Hello mates,
I've recently bought a Satio on Ebay for 195£, as new (nice bargain wasn't it?) but it is locked to Vodafone. I wonder if is there already a method to unlock and debrand it for free.
Your help will be much appreciated!

Hey,I am trying to debrand an Orange Branded Satio but not seeing the 370byte file. Only seeing one that is 388 and the other 274.
Should I use the 388 byte to rename per the instructions on the http://forums.se-nse.net/topi[....]ony-ericsson-satio-debranding/ Forum?
Cheers

If you read the instructions properly you would notice that I put a 25 byte tolerance. Which means the file can be as big as 395 bytes and as small as 345 bytes.

Thanks much
. Have not seen the 25 byte caveat. 388 it is then.[ This Message was edited by: skblakee on 2010-04-27 11:48 ]

Nice and easy unlocking. Long (three updates with SEUS) but worth it because it is free and very simple.

I used this for mine to de-brand it, works a treat and cost nothing

Nice information... But i think free unlock codes doesn't works properly.. I got my mobile unlock codes from here http://www.mobileunlockguide.com/ @ lowest costs... Why you don't try with this site..? Also in here you can get all GSm mobile codes...

raji:

Lolly:

Hi,
I need a little bit of help with this.
4. Open the archive. Select the file which corresponds to the region you want to unbrand to.
File selcted is European...Do I just highlight this, so it's Blue in colour?
5. Go to: C:\\Program Files\\Sony Ericsson\\Update Service\\db\\13740270\\blob_fs and sort files in ascending order. Search for a file which is about 370bytes in size. I have found one which is around the 370 bytes mark. Do I copy this?
6. Copy it's file name and rename the file which you chose in step 4. Copy the renamed file to blob_fs folder. Copy what file? And rename it where? This is the bit I'm really stuck on...Tell me in laymans terms please if you can.
Thanks,
Holophyte
