can’t do CE FS, it doesn’t rally matter to me anyway what language on it. I guess we can’t talk Hungarian here….
Akshay,
I never flashed the FS yet (this is the first phone I ever played with anyway), so I need more reading on that subject. I’m middle of moving now, don’t have the time, but I’ll be back if I fixed it (or get stuck).
Niki
Hey just want to ask if i want to apply more than one patch, do i have to combine them to form only one vkp file?
no you can apply seperately
Ah man – this is fantastic. 🙂 Finally, firmware that is freely downloadable. I have a question though, for which I still haven’t really been able to find an answer. My w810 is branded to Vodafone in South Africa, and is CID49 with R4EA031. If I flash it with your firmware, will I still be able to use the phone here in SA? And silly question, but my phone will be in English, right?
Thanks for your effort. I’m sure many appreciate it!
this is for unlocking
you can flash firmware with XS++
you can download w810 firmware from all over internet … 4shared , rapidshare, esnips , or at this site
http://k750.extra.hu
yeah debrand it and you can use it no problems
also unlock it if you want
Thanks for the reply; much appreciated. In your article, you already posted a link to http://sek750.extra.hu/letoltes/?path=./ which contains firmware for various phones, including the SE w810. 🙂
Just one more question – can I flash the MAIN and keep my FS as it is, or make a backup and restore it later? I haven’t been able to find an FS for South Africa Vodaphone, so I’m thinking of just flashing the MAIN. Do you think this would work?
When i use setools to patch it always rewrites the main then it patches. So when i try to patch new vkps the previous patches are erased. Is there any way to prevent rewriting of main? Or do i have to read flash before i patch new stuff?
@Richard: It should work if the main firmware versions are the same. I don’t think that fs is for vodaphone. Use any FS you can find for south africa (phone type and fw version must be ok).
@John: are you clicking the right buttons? :O
FOUND: R4EA031_CXC1250316_GENERIC_HN
Restore from:R4EA031_CXC1250316_GENERIC_HN
this means that its rewriting the main right?
you don’t worry about that. its rest files.
i don’t think it writes entire main. 😉
Ok thnx
Realised from wat u said.. I have been flashing main file all along. Where can i find rest files? Cause i have been searching and i really cannot find.. Thnx in advance..
OMG.. im so stupid sorry for my previous posts. found rest files in ur download area.. Thnx
I am using SE W810i. Main firmware is R4EA031 Main red 50. I was trying to DEbrand it but no luck. I found R4EA031 Main Generic red 50 and found european FS, used custom pack and tried to flash my phone using X++ but after sending one block it gives an error. Can I change CID50 to CID49? Can I unlock CID50 using patch? What should I do. I really wanna debrand my phone. Please help.
CID downgrading is not possible, and AFAIK CID 50 is not supported by XS++ but I’ve read that JDFlasher supports it, but only original FW flash, so no unlock patch. I’m afraid you won’t be able to unlock it for free.
I don’t get it. I’ve downloaded and flashed with XS++ using these files
:K750_R1CA021_FS_EUROPE_4_RED49.fbn
K750_R1CA021_MAIN_EU_1_CL_RED49.mbn
Everything works fine but when I apply the SIMLockgen vpk file using SETools my phone stops working and I have to reflash main. Also, I can’t put the MAIN file onto qamaker, getting an error about unsupported header version.
Any clues whats wrong? Got CID49 RED.
The same happened when I tried to unlock a K750@W800. Yesterday I read stuff about old phones, and I think it might be REST file what we need, but I’m not sure at all. :S
Anders !!
Quick access is for db2020 not for k750
to reflash main and fs and cda
best use XS++ 3.1

Ok, but that won’t help me getting my phone unlocked?
to unlock you need to apply only unlock patch. with above tutorial
Hmm, really sorry to be bothering so much, but I really can’t get it to work. setools gives me these messages:

Yey, problem solved, the restoration file MUST be present in a folder called rest in the setools map. So I searched what it was called for my MAIN file and downloaded it into that map.
Thanks for the help and quick replies =)
So that’s it, rest files… -> tutorial is incorrect at the moment. 😀 (But Akshay will edit it it no time. 😉 )

so you wrote a wrong gdfs ?
you should write your own phone’s gdfs. if you write other phones gdfs then phone will die

you won’t get a gdfs for firmware or something

Can I debrand SE K850i with Setool using the same method as for W580i? I have Main and FS for this phone but no customization file.
No, you can’t, K850 is DB3150 model, there is no flashing on that architecture yet, only DB2020.

