My phone is AT&T fuze Unlocked. I am a newbie, I want to know if I flash a new rom and radio, will that put my phone back to locked? Thanks.
....wtf....you kidding me......as if the question wasn't enough you must double post it............
@starrayfly:
My friend, you need to take more time to research before posting questions. And it's considered impolite to post the same question more than once.
That said, flashing a ROM and/or Radio to your device will not SIM lock your device. If you haven't read up on HardSPL yet, that's your first stop. Here's a link to get you on your way:

it appears that you have x01ht that came with the latest softbank rom 1.33.761.4. the radio rom with this is special and you cannot delete nor overwrite it. whatever rom you flash, the radio rom will stay the same 1.14. unfortunately there is no way of unlocking the sim at this time. wait patiently until someone comes up with any tricks.
this is already answered so many times. please search the forum before posting questions.
Hello. thanks for reading my post/questions.
I called TM to give me the unlock code for my MDA Vario.. about two days later I got the unlock code via e-mail. I've inserted other simcard and it accepted, no problems. Now its a truly world gsm phone I can use while traveling abroad.
Now.. what is all this talk about CID unlock? I read a few post but still lost, there is so much information scattered. I read the wiki site about upgrading to WM6 and I'm still confused..
Do I need to do the CID unlock? what are the pro/cons? What is the next step after sim unlocking.
Thanks again for reading/answering my post.
You don't NEED to CID unlock. Only if you want to flash (upload) new ROMs especially from other than t-Mobile. Go HERE for specific guidance regarding SIM/CID unlocking.

You won't get a clear answer, maybe just a few posts telling you to go and read yet more scattered information or six 95 page threads.

You don't need to CID unlock but you do need to install Hard-SPL. Then you can flash any ROM you like. Try reading the wiki and read the forums about flashing before you flash for the first time.
The sticky posts on the Forums often cover the basics.

hooold it! before you make a big mistake.
* ALWAYS use hard spl!
* use any rom that you like
* update it...and that's all
you don't use CID lock unless you are 100% sure of what you're doing! when you're device is CID unlocked there is no way back!
(a pain in the *ss with warrenty issues)
Is there are way to know if your phone is already CID unlock or not?
Cuz i bought my phone with a custom rom in it already... so i know that it has been HardSPL already, but i don't know if they had unlock the security/CID or not...
Thanks for the help,
Radio:1.02.25.31
ask the person you bought it from?? he will tell you.

Pretty sure error 262 is vendor ID check which means your not Hard-SPL or CID unlocked i'd advise you take some time to read the stickys at the top of forum before going any further...
Hi.
I've been searching around the forum for the past few days to find an answer to the question i have had for a long time.. But the only thread i could find, with just about the same question, had no replies..
I don't want to be annoying and create threads, But since i haven't actually bought the phone yet i don't understand half of it haha.
Anyway.. My questions is>
You can set up internet on the phone by typing stuff like proxy/APN and it will work even overseas?
POP3 e-mail account can be set up and work overseas too?
Anyway! I read about the unlock.
I'm not sure what is post or pre april? And what phones are unlockable.
I will be buying it of a japanese auction site.. And i've looked at a few auctions, one of them says
Radio version : 1.14.00.10
Another says
Radio version : 1.16.00.00 (both of these are used phones)
Will i be able to unlock these? I would like to keep the language Japanese (because i need that to write e-mail to my girlfriend in Japan)
If so, how? just by the USB cable, and buy the unlock from http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php? Or what ?
Please don't give me link to the unlock thread and tell me to read it.. i've read it and didn't understand most of it :/
Sorry to be such a noob haha.
Radio version : 1.14.00.10 is not possible to unlock, unless you pay for a special unlock tool that is not supported by this community

But the 1.16.00.00 is possible to unlock for free on this community !?
And still be in japanese, and able to use overseas?
Could anyone please tell me if i can unlock a used model with radio version 1.16.00.00 ?
If yes, how? is there a guide?
Can i do it for free on this community or shall i buy this first -> http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php
I will only need USB cable to unlock right ?
THANK YOU experts!
You only need to buy imei-check.co.uk thing if you want to unlock 1.14.00.10 version.
One with radio 1.16.00.00 should already be unlocked, check it out first...
just do some reading, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
Hi
Oh really ? i see.
Well i read the whole thread before posting .. But i understand that it has to be a brand new never turned on phone before being able to unlock it.. Or it will be locked forever.
And i will buy it Used from Yahoo Japan.
So this will probably be locked or what ? since it has been turned on?
THANK YOU~~!
I spoke with a seller, he said he Unlocked the phone when going on business trip to China, and the radio is 1.16.00.00. He said that the unlock might not work because he did a hard reset.. Is that true?
Won't it be unlocked for ever?
Please can't anyone confirm this ?
Really need your help.
once unlocked, always unlocked
Thank you !!! Will i need the Software CD to do things like upgrade things? Because it doesn't come with my phone.. Can i download it some where? if you have link please tell me
And do i need to flash it to another radio or something to make it work on GSM network in europe?? (´・_・`)
PLEASE READ THE Hermes Wiki, READ sticky threads...
You will not need CD, no need to flash radio (could be dangerous)
My phone is AT&T fuze Unlocked. I am a newbie, I want to know if I flash a new rom and radio, will that put my phone back to locked? Thanks.
