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...

Try flashing an official ROM. You really need to give us more information about your phone and what you did to get it "stuck".

Do you have a G3 or G4 device?
Did you read the stickies on unlocking your device?
What did you do to make your device get stuck in bootloader?
What is your current IPL/SPL
Who is your carrier?
Why do you want to flash your device and do you truly need to?
If you have not personally unlocked your device then it most probably IS locked. CID lock is not the same as SIM lock.
*IF* your device is a G3 I suggest flashing the button 1.05 rom and then following the steps in the unlocking sticky. *IF* your device is a G4 reflash your carrier's latest rom and then find the G4 unlocker website link in the G4 section of this forum.
1 my device is G3
2 I do unlock 2 time
3 after I install wm6 I suggest flashing the button 1.05 rom then the device is stop in splash screen
4 now my IPL/SPL 1.01

If you went back to 1.05 from a 2.xx ROM you'll need to unlock it again. (if you have already then...) After 1.05 ROM you need to go to a 2.xx (we suggest the TMobile 2.26 production ROM). After you have done the 2.26, you can then flash a custom WM5 or Faria's WM6 ROM. You can only "upgrade" FROM a 2.xx ROM.

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)

cheers
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.

Use my tool (check signature) that has an option to read the CID status...

Is there a hard spl flash for the Wizard? I haven't been spending much time here but the only place I have seen Hard SPL is on the Hermes forums. If this is where you have seen it from you should NOT attempt to flash this to your Wizard they are more different internally than they are externally.

Unfortunately there is no HardSPL nor SSPL for Wizard
When it came out first time i asked the developer to give me hints so that i could try to port it to Wizard and he said there was a team working on that...and that was months ago
So no, G4 devices can't be CID unlocked for free.
Hi People
I am new to upgrading. Before I get the business of "you have not read the posts" I have read the posts. That's why I am writing here. The more I read, the more contradicting it is. I have the following:
T-Mobile MDA Unlocked SIM
IPL/SPL 2.26.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
I know this is a G4, but I have read that you can flash a ROM to an locked CID, but other areas say you cannot. I also have seen many different guides to flash, but some say the CID have to be unlocked others don't. I also have not seen whether the original ROM is saved in case you want or need to put it back. I have also read that you may have to input the GSM settings (I use Rogers in Canada). I bought this unit on eBay unlocked and all I had to do was put in my SIM card and it worked. Will the same happen if I upgrade the ROM? I find after reading so many threads it seems so confusing and was hoping someone here could help me out as you all seem to love flashing ROMs.
Thanks so much in advance,
Mike
Read some more and took a chance and it worked

hi,
ok,now let me try to explain in plain words,
1. U cannot for sure upgrade to a newer rom untill u r CID unlocked, now as u say u got ur wizzard from ebay.now it must have come with a pre-installed OS,plz check from which carrier it is from.If its Cid locked than it can only be upgraded with that official rom from which it came pre-installed with. But if u want to upgrade to some other wm6 cooked rom than u'll have to get it Cid unlocked.
now to upgrade,do the following:-
a)If u want to upgrade with official rom from which it came preinstalled,than visit the official site and download the official rom for ur exact device and upgrade without any Cid unlocking process ,its fairly self explanatory,how to upgrade with official rom as it comes with a self upgrade romutility.
b) if u want to upgrade to any other wm6 cooked rom,than i'am afraid u'll have to CID unlock ur device.As u say u have a G4 device there's a different procedure to Cid unlock it than G3.It's done with a utility tool called SHELLTOOL.search and read how to go about it.First download a tool "WST tool" by Mestrini ,install it and check if ur device is Cid locked or unlocked.If u find it locked than adopt the Cid unlock method through SHELL tool,if its already Cid unlocked than go ahead & flash with any wm6 rom.
As for ur question about sim unlocked,its different being from CID unlock.with sim unlocked u can put any carrier sim and use ur device.But with Cid unlock u can upgrade to any rom u desire.
Well, once SIM/CID unlocked it remains unlocked forever,unless u personelly don't lock SIM/CID.
Well,I believe if it came SIM unlocked, than it might be CID unlocked also.cuz all the carriers never give Sim unlocked.but than there might be some exceptions.therefore u must get it confirmed before any upgrade.
Hope I was able to clear some of ur doubts.goodluck

@zabardast_1 dude..
@Miker2006
Upgrading won't affect your Sim unlock status, it's permanent.
You don't NEED to CID unlock your phone to upgrade:
You can use Soft SPL to make the phone temporary think it's CID unlocked (while flashing).
Or you can semi-permanent let the phone think it's CID unlocked by Hard SPL.
This SPL will mimic a CID unlocked state, so you can flash all kinds of ROMs to your device.
BTW ShellTool WON'T cid unlock your device, Hard SPL is the closest you get to a Free CID unlock.
Best regards,
EquinoXe
PS. Read the stickies before Flashing, don't turn your wizard into a brick.
Actually it is a good show case that reading helps .. one day after his post Miker2006 did ..

I recently followed all steps to upgrade my phone wizard a9100 to wm6. It installed w/out problem. But when it boots it is still wm5. I downloaded various wm6 packages and it ends up the same way. I don't know what the problem is. The phone is a generic Qtek phone, not t-mobile or any other. Thankss!
Be sure that the phone is CID unlocked. If it's not and you keep on flashing you might kill the phone or criple it by not booting again into OS.
cheers
Thanks

If its CID locked it won't upgrade,first CID unlock the phone.If its a G3 follow this guide :-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
But if its G4 read the SoftSPL or HardSPL method in the G4 forum posted as stickies.
