Hy!
Does anybody know wich way the SIMLOCK works?
Is it a software (Rom) or part of the GSM module? (Firmware?)
Please post informations if available ...
Thanks :wink:
Ever heard of a little thing called "Searching" ?!
Check the wiki link on the top left of the page..
XDA unlock tool..
The little thing ...
This explains how to unlock the older devices ...
But i cant really understand how the LOCK really works.
Is the lock is in the radio bootloader - right?
And is it possible to change the code from a unlocked device
to a locked once?
I offer German T-Mobile ROM image - if anybody needs ...
(From a locked once, or a non locked device!)

Dear Manipulator developers,
I have a XDA simlocked to O2 and need your help for unlocking cause it didnt worked by now!
If i hold Power Button and press the softreset there comes the red green blue screen with:
Wallaby Bootloader V5. 14
GSM OK
if i put in my serial cable(bought on ebay) and start the Manipulator..there stands:
GSM turn on
already on restet....
and then it disappears and there stands:
"GSM turn on
sucsess..
ok but in the software there stands :
Status: ready
sidlock : <none>
Gidlock: <none>
IMEI: some numbers
keep first 8 digits is hooked
call timers: zero
no reset button anymore cause i pressed it allready!
if i startet the program the first time there was no "unlock button" just reset button..
now there is notthing to press??
what must i do?
if i start this software it founds the xda on com 1!so everything seems to work!??
please help me!
greets
Daniel
PS: i can change the numbers in the field "IMEI" but that is dangerous or not my imei is my phone id!?
oh what might be important:
i have not done an "autokonfiguration" for O2 network..cause this is downloading the smart menu stuff thet i dont wanted..
have i to do this autokonfiguration to use the manipulator correctly?
or has it nothing to do with the autoconfiguration of my mobile phone?
please help me i am as far as before!
PS:i think this Forum is getting too big..maybe the chifs of this great site could make categories for the forum?!
like "tecnical questions-hardware questions-software questions and so on..
one more question..
if u read my post above u see that i am trying to unlock my simlock on O2..but now..i thought about it..what is if this what stands there (simlock : <none>) is correct!!?? i dont have a simlock?!maybe..look i can use a D2 simcard..all works fine but!:if i loose networksugnal..i have to turn off an on again the mobile..cause otherwise it would stay without neworksignal the whole day!..my question:do i have a simlock??
or wouldnt it be able to use any other card if i had a simlock to O2?
pleas help!

From the above I would conclude your phone is indeed not SIMlocked, but you are experiencing problems related to Radio Stack version 4.14. The answer is to upgrade to 4.16 or 4.17, which both exist and are floating around, but haven't been offered as official upgrades yet.
But if i put my xda in bootloader moder there stands version 5.14!
if i reet it normaly there stands 3.14? which is my radio version?
wher can i get a new one for germany?
can i upgrade via dockingstation?
Version numbers
There is a whole bunch of version numbers associated with the XDA:
The Microsoft PocketPC OS version
The HTC software version (3.00.01 through 3.15.something)
The Radio Stack version
The protocol bytes
The Wallaby Bootloader version
Each version number represents the version of some different part of the software. Your bootloader is a separate thing with a separate version number, not related to the rest of the ROM. Your bootloader could well be present before the device gets a plastic casing and is told whether it's going to live a life as an O2 XDA. a T-Mobile MDA or a Siemens SX56.
A certain HTC version will be built based on a certain release of the PocketPC OS, with all the HTC specific drivers and additional (O2 or T-Mobile) related programs added.
The Radio Stack version depends on the software loaded into the GSM part of the device, and can vary independently from the OS. There's different versions depending on whether its a 900/1800 (Asian/European) or 900/1900 (American) phone.
ok but where can i get a update for a german xda?can i get it free without paying in an O2 shop?
Where can updates been found?and how do i upgrade my rom version?

