Hi .. i want know when you talk about CID locked, what it is that ?
I have my 8125 G4 unlocked, to can use any sim chip, from any Mobile Operator on the world, so, for my idea i have unlocked my 8125, but when you talk about CID i cant understan if you talk about othe lock protection, or, if how i have unlocked my phone for a any sim chip, i have my 8125 CID unlocked.
Some one can explain to me better?
Thank's a lot, i want to try the WM6 Rom, and i need know if i have unlocked my 8125, i think that my 8125 is G4 not G3 about the FAQS that i see on the forum, You can see my IPL/SPL data, on my signature.
I have yet the Cingular WM5 that come from factor.
And i want know if i can made a my own custome ROOM, and how do that.
I'll come straight to my questions:
QUESTION 1) HOW TO CHECK IF A G4 PHONE IS CID UNLOCKED?
QUESTION 2)HOW TO CHANGE IMEI FOR A WIZARD G4 IPL/SPL 2.21.0001
AS I HAVE ALREADY TRIED TO DOWNGRADE MY ROM WITH "CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE" BUT IT GIVES ERROR 300 AFTER 3 STRIP SCREEN
I HAVE TRIED A COUPLE OF ROMS BY FOLLOWING STEPS...
CHANGE ROM BUT IPL/SPL REMAINS 2.*.0001 WHY THE F__K (I WANT TO KNOW)
1) LOKIWIZ02B--- DOING UNLCOK AND THEN CID UNLOCK
2) THEN IWIZARD TO CHANGE THE IMEI PUT IN ANY IMEI BUT IT REMAINS SAME.
PLEASE GUYS ANYONE WHOSE GONE THOUGH THIS SITUATION... HELP ME OUT BY STEPS
I REALLY REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

Thanx for the concern guys, because i bought this t-mobile mda vario locked on any network thats y i need to cha*g* imei no.
----->"can you please tell me which specfic rom should i use to downgrade it 1st"..
then as u said earlier unlock it with lokiwiz 03 and
use iwizard to cha*g* the imei
and upgrade the rom in the end
and i have even paid money to unlcok it from imei-check but that never worked aswell
I searched the site and only saw some people who are using the t-mo MDA rom on the g3 wizards - but I have a cid locked g4 8125. I looked in the t-mo MDA rom and it has a ipl / spl file, but will it brick my phone if I try to flash it? Thanks!
You may use ShellTool which will extract and flash only the OS portion for you.
I read a post in another thread on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325961
That said 'you would brick the phone if you update seperately'.

You will need to CID unlock your device before you can flash the T-Mobile firmware to your 8125. The G4 CID unlock is ready for use I think. I would do a bit of reading to hear all of the trial and error and read the update history and make sure I know what I was getting into before starting. Fortunately, I have a G3 and it is CID unlocked. Unfortunately, It's currently broken and is un-usable...
Hello everyone,
I am actually posting this threat because I have been doing a lot of research on How to CID unlock my T-Mobile MDA (HTC Wizard). (Version for USA)
It is a SPL/IPL 2.26, a G4 Device.
What I have done is read almost all threads about this subject. All threads say that you cannot, CANNOT, CID unlock a G4 device unless you do it from this website http://www.imei-check.co.uk/. It costs $40.
I was really looking for an alternative way, and so I called HTC USA. Guess what they told me, they DO NOT unlock CID. The guy that I spoke to told me that to search in www.xda-developers.com... how ironic..
I have tried the lokiwiz, but since it is a G4 device it will not work.
Anyways, I wanted to know if there is another way to CID unlock my MDA G4.
Any help would be great!
G4 has it's own special thread
you should look in the G4 thread under wizard, it has all the information you need for you phone.
Search before asking questions. Use HardSPL to CID unlock G4 phones. All the info is in the G4 section.
Just curious, but will the "Wizard Service Tool" do it?
It APPEARS it would... but I don't have a G4 device....
Flashing G4's
Hi syrupofwood,
I have a wizard like yours.
The question is: Why to CID unlock...? Usually the reason is to be able to flash new Roms that are not TMobile (or any provider) specific.
So then, there are other ways to allow flashing these custom roms into your CID Locked device.
First, always keep in mind that you should not attempt changing your IPL/SPL section. Breaking that piece of rom your wizard might not be able to communicate with anything and become a brick. Remember this as a Golden Rule! (exception is the HardSPL Method itself, but read about that carefully)
Many of the Roms that the forum "Chefs" are distributing are so called "G4 friendly", meaning, they do not package an IPL/SPL section on them(See latest posts in Wizard WM6 forum). I am a "happy user" of itsright's TNT-series roms, but there are many other great Roms being posted in the forum.
Then, refer to the Hard-SPL method(like nitroproductioms mentioned) or also the SoftSPL method which has always worked great for me.(That's the one I use to flash Roms in my wizard)
These two are the first two stickies in this current forum (Wizard G4), so you should have seen them already.
This is the thread for Soft-SPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329147
Please keep in mind that that single thread contains all the information you would ever need to follow this method for a succesful Rom flash. So, please read it carefully and follow all steps.
There are other methods that can also be used ( ie: shelltool), which work great but they are not as streamlined as the SoftSPL.
Having a G4, forget about lokiwiz for anything other than SIM-unlocking the device. Great tool, but its CID unlocking does Not work for G4s.
Welcome to xda-developers forum (and the Wizard family )
Have fun!
Correct me if I am mistaken but I know I know how to read and in the first post it says that his IPL/SPL is 2.26. That would make his device a G3. Sounds like someone needs to do their homework. Read the wiki. There's a link to a very complete tutorial in my signature.
G3, G$ and unlocking
I think some G4 devices do have 2.26 IPL/SPL.
As to unlocking G4, there is no known free process to that. However, there is a company that would do that for a fee. I don't rememer its name though.

