Download the firmware of any vendor but ensure that it is the latest version. Before installing you will need to delete a file named vendor.xml or something. That makes the phone unlocked after the firmware flashing is done.

done that i hardly took 5-10 minutes but still the phone is locked :-(
 
buddy this wouldn't have worked .. m dead sure .. its just for updating the FW nothing else ..

to check the status : go to options<advanced<sim< type mepd .. if the network is active then its still locked otherwise for unlocked it would have shown disabled

Your best bet is contact Airtel : bb.support@airtel.in .. tell them ur imei, pin , subscriber details and they'll get back to u with the code in 5 days ,and its FREE.. hope all this helped.
 
You will need to insert a SIM with BIS / BES activated for the firmware upgrade i guess.

Coz even i was unable to update firmware without a BIS sim card.