I can't unlock my phone to use my two SIMCards
HELP me ...
Please
(It's ORANGE FRENCH SPV M600 !)
not working on a qtek s200
Right, let me get this straight...
"Lockiwiz can only unlock your Prophet device if your Rom version is 1.XX.XXX. For the new AKU2 ROMS (i.e Orange M600 ROM) there is no solution yet."
If this is the case, then can we use A-Wizard or the hacked romupdateutility to FLASH back to a pre-AKU2 ROM and then use Lokiwiz to unlock the device, and then flash back to a 'latest AKU2 ROM' (Dopod one is latest and greatest atm) and continue to have a SIM UNLOCKED device???
Please can someone try this? I get my M600 in a week and need to be able to unlock it. Am in the USA atm and need to use a T-Mobile SIM in it.
Appreciate any help.
in theory that would work.... the problem is that i havent seen any rom 1.xx for qtek s200 except for an arabic one or the one from imate jamin. unfortunately, not even with the modified romupdateutility we can flash roms from previous versions from the one installed on prophets...
not only that needs to be corrected, but then someone would have to get a non-aku2 rom, costumize it and then flash it so that the sim lock can be removed.
i need to unlock my prophet too, but i predict a long waiting period ahead...
Doesn't work on my Qtek S200 either :?
I have just CID unlocked my Qtek s200.
What I did.
Downgrade to JAMin_WWE_1000925_10009114_11420_ship.exe
You will need to use a hacked version of the rom update utility or something like JAFWM.
Next I ran awizard latest beta.
And chose unlock rapi.
and then unlock CID.
My qtek s200 was then unlocked. I checked this by running r2sd all command from bootloader.
Hope that helps someone. I will detail these steps and add them to the wiki page for the prophet.
I've tried the following 3 ROMS with the "NoVendorID" loader:
RUU_Prophet_1001321_10013102_11320_DopodAsia_Ship
JAMin_WWE_1000925_10009114_11420_ship
JAMin_Arabic_1000927_10009115_11420_ship
Unfortunately none of them would load as the version was older than the current one on the phone.
Anyone know if it is the loader on the PC that is rejecting the "nk.nbf" file due to its version being lower than the one already on the phone, or is it the loader that is in the phone?
It should be easier to create a hacked loader for the PC so I hope it's that way. It might be a bit risky to hack the loader on the phone as you're in trouble if that goes wrong and you loose the loader on the phone.
Perhaps the old "nk.nbf" file could have its embeded version number tweeked to look new enough? Sounds like the simplest approach, although there are no doubt checksums to make it more difficult.
Or is there a utility to erase all of the phones FLASH except for the loader. Surely it would not complain about any version you loaded then?

It is possible with JAFWM 2.0
Release of JAFWM 2.0 will be 17 of June, there is unlocking implemented but it will be not for free, every handset will cost one credit. Unlock procedure takes around 10 seconds and does not require any technical knowledge.
Since no need downgrade the phone, you also no need worry to damage the phone.

How much is 'one credit' in real money?
For each JAFWM serial number is only one FREE credit possible. Test it, and post here your opinon. I give only 100 free credits to 100 different
We are testing now the beta 4 with Typhoon, Hurricane, Tornado, Wizard/Prophet, Charmer, Prodigy unlock support. Any rom version is supported, please do not try downgrade your phone before, just leave it in ORIGINAL STATE.
Please ask ONLY for a free credit if you really got the phone on hand and can test it right now.
How it works:
1.) make sure you update your pkey online
2.) download latest beta from http://files.odeon.cn/JAFWM
3.) post here your JAFWM serial number and i will add 1 credit to your dongle
4.) put your phone in BOOT MODE
5.) connect cable and press the UNLOCK button
6.) post here your unlocking log and also your opinion, honest opinion, no matter if negative or positive.

