okay, being a newbie to the Softbank X01HT, I went through the forums, FAQs, and Wiki as much as I can...
anyway, i checked with imei-check in regards to unlocking my SIM; however, their method unlocks the SIM, as well as SuperCID the device. from what i undertand - SuperCID the device would void the warranty, correct?
this being the case, if i do use imei-check, is there a way to "undo" the SuperCID?
similary, i can also use a process that only unlocks the SIM, ie., pof's free unlocker... however, as ive read, this is NOT compatible with Softbank X01HT models released after December 2006. right?
in this case, are there any other ways to unlock the SIM?
----
on the other hand, all i need is to unlock the SIM (no need for a SuperCID) - if there are people out there who have a better idea in going about this, please teach me...
thanks in advanced...!!!
PS: here is my Softbank X01HT
ROM: 1.33.761.4
ROM Date: 11/10/06
Radio Version: 1.14.00.10
As far as I know once you supercid it can't be reversed. I believe that if you use the hard-spl to flash, supercid isn't required anymore.
Now onto the unlocking the sim. I'm also a little bit confused on the options available. Please one of the gurus here step in and offer an explanation

the way i would understand is that if imei-check.co.uk unlocker is used, there arent any issue or problems. can anyone confirm/verify this?
however, for my needs at least - all i need is for my X01HT to be SIM unlocked. i dont need it to be SuperCID, nor i need to flash any other ROM. and unfortunately, imei-check cannot do this (there are NO options for a SIM unlock-only, or a SIM unlock and SuperCID)...
i hope any of the gurus here can help, or at least confirm this understanding...
old X01HT can perfectly unlocked by V3.
how do you know the date about your X01HT produced?

Just for clarification:
imei-check temporarily SuperCIDs your device, you lost the SuperCID status when you flash another radio on it.
With the 1.16 patched radio included in my unlocker you also temporarily SuperCID the device, then you have to run the exe file on your Hermes which will let you choose if you just want to SIM-Unlock or both (do the SuperCID sticky forever). If you don't choose the SuperCID option, then the SuperCID status is lost when you flash another radio on it.
I have had reports of people unlocking without problems X01ht devices with v3, but some others reported they can't boot OS after unlocking, and as I can't test it I put the warning, so do it at your own risk.
Anyway, I'm planning to release a new unlocker version soon

thanks for the reply, pof...
on the other hand, what do you mean by "temporarily SuperCIDs..."...? would it mean that the device is still registered to Softbank and at the same time you can flash another ROM?
all i want though is just have my device SIM-free so i dont have to deal with exorhbitant roaming rates when travelling abroad... not much privy with playing with other ROMs, yet; as well as not wanting to void my warranty.

really? what would be the new stuff that youd be adding in?
I am an owner of a BEFORE DEC. model X01HT and sim unlock&SuperCID by pof's v2a unlocker.
Since April is coming, I have to update the rom to use the net according SB. I wonder if the sim-unlock will remain after I update. i hope so sadly.
I, TOO, don't mind the SuperCID.
Anyway, thank pof ad waiting for the new unlocker.
ps: if i use another sim card other than SB, I can use WIFI or BT only about two minites continiously. then it will be disconnected automatically. Anyone else has same experience? I use SB_USIM to avoid the annoying popup.
I submit this post via my X01HT.

I know there is no free utility yet to CID unlock the G4 devices. Those of you that have unlocked your G4's at the IMEI-Check site http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php Is this just a SIM unlock or also a CID unlock?
If it is a CID unlock are you now able to make a ROM backup using the R2SD method shown in post 8 of this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258819&highlight=r2sd+backup
This is my main reason for wanting to CID unlock. I want to be able to make a full ROM backup with this method, before trying any new ROMs. My CID locked 9100 gives me this error "You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image" when I try a R2SD backup

So does this CID unlock the phone if it's a G4, you're a bit unclear?
IMEI check is SIM and CID unlocking. If you are gonna do it, see my post here.
yes... using the method availble at imei-check.co.uk will very much CID-unlock your device
NOTE: There's been a lot of posts regarding this subject but the fact of the matter is that you do in fact get your phone CID-unlocked at this website despite what you may have read in other threads...
What are the security or other implications of handing over my IMEI to them? Is that safe?

