why didn't you ask cingular when you called them??
i suppose if you insert a sim card from another company, a device will ask you for an unlock code.
Unlock Procedure
On devices I've used in the past:
Insert non-Cingular SIM into the device
Turn on device
Enter code when asked for it
Use unlocked device
If you don't have a non-Cingular SIM you wish to use you'll gain nothing from unlocking the device.

Thanks for the help
I called cingular and I got the same instructions that KOGIR posted So that should work.

I travel a lot internationally for work...does this mean you have to enter this code with each sim card?.
I know on my samsung t809...there are a unique sequence of buttons you enter to get into the maintance screen...this will unlock permanently.
Anyone has the free unlocker for the 3125 yet? Can you share it?
This has taken pretty long.
Thanks

You have to pay to get the phone carrier unlocked as there isn't a solution at the moment similar to the one created for the HTC Wizard...

Application unlocking so you can flash the ROM has been covered a couple of times (see response #2)

Good luck
you don't have to pay to cid unlock the phone... search this forum, or spv-dev's forum....
it's easy,
but, so you know, the files will be extracted to the folder specified in the cmd window (not necessarily the same folder were the itsmeutils are)
sim unlock is around too, but i don't have another sim to test it with
I have done cid unlock and it works fine. But, the phone is still sim locked.
Hi all,

There's only one way to do an actual CID unlock on a G4, and that's to pay these guys to do it for you http://www.imei-check.co.uk. But, if you just want to flash various ROMS on it, then you don't need to unlock it. Just check out the first thread in this forum and the wiki.

I understand that there is not a free way to CID unlock a G4 device, but the question is, is there a way to just SIM Unlock it so you can use it with a different carrier? I understood CID unlock and SIM unlock is not the same.

That's right, CID and SIM unlocking are different. If you want to SIM unlock your phone, the only option is to pay that same company I mentioned. There is no free way to SIM unlock your phone still.

Yes, the lokiwiz program worked for me to SIM unlock my 8125 G4. I can't remember the details-- I vaguely recall that version 02b worked better than the 03 version. But yes, it works for SIM unlocking a G4.

Just be sure NOT to flash the button rom or any other "FULL" rom that contains IPL/SPL or you will ruin your device. It is not advisable to follow G3 instructions for your G4 device for this reason.
But, then again I am sure you already knew this because you read the wiki and the stickies right
Sim Unlocking a G4 8125
No disrespect to any of the developers here who have done shiploads of brilliant work to unlock the 8125's et al. Sadly though when reading you have to take a geat deal of care and read a lot of stuff to try to figure out what to really do because it would seem there is loads of half truth and uninformed comment being passed off as fact.
Having read 100's of posts here I launched into the SIM unlocking process and found that on my G4 8125 Phone that Lokiwiz version 0.2 threw errors and did not seem to successfully SIM unlock the phone.
So I moved up to LokiWiz 0.3a which contains LokiWizMSL.exe 845,932 Bytes. This package on my G4 Cingular 8125 running 2.25.0001 IPL and SPL, OS 2.25.11.1 and successfully unlocked the phone. When you run Lokiwiz look for the lines:
SIMLock Code is your code... Type it with another SIM in...
--------------------
Lock Status: 0100000000000000
SIMLock Code: 926***** <==== 8 Digit number
Write down the SimLock Code you need this number.
The one confusing thing is that is now totally obvious is that after you run Lokiwiz you need to swap to a SIM card from another provider to enter the code when the phone reboots, in my case I borrowed a workmates U.S. TMobile SIM Card and when the phone booted up it asked for the code that I generated above. Once that is entered your G4 phone is SIM Unlocked.
This part ain't that hard it is nerve wracking for us noobs tho.
Huge thanks to everyone whose work contributed to these tools, next chance I get I have you nominated for God.
Now I'm on to CID unlocking my phone to get WM6 and Touchflo on it. I suspect several more days reading will be required.
Phil
Unlocked Cingular 8125 G4
Thanks for the guidance.
Just installed Lokiwiz03a, ran the batch file, swapped cards, and put in the new code. Everything worked perfectly.
Thank you everyone for the software and tutorials.
YES lokiwiz03a worked flawlessly for my wizard G4 too, Now i have sim unlocked my phone, is CID unlocking same as making the device Super CID?
Easier Than Cutting Warm Butter
actually it is so simple and by the way : HERE IS A HINT:
I DID INSTALL THE ENABLERAPID.CAB AND CERT_SPCS.CAB LOCATED IN THE UTILS INFO.. AFTER I SWICHED THE SIM CARD REBOOT THE PHONE AND RUN THE lokiwiz03a.exe IT GAVE ME THE CODE.. I DIDNT HAD TO SWAP SIMS.. AND WOALA....
IT WORKS EASIER THAN MOST EXPECTED THINGS...
STOP PAYING $40 DOLARS TO UNLOCK THIS THINGS.. THESE IS A VERY NOOB GUIDE..
I AM ATTACHING THE RAPID.CAB
NOW I AM INTO MAKING MY CINGULAR 8125 WM6..
ANYSUGGESTIONS
Congratulations Phil!, I hope you find the way to CID-Unlock ours Cingular 8125.
I'll be readingo this post for future results.

