I was just thinking about the whole IMEI-CHECK website... Is there any way to build a program that based on IMEI, can generate the unlock file for the program used by IMEI-CHECK?
Here is the G4 WIZARD unlock program provided on their website for people to take apart and disect to see if you can figure out how to make a program to generate the unlock file based on IMEI.
I know warez are frowned on here and this is why I only posted the program which can be downloaded here but technically the program is freeware, it's the unlocking service that isn't free and thats what we're trying to fix.
well i guess if it was so easy, people would do it before .
right now i'm flashing with Softspl , and no problems - i'm happy with it ! .
Yes I was using SoftSPL for a few days but since then I got a handset exchange and was gifted with a G3 which got CID unlocked as soon as I put my battery in it.
I am just thinking about it because I used to have a G4 and SoftSPL is simple and almost the exact same thing as stand alone RUU, it even calls the RUU when it is time so it is even the same number of clicks but it just isn't the same thing... I don't have to worry about any of it at all. I can flash happy from one custom rom to the next and never even think twice(is this gonna mess up my phone?) I just don't even have to think about it since even my IPL/SPL can be changed. All available roms are now safe for me to just run the Ruu and be good to go.
I think that is why it would be nice to see a way to permanantly CID unlock so that you COULD change the IPL/SPL and not have to worry about permanently bricking your phone if you accidently flash a rom with the wrong IPL/SPL.
I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from too...
No...
Even with a CID-unlocked G4 (By IMEI-check), flashing a G3 RUU still bricks the device, so it is not related to unlocked or not, it is a matter of G3 or G4 IPL/SPL.
What CID-unlocking in G4 gives is completely the same with SSPL.
Hard SPL for G4 already exists
Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332320
With this 2.21.olipro SPL the fix is permanent (until another SPL is flashed over)

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.

Is there any chance to create hermes noid updater? I mean updater who will no check what CID lock is on device and skip this?
Probably completely misunderstood this from day 1 - but isn't that exactly what Olipro's Hard SPL v7 was designed for? I thought it was designed not to check which CID is on, or whether it's corrupt,etc?
Not exactly. Hard SPL is fake bootloader which run with every rom updater. And I'm talking about fake updater which will work with every bootloader (especialy not hard spl). Same as it was in old pda as himalaya (mda 2), blueangle (mda 3) etc.
Another day, another lesson learned. Thanks Ell82
Hi
I think the main problem is, not the CID check. The reason, why a fake bootloader like HardSPL or SSPL is used is, that the ROM images in .nbh format are digital signed and the booloader checked the valid signature.
HardSPL accepts formally signed code without a valid signature.
That's the reason, why all actual devices used this way.
I may be misunderstanding what you're saying here but...
SSPL will let you flash any ROM to your device. So will HardSPL.
HardSPL ofers a certain limited protection against temporary or permanent bricking.
If you're looking for the easiest way to flash you RUU file to your Hermes, the put in the same folder as 'Faria's RUU Wrapper' - attached to the first post on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316723 - and run exe using SSPL, but not to flash EXTROM or RADIO, just an 'OS-only' upgrade.
The reason I wasn't sure if I'd understood your question was that all cooked ROMs for a good while have come with an SSPL option.
The attached should do the trick though. It just loads SSPL and runs it which puts your device immediately into a kind of fake bootloader which ignores CID but leaves your actual botloader alone.
Look for the threads on SSPL and on OliPro's HardSPL to see the relative advatages/risks. OliPro's HardSPL is safer, SSPL easier in my opinion, but you should only really use SSPL to load OS or Splashscreens.
Yes, there is litle misunderstanding. I know there is SSPL and what it's do. The reason I was asking about updater with no id is there is a lot of bricked hermes stoping on windows mobile boot screen and not allowing any update on bootloader becosue their not cid unlocked and don't have hard spl. I have device like this, with bootloader 1.09 and looking for any possibility to flash it and unbrick it. There is no way to put sspl to device which not boot to os and which is not cid unlocked and have bootloader 1.09. Or maybe I missed something.

I had SPL 1.09, corrupt CID, and stuck in windows screen after I mistakenly tried to flash a rom which had a lower radio bootloader, it bricked my device, and I didn't have KITL either...
I sent mine to imei-check. com and they did a JTAG flash which brought it back to life, and there is zero sign that this device was ever bricked.
At what cost? I think they have other way to unbrick devices then jtag.

