Next week i'll be getting a new phone for free, but right now it's locked to an operator different than mine. I know you can unlock it to accept my operators SIM-card, but not sure how to do it.

So i just wanna know if anyone here could tell me if i can do it myelf, what software i need or any guide out there that shows exactly how to do it.

Oh, and its a SE k810i.

It's quite easy. You just apply a small patch with XS++, SeTool2Lite or similiar software. Tho afair it requires You to reflash phone aswel. You will find plenty of guides on that, look for k810 simlock patch.

example:

Code:
; K810 SW-R8BA024
; SP-Lock
; Remove SP-Lock
; (c) IronMaster
; (p) jasiek
+44140000

Needed firmware:

First u identify CID(was it CID?), 52 or 53 with XS++, then u put the patch and one of the firmwares, which depends on your region:

K810_R8BA024_MAIN_CHINA_SM_RED52
K810_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_SM_RED52
K810_R8BA024_MAIN_HONG_KONG_SM_RED52
K810_R8BA024_MAIN_HUTCHISON_HK_SM_RED52
K810_R8BA024_MAIN_HUTCHISON_SM_RED52
K810_R8BA024_MAIN_ORANGE_SM_RED52
K810_R8BA024_MAIN_TAIWAN_SM_RED52
K810_R8BA024_MAIN_TMOBILE_SM_RED52

Read/figure the rest out by yourself Razz

there is a place where you can download the factory firmware (unlocked) along with the flashing utility. they charge like 7 euros ... I did it to my sony w810i Smile

I will post the link when I think of what it is. they charge like $30 to unlock a phone in the mall here, so that was a cheap option.

^^ Mussolinka's way is cheaper, but there at least is some degree of reassurance that you won't fuck shit up Razz
