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,
I am new on this forum an read a lot so far but it is not clear to me anymore. What i want to do is only a sim unlock action on my G4 model. Can i use the same tools that are mentioned for the G3 models. Please advise

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.

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
unlock sim card for qtek9000

thks
lockwiz 3a
sim unlocked my g4 8125 with it yesterday,many thanks xda people
also can anyone recommend a good wm6 rom for the 8125 thanks in advance and this is a truly amazing website
okay i am new to the HTC scene and i have read every thread i can well over 100 on how to sim unlock this phone Cingular 8125 G4 i ran lokiwiz3 and it gave me the 8 digit unlock code then i entered a Tmo sim and it is telling me
You have tried 6 times.
Please wait for retry.
what does this mean i never enter the code before am i doing something wrong or is this normal?
i ran lokiwiz without any sim in the phone does this make a difference?
Any solutions?
is there any impact?
I've tried all the methods in this forum but I can't unlock it, I ran Lockwiz 0.3 and it gave my a number, but when I turn on the phone it doesn't ask me for a unlock code, I've tried with two sims, one with PIN and the other without, when I put the one that has PIN code it ask me to enter it but when I do it tells me that it's a invalid sim and the screen stays at the pin code entering proccess, of course when I put cancel the phone says is "searching" all the time. When I put the other sim it doesn't ask for the unlock code either and also stays at searching all the time.
I've put the sims on other phones so I know that they're not the problem.
I had my g4 hard SPL with X2H'S WM6.5 (with Manila2D) - {Build 23001} rom, but now I removed the hard SPL so to see if this fixed the problem but it didn't...
I would be really grateful if someone could help me, I've read lots of threads but haven't found a similar problem.
i got cr96 6.5 rom installed and i ran lokiwiz03a and got the sim unlock code . ok so i put my tmobile sim in and it never asks for the unlock code it just acts like its constantly searching for network . what do i need to do ? i was gonna flash back to stock rom but idk where to find it and im scared of bricking the g4
Mine is doing the same. Anyone know the solution?
Ok, I figured it out. I had cid unlocked and then upgraded to cr96. So I ended up flashing the rom to the official windows mobile rom and then running lokiwiz. Lokiwiz provided the sim unlock code and then I entered it into the phone while still running the official rom. I then flashed the cr96 and everything was unlocked. So basically:
1 flash original windows mobile rom
2 run lokiwiz and click sim unlock
3 write down the number it gives you
4 turn phone on with a non official sim in it
5 the phone will tell you the phone is locked and give you a place where you can enter the code that lokiwiz came up with
6 enter the code
7 flash to whatever rom you want
the above assumes you are already cid unlocked
