Step 1

You can now use this instead:
Easy way to find out what firmware you are using

Find out what firmware you are using at the moment.

You do this by going to the Se Users main page and selecting Download, here you will find a map called software. Download the program XS++ to your computer. Start the program, shutdown your phone and take your Sim and memory card out. Press connect in XS++ and while you connect your phone to the USB cable you press and hold down "c" on your phone.

The phone should now detect your phone and start listing important information about it. (you may need the USB drivers for your mobile, find them at Sonys home page).

It should look something like this.

Hold 'C' button on phone and connect phone NOW.

17:24:57| EROM CID: 36 <----- You must have a CID 36 mobile for this guide!
17:24:57| EROM Color: Red
17:24:57| IMEI: 35682900xxxxxx
17:24:57| Phone ID: W800
17:24:57| Region: EUROPE_4
17:24:57| CDA: CDA102430/12 R2A
17:24:57| Firmware Version: R1BC002
17:24:57| EROM: n/a
17:24:57| Ready for operation!

Step 2

Download the right MAIN firmware for your phone.

As you can see in the information about my phone I have a CID 36 mobile and firmware version R1BC002. In my case i must download the MAIN firmware for R1BC002.

Go to Se Users page again but this time go to firmware instead of software, select your phone and after that your firmware version. In my case I download W800_R1BC002_MAIN_EU_1_CA_RED36 because this is the MAIN version for my phone and firmware. (EU_1_CA stands for Europe).

Step 3

Create the vkp file to unlock your phone.
This is done with the SIMLockPatchGenerator you downloaded earlier. Open the program and select your MAIN firmware by pressing the ... button on the right, select the firmware by selecting it an pressing open. Now press create patch, this will create a vkp patch with the unlock key inside, it will be stored in a folder next to the SIMLockPatchGenerator.exe called vkp.

Mine was named Remove_SIM_lock_W800_R1BC002.vkp

Step 4

Copying the vkp patch to your phone.

Open Farmanager (Far.exe), this part may look difficult but its not. Simply press F11 and select SEFP, after that DCU-60, 921600 and your mobile type should be selected. After that press Enter The Matrix.

You will now have to do as you did in XS++, connect your USB cable when holding down the "c" button on your phone. When the program connects to your phone relese "c". (You may need to take the battery out for a second or two for this to work).

When you have connected your phone press flash on the left, the program types some commands for a while. Now we just have to find the vkp file that we created earlier, use the right side of Farmaneger to lokate your vkp file in the vkp folder. (The ... button makes you go backwords in your folders). When you have located the vkp file right click on it, and press F5. This copys the vkp file to the phone, just press continue or ok on the popups.

And now you have successfully unlocked your phone!
