Help unlocking 8125 G4 (stock) - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Ok guys....I need a point in the right direction for unlocking info.
I have a Cingular G4 which Id like to have SIM unlocked for use with Tmobile.
I have read and searched this forum for info...and have read many pages of useful info.
I came across info regarding the CID unlock....but for now I am only interested in unlocking the SIM.
I dont want to pay 25.00 to unlock...if it can be done by me and a tutorial.
Additional info of my 8125 in listed in my signature.
Hook up a noobie, please.

hey
comeon u people... help me out here... i went through search and read lot of things talking about unlocking.. but noone gives u a straight easy msg...
some unlock your sim but can not unlock CID... but noone explained what CID means .. called id??
pls help me out.. i'm trying to look for info.. but i can't seem to find an easy guide.. i'm not lazy.. if thats what ur thinking.
Unlocking CID is for flashign ROM.
At your current knowledge, I won't suggest you to flash your ROM. Flashing your ROM without much knowledge can potentially kill your phone.
Just unlocking your phone (SIM unlock) is sufficient for now. I think aWizard can SIM unlock your phone.
hey
yeh i'm fairly newbie with this kinda stuff... u mentioned awizard can SIM- unlock my phone.. how do i contact him.. or is there any link you can guide me to.. thanks hanmin. - adil
At this page, there is a line on top of the page, that looks like this

At the next screen, type in aWizard
and click on the result into the thread and get the file. Looks for the real thread though.

Very newbie question (frustratred with this simple question!)

Ok I have just bought this phone and I come from modaco.
I am so confused!
I have a like new MDA Vario with a G4 Chipset and an AKU2 rom (tmobile rom).
I just dont have a clue where to find the sim unlock and CID unlocker to enable me to stick my orange sim in and install farias rom.
BTW Faria am looking forward very much to installing your rom!
Im so confused
Thanks in advance
Sam
p.s I have searched for about 2 hours and i cant find anything, any more information you need just ask thanks!

Thank you I saw this post, but i doesnt actualyl explain how to CID unlock the device.
It says you cannot CID unlock G4 or G3 but i know the G3 CID unlock is possible.
And is there a Sim unlock for G4 around?
so far, no one had found a way to CID unlock G4 ROMs yet... If you are really THAT desperate, go use one of the commercial unlock services available online...
ah, ok.
thanks for clearing that up for me.
Yeh I really need to use an orange sim card in my vario.
Ho hum! looks like ill have to fork out £20!
Are there any other cheaper unlockers around?
Thanks
Sam
i know of no other companies that provides SIM unlocking service other than imeicheck, so that's the only option you have right now...
next time, try to keep the forum clean and post your questions within the related thread itself... it'll help a lot by reducing the clutter, and when others do the search, the results will come out better...
anyway. glad to be of help to you...
ok mate all unlocked!
Thanks very much for all your help!

This is the #1 most asked question here. Take some time and research. There are several stickies that will lead you through the process. Though I would suggest ONLY READING until you determine if you have a G3 or G4 and understand and accept ALL risks including the possibility of ruining (bricking) your device before you start actually unlocking/flashing.
Read, Read, Read. The information is already here in step by step format.
If you have a question with the process AFTER you have read it then feel free to ask for help.

First perform a soft reset of your phone. When the versions numbers appear on the splash screen look for IPL and SPL. If they end in .001 you have a G4 and can only use ROMs that do not include IPL/SPL code. The ROM description will tell you or if it does not you can download it and check for yourself. Use the search term "typho5.exe" for help with this. Otherwise you have a G3 (much better supported) and should read this ENTIRE thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
Thanks baarod.
Man sometimes I'm SO confused... I mean, for real! I create a thread titled "[READ FIRST] The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards "... (the READ FIRST is an attention getter, no?)
My moderator buds make it a sticky so it stays very close to the top of the page...
I mean, what more can we do?????
Folks, PLEASE at least show some inclination to doing some research before posting. Yes there's no such thing as a stupid question... or is there????

Have you really searched??? I'll even make it easier for you and give you hints to look at the stickied topics at the top of the forums. There are at least 2 that pertain to unlocking that are tried and true (for G3 devices).
As for the links being dead, some are being updated, and if you search PirateBay you can most likely find stuff needed.
Hey Man, Thanks i looked at Pirate Bay. Thats also dead meaning no seeders or anything. if you have the file you think u can upload it for me please? Thanks.

It really is all in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 (granted some of the links might be toast since the ROM's got pulled, but if you copy the names and google them, you'll find what you need.)

CID Unlocked my G4: Now What?!

Hola everyone: so I plunged in and spent my 20quid for CID unlocking (www.imei-check.co.uk) my g4 o2 xda mini-s this morning, and that completed OK.. question is - now what?
I've got the o2 software on it at the moment (so can't GPRS properly with it) so wanted to switch the software. What's the best rom - where do i find it - and how do i load it!?
..
there's way "too much" information flying around on this site sometimes it's mind-blowing..
now that i've CID Unlocked it; can i just put on the TNT wm6 ROM??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341550
You could have unlocked it yourself for free on this forum - I unlocked mine using info from this forum.
I'm running XM6r4 at the moment and liking it - see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346478
Although I believe r5 is out now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1759543
ah well. but now that's done i can just go and install any of those things without further faffing?!
I think so - but then I'm a newbie so perhaps a more experienced member can help you out
like i said. WAY TOO much info on here sometimes. i like it fast and hard. i stole christmas.
ok off to 'ave a go at a new rom. though i should get caffeine first. cheers for replying
GRRR: Tried to run the rom update tool and keep getting error 300?! Invalid ROM image or something?!
You said you liked it fast and hard... what do you expect?
Where do you guys come from?...
Like you said, there is a lot of information on the forums. Its there for some reason! Use the search functionality of the forum and you shall find precise answers for your questions.
mebbe i should write a 'UK o2 XDA mini-s' upgrading wiki
all done now - found a link for the error 300 and got wm6 on OK
of course still can't browse the web - but i think this is an o2 PAYG 'feature'

You should!! I've tried it tonight and got stuck at the preloader screen - waiting for feedback on how to proceed [got a black linux screen rather than a white one as detailed in the crib sheet so didn't do the hard spl rom update - banged out instead]
What's your prob with web browsing - I have the Mini S on o2 and can access web via GPRS [at huge cost, mind you].
