About to CID unlock a G3, my question is, the likes of the o2 xda updates, will it still know the device is g3 and flash the correct ipl / spl? The o2 updates must contain both IPL / SPL vers, as ive used the same update on G3's and G4's
Cheers
Yes, Unlocking a G3 does not change it into G4, you can always flash to original ROM.
p.s. Remember to downgrade your IPL and SPL to 1.xx before CID unlocking.

My original config:
ipl 1.08
spl 1.08
gsm 01.16.11
OS 1.8.11.1
I ran lokiwiz's CID-Unlock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474)
I used the instructions in shogunmark's Cingular 2.26 Aku2.3 w/a2dp FULLY LOADED thread with that RUU.
Now when I boot my 8125 it displays:
IPL 1.08
SPL 1.08
OS 2.26.10.2
It takes about 3 minutes from a cold start then freezes at the password screen.
What now?
If I boot into bootloader mode, how can I fix this?
flash with original cingular rom
http://america.htc.com/support/docs/RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe
possibly your 8125 is nit cid unlocked
that cingular rom shouldnot have any problem with flashing
good luck
I'm in bootloader mode. I opened the file from HTC that you recommended. Just before upgrading it states that my original version is <blank>.
Thanks for your help
itissat, your link fixed it. Thanks!
Now I have to decide if I want to try again...
cid unlock
be sure that you cid unlock it before flashing custom roms
if you read the instructions, you have to upgrade to an 2.xx Official Rom BEFORE you flash to one of the custom 2.26 roms... Just a reminder

As far as I know, I cid-unlocked. I use lokiwiz's newest release here. Now I did not do the SuperCID unlock only the regular unlock. Anyone care to explain what the supercid unlock is?
Hi all. Tried and tried in vain, to replace the T-mobile splash screen, only to find out that the phone is CID locked.
Managed to upgrade to WM6 though, thanks to vlodeck and nocturne.op.15
Here's the phone details:
IPL: 2.06
SPL: 2.06.0000
GSM: 02.19.21
OS: 10.2.0.8 (WM6 by vlodeck & nocturne)
Oh, and also worth mentioning, my PC is running on Vista Ultimate, on which RUU's don't work. But some people said that if I install VMWare Virtual PC and install XP on that, RUU works through it.
So, how to unlock CID of this phone?
Wish I knew!
I'm in the same boat, so please can someone advise, thanks.
to cid unlock to need a ver. 1.xx of ipl/spl. And seeing you have 2.xx you cant really downgrade to ver.1.x
but can you told me whats rom have ispl ipl 1.x??
ok so saying you have ipl 1. what ever how do you cid unlock?
ftp://[email protected]/Up...er_1120223_11202110_11220_T-MobileUK_Ship.rar
will have ipl and spl ver 1. wherever you can get to install or not, might work with a noID ruu. then you can use lokiwiz2 to unlock the CID
There are rom versions that have 1.xx IPL and SPL but from my own experience I know, that once you upgraded to 2.xx or more, you cant get back to 1.xx. The most you can get is 1.xx IPL and 2.xx SPL.
Cheers,
vlodeck.
So, What ROM we must flash? To have 1.xx IPL and 2.xx SPL?
Maybe offtopic, but I have another question: If I have ROM from ERA GSM POLAND can I flash AKU3.3 TMobileUK ROM?
Charmer community is so small.... ;(
adexxx, you misunderstood me. You can't get 1.xx IPL and 1.xx SPL once you've already upgraded to 2.xx.
If it's an official ROM then you can flash it no problem. If its a custom ROM, use the tool I described in WM6 charmer thread.
When I tried to update with RUU: RUU_Charmer_38221_382127_026921_TMO_HR_WWE_Ship it showed error: INVALID VENDOR
What I'm doing wrong?
use wizard noID upgrade utility. it's some around here, maybe even in charmer forum.
OK, I flashed and it works fine.
Now I have 3.0 IPL&SPL, my 1st splash was changed.