No worse than handing over your credit card info to them.
IMEI Check is a reputable company, and doing what they do, it is in their best interest to safeguard your information. Also, I've never seen any complaints against them that weren't about how much they charged for their service.
They DO intimate that they can re-lock your phone remotely if you back out on payment, but if you deal in good faith, I don't ever see that as a problem.
Of course, YMMV, but probably not.
How many..?
Hi,
I've heard that my device will be CID locked again after applying one of the ROMs. Does this mean I have to CID unlock my device again??
Just to be sure I can restore my backup ;-)
I've already paid for the CID unlocking, but it seems that the extended rom specifically NEVER installs. This, to me, seems like its not unlocked if that isn't working, or at least not fully unlocked. I've run the unlocking tool (from imei-check) 3 times now, I believe, and installed many different ROMs.
How can you CHECK if the unlock worked on a G4?
moonrock You may check CID having started Prophet in mode bootloader and having started mtty142 and take command info 2 - You see your CID.
imei-check does not do unlocking ExtROM this absolutely area miscellaneous.

Although all the information can be found on the forum and in the HTC Hermes Wiki there are always many posts with questions about upgrading and unlocking. I hope this will make it a bit clearer for you:
Bootloader
The bootloader is the place where you can change the low-level software parameters and some hardware parameters of the Hermes, change and read the ROM and provides information about it.
The bootloader is invoked by pressing down both the POWER button and SIDE OK together and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the bottom.
The bootloader version is shown for a short amount of time when booting the device. You'll see "SPL-1.0X"
Versions
1.04
There is a bug in bootloader 1.04 wich allows you to flash any ROM without a CID check. You have to be in bootloader mode to use this bug.
It's possible to upgrade the RadioROM. You can even flash a patched RadioROM wich is needed to unlock your device.
1.06
The bug from version 1.04 is fixed. Without downgrading to a Shipped ROM with bootloader 1.04 that matches your CID it's not possible to flash a ROM with a different CID.
The RadioROM can't be upgraded. You have to downgrade to bootloader 1.04 to unlock your device.
1.09
You can't downgrade to bootloader 1.04 by flashing a Shipped ROM. However imei-check.co.uk is able to downgrade the bootloader.
There was a solution posted on this forum, but it was stolen from imei-check and was removed. If you are not willing to pay you have to wait until another solution is developed.
The RadioROM can't be upgraded. You have to downgrade to bootloader 1.04 to unlock your device.
CID
The CID your device has varies from operater to operater. It should garantee that only upgrades from a single operater can be installed (to ensure the device is branded etc.)
You can make your device SuperCID wich is some kind of "root-mode". Then you will be able to flash every ROM without thinking about bootloader versions and CIDs.
To find out wich CID your device has use the command "info 2" in bootloader. Read Hermes_BootLoader to know how to use the bootloader.
Preparations
Before you upgrade your ROM (wich will also upgrade your bootloader) you should make your device SuperCID.
Especially if you either upgrade to bootloader 1.06 and there's no Shipped ROM Upgrade with bootloader 1.04 available that matches your CID or upgrade to bootloader 1.09
Unlock / Make your device SuperCID
Use pof's SIM Unlock v2a. This will flash a patched RadioROM that is needed for the unlocking process. Unlock v2a makes your device SuperCID and removes the SIM-Lock.
You need bootloader version 1.04!
The process of flashing the RadioROM and use the unlocker is explained here
There is one restriction: At the moment it's not possible to unlock X01HT devices wich where bought after 12/1/2006 and have bootloader version 1.09 and RadioROM version 1.14.0.10! Please be patient.
Radio version can be checked from Start->Settings->System->Device Information:Radio Version.
Downgrade Bootloader
If you have bootloader version 1.06 and there is a Shipped ROM Upgrade with bootloader version 1.04 available that matches your CID you can flash it to downgrade your bootloader.
Otherwise - you are on bootloader 1.09 or there is no Shipped ROM Upgrade available - you have to use imei-check.co.uk or wait until another (free) solution is developed.
For the method imei-check uses to downgrade the bootloader a working operating system is required.
Upgrade the ROM
If you flash a ROM the first time you should read Upgrade For Beginners and the Upgrade FAQ if you have further questions.
Available Upgrades are listed here
Upgrade RadioROM
There are also Extracted RadioROMs available. You need bootloader 1.04 to flash these!
good summary sn00x. you should post this on the wiki as well.
tthank u very much for the information. it is a bit clearer for me now
Excellent summary for the beginner! Vielen Dank!
Please also read Quentin-'s Hermes Upgrading Guide for a detailed description of the upgrade process and information about ExtendedROM cooking.
it should be posted in the wiki
cristal clear now.... I had posted a question in another thread and read a lot of forums without success. Now I know for sure that have to wait... any ideas on how much time.. thanks for all the help!!!
Super CID
When one upgrades a Radio ROM is it necessary to go back and make the device Super CID again, or is it sticky.
The reason for this question is that I down graded to bl 1.04, made my device Super CID as it was never simlocked, and then upgraded my Radio to 1.27. My device returned a QTEK code, so I just ran Super CID again. It now again displays Super CID.
Is that the way it works?
Thanks for your posting - it certainly has taught me a lot!
@basilrsa: To make SuperCID sticky you need to run Herm_Unlock_v2a.exe on your phone while it has the patched radio that shows SuperCID. Otherwise it is lost after radio upgrades.
Thanks again pof

