warnning; does not work with g4 wizards!!!!!
this steps are to cid unlock and also to unlock sim in the folowing devices; qtek 9100, i-mate k-jam, mda vario, orange spv m3000, o2 xda mini s, dopod 838, Cingular 8125
first; you must make a full backup of you wizard before doing this , I personally use [wizBackup.exe] posted below for my backups and restores. This is not mandatory but could save an enormous amount of trouble.
I as most people with a wizard with the aku2 rom found out that it cannot be cid unlock with lokiwiz tool, you will get the following;{error:itwritedisk-an internal error occurred}.
. that is till now.
downgrade rom here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7696581/htc%20wizard/CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
note- this steps is for unlocking the cid of the wizard with aku2 rom.
how to cid. unlock all wizard variants ( that have the latest rom build )
first download custom__ruu_wizard_1050412_wwe_101_11210_wwe. rom from the ftp site from the above link, unpack it and just click the romupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe to start downgrading. Simply follow the prompts.
after the rom are loaded go thru the initial setup as you would with any rom.
now download the (lokiwiz02b) from here;
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7696581/htc wizard/CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
Make sure you unzip lokiwiz to the root o the c: drive.
please copy the whole lokiwiz folder to the root of the drive,not the contentents of the folder!!!!!
and follow the instructions .do not forget to copy the cab file(enable rapi) to your device and run it before running lokiwiz.
Now run lockiwiz and unlock your machine, your machine will reboot itself. if yoy see an eroot while unlocking that says;
..............................................................................................................................................................................
CopyFileToTFFS(cidunlocked.bin:0, 0, 00010000)
ERROR: ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred.
this means that you device not been unloked......try again............
.................................................................................................................................................................................
That’s it your wizard is unlocked. Make sure yew keep the [lock_backup.bin] in a safe place you may need it for guaranty purposes.
Now flash the latest aku2 rom from your provider.- [very important,to avoid future problems wit rom updates]
then u can flash any rom you want.
question: if i cid unlock and sim unlock my phone (after installing custom 1.5 wwe rom) and then i install latest aku2 i-mate italian rom, will the sim unlock (and cid one too) be preserved?
Answer: i can confirm that that upgrading to the latest aku2 rom the wizard remains cid unlocked.
Special thanks to the author of the above cooked rom [button] also to machinagod for the lokiwiz tool and joninla for finding the downgrade rom, molski for is input and everyone that contributed to the cause.
do not try to downgrade using an older wizard rom other than the one posted above it will not work
also this {how to} is for the htc wizard only it may work with other devices but i don’t know, so if you turn you device into a brick do not blame me. use it at your own risk
if you device is from a operator like: 02, orange etc... You will void your guaranty unlocking cid, but don’t despair, if you keep the [lock_backup.bin] file that the lockiz tool generated you can restore cid to factory default.
this proccess only needs to be done once in the wizards lifetime.
Enjoy;
Jose faria.
donate if you like my work
Faria, can you tell me if this process will do it for the HTC Prophets with rom 2.x ???
I've got an imate JAMin with aku2 from factory. Just downloaded older Imate Rom... will try the process when i get home
8) wish me luck
maybe if you find an older rom for you device i only have a wizard.take a look at the lokiwiz tread i belive tha someone mentioned the HTC Prophets.

it may be possible,if you have an old custom rom for your device ,found this;
On the one hand, HTC Prophet is a complete copy (both software and hardware are meant) of HTC Wizard. On the other hand, it's equal to HTC Magician in appearance. That is why today review will be quite short, we will only discuss external elements and a new camera, all other aspects were highlighted in the review of HTC Wizard.
http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-prophet-en.shtml
Hi Faria, thank you for your HowTo!
Now i know the wizard remains CID unlocked after the upgrade and that's good. I only hope that it stays SIM unlocked too.
Bye
Sadly, cant move back to older rom... keep getting error message saying the nk.nbf file is not valid/older than your current file.
I guess we just have to wait for an updated version of Lockiwiz
sh*t forgot to post the address to the downgrade rom.here it ftp://xda:[email protected]__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe

I told you Faria that it can be done
Great that it worked out okay, I can imagine how happy you are feeling right now
Nice how-to by the way.
mm..i am currently using T-mobile MDA Vario with the original rom
is that mean i don't have to apply it to unlock the cid?
i just use the lokiwiz 2b to unlock the CID, after it, even i upgrade to the newest rom e.g. the new O2 rom, my CID still remain unlock?

