Yes, just update your ROM with one available in whatever language you want.

choose one here, make sure your sim is unlocked.
SIM lock isn't important for switching Rom, CID unlock is.

I have tryed to CID unlock the device but it seems that it does not manage to do it.
It comes up with an error that it si not able to copy cidunlocked.bin but then it says that the phone is unlocked. but when i tryed to uppgrade the rom it says that it is not posible because of wrong vedner id.
I have tryed using aWizard-V1_3beta2 and Lokiwiz02b.
Downgrade to a 1.x Rom then CID unlock.
Hallo,
I have such quaint proble with CID lock. I have had CID unlocked MDA Vario, but I want to lock it for testing purposes of my ROMs. I have locked it by active pearl (my CID lock is WIZTMOC5), but it locked Device only for write different operators os.nb, but not IPL/SPL.
So, I have written cid.bin into my device from different machine and now I can flash only that known custom 1.5 ROM and ROMs who is possible to flash into the CID locked devices (only non edited ROMs without IPL/SPL)
I tryed to unlock it, but Active pearl write: The CID lock is: 11111111 (so It could be unlocked), then I tray unlock via aWizard and lokiwiz (both programs say: The unlock is done), but I still cant flash any original ROM.
Of course I have written the cid.bin what is backup to me active pearl.
Any way to unlock ? Do you can help me ?
EDIT: After flash 1.5 custom ROM I have spl 1.01 , but after I tryed to flash any original ROM, the SPL has changed into the 1.01.0000!! (very strange on my G3 device and 1.x ROM)
Hi People
I am new to upgrading. Before I get the business of "you have not read the posts" I have read the posts. That's why I am writing here. The more I read, the more contradicting it is. I have the following:
T-Mobile MDA Unlocked SIM
IPL/SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
I know this is a G4, but I have read that you can flash a ROM to an locked CID, but other areas say you cannot. I also have seen many different guides to flash, but some say the CID have to be unlocked others don't. I also have not seen whether the original ROM is saved in case you want or need to put it back. I have also read that you may have to input the GSM settings (I use Rogers in Canada). I bought this unit on eBay unlocked and all I had to do was put in my SIM card and it worked. Will the same happen if I upgrade the ROM? I find after reading so many threads it seems so confusing and was hoping someone here could help me out as you all seem to love flashing ROMs.
Thanks so much in advance,
Mike

hi,
ok,now let me try to explain in plain words,
1. U cannot for sure upgrade to a newer rom untill u r CID unlocked, now as u say u got ur wizzard from ebay.now it must have come with a pre-installed OS,plz check from which carrier it is from.If its Cid locked than it can only be upgraded with that official rom from which it came pre-installed with. But if u want to upgrade to some other wm6 cooked rom than u'll have to get it Cid unlocked.
now to upgrade,do the following:-
a)If u want to upgrade with official rom from which it came preinstalled,than visit the official site and download the official rom for ur exact device and upgrade without any Cid unlocking process ,its fairly self explanatory,how to upgrade with official rom as it comes with a self upgrade romutility.
b) if u want to upgrade to any other wm6 cooked rom,than i'am afraid u'll have to CID unlock ur device.As u say u have a G4 device there's a different procedure to Cid unlock it than G3.It's done with a utility tool called SHELLTOOL.search and read how to go about it.First download a tool "WST tool" by Mestrini ,install it and check if ur device is Cid locked or unlocked.If u find it locked than adopt the Cid unlock method through SHELL tool,if its already Cid unlocked than go ahead & flash with any wm6 rom.
As for ur question about sim unlocked,its different being from CID unlock.with sim unlocked u can put any carrier sim and use ur device.But with Cid unlock u can upgrade to any rom u desire.
Well, once SIM/CID unlocked it remains unlocked forever,unless u personelly don't lock SIM/CID.
Well,I believe if it came SIM unlocked, than it might be CID unlocked also.cuz all the carriers never give Sim unlocked.but than there might be some exceptions.therefore u must get it confirmed before any upgrade.
Hope I was able to clear some of ur doubts.goodluck

@zabardast_1 dude..
@Miker2006
Upgrading won't affect your Sim unlock status, it's permanent.
You don't NEED to CID unlock your phone to upgrade:
You can use Soft SPL to make the phone temporary think it's CID unlocked (while flashing).
Or you can semi-permanent let the phone think it's CID unlocked by Hard SPL.
This SPL will mimic a CID unlocked state, so you can flash all kinds of ROMs to your device.
BTW ShellTool WON'T cid unlock your device, Hard SPL is the closest you get to a Free CID unlock.
Best regards,
EquinoXe
PS. Read the stickies before Flashing, don't turn your wizard into a brick.
Actually it is a good show case that reading helps .. one day after his post Miker2006 did ..

I have a G3 8125 w/ SLP/IPL 2.25. If I flash a modded ROM after CID unlocking it. Is there a way to re lock the CID? Is there a way to re flash the Cingular ROM? How do I do this? THANX!
Once CID Unlocked, you can flash any Wizard ROM, even officials
Once the CID is unlocked can it be "relocked" ?
Hum... I don't think so...
Can the CID be backed up with wizbackup or similar app? Then if needed be restored after its been unlocked?

YUP !
You can SIM/CID relock to official settings, by restoring back with lokiwiz tool, the two bin files Lock_backup.bin and cidunlocked.bin,which were generated at the time of SIM/CID unlocking through lokiwiz.Well,if at all you did save those files,lol

Thank you Zabardast. For clarification the Lock_backup.bin and cidunlocked.bin files are automatically generated...correct? And where are they saved? And do I restore them? THANX!!

They are usually saved in the lokiwiz folder,the folder in which you intially extracted the lokiwiz.zip,well it must be C:\lokiwiz or else where you installed lokiwiz tool and performed sim/cid unlock
Hi
I have a HTC PM 200 from T Mobile. It has german language (win mobile 5) and I just want to update language from german to english.
I know that first of all I have to make a CID unlock. But because i have a AKU 2 SPL 2.06.0001 i can't make a CID unlock for this SPL. I read that I should try to do a CID unlock with lokiwiz03a. But this utlity (as far as I read) cannot make CID unlock ... just SIM unlock. Phone is already SIM unlock.
I tried even ''ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe'' following detailed info from forum but in the end: Vendor ID Error.
So I'm stuck with german language.
Any help guys ?
Thx!
You dont need to CID unlock your device, you just need the NO_ID RUU to flash another WM5 rom. You can find it somewhere in the Charmer Upgrading forum. Good luck.
I used: ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and the message is:
Vendor ID error.
or
Invalid Vendor ID
For ROM I Used: RUU_Charmer_1120223_11202110_11220_T-MobileUK_Ship
Phone is put in Bootloader mode but after that error above appears.
And most of the links from Charmer forum are 2 years old and are ''dead''.
