if you do not want to convert it to a
w660 because of the bugs then u need cid52 firmware, i used R1KG001 with an unlock patch when i did mine and no probs
hi everyone,
this is my first time trying to unlock a phone, so please be gentle with me.
i have a
K610i which is locked to 3 network (in UK).
i downloaded SEtool2 (Lite Edition) v1.11 and clicked identify button and followed instructions
Here is the output of the Identify function
CODE

I know i need to download the firmware from somewhere to unlock the phone but was unable to find the R1CD001 version on this site.
Where can I find a step-by-step guide to unlocking using SEtool?
Where can I find the exact firmware version? If not, can I use a different firmware and still be able to use the phone?
I am not keen to de-brand the phone, but just want to unlock it so I can use a different (non-3) simcard with it.
Thanks for your patience
