[gesundheit]

q: i tried to unlock lg kf75x/kt52x with IMEI "01xxx..." and got weird error,
phone goes dead. what to do ?

a:
you need setool2 version >=v0.915020 for that.

just unlock phone again - it will be fixed and properly handled.
but - you must manually enter generated unlock code.
unlock code can be entered by typing 2945#*750#
in some cases, it will not work until you flash generic (open) firmware from support area.
