Dude. Seriously, if you have nothing better to do than to critique people's posts on an online forum, you need to get out more. I suggest www.citysearch.com or something to find things to do. Just a suggestion.
Vjay has a good point, you'll have a better chance of getting a response simply by taking the time to write a meaningful topic title.
A good example would be, oh I don't know "How do I tell if my wizard is still CID unlocked?"
You this way if I know how to answer your question then I would know that I can provide the answer from the forum index.
On the other hand I really don't know the answer to "I have a stupid question" and just might figure that the poster must not really want an answer since they could not be considerate enough as to provide a meaningful subject.
BTW, I do know how to find-out if a device is CID unlocked (and it is quite simple)..
sk7575: as a moderator, I'm expected to expound the philosophy and morality of the forum as well as I can, and to keep the forum in check as far as possible.
I use the “View Posts Since Last Visit” button to review all posts, very often, through the day. I try to answer every post I feel competent to impart useful information on. Your post title is unhelpful to me and every other member who might otherwise be able to help you. It doesn’t particularly bother me that you don’t wish to provide an unhelpful topic title, but if you take the address off your house, how do you expect people to find you?

I do have better things to do then delve into every unhelpful post. I do wish to get out more, but I'm stuck here responding to your "stuipid question".
Anyway, unfortunately I don't have a Wizard, so can't help you with CID locking etc, but I'm sure others could help you. Once again, I advise you to change the title of this thread.
I can do it for you if you're on citysearch.com.

Dude. You do not like vijay when he is angry And of all the members here, vijay is not the one you want to mess with You ought to be new here.
Anyway, if you want to make sure your phone is CID unlocked, just unlock it again. No harm done unlocking it twice.
If you want to CID-lock your phone (e.g. you should have stated this clearly on your question, so I do not have to list out 2 different scenario), the software you used to unlock your phone will have instruction how to lock it back using the CID-lock backup file it generates.
If you wanted to CID-lock your phone because.. ..
Anyway, I can list out many scenario, better if you just let us know what and why you want it.

PS thanks for updating the topic title sk7575. See, it got an answer in the end!

Thank you for your response, but I do believe I was pretty clear with my question. I simply want to know if there is any setting that can be checked to determine if it is unlocked or not, without having to unlock it again. If I wanted to know how to lock I would have asked "how do I CID lock it" .
To my knowlwdge you can't tell. Myself, I'd just unlock the phone, but that's me.
I have to agree with the Doctor, after posting your "stupid Question", you could have unlocked your phone at least 20 times with all programs available on this forum.
Then your "stupid question" would have been answered.
But here you are 24 hours later....................
still would be nice to see CID-lock-status without being forced to do an unlock..
Speaking only for myself, I've never cared whether I could tell if my device was locked or not. After making the decision that I was solely responsible for anything that I did to my PDA, most certainly voiding my warranty, and most likely not caused by nor endorsed by any present administration, I unlocked my CID and my SIM.
Now I am truly free indeed!
Any custom ROM updates published here i.e.: not official vendor updates, require that your phone is unlocked, period.
As I said, I speak only for myself, but after being here for a while I think I have the pulse of the contributors here regarding this. Unlock your phone. If you can't remember if you did, then unlock again. It's really no big deal.
thank you fellas, for the lesson on how to alienate people
I won't express any self-doubt or in this forum.
Janis, remember that most people are on the board because they need help, or want to help. sk7575 didn't do himself many favours by originally using an unhelpful post title. Fortunately he's corrected that - unfortunately, he hasn't quite found the answer he was looking for.
The guys and gals on the board can be *****y and obtuse, but at the same time, they can make exceptionally generous contributions of their time. I get a surprising number of posts from people saying that they are too frightened to post questions on the forum. This surprises me - everyone should read the forum rules (try clicking on my flaming V to find them), try searching the forum and wiki, but after that, any question goes as far as I'm concerned.
I hope that we don't alienate, and frankly, being geeks, we're probably all racked with self doubt and bad body odour. C'est la vie - it's the human condition.
Apologies to all offended!

Thanks for your assistance Vijay. I got better responses once I fixed my topic.
Regarding people being afraid to post. I'm not surprised. This forum, like any other tech forum, is full of 75% type A personality people that are intolerant and *****y when they think people ask questions that are beneath them. Not everyone is great at troubleshooting, and not everyone wants to spend the time that some of us do researching problems. Sometimes, non-tech people may come here, and all they want is an answer, and a quick answer. there is nothing wrong with that. They probably see the bigger picture better than some of us.
It always baffled me why people post *****y responses in forums. take for example the people that responded to my posts saying "just unlock again". Yeah, thats an answer, but is it too much to ask for some utility that checks if you are unlocked? My question was asked like that for a reason -- i was trying to flash some ROMs, was having some issues, and when I went to CID unlock it was giving me some errors. I came to find out later that it had nothing to do with CID unlocking, it was in fact unlocked, but it would've been nice to see an indicator of such.
My point?? If people dont like the question, just ignore it and move on. Even had I asked my original question in the new more detailed fashion I ended up asking it a day later, I still would've gotten the "just unlock it again" responses from people. To those people I again say, just ignore it if you are going to respond with a silly answer.