Hello all,
First of all, thank you all for the posts.
Here is the thing. The reason why I want to CID unlock my device is to upload different ROMS. (Mainly why I posted this thread under WM6 category)
Obviously I did some homework... and tried different methods like Shelltool and to tell you the truth it just doesn't quite work. My rom will be corrupted, features on the phone will not work properly..
dharvey4651 actually many many 2.26 devices are G4, like mine. I tried using lokiwiz to CID unlock it and the tool would give me an error which meant that it was actually a G4 device. That is not really the way I found that out, but that just made it sure.
nitroproductions I will try HardSPL today. I did read about it before but I was not too sure about it. What everyone points out is that messing with your SPL is kinda dangerous. I will try it and hope it goes all right. On this thread I was mainly looking for an alternative from www.imei-check.co.uk/.
Again, thanks for the posts everyone.

If you have a 2.26 ILP/SPL it's a G3 !!!
If you have a 2.26.0001 IPL/SPL it's a G4.
No discussion possible!
Lokiwiz only CID unlocks 1.01 ≥ 1.05 bootloaders (as told in stickies)
If you force the hardSPL to a G3, it will be bricked.
BTW ALL wizards can be unlocked for free

syrupofwood, I used HardSPL to unlock my CID. If you follow the instructions properly, you will have no problems. I was scared too before I did it coz it meant modifying the IPL/SPL part of the phone, but I followed the instructions carefully and everything worked out fine. Its a great hack and props to the developers. Good luck.
Solution
Ok, here it goes;
My device ended up not being G4, it was a G3. ( No discussion possible! )
The issue was that it was a T-Mobile MDA/HTC WIZARD WITH AKU2 .
A little detail...
The solution I used was done by faria (great!!) and is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263116&highlight=unlocking
I followed every detail and got my device working.
Thanks all!.

Great, your wizard survived
Have fun with the new ROMs
Hi there. I've searched a lot already, I know you don't like us noobs to ask the same thing 4567890 times. But 've searched.
I have a G4 Cingular 8125. SIM locked to cingular of course... how can I use it with another carrier...
I already even flashed another ROM (XM6r5). Used lokiwiz 0.2b (couldn't find a newer version, but I heard somewhere there's 0.3a... just couldn't find it). But I still get the "network is locked" message at booting up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards.

of the phone here.
Cheers!

What exactly you want to do,if you just want to get SIM unlock code,then use lokiwiz03a to generate a SIM unlocking code,but if you want to upgrade it to any latest wm6 rom,use the 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL' method,its not possible to CID unlock a G4 phone.
Download the 'WST Tool' and run the 'CID Action' button to verify the CID locked/unlocked status of your phone.
BTW, whats the present IPL/SPL...? of the phone. As you say you have flashed wizard_love Rom,whats the status of the phone ?
Cheers!
eh guys i just unlocked cingular 8125 with lockwiz 03. really great.
