This question should have been posted in the Wizard Service Tool thread and could have been avoided if you'd read the whole thread carefully because it's very clear that there's nothing my tool (or any other based on the same apps) can do regarding G4 CID unlocking.
It's not a problem of not knowing how to unlock the CID (the method is the same as with G3) it's a problem of NOT being POSSIBLE to write to the CID zone because of the write-protection.
So to conclude, NO, you can't use your friend's CID block in your phone because you could never flash it (not mentioning the issue of the key index compatibility)
But what you and your friend can do is share your CID blocks to help this project http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307558 no matter if the CID is blocked or not (as long as they are not yet provided by others)

thx in advance

Search no more as there are no FREE tools to do what you want. Only the guys at imei-check, and they charge.

Hello :
My frind wizard is ipl /spl 2.16 ( no more numbers)
Its a g3 ?
Do i need to cid unlock to go to wm6 ?
Wich version of wm6 do you all recomend »?
Thnks a Lot
If you read the wiki you will know that your friend have a G3 device. and you can flash wm6 rom wether you have CID unlock or lock but we recommend you unlock it..
Thnks ! But how can i see if it is unlocked or locked ?
What is the rom with wm6 that you recomend ?
Thnks
The easiest way to say whether your device is locked or unlocked is by sticking in a SIM-card from a provider that did not come with your device.
If it accepts it, and you are able to make a call your friend's device is unlocked, if it says something similar to unrecognized SIMcard or please insert a different SIM, the device is locked.
but unlocking the CID Unlocked device will not harm your device..
just to make sure..
Ok.
SIM LOCKED is The SAME as CID LOCKED ?
Thnks a lot
no!..
its different..

This just tests if your phone is SIM unlocked... doesn't prove that it's CID unlocked.
AFAIK, the only sure fire way to test if your phone is CID unlocked is to flash it with a different ROM that has ipl/spl. If you decide to do so though, I'd just recommend going through the g3 unlock procedure and know that it will be unlocked for sure.
Regarding which WM6 is recommended, just do a search or skim through the first few pages of threads... There have already been several polls regarding this. There is no "best" one... it all depends on what you are looking for. To start you off, some popular ones are: Most Beautiful Edition, PDAViet3, PDAViet4, Underground Edition and Orwell...
the best to do is not to check if you're a CID LOCK or UNLOCK..
just UNLOCK it even if its LOCK or UNLOCK..
atleast if you did.. you're so sure that now its unlock..
Thnks,
I will do.

Simple way to check CID is the type2 command in mtty
[I am currently @work, so I can't give the exact command]
If it returns SuperCID it means it's unlocked
I used lokiwiz02b to unlock? both the SID and CID. The device restarted during both installations like it should have.
I read about how to check if the SID is unlocked by using a SIM card from another network but what about the CID?
Thank for any help.

assuming you already flashed up to a 2.xx carrier rom, you can attempt to flash a different carrier's rom or any 2.xx custom rom here to see if it changes. If it errors out or completes but nothing changes then you are not CID unlocked.
Thank you. Yeah, I followed "How to fllsh a Wizard..." tutorial up to G4.6 assuming it was unlocked. I tried Xplorer 1.1 (originally getting error 300) but then updated the romupdateutility.exe. After the install finished i just had the 3 Color bootloader screen.

woah woah woah... You have a G4... G4's aren't CID Unlocked unless you have paid to have this done from imei-check.co.uk . You also have to be careful (if you don't know this already) what roms you flash. Don't just go and flash another carrier's rom on a G4 or you could (will?) wind up with a brick.
So on a G4, you will either have to pay to get CID Unlocked or you use ShellTool to do upgrades (you have to make sure you remove the IPL/SPL in roms before upgrading).

yeah, you didn't have that signature in your post when I replied originally. You have a G4. be very careful which roms you flash. Flashing IPL/SPL into a G4 will brick it. Lokiwiz won't CID unlock a G4. As MFrazzz has said the only known way to CID unlock a G4 is to pay a website for it (imei-unlockers or something like that.)
I forgot to put this in my post earlier... Please use this to learn to flash:

Since we now know you have a G4, just start at G4.1 and have fun (but be careful).
I have a vodafone U.K G4 Wizard,i understand some are CID locked some are not.I cant find any info explaining how i can tell though,should i just try and flash to another operators rom and if it refuses its locked?The phone is sim unlocked.
Cheers Tony

If you personally haven't unlocked it it is most likely CID locked. For a G4 you will have to go to the pay site to CID unlock.
There is also a G4 sub-forum of the Wizard forum that might have a good bit of information that you would find useful.

WRONG!
Those utilities patch the SPL only. Although the final result is the possibility to flash any ROM the truth is that the CID block remains untouched...
I bought a Wizard and I don't know how to know if it's CID locked !!
You can download Wizard service tool and check it.
Yep, WST is easiest way to find out. Also, make notes of your G ( ya know G3 or G4).
Thanks to all!! I've already CID unlocked my G3. It was not as difficult as I thought.
