http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=20668 explains it all

you just need to get setool2lite 1.11 and w850 firmware.

DO NOT flash the FS unless you want to loose all of your files (pics/videos/music etc)

There is also another way...

You can use the jdflasher to apply the quick access patch...

Anyway the procedure includes:

flashing MAIN and FS (the best way and you won't have any issues)... and THEN applying the unlock patch, since applying the patch before flashing the MAIN won't unlock the phone ...

you can just flash the unlock patch with the main if all the OP wants is to unlock the phone. i have done it on several phones including k610's and k800's without any issues.

you can get firmware from iprotebe.cz after registration

@ GG theres nothing on the phone to lose bro so it wont make much difference.

Well you have to find compatible MAIN and FS... So If the MAIN is R1KG001, the FS have to be also R1KG001 in order to work...

The best variant in my opinion are:

MAIN R1KG001 GENERIC RED52
FS R1KG001 MEDITERR RED52

or

MAIN R1KG001 GENERIC RED52
FS S_E_EUROPE RED52

at least I have tried these ones on W850 and it worked like a charm .
