CID Unlocking question...

Hi,
I have a dutch HTC wizard/qtek 9100, with the AKU 2 NLD ROM.
I tried CID unlocking but noticed that didn't work with AKU 2,
Is it possible my phone isn't cid-locked? Is there a quick way to check?
How can I downgrade to an older rom version and what file should I use,
I tried this one: "RUU_Prodigy_1030710_110_10410_Qtek_NLD_Ship.exe"
but after restarting my wizard and loading the bootloader the update program gave an error claiming that it can only UPgrade to newer versions...
I suppose I cant use the wwe version or can I?
well, thanx in advance,
Bonusbartus

As written before, u need AKU 1 to CID unlock your phone..the only way to be sure is to unlock again. Use buttons rom.. downgrade to that... unlock the phone.. install the rom again so the IPL and SPL are the same..then you can switch to whatever rom you want. How ever, you havent shown what type of Wizard you have whether its a G3 or a G4..the above method is what i used for my G3 Wizard

I have a g3 wizard,
so I can use that rom, I don't need a dutch version or something else?

1. Thank-you for posting in a new thread and not in a ROM release thread.
2. Do you have a G3 or G4 (what is your IPL/SPL?)
2a. If you have a G3 read the Sticky post The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards.
2b. If you have a G4 log onto the IMEI pay site (links all over the place) and pay to get your phone unlocked.
3. IF you have a G3 rom you must downgrade to CID unlock. It isn't possible to CID unlock from AKU2 or higher (read the sticky, it tells you what you need to do)
4. The best thing to do if you are unsure is to just repeat the unlock procedure. It won't hurt a thing if you are already unlocked, but will unlock you if you are locked.
5. Don't do anything flash related until you know for sure, beyond a doubt which version of Wizard you have (G3 or G4) If you have a G4 and use G3 procedures you WILL most likely ruin your device.
6. You won't get this error if you follow the steps in the correct order from the upgrade guide.
7. Good Luck

With your G3 just follow the steps, in order, from the sticky and you should be able to end with whatever ROM you choose. Some of the steps may not make sense but, they are necessary and prevent common issues if followed correctly.

Well, I do have a G3 so I can follow the tutorial,
ipl and spl are 2.18,
only question left, CAN I downgrade to the wwe rom in the tutorial? that's what I wanna know, because I now have a nld rom, can I flash to the wwe rom in the tutorial without CID-unlocking?
well I think I just try
thanx
oh btw, any recommendations on which rom to flash to after unlocking? and I saw something about radio only roms and page-pools what would u recommend there?

please help!!! my qtek 9100 stucked on bootloader screen!!

Hy guys...i have a problem, my device stucked in bootloader mode..can someone help me? please, IPL 2.18, SPL 2.18

soft reset

i read "how to cid unlock" but it is written there to copy a file on ppc memory, but i can't enter on it, only in bootloader mode

ok, you need to flash the rom that the device came with ( o2, cingular, vodaphone, tmo etc) then cid unlock

i understood that..but i don't know what rom do i need, because i have brought at second hand, from a guy, and it was in french, and i tried to install in english, but stucked on 98%

you'll have to try each french rom until one works
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
i can only see 2 french roms on the wiki, both are qtek, is that what your wizard is branded as?
also try the 'button rom' and then cid unlock
it's past my bedtime now, i'll check this in the morning. but short of holding your hand and giving a button by button tutorial, you know everything there is to know

yes it is qtek...thank you very much, i will see what i can do..i will let you know about the results

i can't download the files, because was deleted

it worked..thanks, without cid unlock, but thank you anyway for you time

now, you must cid unlock before flashing another rom

i tried to do that, and when i want to downgrade to button's 1.05 ROM it's getting stucked on 98%

now..i've made it again...i have wm5 on it..i made cid unlock, but my problem is that every time i try to install wm6 on it, it appears to me wm5...why? with each version

OK... two things - firstly, have you gone through ALL the steps in the stickied G3 unlocking thread? You mustn't miss any out, no matter how long it takes.
Secondly, what operating system is on the PC you're trying to unlock from?
One more thing - when your device starts from a soft reset, please write down and post the IPL and SPL numbers that appear on the first boot screen.

Is This Permanently Bricked?

I just tried updating my 8125 with this update (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330080). I had my deviced unlocked by Cingular some time ago. Anyway, I get to the end, get the error message and go into the recovery tool. I have the red, green and blue screen. I run the recovery tool and the error is I need an updated RUU tool? Now my screen is stuck on the red, green and blue.
Now what?

try flashing to your latest provider rom. if you can get to that screen (bootloader) you're not bricked.

I ended up doing that and it did the trick. So I have started all over again. I can't however locate the RUU version 1.5? so that I can downgrade the rom, run CID and then flash. The link on that post does not work.

