Hello everyone..i know this has probably been answered but i cannot seem to find it...I have a friend that has gotten a G4 8125 that has a cingular sim card...she wants to make it so that it can go to Tmoble...but tmoble says that the "phone" has to be unlocked..i Looked into the lockiwiz program but it says you need the other sim card..tmoble wont give them a new sim card..so how do i unlock the "phone" so that they can bring it to tmobile. If i do the Hard SPL without flashing the rom and keep it...will it seem to be unlocked when they bring it to them
As far as I have been able to discern, the only way to SIM unlock a G4 Wizard is to go here:
http://imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php
It will cost you 20 British Pounds that you can pay by paypal.

If you're an AT&T customer, just call them and tell them you're planning on traveling, and want to use foreign pay-as-you-go SIMs while abroad. They'll talk you through the SIM unlock on the phone.
Otherwise, you are right, you will need a different SIM to use Lokiwiz. You could buy a cheap pay-as-you-go card from TMobile, I believe. Just use the minutes up, or sell the card on Craigslist when you're done with your SIM-unlock.
Do not do HardSPL for this, it has nothing to do with your issue. That's only for flashing the ROM, not for unlocking the SIM.
Hello
In the last 10 minutes i unlocked a Cingular 8125 G4 with Lokiwiz03a. Lokiwiz03 give you an unlock code to your phone. You only need a NO Cingular sim card but i think you can got from a friend or another one.
Good luck.

Anyone know how I can unlock my SIM on my G4 8125?
hi friend you need lockwiz v3.0 i dont remember as well witch version is but also is for charmer and prophet
enjoy it
Where can I find this? And is it possible to brick a device trying to SIM unlock?
its a joke you will find here in the xda forum or the wiki also this program only reads the sim code unlock no faluire or brick device if you intent a cid unlock with a g3 unlocker you had a 10-35% of brick your phone
My CID is already unlocked on My G4 8125.... Had to pay 30 something bucks to do it though.. now I just wanna unlock the SIM... I found Lokiwiz here on the forums.. and I'm gunna attempt it as soon as someone comes over my house with a non-cingular phone with a sim card.. lol
30!?!?!?! ghehe ohw srry that's pretty ****** up when you can do it easy lie yourself
If Cingular is your carrier and you have been their customer for a while you can call them up and request a SIM unlock code. They are obligated to give you one.
you had all reason if you re a cingular custumer yo can speak with they to get the sim code in fact the cid unlock in a g4 cost 30 bucks - 20 euros for a g3 is free
I called Cingular.. and they gave me a SIM unlock code, but they said there was some other code I forget what they called it that they could only give me if I met certain criteria, like contract is up, purchased phone at full retail or are travelling out of the country for an extended period of time...
Where do I input the code they gave me? Just incase what they were referring to was something totally different then unlocking the SIM
You'll have to find a non-cingular SIM card and put it in your phone. When you turn it back on, it'll ask for the unlock code.
Im gunna have to get one of my buddies over here so I can try it.. lol
As mentioned earlier, find someone with a T-Mobile SIM card. Thats the easiest way to test. They (Att/Cingular) should have provided you with unlocking instructions.
btw after all how u do the sim unlock ???
Hey everyone, what's up?
Recently I sold mt ATT 8525 to a buddy. He is currently with T-Mobile and the phone needed to be unlocked. I used this unlock process --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
I followed the instructions for Vista and using the micro sd card. Once it was finished, I slipped in his T-Mobile sim and turned on the phone. It asked me to enter an unlock code still, so I entered in some random numbers and it worked. The phone stayed unlocked and worked on his T-Mobile network for about a week and a half. Then it just locked itself all over again. I'm no longer able to try and unlock it for him again because I am out of town for the next 3 months and he isn't too computer savvy.
Has this happened to anyone else? If so, what did you do to fix it?
Also, if an unlock code is entered too many times, will the phone be locked with the original provider (att) for good? We have tried entering the code a total of 4 times (including the time that it worked) I told him not to try entering anymore codes until I can figure this out.
Thanks for any help I may recieve!

