1-Guys I just bought a used G4 wizard with unlocked SIM. However I don't know if it is CID unlocked!! Is there any way to find out if it is or not?
2-And one more question for all XDA's flashing gurus :
Did any come close to unlocking a G4 (beside the 30 pounds unlocker? [edit]:in other words imei-check.com)
uh I have an unlocked G4.. I did it through imei-check.com though...

1. it is most likely CID locked, you can try to flash a custom rom and see if it takes but make sure it doesn't include IPL/SPL. Or you can just flash with the shelltool and not worry about it.
2. no, the G4 unlocking process was never completed (at least as far as I have read) the only known way to CID unlock was to pay IMEI-Unlockers to get it done.
I see...Thanks anyways Zzan!

Hi gang, I haven't had my ameo for more than a week, bought it brand new and unlocked on ebay from the u.k (I'm in Australia) so far it's working great, but I don't like some of the t-mobile specific stuff. is it possible (after doing MUCH reading to make sure I know all the possibilities) to use a dopod or htc rom reasonably safely?
Thanks for all replies.
hi there are 2 locks here 1) sim unlock (this is unlocked) and 2) cid unlock (still cannot be unock)
sim unlock enable to use various carrier while cid unlock enable to flash various roms.
so in this case i'm afraid that you will not be able to flash to other rom
hope this explains
cheers
At least not be able to flash to other ROM until the CID unlock is developed for the phone. It'll come soon.

Guys I just bought new imate kjam with no simcard
i can use any simcard availble in india with no network issue. However I don't know if it is CID unlocked!! Is there any way to find out if it is or not?
my kjam specificationis
ipl=2.16.0001
spl=2.16.0001
gsm=02.07.10
os=2.16.9.1
DOES IT MEAN THAT MY DEVICE IS "G4" DEVICE & IS UNLOCKED?
Dhawal ,
There are 2 kinds of Lock to a PPC
first is Simlock or Network Lock ( which is easy to break )
2nd is CID Lock Which is Country id lock. which can be broken for G3 Chips but for G4 Its hard.. as i hear from the ppl.
as i said CID Lock means Country ID lock . Means if you buy phone..of UK Operator lets O2 Xda Mini s , SO u will not be able to use Rom from any other Country lets say.. any rom from france or US.. coz your device is CID LOCK to UK it will not let it flash any other rom than one for UK . But there are ways to get around it....
I have CID Lock G4 Device.... and i m running faria wm6 rom on it..
Hope this clear your doubt a little..
cheers

Yes Your Device is Definetely G4 But I am not sure abt if its CID Unlocked. and i don;t think looking at the given info anybody can find out if the device is CID unlocked...
My suggestion... Don;t worry about... CID LOCK...... but just make sure.. whatever rom u put.. that support CID locked devices...
and Always have your Base rom with you before u flash any rom...
just incase u screw up anything.. so u can u the base rom to go back..
yeah thats right what you says but how do you guys came to know wheter ur pda was cidlocked or not?
what is the test for it?
thats it i want To know HOW TO CHECK WHETER PHONE IS CIDLOCKED OR NOT

Rule of thumb is if you personally did not CID unlock the device then it is still CID locked.
You are most likely SIM unlocked which will allow you to use any valid sim card in the phone, which is what you described in post 2.
You can try to flash a rom and if the OS doesn't update even though the flash said it was finished then you are CID locked. Just make sure you are flashing a G4 safe rom since your device is a G4. DO NOT flash a rom that contains IPL/SPL.
You can CID unlock through the imei unlockers website for a cost. Or you can try the shelltool flash method. It's up to you but you should read the G4 forums for information from people that have used these systems for their take on how to do it, how well it worked.

IS IT TRUE ?
ON IMEI CHECK WEBSITE WICH SECTION SHOULD I GOTO IN ORDER TO VERIFY?
If you dont know ... is your device locked or not ... try to flash a german or spanish rom from any provider :->
Its true ... all device you buy are CID locked.

I think you have to cool down and stop using such big letters.Doesn't help the thread and you'll probably end flamed by someone.
Anyone who wants to know if his/her device is CID locked just needs to get my tool (check signature) and read the CID status
cheers
Is there any way to downgrade my T-Mobile MDA from a 2.26.0001 G4 to a G3 Device? I would like to CID unlock my MDA but the only method I have found thus far is to unlock a G3 and one rather expensive way to unlock a G4 and to be completely and totally honest with all of you, I'm flat broke and can't pay so if there is any way to downgrade to a G3 so I can CID unlock, please let me know.
Thanks.
I'm sorry to inform you but there is no free method of CID unlocking your G4 device. Furthermore there is no cheap way to convert a G4 to a G3.

That really sucks... I really want to be able to flash any rom instead of just operating system. I would do anything within the "free" price range to do it too...
Stay tuned in the forum. There should be a method on cracking SPL just like the Elf later.
I used the unlocker to unlock the sim only. Can I upgrade tothe offical WM6 from the HTC site for AT&T without any problems? Or is there a chance of bricking the device?
Thanks

There is always a change to brick a device when flashing it. 'Tis the nature of the beast.
However, there is a way to greatly reduce the chances of bricking your hermes, and that is to install HardSPL.
Check this post out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Make sure to read the wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes) and by the phone deities, don't try to flash your phone without HardSPL installed!
As for your question, if you have an AT&T branded phone, you should be able to flash it to the AT&T release. If you don't have an AT&T phone, you won't be able to, unless you make the phone SuperCID (which HardSPL will do).
If you are using AT&T, I hear good things about vp3g's ROM, available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313392.
Mr. Vanx also has a really good guide at http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/, covering many flashing questions.
Now, go forth and read!

You don't need to CID unlock but you do need to install Hard-SPL. Then you can flash any ROM you like. Try reading the wiki and read the forums about flashing before you flash for the first time.
The sticky posts on the Forums often cover the basics.

hooold it! before you make a big mistake.
* ALWAYS use hard spl!
* use any rom that you like
* update it...and that's all
you don't use CID lock unless you are 100% sure of what you're doing! when you're device is CID unlocked there is no way back!
(a pain in the *ss with warrenty issues)
Is there are way to know if your phone is already CID unlock or not?
Cuz i bought my phone with a custom rom in it already... so i know that it has been HardSPL already, but i don't know if they had unlock the security/CID or not...
Thanks for the help,

Pretty sure error 262 is vendor ID check which means your not Hard-SPL or CID unlocked i'd advise you take some time to read the stickys at the top of forum before going any further...
