After i did a hardspl and installed wm6.1 my green edition my prophet is simlocked.I used the prophet tools and did the unlock and it gave me some password.But when i press the password it keeps sending me to the pin screen and it always ask me the unlock code.It says unkown sim status or something.What should i do?
When i did the sim unlock staff i had my one and only sim i use.
SHould i try to turn it on with a different sim card?Will it work?
Cause if i need to have the original sim card which was an orange sim card then i am screwed
Do you have an Orange branded Prophet? I think the ROM you are using is based on Cloudyfas latest ROM which puts the SIM lock back on on Orange branded Prophets! I had the same issue and so are no longer using that particular ROM...
So i have to use another rom?Can you recommend me another rom?
I need either a wm6.1 or a wm6 with greek characters.
i would prefer to keep the wm6.1 without the greek but can we do something to sim unlock it?
well use lokiwiz 3 it just provides you the code...do a search on lokiwiz 3 on the forum....keep win mobile 6 and unlock it through code..it's simple...any other question reply this...work safe
It doesn't persist though.
ROMs based on Cloudyfas latest ROMs have SIM Lock issues on Orange branded Prophets.
then the ultimate solution is get it unlocked at a unlocking point...you pay but at least you know you don't do stupid things...or do ass l3v5y says and change the rom....work safe
The issue is with the ROM, and not with the unlocking procedure.

I've just received an XDA2 that is locked to the O2 network.
I need to use a UK Vodaphone PAYG Sim in the XDA.
I've run xda2unlock but it tells me that the phone is allready unlocked.
Except, when I use my Voda sim the XDA still wants me to input a code into the SIMlock box!
Any ideas as to what the problem could be?
what do you mean ?
when you softreset your device and it want a code to do anything but
call alarm and such ?
because thats not a simlock code thats just the sim code
You probably followed the xda2unlock link from the front page of www.xda-developers.com into the wiki pages. In the wiki there is still the old version 1.2 of the tool, which doesn't seem to work on Radio 1.10 or so. At least on my UK O2 XDA2 I had the same behaviour as you described.
The good news is: there is a new version that does indeed work (at least, for me it did). Please go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6963 where you will find version 2.2 of the xda2unlock tool. This is a program that runs on the PDA itself. It does not require the hard reset or the bootloader mode.
Hope this helps ... Kai
PS: I have updated the 2 wiki pages, to include links to version 2.2, too.
Hy guys,
I have a post Dec.2 x01HT and have the following problem. I have bought the imei-check unlocker when it came out and used it. Originally it worked, I tried it with a DOCOMO SIM and everything was nice, but when I tried a GSM SIM it still said simlock....
I e-mailed imei-check and they said I have to do the unlock during a hard reset before the softbank settings screen and that is what I did. After that my device worked with a GSM Sim, but I had a ton of problems: the windows hangs every few hours and I have to reset the set, also I cannot get the hold-down vibrate function of the radio button to work, the reaction time of the touch screen is very slow etc.
I also noticed that if I hard-reset without using the imei-check unlocker after the settings procedures there is an auto customization procedure that runs and customizes the phone to the softbank settings and looks, but if I do the hard reset and unlock with imei-chek this procedure doesn't run and I suspect that is part of the reasons for all the problems.
I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar problem and can help me solve this problem?
I was also wondering if I run the free unlocker on my device will it work better?
P.S. I am using the original Softbank ROM with the English MUI by Asukal.

You can still do the customization manually. There is only one file that you aren't supposed to run. Just unlock your EXT-ROM and install the cabs one by one. Pof has a Softbank extended rom with the bad file removed around here somewhere. In any case the "fix" cabs are all over the place and you probably don't even need to run the softbank stuff if you don't want to.
Thanks,
I am not too much into these things. Originally all I wanted was to SIM unlock my set, but I will try to find how to do all the things you said...to unlock the EXt-ROM and install the cabs myself.
Can anyone tell which cab exactly I should NOT install?
I have downloaded the Softbank Extended ROM from here, but it seems to have even more cabs than in my original ExtRom on the device. I would appreciate a list of which cabs to install or not to install.
Thank You all
So how does this IMEI unlock could work?
Ok, i would like to know what the fucx is going on?? I have g4. I use softspl and it works fantastic. I did the hardSPL and now it shows after boot spl 21.1.olip , so, thats good. Problem is, that i cant flash roms with RUU in package, cause i get every time the message of Wrong upgrade tool ??? Other thing is, that the wizard Tool shows, that i have IMEI lock, but i can use slovenian sim in german phone?? Other thing, i trier sim-unlock with lokiwiz , i had the sim unlock code prepared to type it in. i change the operators sim, but the funny thing i didnt had to enter the pin and the sim was working- i could make a call. ?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?
What the heck is going on?? I use nbd 9.1, works as it should.I have eye on phone, autostarted , great app to get the info of other sim.
Thanks for infos
Do a search on the forum before you post.
This problem occured to several users, there fore equinoxe have had a special RUU from Mun in his HardSPL thread.
Try that RUU, it should work
Thank you. But what could be the problem with SIM??

did you sim unlock your phone? if not thats most likely the problem
I didnt, cause the phone didnt show me> Enter the code for unlock. The foreign Sim worked without entering the pin code. LOL
HEY man, i saw in the post of sSPL that when you was trying to start the START-sSPL.exe, you cant because cecopy.exe was doing an issue, but what did you do for solve this problem??
P.D: Sorry for my english
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.
Hey all.
I currently use windows mobile 6.1 on the device and it works great, but I am giving it to a friend that wants to use the original software it came with (WM2003)
How can I go about restoring it, and also is it possible to keep it unlocked so any sim can be used in it like now?
flashing is flashing you go back to wm2003 by flashing a wm2003 rom on it just
like to did to go to wm6.1
and going back to an ealier rom will not sim lock the phone
Okay I found what I thought to be a wm2003 rom but it dosen't seem to want to work.
It flashes okay but when it turns on at the o2 logo it says NO GSM and of course I don't get a signal.
Is there anyway of getting hold of a wm2003 rom that does work?
