i'm a no0b @ this pda stuff. i got this phone about a week ago and i have successfully sim unlocked it so i can use it with tmobile. now i want to cid unlock it to put the qtek 9100 firmware (rom) on the phone. i have searched but i couldn't figure out how to unlock the cid portion. i have read in threads people asking if they can unlock the sim using version 0.3 of lockwiz and then unlock the cid using version 0.2. no one ever seems to answer that question. can someone please answer my question of how to unlock my phone in detail please. i'd greatly appreciate it.
thanks in advance.

Hello :
My frind wizard is ipl /spl 2.16 ( no more numbers)
Its a g3 ?
Do i need to cid unlock to go to wm6 ?
Wich version of wm6 do you all recomend ยป?
Thnks a Lot
If you read the wiki you will know that your friend have a G3 device. and you can flash wm6 rom wether you have CID unlock or lock but we recommend you unlock it..
Thnks ! But how can i see if it is unlocked or locked ?
What is the rom with wm6 that you recomend ?
Thnks
The easiest way to say whether your device is locked or unlocked is by sticking in a SIM-card from a provider that did not come with your device.
If it accepts it, and you are able to make a call your friend's device is unlocked, if it says something similar to unrecognized SIMcard or please insert a different SIM, the device is locked.
but unlocking the CID Unlocked device will not harm your device..
just to make sure..
Ok.
SIM LOCKED is The SAME as CID LOCKED ?
Thnks a lot
no!..
its different..

This just tests if your phone is SIM unlocked... doesn't prove that it's CID unlocked.
AFAIK, the only sure fire way to test if your phone is CID unlocked is to flash it with a different ROM that has ipl/spl. If you decide to do so though, I'd just recommend going through the g3 unlock procedure and know that it will be unlocked for sure.
Regarding which WM6 is recommended, just do a search or skim through the first few pages of threads... There have already been several polls regarding this. There is no "best" one... it all depends on what you are looking for. To start you off, some popular ones are: Most Beautiful Edition, PDAViet3, PDAViet4, Underground Edition and Orwell...
the best to do is not to check if you're a CID LOCK or UNLOCK..
just UNLOCK it even if its LOCK or UNLOCK..
atleast if you did.. you're so sure that now its unlock..
Thnks,
I will do.

Simple way to check CID is the type2 command in mtty
[I am currently @work, so I can't give the exact command]
If it returns SuperCID it means it's unlocked

If you personally haven't unlocked it it is most likely CID locked. For a G4 you will have to go to the pay site to CID unlock.
There is also a G4 sub-forum of the Wizard forum that might have a good bit of information that you would find useful.

Sorry about this dumb Q, but do I have to CID unlock before I SIM unlock?
Thanks to all.

Hi, yes it will stay unlocked for good . You can however relock it if you wish to do so in future.
