Hello..This is my first time posting here. I usually just lurk around the boards to find an answer  I love Esato.. 90% of my k800i modding info has come from esato.. So i hope esato dudes here can help me 
Ok enough butt kissing.. Here is my phone problem.. A few months ago my K800i... I dont know..bricked perhaps.. The led was blinking..the phone wont turn on and any erom update or even complete phone flash wont do.. So I sent it to a shop and about a month ago i got it back in normal condition again yay! But.. when i went to the secret menu > service info > software info.. this is what i see:
R8BA024
prgCXC1250210_GENERIC_WI R8BA024
EROM: R3A099
prgCXC1250461_EROM_DB2020_WILMA_FOTA_SIMLOCK_FLAFLA_SIBLEY_SEMCUSB
Okay.This is my question,or problem .. What the heck is an R3A099 EROM? Ive never heard it before and it really worries me. And the db2020 wilma fota blabla..I also dont know what that is. I dont think this is from the CID53 because in XS++ and setool said my CID is 52.. Although it says that my OTP CID is locked..or 1. Not that I know what that means either ..
Now Ive tried googling the EROM and all i found was some chinese text or something. Is there a reason for this? Also.. I tried to change the erom by using the newest one R3BO25 FOTA. But the EROM still does not change other than appearing at the most bottom screen in the secret menu.
Regarding the simlock.. I also applied the simlock vkp patch.. Apparently that was useless since it still shows up in the menu. How can i change/remove this?
Just to clarify my phone is fully unlocked because i can use other networks. I would just like some info about my phone because I cant find any answer and it is freaking me out. Since I was a heavy modder before my phone broke down, I would like to know any problems that might arise before I mod my phone again.
Thx for reading my essay xD
Any feedback is very much appreciated. |

Why are u worrying? Everything is completely normal. The erom has been updated and you only see the change at the bottom of the software info. The FOTA means For Over The Air and thats the software update part of the erom used when updating via the phone (Altho most network operators disable this function.)
Again, dont worry. Ur phone is in good working order now.  |

Thanks for the reply. I also dont know why im worrying too much.. I think its maybe because of the erom since Ive never heard of such erom. Is there any way to change it? I mean not the FOTA one but the R3A099 one. Also, what does the Simlock thingy means? How can I change that one? |

There is no need to change anything. The sim lock patch obviously works cos u can use any network. |
