I assume you mean SIM unlock? I don't think that the current free SIM unlocker for the Wizard allows it to be re-locked. The paid services may do that.
If you mean CID unlocking, which allows for the installation of alternative ROMs, I've read on the forums that it can be restored, but I don't know the process. As part of CID unlocking with lokiwiz or awizard the original unique ID is stored in a file.
sorry for not beeing clearly but i meant CID unlock thanx for answering so quick
I know I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box, but how do you check if your phone is sim/cid locked without putting in a sim card from a different carrier than the phone came from.
I used Lokiwiz to SIM and CID lock my MDA and it created the appropriate .BIN files in its directory. I wanted to keep the files in case I needed to send the phone back to T-Mo USA under warranty repair in the future.
However, when trying to unlock a friend's MDA, these files got overwritten.
So my questions is: since I made a full device image backup when I first got the device (was ROM 1.08 at the time) before the unlocking using the "r2sd all" command, can I use the image stored in the SD card to restore the phone to its "virgin" status?
Would the SD card image restore bring back the "lock status" so that T-Mo would not say "it ain't covered under warranty, since you unlocked your phone"?
Thanks a lot..
Hey,
I was wondering if it was possible to undo the changes I made in Lokiwiz and actually "lock" my phone. I have never SIM unlocked it.
Thanks!

Ya run the same tool again and select lock, not unlock!!!
can the CID-unlock also be relocked?
Hello,
I understand the fact that you can put the SIM-lock back again. But is there any posibility that also a CID-unlock can be locked again? My wizzard resets sometimes by himself so I have to send it for repair so now I need to know if I can put a CID-lock back on. Does anyone have an idea?

The answer is in the second post in this thread, right above yours.
when you CID unlock or SIM unlock your device, you're asked to backup your original lock files.Try to run Lokiwiiz again and restore your backup files.
Sorry if this is first grade material, I've only been working with PDA's for a matter of weeks.
I've gone over the CID/SIM unlocking threads, and I tried using WizBackup to backup before my first attempt at upgrading. Unfortunately my motherboard seems to have a conflict with the program and I can't backup. So my question is, If I unlock, then after upgrading decide to put it back to stock and use the official Cingular 2.25 rom will that lock the CID/SIM?
The only reason I ask this is incase I ever have to send it in for repairs from the occasional drop or something off the wall like that. Oh, not sure if it even pertains to this question or not, but I have a G3 phone.
Thanks in advanced,
Joe

No ! once SIM/CID unlocked,it'll remain unlocked,it won't get SIM/CID locked again if you reflash the official Cingular 2.25.But yes,if you want to re lock it,this can be done by flashing back the CID Lock_backup.bin code through lokiwiz02b,which will be generated at the time you'll SIM/CID unlock it with lokiwiz02b tool.you must save that lock_backup.bin,in order to re lock your phone and flash back the official cingular rom,it'll be back to it's official default status.
Cheers !

So I've upgrade my old 8125 successfully - got a new one due to a second USB port coming off main board. This new one is a slightly newer model - T2. Anywho - Was running Lokiwiz to CID and SIM unlock. Successfulyl Sim unlocked - also THOUGHT i successfully CID unlocked it (based on the progress of the program - all the way through auto hard reset),
but apparantly I didn't (as confirmed by the MTTY tool telling me I don't have sufficient privelages to create image of rom and an invalid Vendor ID error upon tmobile rom RUU). Also i get the familiar "fat format failure" message at the option screen when hard resetting.
So i can flash the heck out of the device with old and new Cingular roms as well as the TouchFlo and Touch Diamond roms but the only thing that changes after successful flashing is the splash screen and depending on the ROM the IPL/SPL number. The device remains frozen and hangs on the Boot Loader screen.
So in attempt to get this thing up and running i need a sanity check.
Mmy first question is
1) Based on info above would you agree the device is still CID unlocked?
2) Is there (cuz I can't find one) a utility besided IMEI unlock to get into the phone and CID unlock it through the RBG boot loader screen?
3) Since I UNSUCCESSFULLY CID unlocked the device using Lokiwiz in the first place - I still have the output file from Lokiwiz - is there a way that the IMEIUNLOCK progrogram from IMEI UK can read this binary file and unlock the device or do i just need to pony up the 40bucks and CID unlock this.
I can't think of another way to get back to a functioning device.
Additional Thoughts
I also had a thought - which is probably an impossibility - but is there any way if I get the IMEI unlock code from Cingular to somehow get it into the IMEI Unlock software or use some other program like MTTY to insert that code into the phone?
DAMN! - I still don't know how the CID unlock didn't go through the first time. -Maye it was because the rom didn't roll back.
BRoke Down
and purchased IMEI unlock - unlocked just fine. Now I was able to upgrade to the Tmobile rom- INstallation went through without a hitch- now I am stuck on the Tmobile Boot loader- WTF can't I get past the boot loader on any rom I use? This makes no sense. Anyone have any thoughts? IPl and SPL at this point both show 2.26. THis is really pissing me off.
Try using the SD method to create a OS ROM dump and restore it. Some people works with it.
