How to check if Unlock has worked

Hi all,
Being new to this and knowing what could happen to your phone, I want to know if you can check if LokiWiz has worked.
Yesterday I tried if the sim lock was gone and it has, but what about the CID?
Please let me know if it is possible to check.
Device specifics:
Qtek 9100, via Vodafone NL.
ROM1.3.7.10 NLD
ROM Date: 9/29/05
Radioversion: 01.04.10
Protcolversion: 4.0.13.17
ExtRom version: 1.3.7.8012
Thanks,
Bas

Did you use LokiWiz for only unlocking your SIM or also for CID?
SIM and CID unlock are both different options in LokiWiz.
You can check if SIM unlock has worked by changing SIM card and
you can check if CID unlock has worked by upgrading your device to the latest ROM (that's the only reason why anyone would CID unlock their device ).
Good Luck.

I did both.
I did a SIM unlock, and the test worked out fine. I swapped cards with a collegue who has a T-mobile card. Worked.
I did also a CID unlock. But I don't know if that worked. Is there a way to test. Or can I go and duo the upgrade. Does that one check if the CID is gone?
Thanks in advance for the answer.

Errm ive neva done an upgrade but if your CID is not unlocked i would assume the phone would turn into a brick....but remember thats an assumption :!:

Guys,
I just did the jump at the deep end and ....... kept swimming. :lol:
The upgrade went well. At the moment I'm reinstalling all my software.
Thanks for the answers.

i was htc 3600 vodafone an i want movistar

after install AUTO_Unlock_v1.bat and faman 3.3 , now i put into de device 3600 the movistar sim device . now the htc device says : write the number code because sim is locked.
i only has pin sim.
how can i get it??

That AUTO_unlock is the one by Pof?
http://pof.eslack.org/trinity-unlocker/
That´s the one i use for my p3600 and it works with T-mobile USA and Movistar Spain,since I unlocked it I had never any kind of messages or anything like that.
Try out once again or if you are using wm6 downgrade to wm5 and try to run Pof´s tool again and If you get to unlock it go back to wm6,maybe you already did,let me know

Besides, i have an unlocked t-mobile mda (G3). Would it become locked if i apply the new ROM?
Thank you for bearing with me.

Yes! its safe to download from rapidshare.G3 phone once CID unlocked remains unlocked ever after,flashing an official rom doesn't put a CID lock again

CID Locked!
Sorry for bothering again.
Wizard service tool (WST) is telling me that my phone is cid locked. But i am using it on another carrier (not tmobile) in pakistan. So is it really cid locked then? If it really is locked, is it advisable to upgrade the rom to the one provided by tmobile? I mean, is there any chance that it would become locked? or should i cid unlock it first (using WST) and then upgrade?
Thanks

Ok,I'll try to explain what is SIM_Lock and CID_Lock,they both are entirely different functions.
SIM_Lock:-
SIM is the abbrevation of Subscriber Identity Module . it Hold the IMSE (International Mobile Subscriber Identity ) and TMSI (Temparery Mobile Subscriber Identity)
Feature which would lock a phone to a specific network or set of networks. Used by providers that subsidize the phones to make sure the customers stay with the provider that got them the phone.
Some phones are locked to the specific telco from which you purchase your phone, eg you can't use a locked O2 phone using a Vodaphone SIM/smart card. To use SIM card from other telco, you need to SIM unlock your phone. Note: In general, the phrase 'unlock your phone' usually refers to SIM-unlock, not CID unlock.
In Pakistan,Phones are sold as SIM Unlocked,thats why any SIM of any Network works with them.
CID_Lock:-
Carrier Id - commonly used in the form `CID-Unlocking`. If you purchase your phone (example) from Qtek (Qtek is the 'carrier'), your phone will only accept Qtek ROMs (the carrier's ROMs). If you want to flash ROMs from other carrier, you'll need to CID-unlock your phone, so that your phone will accept other ROMs. Note: In general, the phrase 'unlock your phone' usually refers to SIM-unlock, not CID unlock.
So,Phones sold in Pakistan are usually SIM_Unlocked but they are not CID_Unlocked.
Now,if its running a T-mobile Rom (OS) then YES! you can upgrade to the latest T-Mobile rom,there's no need to CID_Unlock the phone,but if you want to upgrade to any latest Custom Build WM6.1 Rom,then definitely,you'll have to CID_Unlock the phone.

Thank you

itsme's tool should do the trick. Unlocking SIM should have no effect on your installed WM6. In the unlikely event that it would harm WM6, just simply reflash.
But it's also very likely that you can just call your provider for the unlocking code. SIM lock is a way in which providers make sure to make money on "cheap" phones, the actual cost of the device is hidden in the cost per month or per call. Countries can have different laws:
-in Belgium the provider has to give you the unlock code when you ask for it, even if it's one day after purchase.
-in the Netherlands the provider should give it after 1 year (if you ask for it)
Once you've unlocked, you can shop for the cheapest provider. If you don't you keep on paying for a device you already paid...

HTC One Europe unlock

Hi guys,
I am writing because I have a friend in need and xda was more than helpful to me in the past. I have Samsung Note 2 but my friend owns HTC One European(probably) and the phone has a sim lock on it. It is bought in Bosnia and Herzegovina and he came to Austria to live now and phone is of course, not usable. Can you point me please to some unlock methods, free or not? Ive been searching a bit online and all I can find is unlock for HTC One Sprint. He has 4.4.2 now and update is available.

There is many threads here regarding sim unlock, use the search option. Essentially, he will need to purchase an unlock code i.e from ebay (cost between 10-20$ US). Then when inserting the new sim card, he will get prompted to enter the sim unlock code. The phone must be on stock sense rom to use the unlock code. (some users reported successfully sim-unlocking their devices using arhd sense rom)

We have already done that. Code isn't working actually. Is there any way of determining the exact model of it? I've read that some codes don't work for Telenor Serbia or VIPnet Croatia. It's not the network from which he has bought it but it's also not possible that M:tel from Bosnia changed it's model somehow.
