Hi all,
Being new to this and knowing what could happen to your phone, I want to know if you can check if LokiWiz has worked.
Yesterday I tried if the sim lock was gone and it has, but what about the CID?
Please let me know if it is possible to check.
Device specifics:
Qtek 9100, via Vodafone NL.
ROM1.3.7.10 NLD
ROM Date: 9/29/05
Radioversion: 01.04.10
Protcolversion: 4.0.13.17
ExtRom version: 1.3.7.8012
Thanks,
Bas
Did you use LokiWiz for only unlocking your SIM or also for CID?
SIM and CID unlock are both different options in LokiWiz.
You can check if SIM unlock has worked by changing SIM card and
you can check if CID unlock has worked by upgrading your device to the latest ROM (that's the only reason why anyone would CID unlock their device ).
Good Luck.
I did both.
I did a SIM unlock, and the test worked out fine. I swapped cards with a collegue who has a T-mobile card. Worked.
I did also a CID unlock. But I don't know if that worked. Is there a way to test. Or can I go and duo the upgrade. Does that one check if the CID is gone?
Thanks in advance for the answer.

Errm ive neva done an upgrade but if your CID is not unlocked i would assume the phone would turn into a brick....but remember thats an assumption :!:
Guys,
I just did the jump at the deep end and ....... kept swimming. :lol:
The upgrade went well. At the moment I'm reinstalling all my software.
Thanks for the answers.

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.
I am seeking any expert's idea on CID unlock issue. I searched around and could only find this one. If anyone knows the answer upfront, appreciate.

Maybe you upgrade the AKU 3,3???
The lokwiz work only the IPL 2 (aku 2.0)
Can you write the unlock cod in MDA C II???
hi there,
thanks for reply,
i have the latest t-mobile rom so probably not aku 2.
is there any way to downgrade to aku 2. i have searched the forums with no joy.
IPL and AKU are two different things
You cant downgrade to boot v2 if you have already upgraded it to v3.x. Thats the answer I got from T-mobile.

Download the Lokwiz03!
If the folder have 2 bin fajl,then delete.
Run lockwiz
then write the unlock code
You put the other SIM (not T-mobile)
Write the PIN and then look the UNLOCK you must press.
Then write THE UNLOCK CODE and you have the UNLOCKED phone .
This Work with IPL 3 (AKU 3,3 T-mobile rom)

I had the same problem.
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
Read some more and took a chance and it worked

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 ..

Besides, i have an unlocked t-mobile mda (G3). Would it become locked if i apply the new ROM?
Thank you for bearing with me.

Yes! its safe to download from rapidshare.G3 phone once CID unlocked remains unlocked ever after,flashing an official rom doesn't put a CID lock again
CID Locked!
Sorry for bothering again.
Wizard service tool (WST) is telling me that my phone is cid locked. But i am using it on another carrier (not tmobile) in pakistan. So is it really cid locked then? If it really is locked, is it advisable to upgrade the rom to the one provided by tmobile? I mean, is there any chance that it would become locked? or should i cid unlock it first (using WST) and then upgrade?
Thanks

Ok,I'll try to explain what is SIM_Lock and CID_Lock,they both are entirely different functions.
SIM_Lock:-
SIM is the abbrevation of Subscriber Identity Module . it Hold the IMSE (International Mobile Subscriber Identity ) and TMSI (Temparery Mobile Subscriber Identity)
Feature which would lock a phone to a specific network or set of networks. Used by providers that subsidize the phones to make sure the customers stay with the provider that got them the phone.
Some phones are locked to the specific telco from which you purchase your phone, eg you can't use a locked O2 phone using a Vodaphone SIM/smart card. To use SIM card from other telco, you need to SIM unlock your phone. Note: In general, the phrase 'unlock your phone' usually refers to SIM-unlock, not CID unlock.
In Pakistan,Phones are sold as SIM Unlocked,thats why any SIM of any Network works with them.
CID_Lock:-
Carrier Id - commonly used in the form `CID-Unlocking`. If you purchase your phone (example) from Qtek (Qtek is the 'carrier'), your phone will only accept Qtek ROMs (the carrier's ROMs). If you want to flash ROMs from other carrier, you'll need to CID-unlock your phone, so that your phone will accept other ROMs. Note: In general, the phrase 'unlock your phone' usually refers to SIM-unlock, not CID unlock.
So,Phones sold in Pakistan are usually SIM_Unlocked but they are not CID_Unlocked.
Now,if its running a T-mobile Rom (OS) then YES! you can upgrade to the latest T-Mobile rom,there's no need to CID_Unlock the phone,but if you want to upgrade to any latest Custom Build WM6.1 Rom,then definitely,you'll have to CID_Unlock the phone.
Thank you
Thank you
