No, it won´t work through usb-connection...
You have to use a serial cable, or you can try the xdaunlock tool.

You can also use the plain 3.17.03 ROM without any additonal software. Or you can use the Special Edition ROm for unlocking and then flash back to your old Rom version....

PS: Pleas do not post as often the same question. That make no sense...
how can i get the wmodem application so that i can use xda unlock?
If i install a new rom version (3.17.03) will that erase all my software currently on the walllaby... Also with a new rom does that affect the siganl connection of the phone..???
Thanks Stefan

I went on to the rom kitchen website....
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
And it looked very cool...so many options avaliable...... howeverr would the "3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro" Rom work in Canada?? eventhough its not europe???
are there any other bad things that could happen when i install a custom rom overwriting the A.20.17 version?????
also what is eZwap2 , ezWAP (does it need to be included when cooking your own rom) and action frramework?
ANother thing XDAunlock says that it will only work if i have a wireless modem feature in the rom kitchen...however i dont. So how will installing this new rom unlock my phone???

looks like a Universal rom.
you can't flash your 9100 with a rom especially for another type of device.
you should use something like "WIZARD" or "WIZ"

actually, UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE is for HTC Universal device, or sth like Qtek 4040, not 9100.
i don't know where you get this RUU, but when you browse the xda-developers FTP site, u should find it under Universal category.
so...
and, when you reach a frozen screen as what u described, simply get into the "3-color" status and run an offical RUU for Qtek9100 only.

Everything you need to know -- and all the files to do it -- are in this thread. Read every word and go through each step -- without skipping ANYTHING -- and you will be unlocked and ready to flash a WM6 ROM. There are several of those you can choose from here.
forget to mention my phone is already unlocked...im in canada right now so i got it unlocked to use their network services.

your phone may be SIM unlocked but it also needs to be CID unlocked (to put non-cingular roms on phone). heed the advice of the other members on here cause if not, you will brick your phone.
so the first thing i do is cid-unlock before i do anything else?
yup, make sure it is CID unlocked.. there are tools to do it in these forums, or you can pay 40 dollars to www.imei-check.com and do it there.

Before you do anything I suggest figuring out if you have a G3 or a G4 as which type will determine how you can unlock your phone. If you attempt the G3 instructions on a G4 you will most likely brick your phone.
Just out of curiosity:
If I buy unlock code from say IMEI Check and CID unlock my device, would I ever need to run Hard SPL or Soft SPL to upgrade/downgrade my Trinity? Then going forward, can I just run any custom/cooked/original ROMs without worrying (since my device is permanently unlocked)? Please don't ask me why I want to pay for this when there are so many free alternatives - I don't know the answer
Last but not least, which method of unlocking preserves the warranty? Can the device be locked back just in case I need to take it to service?
Thank you! (I know these qns have been answered many times in this forum, but I just want to reassure myself that I got it all correctly)
As far as I know, IMEI-Check will completely unlock the device, allowing ROM upgrading etc without the need for additional hard SPL or softSPL.
Unlocking in itself doesn't affect the warranty, so you could simply use IMEI check to unlock for use of another SIM card. Further than that, flashing a new, unofficial Radio or OS ROM will technically invalidate the warranty. Most of the free unlockers actually work by flashing the Radio ROM, so in that case IMEI Check is safer as it retains the original ROM.
Once unlocked, there is no way to relock a device, but as long as you have the Operators own ROM in place, the lock status won't be looked at.

Yes, you'll also need to use SSPL / HardSPL if you plan to flash cooked roms (unsigned) in NBH format using the RUU updater.
You'll not need to use SSPL / HardSPL if you plan to flash shipped official ROMs (signed) using the RUU updater or if you you extract the *.nb files from the NBH upgrade and flash from mtty using LNB command in imei-check's MFG bootloader (which doesn't check signatures). You won't be able to flash unsigned code with the standard RUU Updater or SD card using imei-check's bootloader.

