Listen if i can do it I'm sure you can mine was the first time i ever did anything like this and following the Video even i managed to do it. As i said since then i did Marc-SE's for him it really just needs some patience and the right tools IMO after that it's really quite easy. The funny thing is when i had the silver bezel it got knocked and marked a couple of times which is why i wanted to change it as hate damage on my device. Yet since i changed it it hasn't got knocked once weird or just sods law i suppose.
Oh and for a how to guide go to cnn where you will buy the bezel from and they have two videos for taking it apart and putting it back together that's what i used to guide me.

Hi Marc,
I will check out cnn and watch their videos too!
I saw over at a BB forum a glossy sky blue back and bezel but can't find the link now !
Marc, is this the bezel here that you bought?
Did you buy all of the tools from there?
Hi Nanu, can you unlock a Bold for me? I guess Vodafone might be me the code...

Hi Nanu,
how will you do that?
I transfer cash to your bank and you send me a code?
or, You send me a code because I am a nice guy for free?
Seriously, if Vodafone will not unlock for free, then I would be happy to pay for the service.
On a different note, phoned Vodafone just now and they will credit my account with some cash as a goodwill gesture for the problems caused.

Hi ofiaich,
Yes that's the place but from memory i think the how to Videos are with the Silver bezel and yes i bought a T5 and the triangle opening tool. Have to say even though the T5 was cheap it is surprisingly good quality. I think using MFI tool you will need the Bold plugged in to the computer.

Hi Ofiaich,
If you don't feel confident enough to carry out the task yourself I would glady do it for you but it has to attached to the computer it isn't a code based unlock!

@Marc!
I will give a think about changing the housing! I will get it up and running with the languages that I need, and music playing ! Then customise !
@Nanu!
if the steps are easy, then I would have a go! I am unlikely to brick it, aren't I?

As Reg say's it is very difficult to brick!
And Reg no, it is a sim free unit I think so no need!
May give the bold a go in a while, and I'll dig my pearl out and see if that is locked, if it is I'll give it a whirl!

Actually that's not bricked but as an Enterprise handset needs activation to be used and that is the problem you don't have the details to activate it and security on BB's is very good.
I have now flashed my Bold more times then i can remember and must say it really is very robust and easy to do. Plus it's amazing just how much a battery pull can also fix.
