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.

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.

is it safe to install a ROM downloaded from rapidshare? what if the file has been meddled with?
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

Att Tilt How To Unlock Sim?

IN BOOTLOADER MODE IT SHOWS
KAISI*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
How can i unlock it? if I put any other sim rather then ATT its show SIM LOCK
Please help
Thanks

Maybe you should read the WIKI to start. But I used KaiserUnlocker to unlock my sim card, but that is what I did. You do what you want, but I would first suggest again that you READ THE WIKI.

just like kdkobes said please read the wiki. The question you ask has been answered many times, trust me i asked it. but the info is there.
and secondly, if you got the phone "legally" and are an att customer all you had to do is dial "611" from your phone get in touch with att and they will give you the sim unlock code for your device ... ; just tell them you are going oversees (use a country like pakistan were att doesn't provide service) and need the unlock code .. i did it and they gave me the code in 5 minutes. Or you can use pof's hardspl which will unlock your cid and sim install olipro's spl (enabling u to flash new roms to your phone).
But going back to statment one, please read the wiki
cheers,

Calling AT&T vs. HARDSPL
If you get AT&T to give you a SIM Unlock code, do you still need to run HARDSLPL to install a cooked ROM?

Yes. There you got your free answer without needing to search. Everyone gets one.
SIM Unlocking just allows you to put any GSM carriers SIM card in your phone and it will work. HardSPL changes the boot loader so you can update the Roms.

Downgrade to 6.0

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
If you want to unlock your phone to use on another carrier, just follow the steps on this wiki:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser

My current phone is

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?
Liquidd.

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

and you are done.
You really should read until your eyes actually bleed. j/k

That worked great. Thanks a lot.
