I must be thick as I have read more posts on this than I have had hot dinners and tried various utilities all to no avail although thankfully my Wizard still seems to work.
My O2 XDA-Mini s is about 2 years old and of course locked to O2 although the device come up as SIM Unlocked but CID Locked.
IPL - 2.21.0001
SPL - 2.21.0001
I am now on the Three network and would just like to get back to using the phone I love rather than the freebie I have now, so I am assuming I need to get CID Unlocked?
Having bothered to get to that stage I would want to scrap the O2 software and upgrade to a better ROM.
Sorry for being so stupid on this, I am hoping someone in the know can take the time to reply.
Thanks in advance
If it's sim unlocked you don't need to CID unlock to enable other sims.
If your new sim is rejected, then the device is still sim locked.
CID is only used for flashing, so if you want to upgrade to the better WM6 roms now available, you'd have to unlock it permanently (hard SPL) or use the Soft SPL.
Good luck,

Thanks for taking time to reply EquinoXe, you have confirmed what I had already thought.
The device reports "Invalid or missing SIM card" with the Three SIM card and WST v4.2.2 reports "Your phone is already SIM unlocked" ??
I do wan't to upgrade the ROM but more importantly I want to get the thing working with the Three SIM card, then I can worry about the ROM.
Any other suggestions will be gladly received.
Thanks in Advance
Download and use the LOLKWIZ03b program from these forums, follow the insturctions EXACTLY, and it will generate you a SIM unlock code.....enjoy!

I have done this twice just recently but my G4 is not asking me to enter any unlock code. I read other threads where people had similar problems so tried a few times, device still comes up "Invalid or missing SIM card"
I ran EnableRapi from the device before running the batch file so I'm not sure what is going on or if it is something quirky about the G4 device??

Strange, according to lokiwiz (and WST) you are sim- unlocked.
But clearly your three sim card won't be accepted.
I do remember that HTC had been messing with the bootloaders, had to downgrade one in order to unlock it too..
Could you Flash a 2.19.0001 (or earlier G4) IPL/SPL ROM and try again?
You can use dharvey4651's thread as a guide to flash the IPL/SPL.
Just ignore the carrier ROMs, and only update (downgrade) the IPL/SPL with one attached to djharvey's thread (preferably the orange, because that one worked for me).
Flashing bootloaders can damage your device beyond repair, please use this method only if you are shure about the process, and know what you are doing. I am not responseble or liable for any damages.
Flash the IPL/SPL (takes a minute), then try again to unlock the phone.
Note: WM6.x needs IPL/SPL 2.19.xxxxx at least (works great with a 2.19), so if you have downgraded to a lower number, you'd have to upgrade again in order to run WM6.x .
Good luck,
EquinoXe
Same Problem
I have the same problem as the previous post. I downgraded from WM6.1 to a WM5.1 ROM and then ran lokiwiz - success!
I have now gone back to the original WM6.1 ROM and again I am locked out from my o2 SIM.
I am using: WM6.1 ROM Prophet My Green Edition http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2116170
Any suggestions?

Thanks EquinoXe, I am going to try a T-Mobile, Vodaphone and Orange SIM later to see what results then maybe tomorrow try your last suggestion.
Thanks and I will post any results, hopefully not a flashy paperweight (~:
------------------------------
I have now tried T-Mobile, Vodaphone and Orange SIM cards in the Wizard and all work OK so unlocking was never the problem, obviously O2 is OK also as this was it's original branding.
So the problem is only with the Three SIM, I have an old T610 and T630 which I just put the Three SIM into with the same results.
Need to do a bit more reading on this but I thought this sort of restrictive trading practice went out with the monopolies issues, as it seems at the end of my contract it's not just a matter of me buying a phone of my choice, if I want a new handset I have to go with Three, who interestingly don't do XDA style phones, or change contracts.
More if it happens.
I'm guessing that the reason the 3 sim card won't work is because the Mini S isn't a 3G capable device - 3 is the only network in the UK that's 3G exclusive, hense why other (T-mobile, Vodafone, O2 and Orange) sims will work and the 3 sim card won't.
Hope this helps.

