Can't unlock 858

What should I do next? firmware update?

Next thing you should do is to follow the instructions step-by-step here: http://www.dc-unlocker.com/huawei_u8...lock_procedure

Followed, result is: Starting DC Kernel..







anyway is a weird procedure.

Detect phone by autodetect.
Try other cable.
Try other usb port direct to motherboard.
Try other computer.
Could you write phone firmware version also?

Version from phone is:

Android 2.2.1
Baseband 22201010
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build 8160V100R001C02B617SP01

Baseband 22201010
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build 8160V100R001C02B617SP01

Sorry, no phones with this firmware version are unlocked by dc-unlocker.
This may be problem why you can not detect it.
Could you try to reflash it to other version?

Hi,

same problem for me - my phone has 2.6.32.9 Kernel and 22201010 Baseband.
I have already bought the credits needed for unlock but did not succeed.
How can the downgrade in firmware be done?
Operator is Vodafone DE (Germany)

You need to change firmware version, not android version.
for example: U8160V100R001C02B618_EFS
This one is supported.

Yes, you are right. Then you need to upgrade.

I didn't find exact 618 version , instead I wrote 619, 620 621 622 623 625

BUT same story, cannot detect entirely.