i have the c800 with rom 1.7 , i would like to upgrade to newer version at 1.8 but at 2 % was stoping with note : INVALID VENDOR ID
Can somebody help me to this problem, i would like to upgrade to wm 6 and need the radio version more than 2.71 instead the original asia at 2.69
This lowest version make the signal always keep searching on gsm..with wm 6 os , really sad for this problems..hoping somebody can help this problem
Invalid Vedor ID means that your device is CID-locked, so you can only flash official ROM's to your phone. You can however unlock your phone at imei-check.co.uk.. BUT a person has already bricked his device with this, because it did not work properly! At this tim of speaking there is no alternative for CID-unlocking.
CID unlock...
...i have an Herald to. The OS was in finish(i think)...the only way i found to write an WWE OS...wrote to IM CHECK.CO.UK...in same day send me the application for my IMEI to unlock. I made the unlock under Vista Home Premium...now i have a brand new WWE OS in my HERALD.
Try it...it realy work.
CID unlock...
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
But the CID unlock for what is? It's for a phone which is blocked to a company?

While the phone is on, press the soft reset button with the stylus while holding the camera button. You should then see a tri-colored screen(this is the bootloader mode, to exit simply soft reset again). What version does it say next to IPL? If it is 4.0 or higher, you need to flash HardSPL, found here. Don't do it anyway if your IPL is lower than that, it will turn your phone into an expensive doorstop. If you do have the right IPL, then proceed to flash the HardSPL, then choose your ROM and install it. However keep in mind, you won't be able to install any official ROMs while HardSPL'd. But official ROMs suck anyway.

The simple answer is that CID lock is the thing that prevents you from flashing a ROM other than one specifically designed for your device. And it is safe to assume that your device is locked unless you unlocked it or had someone unlock it for you.
EDIT: a more thorough explanation can be found here:
http://www.htcwizardweb.net/node/170
NOTE: the unlocking procedure on that page is for the Wizard, not the Artemis. The explanation as to what a CID and SIM lock is can be considered valid for most smartphones/pocketpcs though.
I understood but, does exist un soft program can tel me if my phone is lock or not?
Unless you unlocked it, it is locked. That said, there is no program I am aware of that will tell you whether a phone is CID Locked or not.
don't know if anyone noticed this or if i missed the post or what (i searched!) but heres what i think is a cidunlock from pdaviet.
HERALD-USPL-Beta3by POF
PS i'm still not even sure what a cid unlock is if anyone wants to fill me in.
Yes, technically it IS a cid-unlock.
However, it's still in beta and unless you're technoproficient, you probably shouldn't install.
Now to answer your question.
There are two kinds of locks :SIM and CID
Sim locks keep you locked to a certain network
CID locks prevent you from flashing a different rom
Both can be circumvented, but that takes time and hard work.
For heralds and wings, you can always use aserg's method for flashing, which is brilliantly simple, but you have to have an RUU to do it correctly.
The problem with this is that some Herald models *cough*XDA terra*cough* don't have an RUU, Heralds, like ALL ppcs, are CID-locked to that particular redistributor's RUU. This is where CID-unlocking comes in. If you can CID unlock, you can flash any rom you need, including other companies RUU.
Poor XDA terra people.
unlock herald
hi there!
i would like to know if was possible to flash this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366845) in my Herald with CID locked..
or,
if is not possible, i would like to know if there are some free way to make a CID unlock to my herald?
my herald have now the portuguese ROM (4.17.410.2 PTG and RADIO 02.94.90), that i had updated from wm5 Oficcial ROM.
thanks for your atenction, and i'm sorry for my bad english.. :S but it's not my native language and i don't practise a lot.. :S
Thanks,
Eagler
does your service provider provide a wm6 upgrade for you phone? If so, it is best to flash it first.
Once you have done so, check to see if your SPL is greater than 4. you can do so by entering bootloader by soft resetting and holding the camera key.
If it is indeed above 4, you have two solutions for a CID unlock.
One choice is USPL, which temporarily CID unlocks your phone.
The other is HardSPL, which permanentl CID unlocks your phone. Relocking it from HardSPL (if you have to send it in for service, for example) can be difficult.
In the future, please search before posting and do not resurrect threads this old. When this thread was first replied to, aserg's way was still the primary technique for flashing (just to give you an idea of how old this is)