This is a patched radio ROM that can be used to remove the Operator SIM lock and CID lock from HTC Hermes based telephones.
It can be used in all HTC Hermes devices, the only restriction is that the device must have bootloader version 1.04
Warning:
If you run this upgrade on any other device than HTC Hermes, you will most probably render it DEAD!
Disclaimer:
This is free to use but at your own risk, I take no responsiblity for any conflict, fault, or damage caused to your phone by this unlocking procedure. It may invalidate your warranty.
Full caution is advised.
Website:
http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/
Install Instructions:
Enter bootloader mode on your Phone. To do this, simultaneously hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus.
[You should see SPL-1.04 on the top of the tri-color screen, if you see SPL-1.06 you'll need to downgrade the bootloader]
Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.
Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program – this will reflash your phone with a patched radio ROM required to unlock.
Wait patiently.
Once the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe upgrade completes, it will end up saying "Upgrade Error 114", but the patched radio ROM will be flashed anyway, dont worry about that error!
Soft reset with stylus (Device will not be hard reset and no data will be lost)
Allow your phone to reboot. Once it has, connect to your PC using Activesync, and copy the HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe program onto your phone. Alternatively, copy it to an SD card and insert into your phone.
Run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on your phone. Wait about 1 minute.
You should see a "SUCCESS!" message from HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe, after that soft reset your phone.
Process is (hopefully) complete!
If the phone requests unlock code when you put a locked SIM, the code is: 22051978.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q - How do I know my bootloader version?
A - When you are on the tri-color screen check the number after SPL-X.XX
Q - How do I downgrade to bootloader 1.04?
A - See this comment. I'm working on an altnative method for all devices, but it's not ready yet.
Q - What is the CID and how do I check which one I have?
A - See this comment.
Donations:
I spent some time and money developing this free unlocker, there's no need to pay me for that, but donations are always appreciated. You can find a paypal button to donate on the unlocker website.
Thanks to:
buzz_lightyear, itsme, vijay555, arc, Asukal, machinagod - for the wise advice and support
everyone else in xda-developers.com
History:
v2a [14-11-2006] - bugfix release, thanks to all who reported the problems!
(hopefully) fixed bug where unlock code has to be entered manually
(hopefully) fixed bug where SuperCID was not kept after rom upgrades in some cases
v2 [12-11-2006] - updated to patched radio 1.16
unlocking software provided (HERM_Unlock_v2.exe): thanks buzz for the source of UNI_Unlock_v1 ;-)
SuperCID is now kept after rom upgrades
v1 [05-11-2006] - patched radio 1.13
unlock manually
Notes:
- v2a makes SuperCID sticky after ROM upgrades, those who used v1 or v2 and are still running the patched radio only need to run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on the device to keep SuperCID forever.

1. down grade bootloader 1.06 to 1.04.
2. then provide POF's method as described in this thread.
all procedures clearly mentioned in his former thread and comment.
Great to see that it is finaly done !
You did an amazing work there! As my device is already unlocked I cannot test, but I am pretty sure that it works flawlessly ;-)
Will this work on T-mobile Vario II
Or is it for HTC devices/ Roms only?
Should work on all Hermes, definately works on Vario II with Dopod Rom.

God job! and how to downgrade bootloader
Hello pof,
I can downgrade bootloader from 1.06 to 1.04 without Radio patch.
Using files:
1) HERMIMG_IPL1.01_SPL1.04_ONLY.nbh ( Special thanks to pof.)
Get this file from xda-forum ftp-site.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Technical/unlocker-reversed.zip
2) EnterBL.exe, GetDeviceData.exe, ROMUpgradeUt.exe, RUU.dll, RUUUI.dll
Get these files from any Shipped_Complete_Updates.
( Run Updates and getting files from temporary folder.)
3) All files in the same folder.
How to:
1) Conect Hermes to your PC
2) Run M3100v3cUnlock.exe without key-file ( no need payment.)
3) When key-file required, close the M3100v3cUnlock window.
4) Run ROMUpgradeUt.exe
Caution:
It's only bootloader downgrade. When anybody get error with
Free SIM unlocker and bootloader 1.06, you can try this method
before unlocking.

