Hi, I've been trying to remove the sim-lock on my W850 for two days now. Basically, I've reflashed the main firmware with the W850 R1KG001 MAIN GENERIC CY RED52 and applied the patch made in qamaker. I used SETOOL 2 v1.11. Once this patch was applied after bypassing DB2020 security, I created a patch using SIM Lock Patch Generator flashed it using the WRITE SCRIPT button. The problem is I keep getting the "Configuration error. Please contact your network operator or service centre" error message when using a sim different to the network the phone is locked on. I've reflashed and tried the process again but nothing. Its a RED CID 52. Any ideas what the problem is.
