Unlock code for sony ericsson K800i - **NO Email addresses**

Looks good. Thanks!

I'm off to get some sleep now and will try that tomorrow.

Will it work for CID 53 as well or does the CID 53 need a completely different approach?

 

I guess the K800_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52.mbn firmware filename means it will ONLY work with EPROM CID 52 (as you suggest at the beginning of your wonderfully detailed explanation) and not the EPROM CID 53 which is what I have. So I'm a little stumped again. Also I tried to access SIMLockPatchGen 2 at http://simox.5gbfree.com but the site appears to be down!

Doh!

So I'm stuck. Again.

Any more guidance on unlocking a K800i with EPROM CID 53?

 

I hate having to use guesswork with so much of this! Especially when, if do it wrong, I could apparently kill the K800i (Something I may have already done...)

Story so far: I've located the files:

K800_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED53.mbn
K800_R8BF003_FS_EUROPE_5_RED53.fbn

..which is believe are the correct firmware files for a K800i on EPROM CID 53.

I've tried both XS++ and FSFlasher to load these into the phone but now only get the message:

"Configuration error. Please contact your network operator or service centre"

...once I get past the 'Normal/Fight mode" menu.

Does this error indicate I've just used the wrong files (in which case, which files SHOULD I be using for this CID 53 phone), or is the problem something else?

..and have I now killed the phone completely (expensive guesswork, this...) or can I somehow reset it again?

I'm sure this isn't supposed to be this complicated!

chavo1978's instructions appear to be very helpful, but only to those using CID 52 and only as and when the website http://simox.5gbfree.com is up and running again.

 

Sorry about the dead link, try this http://www.4shared.com/network/search.jsp?searchmode=2&searchName=simlockpatchgen

These sites are often up and down!!

As for Cid 53, i dont think there is a solid confirmed method, i believe some people are having sucsess other are bricking. Will let you know.

 

Hey guys,can som1 help me please?I have a Sony Ericsson k800i and I forgot my security code,does anyone know how to unlock it?There a sort of password tht unlocks the phone,or' that restores it to the factory settings?......heeelp...please

 

I'm a beginner myself, but think I can answer this one for you.

1. Download and Run XS++
2. Click 'connect' button then plug in your phone holding down 'c' until XS++ recognises it and says "Ready for operation"
3. Click on GDFS radio button at the bottom-left
4. Click the button marked "Phone Lock" (top-right)

With any luck, your code will revert to 0000 now.

Please let me know if this works for you; as a newbie I want to make sure any advice I give is actually RIGHT!

Good luck.

 

hey bubbles,thanks for the advice,i've installed XS++ v2.0 but when i connect my phone,after some time an error appears>failed open..and after that my phone turns on and switches to file transfer mode...what should i try...and...the SIM must be inserted?...

 

It sounds as if the phone is not being recognised by the program. As it switches to file transfer mode, it appears the physical connection to the phone is OK.

Try this:

Switch off the phone and remove the battery then re-insert re battery a few seconds later (this is important and I forgot to tell you last time! Sorry.) THEN follow my earlier instructions.

Hopefully this time when you press and hold 'c' the computer WILL connect to it.

Keep me informed!

 

bubbles,first of all I've downloaded another version of XS++,more precisely>3.2....i've also removed the battery for about 20 seconds,then...> connect>pressed C>connected the phone> Error: Cannot open phone communication port
20:11:25| Disconnected... Unplug the phone

what could be the reason?...maybe this version doesn't support my phone....but v4.1 beta works only for Linux...
xo....what next?

 

Hmm. Have you got flash drivers installed, I wonder? These are needed for the computer to flash the phone.

I think if you install the software that came with the phone (or you can download this from Sony Ericcsson) it automatically installs the necessary flash drivers. (I know that I've never needed to install them manually and have managed to flash our phone so this does appear to be right.)

Also I'm running XS++ 3.1 on Windoze (only cos there's no Mac version available - Doh!) so your version 3.2 should certainly be 'man enough' for the job.

Key point: When I connect the phone to Windows (remember to remove and replace the battery each time you try - the phones are silly like that) Windoze almost always goes 'pling' and then XS++ recognises it. If Windoze fails to go 'pling' then XS++ fails too.

So listen for the 'pling'!

Good luck!

(Any other ideas from other users would be welcome ... I'm only a newbie myself!)

 

wemade it!!!!...it works......thanks man!!!....i did'n had the flash drivers installed......u'r not a newbie..not at all...

THANKS again!!!...you're the only one that really wanted to help me...it was hard work me...this is the first time i've had this sort of problem,and I really wanted to do it myself!!!....with your priceless help I made it.......

Partyyy!!! \m/...Sony Ericsson lifestyle!!

 

Aw shucks! Thanks!

I'm glad it worked for you. I know what it's like struggling 'in the dark' with something like this. I've spent many frustrating hours (who am I kidding ... days, weeks even!) trying to figure out how to do what seems like pretty simple stuff and nothing seems to work.

Now I need to get back to trying to work out how to unlock the K800i (EPROM 53) from it's current network! This has been ongoing for weeks now and I'm making small steps forward every day. It just seems to be such a slow process!

People on this and other forums have been great; it's just when you're give a list of '10 simple steps' ... and step 2 doesn't seems to work as planned ... that it's gets frustrating!

Onwards & upwards!

 

Yeah....struggling in the dark is the perfect term for what I've been doing for 2 whoooole days....an useless dark i could say)
I'm back to the light side!)

I wish you good luck in unlocking that phone,and I'm really sorry that I can't help like you did...

Lots of thanks again....and good luck!