I got this from imei-check:
Prices for fixing:
If the device been unlocked before by imei-check.co.uk (we will check the database for the imei of your handset) price is 20 GBP
If the device been unlocked before by cracked/cloned solution and user confirm this, price is: 60 GBP
If the device been unlocked before by cracked/cloned solution and user lie about it (we can easy detect it) price is: 100 GBP
If the device never been unlocked price is: 40 GBP.
To this prices need to add the delivery costs.

I have been reading all across the forums how to CID unlock, upgrade etc. However, I am not able to find the ways to do seeminly essential homework before trying to upgrade. These for me are:-
* Finding a way to completely backup all the stuff from original tytn. Like ROM, SPL, IPL, Radio, CIDlock etc. I feel that this is important as if ever I feel like going to the tried old one I should be able to and to preserve the warranty also. Also, the method to roll back if needed. This should be covering re CID locking the phone etc.
It makes sense to create a way to bring the phone to its completlely original shape if we need it
Thanks

You do not need to back up your spl, ipl, etc. because if you need to roll back you can just reflash them on, and they can be found around here and in the wiki.
You cannot un-CIDunlock, but if you use hardspl v7 it will "trick" your phone into thinking it is (when in reality it isnt) so that you do not have to actually unlock it. If you ever need to send it in you can just flash the old spl over it.

HardSPL does not CID unlock. pof's Free Unlocker (a sticky thread) does the SIM and CID unlocking. HardSPL is a new set of bootloaders allowing upgrade utilities to access and read/write to the phone. The most important aspect of this (besides bypassing the CID check) is the security - it has some overwrite protection built in to prevent you from accidentally corrupting the bootloader area, rendering your phone a brick. HardSPL is a safety measure.
If you check THE WIKI here on xda for the Hermes, you will find some stuff on extracting. It is most probable that it will be FAR easier to find new versions of everything you have, rather than trying to back up and restore. The wiki contains MANY shipped ROMs to allow you to restore back to basically the original condition. LOOK HERE for MW5 shipped ROMs and LOOK HERE for WM6 shipped ROMs.

Thanks a lot for the reply, I appreciate the time you spent in expaining this to me and providing these links.
I was wondering if HARDSPL is like shelltool where it will only allow upgrade or flashing of OS part. So, once I use the HARDSPL and flash say HTC official WM6 release or Dopod WM6, will I be ableto to get the bundled radio and SPL and IPL upgrades from these ROMS? and if yes then will HARDSPL get replaced by these SPLs and IPLs built into the ROMS? One more thing, will an upgrade like that can brick the phone as if I rum the official ROM it will try to upgrade the SPL and IPL (I am not sure).
What is the preferred way of upgrading ? unlocking CID by the tool or HARDSPL ?
I have read somewhere that lockwiz tool used for Wizard can save CID also and some tool and put it back also but I dont know how and if the same tool can do it for hermes?
Regards,
Alber

Most cooked roms are os only, but a few have a radio, etc. included. If its os only, flashing will only change the os. You can separately flash radio.
Hardspl is the best because its reversible. Well thats not the best word to describe it....id say because its not permanent. But u know what i mean

Mcorrie1121 is right. I will add a couple of things.
1. HardSPL is not *necessary* for flashing anything, it only makes it safer and allows you to flash ROMs with CIDs that do not match your device without CID unlocking. Your ROM is basically a few parts - OS, Radio, IPL, SPL, ExtROM, MainSplash and SubSplash. The HardSPL will replace the SPL only. Most non-carrier ROM releases are OS only. Most carrier ROMs (as you pointed out) have ALL of these things. As Mcorrie1121 pointed out, you can easily find a radio - check the wiki, search, etc.
2. Once you have upgraded to a cooked ROM (and HardSPL), you will still be able to upgrade to a Shipped Official ROM. You may need to "unpack" it and use the CustomRUU instead of the shipped updater. That is OK though.
3. HardSPL will not allow overwriting of the IPL/SPL except by another HardSPL (see mrvanx.org downgrade guides). You will not have a problem. It will keep your bootloader zone safe.
4. I don't think there is a preferred way. Some people unlock CID, others do not. There is no reason to *not* unlock it, unless you plan to send it back - and I have never heard of someone getting service rejected for this reason. Wring ROM, yes. CID unlocked, no. That said, maybe try without CID unlocking first and then if you find you need to do it for some reason, then do it. You really do not have to do it, since the Custom Updater bypasses the CID check anyway.
5. Regarding the 0108 Radio BL issue, don't worry much about that - it is an old problem. Just don't go below whatever version you have now.

