Donīt know if this is the right forum or not so feel free to move topic.
I found a cell in the subway in Stockholm a while back, so I returned the phone to the police and after about three months they called me, saying that I could come down to the station and pick it up since the original owner did not.
So when iI start the phon it says "Insert USIM" so it has obviusly been locked, is there any way to overide this problem to get it to work as normal?
Ohh and btw it is a k800 SE of course and I have some experience flashing the entire system if it is necessary.

to me that sounds like a 3 phone (3 uk phones display that message when you insert a non 3 sim) and you need to unlock it

Have you tried inserting a SIM?

Yes it is a phone from 3 and yes I have tried to use my own SIM and it does not work

It will need a 3 SIM to work unless you pay to get it unlocked. Even if you get it unlocked it will qite likely be blocked as the previous owner has probably reported it as being lost.

Is it possible to unlock it on your own and not pay "davinciteam"?

if u use setool2lite make sure you select bypass db2020 security (next to the phone model list) otherwise the patch wont work

Ok, it saying "Insert USIM" does not means its locked, hasn't got anything to do with it.
If it's locked and your using a different network sim in it, it'll just say something like "Insert Correct USIM".
Just saying "Insert USIM" means either the sim card, or the sim card reader on the phone, is faulty. Have it repaired under warranty and it'll be fine.

read all the posts and you will see why I want to do this at home
Posted by Daedalus85
Yeah, and my point still stands.
Let me explain clearer.
It is broken.
It needs to be fixed.
Posted by Challe
no, it is not broken, I have not mentioned this but is i donīt have a sim in and i start it it says "insert sim" when i do insert my own sim it says "insert correct sim" so the sim reader is not broke
Posted by Daedalus85
Right, well I didn't see the bit where you said "Insert Correct USIM".
So yes, it's locked, get it unlocked, simple.
Posted by Challe
how do i unlock it?
Posted by Daedalus85
It's a bit of a grey area, as the vast majority of phone shops won't unlock them.
Find out where your local independant phone dealer is, or the local person who sells accessories etc for phones.
Posted by Challe
can i not do it on my own?
Posted by Daedalus85
Apparently, but you've tried and it didn't work, so no is the short answer.

u can unlock it for free ( with patch file solution, with setool3 box ), it means temporary unlock. ask around, sy has to got that box around u. setool also offer direct unlock, costs 10 credits, about 20-30 euro.

you dont need the setool box version as setool2lite can patch db2020 phones for free
