Done that with lokwiz but how do you know if it worked. I tried to flash to wm6 again, it got to 100% and booted back into wm5. I know something has changed cause the initial startup screens before you get to the wm screen has changed. Please help.
Go to Start> Settings > System> About.
Mine is Windows mobile 6 professional
Mine phone is also cid-locked. U can flash ur cid-locked g4 with shelltool.But be carefull with picking a rom, it musnt include ipl/spl and must be for g4 devices. NBD 8.3 works perfect on locked g4s.
Please read all sticky treads about G4 adn upgradin, cause u can brick ur phone > u can literally throw it away.
Thanks but where can I get shelltool from? I have googled it and I'm not sure on the results.
when you google for it, be site specific for this site, like so:
google search for...
site:http://forum.xda-developers.com shelltool
if that doesn't work you can always browse the forum! I bet one of those "THIS IS HOW TO FLAS H TO A G4 READ FIRST" sticky posts have the information you are looking for.
on that note, a collaboration of people with some time on their hands could revamp the wizard wiki pages, because I'd rather read the concrete information on there than scroll through several threads and posts! i'm going to start gathering information, will any of you extensive-knowledge people join me?

can anyone tell me where to find a Matching upgrade ROM for my Orange SPV M3100(other than orange roms) xda download page doesn't work i think!
and can my device be updated to WM6 someday(future)?
thnx
There are at this time no ROM matching the Orang CID. But you may be able to flash your device with any rom available on the wiki page; just keep in mind that you will not be able to go back to an orange rom, as there are none available yet. Take also good care with rom having a bootloader greater or equal 1.06; once you flashed your device with one of those you won't be able to flash with anything else but an orange ROM !
There are lot of infos about all that issue on this board, a wizely use of the search tool can give you plenty of infos

Unless he uses V3 of the IMEI-CHECK unlocker as it makes his CID=SuperCID and his SECLEVEL=0. So he could then load any ROM he wants and downgrade from 1.06 when he wants.
yes i used imei check unlocker but dont know which 'V' ws it. anyway i searched all da forum and da wiki,got som link and they were BAD i mean they didnt work.
so this ftp links are no good for me (at least for now i think).coz of that i need a different url to download the rom(s)
thnx fun & jokinawa
You were not at the right place.
Here are all the available roms: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
If you want to be sure to have a super CID device, just reapply the imei tool with the the latest unlocker.
plus i have the 1.04 bootloader so i think i dont wanna care about the Orange CID,and the main problem is the links in the wiki doesnt work!!!!i was at the right place but after clicking DOWNLOAD link it takes long time to response and browser returns an error massege,
and can you me help with this upgrading thing after i get the rom somhow?

If you look at the IMEI-Check program it has the "V" in the name. Mine is M3100v3cUnlock.exe. That is a Version 3 flasher.
Hope that helps.
V2
My unlocker was V2,so does that mean i cant upgrade my rom after the bootloader is 1.06?how can i make my device Super CID?and where can i find a AKU 3.0 updated WM5 ROM?
My T mobile branded Vario II fell off my lap yesterday (in its case) Theres not a scratch on it and its only 4months old. Later on i had loads of missed calls and then realised it wont ring or vibrate or play mp3's.
Im currently running one of HTC's Roms, SPL-1.09 is my bootloader and im not sure how to reflash with the original T-mobile rom before i head back to the shop to see about a replacement
I keep getting a invalid vendor id, and from reading posts on the forums i know i need to do something with the cid so i can flash back down to the original rom.But im getting confused between a super cid and a cid? as what ive found below just mentions cid and not super cid.
Is this the file i need? HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a ? i just run the .bat file then install the orginal t mobile rom as normal?
What im basically asking is the above right to ahead with? as i just need some reassurance as if i cant blag one under warranty then ill have to use my insurance which as its my second claim in 6 months has a excess of £60
Yes i have looked on the forums for hours but cant see any info.
Thanks in advance should anyone help
EDIT well ive run the unlocker and supercid'd it but it still wont let me flash with the original t mobile rom?
ERROR:260 Update Error
im getting the above error?
Is all I will say is click on the mrvanx guide in my signature.

