There's only one way to do an actual CID unlock on a G4, and that's to pay these guys to do it for you http://www.imei-check.co.uk. But, if you just want to flash various ROMS on it, then you don't need to unlock it. Just check out the first thread in this forum and the wiki.

I understand that there is not a free way to CID unlock a G4 device, but the question is, is there a way to just SIM Unlock it so you can use it with a different carrier? I understood CID unlock and SIM unlock is not the same.

That's right, CID and SIM unlocking are different. If you want to SIM unlock your phone, the only option is to pay that same company I mentioned. There is no free way to SIM unlock your phone still.

Yes, the lokiwiz program worked for me to SIM unlock my 8125 G4. I can't remember the details-- I vaguely recall that version 02b worked better than the 03 version. But yes, it works for SIM unlocking a G4.

Just be sure NOT to flash the button rom or any other "FULL" rom that contains IPL/SPL or you will ruin your device. It is not advisable to follow G3 instructions for your G4 device for this reason.
But, then again I am sure you already knew this because you read the wiki and the stickies right
Sim Unlocking a G4 8125
No disrespect to any of the developers here who have done shiploads of brilliant work to unlock the 8125's et al. Sadly though when reading you have to take a geat deal of care and read a lot of stuff to try to figure out what to really do because it would seem there is loads of half truth and uninformed comment being passed off as fact.
Having read 100's of posts here I launched into the SIM unlocking process and found that on my G4 8125 Phone that Lokiwiz version 0.2 threw errors and did not seem to successfully SIM unlock the phone.
So I moved up to LokiWiz 0.3a which contains LokiWizMSL.exe 845,932 Bytes. This package on my G4 Cingular 8125 running 2.25.0001 IPL and SPL, OS 2.25.11.1 and successfully unlocked the phone. When you run Lokiwiz look for the lines:
SIMLock Code is your code... Type it with another SIM in...
--------------------
Lock Status: 0100000000000000
SIMLock Code: 926***** <==== 8 Digit number
Write down the SimLock Code you need this number.
The one confusing thing is that is now totally obvious is that after you run Lokiwiz you need to swap to a SIM card from another provider to enter the code when the phone reboots, in my case I borrowed a workmates U.S. TMobile SIM Card and when the phone booted up it asked for the code that I generated above. Once that is entered your G4 phone is SIM Unlocked.
This part ain't that hard it is nerve wracking for us noobs tho.
Huge thanks to everyone whose work contributed to these tools, next chance I get I have you nominated for God.
Now I'm on to CID unlocking my phone to get WM6 and Touchflo on it. I suspect several more days reading will be required.
Phil
Unlocked Cingular 8125 G4
Thanks for the guidance.
Just installed Lokiwiz03a, ran the batch file, swapped cards, and put in the new code. Everything worked perfectly.
Thank you everyone for the software and tutorials.
YES lokiwiz03a worked flawlessly for my wizard G4 too, Now i have sim unlocked my phone, is CID unlocking same as making the device Super CID?
Easier Than Cutting Warm Butter
actually it is so simple and by the way : HERE IS A HINT:
I DID INSTALL THE ENABLERAPID.CAB AND CERT_SPCS.CAB LOCATED IN THE UTILS INFO.. AFTER I SWICHED THE SIM CARD REBOOT THE PHONE AND RUN THE lokiwiz03a.exe IT GAVE ME THE CODE.. I DIDNT HAD TO SWAP SIMS.. AND WOALA....
IT WORKS EASIER THAN MOST EXPECTED THINGS...
STOP PAYING $40 DOLARS TO UNLOCK THIS THINGS.. THESE IS A VERY NOOB GUIDE..
I AM ATTACHING THE RAPID.CAB
NOW I AM INTO MAKING MY CINGULAR 8125 WM6..
ANYSUGGESTIONS
Congratulations Phil!, I hope you find the way to CID-Unlock ours Cingular 8125.
I'll be readingo this post for future results.

Does anyone know if there has been any new developments on a free method of CID unlocking a G4?
I have tried the methid mentioned earlier, I get my 9 digit number, swap the sim to a locked network, enter the 9 digit number when asked, and it seems to unlock the phone, but as soon as it tried to register on the network I am presented with the network is locked screen again.....Unless I turn the phone to flight mode and then of course it all works fine (except the phone ) any ideas why this might be?
Syngress
This works
I would like to just say how grateful i am to everyone working so hard to make all our G4 wizard users' lifes a little easier. THANKS AGAIN.
Im wondering what I need to do to get the TouchFlo on my G4 Wizard without risking bricking it (i have enough horror stories to not want this to happen). So anyone with advice id very much appreciate it or links on where i can download it.
Thanks

Today, I used Lokiwiz 03a. I ran it and it unlocked my Cingular G4 8125. I am now using it on T-Mobile. I works. Plain and simple.

is anyone from xda-dev working on G4 simlock unlocking?
Is there any BOX ( I saw service boxes for smartphones like JAFWM, it says it can also unlock wizard but I don't know if this info is about G4 wizard)?
I know about IMEI-CHECK. Now I just can't pay for it. I live outside of GB.
Polish PAYPAL really sucks