As long as your phone can get into bootloader mode (tricolor screen),it's not bricked.
What you mean by getting your phone unlocked by cingular,you must have gotten the SIM unlock code from the cingular,it'll only SIM unlock your phone,meaning you can use sim of any carrier with this code,but SIM unlock and CID unlock are two different things.If you want to upgrade to wm6,you are required to CID unlock your phone.

Thanks. I did end up searching for that rom and found it. I followed the instructions and I now have that HTC Rom for WM5. Its really nice!
Thanks for the assist.

Oh Yeeeeeeeeeeaaah !!!
You know ,you are a gem of a lady

Help!!
I know this question has come up a million times, but I have an 8125 IPL 2.25 SPL 2.25 thats stuck on the red green and blue screen tried to update to WM6 and screwed up, I know the answers are all here but if someone cold take the time to put them in a sequence for this stupid old man would be appreciated or if you want me to send you the phone and pay to have it done can do that as well.... Leave me a message

Would help if you let us know whether your wizard is G3 or G4...

I don't think I'm as lucky..
I was having issues iwth my G4 Wizard getting the TNT TouchFlo 19199 ROM to flash. It said it was OS only so I didn't do SoftSPL (possible mistake)
It locked at 99% with a communications error..
I then tried to flash with what I thought was the wizard Love rom but turned out (Definate mistake) to be the Wizard Button which it came up as successfully flashed but it froze at teh start up screen..
That is when I noticed that the IPL was 1.01 instead of 2.28.0001 like the SPL.. Now this thing won't even power on.. This device I believe then is truly bricked.
Any thoughts on what I should do other than pretend to talk to ppl on the phone?

please help me

i tried to update my wm5 to wm6 rc1 to my wiza200 (t mobile)
i followed all instructions as in Rc1 thread but this is what happened

note the only os can be installed on is WM6 ANTC V2.0 but it shows wm5 on my ppc i really confused here please help
thanks in advance

FIRST-- Please do not make repeated posts, you posted this same damned thread in the Wizard/Wizard section and again in the Wizard/Wizard upgrading section. It is New Years Eve, people are out partying rather than sitting on xda, if someone comes online and can answer they will.
SECONDLY-- the big font is rather annoying (see what I mean, by my post here)
Finally-- good luck. BTW, if you flash back to a stock rom then make sure you have followed all the unlocking steps EXACTLY, you should be able to flash any rom after the stock rom. And while I am not sure, but if you were able to flash a custom rom, then it is WM6, even if it reads WM5 somewhere.
PS- I believe error 302 has something to do with unlocking the phone...you may not be unlocked. You need to be CID unocked. Read the unlocking sticky carefully and after reflashing a stock rom, make certain you have cid unlocked your phone (as I stated above)...get into the bootloader mode and make sure you use a STOCK rom.

Your phone isn't completely unlocked, go to the unlocking sticky thread and read on how to unlock your phone there. Also, please don't make giant text sizes, that shows impatience and it's just plain rude.

AKU3 stuck

format is failed after a power outage in the middle of ugrading with shell tool.
made it worse bu trying to flash with tmobiles latest rom.
so now i'm stuck in boot screen with the following
Device is g3 with
IPL 3.08
SPL 3:08
GSM 02.69.11
OS 3.8.2.1
did i mention CID unlocked?
please advice

rephrase
Let me rephrase the question.
I have a friend who saw me use shell tool to upgrade my cid locked wizard.
He went home to try the same on his cid locked g3 wizard.
he had bad luck and it was interrupted mid way through so he brought me his dead wizard.(stuck on bootloader)
The only official rom i had was Tmobile's 3.08 so i flashed it to try and revive it.
it flashed and finished but still stuck on bootloader.
when i try and hard reset it says "format is failed".
button rom wont work, wizard love wont work, sd method wont work as it is cid locked.
Any ideas?
And if none, will imei-check work..

Get the official stock ROM for his Wizard, then flash it and you will get a working Wizard back.
However, if the IPL and SPL still stays at 3.08, there is possibility that IPL and SPL not downgradeable, so unlocking may not be possible.
Another thing...by CID unlocking the Wizard, there is no reason to use ShellTool while you can actually use RUU directly! Using ShellTool may lead to incomplete update!

Not yet home
Hey, the stock rom (tmobile 3.08) succesfully flashes but the wizard still doesnt boot. it gets stuck on the first screen.
Any more ideas?
BTW i'm very experimental so i'll try anything..

Hi,
Have you tried to flash the wizard with Hard-SPL or Soft-SPL.
I had the same with mine wizard (G4) but Hard-SPL worked for me.
You have a G3 so I don't no if it will work. Otherwise read this thread first post
Hope it will work.