Dear, please help me with one thing-I am terribly confused about the procedure to upgrade my JASJAM to WM6. I understand that one way is to CIS unlock it and install on it the official and dopod releases of WM6. I wanted to know how can I do the same using the HARDspl. I know that I can install the HARDSPL but after that what ??? Can I then run the offcial RUU from HTC or Dopod or I am supposed to do it some other way as I am afraid that it may contain the SPL and IPL and can break by phone OR I have to use some customRUU (I dont know) OR I am supposed to extract the OS from these official releases (I dont know how) OR ..
Can you please clear these confusion??
I have:-
* I-Mate JASJAM, CID locked i suppose as when I run official HTC or dopod it says this update utility is not for this
*I really wanted to save my devices complete state and a way to revert it to the way it was like SPL, IPL, OS, Radio, CID lock etc.

There are upgrade guides there and guides to put it back the way it was (OS, Radio, IPL, SPL, MainSplash and SubSplash) - it is all covered.
The upgrade guides will get you through the upgrade process. The only thing you need to do after that to use an official upgrade is to unrar (using winrar or something) the executable file and take the nbh and us it with the CustomRUU, which can be found HERE .
Question is in the poll. I am wandering, what do You think about CID Unlocking on G4?
CID Unlocking on G4?
First,its highly inappropriate Poll,its determined/confirmed that a G4 device cannot be CID unlocked permanently like a G3 device,All other methods are just work arounds to make think (Trick) a G4 device that its CID unlocked SuperCID.
It may be tricked to believe its SuperCID for once with 'SoftSPL' for use in single flash,it reverts back to CID locked as soon as it reboots the device and original official Bootloaders (IPL/SPL) are loaded back or semi_permanent method through 'HardSPL' ,where patched IPL/SPL are flashed to make the Bootloaders temporarily SuperCID,but infact,in actual the device always remains CID locked.Both the methods, SoftSPL and HardSPL are just temporary work arounds.
There are Pros & Cons for both,its everyone's personal preferences,how he wud like to go about it.
I wudn't personally vote for which is better or not !!!
I know facts about G4 CID can not be unlocked, therefore I am wondering which one of following lame methods You prefere to do...
Hi all
I recently had my TP sent in for repair for a defective lcd and navi panel, whilst testing they also found it necessary to replace the mainboard aswell.
After booting into teh bootloader the screen has the following information on it:
Raph100
SPL-5.05.000
MicroP-Raph (LED) v13
MicroP-Raph (KEY) v5
PSOC-Raph STAGE_CVT v0x36
PCBID 0x80
RID 0x0
I cant see any mention of the ipl version!
before i had it repaired, the bootloader would say
IPL-1.90.0000
or something along those lines
does anyone know why this is? also, would it be safe for me to flash the hardspl?
many thanks
Not strange. Do you by chance have a nbh file on the SD Card?
Or it may have bee security unlocked for the repairs & left that way.
Hi there
No NBH files on the SD card,
I was just a little wary of flashing anything to it and then it just messing up!
if you could tell me how to make a dump of the rom i'd be happy to upload it somewhere for you if its any good to you
i originally got wm6 for the htc tornado, so im a little familiar but thats with the old process!
cheers
come on, someone must have an idea?!
just do a search on how to dump your flash..
hopefully there's some interesting stuff on there
ie. new, improved and updated drivers
HTC just released rom updates, so Why a dump?
BTW, Mine always has that Data. I think you are confussing this with the Tornado. The HTC devices have NOT shown you any "IPL" info in a long time. Welcome to 2009. Only SPL info is shown in the BL screen. 100% positive.
BTW, Is this CDMA or GSM device? Don't flash anything until you unlock it & use the Olinex unlocker. You CANNOT unlok or flash with JumpSPL like the old days, so forget most of what you knew & start reading.
its a GSM HTC Touch Pro
previously, all i did was flash the hardspl and flash away, didnt bother with unlocking or anything as the device is already sim unlocked
Yes, but if u want to change radios ever, you need to be unlocked. Not sim-unlocked, security unlocked.
This is way different than a tornado.

My good man, I've been using the Raphael since october 2008 and have flashed many radios/roms
i understand the handset needs to be security unlocked should i want to flash a radio from a different device (experia/diamond/hd etc)
was just wanting to make sure htc didnt accidently send me something weird which might screw up should i attempt to hardspl
many thanks for your input
