Unlocking BlackBerry with MFI Multiloader

I want to share my experience with unlocking BB 8120, which was locked to Orange UK. It worked for me, and it should work for other models. I did serious research and this is procedure that came up:


1. Install Blackberry Desktop Manager. I recomend latest version ~version: 5.0.1 B49; size: 258MB
(download link: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/ ).

2. Next one is NET Framework. Install it. ~version: 2.0; size: 22.4MB.
( download link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=32168 )

3. Download and install latest OS for your device ~size: 90+MB.
( BlackBerry Desktop and Device Software Download Sites: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support...load_sites.jsp )
~choose network on which phone is locked

~3.a Delete vendor.xml from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research in Motion\Apploader

4. Download and install MFI Multiloader ~version:2.0.1.3.; size: 718MB
( download link~torrent: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4579...0.1.3_10_files )

~4.a MFI Multiloader short setup tutorial: In downloaded archive notice all8files.rar ( 8 parts ), and MMLSetup. Extract them and run MMLSetup.msi. Extracted files from all8files.rar put in folder MML, and after finished installation overwrite installed MML folder with extracted. ( path~C:\MML )

5. Disconnect from Internet before starting procedure!

6.
-Now you can start with unlocking. Open MFI Multiloader, and connect your device. Application will automaticly start process.

-You can see reading, writing etc...Just wait until MFI shows you PASS.

-On your phone screen will be shown "1". Disconnect it, and type START

-After finishing this operation phone can show you message like "error 507" or "no application linked"...don't worry, it's "normal".

-Your phone is unlocked now, but you'll need to reinstall OS and set it up.

~ Troubleshooting( I had this problems, if you get others post it and i'll try to help )

1. Device could not connect on MFI Multiloader.
     ~ Copy BbDevMgr.exe from the C:\MML\bin\, and overwrite same one in the location C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\USB Drivers\

2. MFI Multiloader shows FAIL.
     ~ You can get this message if your MFI Multiloader version is older. Download newest, and just repeat process.
Code:
~Mass Storage Fix 
After everything, I successfully adjusted device, but I had problem with Mass Storage detection ( sometimes phone cannot connect on PC as Mass Storage ).
Use fix.; run mass storage activator.bat ( see atachment )
