I have one quick question. I bought a softbank X01HT and the phone came sim unlocked & super cid. I am running the 1st cingular rom now, but want to try other roms. Some of the rom have a higher boot loader than 1.04. I know that if I change to say a 1.06 bootloader that I have to use a 1.04 bootloader that would have came on the phone, but no cid code to let me know the right rom to use. Just looking for some help, thanks

Dear friend,
I have updated my O2 tytn (bootloader 1.04) with the dopod rom.
I like it but I want to try the new Imate rom.
I have tested it but I don't like it, I prefer dopod rom.
Now, I want to return to dopod but the bootload is 1.06 now.
How can I return to the first rom?
Now I'm flashing it with the original rom from O2, the only one I can use.
The problem is that I want an English rom.
There is someone who know the solution for this problem?
Regards
Daniele
Flash a 1.04 bootloader with your original CID (o2). then you will have to flash back to the dopod.
Ok thanks...I'll try it.

Daniele
Do what barrydavisjr suggests, and when you are on 1.04 bootloader then CID-unlock your device, then you don't have to worry about bootloader version anymore.
See here for the CID unlocker:

ive got a friend with an imate jasjam and i was just wondering if it came cid unlocked...
if so, how would the cingular rom run on it considering it doesnt have video call function...
please let me know
any recommendations for best rom??
Hi,
maybe its SIM unlocked, but it wont be CID unlocked unless you have patched it. if so, then you can instal any rom etc, but first read the wiki to familiarise yourself.
if you have a jasjam in australia (telstra rom), you will first have to downgrade your bootloader to 1.04. you can do this flashing the WWE shipped rom (see the wiki). Once you have boot loader 1.04 then you can CID unlock.
caution: it may invalidate your warranty to CID unlock your pda-phone.
what about a recommendation for the best rom? i just got my JasJam about an hour ago
not sure about that, there are mixed feelings.
I personally use the WWE JASJAM Rom, (originally had the telstra ROM) and I find that it is stable and works well.
I am not ready to make it super CID to explore other ROMS at the moment as 1) I cannot afford to invalidate my warranty (currently on my 2nd device) and 2) too busy with work and now holiday season to spend time playing with it.
I played around with it alot when I first got it but now I require my device to be transparent in what I do, hence, just use the damn thing.. I think the novelty is wearing off and now I am using it for what it is.
However, I will upgrade the ROM when AKU3.2 comes out, hopefully sometime soon.
Hi all,
recently i upgrade my Tytn to last rom available here. I´m a bit disapoiting about this upgrade so i´m considering the possibility to roll-back to original rom.
Since last upgrade change my bootloader to 1.09 and my original was 1.04, to roll-back i just have to run rom package or i have to do something before the downgrade?
Thanks in advance

Can you tell the inital and upgraded ROM / Bootloader versions ?
Hi,
I had this package:
ROM - 1.18.255.3 07/22/06
ExtROM - 1.18.255.106
Radio - 1.03.03.10
Bootloader - 1.04
and i instaled last one available here.
Rom - 1.35.255.2 11/14/06
Bootloader - 1.09
(....)
Let me say that i bought my Tytn "free" unlock. I have no problem about this issue.
Is there any problem instaling original package? Bootlader turns again to 1.04 or remains 1.09?
Thanks in advance
i think you still can downgrade it to the original rom version as the CID is the same, but the bootloader should remain 1.09. here's a quote from the wiki.
Bootloader 1.09 DOES NOT allow DOWNGRADING of itself by means of flashing earlier ROMs. Once installed it is IMPOSSIBLE to DOWNGRADE SPL 1.09 to 1.06 or 1.04 by regular means!

doesn't making the device SuperCID fix this problem?
[edit] and by problem, I don't mean getting 1.04 back, I mean there's really no point since you can flash any ROM you wish anyway, and I'm seriously asking cause I'm not sure [/edit]

yes, if your device is supercid, you can flash the roms from different vendors. what is recommended for all is making the device supercid while you are still at the bootloader 1.04. if your device was made supercid while you had the original rom with the bootloader 1.04, you shouldn't have any problems with flashing whichever rom although the bottloader will remain 1.09 in your case.
You can flash any ROM that matches your CID. If you have SuperCID you can flash every ROM. The bootloader will remain 1.09 though.
Hi all, Just got a an O2 mini S for my wife because she liked mine so much. Unfortunately it is a G4 (mine is a G3) and it has all of these CID unlocking issues. I want to put a WWE Rom on this German G4. Is it correct that if I unlock my phone at http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ I can put any ROM on the G4? Or can I still only put certain ROMs (if so which ones?) on the G4? Thanks for any help.
Dave
yes http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ will cid unlock your phone, making it possible for you to flash your device with all sorts of roms using the normal ruu .exe method.
Alternatively you can use mun's shelltool.
Good Luck
Got it
I used the tutorial here: CID Locked Flashing (MUN's as you suggested), and I was able to flash a WWE Rom. I have to say I was scared I would damage the phone, but MUN's top notch instructions helped a lot.
Thanks for the help!
Newbie ? What is CID unlock? Do I need to do it to my Cingular 3125 before I can install WM6? Thanks
CID unlock
I am a newbie as well, however with the advice on this forum I was able to upgrade my startrek to WM6.
You must do a cid unlock - thanks to this your phone will be taking on the ROMs which are not made by the official sources.
How to do it - look for it better in the forum, and use the older version of the unlock program!
Just for information: It is not necessary to do the CID Unlock for every WM6 ROM. Erofichs ROMs for example can be flashed without a CID Unlock. I also flashed my StrTrk withot CID Unlock but I know that GnattoSplat Roms always need this way of unlock.
Sooo.... What is it, and why would i unlock my Qtek 8500? I already have 6.1 on it...
_JAAWA
CID = Carrier ID
When you CID unlock, you are making the phone so its not "locked" to a specific carrier's rom. By doing a CID unlock, you could flash a Cingular 3125 official rom on a QTEK 8500 for instance.
As stated, some (all?) of the cooked roms here are not carrier specific, so CID Unlocking appears to not have to be done. Personally, for what little time it takes to do this, just do it and you won't have to worry about flashing a rom and it not working becuase of carrier info.
NOTE: CID unlocking is different than SIM unlocking. SIM Unlocking is what allows you to use any SIM in the phone. CID unlocking is just for flashing different carrier roms. YOu can be CID unlocked and run a different carrier's rom, but if you aren't SIM unlocked, you can't use their SIM... (hope thats clear).
qtek 8500
so is the qtek 8500 from expansys CID locked?It is sim unlocked...
I flashed my Qtek 8500 with Gnats ROM without CID Unlock, Just for Information!
I'm using dopod s300 which is not sim locked.
do i have to registry unlock and cid unlock before i flash to wm 6.1 rom ??