Hi,
I have a sim unlocked MDA Vario (T-Mobile), but i want install any custom rom to it. I have followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613 but instead lokiwiz i used the aWizard-V1_3beta2.zip. At the first step i downgraded my phone with Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102. I used the u function for the cid unlock after my device is restarted. But i cannot flash any rom into the device. I still get the 302 error. My device is still Cid locked? After the cid unlocking i got IPL 1.xx and SPL 2.xx after i reflashed with the buttopn 1.05 and the t-mobile 2.26 after i get the 302 message when i tried to flash a different brand rom. My original is IPL 2.26 / SPL 2.26 ROM is 2.26
Strange.... I compared the two dumps from two programs aWizard-V1_3beta2 / Lokiwizardb2 /lock_backup.bin before unlocking and cidunlocked.bin after unlocking/ is the same in the two programs. The question is? How possible the patched dump which is the lock_backup.bin is the same as the secondly patched lock_backup? The soft is not really pathcing?
What is wrong?
Thank You,
You're not CID unlocked yet. You need to flash and reflash the XDA_MiniS rom or the button ROM until both your IPL and SPL are 1.xx and then CID unlock your phone. Sometime it takes a few time (up to 7 times or more) to get both your IPL and SPL to 1.xx so be patient and keep reflashing until you are successful. Once you're successful, or think you are, download and run Wizard Service tools (google for it) and click on CID actions to verify that you are actually CID unlocked and then flash back to the t-mobile ROM. After that you should be able to flash any ROM you want.
Thanks... Your method is working great....
Can't Downgrad SPL 3.08
Tried 9 times now to flash the Button Rom to downgrade and I get the IPI to 1.05 (or 1.01) but the SPL is still stuck on 3.08. Any suggestions to download so I can unlock the CID?
thanks
Marcio
IPI 1.01
SPL 3.08
GSM 1.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
I have read the guides to unlocking and from what I see there are none that work on 3.xx SPL/IPL. I was able to downgrade the IPL but never the SPL.
I have seen several threads that say if you flash button rom (several times) it will eventually downgrade the SPL also, but all night as I worked I flashed the button ROM (about 12-15 times) and still can't downgrade the SPL from the 3.08, only IPL goes to 1.01
Tried the original Cingular ROM and it isn't accepted (I think because I have a higher SPL than the original 2.26), tried using the ShellTool, Tried SoftSPL too but none worked.
IS THERE A WAY TO DOWNGRADE THE 3.08 SPL SO THAT I CAN USE THE LOKIWIZ02 OR LOKIWIZ03. I saw a thred saying that 3.08 can't be downloaded but I also saw SEVERAL saying to just keep insisting with the Button rom that it will eventually work (but after almost 15 consecutive tries I've had it).
Any help would be GREAT.
thanks
MGF
IPL 1.01
SPL 3.08

Button ROM doesn't work for that. I tried numerous times too. The only ROMs that work to downgrade to anything else from 3.08 are the OEM releases from either T-Mo or AT&T.
The Cingular ROM isn't accepted because it checks the OS version number. I had to try several peoples' ROMs until I found one with a low enough version number to where the Cingular ROm could flash on top of it.
Try to flash T-Mobile 2.26 to bring it down to ipl/spl 2,26 then go for button's 1.05,hope it'll do the trick.
Good luck
p.s. you can try the wizard_love_Rom also,lol
I want to downgrade my phone, too. but the original T-Mobile AKU2.0 say while reading the phones ROM-Version "only update"... so, with this no downgrade is possible.
How can i CID unlock with AKU3? I want to flash a new ROM from xda-developer as well... damn
Regards
Thomas
You could probably extract the nk.nbf and use the standard tools to flash it.
The nk.nbf can usually be found in a .tmp folder in c:\documents and settings\yourname\Local Settings\Temp
Thanx for your Hint... but which "Standard-Tool" should i use?
Sorry for this silly question, but i am new in experience with my vario

Hey guys!
I use a G4 qtek 9100, and Im trying to CID unlock it and SIM unlock, so far nothing. Also, I want to reset it to standard 5.0 WM in spanish
Can someone please help me?
Thanks in advance
G4 phones cannot be SIM/CID unlocked completely like a G3 device,however,SIM unlock code can be generated through lokiwiz03a tool and if you want to upgrade or change to any other custom roms,there's another method called 'SoftSPL' and 'HardSPL' by which its possible to upgrade to any rom.Read the stickies in the G4 forum,all the info and guidance is provided there for G4 SIM unlock and upgrade.
Cheers!

You have got your phone 'HardSPL',You'll have to first remove 'HardSPL' and flash the official carrier's G4 IPL/SPL(Bootloaders) then revert back to official wm5 Rom,otherwise,you'll 'Brick' your phone.
Cheers!