Hi,
tried to unlock my T-Mobile Vario II from UK, but the unlock code was wrong...further after I run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe another error than the one described appeared (forgot which one it was)...can anyone help? Did I do something wrong?

I succeeded with first solution for downgrading bootloader 1.06 to 1.04
but worry about sim lock , so I use this solution to unlock sim lock and succeed.
thanks POF for your kindness.
Damn pof .. this is crazy .. YOU ROCK!!!
Why is the unlocker tied to the RadioROM upgrade? Anyway you can make the unlocker available by itself?
Vodafone Spain
Hi All
Thanks POF for your hard work here. Question: I have an original Vodafone Spain 1605, I haven't made any Rom/Radio Update, how should I proceed?
My HTC info:
Rom Version: 1.20.164.3
Radio Version: 1.03.06.00
Protocol Version: 32.34.7010.01W
I don't understand if I need to update my Radio version first or just follow your process.
Thanks very mcuh
Excellent - congratulations!
Nice work pof! Hermes=OWN3D!
I am flashing right now and will post results. I am on Dutch T-Mobile Vario II with original shipped ROM (Dutch)
I am getting exited
Does this mean that if we keep this patched radio then we always are going to have an Super CID device ?? That basically means replacing the included Radio.nbf with this patched one on any ROM package Or am I missing something ?
Also is this a stable ROM. My VARIO II has/had 1.05.02 ?
Thanks POF, my 8525 is unlocked, but I have gone through hell with Vista so just to let you all know that "don't try these upgrades on VISTA".
I have read many posts and finally got it to unlock. In any case, here is what I did (on a XP box with activeSYNC 4.2 - it is running all the time for each of the steps below):
1) on XP, connect the phone to XP and make sure ActiveSync see the phone. Run the exe in 1.30 ROM for Cingular to download the SPL to 1.04. After this the phone will reboot/restart itself.
2a) On XP, with ActiveSync running and connected, run POF's MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe within the unlocker v2a xip file to upgrade the radio to version 1.16. If it fails with ERROR 114, go to step (3); else go to step (2b).
2b) If the first time failed, DON'T TOUCH THE PHONE. Run the exe again and the second time should run fine. There is a 114 error at the end and it is OK. Once you get the 114 error, soft-reset the phone before next step.
3) On the phone, flash with POF's unlocker (v2a) ON THE PHONE MEMORY HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe (in the zip file same as above download for unlock v2a). There is a success notice at the end.
That is it. Hope this help someone.

And what about the CID matching
Good for you! Tomorrow I´ll be picking up my 8525 and I´am anxious to unlock it and strat using it, in preparation I´ve been reading throughout the forum and looks for me that it was very simple for you (except for the issues caused by Vista). I was wondering if you had to check the CID in your device or if you just went blind into the procedure regardless the CID inconveniences?
Why don't 8525 users simply call cingular for the subsidy unlock code? Its cleaner, faster, and there is no risk to brick'ing your phone.
I really don't get it.
Just followed your steps and it worked for me as well. The first time I ran MaUpgradeUt_noID it failed with a 112 country code. But like you said, run it the second time and it worked.
Just popped my tmobile sim in and am going to install blackberry connect because that sim has by BES enabled and see what happens
Thanks much!!

I asked the rep in the cingular store, they lie to me, telling me just call the 611 customer support number and they will unlock me. So, it is a company phone and I said fine.
I have been cingular for years and I will definitely switch to TMOBILE once this expire! I had tmobile before and they just require me to be with them for 90 days before I call.
About the 611 call, they ask me to join the $6.99/mo global travelling plan.

