Is there any way to CID/SIM unlock a herald?
It depends on where you go i from first. Most people I know have the straight from the factory herald. as far as I know thats all you can get at this point. If no carrier has officially launched it yet(seen a lot of prospecting but I can't remember seeing one on the carrier sites) then there is no need to unlock it, its already unlocked.
sorry to bring the subject up but i'm going to buy a htc in spain where it should be cid locked. Is there any way to put pof wwe rom?
thanks in advance

The new XDA terra from O2 germany will be SIM locked - i guess. How can I unlock. Just like a wizard with awizard?

Hey all
I just did the sim unlock and it work perfectly. Thanks!
But my question is what is this CID? and what does it unlock? What can I do
that to my phone if I run the unlock?
Thanks in advance
CID unlock will unlock the rom,
so you can update your rom with others than the official ones from the network provider you bought the phone from.
I would suggest doing this even if you plan on upgradeing to another rom from your same provider, b/c once you upgrade to a 2.x rom it becomes harder to do... (and once done it is permanent...)
What ROM upgrade would be suggested? I have a T- Mobile MDA primarly using Suncom network. And were would I find suggested ROM upgrade?
Get the 2.26 from the T-Mobile site.
How do you suggest getting the update off the TMobile site if I do not have a TMobile phone number which they request for the download. Is there somewhere else to get it or another way to get it. I also looked on the Suncom site for updates for the I Mate K Jam but there was none.
Hi all,
sorry for that newbie question, but while I am living in UK, I got the british Orbit. Being German on the other hand, I would looooove WM6, especially in German (Language doesn't really matter, but e.g. the Keyboard layout would help!)
So - what to do to upgrade it? Will I really have to pay to get it CID Unlocked? Is there a workaround (NBHTool / UpgradeTool) or would I miss something that would be upgraded otherwise too?
Or shall I just call o2, ask them to unlock or replace it (the actual device)?
Or will the update be released for british orbits too (I'd probably rather wait a bit instead of spending money)...
If your device is o2 branded, you can download the update from o2 Germany's site and try the upgrade. The way the interface works for these OEM upgrades are very safe. If the program cannot or will not upgrade your Orbit to WM6, it will tell you - not destroy your device. Worst case, just wait for o2 UK or HTC to release WM6, but I think having CID unlock is just a good idea in general because it open so many doors for you. its all the cooked, or otherwise modified ROMs that you have to watch out for. Not everyone has the same concept of 'stable platform'.
It is o2 Branded, but unfortunately o2 UK, so it does not accept the German release (tried yesterday) - one way or another, preferring to have WM6 in German, I guess I couldn't avoid the unlock, could I?
If you want the Deutsche sprache ROM right now, then yeah, then unlock seems to be the way. I want mine to be in English, so I am going to wait for o2 UK or HTC.
same **** with mine. I want to change it from Deutsch to English, so i'll wait for the UK o2 release. Do u know if i will (i suppose based on the opposite tries) be able to flash mine German O2 orbit to the UK version. I hate it like that really much.
With CID Unlock I was able to get the OEM HTC rom onto my German Orbit in English. There is a write up somewhere on how to do it. You have to use this program that Hex edits the files of the HTC rom and allows it to load in conjunction to having the phone CID unlocked.

I cant find the link to the ROm but this is what it is called -
HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP
I bought it in a computer center and separately choosed an operator (Bouyguestel) to work with.
I have no SIM from any other operator to check if i can access to the network. (or i have to ask a friend for it tomorow !)
Is it possible to know that by only entering my IMEI in a specialised website ?
I want to flash my P3300 with WM6 and the latest ROMs.

CID and Network are totally different things. Your device might be SIM unlocked but CID locked and vice versa. If your device is SIM locked. You have to pay some money to unlock it. If it is SIM unlocked but CID locked, it does not matter. You can put any ROM on your device as long as it is alive.

As far as I know a device is ALWAYS CID Locked until you unlock it! and with the Artemis, the only way to do this is to pay some money to www.imei-check.co.uk so as long as you did not pay them to unlock the device it is CID-LOCKED.

Correct, listen to him if you like your phone.
Thanks all for your precisions.
So i just can update my OS Rom, but if i don't want to crash my artemis, i should unlock its CID before radio or other Rom update.
help
My 02xda after an upgrade for wm6 stop at 02 boot screen, what can i do now???
help me please.
Hi everyone.
I have an Orange SPV M700 with WM6, Tengo Free and Tom Tom v6. All working nicely, thanks to all the help on this forum!!
I have one last problem, i have ordered a t-mobile PAYG sim card so i need to unlock my phone for it to work.
I have read the big thread about the CID unlocker and seems some people have been having problems with it uncluding myslef.
Can anyway give me the download that will work or a link to it??? I just want to to able to use t-mobile sim in my phone, but don't want to give orange £20 for privelage.
Cheers a lot guys.
As far as I've been lead to believe once you've flashed the WM6 you should be sim unlocked. That may (assuming I'm correct) be why you've had problems CID unlocking after updating as you're already unlocked.
To upgrade to WM^ i used the three files at the top pf the related thread. Not sure if any of those CID unlocked. Tried a virgin mobiel sim in it and didn't work?
Some phones won't unlock the SIM even with CID Unlockers. HTC, O2 and Voda tend to be unlocked by default; Orange and T-Mobile phones are supplied SIM locked.
I've done the WM6/Radio update and my SPV M700 remains SIM locked to Orange.
I think the only effective way over this is to pay £20 to IMEICheck for a full SuperCID Unlock. Their service is superb if you are willing to pay the price!
Download this and follow the instructions (1 step really) ... http://pof.eslack.org/trinity-unlocker/
Mine is an Orange M700, was SIM and CID locked with original Orange ROM. Ran the above unlocker and could use any SIM on Orangae ROM. Then updated with WM6 and new radio ROM and the phone is still SIM unlocked and SuperCID unlocked. No need to pay any money for this simple thing.

Cool- I'd missed that one! Know he did one for the Hermes
One thing to watch if you are paranoid about Warranties, is that this version works by updating the Radio ROM, which technically is a warranty breach (though as most Orange Techs are so ignorant about these devices, they'd probably not know anyway!)
nice am goin to give it a try
Hi

I think you'll find the answer in this post - just added this post to the wiki for future questions
If you're unsure - butter use USPL one time too much than too little
Cheers, Peter
i have the MDA 3 from tmobile thats CID unlocked isnt it?
The MDA III is CID Locked by T-Mobile, you will need to run USPL first