Do you still have AT&T for your phone company? AT&T will give you the sim unlock code for the phone after you've owned it for 2 months (provided it's one of their phones and you still have their service). You just have to call them and tell them you are going over seas and need to use a foriegn sim while traveling. I did this with no problem - the only thing is it takes about a week for them to get you the code (they said they'd email it to me - I actually had to call back after a week and ask for it but they gave it to me.)
well, i purchased the phone on ebay..
Not sure what to say - I'd still probably try calling AT&T (assuming it's an AT&T branded phone and you are a customer of theirs still) it's worth a shot. Beyond that I don't know what to say since I haven't used the sim-unlock tool you spoke of.
well, I appreciate your help. I'll give them a call tomorrow. If they BS with me or whatever, then I think I'll just spring for an ebay sim unlock that's only about 15 bucks.
Hello all.
This is my first post on this forum so forgive me for being a noob! I have searched this forum and the web, but couldn't find help for my prediciment so, here goes.
I've got an O2 3G SIM. I originally got the SIM & contract with an ORBIT2. I lost the bloody ORBIT2! No insurance
So I bought a standard T-Mobile AMEO from a geezer on ebay. Happy Days!
I had the IMEI unlocked
I ran AthenaUnlocker.exe and followed the instructions for this
I downloaded AP DUAL 3.0 ROM with add-ins
I followed the instructions to upgrade the ROM
I got O2 to unlock my SIM
All was good when I rebooted. The screen looked good, I had all 4 bars of GSM connectivity showing, and I had a G next to it. I ran the O2 software to configure the device and rebooted.
It all went tits up when I tried to make a call. Nothing, no error or anything, just wouldn't ring.
Then I tried to connect to internet and got error message;
"Answering modem disconnected" then notification;
"Problem connecting to GPRS network"
1. Is this me putting in the wrong settings?
2. Is the AMEO just incompatible with anything other than T-Mobile?
3. Is my O2 SIM not behaving?
4. Am I obsessed with numbered lists?
Hope someone can help! Any advice would be much appreciated
Not sure what you mean...
1. I had the IMEI unlocked -IMEIs are not locked - they can be blocked if the device has been stolen but then they can't be unblocked - what do you mean? How did you do this?
5. I got O2 to unlock my SIM - as per 1 above, a SIM can't be locked - what do you mean?
Did you try the SIM bedor upgrading the ROM? It should have worked as T-Mobile don't lock their phones.
Does the SI< work in any other phone?
Thanks for the reply. Sorry if I don't know the correct terminology. I've got to admit I know next to nothing about phones!
1. I got the SIM and the phone at the same time. When I put the SIM in the phone it said SimLock and had a code window to enter a code. I thought this was the SIM code, so entered this, but it kept saying 'wrong code'. I then searched the internet and found www.deblocage-htc.com. I gave them my IMEI number, they sent me the code that opened the phone up.
5. O2 sent me the SIM as a replacement for my lost SIM. They put a lock on the SIM when I reported it lost.
I wasn't aware that T-Mobile didn't lock the phone! I wouldn't have bothered to change the ROM. The ROM does look good though, so I'd be happy to keep it, if I could get it to work.
I didn't try it before I installed the AP DUAL 3.0 ROM. Wish I had now. Do you think the ROM is to blame? I've search the web for a couple of days now and not found a similar case.
I'm gonna get my wifes old orange phone unlocked to try the SIM in that.
If it said SimLock then it was locked - you didn't pay to unlock it though, did you? It sounds like a problem with the unlocker.
download the unlocker from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831 and run all three steps and let us know if it works.
Then demand your money back from the idiots you paid...
So are you saying that i've probably bought a stolen phone? I haven't bought a stolen phone, I've got evidence to support this. I know the email address of the guy on ebay. he's had the account for a few years, paypal account etc. Although it was simlocked I could still see the files on the phone. The guy had left his CV on there with his email address etc. So it was his phone.
Anyway, yes I did pay to unlock it. Was that stupid? I used the unlocking software after I unsimlocked it!
I've got it working now anyway, it was O2 that hadn't lifted the bar on the sim.