Hey.. I patched my w810 with Main Menu On the Button you press.vkp and uncommented the camera button. When i take picture it hangs. Whne i remove the patch the button doesn’t work and hangs the phone. Is there anyway to open mbn file so that i can look for the original value so i can patch it back? I dun want to raflesh main and repatch, very troublesome. Thnx in advance.
you removed the patch and prob not fixed yet ?
then sorry … only way is to reflash only main. 😉
Hi!
I can use this way to unlock an W300i, CID52, Firm R4GG001 ? Some says this W300i is DB2010 others says it’s DB 2012, what’s the right DB ?
Other: Can I find any DB2020 (CID52) firmware for this W300i ?
Thanks and sorry for my english…. I’m Brazilian.
gurx
no you can’t… CID52 db2012/2010 can’t be unlocked.
only db2010 CID49 and db2020 CID52 can be unlocked for free.
your phone may be db2012 or db2010 depending on date of release.
Hey guys, I connected my W300 to read the GDFS via SETool. However, after taking forever to load GDFS, the SETool program just displayed “failed, that is fatal”. Now it refuses to read the gdfs or even identify my phone. It just displays the following message everytime I connect my

Then try this repairing tutorial.
Sorry, but there doesn’t seem to be a link beneath “Then try this repairing tutorial.” Could you provide me with a link to the tutorial please? Is it the same one as writing the GDFS tutorial?
Oops, you’re right, I though this was the tutorial I meant…
http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/tutorials/red-light-blinking-dead-revive-it-to-life/
This way SeTool will try to fix it…
I get ‘errors ocur in the menu.ml file. this may render the menu unusable’ error message. although i can enter the menu after this. what can i do to fix this error?
Thanks.
Just another wonderful comment on unlocking db2010 phones… great -.-
It says that because you have modded menu.ml file and you are not good at it, screwed it up, doesn’t meet xml language requirements, some tags are not closed or so. Or you somewhy uploaded a menu.ml that was not tested before releasing.
Use the original menu.ml file by extracting such an fs or by reflashing full fs.
Hi thanks, I know I am rubbish at it I’ll be the first to admit that, this isn’t my speciality it is just something I attempted to do on the side, but I do enjoy challenges. Thanks for your help.
1. when modding xml-based files, like menu.ml and layout.xml, use text editors with syntax-highlighting, like NotePad++.
2. when having such questions, use forum.
Thanks.
Just to say I reflashed the full fs and it is now back to normal! 😀 🙂 Thank for your help and patience, and the quick feedback!
i could understand the key sequence can u pls provide me detailed illustration .i could not understand right key on D pad or joystick,i hope u got it
> is the key with which you move the selection to the right in the menu and so…
i have deleted inbuilt files of w810i using FAR managar+SEFP,but i could not restore firmware with FAR+SEFP i was getting script execution error.so i updated the firmware with SEUS,now the problem is my phone is getting started with is giving me dynamic menu error pls help
Reflash FS with XS++.
Hi,
Thanks for a great tutorial. It took a while to search and find the correct information to unlock the w810i but it now is Rebranded back to the generic Sony look from the Orange Network theme. The phone which was locked to Orange now has a Vodafone SIM card in it.
Bits where I went wrong were all due to me not reading and exactly following this tutorial and the XS++ tutorial.
The other part where I went wrong was installing the USB Flash driver in Windows Vista. My advice is to follow exact instructions for battery removal, hold “C”, connect standard DCU-60 USB cable costing £3.46 from Amazon.co.uk (Grey Moblies as supplier, no need to buy a $12.99 cruizer cable from the US) select that specific USB Flash driver.
I also ended up flashing the FS firmware as well and forgot to use a customisation file. As the tutorial says it comes up with a Configuration error. The was as usual fixed by following the guide and not missing anything out.
Anyway, thanks. It turns out that after checking wikipedia, TPB, thinking about Davinci and Total Multiserver neither of these commercial products were needed.
After taking the time to do this tutorial I do miss the simplicity of the Nokia code unlock system on my 6230i but as this Sony process for unlocking is more complex there is a whole lot more nonsense on forums with people posting their EMEI number along side exclamation marks and ‘thanks for help in advance’ requests.
Anyhow, thanks to the developers and writers who have taken their time to share.
T.
hey akshay could you please give me another site to download the simox unlock patch generator!!!
I changed the link, try again now.

