Try this, it might help:
xda-developers - View Single Post - [CDMA][ROM] R800x with UK firmware

If you wanted root, it's alot easier than unlocking your bootloader... I have a thread sitting around here with a way to do it, or, SuperOneClick works up until (i think) the .62 firmware...


Here's the full tutorial with a fix (that was used for the R800x, it should *should* work on the R800i)

Any luck?

yes, i managed to map the keys just enough to re-flash the image again. i was so happy with the link you gave me. but one problem arises...previously, before i flash the phone my simcard works on it. After reflashing, the phone doesnt accept the simcard as if its locked to some network..though i havent tried the phone to other simcard coz i dont have any...is there any software to unlock it? sorry for the delay response i was stuck at work for quiet sometime.

That might have to do with the boot.img you flashed... Head on over to xda and try flashing one of the kernels there... (read before you flash)
