Step 5: UNLOCK DB2020 K550, K610, K618, K770, K790, K800, K810

this post shows you step-by-step how to unlock for FREE any DB2020 sony ericsson (this EXAMPLE is for K800i)

- for the other models (K550, K610, K618, K770, K790, K810) you must use firmware for the respective model .

example: for K550 you must use a k550 firmware (k550.mbn +k550.fbn+k550CDA.zip )
K550_R6BD001_MAIN_GENERIC_LM_RED52.mbn - this is Main firmware (.mbn)
K550_R6BD001_FS_I_MODE_2_RED52.fbn - this is File System (.fbn)
k550I_HB1-06_Gen_CDA102568_4_R8A_GENERIC_MEDITERR.zip - This is CDA (.zip) also known as customization

this can be done only FOR CID52 - IF u have cid 49 or 51 just upgrade it via XS ++ or setool2 lite 1.11 .
Do NOT SEUS cos upgrades it to cid 53 and that's bad !!