thanks guys i will try the above. if not i think ill "loose" the phone
Hi Gavin01,
Good luck with the downgrade - I'd be interested to know how it goes. I also have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II, and so far I've put HardSPL 7 and Radio ROM 1.41 onto it. I'm just trying to decide which WM6 ROM I want to try out
Anyway, I have at the back of my mind that I don't really know how to downgrade it in the case of a warranty claim. The MrVanx guide to downgrading WM5 looks ok, but I'd love to know how to put the radio rom back (I guess this would just be the reverse of the upgrade), but then finally taking taking HardSPL off. In fact I'd vote for a guide on it - would write it myself but I have to confess I'm rather a newbie to the world of HTC upgrades....
Cheers,
sparky
I have the same problem
I´d like to downgrade to original softbank settings. But they only accept warranty issues if you have the original cid? , right?
So putting the old rom back on is not my problem, "un-super-cid" it is.
I need help please too
Hello,
please excuse, but i have a question and i will not open a new threat.
I use tytn. I have installed the Radio Version 1.40 and the Black 3.01 Rom. I have used HardSPL and when i go into the bootloader i have Herm200 IPL 1.04 and Herm200 SPL 2.10 OliPro. My question is: it is not possible to go back to wm5 with the installer RUU Hermes 1.18....-Qtek_Ger_Ship. Because in this installer is a Radio Rom. When i will use it, i lost my Radio and i have No GSM. The only way to go back is with MrVanx Hermes downgrade guide. Is this correctness ??
( This is what i think after using the help-function and the wiki )
When this is right, so Please Please, can a specialist please build a litte .exe-File so that i can make a downgrade to my mw5? Sorry, i am not idle, i am not able to to this. And please excuse my english. I will say say thank you very very much for your helping. With the best regards from Berlin say Christian
Hello!
I'm very unsure how I can update my G4 CID looked.
1. Which updateway is recommendable?
2. Can I use all Prophet Roms?
greetz Ben
Can everybody help me please?
I'm still waiting for an answer!
look in the xda-wiki ... you found the right discription.
Not Realy! I have read the wiki and all usefull threads 2 days before!
1. There are different updateways in different foren, threads and wikis and all are for G3. Some users, which have a G4 model write that you have to notice a few points, but the answers are not very clearly.
2. In the german XDA forum they tell me that I can use every prophet rom! BUT: In the wiki is written that the G3 and G4 devices have different hardware! So it is very illegitimate that I can use the same rom!
Please help me! In my statement you can see that I'm very careful because I don't want to brick it!
no you haven't,as i see !
Do you think that I'm lying? Maybe I'm blind or stupid!
1. I don't want that you tell me the updateway. A link to the tutorial which you use / would use will be ok!
2. I can see that you has a normal prophet rom. So I think that the answer is YES?
I've got the same problem. This forum is great, no doubt, but it's a MESS. I couldn't find a clear answer regarding flashing a CID LOCKED G4 Prophet.
Can I flash radio roms ? What about extrom ? Can I just flash Gullums Touch VII right away after flashing NVID rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310452 ? Can I even flash this NVID rom to CID LOCKED G4 ?
Lots of questions and for every one I can find 20 different answers, so I'm pretty confused. Maybe someone with the patience can clarify all of that, we don't want to brick our precious Prophets.
Juhuu! A further confused man!
So let's collect our incomplete knowledge together!
I read about a tool, shelltool with it you can update a CID locked device!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480
I'm reading the full thread at the moment!
My rom question is still open! If I find an answer I update my device with the shelltool!
greetz Ben
OK i see your Problem!
You can Flash all Roms with the NVID Flashtool. You can only Flash Roms with this tool, if no IPL and SPL is included! WM6 Roms use too ways to Flash it. Read the Threads about this WM6 Roms ... you need only to start the Update.bat or simulare bat file ... possible a NVID Flashtool. Some Roms have two bat files for G3 or G4 Device. Use the right! Radio Roms use everytime the NVID Flashtool and work everytime with locked devices.
You dont need the Shelltool way ... this is more Hardcore for develope.
Tank you very much for your answer!
In fact:
-I can flash every prophet rom which has a G4 bat?!
-I can flash every prophet Rom which has no IPL, SPL with NVID flashtool?
My G4 runs WM6 now!
After again 5 hours investigation I know that you CAN'T kill your device with the prophet roms! When all people say "the device is bricked" they don't mean that nothing happens! They say "bricked" if the ppc stuck on the SPL/ISP screen or the bootloader. And both can be fixed with a RUU update like Prophet_PV_Temp or the original O2 rom!
Frtzrwk:
I upgraded to PDAVIET Touch 4.0.0.6!
You can get the link to both RARs in the thread.
First: Prophet_PV_Temp
For Up/Downgrading to Aku 2.2 (WM5)
Second: PV_4.0.0.0.6_Touch
The Real WM6 Rom
-Download and extract!
-Start "ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4", which install Aku2.2
#wait 10 minutes, your ppc restart automatically
-After the PPC is fully started, you install first "Cert_SPCS" and then "EnableRapi" (you can find the two files in PV_4.0.0.0.6_Touch)
#wait 1 minute and restart your device
-Now you can update your Rom with "Upgrade_Rom"
#wait ~15 minutes
-Hardreset your device! IMPORTANT!!!
Welcome to your new WM6 installation!
If your device stuck at the ISP/SPL screen (loading more than ~5 minutes), go into bootloader (camera + reset) and start again with upgrading to Aku2.2

