Q: How to PERMANENT unlock from network DB2020/DB2012/DB2001/PNX5230 phone ?

A:
first, download latest version, special server support started from v0.913902.
select USB as interface. that is REQUIRED.
select phone model
settings - check "use server for csca unlock/flash", "do full unlock instead of usercode reset", fill your login details.

back to semc tab, press unlock, attach phone with pressed "C" buttons.

if you have enough credits - you will receive next message
"SIGNATURE QUEUED FOR CALCULATION, CHECK BACK LATER"

(that means signature is added to calculation queue. calculation can take up to 3 days.
if after 3 days (72 hours) signature will NOT be calculated - credits will be automatically returned
when you press "info" or add another phone to queue.)

(if you receive next message "QUEUE FULL, CHECK BACK LATER",
that means all slots for calculations filled up and you need try again later)

now - leave that phone aside for some time and check back periodically
(NOT each 5 min , but each 60 min )

if signature is calculated - you will receive 'SUCCESS' response, otherwise you will receive
"%YOUR_IMEI% ALREADY IN QUEUE" - that means signature is in calculation queue.

if calculation is success, then signature will be saved in backup\%imei% folder in your setool2 directory.

next, backup will be created so you will be able to restore phone if something will go wrong
(hardly believe, but who knows...)

next, you will be prompted to detach phone and turn it on.
do so.
detach phone.
turn it on FULLY
phone will be on 5 locks, that is normal.
connect phone to usb.
if phone will ask you switch to phone mode - switch to phone mode.
it can ask you for drivers,if you not installed them previously.
install all needed phone drivers (phones.rar on support area)
be SURE that you install all drivers correctly.
press "testpoint ok"

note: in latest setool2 version phone will be searched constantly on all
available comports until it will be found. So, you not need to press "TESTPOINT OK"

procedure will continue,phone will be switched off and unlocked.

remember, if something will go wrong - you have a backup of security units.

cost of DB2020 unlock is 10 credits. it divided into 2 steps:
signature calculation 6 credits (charged once), phone unlock - 4 credits
(charged once, if by accident, server is recharging while you executing unlock, credits NOT charged)

as usual, credits will NOT be recovered in case of connection failures. (error 10054,10060).
that is NOT terms for discussion.

NOTE! there is STILL REMAIN USERCODE RESET FOR DB2020/DB2012/PNX5230.

it will work, if you UNCHECK option "do full unlock instead of usercode reset" and press UNLOCK.

note: i STRONGLY recommend you to instal PHONE drivers BEFORE starting unlock procedure.
