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
Faria, can you tell me if this process will do it for the HTC Prophets with rom 2.x ???

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
sorry guys

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?

imate k-jam
rom versio: 1.5.4.2
WM5
how can i upgrade it to WM6?
i need to unlock the CID, but how?
please help me.. thanks!
Read the two Stickys at the top of the forum page!!!!
Or -- READ THE WIKI!!!!!
i done it. but still, i doesn't unlock the CID.
i can't install a new rom version (it install it fine but looks the same as WM5)
do you really want to unlock?
whats your purpose? to upgrade to newer OS?
you can use shelltool to upgrade without unlocking..
hello
i bought a HTC Herald(p4350, not tmo wing) yesterday.
i flashed the wm5 to wm6, but they aren't so good..
i would like to flash a new rom (touch it 2.*) but i think the device is CID-Locked.
in htc wizard there was a tool: lockwiz.bat
which unlocked my device (g3)
question is:
are there any program or sg, that unlocks, and "RE LOCKS" ( because of the warranty) my pda?
i need a guide also, and i don't like to pay for it (i am student)
please help me!
regard, pulyka
I flashed my wing without having to CID-unlock it .............. so I doubt you will need to CID-unlock your p4350
To flash a rom, you can use aserg's method.
When you DL a rom, you recieve bunches of other files.
First install a fresh RUU.
Then, install aserg policies.cab, then soft reset.
Then click an run 1_UPGRADE_ROM.bat
Wait and don't touch your herald.
When it says its done, hard reset and voila!
thank you Jamaican!
can i use this rom: Touch-It for CID locked wings! ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332998 )?
and is that a problem that i have black htc herald, and not blue t-mo wing?
or they are exactly the same devices internally, and the difference is only the covers?
fzzyrn: thank you too, where can i find guide?
They are exactly the same device, just defferent outside design and keyboard layout ............... you can try the touch-it v2.0 by itje located here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334323
make sure to read the text file in the package first before attempting the update
thx!
i will try it tomorrow
You can use the Touch-IT 2.0 without any problem, i have a p4350 cid locked and works fine with the aserg´s method
Hello everybody,
I bought a P4350 from Spain a few days ago and "unfortunately" the Spanish HTC Official WM6 upgrade was already installed on it. This means that my phone is CID Unlocked so I cannot install an English WM6 version. (I tried to, but in vain...).
I've tried several WM5 device CID unlocking methods, but they all failed.
Can anyone help me?
Unfortunately there is not much information on the web for HTC Herald CID Unlocking as there is for other HTC's (Wizard, Hermes,...)...
HardSPL is CID unlock
or you can USPL an english RUU without the SPL.nbh
or you could just USPL/HSPL a custom rom
ok i'm gonna check for more information about "USPLing an english RUU without the SPL.nbh" on the web.
If you have any pertinent link to provide, it would be useful for me.

this is your one free link. Welcome to XDA-devs
you can start by tellings us your IPL/SPL versions
hold camera button while u power on, give u a tricolor-screen with a numbers
IPL 4.17.0002
SPL 4.17.0000
I couldn't hardSPL my Herald...
I was finally able to change my ROM thanks to your link!
I'm wondering if there is a ROM including the latest features of HTC diamond for Herald devices.
I've been searching, but if anyone has a link it would be helpful.
Thanks.
I found two different ROMs that include the Touch Dialer (which I find to be a very interesting feature).
Both ROMs included only an NBH file which had to be copied to my micro-sd card. Then I would run my Herald in bootloader-mode so that my device recognizes the file and perform the installation. But it does not.
I don't know what I should do to let my device detect the new ROM file...
I tried copying the NBH file to the RUU Folder of the Flash center and ran it, but it doesn't work either...
My brother bought for me X1 from Leipzig Germany its factory unlocked and has no branding. But it has windows in German.
My question is can I flash english rom vithout any spl unlocking?
and if yes please give me link which english wwe rom can flashed to my device.
I have experience with Elfin and Elfin was bought from china has chinese wm so I used wwe elfin rom and directly without unlocking it flashed.
So is there any chance that I can have englisj X1 rom original not cooked that can drieclty flash to my device?
You will need to flash HardSPL for X1 first (it's sticky on this forum), then you can flash UK rom. Remember that German version of X1 have qwertz keyboard, so if you will flash UK rom then some keys will have another function then they show.
But after that hardspl when I will change to UK can I go directly SEUS to recoknized my phone as UK phone and update via website? So if somebody have experience flashed German rom to UK generic and after that tested SEUS service please share here the results.
Can somebody give me link for UK Generic non customized rom I found on forum but it says at then begingn of link Customized UK I need original genereic UK rom please help me to find also if you tell me how to dump my rom I can dume German Generic rom for share with forum
When you've done HARDSPL you can use the SE update service
Thannks for info Fards
One more question I have conected with SPL things.
I have experience workign with HTC TOUCH XL USPL tool and flashed lot of roms with that tool but in HTC any time you need to flash another rom you should use USPL tool and then at some stage start RUU and flash your rom.
also if you stack in bootloader or in other stage you can always recover your phone using RUU and your device default rom.
Is this possible in X1?
Lets say I have German Genereic rom deivce I want to flash to UK rom direclty without any SPL tools and stucked in some stage with error. Can I use Kovski RUU and German Genereic rom (which is the my device's defalut rom) and recover from that stage?
Thanks in advance

You should be able to yes, obviously make sure you've done hardspl before going to the UK rom.
The SEUS uses RUU to flash the rom.
If you have your own rom (such as stock german one) then it's much much easier to flash from the SD card. Jack did a decent walkthrough of that.. but just rename the file to KOVSimg.nbh and go into bootloader (volume down and reset at the same time).
is USPL available for the X1?? or its just the HD?
USPL is not available for Xperia... would be cool if it is made available at some point, though I've already flashed HardSPL!