The answer was for Frtzrwk because he is confused too!
So shut the **** up...
I don't think so! Were is written in the f**k wiki that I can use ALL prophet roms!
There is olny one information about G4:
It is not possible to upgrade from a G3 model to a G4 model through software, as the DOC is a piece of Hardware.

So the hardware is not the same!
And by the way: I hate rapidshare... test the links!

Ok here I come to save the day... The reason you are getting that error message is because you have a locked G4. From what you have said already, It sounds like you have T-Mobile and unfortunately, due to DOC right protection on all of our devices, you need to perform some kind of unlock on your device or work around it. I believe that G4 CID unlocking has been almost perfected but I can tell you 2 other ways to flash your device.
On the grander scale, here are all 3 known ways to flash your G4 device.
First and formost, shelltools is a very common and most heavily used way to flash a G4 device. It extracts the OS from the Rom and then flashes it to your device and afterwards, you need to hard reset your device and what do you know, you have WM6.
The second way to flash a Rom to a G4 device is to use SoftSPL. SoftSPL temporarily patches the CID on your device to think it is CID unlocked and allows you to flash a new Rom to the device as if it were in fact permanently unlocked but this is only a one time go. Each time you want to change Roms, you have to flash back to your carriers official Rom and then run SoftSPL again with the new Rom of your choice.
Third and finally, I mentioned above that they have managed to permanently CID unlock G4 devices but I am not sure if they managed to perfect it yet. I also have not tried this method before because I had to have a handset exchange and ended up with a G3.
Don't take this personally, but you really need to do alot of reading before you dive into the world of Rom flashers because from the sounds of what you wrote above, you don't know enough about flashing Roms yet and that makes it really hard. Trust me, I was in your shoes before.
Just hang out in the G4 forum for a while and read as much as you can and when you feel comfortable with what you are about to do, then give it a try. I really don't want to see you screw up your phone and brick it, but I do want to see you succeed in the Rom flashing world so for your own sake, read up. Here are just a few threads that you really should check out before trying to so something you're not sure about.

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!.