Hello everybody !!
I just spent about 28 hours reading the threads in order to change my GERMAN O2 XDA MINI S (Wizard) ROM. Into an english one.
For that matter I know I need to unlock my CID, but since i have the latest ROM installed, IPL 2.21.001 and SPL 2.21.001 Lockwiz won't work !!!!
so I tried to Downgrade my Rom in order to make the Lockwiz work, but I am not able to find a suiting German Rom anywhere on the Net.
So I was wondering if nebody would be kind enough to tell me where to find and older German ROM or how I can avoid DOWNGRADING and simply unlock my CID
best regards ... Bayardo

Since you have a G4 boot chip (the tailing .001 in IPL and SPL tells that) you CANNOT downgrade your ROM to 1.x version.
DO NOT TRY INSTALLING A 1.X ROM: YOU'LL BRICK YOUR PPC!!! DO NOT FOLLOW FARIA's PROCEDURE TO CID UNLOCK 2.X PHONES: IT WON'T WORK IN YOUR CASE ('cos you've got a G4 boot chip).
This means that you will NOT be able to CID/SIM unlock your phone with lokiwiz 0.2b (however you can still use lokiwiz 0.3a to SIM unlock it, but no CID unlock).
But don't despair, you CAN still change your phone language and install whatever 2.x rom you like. The procedure to follow, however, is a bit different: you cannot simply download a rom you like and install it, you'll need to hack it a little first, but the results will be the same!
Basically, all you have to do is get the ROM you like (only 2.xx ROM!!!) and remove from it the IPL/SPL part. Then, you have to flash this 'hacked' rom using a slightly modified ROM Upgrade Utility (i can provide it to you if you want). With this method you're not going to replace the IPL/SPL (bootloader) of your phone so you don't need to CID unlock it (which, at the time i'm writing, is impossible).
To remove IPL/SPL from your ROM you have to extract the file nk.nbf from the ROM and get its content with typho5 tool (search this forum to have more info). Then you have to reassemble a new nk.nbf using nb2nbf. The new nk.nbf, of course, must NOT contain the IPL/SPL parts.
If you prefer, you can tell me what ROM are you interested in and i'll do the dirty work for you. Just let me know.

Hi risidoro,
I am trying upgrade my O2 German Wizrad G4 version into WWE, I followed your instruction & has used nb2nbf to compile a 2.xx rom without IPL & SPL. When I used the update utility to falsh the Wizard, the utility said something like: Error, this update utility is not for your device. etc.
I think I need to used your modified update utility , can you send it to me?
Also my other question is, when I use nb2nbf , what should I put in the model id for my German Wizard?
You advice can help me & many others to solve our headache in upgrading a G4 Rom! Cheers!

does this mean that its on a G3 chip and that i can use lokiwiz03a to CID unlock it and upload any 2.x ROM as i please? and downgrade the ROMs too?
@Bola: you have a 1.x ROM so you can CID unlock your phone with Lokiwiz0.2b (NOT 0.3a). Then you'll be able to install whichever ROM you like.
Bye
I've just published a tutorial that can help those with a G4 or G3 (>= 2.21) CID-Locked device to install whichever 2.x ROM they like.
The tutorial is here:

Hi,
I have a dutch HTC wizard/qtek 9100, with the AKU 2 NLD ROM.
I tried CID unlocking but noticed that didn't work with AKU 2,
Is it possible my phone isn't cid-locked? Is there a quick way to check?
How can I downgrade to an older rom version and what file should I use,
I tried this one: "RUU_Prodigy_1030710_110_10410_Qtek_NLD_Ship.exe"
but after restarting my wizard and loading the bootloader the update program gave an error claiming that it can only UPgrade to newer versions...
I suppose I cant use the wwe version or can I?
well, thanx in advance,
Bonusbartus
As written before, u need AKU 1 to CID unlock your phone..the only way to be sure is to unlock again. Use buttons rom.. downgrade to that... unlock the phone.. install the rom again so the IPL and SPL are the same..then you can switch to whatever rom you want. How ever, you havent shown what type of Wizard you have whether its a G3 or a G4..the above method is what i used for my G3 Wizard
I have a g3 wizard,
so I can use that rom, I don't need a dutch version or something else?