All you have to say is you're travelling outside the United States and wish to use the phone with a different sim. They will do it right there and then, or they will log a ticket to have some other group do it. It can be had instantly, just a matter of whether the rep you talk to have access to that system. The unlock code is based off of your IMEI number.
I think there is a number in the wiki page that connects you directly to their roaming group of some sort. I just dialed 611 and they emailed it to me the next day without any additional plan.
You'll simply roam on other carrier if cingular network isn't found.

That is what exactly I said.... I have 3 other phones with Cingular before and they all unlocked the same way. I think they just mess up on this one this time.
hey ya'll, so I followed these steps and everything works except for now, the backlight on the slideout keyboard no longer turns on -- any suggestions on what to do now?
no cingular unlock code can SuperCID your 8525 however...
I worked for me
andykwg : Thank You!
Having your post as a starting point and after a lot of reading through out the threads I suceed to unlock my 8525 spl 1.06.
I found a couple of issues during the unlock
1.- After 2% progress I got an Error # 262 (Update Error) so I had to get into the recovery procedure, but it was very easy and finally I downgraded to ROM 1.30.502.1
2.- During the Radio Patch flash I got the Error # 120 (Country Error), but as you instructed I only had to rerun the exe and at the end I got the expected Error # 114
Thnk you and pof, I guess I wouldn´t dare if I had read your post.....
I see that you can't do this in VISTA.
Has anyone tried in Windows XP x64 yet?

You have a G4 device you CANNOT downgrade to a 1.x rom.
You CANNOT flash your IPL/SPL if you try you will definately make your device an unrecoverable brick.
IPL/SPL has nothing to do with CID or SIM locking or unlocking. They are the bootloaders for your radio and OS.
You should never have to change your IMEI number. This is actually illegal in some places. The only reason your IMEI number would not work is if your phone was stolen and in turn reported stolen by the original purchaser. In which case the IMEI would be blacklisted so the criminal could not make use of the stolen phone and hopefully would get the idea that stealing phones is not a profitable venture.
If you paid for and used the IMEI Unlocker software correctly then your device is probably unlocked and you can try flashing G4 safe roms to the device.
If your phone is locked you have the means to unlock it if you paid for it from the website, if you didn't pay for it and got it from someone else it will not work as the algorithm is based on the IMEI # I believe.
Lastly CID unlock is not the same as SIM unlock. What are you trying to do and WHY do you need to do these things to your phone? You haven't made this clear and I don't think you understand what you need to do to get your phone working the way you want it to, if you keep progressing this way you will ruin your device. I suggest you stop and read the G4 forums.
Hi mate,
i've got exactly the same device, look at my signature how flashed WM6, there is no need to get rid of IPL/SPL 2.21.0001 or G4, even CID-unlocking is not necessary. The only limitation is that you can't change the splashscreen - i don't mind it anyways.
regards
IRM
Of course you can change the Splash Screens. I have a G4 Wizard and now have XDA Mobile 6 and added the Splash screens that are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310954
but you need to use the Update Utility from Wizard Love, just swap the nk.nbf file.
You can also use the Update Utility from Wizard Love to change the Radio ROM.
Kind Regards

i used the imei unlocker ..i think it could make bricks
i unlocked my phone 8125 (g4) w/ 2.21.0001 2.21.0001 after that
it would never come out of boot mode
from just that i think it somehow screwed me
ipl 2.21.0001
spl 2.21 i was told this is a valid (G3) spl where it came from i don't know
can't find anything to fix it
i get a error invalid vendor id when i try to flash the stock at&t rom
nothing seems to work
looks like its simi unlocked but it finished to 100% and then rebooted
anyone know any threads tha discuss a mixed ipl / spl
thanks , i hope the wizard is bio degradable
No known recovery method for a mixed IPL/SPL in G4, it's a currently a brick.
Im pretty new to this whole process, and i went over the unlocking thread with the v.3a. I tried and tested this method, but EVERY time, it goes to the simLock screen and tells me i've entered the code x times, and to wait for timeout. The buttons are greyed out so i cannot enter my own code!
This is a new phone and I havent put my own sim card in it yet (Don't know if i HAVE to do that), I tested with a T-mobile sim card.
Rom Version: 2.15.502.3
Rom date: 4/9/07
Radio version 1.40.30.00

