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!

See my photos taken with the C902, Satio or E72 in here!

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?

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.

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

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...