1. Thank-you for posting in a new thread and not in a ROM release thread.
2. Do you have a G3 or G4 (what is your IPL/SPL?)
2a. If you have a G3 read the Sticky post The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards.
2b. If you have a G4 log onto the IMEI pay site (links all over the place) and pay to get your phone unlocked.
3. IF you have a G3 rom you must downgrade to CID unlock. It isn't possible to CID unlock from AKU2 or higher (read the sticky, it tells you what you need to do)
4. The best thing to do if you are unsure is to just repeat the unlock procedure. It won't hurt a thing if you are already unlocked, but will unlock you if you are locked.
5. Don't do anything flash related until you know for sure, beyond a doubt which version of Wizard you have (G3 or G4) If you have a G4 and use G3 procedures you WILL most likely ruin your device.
6. You won't get this error if you follow the steps in the correct order from the upgrade guide.
7. Good Luck

With your G3 just follow the steps, in order, from the sticky and you should be able to end with whatever ROM you choose. Some of the steps may not make sense but, they are necessary and prevent common issues if followed correctly.
Well, I do have a G3 so I can follow the tutorial,
ipl and spl are 2.18,
only question left, CAN I downgrade to the wwe rom in the tutorial? that's what I wanna know, because I now have a nld rom, can I flash to the wwe rom in the tutorial without CID-unlocking?
well I think I just try
thanx
oh btw, any recommendations on which rom to flash to after unlocking? and I saw something about radio only roms and page-pools what would u recommend there?
ok just got my wizard back from HTC who repaired the screen for 180 dollars.
Instead of a "repair" they sent me a whole new cingular 8125. Now my rom says 2.25.11.1
Is this g3 or g4.. and which rom should I downgrade to before cid unlock
Congrats, you have a new baby ?? wizard?

Looks like a G4 What is the IPL/SPL when you boot?
hmmm
its 2.25. I think the rom they put on there is just a new rom from htc maybe. Instead of a repair of a broken screen they sent a whole new 8125 so it must be a g3 huh?

Try this rom to downgrade your SPL Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102
It should work and then you can continue with the CID unlock.
yea thanks thats acutally what i am doing right now I hope it works on 1st time and i dont have to do it 9 times
ok I have a question about this rom. do i put the RUU and ENTERBOOTLOADER onto the phone. how about the nbf file.

no you want to extract the zip/rar file to its own folder and then just run the RUU.exe file. It will do everything else for you.
Once you flash it, update me with your results.
wow ok this is really weird. i run the update utility which looks just like the button rom, and it has the same spl and everything! I have no clue what to do I cant get the spl from 2.25

Its the newest version of lokiwiz that should work on a 2.xx SPL and you shouldn't have to downgrade.
Once you run lokiwiz, then use Wizard Service tools to read the CID and make sure it is unlocked.
first im gonna try to dload that rom you just gave me again,. but do u think the loiki will work with ipl-1.05 and spl 2.25

WAIT! Your IPL was changed to 1.05? If it is, your ready to use lokiwiz. The SPL does not change with that rom because the rom isn't CID unlocked yet. LOL.
Go ahead and run lokiwiz and then use the wizard service tool from my last post to read the CID and make sure it is CID unlocked.
Update me with your results and I will help you with the whole process. I've been through it before so I know what needs to be done.
ipl-1.05
spl-2.25
i dont get why both those roms are 1.05
are you sure the spl is not supposed to be changed because ive had the WST and it tells me to downgrade SPL to CID unlock.
lokiwiz 0.3 a says WITHOUT cid unlock
Well what I am trying to do is upgrade to a WM6 Rom and you have to have a spl of 1.x to do this am I correct? and also it needs to be CID unlocked, which lokiwiz 0.3a does not do... am i stuck or what

Ok I see that you are confused.(No big deal TRUST ME...) I previously had a G4 and always used shelltools to flash roms and had no Idea what I was doing when I dove into this CID unlocking thing but here is step by step what you need to do.
1. Download button rom and flash to device and you will see IPL 1.05 and SPL of 2.25
2. Connect to device but do not sync. Just cancel when connecting and connect as guest.
3. Run Lokiwiz and first press U. This will SIM unlock your device and your device will soft-reset itself.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 only now press C instead of U. Lokiwiz will now CID unlock your device and it will soft-reset itself.
5. This time when activesync tries to connect to your device, syncronize it with your PC.
6. Install and run WST and and under CID options, click read CID. It will tell you in plain english if your device is still locked or CID unlocked.
7. If it tells you your device is CID unlocked, proceed to step 8, if not repeat steps 1-6.
8. If your device was successfully CID unlocked, download T-Mobile Official WM5 rom and flash it to your device. You will now have a strong 2.26 IPL/SPL.
9. Allow customization to finish and then the device will soft-reset itself.
10. Now flash the 3.08 IPL/SPL to your device for faster boot time.
Now your finished. Your device is now CID unlocked and has a strong IPL/SPL as a base to flash any WM6 rom you please.
Once you have done this, post results here so if it did not work, I can try to help you figure out what went wrong.