Thanks pof for that information. That's what I figured out so I reflashed the patched radio,reran Herm_Unlock_v2a.exe and then flashed the 1.27 radio.
Just to be sure I reran the Herm_Unlock_v2a.exe.
I guess that should be OK
Has this been put into the wiki? Someone please do the honours and report back with a roger wilco.

bl1.04
Gentlemen,
Quentin wrote:
"Even with the Super CID hack you cannot install a different radio
if your ROM installed BootLoader 1.06 or greater."
If my current machine state is
1. "Sticky" superCID has been accomplished.
2. Task 32 verifies the device is in superCID mode.
3. Bootloader page displays 1.04
does it stay that way for good regardless of what I flash? If I flash a rom which carries bl1.09 what is the bootloader version going to read on the device at the completion of the flash process?
If I make this simple and go buy a IMEI-check unlock to superCID my bl1.09 system will the bootloader page change to read bl1.04 and will it stay that way regardless of what I flash?
Is bl1.04 going to stay put with subsiquent rom loads?
Thanks

Read the WIKI first... it tells you to issue 'info 2' command in bootloader.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Seriously, if you've CID unlocked and radio flashed your Hermes without reading this far you're probably going to brick your phone sometime soon, so it'll pay to do some more reading before you play too much more.
1.04 vs 1.06 vs 1.09
I've been "burning eyelashes" for the last few days, my Firefox tabs seems like a huge cargo train
One thing i never could understand of all the readings i've made is about the functional advantages on the various bootloaders . Let me explain:
I know 1.04 is the only one that allows radio-only flashes but let's forget all flashing. Let's concentrate on everyday's use.
Does anyone know if 1.06 and 1.09 will make the PDA run better? I mean, if there's a newer ROM that brings bug corrections and new features so i guess that's the same for bootloaders. In this line of thinking 1.09 should do something better than 1.04. If so what is it?
Why i'm making this question? It's because everyone wants to have the best software version for himself uses, so i don't understand why people improve on ROM's, ExtROM and radios but keep a lower version of the bootloader after flashing. Aren't they missing something using 1.04 instead of 1.09?
I have my TyTN only for a week now and i'm looking forward to do things right by reading all that i need to know. So far this is the question that i haven't seen answered.
Cheers everyone,
Evandro
Well...I'm no expert but I'd imagine that you're venturing down the wrong path. I would venture a guess that many of the bootloader revisions have been made solely to enforce increased security or to attempt to prevent hacking or modding of the underlying OS and Radio ROMs.
That was a really great summary and guide. Unfortunately from all the threads and Wikis I have been reading I feel like alot has been changing very fast and I don't fully understand. This guide was great, and I was wondering if the author or anyone else (there are a bunch of guys on here who really know what they are doing) could write an updated (mabey even more detailed/technical) version. I know how to do all the flashing and stuff, but I'm not so confident I know how it's all working, especially the more recent stuff. Mabey including how stuff like the SSPL, hard SPL, mtty, KITL, nbh/nbs, and other more technical methods being used now other than the standard RUUs.
I know almost all of this info is in the forums and the wikis, but it's a little rough to grasp it all when not together. I hope this doesn't upset anyone, I just figured Quentin was gracious enough to do it once mabey he or someone else would want to do it again. If it's too much to ask then just ignore my request. I have been reading the forums for a few months now and think you guys are doing amazing work. You have improved in weeks what it takes MS to build in years and you do it much better. Thank to all and sorry again if I offended anyone by asking this (just really scared to brick my really expensive phone ...lol)
Thanks