Do you have the REST files all right?
rest files ? where do i get those and what should i do with them ?
They should be somewhere in setool’s directory, and they fix the damage that hacking the phone makes.
Anyway I’ll write a JDFlasher tutorial for this one.
ok send me a link when u make it
It will appear on this site, just keep waiting. 😀
I m not able to use .vkp patches. there is the log……….help me about this……

@peti
http://www.akshayy.com/sonyericsson/others/using-jdflasher-with-db2010-phones/
JDFlasher also has a DB2012 bootscript.
thanks for the guide, i flashed a k750i to w800 :)) but the phone is locked to tesco and i’ve used simlockpatchgen to create vkp files from both the k750i and w800 firmwares and neither have worked…
could it be a tesco network issue?
any advice is much appreciated
I never knew TESCO phones existed. XD You must use the W800 main firmware you flashed on to create the unlock patch. Then flash it on with the newest tutorial here, on using JDFlasher to patch DB2010 phones.
THIS METHOD HAS BRICKED MY PHONE
During step 7 of the GFDS back-up something went wrong. It said something about not being able to read a file in the se-tool folder and then it just stopped doing anything. I pressed stop and then there was a message saying something like “that is fatal”. Now I can’t even switch the phone on.
That doesn’t necessarily mean the phone is gone. It may be EROM failure. Like try repairing it with SeTool 2 Lite.
I click on unlock/repair, then connect the phone and get this:

Any ideas?
So you reinsert the battery and nothing happens when you try to start it?
Now I would try reflashing main and fs.
Thank you peti! I reflashed the firmware and it works fine now.
I was getting scared that it was impossible to bring it back… :$
I even managed to unlock the phone, this method is too easy, and not many people seem to know about it! 🙂
The other method, JDFlasher is even better. 😉
Hi can I use an ordinary SE DCU-60 cable.
Yes, we only use that.
Hi Peti, Thanks for the reply, but I’ve got something fishy going on. I’m getting a “can’t open port message “and setool can’t see my phone, it’s a w800i. But let’s have another look first. By the way the USB cable only has four pins, with two Data pins, is it possible that my computer has these switched just like the old RS232 pins 2 &3 could me?
You don’t have USB flash drivers installed… 😛
HI thanks for the tip, I’ve loaded the drivers? What happens now is that after rebooting the phone and holding down the C key the only thing that happens is that the PC asks if I want to open any of the Apps. But anyhow I’m new at this game and I thing is a lot of good fun so my next question is problem bigger than I think. Can I get hold of a memory listing and what are these CID codes example 49 51 etc, and can I read up on what they do.
Just a blind man trying to look around.
Memory listing?:O
CID is basically the protection system used on your phone, it determines the loaders used to break into it
Current CIDs in use by SE are 29/36/37/49/50/51/52/53
The most common CIDs are 36, 49, 51/52, 53
CID53 is one of the most newest CID which is under research and development and only can be moded by using JDflasher but can’t b patched. Nowadays all the new Phone’s are coming under CID53
Hi again Peti,
This is what Im getting when runing SEtool2.
Were do I go from here.
Thanks for your help

