I must be thick as I have read more posts on this than I have had hot dinners and tried various utilities all to no avail although thankfully my Wizard still seems to work.
My O2 XDA-Mini s is about 2 years old and of course locked to O2 although the device come up as SIM Unlocked but CID Locked.
IPL - 2.21.0001
SPL - 2.21.0001
I am now on the Three network and would just like to get back to using the phone I love rather than the freebie I have now, so I am assuming I need to get CID Unlocked?
Having bothered to get to that stage I would want to scrap the O2 software and upgrade to a better ROM.
Sorry for being so stupid on this, I am hoping someone in the know can take the time to reply.
Thanks in advance
There's no need to post in every thread,you already posted in the G4 forum,wait for someone to replay.
Anyhow,check your other post,this has been answered ,to upgrade to wm6, you got to do it with SoftSPL or HardSPL as its a G4 device,but if you want to SIM unlock,use the lokiwiz03 tool to generate the SIM unlocking code.

Won't work on Three as it's not 3G. Should be unlocked though - most XDA mini s are.

Thanks, disappointed but that may be the answer, I will try a Vodaphone card in it tomorrow and that should answer the question.

I used the lokiwiz tool to unlock the phone and used it to CID unlock. Is there a way to lock it back? I'm being shipped a new T-Mobile Dash(aka HTC Excalibur) because my MDA has been broke out of the box. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Note: G3 version of phone and all original ROM and OS loads still on phone.
I believe there is an option to lock your device in the Loki tool. Should be option "L" if I'm not mistaken.

As long as you have tmobile software installed there is no need to re lock your phone. Just use the ROM from the tmobile website

Absolutely correct...TMo not smart enough to figure it out.
Oh, well, if you think I can leave it unlocked I won't worry about it. It still has the original T-Mo ROM from when I got it, and that's the whole reason I'm getting a free upgrade to the T-Mobile Dash from them (the HTC Excalibur). Heh. Oh well, eh?

Ive done it with no problem. I became friends with one of the Tmobile people and they told me all they do is check to see what software is on it. Checking to see if its unlocked takes "allegedly" too much time to do on a mass level. Especialy if you have the mini usb broken
Hey guys need some feedback before I hurt myself
I bought a Cingular 8125 with 2.25 on it, I want to upgrade to 2.26 so I can try faria's 3.3
Now, The phone was bought off Ebay and im using a Fido (Canadian Service provider) Sim Card on it and I can make calls perfectly (Theres Cingular Branding on it still too), This must mean the phone is fully unlocked RIGHT?!?!
I was thinking instead of going the scary route of DOS screens and 1.x buttons Roms , Can I just just Skip to the T-Mobile 2.26 Updater ?
I havent done anything so for all I know the first time I run it will probably tell me bugger off
need feedback asap as I want to do it right now

The FIRST thing you need to do ASAP is to figure out if you have a G3 or G4. Then read. When you're done reading, read some more. Unless you want a $400 brick, your choice.
btw, yes you need to unlock if you want to flash an unofficial ROM.
Well I didnt say 2.25.0000000000000
So obviously its a G3
anyways,
Ive already done my reading, Im asking in my case specifically , can I just run the T-Mobile 2.26 Update program on my Cingular G3 2.25 Wizard Because I have reason to belive it is already unlocked as I am using a FIDO Sim on it and it works prefectly
please reply asap as my curiousity always wins out first and I'm about to do it anyways
That means that your SIM unlocked, not necessarily CID unlocked.
Go ahead and upgrade to the 2.26, then to the WM6 or whatever. And if it doesn't work all you've done is waste yours and my time.
When in doubt, unlock. If you're that concerned about unlocking then you should stick to official ROM's
How do you check the locks on the phone? (especially CID)
Service Code?
thanks for your time

