Is your phone rooted (as stated in the requirements)?

simple root checker says:
application superuser found
terminal rooted
busybox not installed

busybox not installed

The description of Build Prop Editor says "Root and busybox are required for this app to work correctly".

Either install BusyBox or just use a plain text editor to edit build.prop instead of Build Prop Editor.

'ro.semc.version.cust' should never be higher than the customization you want to change to, otherwise it won't work. 'R1A' is the lowest possible value, so it always works. When you flash the new customization, it will automatically be changed to the real version.

Thanx!
I tried, but It's not save the changes, busybox installed.

Did you get the Superuser request and tap 'Grant' or 'Allow' (step 2)? Did you get any error message?

Yes, I did. There was no any error notifications.

Very strange. Here's what you can do: install File Manager, enable 'Root Explorer' and 'Mount System Folders' in its settings, browse to /system, tap 'build.prop', open it as text, choose 'Text Editor', edit those two values manually and save the file. Then reboot your phone.

No, newer versions of Flashtool seem to exclude simlock.ta automatically.

There is only one firmware customization for C6606 (T-mobile US), so you don't have any choice. Also, cross flashing C6603 firmware to a C6606 is not possible using the method from this guide and it's not recommended either.

I already explained that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49730289&postcount=732
What do you mean with unlock? Does your phone have a simlock? Or do you mean unlocking the bootloader? The bootloader cannot be unlocked on the C6606.

 

[Antarezphlamez]

Oh i see now.

Which lock does it have? You can find this in the service menu (dial *#*#7378423#*#* > Service Info > SIM lock).

 

[Antarezphlamez]

Network Lock.

It have a network lock I guess. It's the only one with a mark.

Okay, you can contact T-Mobile US to see if they are willing to give you the unlock code. If not, you will have to buy an unlock code from a website (such as http://cellunlocker.net/) or a seller on eBay.

Can this work to unlock an unlockable bootloader?

Will this method aid me in unlocking my Bell C6616 unlockble bootloader?
There must be a way round it....any advice would be fantastic, thanks.

No. Flashing different firmware will not affect the bootloader in any way. There is no way currently (and may never be) to unlock a non-unlockable bootloader.