Do you have GDFS backup? If not, try backing up with XS++. And try patching with JDFlasher. But this is strange, OTP CID is 36, so not patchable, but it says EROM CID is 49… forcing 49… see XS++ log too.
Hi Peti,
No problem backing up the GDFS wit XS++, but I need you to walk me through the patching with JD, were do I get a 2010 script for JD.
all for now and thanks for your time and help

As far as I know, JDFlasher (and all other tools) don’t support patching of CID 36. But try, there is a DB2010 patching tutorial somewhere on the site. 😀
Hi,
I found that Tutorial but now after restating my phone and after I have entered my Pin code I get up a box that said “Configuration error. Please contact your network operator”
Upload a custpack (AKA CDA).
Well what can I say, thanks for all your help? The phone is now useable again, so I can say that I’ve been there and done that, all that’s left is for me to go back and understand what we’ve done. Thanks a bundle.

Hi,
I was able to flash my W810i main/fs using the XS++ to W810_R4EK001. However I’m unable to unlock it using vkp patch.
the qamaker doesn’t take db2010 firmwares. When i use simox vkp patch, my phone becomes dead and i can’t boot it, until i reflash it.
I really want to thank you guys for ur efforts.
Hi Peti, As you said as far as you know there is no way of patching cid 36, now my se w800i uses cid 36, I would like to unbrand/Unlock it, but because no software tools support patching of cid 36 I’m f! can’t use that word can we but lets say I can’t unbrand/Unlock my phone. Would that be true? PS the DB2010 patching tutorial was a no go.
@achoi02: check out the DB2010 tutorial of mine.
&Keith: CID 36 is not patchable. Debranding is possible. It means removing operator’s stuff, in case you don’t know.
Hey Peti,
Thanks for reply, are you talking about the JDflasher tutorial?
Yes, sure.
“confidentiality + Extended File Manager” patch makes my phine go blank and then the screen keeps flashing on and off in white colour.
So i tried patching the 2 things separately.
Extended File manager Patch works fine but when i try patching “confidentiality v3.0” patch setool says:
“SOME VALUES DIFFER. DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE?”
I selected no.
Is there any solution?? I need confidentiality patch v3.0 coz in prev versions IFS can’t b locked.
Plzzz guide….!
sorry… forgot to mention above..
I have W810i
Firmware: R4EA031
na forget it. sorry
those confidentiality patches are really unstable.
k…sad for me…
thanx for answering though… 🙂
yeah sure. don’t worry. good luck. there is much more to life than only this. lol.
It doesn’t work with my K750i (r1ca021 CID49 red) help me please, I have the right vkp file.
I have W810i
Firmware: R4EA031
Same phone here, I would like to debrand it first, but everytime I attempt to hold the C button and plug it in my computer via USB, all I see is autoplay and nothing pops up on the toolbar, I know I am the problem..lol. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Hi Peti…My w810 is R4DB005 CID49. I can use patch .vkp of other w810 same firmware for unlock?

Thank You >^.^<
this works perfectly. wonderful job. saved me $27
I am in deep trouble!!!
Was attempting to unlock the Mrs W300i and got it a bit wrong. Had to restore the BFSD and reapply all the main firmware etc and just realized I did not backup the photos and videos that were stored in the phones memory rather than on memory card.
Now there is nothing in the phone, no pictures or videos at all. These were mainly of our son and there is no copy anywhere.
Am I completely screwed or is there some remote hope for me?!?
Please, please help me!!!
Cheers
Jon

Hello all, following your “Tutorial to Patch db2010 phones” using Setool 2.
I ran into a wall of the bat. Can’t back up the GDFS. Is the phone a RED 49 or RED 36?
In any case, it beats me how to unlock this phone? Have you got any help for me, Thanks?
Ive made a sim lock patch using SIMLockPatchGen but cant run the patch in SeTool or XS++ and JD just doesent want to know.