I've got an pre-December X01HT that I originally unlocked using imei-check's unlocker, and then made SuperCID by flashing pof's radio and running his unlocker v2a.
If I run Softbank's upgrader on it, will it stay unlocked, or did Softbank figure out how to re-lock the phones with the upgrade? It's important that I be able to continue to use the phone with both my Softbank and Globe (phils.) sim cards...

i have no idea why you used both the unlockers, but my x01ht unlocked by imei-check is still unlocked after i burn the new s/b rom. also, i believe it still has supercid since i can still switch between docomo rom and s/b rom.
apply the imei-check unlocker again, and look for welcome.exe in \windows\start up. back it up, and install it whenever you hard-reset. (i don't know if this little program is installed only on s/b rom, tho...) without this program, x01ht will give you a "wrong sim" warning pop-up even though your device is actually unlocked. it kills this sim monitoring process.

my cid was VODAK801. so, it was my misunderstanding that i thought my device still kept supercid after burning the s/b rom. it looks like it's been fixed to the s/b cid although i use it with the docomo rom now after unlocking by imei-check and burning the new s/b rom. interesting.

Yes, imei-check unlocker downgrades to bootloader 1.04, removes SIMLock and sets the device SuperCID, but the supercid status is lost when another ROM or radio ROM is flashed.
In my unlocker, Herm_Unlock_v2a.exe makes the SuperCID stay forever once patched radio has been flashed.

Yes... I only applied pof's unlocker recently. Before, I never found the need for supercid, since I could just drop down to bootloader 1.04 to put a different rom on... But now the newest roms can't be unlocked if the device is not supercid.
Well, I'm going to hold on until the bitter end, will apply Softbank's rom on 3/31 if nobody has come up with the new password at that point...

now, i understand... well, i have lost a chance to run pof's unlocker to make my x01ht to keep supercid for good since i have burnt the new s/b rom once. on the other hand, it could be the reason why they had mine repaired since someone who used pof's unlocker got rejected by s/b to have his x01ht repaired... it's catch 22...
I did
I could unlock ExtROM on X01HT(Upgrade to New ROM=1.33.761.4, Radio ROM=1.14.00.10, Protocol=32.50.7018.00h).
I did as follow's way:
1. simunlock by imei-check unlocker.
2. Burn the Docomo rom.(=already unlocked ExtROM)
3. use pof's unlocker(maybe make device SuperCID)
4. Upgrade rom with RUU_X01HT_1.33.761.4.1.14.00.10
5. Now I can use docomo sim and softbank sim, also can unlock ExtROM.

Just to make this clear... which rom did you have when you ran the imei-check unlocker?
To unlock ExtROM device must be SuperCID, to make it SuperCID device must have a flashable radio, so obviously he was running the rom PRE december 2nd with 1.06 bootloader on it.
thanks pof. that's what i thought but wanted keiuchid to make it clear to everyone as it could confuse some people that it could be done with the post 12/2 rom.

To unlock ExtROM device must be SuperCID, to make it SuperCID device must have a flashable radio, so obviously he was running the rom PRE december 2nd with 1.06 bootloader on it.

Yes, you are right.
excause me , can anyone tell me how to check is it the superCID or not .. ?
@keiuchid' quote ---
I did as follow's way:
1. simunlock by imei-check unlocker.
2. Burn the Docomo rom.(=already unlocked ExtROM)
3. use pof's unlocker(maybe make device SuperCID)
4. Upgrade rom with RUU_X01HT_1.33.761.4.1.14.00.10
5. Now I can use docomo sim and softbank sim, also can unlock ExtROM.s quote:
questions:
on step2- did you get the rom docomo rom from the wiki hermes ROM upgrade link list and what SPL value at the time?
on step4- after the upgrade softbank rom, what is the SPL
on step5- how do you able to use docomo and softbank sim and unlock the extrom - because if you have now the softbank SPL 1.09 and radio rom 1.14, you should not able to unlock your SIM. please explain. thanks in advance.
(may be i'm missing something here)
Please note that keiuchid's X01HT was sold Previous December 2nd, this is the most important, otherwise he could not have done it.

