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.

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.
"I called T-M tech support. They confirmed that the ROM update would NOT return a previously unlocked MDA to a SIM-locked condition. Of course, I did NOT ask about the CID lock Embarassed

Can anyone verify whether or not a pre-sim unlocked and CID unlocked Wizard, after upgrading to TMO USA 2.26, returns to SIM and CID locked? I'll stick with cooked 2.24 if upgrading to 2.26 means it'll be locked again.

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

Is it a G3 or G4 and how much do you want for it?

If you have a cooked rom on it already, I'm guessing it is already unlocked. My suggestion, use the WST to do a check. CID unlocked allows for custom roms. SIM unlocking allows for other providers. A quick glance at the stickies or wiki would explain it more, that's why we have them. They will also help you determine what (if anything) needs to be done to your device.