SPL - 1.11
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Im such a newb at this!!! Thanks!
Noone has any answers? =*(
You need a Cingular / AT&T SIM to be able to do this. I'm stuck in your same situation right now.
Hope that helps.

i just unlocked my AT&T 8525 pretty easy with pof's v.3, when i did it i had no sim chip in the phone. i dont think the sim chip matters much until the unlocking process is over.

i just unlocked my AT&T 8525 pretty easy with pof's v.3, when i did it i had no sim chip in the phone. i dont think the sim chip matters much until the unlocking process is over.

I did everything that i have been asked by it and at last it finished and when i put my simcard which is t-mobile in it, it says that "YOu have tried 6 times please wait until time out " and it is taking more than 12 hours now to time out what should i do is the phone unlocked?
maybe a hard reset will let you try again faster?
Right chaps... so, here's the deal, I've done a SIM unlocker for the Sedna, if you want your device sorted, click this link:
http://sedna.htc-unlocks.com
Now... this also contains Hard-SPL; if you *DON'T* need a sim unlock, then just wait as I will be releasing the Hard-SPL here anyway.
if you do need a simunlock, use the link.
Good stuff!
we are receiving P6500 next week
When you say it's for Sedna,do you mean p6500 or p6550? Some call the
P6500 the 'Sirius' so I just want to check first. I have a P6500.
M.S
Same thing (well, as far as this is concerned anyway)
Right, so does this thing invalidate one's warranty?
that depends really... mainly on how badly you break the device.
if you don't break it badly enough to stop you from overwriting the Hard-SPL manually then you just replace it before RMA.
if you can't do that, it's unlikely they'll be able to discern you Hard-SPLd it
Does the SIM unlock still work if you overwrite the Hard-SPL?
Does the very fact of unlocking with this program affect the warranty?
yes, it works indefinitely no matter what you do.
and I already answered the warranty question.
go look up the term "warranty by law" and "warranty by manufacturer"
How much time to obtain the Unlocker?
Naturally, I paid ...
My p6500 now unlocked.
Just to say thanks, this has worked and I've now unlocked / debranded my orange p6500!
Many thanks.

@OliPro
Will you publish SSPL and HardSPL for SEDNA please?
Unlock
The unlocker has not worked on my Orange P6500
I have tried it twice without success.
i keep getting the message 'network locked' when I put a t-mobile simcard in to the device

drop me a message then and we'll see what's not working.
I've not yet encountered one that's worked because of the device; it's always been due to the user.
@Olipro/others:
I can buy the Spanish ROM P6500 from Expansys USA for about $100 less than the WWE ROM (EU) version...
Any reason whatsoever to NOT do this???
Thanks and best regards...
EDIT: Of course I would want to flash WWE ROM to it as my Spanish is a little rusty
nope, save the money and get the cheaper.
Which reminds me, I really should get around to Posting Hard-SPL at some point today.

Au contraire. I can forward the PM's back to you if your memory is that short
Sorted in the end though. No, it wasn't my fault!
M.S
OliPro, Tnx for unlocker and fast replay ... tested with success on Orange P6500 ...
Thanks Olipro, followed your advice and it worked perfectly, i now have an unlocked and debranded p6500 for about 25% of the price orange charged
IT's not working for me
The hard SPL runs and clearly flashes the handset as it's then has the OliPro rom boot image when it goesto update the radio rom it then tells me it's 100% complete then says it's failed to flash the rom propperly and returns the phone to the coloured bars meaning i have to reflash the entire thing with an original rom to make the hand set work.
ANy help would be appreciated, it's a second gen orange 6500 if that helps which may mean they've mucked around with the network lock when they dropped the 6.1 release.
Hi,
Was the HardSPL ever released for this handset?