Well what I am trying to do is upgrade to a WM6 Rom and you have to have a spl of 1.x to do this am I correct? and also it needs to be CID unlocked, which lokiwiz 0.3a does not do... am i stuck or what

Try using this version of lokiwiz instead. lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker UPDATE Version 0.2b
ok i get every single step on here except..
version 0.3a does not give me any unlock options in the DOS... i am going to try 0.2b right now

i don't know whats the problem with appunlocking... there are 5 Regkeys that have to be set,... it stands all in wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Breeze_Registry
Application Unlock

GREATLY APPRECIATED! finally some good explainations. so let me get this straight,
SSPL = application unlock? (im asking this because i already have my phone app unlocked using SDA security unlock software)
i have a dopod 595 and,
my IPL is 0.90 (do i need to update this?)
SPL is 2.05 (so i need to use the SPL>1.09)
radio is 1.06.00.10 (do i need to update this?)
RIL is 2.002
do i need to update anything before i try your WM6.1? which is the latest versions (IPL,Radio) you would recommend and can you please provide the links too. also, will the forward facing video call camera work with your ROM?
from wiki, it looks like there is the Radio:1.38.00.10 Protocol:32.71.7020.12H RIL:2.002 SPL:1.10.0000 ROM, and other older Radio ROMs but with newer SPL. so in order to update my radio, do i need to flash the entire ROM into my phone, or can i just use a Radio ONLY rom updater?
Please bear with me, because i really do not want to brick my phone.
Admin, please make this thread sticky. cheers

I have I-Mate SPJas. I have tried several unlock tools including HTC Unlock toll, resgistry edit, SDA Unlock....
My original SPL version was 2.05 and after I ran SPL file I had IPL=SPL by des and SPL=7......
I have also applied other methods and my phones seems to be application unlock. But when I try to upload a new rom the phone goes to blank. I could never prevent this condition.
Is there a way to update Imate SPJas to Win 6.1? Which ROM works?

HARDSPL

this will allow to flash any rom from any cid so that you will not break devices due to wrong cid
BR

you must get to windows
what is your current cid?
i have a dopod 595 device, the breeze with forward facing video call camera, so it's a breeze 160. it's a Qtek_Z12 device and the region is WWE.
before you posted the new herm radio, i successfully updated to your beta WM6.1 using your unlocking SSPL guide. i never upgraded the SPL though. the original phone's IPL and SPL are IPL0.9 and SPL2.05.
so what i did was first to upgrade to the latest WWE 1.38 using your unlocking/SSPL guide, then upgrade to your WM6.1 beta. everything worked fine. i do notice that only the IPL has been upgraded, and the SPL remains 2.05. so i ignored it.
it was when you posted the new herm radio upgrade i then decided to update my SPL as well. so as per your instructions in the unlocking guide, i first unlock the phone (WM6.1), perform the SPL1.09 update. it was successful. phone booted up just fine. then i run the official WWE 1.38 (the same one i used before upgrading to WM6.1 beta). and this time i did not run the DES soft SPL ( i must have forgotten and thought the phone is unlocked anyway). the RUU started, and the flashing failed at 1% giving an invalid vendor ID error message (as expected because my phone is not superCID and i forgot to run DES SSPL). after this little incident, i canot boot my phone anymore.
so i tried to recover it using various methods. and i successfully flashed back the original WM5 WWE dopod 595 ROM by using the latest RUU from 1.38 with old WWE WM5 nbh. the flashing completed 100%, the phone reboots, and still stuck at the second boot screen. IPL has been downgraded to 0.9 and SPL remains 1.09.
this is what i get

you can not do anithing
your ipl does not know how to load spl1.09
send the phone to repair and flash hardspl when it returns
there are many people with your problem
till now we have found not found any solution
BR
my phone is out of warranty, so sending for repair will cost me a lot. we'lll keep our fingers crossed and hope you guys can find a solution for us soon. thank you
i think, SPL version is very confusing. 2.05 is older than 1.09?
Would be good to have compatibility list between SPL and IPL versions to not mess and brick device.
I guess i was lucky, because i updated my breeze to resently posted HardSPL (thanks to jerpelea) and device still alive.
I found that RUUUpdateUt.exe i've used for DES SoftSPL is not working with HardSPL anymore. It cost me a bunch of my nerves (no body mentioned this fact!). Again luckily i found that stock RUU upgrade utility works fine with HardSPL (i just removed all dialogs except first for convenient use).
Well, at last, now i don't need to flash stock firmware (with radio ROM update which is extremely dangerous) every time when one of my cooked ROM refuses to work normally.
