Hi,
I have a 12 month old mini s and the contract is about to expire. I have an Orange sim card I would like to use in the phone. Is it just a matter of unlocking the sim card? or can I easily change the rom to an Orange version without to much hassle?
regards, Pete
Yes... make sure you follow the steps in this thread... that should get you to where you want to go...
Good luck

I have mda 3 locked to t-mobile and they can't provide me with unlock code.
Is there any other way to unlock this device ?

hi! i have a mda III, until now you only can get the unlock code by paying 15 pounds to T-Mobile. I tkink that soon will appear an unlock tool on this web page, like xda2unlock.exe for the XDA II.
Do you know if we could unlock the mda III by changing the entire ROM (including the extended rom and the radio rom) for the Qtek 9090 one? If someone knows it, please let us know. Thanks.
You can't unlock the phone by changing the rom.
Then, where the simlock is located? out of the ROM perhaps? I don´t understand because all the devices (MDA III, Qtek 9090, Imate PDA2K...) are the same gadget and all come from HTC, so all its parts except for the ROM program would have to be equal. If you know the answer, please, let me know. Thanks.
where is the rom
Sure, the simlock is in the rom
so, changing the rom by sd card on boot loader is for me the solution
you have to test it
Could you be litle more specific about changing rom with sd card on MDA3 ?
Did you try this ?
I upgraded my T-Mobile MDA to the newest ROM and everything is great... now I want to do the same for my Cingular 8125 except that I need it unlocked for use with AT&T. It's running good with the stock ROM and it's unlocked... but I want the newest ROM on it.
Question is, how can I upgrade to the newest ROM and be assured it will be unlocked? It's a phone I use A LOT (!!!) so if it can't be unlocked after I do the upgrade, I'm screwed.
Thanks!
I thought once unlocked always unlocked. i upgraded my 8125, but i also use Cingular's service.
I need someone to confirm that then, I can't afford for it to be locked after the upgrade... and the upgrade should fix some of the problems I've been having.
SIM and CID unlocked my MDA Vario with Lokiwiz and after that installed 2 different ROMs and it still unlocked...
what do you need to be unlocked specifically, what ability do you need, and I can try it on my phone possibly.
I want to be able to make calls with my AT&T SIM card, and I'm using MMode for internet.
Well, here goes nothing... thought I'd just hope it works... 1% done so far.
Worked great, thanks for the suggestions guys
good to hear.
Hi Guys,
Firstly, i am new to this - so if i ask any stupid Q's, please forgive me
I will be getting my MDA Vario tomorrow, and before i do too much customisaton and transfer my phonebook over, i would like some advice on upgrading.
From reading this Forum, i believe that I have to do a CID unlock and a SIM unlock. I am familier with a SIM unlock, but what it a CID unlock?
Also, from what i can gather, in order to do this - i have to downgrade to an older version of the rom first. Once i have done this and unlocked the device, does anyone have any recomendations on what ROM i should upgrade it to? I have heard the Qtek rom is a good one, but will is this the best one to be going for?
Thanks for your input guys. You can be asured, once i get familier with this device i shall be providing much imput to this forum!

Hi, I'm new to WM5/vario as well (experienced on palms & treos).
You only need to unlock the wizard if you want to use another suppliers SIM card, and to get rid of the T-Mobile stuff you need to remove the Carrier ID (CID), so you can then change the rom to another one not recognised by your TMobile rom.
I understand, but could be wrong, that you only need to down grade if your device already has one of the latest a2dp stereo roms with push email built in.
Hope this helps (if I'm right)!!!
Hello,
I have a Vodafone v1405 Spain, or the HTC MTeor, and I ca'nt sim-unlock the unit.
I've tried a lot of methods, and I can't change the bootloader version.
Every time, I receive INVALID ID, or THIS UPGRADE IS NOT FOR YOUR DEVICE.
What can I do?
If I pay at imei-check.com for the unlock, how the simlock status will be afected if I upgrade to WM6 in the future?
If it's possible, I'd like the NON PAYING method for the unlock...
Br,
Jordi

Same problem!....help please
But my v1405 is sim unlocked.
Finally, I paid for the unlock solution.
Check http://www.imei-check.com/c700unlock.php
They will send you the file for the program.
Fast solution.
I paid 30€ EUR.
bYe.

Hi Jordi,
I'm from Spain too, I suposed you have the same phone, vodafone v1405. I have the sim locked problem solved, but I'm getting crazy trying to upgrade to a new ROM.
Thanks
I tried a lot of versions, and finally worked the ROM version 1.34.251.1 and RADIO 1.38.00.10
If you want, send me a private.

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

Can someone please help me figure out what to do? Do I, or do I not downgrade before I can sim/cid unlock?
My current phone is
R 1.65.21.18
G 25.88.40.05h
D 3.57.00.00
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
and you are done.
You really should read until your eyes actually bleed. j/k
That worked great. Thanks a lot.
