Would it be do-able to use the Gold Card to SuperCID the phone and then QMAT to pull the Radio Rom out of the phone? I'm trying to get it out of the CDMA Touch Pro 2

no, to do pdump in qmat, you must have security unlock and rtask, supercid is totally irrelevant to this.

Just out of curiosity:
If I buy unlock code from say IMEI Check and CID unlock my device, would I ever need to run Hard SPL or Soft SPL to upgrade/downgrade my Trinity? Then going forward, can I just run any custom/cooked/original ROMs without worrying (since my device is permanently unlocked)? Please don't ask me why I want to pay for this when there are so many free alternatives - I don't know the answer
Last but not least, which method of unlocking preserves the warranty? Can the device be locked back just in case I need to take it to service?
Thank you! (I know these qns have been answered many times in this forum, but I just want to reassure myself that I got it all correctly)
As far as I know, IMEI-Check will completely unlock the device, allowing ROM upgrading etc without the need for additional hard SPL or softSPL.
Unlocking in itself doesn't affect the warranty, so you could simply use IMEI check to unlock for use of another SIM card. Further than that, flashing a new, unofficial Radio or OS ROM will technically invalidate the warranty. Most of the free unlockers actually work by flashing the Radio ROM, so in that case IMEI Check is safer as it retains the original ROM.
Once unlocked, there is no way to relock a device, but as long as you have the Operators own ROM in place, the lock status won't be looked at.

Yes, you'll also need to use SSPL / HardSPL if you plan to flash cooked roms (unsigned) in NBH format using the RUU updater.
You'll not need to use SSPL / HardSPL if you plan to flash shipped official ROMs (signed) using the RUU updater or if you you extract the *.nb files from the NBH upgrade and flash from mtty using LNB command in imei-check's MFG bootloader (which doesn't check signatures). You won't be able to flash unsigned code with the standard RUU Updater or SD card using imei-check's bootloader.

Original roms yes, you can flash them without worrying, but you'll have to re-run imei-check's unlocker everytime you want to flash your device with an original rom not matching your CID as CID unlock is not permanent (it disappears when you flash the radio).
As for custom/cooked roms, no, you'll have to worry about a) using HardSPL/SSPL or extracting the *.nb from NBH and flash from mtty, as it's the only way to flash unsigned code with imei-check's bootloader.

- imei check, as long as you replace the bootloader with a standard one before returning your device
- free unlocker, as long as you don't check the "superCID" option when you run it and you flash a standard radio back into it after SIM unlocking.

Depending on why you have to take it to service, but basically yes if it's working.

It will SIM unlock, but the CID unlock will only stay as long as you don't replace the RADIO after unlocking. If you flash another radio, then you'll need to re-run imei-check's unlocker again to have it CID unlocked again. And remember that for flashing a cooked rom you don't just need a CID unlocked device, but also need to bypass signature checking.

But it replaces the SPL on the device by a 1.01MFG SPL, so the warranty is technically void. And it also modifies the radio, but keeps the existing version.

That's true in most cases.
Thanks Pof
Thank you very much, pof! That's clear and exhaustive answer!
Are the instructions the same for the Non-CDMA? I don't want to brick my Sprint Diamond....
Thanks.
You will brick your phone if you try the gsm version of the unlock. I have a sprint diamond and i just unlocked it using this tutorial: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062
What's the purpose to unlock a CDMA phone? I can understand to unlock a GSM phone, then you can use any other SIM card.

In order to load a custom ROM you must "unlock" the phone first. Thus, the need to unlock this CDMA phone first before playing around with cooked ROMs.
diamond doesn't responde after unlocking
hi to all PLZZ i need help
i install the unlocker without cheking the version cdma or the other version
and in the Pc the program shows then the program was installed 100%
but phone doesnt open any more i tryed hard reset but..nothing.
I don't know what t do plzz HELP M
Try taking battery out, then place it back on, press DOWN and POWER it should go into programming mode, try installing the right unlocker.
Is there some easy way to see if it is SIM unlocked? I don't have any SIMs I can put into it to test, so I'm wondering if there is a way to see it via the software. This is for an AT&T Tilt.
Thanks.

Follow the guide posted above. After unlocking it you might have issue when connecting to other carrier s network so be sure they are using compatible frequencies. I'm almost sure you will not be able to connect it to any other CDMA carrier. Normally CDMA carriers will not accept a phone on their network if not sold by them.
Next time if you are planning to switch carriers, buy a gsm phone, much easier! even with a locked gsm phone, you'll only need to sim-unlock the phone with a purchased code then put in any gsm sim card.
Sorry I can't help you more, I'm not familiar with the WLS variant.

Actually i was using this phone before and i tried to update my phone somethin went wrong and ended up without os so now i installed viperone and i'm unable to use it now
Hey guys i got a SFR (France) sim locked M7 running latest lollipop firmware. When i insert any sim other than Vodafone it reads it but doesn't register to the network neither asks me for an unlock code.
With a Vodafone sim i only have cell phone connection when i'm on 4G coverage. On any other band i only get data connection and i can't make or receive any calls or sms.
After searching around internet (xda the most) i found out that i can sim unlock with a config.dat file but only if i'm on earlier hboot as this method was patched by htc and trying it could render the phone unusable..
So i have 2 questions now:
1) Is it possible to downgrade to let's say 1.28.401.7 (as i already have this RUU) without bricking the phone? Or, in other words, is it possible to downgrade the phone to any firmware before kitkat?
2) If it ain't possible to downgrade is their any other way to sim unlock the phone??
Thanks in advance for any help..

If you have s-off, you can downgrade to any version you want safely by flashing a ruu.
sieempi sim-unlock should work fine, I think clsA also sim-unlocked one of his M7 using this method. Otherwise it looks like Sunshine s-off tool can also be used to sim-unlock since a recent update. Check changelog 3.1 and 3.1.1 here: http://theroot.ninja/download.html
Nice find bro.. I'll try sunshine right now and if it can't unlock I'll go for the other method.
Thanks a lot..