reflash the fs and main using jdflahsher
Hello,
I have a Sony Ericsson W810i.
Is that the same as W810?
I think it is, but I would better ask you about it, because I am not so sure about if it really is exactly the same.
The problem with my phone is, that it requires a Phone Lock Code.
And I do not know the Phone Lock Code.
So, I cannot enter into the phone.
Therefore, I would like to do a Master Reset (or Hard Reset) to my phone.
Is it possible just to push some buttons at the same time and make that happen?
Or do I really have to Flash my phone?
@khushi
lol, not its still w810 but with a lock! 😛
anyways look here
http://www.se-lifestyle.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1336&p=65812&hilit=phone+lock+code#p65812
if ur phone is cid53 then come back! 🙂
I am glad that it is possible to find out what the phone lock code is.
I have checked the Service Menu on my phone.
In there I can see: Software info
A lot of things are written in there.
For instance, I saw DB2010.
So, my phone is a DB2010.
But I cannot see if it is a CID53.
Anyway, I have downloaded XS++ v3.1 (Darwin) Ready !
And I have tried to connect my phone while holding the C button.
But the message which I can see in the frame of XS++ is:
—————————————————————–
Error: Cannot open phone communication port
Disconnected… Unplug the phone
—————————————————————–
I do not know what is going on.
Can you please help me through this.
Thanks a lot.
By the way what does “lol” mean?
haha, u haven’t installe flash drivers!
Well, I have downloaded the USB Flash Driver (in WinRAR).
Then I have unpacked it, and saved.
I can see it in Folder F.
It’s a system file, and it’s called ggsemc, and the size is 9 kb.
Have I maybe downloaded the wrong version?
Please understand that I am not a wizkid with computers.
Therefore, can somebody please guide me through this.
Because I don’t really get it, actually.
And I do beleave that the solution is not very far anymore.
So u r there at forum?
Mobiliteit?
Do one thing dwnld frm filebase a new setupfile n then install it or just install SEUS but dont use it for updating ur phone!
Hi ppg,
Yes, I am mobiliteit.
Bhuvan gave me the link to where it is explained how I can read out what that phone lock code is. And there I have to login as well, you see.
But let me explain something.
I have installed Sony Ericsson PC Suite (which was delivered on a CD with the phone).
And I can connect another W810i mobile phone (which does not have a phone lock) with the PC Suite on the computer. So, therefore I think that I should also be able to connect the phone (which does have a phone lock) to XS++. So, according to what I understand from this, is that the flash drivers must be installed already, otherwise I could not be able to connect my phone to PC Suite. Does that make any sense to you?
Should I just install the flash drivers again?
Can you give me a link, from where I should download them?
And do I have to delete the flash drivers which I already have?
I don’t want to update my phone.
I just want to read out that phone lock code.
But I don’t really understand what you are telling me.
You want me to download from filebase a new setupfile and then install it.
But where is filebase?
And you are giving me antother option as well.
You are telling me to just install SEUS (and not use it for updating my phone).
Do you mean that I can read out the phone lock code with SEUS as well (instead of using XS++)?
I hope that you can help me.
Bye
Thanks to the help of bhuvan and ppg I was able to find the phone lock code.
Many many thanks.
This is a whole new world for me, and I like it.
I hope to learn much more from you guys in the future.
Anyhow, I found the file which ppg had mentioned.
But I found it somewhere else.
I went to all tutorials from SE Flashing.
And suddenly I saw in the list mentioned: Installing USB Flash Drivers.
I did choose for option no. 3 (Recommended for New users).
And this appeared to be the file which you mentioned before.
And when it was installed, I tried to connect my phone to XS++ again, and it worked.
I pressed first GDFS (on the bottom line), and after that I pressed phone lock (on the top side).
And there it was: 7519. What a stupid code.
Then I disconnected the phone, and then first of all I changed the phone lock into 0000.
There you see that these kind of things work for people like me as well, as long as it goes automatically.
I have so much more to learn.
This is very exiting, Wow.
I think that I would like to join you people, and learn all the things that are possible.
Thank you very much.
Khushi
Error: Cannot open phone communication port
