I know there is no free utility yet to CID unlock the G4 devices. Those of you that have unlocked your G4's at the IMEI-Check site http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php Is this just a SIM unlock or also a CID unlock?
If it is a CID unlock are you now able to make a ROM backup using the R2SD method shown in post 8 of this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258819&highlight=r2sd+backup
This is my main reason for wanting to CID unlock. I want to be able to make a full ROM backup with this method, before trying any new ROMs. My CID locked 9100 gives me this error "You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image" when I try a R2SD backup

Go ahead and you will be able to do r2sd backups and restore after CID unlock at imei-check.co.uk.

So does this CID unlock the phone if it's a G4, you're a bit unclear?
IMEI check is SIM and CID unlocking. If you are gonna do it, see my post here.
yes... using the method availble at imei-check.co.uk will very much CID-unlock your device
NOTE: There's been a lot of posts regarding this subject but the fact of the matter is that you do in fact get your phone CID-unlocked at this website despite what you may have read in other threads...
What are the security or other implications of handing over my IMEI to them? Is that safe?

No worse than handing over your credit card info to them.
IMEI Check is a reputable company, and doing what they do, it is in their best interest to safeguard your information. Also, I've never seen any complaints against them that weren't about how much they charged for their service.
They DO intimate that they can re-lock your phone remotely if you back out on payment, but if you deal in good faith, I don't ever see that as a problem.
Of course, YMMV, but probably not.
How many..?
Hi,
I've heard that my device will be CID locked again after applying one of the ROMs. Does this mean I have to CID unlock my device again??
Just to be sure I can restore my backup ;-)
I've already paid for the CID unlocking, but it seems that the extended rom specifically NEVER installs. This, to me, seems like its not unlocked if that isn't working, or at least not fully unlocked. I've run the unlocking tool (from imei-check) 3 times now, I believe, and installed many different ROMs.
How can you CHECK if the unlock worked on a G4?
moonrock You may check CID having started Prophet in mode bootloader and having started mtty142 and take command info 2 - You see your CID.
imei-check does not do unlocking ExtROM this absolutely area miscellaneous.

Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290831 where it's explained what arc is talking about in first paragraph
Second paragraph means that ExtROM isn't unlocked by IMEI-check because it's an independent partition of the DOC chip which is write-protected in G3 2.xx and all G4
HELP!!!
hi everyone I know im posting in the wroge thread but this site is really huge, I need any help cuz i begin to hate my ppc and im stiil a student and cant buy another one cuz my father is really anoying, so i got an i-mate pda2 which i really love its design but the prob. is wm2003se there is no other roms i can find + i dont know how to get this cid unlocker and any rom just any , i will be pleased v.much for help i want the links where i can find a cid unlocker and a new rom which can run manila or wm5,6 plz helppp :'(
After having updated a HTC TyTN (german version) with bootloader 1.04 and CID "QTEK_102" with a new rom HTC (english) 1.18.416.1 07/22/06 with bootloader 1.06 and CID "QTEK_001" I ckecked my "new" CID with mtty and the command "info 2". The program tells me that I have now the CID "QTEK_102" like on the old german rom although I flashed a new enlish one. Now I am not able to flash any other version even if I try to flash the same update again! I am quite confused, because I thought the CID is depending on the rom that I flashed last?! How can I now go back to bootloader 1.04? I would need the same CID for that but there is no rom with CID "QTEK_002" and bootloader 1.04 available as far as I know??? Sorry for this newbie question, but I couldn't find any hint elsewhere....
Okay, I solved the problem by following the thread of hookhook (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284401). THANX!
Hi,
I've been trying to flash my hermes via the SD flashing, however when i try to my hermes briefly flashes on the screen "no image file" then it goes back to the tri colour screen.
Has anyone else had this trouble? Anybody got any ideas?
Cheers!

Have you read the Wiki page on this?
What CID is your device?? also which rom are you trying to flash??
Yep read that page, and most of the wiki and most of the forum, sadly i can't find anything about this, (don't think many people upgrade this way)
Trying to flash the latest 1.35 .......... Rom
As for my CID...well it was unlocked thanks to pof's unlocker, however while upgrading via the normal way it is now (according to info 2) HTCSF kE0
So i went through using hex editor and changed the (what i thought was) CID to what my hermes CID is.
But the reason i posted on here was mainly to see if anyone else had tried upgrading like this and had the same (brief) message???
But if anyone else has attempted editing the nbh file, and has any results, please can you advise at all???
Cheers

Looks like your CID is corrupted. Does it show "No Gsm" when booting? can you see your IMEI, radio & protocol versions in setings - system - device information?

The NBH file is signed, if you modifiy a single bit of it the signature becomes invalid and the bootloader won't let you flash it.
Yeah, it shows no GSM, and it won't boot up. I'm just trying anything i can, i figure it's an expensive paper weight at the moment, can't do any more damage. (can i?)
As for the nbh file....any way we can "sign" the file, make the hermes think it's a vaild file?
Just a question in regards to super cid. Im sure it has been posted before (maybe a thousand times) that once you super cid a hermes, its there for good, but if I brick my phone and enter info 2 and get a timing out issue (no cid), is it still there? If I un-brick my phone, will I have to re cid it? Does it do someting physicaly to the chip to never be able to remove cid?
Some info would be great..
Mal..
When you unbrick you restore the CID you had before bricking it. SuperCID if it was SuperCID, other if it wasn't... and no, it doesn't do anything physical to the chip.
having SuperCID is good for as long as you have a valid CID; if you get a bad radio flash that corrupts the CID area then you're still buggered.
Cheers.
Thanks for the reply.
Mal.
Pof too...
I know this one has been asked before, but for instance IF we are planning on sending for a warranty repair (I know i WONT but...) the possibility is there to resotre the CID to a non super-cid one correct??
So mine will be QTEK_001 for my TyTN etc...
This should be possible using the same technique the unlocker does?
From HTC 7500 (de) to U1000(CHT), use rom is U1000ROMcode_DOPODTW_070320.exe.
the device will always boot in three-color mode

why can't you read the post before you flash the device, it won't work, and you risk yourself of brinking your device. Solutions is on the forum, use the search....
hello sir, I look with "Athena goes wiki ", but not info for that, could you help me to find or tell me how we can do? thanks.

Remove the miniSD card! I had the same problem
now I get CID back, but how to change the CID to Super CID? If not, the rom doesn't be upgraded.
RUU_Athena_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.2_1.38.00
I tried to update my dutch T-Mobile Ameo with the rom RUU_Athena_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.2_1.38.00 and got at first the connection problem on the device, and after I removed the SD Card the same error 294: Invalid Vendor ID.
this problem is HTC 7500's CID not super CID, so if want to upgrade, we must have the tools to unblock the CID.

and if you have read though the forum, then you know there is no tools to make your device super CID, there is no tool to unblock it. you must return to original ROM.
wu5262 is correct. There is currently no way of making the Athena superCID. No one, to our knowledge, has posted the utility yet. Careful guys with trying to upgrade. You might brick your phone and have an expensive paper weight if you're not careful. Not all files/posts are from reliable sources, etc. Not saying the poster is not reliable but sometimes there is not enough information for everyone's use.

Have you tried olipro cid unlock? Since I unlocked my Athena with this software I haven´t had any trouble when instaling roms that showed "unvalid vendor id" before each time tried of upgading wm6 from developer's to the wm6 recently offered from HTC Asia.
