I'd like to flash my Orange Touch Dual with one of the Original Touch Dual ROM posted here, question is, as of yet there isn't any specific Hard SPL/CID unlock tool for dual is there an alternative safe method? or day I take the risk and hope for the best!!
if your device isnt cid unlocked ... you cant flash any customized rom! possible some one make a "Soft SPL" with JumpSPL

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.
Ahh, I see now, thanks guys, I'll sit back patiently and let the gurus do their thing
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!
I´ve decided to unlock my phone and install a new rom.
1, is there a easy guide on how to unlock your phone?
2, do i need to unlock my phone if its not restrikted to a carrier?
3, what does radio mean? ( people talk about it when talking about roms )
4, the version number of my factory rom, is it important? do i need to match the rom i download with the same number?
5, how come that the roms you guys tweek here are so much faster then the facory roms?
Thanks.. im a learning newbie at this,
If you only want to install new ROMs, just install a HardSPL (see the related thread).
Doing this you will CIDunlock your phone (it means you'll be able to flash any ROM on it), but this is not a SIMunlock : you are still restricted to your phone operator.
If you want to make your phone completely security ulocked (SIM unlocked, and SuperCID, which is the next level of the CIDunlock), try to use Jocky's software.
thanks for answering...

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.

I read the Wiki a couple of times, but i dont really understand it.
tmobile foon with tmobile rom with a tmobile sim, use SPL and get my ROMeO rom, update it.... that's all?
When do you have to use CID unlock then?

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...
If i have rooted & intalled cwm recovery i can install any costum rom?
My phone it is locked in vodafone and branded bootloader locked , dont want to unlock because of garanty for the moment it is new so the most of roms i have read the req it is boot loader unlock any chance to have some costum rom on my sk17 like cm7, flush etc.?
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
some RoMs required unlock bootloader....
check here for more info:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1242
i have read for a long time and try some roms who didint say req bootloader unlock but all stops on sonyericsson (bootloop) maybe it is here someone who try and work with a specific rom ...
Maybe they aren't saying that you need unlocked bootloader, but if "kernel" is mentioned, then you need that kernel and kernel flash need unlocked bootloader.
Practically every custom ROM needs it's own kernel, so I'm afraid you'll have to unlock your bootloader.
My manual said that only if defects were caused by custom software, I'd might have to pay for the reparation.
Yes i know but i come from Htc where it was easy (root and redy to install everyting) and now i`m stuck but i don`t give up my garanty for this it maybe later it will apear some roms only with root
tnx all
