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.

once you unlocked your device can you put it back in the original state later (with imei again) ??

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.
Hello :
My frind wizard is ipl /spl 2.16 ( no more numbers)
Its a g3 ?
Do i need to cid unlock to go to wm6 ?
Wich version of wm6 do you all recomend ยป?
Thnks a Lot
If you read the wiki you will know that your friend have a G3 device. and you can flash wm6 rom wether you have CID unlock or lock but we recommend you unlock it..
Thnks ! But how can i see if it is unlocked or locked ?
What is the rom with wm6 that you recomend ?
Thnks
The easiest way to say whether your device is locked or unlocked is by sticking in a SIM-card from a provider that did not come with your device.
If it accepts it, and you are able to make a call your friend's device is unlocked, if it says something similar to unrecognized SIMcard or please insert a different SIM, the device is locked.
but unlocking the CID Unlocked device will not harm your device..
just to make sure..
Ok.
SIM LOCKED is The SAME as CID LOCKED ?
Thnks a lot
no!..
its different..

This just tests if your phone is SIM unlocked... doesn't prove that it's CID unlocked.
AFAIK, the only sure fire way to test if your phone is CID unlocked is to flash it with a different ROM that has ipl/spl. If you decide to do so though, I'd just recommend going through the g3 unlock procedure and know that it will be unlocked for sure.
Regarding which WM6 is recommended, just do a search or skim through the first few pages of threads... There have already been several polls regarding this. There is no "best" one... it all depends on what you are looking for. To start you off, some popular ones are: Most Beautiful Edition, PDAViet3, PDAViet4, Underground Edition and Orwell...
the best to do is not to check if you're a CID LOCK or UNLOCK..
just UNLOCK it even if its LOCK or UNLOCK..
atleast if you did.. you're so sure that now its unlock..
Thnks,
I will do.

Simple way to check CID is the type2 command in mtty
[I am currently @work, so I can't give the exact command]
If it returns SuperCID it means it's unlocked
I understand this - i've tried flashing two different WM6 ROMs to my device - and everything works well - goes to 100% and says it's succsessful. But then my device boots - the old image/OS? Appearantly it just does a hard reset?
What's up with that?

CID UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE....or better yet start reading the wizard upgrading forum..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1184453#post1184453
I thought a locked CID would prevent to flash at all? (error before flashing started). I did unlock CID first - but there was one error, but i think that was when writing the backup. I'll try it again.
Edit: Here is the error:
CopyFileToTFFS(cidunlocked.bin:0, 0, 00010000)
ERROR: ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred.
result=80072745
Your phone is now CID unlocked....

If your phone retains the same OS after you flash then quite obviously something went wrong during the cid unlock and it wasnt cid unlocked at the time of flashing.
This is mentioned many times, let me know if your having trouble finding info.
The error you posted means the CID Unlock didn't work (even though you got a message saying you are now CID Unlocked). Go back to the thread on CID Unlocking (or maybe its the lokiwiz thread) and read about the errors.
Another thing is you haven't told us if you have a G3 or G4 device and what your current IPL / SPL are. that info helps so you don't get taken in the wrong direction.
I got it working now. IPL/SPL was 2.x, so i had to downgrade in order to get it working. I got tricked, since i couldn't find anywhere mentioning what happened if CID was locked - only that it wouldn't work to flash if it's not unlocked - and i assumed that by "wouldn't work" they meant that it couldn't get it flashed - but it was flashed without any errors so i assumed that CID lock was not the problem (it did says succsessfull when i unlocked cid also).
I've bought myself a MDA Vario (T-mobile NL).
But i have a other provider so i treid to unlock it which failed.
So i downgraded to IPL:1.01 and SPL:1.01 using the button 1.05 rom.
And then unlocked using lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker UPDATE Version 0.2b.
I also unlocked the CID and i didn't see any errors in my dos prompt.
Now i am trying to upgrade again and it keeps failing, i get to the green red bleu screen but then it hangs. The phone works but i want newer software.
When i boot it says i have: IPL:1.01 and SPL:1.01.0000 GSM:1.12.10.0 and OS:1.5.4.2.
When i try to run lokiwitz again to unlock my CID it says that a file is inuse and doesn't finish. The first time it didn't do this.
I like to upgrade to: T-Mobile 2.26 ROM or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330080, i preffer the second rom.
Can someone tell me what is wrong, is it possible the CID unlock failed and it doesn't show?

I think you did not copied the Enablerapi.cab file in your phone correctly or executed it in there
good luck
Fixed it,
After reinstalling the EnableRapi.cab which got lost in some sort of way. Everything went A ok
