    its not possible to unlock a SE phone using the DCU-60 cable.
    you need a different type of cable.

    If any body decides to debrand their phone may i suggest a visit to expansys.com as they have and extensive forum of debranding on various phones and there is a lot of instructions including some with screenshots.

    You can patch unlock using the DCU-60 phone.
  • I have a query.........

    When it comes to selecting Firmware Region, is this should be ''where you want use the mobile''

    For example, can these debranded/unlocked phones be used abroad to pickup local Radiochannels?

    I wonder whether we can re-customise them to select different region whenever we need?