That would have been a fabulous original post for this thread, especially if you included the errors your were getting. Any details help others, I'd be willing to bet you'er not the first member here to encounter those issues.

You still dont get it then. You all didnt need to know those details, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WAS AN INDICATOR OF WHETHER THE BOOTLOADER WAS UNLOCKED.

I understand that completely but from the description you posted the problem wasn't even related to CID unlock status. Had you posted the actual issue chances are very good that within the first few responses someone would have pointed you in the right direction because they had experienced the same thing.
You see the problem you were trying to solve wasn't CID unlock but rather the errors you received while flashing the ROM. You thought it was related to CID unlock but in the end you were wrong. Had you stated the actual problem you were experiencing then you probably would have gotten to the solution a lot quicker.
That is the point I'm trying to make.
Got tilt last week.
Kinda scared to unlock with software. paid $10 for unlocking service on ebay. very fast.
I would like to flash the rom with a faster performing one but my main question is do I need jumspl or hardspl if it's unlocked?
Also when exactly do I install the radio?
is the order like this?
jumpspl, hardspl, radio, rom?
I did read the tons of pages, but no offense to anyone but it's not written in a user friendly kinda way. again, no offence.
What's the faster performing roms out there?
I'm also having problems wih my activesync. I got a red exclamation mark on the system tray. I have 3 unresolved items in the window. tried to fix them which are some favorites but need to install outlook. I can't sync anything else besides pics and videos as well. I do have outlook express working so what the heck does it want me to do?
any help appreciated.
You did not.

Oh yeah, and I cannot find a quote but its goes like this:
And dont ever try to ask, which one is the best/fastest ROMs.
saw that one and read, twice.. still doesn't answer questions. After phone is unlocked do I need jumpspl and hardspl? it talks about cid unlock, which i'm assuming i don't need since I unlocked? which still, it isn't written well. I have to say people , especially the seniors have little patience for giving new people guidance. The guide is not written well, and doesn;t answer any question I just asked except the rom question which I still don't why do people get so impulsive about that. It's not a nice way to treat new people IMO.
as well if you ask newbies, I will tell you the information is too spread out and quite unorganized. check this page tell me if you don't htink someone did this after smoking something:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397434
with 40000 links is a newbie supposed to understand with all those links.? I don't think so. I did see the link which shows the whole process and again, doesn't answer the specific questions.

Just for be safe - flash HardSPL.
You can always revert back to original one. Answer how to do it is somewhere in the Kaiser Wiki.
Hi, I was just wondering if any of you had seen anyone online that is planning on getting the mini3i and putting the rom online, and if any of you are planning to port it? I've tried searching but I can't hardly find anything other than everyone is saying that the phone comes out this week. Maybe that'd get the ball rolling on getting more devs to work on getting the ophone rom ported to our phones? I know detox has been working on it but the more the merrier!
Thread closed in 1.......2.......3........
sorry (10 chars)
Closed why? If it's in the wrong forum, I apologize, but my question at it's base is: is there anyone looking at this/is it being developed? I ask because if no one else is showing interest in it, then I may take it on if anyone can help me find the dump from the phone. But I know that there are others on this forum that will have it done much quicker/better than I could...
First of all, sorry if there's another thread like this on here, searching for stuff specific to the One can be a nightmare with the X and V out there.
For all of you who have unlocked your One already, are their any apps or anything that disappear? I've had my unlock code sitting around for awhile and I just want to be sure I know what I'm getting into before I do it. I'm not anticipating any problems, I just don't want any surprises!
Thanks in advance!

So...I apologize if this isn't in the proper section, as I was unsure of where to start this thread and have not really come across anything on this subject other than dealing with Android.But...... I've been searching for a solution to SIM unlock my Lumia 520 weather it be free or cheap. Apparently the Lumia 710 method will not work for this. So during my searches and attempts I got a few ideas...most have been forgotten lol but something that just hit me was the curiosity as to if there was a permanent software sim unlock that is in the works or that nobody has found or nobody is talking about. SO...with that said...does anyone know of such a program? i suppose we are halfway there when you consider the Dev unlocks...maybe this could even bring a solution for unlocking the bootloaders also...
Anyone?