Does anyone know if there has been any new developments on a free method of CID unlocking a G4?
I have tried the methid mentioned earlier, I get my 9 digit number, swap the sim to a locked network, enter the 9 digit number when asked, and it seems to unlock the phone, but as soon as it tried to register on the network I am presented with the network is locked screen again.....Unless I turn the phone to flight mode and then of course it all works fine (except the phone ) any ideas why this might be?
Syngress
This works
I would like to just say how grateful i am to everyone working so hard to make all our G4 wizard users' lifes a little easier. THANKS AGAIN.
Im wondering what I need to do to get the TouchFlo on my G4 Wizard without risking bricking it (i have enough horror stories to not want this to happen). So anyone with advice id very much appreciate it or links on where i can download it.
Thanks

Today, I used Lokiwiz 03a. I ran it and it unlocked my Cingular G4 8125. I am now using it on T-Mobile. I works. Plain and simple.

is anyone from xda-dev working on G4 simlock unlocking?
Is there any BOX ( I saw service boxes for smartphones like JAFWM, it says it can also unlock wizard but I don't know if this info is about G4 wizard)?
I know about IMEI-CHECK. Now I just can't pay for it. I live outside of GB.
Polish PAYPAL really sucks

Lokiwiz will unlock G3 AND G4 wizards.
So...
I've tryed it.
I'm running lokiwiz on good simcard (i have polish orange simlock so Insert Orange PL SIM). It gives me code.
Then Im inserting my card (I have Plus GSM) and phone says "network is locked insert code (or somethink like that, I dont remember it now)
So Im entering unlock code from Lokiwiz. After pressing "Unlock" I see today screen. After 5 seconds it goes back to unlock code screen.
Am I doing something wrong?
IPL: 2.21.001
SPL 2.21.olip
GSM:02.71.11
Simlock: Polish Orange.
I've tryed diffrent ROMS like TNT, NBD , Polish Official wm 5 from orange.
Hard Reset is not working also.
All the time the same problem ;-)
As you see phone has hardSPL

Hi,
SIM Unlocking is handled in Odia's SIM Unlock thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064978
The easiest way is to use Chainfire's "Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock" app.
You can use the following code to check if your device is locked:
*#7465625#
In my case it had only the first "network" lock.
Unfortunately the "Unlock" code provided by the app did not work and the message was "unsuccessful".
Thus I have put the "Unfreeze" code and the message was "unsuccessful" too.
Finally I have put the "Unlock" code again and now the message was "successful".
It looks like some carriers "freeze" their device beforehand, so that "Unfreeze" and "Unlock" codes are necessary.
Happy unlocking.
if you can get the unlock and unfreeze codes THIS WORKS A TREAT
THANKS Im now free of O2
what the heck this method worked for me.. and its O2 i mean it was locked to O2 and i brought it in sweden it gave me unlock code and unfreeze code i tried unlock code like twice without avail and after i used unfreeze code (unsuccessful) i tried unlock code again (unsuccessful) but its unlocked.. now i am confused why did it said unsuccessful but its unlocked .. well why should i whine it worked so you're looking at a happy dude cheers
p.s You got thanks from me buddy d.s
Hi,
I got my Terrain months ago and using AT&T. Seller already given me the unlock code and I won't unlock it until now, I am going to change carrier, and forgot how to enter the unlock code. I sent message to seller but it seem he already forgot me and telling me all phone were unlocked before sent.
I am stuck with using my old phone, I appreciate if anyone can tell me how to.
Tried #7320*code#, #3210*code# or **00012*CODE# from Google but no help.
Thank you !!
Kent
You have to stick a non-AT&T SimCard in the phone. If the phone is unlocked then it will just connect to the carrier without trouble. If the phone is locked it will immediately ask you for a code and if you don't enter the correct code or cancel, it will not connect to the carrier. If you do not put a SimCard in the phone at all it will not prompt for an unlock code.
I have two of these NEC Terrains, one unlocked and one locked. Just to confirm the difference between the two I stuck a non-AT&T SimCard in the locked one. That is how I can tell you for certain that is how this phone works. I'm not just making it up or assuming this is how it should work, I've seen it with my own eyes.
Good Luck.
