SOLUTION FOUND -CID/sim UNLOCKING FOR WIZARD WITH AKU2 ROMS.

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;

donate if you like my work

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

You mean to use the wizard rom on the prophet?

dont do that it may turn the prophet into a brick the only way is to find an old custom rom for your device. take a look at the ftp site it may have one there.
sorry

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?

Need help !!

Hi everyone
I'm new on this so be kind please
I have a MDA Vario (great pda) on english
ROM 2.17.7.2 WWE
i do want to flash it to 2.18 on Dutch, when i do i get a VENDER ID error.
So i used Awizard to unlock the CID first en then option W to flash the rom. I use 1.13 beta 2.
But when i select it (optionW) there are no ROM's availlable i have extraxt the ROM package in the ROM dir.
It is a nk.nbf file and when i am reading other threads i seem to need a *. NBA file ??
Anyone have a clue ?
Many thanks
Dave

Just unlock the CID and upgrade it with the Rom Update Package (the executable with the Rom and update program).
Should work without any problems.
Good luck.

Sending Back- want to flash to HTC ROM

I am using Summiters old 2.26 ROM, and have to send back in the phone, so I want to flash it to the HTC Rom from the HTC site, but just wondered if that would have issues or not.
My IPL SPL is 2.24 and the HTC ROM is dated newer then mine.
Think I will run into problems?

You could always flash the original rom with the noid RUU if you run into anything. Just place the nk.nbf in the same directory. And might I suggest that you CID-relock your phone prior to sending it to a service center as that procedure usually voids the warranty.

Wao
Good info thanks, although I will admit to being a noob at this so should I re-lock the device, then run the htc rom?
Your advice on the nk.nbf is strictly based on the HTC rom not loading?
Regarding the relock, where can I find a relock tool? I remember ages ago downloading and running an app called lockwiz, is that right?

yeah, lokiwiz does the unlocking but if you didn't save the output file I don't know how you are going to re-lock. Doubt they will even check that as long as you have a stock rom on the device though, so you should be ok.

So Then...
The original thought should suffice, using the stock ROM from the HTC should load ok.

I am kinda in the same boat. I need to send my 8125 in for repair. I currently have Molski's ROM. I tried to go back to the ROM for my phone from Cingular and I am getting an error 296 Upgrade only. I have tried both Cingular ROM and get the same error.
Would the nk.nbf file pretain to me? If so where do I find it and how do I use it?
Sorry - I am a noobie to flashing the ROM's so any help would be greatly appreciated.

ORIG STOCK Cingular ROM
I believe this is one of the Original Shipped ROM from Cingular.

The exact error I am getting is:
ERROR [296]: UPGRADE ONLY
This NBF file cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get newer NBF file.
What is the NBF file and how do I get and use it?

I tried that before I posted. I get the same error afterwards.
I finally got the old Cingular ROM installed but cannot go to the new ROM.
I broke down and contacted HTC. Basically they told me to do a warranty replacement.
Thanks for everyone's help.

copy the 3 files into the root of the phone and run spl.lnk
this is the software spl loader
is an modded spl that is loaded into ram permiting you to flash any CID
.nb is the actual spl
.exe is the loader
.lnk is an text file (open in notepad)
BR

thanks jerpelea !but which do the first? upgrading with the wwe or upgrading with this .nb file for first? you are a great man! you are very nice!

this nb file is loades every time you want to flash an new rom
this .nb is not flashed to the device is loaded from an functional phone
so i don't understand your question
just follow the guide

thanks! just copy these three files to my device and upgrade my phone with the wwe rom, right?

ERROR [244] INVALID MODEL ID how to get the solution.

when I flash my t-mobile wing. the RUU shows ERROR [244] INVALID MODEL ID
is there any one can help me?
Thanks in advance

Is your device HardSPL'd?
and don't mind the spam guy. Actually, consider yourself lucky. Very rarely do they choose your post as a spam receptacle

Thanks mate, what do you means "Is your device HardSPL'd?"
IPL: 4.17.0002
SPL: 4.70.YANG
please check. why I can not flash my WING with that ROM
But I can flash my wing with os.nb
what's the problem?

asergs method bypasses the cid lock
check your pm

can you post Aserge solution here please?

aserg's method is an outdated way of flashing a rom. It was used in the earlier roms posted on the forum (like the one jimmysong tried to flash)
to use, you will need to find the cab pack for it. Check some of the older touch-it roms for the cabs (especially the non-wm6.1 ones like touchit 2)
from there, remove the os.nb file. Use nbh extract to extract the windows.nb file from an .nbh file that you get after you download a rom. rename that to os.nb. and place that in the folder that the original os.nb was in.
follow the instructions very closely and TO THE LETTER. When using aserg's method to flash, nothing will happen. Or so it seems. Be patient until the .bat prompts tell you that it's ok to hard reset your phone.

Thanks in advance mates!

You can't flash the stock RUU after HardSPL'ing your phone. (You both have HardSPL.) The RUU tries to write over the SPL (which is called HardSPL for a reason...) and it also expects the CID to match the default tmobile RUU.
If you want to go back to a stock ROM you have two options.
Extract the os.nb out of that RUU (which is what Rick GM is talking about) and recreate the NBH without the SPL or use USPL to bypass the CID check.
