How to unlock AT&T LG Arena SIM Card?
To unlocking your AT&T LG Arena SIM Card, you must download USB drivers, FlashTool E2, EditHexa, EBL.fls and KM900.flb files, some other you need please check out below list, we found these tutorial on lg-phones blog, it’s an useful post, please install them on your computer which we just told you, (If your experiencing troubles during the process, try to uninstall everything from LG (including PC SUITE), reboot, reinstall USB drivers, and try again).
– What you need
This dll (version 4.32.0.0) :http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KNJLLAP7 Replace the one in FlashTool E2 file once installed by this one.
Note:This tutorial does not yet allow you to totally unlock your LG Arena SIM Card, but allows you to choose which operator you want to work with. This is repeatable as many time as you want, so it’s still pretty good (but you won’t be able to use another operator if you are not near your computer). Hopefully with a little more work, we’ll be able to have our phones unlock for several operators, or even all operators.

On the tab “Auto Start” select Auto Start (DSR / USB Detection)
1.2
On the main screen, go to the binary tab.
Select NAND as a Flash Type, and go on the Upload tab
On “Destination Binary File”, put the path of the file as you want to save it (e.g. : C:\STATIC_EEP.bin)
On “EBL Reference File” Select the file “06_BB_MPEH.fls”
Put 0Ă—544FC000 as a start adress

Click on Yes
Plug in your Phone(Off, without battery, without sim card) on the same slot where you had it recognized (you have 10 sec before time out / can be modified on the setting menu)
The uploading of your static EEP Part should be happening
Go on the path that you chose before, and your STATIC_EEP should be there !
2 – Choose your operator
2.1
The file you have is in fact your STATIC_EEP merged with your 06_BB_MPEH.fls, therefore, only the first 80Ko are interesting for us.
Open the file with your Hexadecimal Editor.
2.2
Go to this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code and find your operator code(the one you use, and the one you want to use)-(if longer than 5 digits, take the first 5)
2.3
Look in the hexadecimal editor for your operator code (Value should be starting at offset = 00000E50 column 2, and has a length of 5)
Replace it by the operator code you want to use (if typing it in decimal, change the value and the decimal part of your editor)
[Note : I'm looking either for a generic operator code, or a way to put several operators in a row in this space (separator between two operators ?) Thanks for any help(the static eep part of an unlocked phone could help ]
Save your file
