basics:

 - a2 phones can only be served in signed mode.
- same firmware can be flashed on allowed CID range, you can see CID range in fw name
- firmware for specific phone domain (color) can only be applied to phone with same domain

2. add to firmware area correct MAIN, FS IMAGE parts of firmware. order not important.
3. select in misc. field needed CUSTPACK (.zip archive with customization files)
4. if you do not have CUSTPACK, you MUST check on settings "customize phone after flash"

CID 49,51,52

standalone full reset-based unlock

1. select proper model
2. select needed domain (leave "current" for no change)
3. on settings, check "signed mode","use alternative security bypass"
4. back to semc a2 tab, press unlock

that method can fix damaged SCRC and fixing SEMCBOOT automatically.
that is preferred method for such phones.

server-based full signature unlock

1. select proper model
2. on settings, check "signed mode","do full unlock instead usercode reset",fill login details
3. back to semc a2 tab, press unlock

that method can not fix SCRC.

convert phone to r&d (brown) domain, for that unlock phone in alternative security bypass mode with brown domain set.
3.
if your phone based on db3150 chipset - add to firmware area Shinobu_TA.ssw
if your phone based on db3200 chipset - add to firmware area elle_ta.ssw
if your phone based on db3210 chipset - add to firmware area Shiho_TA.ssw
if your phone based on db3350 chipset - add to firmware area aino_ta.ssw