You have not read enough my friend. Last chance from me.
There are TWO things to unlock.... SIM is so you can change SIM's... CID is so you can change ROM's. To my knowledge there's no way to determine if your unlocked. It would appear your SIM is unlocked. I don't know if your CID is unlocked. I DO know however that I could have downgraded to 1.05, unlocked completely with lokiwiz, installed 2.26 and then WM6 in the amount of time I've wasted here.
<poof>
alright Doc thanks, but loosen your grip on my balls next time, more of a yelp than a cough
Actually, you got off MUCH easier than some with your first post here without reading the information first. A LOT of the forum's members would have dragged you through the coals before they hog-tied you for not reading and searching for the answers first.
Dr. P was kind enough to give you some direction. Others -- including myself -- chose NOT to respond to yet another "noob" post where there's obviously not been NEAR enough effort put forth to find the solution FIRST.
We're all willing to help around here -- AFTER you've exhausted all other resources. That includes reading the stickys dealing with unlocking and upgrading and reading the WiKi. Between the stickys and the Wiki, there's no reason to post the question you posted. Yes -- some of the threads are long, but to know exactly what you're doing and what you'll encounter by NOT following the instructions, they need to be read -- each and every post.
Live and learn, my friend. I've always said there's a reason God gave us TWO eyes, TWO ears and ONE mouth -- it's to spend twice as much time looking and listening as we do talking and asking.

Hi all,
Sites like this are amazing, thanks to all who post and share their knowledge. Just a basic question, how can I tell if my Dash is SIM and CID unlocked? I purchased a tmobile dash off of ebay and it arrived today. Just as a test, I dropped my Rogers ATT&T (canada) SIM card in it and everything just worked. Does that mean I'm both Sim and CID unlocked? This phone wasn't supposed to be, but i'm not complaining if it is . Thanks!

The only way to know for sure is to test it. If you can drop any SIMcard in and it works then you are SIM unlocked. The only way to see if you are CID unlocked is to try to flash a different carrier (or custom) rom on it. But only do that if you know its a G3 and NOT a G4.

if you're using a dash go to the dash forum futher down, make sure not to flash with a wizard rom...if you did im sorry but your phone probably doesnt work anymore
To test if CID unlocked in G3, just try to run lokwiz02 again and see if write errors are displayed.
For G4, mostly not CID unlocked (I think not much people will sell their G4 wizard after paying 20 euro for unlocking CID...)
Hi,
I am new on the forum and i have been reading about unlocking the I-mate K-jam (WIZA200). I upgraded my ROM version a few days ago, and then my phone got "blacklisted" by my service provider last night. I have been using the phone for two months now, and i bought it from a second hand shop.
How do i unlock it so that it's not blacklisted anymore? I love the phone and can't afford to loose it.
Any help? I tried using Lokiwiz03a and it gave me 16 zeros as the lock status, and SIMLOCK code were just symbols.
Thanks alll

You will not be able to un-blacklist it with any tools here. The tools here are for unlocking or upgrading the unit. Blacklisting takes place at your provider. You will need to talk to them. Most likely it is blacklisted because it was stolen from its original owner. Is the second hand shop you bought it from reputable? It may be as simple as getting a new sim card from your provider, if your sim was just disabled. But if they banned the IMEI then you are most likely out of luck as far as using it as a phone. You should still be able to use it as a PDA though.

Hi, thanks for the advice. I tried the iwizard but will not work.my phone is a G4, so i need a different tool. It reads the IMEI and allows me to put in a new one, but does not change the IMEI after that, phone still shows the same one. i am changing it to that of my old phone (Motorola Mpx200) which i have to use now since my wizard is messed. Any other ideas? I am using the wizard love ROM and IPL/SPL 2.16.0001. Help????

If it's a G4 then completely forget about it. No solution exists!
The best to do is report the guy who sold you the phone or to sell it abroad since the blacklists are not shared internationaly
cheers
A few more questions
Thanks Mestrini. What about the software that imei-check.co.uk are selling? Would that work seeing that there is no free software existing?

No it wouldn't work because they do not want to (understandable from the company's point) and they even have a warning on their web about their products not being fit to change IMEI on handsets.

hi all.
Is the Tytn ii a hermes phone? Would like to know as i'm thinking of trying the HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a program to unlock it. Its currently on Orange and I need to put T-mobile sim card in for a while.
Any advice appreciated.
Don't do that, the TyTN II is the next generation, I don't think it will work.
With all these Kaiser-named threads, it should be pretty obvious it is a Kaiser, not Hermes. Add to that the fact that the forums are separated by model - aka Hermes, Kaiser, etc etc...and here you are, posting in the Kaiser forum.
Can you say DUH!?
OK, that was a little mean, but you newbies need to read more.
Read the Wiki. It will give you all the info you need.

Are you saying that there is free unlock available then?
UPDATE: This method involves flashing a patched radio from a different device. Would not advise as this will probably either fail or brick device.
Did you actually test the device for sim unlock before you sent it back?
