Hi, my question is STRANGE, but I read in other Topic that the GUY only UPDATE the T-Mobile USA with WM2003 ROM (4.00.16) and his phone is Unloking.
This is true???, so, How can I Know if my Phone is Locked or not??
Thanks friends.

well.... basicaly, if you can put ANY SIM in your phone and it works, its unlocked. but if only the sim from where you got the phone works, its locked!

Thanks ntabikha, but ... NO is Possible check inside the PocketPC???, any Option or any program???
Thanks.
¡¡Salud!!-2

CID unlocked---imei-check.co.uk

I just couldnt wait any longer to get past CID lock, so I unlocked at http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
(removes SIM/NETWORK LOCK - use any provider, removes CID lock - flash any firmware)
costs: 30,68 euros.
good news: cid unlocked, upgrade to any rom now possible!
accept ,my apologies
youve lost me with jargon
im new to xda
so what is cid??
what was it before 02???
so is it liek a plain normal htc now>>
did you lose any data??
is the gps affected?
CID unlock
Could someone send a file with extension unl, which was normally provided by imei-check to unlock your device.
It may bring a good idea to spl modification.
Thanks in advance.

hi to all
cid unlocking is same with sim unlocking
i am wrong ?

CID unlock is not the same as SIM unlock.
if we talk about imei-check service they do the both.
you can read it here:
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/c3unlock.php
you can use any sim card.
Good job I saw this thread, I was going to do mine tonight!!
I'll wait and be a team-player.

I think if you're able to flash your device with a ROM from HTC, DOPOD or O2... its CID unlocked...

Duhh... wouldn't it be better to find out before trying to flash any ROM? Suppose you think the device is unlocked but actually it isn't, then you might end up with a bricked phone.

CoolGadget,
If I had the original T-mobile Rom then I would've just taken the risk but I don't and that's why I'm a little worried.
I'm still looking for it but it seems like it doesn't exist anywhere!
If anyone can help me out then I'd really appreciate it.
Regards.

T-Mobile ROM
The original T-Mobile ROM is available on T-Mobile website amongst many others. I really dont think there is another way to confirm you have CID-unlocked your set, unless you flash it.
Though the report of many who have used imei-check seems to suggest it gets CID-Unlocked

I allways thought it would be possible by running the mtty program. Wasn't the command Info 2 for getting the status? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I haven't tried it though, because my phone is certainly locked and I don't want to pay for getting it unlocked.
info 2 and info 4 do not work for the Artemis.
Guys thanks for your replys. I've managed to track down the original Tmobile ROM for the MDA 3 (thanks to some guys here). so now I'll be using imei check to unlock it, once done, I'll go ahead and install any ROM other than Tmobile and if it works then I'll know my device is CID unlocked. If it doesnt then I have the Tmobile ROM to fall back on.
Hopefully it will work otherwise I'll be getting in touch with imei check immediately!
Thanks for your help guys.

Artemis Unlock Reminder

I haven't heard anything about unlocking the P3300 lately...
So guys, this is a reminder!
Let's join forces to unlock this friggin machine!
I'm trying things myself, but it looks like I'm the only one...
(I could be wrong)
But after I've seen the P3600 unlock soft download link in the "Trinity" side
of the forum I went kinda crazy...
Dudez.. Let's ROCK and UNLOCK!!!! (plz)
any luck so far ? will a hard reset plus soft reset (to delete the T-Mobile soft) work ? Hope to hear from you.
thom
2 delete t-mo $hit just soft rst when popup "..customizing your dev will start in 3sec" or how is it
Dudez... U can't just delete the simlock...
It's not possible by Hard-Resetting or Soft-Resetting...
U need to have a lot of experience with cracking/hacking to get the simlock off, but nowadays hackers/crackers became lazy...
I'm trying my best to study, but it takes a lot of time and I don't think I'm going to be able to research this within a few months. I'm not good enough.
But I'm doing my best...
How about you experts? Does the coffee taste good!?

