Hi
i tried running the Unlock tool for my XDA2 from o2.
The programme said it appeared to be unlocked already. But when i tried a vodafone sim, it was asking for the unlock code.
This is a brand new XDA...(2 days old), have o2 caught up with the unlocking, or am i doing something stupid?!
thanks
matt

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

Hey guys,I got an used HTC TyTN for free but its locked,I tried to follow the instructions in order to unlock this device,while running AUTO_unlock I keep getting an message where it says No Device Connected,while I see ActiveSync have found the device but another window popping and says that phone is locked and nothing can be done before its unlocked.
What should I do?
btw this is my first time to unlock a phone.
hi, and welcome to the fun world of the tytn!
right do you have a memory card for it? if so use teh memory card method of unlocking this is how i did it, and it worked 100% the phone did ask for a sim unlock code, but just enter 12345678 and it usualy unlocks.
hey mate,thanks for answering,I will try that method.
cheers
Hi Forum. May be my first post. I just SIM unlocked LG V10 on T-Mobile. Here is what I can say about the process that might be helpful to others:
1-Phones can be SIM locked by manufacturers so that service providers ensure that phones can only be used on their network or certain countries. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_lock for more information.
2-The process of unlocking requires the service provider to request unlock codes from the manufacturer. The service provider may have requirements to unlock ( e.g. in my case I had to put $100 balance on T-Mobile prepaid card ). This process took 5 working days at which time T-Mobile emailed me to inform me that they were ready for me to initiate unlock on my device.
3-On my device, I ran a "Device Unlock" app which connected with somebody ( T-Mobile ? ) and verified my phone was actually unlock eligible and viola. I'm SIM unlocked.
What I would like to know is what has changed on my phone ( e.g. firmware, some information on some partition ) ? Does this mean I can now root, change ROMs and my phone will remain SIM unlocked ? Any links to information about what actually happens when device unlocked would be appreciated.
slomo2
What I can tell you is that, if you did unlock permanent it is going to be unlocked even after rooting and installing new roms etc.
Now, I want to ask in this forum if the phone can be unlocked if the t-mobile unlock app says it is not eligible to unlock. I bought my phone on eBay, called t-mobile the phone is clean, but they could not unlock it for me because needs an account... So now I'm stuck trying to find a 3rd party unlock website to do it, 2 already said they could not... So I have the phone but can't use it. Any suggestions?
Yes, I can confirm that on this LG V10 having performed a SIM unlock and then having switched ROMs the unlock remained in effect.
Hi,
I just bought a second hand Lumia 800 for parts.
Being carrier locked, I did the process to obtain the unlock code based on the IMEI.
Until that step, no problem.
Then, when I try to unlock it, it keeps saying, wrong unlock code (three attempts so far).
I've gone into a chat session with the carrier customer service and confirmed again the unlock code (i've checked IMEI on both sticker and *#06#).
What's wrong here???
Anyone faced the issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.