SPL on his original rom was 1.06, then he applied imei-check unlocker, so the SPL downgraded to 1.04. After this he applied the DoCoMo ROM found in the wiki, which has SPL-1.04.

On this step the SPL is upgraded to 1.09, but he purchased imei-check unlocker, so he can downgrade it to 1.04 at any time, by just applying the unlocker.

His X01HT simlock was removed on step 1, and Flashing a ROM does NOT re-lock it. So, once SIM-Unlocked, it's SIM-unlocked forever.
His device was made SuperCID with Herm_Unlock_v2a.exe on step 3, he applied it while running the 1.16 patched radio, so his device will be SuperCID forever.
After this he flashed Softbank's ROM with "read only" radio, now he has a Sim-Unlocked and CID-Unlocked device, where he can switch ROMs and put any provider's SIM to his liking, but he will keep the Softbank 1.14 radio ROM at least until we see any ROM upgrade which is able to overwrite this radio ROM (which is not available yet).
Hope this makes the situation clear to you all
I've been trying to read up as much as I can thru the wiki and through the threads but it seems that theres so many technical posts but no posts covering simple questions, so I thought I'd post some here.
1) I first got my hermes (SPV m3100) in February and unlocked it with (I think) pofs tool at the time, it worked a treat, I think that the tool at the time made it super CID as well as unlocking it. Does this pretty much mean my warranty is void already?
If it does, can I revert back to normal CID? (My Bootloader is 1.04 if this helps)
2) The wiki goes a lot about upgrading but doesn't really cover downgrading - I see there is an Orange English rom - if things dont work properly and I want to revert to original, is this possible? Is there a way to revert back to a rom that will still be valid for warranty (for the UK at least)?
3) Will upgrading radio to latest version or bootloader to oli void warranty?
Sorry I know that a lot of these qs might seem simplistic and have been answered many times but I've been searching and it's quite difficult to just get simple answers!Thanks for your help.
I think that may be an Orange Romania Rom in the wiki.

v1 did not make your device SuperCID. Versions v2 and v2a made your device SuperCID without allowing you to choose, since v3 you could choose if you wanted to SuperCID or not.

Depending on your operator, some operators such as SoftBank will not exchange device under warranty if it is SuperCID, others like Cingular do not check it and exchange the device without problems.

If your device still has htc_boot 0107 and you _really_ need it for warranty reasons contact me. If you have ever flashed a radio with htc_boot 0108 then you can't revert back (at least we don't know how yet).

This is not important anymore, with SSPL you can upgrade & downgrade bootloader versions to your liking.

yes, just flash everything as you had in the original rom, this is not a problem if your original ROM is available as a shipped update, otherwise you'll have to do some work: take the parts that are the same from any other ROM (ipl, spl, splash screens, radio...) take the ExtROM from wiki or copy it from another device if it's not on wiki and reconstruct the OS from a dumped ROM if your shipped OS is not available, check this comment for more info.

Click to expand...

Yes and no: Obviously if you return it for warranty with a radio or a bootloader that was not the one shipped on the phone or an official rom upgrade the operator will possibly deny the warranty for you, but if you are clever enough you will manage to downgrade that and leave it to the original versions you had on your phone.

If you think these obvious answers are missing on the wiki I'd really appreciate if you can edit it and include them
@ pof
Will there be a version of the unlocker with possibility of reverting any changes made?
Thank you for your work

Current unlocker version (v3a) does 4 things:
1. Change your SPL to HardSPL-1.40
2. Change your radio to patched-1.16
3. Remove operator SIM-Lock (Only if you run Herm_Unlock_v3.exe and select this option)
4. Change your CID to SuperCID (Only if you have htc_boot <= 0107 and run Herm_Unlock_v3.exe and select this option)
Out of this you can revert:
1. Flash any SPL version you want using SSPL
2. Change your radio to any version you want, and this is highly recommended as the patched 1.16 is quite an old radio.
3. No one has ever asked me to SIM-Lock again a device to any MSL code, but this is possible, so if you would ever need to SIM-Lock it feel free to PM me and tell me which MSL you want.
4. As I said earlier, set your CID back from a SuperCID is only possible if your htc_boot is 0107, should be possible on newer htc_boot but we don't know yet how.

pof, Can I have the tools to gain back CID?. I still have htc_boot 0107.
I just looked up the Wiki, but did not find anything. I did SUper CID v2a for sim unlocking, but never flashed anything except WM6, but flashed back to T-Mob Vario 2 Germany-Rom. How do I find out which htc_boot-Version I have and how do I change back to CID? I do`nt need SCID, so I`d like to get back CID again!