Very well noticed.. Thank you!
Wheres POF et al !
I wonder if Pof has joined forces with imeicheck.co.uk to stiffle his bid to provide the free version of the Atemis Unlocker for the masses....
Well, if anyone sees him, tell him not to let us all down...
Maybe Wm6 will inspire someone, demand for the device will surely increase.
Will it make the unlock procedure slightly different?
Trust Pof he will something out for us,i have also posted in the Trinity and Hermes forum requesting Pof,Des and Olipro for the SSPL tool for the Artemis,im sure they are working on it,lets hope something fast comes out of it.

dont think (or I dare to say) that unlock procedure doesnt depend on OS version. Maybe on radio and bootloader - unlock Universal U have to use some special radio, SSPL is some part of bootloader if i remember.
need help please on htc device supercid
Hi i do the operation to unlock sim and cid a lot of times with herm_unlock_V3a and i can't restore my imei using jafwm restore (i bought the jafwm dongle), it always says me the same error "could not save data to sd card, your phone must be unlocked, your sd card must be empty". Thanks a lot for your help!

How do I check if my phone is unlocked?

ok.. I got the IMEI unlocker and ran it, and it went through the whole process and appears sucessful, how do I check and see if my phone is unlocked?
Just put in a SIM from another network provider - that should proof it! If your phone is unlocked it should work, if not it will ask you to enter the unlock code!
That applies with the CID unlocker I used from IMEI check? or is that just SIM unlock?
Well, you did not clearify what UNLOCK you were reffering to! The CID unloack you won't know unless you actually try to reflash your device with a non-provider ROM ...
Thanks for the help though, I flashed my device succesfully and am a proud WM6 user now.

Using my Artemis in the USA?

Hey guys, please excuse my noobness, I have read thoroughly but I am still confused!
I have an O2 Orbit (ie Artemis) and I am going to the USA soon.
I've become a bit confused as to what I need to do to my Artemis to get it working with a prepay sim in the states.
I've seen the posts about cid unlocking, but I'm not sure if that's the same as a sim unlock, and I don't want to brick my phone!
I'm not too bothered about cooked roms etc, I have updated to WM6 and I'm reasonably happy with it, I just want to be able to use my phone in the USA.
Would someone be kind enough to take the time to explain what I need to do?
Thanks
I forgot to add, I tried this tutorial to perform a sim unlock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400445
but unfortunately the 'artemis sim unlock' download link is broken
I think it should already work in the US. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that only phones bought in the US from a provider are SIM-locked. CID unlocking is only used to help you flash your phone to a different ROM, which, as you already mentioned, you are not interested in doing.
I see, so CID unlocking is nothing to do with what I want, I simply need a SIM unlock, assuming my phone is SIM locked.
SIM locking is normal practice for UK service providers, so I assume it is locked.
Is there any way I can tell if my phone is SIM locked, or do I have to test it by putting a SIM card from a different provider in it?

HTC Hero Orange unlock help needed

Hi
Im new to this forum as this is my first post in this forum.
I recently purchased a HTC Hero phone in ebay locked to Orange UK. I still didnt receive the phone yet. and I have a small doubt in unlocking.
I heard that orange users are having issues in unlocking Orange Hero.
Saw that i need to update the firmware to 2.73.61.66 inorder to unlock the HTC Hero.
My doubt is do i need an Orange sim inorder to update the firmware or without a sim will I be able to unlock the phone. because i live in Sri Lanka and i dont have a sprage orange sim.
No no, don't worry, you will be fine to unlock and install custom ROMs without an Orange SIM.

thanks for the reply
but can you mention how to do that without a orange sim?
cz when comes to android im a complete noob and this is my 1st android OS phone.
You dont need any SIM card to be able to flash custom ROMs. And to be able to input a network unlock code you just need a non-orange SIM if the phone is locked to orange.