Lokiwiz will unlock G3 AND G4 wizards.
So...
I've tryed it.
I'm running lokiwiz on good simcard (i have polish orange simlock so Insert Orange PL SIM). It gives me code.
Then Im inserting my card (I have Plus GSM) and phone says "network is locked insert code (or somethink like that, I dont remember it now)
So Im entering unlock code from Lokiwiz. After pressing "Unlock" I see today screen. After 5 seconds it goes back to unlock code screen.
Am I doing something wrong?
IPL: 2.21.001
SPL 2.21.olip
GSM:02.71.11
Simlock: Polish Orange.
I've tryed diffrent ROMS like TNT, NBD , Polish Official wm 5 from orange.
Hard Reset is not working also.
All the time the same problem ;-)
As you see phone has hardSPL

Hello:
I can't unlock my M600 because when I put the unlock code, the screen changes to "Input SIM PIN", but when I put the SIM PIN, the screen go again to input unlock code (is a loop).
This is all steps that I have made:
1) M600 without SIM card inside, connected to ActiveSync. I execute Lokiwiz03a without problems, all ok, and I get my 8 digits unlock code.
2) Power off M600 and I put a SIM card of other company.
3) Power on M600 and I get: "Input your PIN code..."
4) I put the SIM code and after 4 seconds the screen changes to "Network Locked. Please input the unlock code".
5) I put the 8 digits unlock code and after 2 seconds the screen changes to Step 3 ("Input your PIN code..."), and when I put the PIN code, the screen changes to "Network Locked. Please input the unlock code"..., IS A LOOP!!.
I'm desperate, I don't know that I can do. I have make soft and hard reset but I have the same issue.
Please, I need help..., what can happen?, exists any alternative method for unlock my M600?.
Thanks for all!!

If you have another SIM card try that. Also, try removing the SIM PIN on the current SIM card. (you'll need another phone/device)
Solved!.
I have restore the full original Orange Rom and unlock code was work!!.
If anyone have this problem, I reccommended install the original rom and try again.
Thanks!!

I think it might be worthwhile putting that in the lokiwiz thread/wiki entry.
Sorry 3v5y, I'm searching the Lokiwiz forum but I can't find...
Please, tell me the direct link and I will put the issue with solution.
Thanks
Here's one link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Unlock_Sim
Thanks I3v5y.
I have modified the wiki.
Please see the result (the lines in red color is the lines that I have added) and if you believe it is necessary, rewrite my text because I think that my english is not good...
Instructions for SIM Unlocking your Prophet :
1. Download ftp://xda:[email protected]-developers.com/Uploads/Prophet/Prophet-tools/Lokiwiz03a.zip
2. Unzip Lokiwiz03a.zip somewhere on your computer
3. Make sure that your phone is connected via ActiveSync with the computer
4. Execute lokiwizMSL.bat on your computer
If it states: "Could not update itsutils.dll to the current version, maybe it is in use?"
Do the following :
*Copy the cab's from the Utils folder in the Lokiwiz03a.zip file to your Prophet and execute them.
(There are two files : "Cert_SPCS.cab" and "EnableRapi.cab")
*Execute lokiwizMSL.bat on your computer
5. It will give you the SIM unlock code after it runs, write it down somewhere.
* In some cases, if you get characters (or characters and numbers), indicates that your phone-pda was ulocked.
6. Just get a different SIM from the one your phone is locked to, and install it in the phone (you have to turn off your phone)
7. Turn on your phone
8. When it asks your pin code enter your normal pin.
9. It then asks you for the Service Provider Unlock Code: Here you insert the SIM unlock code you wrote down in step 5.
* NOTE: If you have a non original ROM, you can have a problem with unlock code, because when you put it, the screen
returns to SIM PIN code, and when you put the pin code, the screen changes again asking for unlock code...,
if this is your case YOU MUST CHARGE THE ORIGINAL ROM IN YOUR PDA, in this case only with your original rom you can
unlock the pda-phone.
10. That's it, enjoy your unlocked Prophet !
hi, i have download the Lokiwiz03 and i have sucefull the unclock code, but when i put the pin code in qtek 9100 after says UNKNOWN SIM STATUS and din´t ask the unlock code. with a different sim,if i disable the pin they starts and goes to home screen but is searching for network hour and hours

Flash back to an original ROM and try again.
I am in a foreign country and trying to get service. I have was not familiar with sim cards changing before this. So I put in the new sim card and when it was asking for my unlock code for my phone I kept typing in my sim card phone number.....
Then I realized it was the code for un-locking the device. I then paid to get an un-lock code and when I type it in after placing the sim card in it fails every time.
After doing some research online it sounds like if I failed ten times it hard locks. Is there anyway to break the hard lock so I can type in the right code to unlock my phone?

You should try asking in the HTC One forum.
Which HTC One is it? You might be able to unlock via root + S-off + config.dat unlock.