3125 unlocking help.
Hi, I tried to sim-unlock a locked 3125 with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=2459703 , after that the phone gave me a ''fatal error" "data crashes" message, I had a backup of the supercid file of the phone (file made with the spv-developers supercid tool), I flashed the file back and now I don't have the "fatal Error" message, and the phone accepts other sim cards different from the cingular sim, but the phone has no signal at all, all the other stuff works fine, I appreciate any advice anybody could give me to restore the signal (service) back to the phone, or that means the phone is still locked?.
Thank you

no signal
try to flash just the radio and see if that helps.
How to??
Thanks for your reply, I don't know how to flash the radio only, would love to give it a try though, besides I am willing to provide this phone and also donate to anyone who thinks it's able to create an unlock tool for these phones.
Thank you

Sim unlock? is it still necessary?
How about using one of the new sim-card chips which you place under the sim card (you might have to cut off a small piece of the sim card plastic) and it supposedly eliminates the need for an unlock? The phones (so I have heard) word as if they were unlocked with all cards.
The chips are called x-sim or something.
If you know if it works - give some feedback
Do you have other link?
lewnetoons, thanks a lot for the link, are you able to upload the file to a different service, I don't want to install third party stuff from zango on my PC, is it safe?.

X - sim
I think the universal or tornado sim will work, however I have not used them, I'll give them a try and let you know.
X-sim, xsim turbo sim
I tested the x-sim card and it works.
Right now I have a Nokia e51 because my Startrek died on me (power connector just fell out... can you believe it!?)
I can see no reason why the CHEAP x-sim (bought my for 9 Euros with postage) should not work on other phones.
I simply cut away a piece of the card (so that the small chip on the xsim can sit there tightly - so not too big a piece) and inserted it carefully - simply no simlock, none at all, with any card I tried.
It works on 3g sim cards as well.
@dakiro
where did you buy this x sim for only 9,= euros with postage? i can't find it that cheap anywhere.
tx in advance for reply!

lol, yes
same thing happened to me
For a 3125, call ATT, give the IMEI and they will give you the unlock code in about 5 minutes, no charge, no questions. They asked if I was an ATT customer, I said no and they still gave it to me.

Just got myself a brand new Cingular 3125 off ebay. Called AT&T to ask for an unlock code, but they told me that that serial and IMEI number is not listed in their database...and I should contact the manufacturer. Did it fall of the truck before it reached AT&T???
Anyhow I have mailed HTC for an unlock code 4 days ago and still no reply

does it drain the battery more than normal?
Can I use a T-Mobile sim card in a 3125 (star trek)? I have a nokia phone with T-Mobile but it's pretty crappy. I have a nice star trek phone that I kept from my last job because it was actually two broken star trek phones that I combined working parts (screen) to make it work. Well I would like to use this phone with my T-Mobile sim card but I do not know the unlock code.
I see there is a page called imei-check I think that will supposidly send me files to unlock it, but only after paying them $40.25 USD. The exchange rates to the UK currency are more than 2:1 right now, so I'd rather find a program to do it for free. I used to use AT&T 8525 and Siemens SX66's and it was a piece of cake to unlock them. All it was was an executable file copied to the device and then ran under the device. Why is the 3125 so hard that no one has been able to figure out how to unlock this device? I would of thought an 8525 would be harder to figure out as it's more complicated and more powerful. Google searches yield everything for CID unlocking and Application unlocking, which is not a problem as I'm running WM 6.1 firmware on this device.
So is SIM unlocking really that difficult? Why is this one of the few devices that I am struggling to find SIM unlocking programs? Is it just not a popular device? Any route I can go? Thanks for your help.
You can SIM unlock your device for a money. There is no free service.

Ok actually I called AT&T and they gave me the unlock code after knowing the original phone number and IMEI number.
