Hello,
Here's some concrete work from the IMEI update project.
Please use the attached file and report your findings here.
Instructions:
1. Extract the ZIP
2. Run the file iWizard
3. Make sure ActiveSync is running and your phone is connected via USB
4. Make sure Windows Mobile has finished booting
5. Click "Next" in iWizard, let it work (shouldn't take more than 10 seconds)
Let us know:
1. If iWizard worked:
a. The model of your phone
b. The IMEI # and checksum codes if you like (you can PM for your security)
2. If iWizard failed:
a. How it failed
b. Any error messages, or screenshots of failure
c. The model of your phone
The goals of this alpha release are as follows:
1. To determine which HTC phone models work with our method
2. To determine the algorithm of the IMEI checksum codes so we can update
Thanks for your interest!
Don't get too excited - this alpha release does NOT change your IMEI yet. That is coming soon, as soon as we know which phone models the above method works on and is reliable with!
Note: The iWizard works great on my i-mate k-jam.
I tried this a minute ago.
My qtek 9100 is connected to my pc, can synchronise with active synch but I received the error message I attached.
I have spv m500, its synchronized with my pc, but I recive the same error as canstb said...
sorry for my first quick reply.
I was thinking that my qtek9100 was cid unlocked apparently it was not. I used the tool lokiwiz v2b to unlock it and ran your program again.
and here is the result.
Thanks, please keep the results coming in! We'll figure what the checksum alg. is and then fix your phones :lol:
Guys, I think you should PM Sinan rather then publically posting your IMEIs.
As we all know, cloning and changing IMEIs may be illegal in your jurisdiction; additionally, publically posting your IMEI is liable to end up with it being cloned by thieves not from this board etc. Not wise, so be careful, and please stay legal.
V
thanks for your warning.
sinan, I am deleting my attachment to my previous message. if you need the info again, just ask for it.
can anyone tell how to download lokiwiz, and how can i find out if my Magician iz CID locked or not?
and is there any tool for unlocking SPV m500 (magician)?
thnx
Yes, can you please PM it? Also, did the tool accurately detect your real IMEI?
Everyone, please PM your IMEI and checksums for security...or if you're not comfortable with that, please just say if the tool correctly detected your IMEI on your phone model, and report the phone model.
aWizard/Lokiwiz can be used to CID unlock phones, available here on this forum as well...pretty easy to find and use them, they're free tools as well.
You may need to downgrade your ROM first...
i used lokiwiz to unlock my device, now some other message appears, here is the pic... and the program doesent stop, it tries to find imei, but it seems like it will never stop...
Is this on Vista? Please see if it works on a regular XP box...if not, thanks for letting us know, be sure to try with the next alpha.
no its not vista, its just a theme for xp.
so you think there might be a solution for my device to?
Was the unlock successful with the CID unlock tool?
I think you may need to downgrade your ROM and CID unlock your tool first.
According to what I've read in another discussions, this tool would work only on devices that store IMEI on DOC chips
These are - nearly all smartphones produced by HTC, and communicators like HTC Wizard and Prophet. The tool would never work on HTC Himalaya, BlueAngel, Universal, etc.
You can easily determine would the tool work on your device or not. Just take the ROM update tool, extract it with WinRAR. If it has the file "radio_.nbf" - the tool would not work at all.
The tool should not be called "HTC IMEI Restore Wizard" as it does not support all HTC devices. It should be renamed to something like "HTC IMEI-on-DOC Editor tool".

it is easy to determ which models work, just buy all the HTC devices and try yourself and you will know. I am doing same thing, since i don't want risc affect any of the users phones.

Rascal you sound like a baby. We should try to help each other, not put each other down. And remember business is business! You couldnt have thought that you would be the only person that could provide a imei repare tool forever!!
Maybe now you will drop the price of your dongle or even better, make the program work without the dongle!!
Hopefully the release of mimar's tool will drive you to produce better things.
AFAIK the Wizard has a radio rom file, doesn't it? I've used the tool on my Wizard just fine.
Raskal, tale the suggestions of our good friends here - update your obsolete sales mechanism, get rid of the pkey dongle, that will probably be the only way for you to remain competitive.
Great work MimarSinan
thanks for share and not change a my device imei ..
my device : HTC Magician
device name: MDA Compact
Your device is CID unlocked, right?