What is done to make it SuperCID? I would like to set my CID back from a SuperCID, but my htc_boot is 0108. Is it not possible because the htc_boot 0108 cannot be downgraded, and the SuperCID resides within htc_boot? If this is the case, can I just upgrade htc_boot to erase the SuperCID?
@kuekpeow: read point 4 on the reply you quoted again..... changing the CID was only possible on htc_boot 0107, not possible on newer radio bootloaders... upgrading it does not help, and we don't know how to downgrade it yet.
Pof, I'd just like to thank you for your help in this thread! I've managed to successfully upgrade! Cheers!
I'm a real noob with this stuff, but I had to try WM6 Black to see if my issues with the Jasjam (screen locks completely - requiring the battery to be removed for over 10 mins), would be fixed. It is still locking after the upgrade and so I want to take the phone back to be repaired, but I'm worried that the repairers will try stating that the warranty is void because of me changing to WM6. When I try to load the original rom back on (latest supplied by I-Mate), the update starts and then my connection through Activesynch drops out (using USB). I have tried searching for information throughout the forum, but I find it all difficult to find anything on this issue. Can someone please help me with instructions for what to do.
The problem I have is that I bought the phone in Aus, but I am working in China, so I have to make sure everything is squared off before I send the phone back.
Cheers.
I want to CID my device again in case of warranty.
What do I have to do?
mtty says following:
USB>rtask a
Enter Radio Bootloader
0106
and now? what has to be done?
edit: Unlocked with Unlocker V2a, running original T-Mobile-Germany-Rom, no Radio-Upgrade or something in that way, just tried WM6 and flashed back.
No idea? :-(

v3a [03-04-2007] - New RUU will make sure HardSPL-1.40 is installed before flashing the radio
Now the unlocking process is faster & safer

Q: After finishing the process it still asks for unlock code, what should I do?
A: Make sure you have radio version 1.16 and run Herm_Unlock_v3.exe on your phone and select unlock option. If entering any unlock code fails, please repeat the unlocking process again (you did something wrong the first time).

My Radio is 1.38.00.01.. will using this downgrade it to 1.16??, or do I need to pu 1.16 on before using this tool...??
Ot, once it is unlocked, can I simply stick a new radio on it???
Do I alsoneed to have the working orange sim in their.. as if I put the t-mobile sim in, it is just asking for the simlock code...
As ther eis always a chance of bricking your phone, I just want to be sure everything is ok, before I do it..!! I have the offical wm6 rom installed.
Thanks
Anyone...???
So no one has used this to unlock a phone that has HardSPL-2.10, or a later Radio....??? or reflashed their phone after unlocking...???
Once unlocked, does it remain unlocked for good???
PATIENCE....let us answer when we can!!
Your SPL will end up being downgraded to 1.40.olipro......but thats not a problem as you can just flash HardSPL 2.10.olipro again.
Your Radio WILL be downgraded to 1.16 as this is a hacked radio image which allows the SIM/CID to be unlocked.
You really should update the radio once the device is unlocked since there are BIG improvments with the new ones.
ANY SIM card will work in the device once the device is unlocked....the sim pin pad pops up when the SIM card requires the sim pin code. Obviously if you know the pin you can turn this off in phone settings.
Soory for my impatience.. Ive been biting at the bit all day, after my contract ended and waiting over 2 weeks to sort a new deal out... I was so eager to get my handset up and running...!!!
Thanks for your information... I was unsure whether you could simply re-apply the radio and spl after the unlock....
Maybe this info could be added to the sticky.. after reading through the 50 odd pages, there were many such requests, with no answers....
So as I understand, downlograding to the hacked radio simply facilitates the unlocking, rather than providing the unlock, so flashing back up after, and replacing the hacked radio with a genuine one does not reverse the unlock...
Seriously though, this could do with being on the appropriate thread about SIM/Cid unlocking....!!
Discovering this site about a month ago, and what developers and contributors have done has breathed new life into what was already a great little device...
THANK YOU!!
