Hello everyone, This is my first post. looking to find out do I need to unlock My Cingular 3125 before I can install Windows Mobile 6? I have downloaded it. The plain jane version. don't like branded phones. Thanks
You will only need to app unlock the phone the program is included in the download "SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe".
Registry/Application Unlock
Erofich, thanks for the info. Another newbie? Is this all I need for my cingular 3125 is to do a app. unlock then run the RUU?
then you rin Soft SPL - read the instructions!

Hi all, Just got a an O2 mini S for my wife because she liked mine so much. Unfortunately it is a G4 (mine is a G3) and it has all of these CID unlocking issues. I want to put a WWE Rom on this German G4. Is it correct that if I unlock my phone at http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ I can put any ROM on the G4? Or can I still only put certain ROMs (if so which ones?) on the G4? Thanks for any help.
Dave
yes http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ will cid unlock your phone, making it possible for you to flash your device with all sorts of roms using the normal ruu .exe method.
Alternatively you can use mun's shelltool.
Good Luck
Got it
I used the tutorial here: CID Locked Flashing (MUN's as you suggested), and I was able to flash a WWE Rom. I have to say I was scared I would damage the phone, but MUN's top notch instructions helped a lot.
Thanks for the help!
Hi comm!
I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II, Rom Version: 1.21.
Can i upgrade my PPC with the released WM6 update of HTC without any problems, although i have a differently branded TyTN? Will all functions work (telephone, internet)? And can i downgrade my WM6 to WM5 easily or can I reactive my current system status with a backup (SK Tools)? Last but not least, what will the warranty say?
Thanks for your efforts.
PS: sorry for all these maybe stupid questions...but i´m just a beginner =)
upgrading to WM 6 worked for me as did unlocking ;-)
If you do not use an official T-mobile ROM update forget any warranty, unless you're able to downgrade to the original one
I have an original Rom from T-Mobile. Do you know what happens with the warranty of T-Mobile when you unlock the CID? Does the CID still will be unlocked if you install another Rom? Can you lock it again?
It won´t be possible unless you downgrade to your old ROM again. I am not sure if that´s possible, though.
I went along the way described at http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php...ask=view&id=65&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=4
If you follow the directions including the upgrade to wm6 from Custel, you can afterwards install the German WM6 version from HTC. It won´t work directly. The CID will stay locked and the HTC cannot be installed until you installed the CUSTEL version.
I think the T-Mobile contract does not allow to modify the system in this way.
How to
Using the search function gave me thread as the first result.(Couldnt find any how to guides)
So.. What do i need to do to upgrade my ROM? i have a fresh MDA vario II just got repaired from the shop.(Nothing to do with bricking if you;re wondering)
Can some one please give me a simple step by step guide on how to upgrade.
Thanks a bunch

Hello westie,
use the search funktion for "unlocking" and "ROM" here in the Hermes section.
You will find Threads to unlock your device and you will find available ROMs to flash your Hermes.
For example this:
unlock
Schaps ROM 4.20
or search this part of the forum
hi eightball
thank you for that but soon after posting that poped up
could u explain exacly what the 'CID' is??
sorry but im new too this!
thanks
westie277
I'm in the same boat here.
Won an auction for an Orange SPV M3100 on ebay, and plan to use it with Three Uk sim card, and if poss debranding it would be good.
If you flash your HTC Hermes will it still retain all functionality included in the branded rom?!

It will retain the functionality that is not dependant on provider's apps. So it means that settings for Orange MMS, Orange theme with Orange today plugin will be gone. This can however be installed back (you can download those files in extracted EXT ROMS part of Hermes wiki).
Free Hermes unlocker will unlock the Hermes for other carriers too. It can be found in Hermes upgrading forum.

So for example if I install Black Satin WM6 upgrade, will I have all functionality such as video calling, internet (3G & Wifi), mms, camera etc all working as intended with the phones original WM5 Orange branded rom?
The unlocking part sounds easy enough, I downloaded Hermes SIM CID unlock v3a I read the instructions whch say connect via activesync and run the '.bat' file. Should this take long? Should have the phone by Thursday hopefully so would like to know what to do in advance so I can get it ready for my 3 Uk sim.
Hi there. I've searched a lot already, I know you don't like us noobs to ask the same thing 4567890 times. But 've searched.
I have a G4 Cingular 8125. SIM locked to cingular of course... how can I use it with another carrier...
I already even flashed another ROM (XM6r5). Used lokiwiz 0.2b (couldn't find a newer version, but I heard somewhere there's 0.3a... just couldn't find it). But I still get the "network is locked" message at booting up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards.

Are you sure you have a G4 phone ? why I ask this is cuz lokiwiz02b doesn't work on a G4 device and SIM/CID unlock it ? only lokiwiz03 MSL works on G4 phone but can only SIM unlock code is generated and still can't CID unlock the phone,infact a G4 device cannot be at all CID unlocked,how did you upgrade to XM6r5 Rom ? plz explain accurately and post the present IPL/SPL ...?
of the phone here.
Cheers!

What exactly you want to do,if you just want to get SIM unlock code,then use lokiwiz03a to generate a SIM unlocking code,but if you want to upgrade it to any latest wm6 rom,use the 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL' method,its not possible to CID unlock a G4 phone.
Download the 'WST Tool' and run the 'CID Action' button to verify the CID locked/unlocked status of your phone.
BTW, whats the present IPL/SPL...? of the phone. As you say you have flashed wizard_love Rom,whats the status of the phone ?
Cheers!
eh guys i just unlocked cingular 8125 with lockwiz 03. really great.
I Have An Unlocked 8525...i Have T-mobile...if I Want To Upgrade To Wm6 Do I Have To Unlocked Again?

no you dont have to unlock, once unlock it will stay unlock.
helluva job you did searching there, take you pick:
1) google
2) htc site
3) hermes wiki
Here is a great thread to read,
