I'm quite new to wizard but I have a little question. How can I check whether I have cid lock or not? Since when I was buying my wizard they sim-unlocked it and they could potentialy unlock the cid but I don't know if they did this. Mine is G4 standard Orange Aku 2.2 (SPV M3000).

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.
1 only try to upgrade your wizard with a non compatible rom example you had a qtek you try to update with a t-mobile rom if it works is a g4 unlocked if not is a locked g4
2.-you need a unlocked g4 or g3 for imei change
3.-lockwiz v.3 works only for g4 search in the wiki lockwiz for g4 prophet charmer and wizard unlock repeat sim unlock
for a cid unlock yo need bought the imei-check.com key file (why htc use the damm g4 doc??)

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've got an 'old' mda vario 2, which i unlocked using pof's cid and simunlock tool. i want to upgrade to a new WM6 rom (either the tmobile or htc wm6 rom), and for that i may or may not need to be cid unlocked. the most important is, that i stay sim unlocked.
so if i upgrade to the stock shipped WM6 (dutch) tmobile rom, i off course do not need to be cid unlocked (only if i want to upgrade to the WM6 htc rom, which in the end i prefer!!!).
but i've been reading around, and there are radio roms around that when the device is upgrades with that particular rom, the device becomes simunlocked again to that provider (in my case maybe Tmobile) without any hope of simunlocking it again. The devices i'm talking about are the X01HT devices with radio 1.14.01.10.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665&highlight=cid+unlock
so here my question, i know for a fact (or i think i do since it is a pre 2007 mda vario 2) that i do not have an X01HT device. but after i upgrade to the orginal WM6 rom (either the tmobile rom or the HTC rom) will the radio rom in the new original tmobile rom simlock the device again (and thus putting the unlockable 1.14.01.10 radio rom on it)?
Or is this only the case for X01HT devices with radio 1.14.01.10 (since the radio roms of these devices cannot be up or downgraded).
any help is appreciated
Use HardSPL - this will idiot-proof keep your device unlocked / safe for most failures if you follow the instructions in the forum and in the WIKI exactly.
The X01HT is a version of the HTC HERMES especially made and rebranded for SOFTBANK (just another company riding on HTC's back ). Your T-Mobile Vario II is not a SOFTBANK!
Read the HERMES section in the WIKI it covers nearly everything, even SIM lock / CID lock. If there are some things in the WIKI which you can't understand just come back here and post your questions ...
Hi, i am new to the HTC hermes phone and would like to ask if there is a way to check the phone is CID locked or not. many thx

If it is brand new, and bought from an O2 supplier....it is CID locked.....but it makes very little difference now anyway. SuperCID was only particularly useful back when we didnt have CustomRUUs and HardSPL.
The only benefit of unlocking CID now is to easily access the ExtROM, which isnt that good anyway.
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 ??
