Couple of questions on CID rom and so on. - G4

Hi, i done a fair amount of searching but to be honest there just to many posts about this to get a answer to be sure of.
If someone could spare a moment to help out i be grateful of there time.
1) How do it tell if my phone is CID locked ?.
I sure mine is a G4 model now, but i updated rom and so on, and all works ok there, but i am unsure if i used a locked rom update. So i am unsure, of course i dont wish to brick my phone like some have.
2) I live in England, UK, and like to know what are the newest roms and radio rom for my area.
Currently i have the following....
IPL 2.16.0001
SPL 2.16.0001
GSM 02.07.10
OS 2.16.9.1
Rom Version 2.16.9.1 WWE
Rom Date 2/6/06
Radio Version 02.07.10
Protocol 413.1.03
I read that radio roms do the phone side of things, and would like to update that as i get a few drops on calls, i use O2. What is the best one i can use, also can i use a radio rom from another area not just European ?
I like to test out WM6 but like others lead me to an error on CID locking (300 error code) hence i like to confirm i have a CID locked phone, but i was told when purchased it was fully unlocked.
Any help would be very greatful.

Here is what you have to do:
- download any G4 rom from xda ftp
- unpack it
- replace the update tool from the WM6 one with the one from the G4 rom (when you will run it, it will be in italian)
- don`t worry about bricking your phone, it can only happen if you try to update your IPL/SPL and the WM6 ROM doesn`t include those upgrades.
(if your Wizard is CID-locked, after the upgrade, your OS will be the same one you had before the upgrade, if not, be happy) )

I can give a little help if you feel you can trust me.
Use a little program called pdocread.exe (by itsme) and read the bdk1 using the following command:
pdocread.exe -n 1 0 0x10000 [saved_filename] and then contact me via PM to send me the encrypted file so that i can read it and check the CID value. I must warn you that the resulting file will have your phone's IMEI in it.
For this program to work your phone must have RAPI and Unsigned Apps enabled
You could also use mtty.exe program to check the CID status by using the info 2 command
Code:
Cmd>info 2
GetDeviceInfo=0x00000002
+ SD Controller init
- SD Controller init
+StorageInit
***** user area size = 0x3D080000 Bytes
[B] [COLOR=Blue]HTCSSuperCID ' HTCE[/COLOR][/B] <------- CID status!!!
To be honest i'd prefer the first solution since i'm writing a Wizard service tool and as my phone is a full unlocked Qtek i need locked CID blocks to compare and understand a bit more about that zone.
cheers

Sent email with pdocread info. Here are my mtty results.
PHP:
Cmd>info 2
GetDeviceInfo=0x00000002
+ SD Controller init
- SD Controller init
+StorageInit
***** user area size = 0x3C8C0000 Bytes
HTCSWIZCNG01 »“4‚HTCE

I assume the "HTCSWIZCNG01" is just verifying what I already knew? That I am CID locked to cingular?

---

I managed to get a list with a lot of CID codes for different operators and will check your value (once i find the file ) but i also believe that your phone is indeed CID locked; sorry

---

Many thanks for the details, tried it last night but would not change, so i at least know i have a cid locked system now.
Maybe wiorth getting it unlocked, but to be honest it was more of a wanting to know if it was or was not, know i know that i happy with what i got. Maybe an offical update will work when its released.
Again cheers all for your help and advice.
Any further info still be greatful with details of first post about radio roms still if you can.

After do a CID unlock with awizard, rechecked and still showing the same.
but when i try to dump rom doing "r2sd all" in mtty1.42 it doesn´t allows me. In awizard done.
Cmd>r2sd all
***** user area size = 0x1E880000 Bytes
R2SDBackup() - Download type = 5
usTotalBlock = 1 sizeof(SDCARD_SIGNATRUE_TABLE)=512
You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image
Cmd>
If it´s unloked, i supose, after reading forums, that i can change rom from WWE to last Spanish (2.18....)
IPL/SPL: 2.17.0001
GSM 02.07.10
OS 2.17.7.2
wait your answers. Thanks.

A quick search around the forum would have shown you that it's not possible to CID unlock a G4 device for free.
Yours is a G4 and if you compare with my values from post #4 you can see that yours isn't CID unlocked
cheers

---

Thanks.
i suposed that as wasn´t in CID list was unlocked. But i get it more clear.
So the only ways to change rom and language are, or pay or try it with the Solutuion found: how to flash any rom to CIDLOCKED DEVICE.

Hi again, it´s done.
I did it with "QTEK Rom 2.18.7.8 AKU2 ESN + Radio 02.47.11 Con CID Bloqueado by jossma". It works great, and in spanish. I have to "repair" a little problem with keyboard.
i´m happy. thanks for all. jejeje