Original roms yes, you can flash them without worrying, but you'll have to re-run imei-check's unlocker everytime you want to flash your device with an original rom not matching your CID as CID unlock is not permanent (it disappears when you flash the radio).
As for custom/cooked roms, no, you'll have to worry about a) using HardSPL/SSPL or extracting the *.nb from NBH and flash from mtty, as it's the only way to flash unsigned code with imei-check's bootloader.
dim4x4 said:

- imei check, as long as you replace the bootloader with a standard one before returning your device
- free unlocker, as long as you don't check the "superCID" option when you run it and you flash a standard radio back into it after SIM unlocking.

Depending on why you have to take it to service, but basically yes if it's working.

It will SIM unlock, but the CID unlock will only stay as long as you don't replace the RADIO after unlocking. If you flash another radio, then you'll need to re-run imei-check's unlocker again to have it CID unlocked again. And remember that for flashing a cooked rom you don't just need a CID unlocked device, but also need to bypass signature checking.

But it replaces the SPL on the device by a 1.01MFG SPL, so the warranty is technically void. And it also modifies the radio, but keeps the existing version.

Hello,
how can I downgrade a AT7T tilt 8925 WM6.1 to Wm6.0 I want to unlock it.
Do I need to have a sim card in the phone to unlock it?
no. but you need to run simlock.exe which is in the windows folder. All of it's right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
(a la bill lumbergh) If you could just go ahead and RTFM that would be terrific.

Are you sure you have 6.1? AT$T has not released a 6.1 upgrade for the Tilt. If you are sure that you have 6.1, then it must be a cooked rom . In that case all you have to do is re-flash to whatever rom you want.

if all you want to do is sim unlock your device than the only thing you need to do is pick up the phone and call att. The will give you the unlock code with in 5 minutes. (just tell them you are going over seas and need the unlock code).
If however you want to flash a rom to your device .. than you need to flash hardspl; a simple search "hardspl for kaiser" will pull all info you need. and after that you need to read the kaiser wiki section on rom flashing.
Once you have full understanding of what you are doing than happily proceed
I look at the my Rom version and it is 1.57.502.2.
and my Radio Version is a 1.27.12.11
So is that a WM 6.1 or just a 6.0.

That is the original AT$T 6.0 rom . AT$T has not yet upgraded that rom to 6.1

My current phone is

G 25.88.40.05h
D 3.57.00.00
I have already loaded the Hard SPL, and am wanting to Flash soon. I have been reading for the last 4 days, and keep reading so many admins telling us to search and read, but there is soo much info out there, that it is hard to tell what is needed.
Also, Can someone explain the difference between a cid and superCID?

Just make sure you have the proper hardspl for 6.0 and make sure you follow

Hi, I was just wondering if the method of flashing the Europe ROM to downgrade a 5.10.x.xx SPL could be safely used on a TMOUS phone without unlocking.
Thanks so much for the help, and by the way-I'm not a noob, and actually used to develop very popular Android ROMS. I just decided to move to XDA because of the lack of communication and inefficiency of almost all of the forums I've tried.

if you are referring to SLSPL by ansar, no.
if you have a NoDo restore from Zune, then try this here.
else, you might try this here.
That is what I was referring to, I thanked you, and thanks for the help! Does that mean it would be possible if I unlocked the phone first? I don't have a NODO backup and didn't have any success with the goldcard method, so I would rather just pay for an unlock or call T-Mobile (probably the latter) Thanks again.

to what unlock are you referring to..?
TMO can only SIM Unlock your device... that won't enable you to change Bootloader or install non-Marketplace apps.
I actually am referring to a SIM unlock. The thread tells about how two SIM unlocked TMOUS users were also able to use the same method. I was just asking if this SIM unlock was required, possibly because a Europe ROM would have to be flashed. Thanks again!

SIM Unlock isn't required to change ROM, only XSPL.
did i understand you correctly?
This is quoted from ansar's thread: "Update on 30.12.2011: Two TMOUS users did confirm that after SIM unlock it worked for TMOUS too!!"
The XSPL is what needed to be changed- downgraded from 5.10.x.xx
The method used to do this is flashing a NODO Europe rom with the lesser-versioned bootloader.
i haven't been following the development of SLSPL, but if that is the case, great.
though, i, myself, wouldn't attempt it.
best of luck to you.