The spv M500 is a Windows Mobile 2003SE device. As far as I am aware this tool is for Windows Mobile 5 devices.
Hi there
Didn't know if this was the right place to post. But im developing this tool for flashing ROMs onto HTC devices. And when the flash process is done, im displaying the IMEI number on the display, so that the users can pack the devices back to their original box, without having to disassemble the unit, to find the right IMEI.
In the previous phones i developed this tool to, which covers MAGICIAN, ALPINE, BLUEANGEL, SABLE and BEETLES i did like this:
rtask a (enter radio bootloader)
rtask 7 (enter GSM Command debugging
AT+CGSM (get an info string that contains the IMEI)
I dont know if this was the right procedure, but it worked for me. But the new TyTN device doesnt recognize the rtask 7 command, and i just can't seem to find a way to get the IMEI no. now. If someone knows about this, please help.
Thanks in advance.

Here is the wiki page with information of the Hermes bootloader:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootLoader
I think the problem is that when you do "rtask a" you are in radio bootloader, and then you cannot enter "rtask 7" because rtask is not a valid radio bootloader command.
Is your tool available somewhere?
Unfortunately not... were using it in out company, because HTCs tool only flashes 1 phone at a time. We are selling ~1 million devices per year, so we needed another tool so i've developed this tool, so we can flash up to 16 devices at a time. But the company owns the program and the code, so i can't share it. BUT i'm willing to answer any questions which i can answer, regarding the flashing process.
OK, regarding your answer, in the "old" days i could do an rtask 7 after entering radio bootloader.... but it doesnt seem to work anymore. But there might have been another way.
ok, have u tried without "rtask a"... I mean just issuing "rtask 7" and "AT+CGSM"?
I don't know what you're using to debug this, but in mtty or minicom you cannot see the output when you talk to radio/gsm bootloader. A good idea is to use a USB monitor software and see what the bootloader really replies, I listed some here: i like the one from HHD software.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1023730&postcount=43
Let me know if you have a better / easier way to talk to the radio bootloader
Ahhh, ok... I tried with MTTY first, but i can just code it directly into my program. Its ready for sending and receiving data. Ill try the different setups, though my program instead, and come back when i know some more.
OK just tried a few different scenarios:
1)
rtask a (enter bootloader)
- Doesnt return with "USB>"
rtask 7
- returns "Invalid cmd..!"
AT+CGSN
- Returns "0" and a linefeed.
2)
This time without the rtask a
rtask 7
- returns "rtask 7USB>" and 0x13
AT+CGSN
- Returns "AT+CGSN Command Error !!USB>"
So... Still can't.
You should see something like 'AT-Command Interpreter ready', which bootloader version are you using?
Try issuing "[email protected]_USB" before "AT+CGSN" and see what happens...

I know, that was the message i got with all the previous phones. I'll try that command...
EDIT: Ok, when passing the command "[email protected]_USB" i get the message "Command Error !!". I passed it in between rtask 7 and AT+CGSN. But without the rtask a command.
Ok, just bumping this one last time. I hoped someone here could give me an option.
I'm curious too... if no one answers and you find it yourself please post it here, i'm suscribed to the thread.
YES... I got it.
After doing some testing and probing, i started throwing some random "rtask" commands to the phone... Well, turns out that "rtask b" is the old "rtask 7", which is the AT Command debugger.
So if anyone would be so kind to notify the dude whos doing this document
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootLoader
So he can keep it up to date?
And if you want to exit the AT Command Interpreter, you have to write "retuoR"
rtask a still works like before.
Thanks for your info, this is a great finding
Wiki bootloader page updated...
Hi,
I'm trying to put together a program for sending AT Commands over a serial connection from my PC to the XDA. Unfortunately my XDA doesn't respond to any of the commands, and in fact doesn't seem to be able to see any serial port data at all.
Does anyone know if there are settings I need to change to allow the XDA to be able to receive Serial data?
Thanks,
Simon
sure thing, the ultimate aim is to be able to send a command from a Destop PC to the XDA to get it to send an SMS. The specific method for doing this isn't too important, but atm AT Commands seems to be the most promising method.
Any advice you can give would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Simon
Hi All,
I am attempting to hook some EDB commands on a WM5 device, using mamaich's excellent file monitoring tool as a starter.
The problem I have is that I can't find the index for loads of the commands in the incomplete Platform builder code I have.
Does anyone know if these have been listed anywhere, or failing that a way of pulling them out of the dll's?
Things I'm looking for include
CeBeginTransaction()
CeOpenDatabaseInSession()
CeMountDBVolEx()
etc
Thanks muchly.
I was hoping you could help me with some research.
I'm looking into copying the data of my Herm100 JasJam using the 'rbmc' command in the bootloader (when connected to a PC using mtty). I'm hoping to take the data recovered from the phone and upload it into a Hermes or Windows Mobile 5 emulator.
I was hoping your combined knowledge could answer, specifically:
1. Do you think this senario is possible?
2. What format would you recommend save the file created by the 'rbmc' command?
3. Do you know of a Hermes or WM5 emulator which allows you to upload images?
Any assistance or comments would be greatly appreciated for my research.
Cheers
