Hello guys, can this Pocket PC from cingular be unlocked? I just got it.
I am not sure if i have all the tools and know how to unlock this fone so i will continue to read & wait for help. Thanks

search this board for lokwiz and take it from there, the search function works, please use it.
I'm in the same boat as him. I've been thinking of CID unlocking my phone for awhile. I have the 2.25 spl/ipl as well with a 2.25.11 rom. And as far as i can tell from reading threads, lokiwiz does not cid unlock this rom.
edit: I have tried looking alot for a way to CID unlock my phone. I get alot of conflicting and confusing information. Some people say to just downgrade my rom to one wiht a 1.xx spl/ipl. Others tell me that that is impossible to do in the first place. I've tried looking and i cant find any rom that has a 1.xx spl/ipl that would even install on my CID locked wizard. If this is indeed the way i and the thread starter are supposed to do it, then can you point me in the direction of a downgraded rom that will work with a CID locked cingular phone? I would be very gratefull.
taking the time to read some threads you would find that downgrading to a 1.xx rom and then doing the cid unlock and sim unlock would fix your problem... some people that say this dont work may be referring to a G4 wizard, one who's IPL/SPL is 2.xx.0001. And they are right, this does not work on a G4, only the G3, which if you are lacking the .0001 at the end of your IPL/SPL then you have a G3... all of this info can be found from searching and reading
I did read from a few sites and am not new to forums. The instructions i saw said there is nothing out for I.P 2.21 and above unless u pay and use JAFWM.
Shogun, prob as a senior member u can shed some light as more ? will be asked in days to come or make a sticky with the truth.
BTW, i do have lokiwiz2o and have used it to unlock MDAIII but not sure what works on mine & dont want to cause it to crash. Speak if u have the 'right' truth.

please re-read my above post, it gives you instructions.. what i forgot to mention though was after you donwgrade to do the unlock, you will need to upgrade to an official rom that will have the updated bootloaders(IPL/SPL) before you can flash someone's cooked rom (and i only say that cause not all of us chefs include the updated IPL/SPL's so that someone with a G4 doesnt brick their phone)

I know i have a G3 device. Are you saying that all i have to do is downgrade to a 1.xx ipl/spl rom. Run lokiwiz 2b. And then i can go directly to a cooked rom because i do not have a g4 device? Speciffically i would like to troy out molskie's 30mb free rom. And possibly yours as well.

well yes kinda, i added a part below that, it said you may want to flash an official rom since most cooked roms dont include the updated IPL/SPL..
Hi Guys...im no expert, and im kinda a noob at this. But this is what I did with my Cingular 8125. I have a G3 phone, SIM unlocked onle IPL/SPL 2.26. I've updated it with a Cingular standard ROM. I realized my phone was NOT CID unlocked, so I decided to try this step for step http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263116&highlight=wizard+backup the important part i believe is downgrading the ROM, also, make sure you unzip the lokizwiz file in the ROOT of the C:\ drive, then open a command prompt and run it from there (assuming your running Windows). After that, I upgraded with a Tmobile Standard ROM to upgrade the IPL and SPL back to 2.26, then I installed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276700&highlight=cingular+8125 and it worked like a charm. Thats just from my personal experience, as I said im just a noob and not an expert. I hope that helps in some way.
My hats off to these people that create these custom ROM, THESE GUYS ARE GOOD ! ! !
Thanks to all the custom ROM makers out there.
please help me on my mda i'm trying to unlock it?! help me to unlock the simlock?! please?! i use lokiwiz02b but nothing happens?!
read the wiki.
You need to check if your wizard is a G3 or a G4 device.
do a soft reset and check your IPL/SPL; a G4 PDA will report an IPL and SPL similar to 2.21.0001 and a G3 PDA will report something similar to 2.21 (notice the G3 doesn't have the trailing .0001!)
if you have a G3 check out this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
if you have a G4 check out the threads in the G4 Section.
I know reading all the stuff in here may seem annoying but it really helps.
enjoy!
If you have the MDA 90 days call T-Mobile and get the unlock code/sequence from them. It's free and they will give it to you.
Since I added my MDA to a family plan they gave the unlock code/sequence without the 90 day wait.
Yeah, it's not as slick as a cool program, but it does work and it is free.
I have a prophet with ipl and spl showing 2.10.0001. I want to flash it to a better rom or one with an unlocked rom.
Anyone know where a rom is available which will work with this. I have tried a couple of shipped roms but it just fails and shows invalid vendor id. The rom for spl 2.15 which I tried is no good.
Anyone know how to cid unlock this model. Please help.
You don't need to unlock your CID for upgrade to a better ROM.
Just use http://rapidshare.com/files/22972927/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe.html
and thereafter you can install your favorite WM5 or WM6 - if you want.
More information you'll find at Prophet upgrading forum.
CID Unlock
Thanks for replying, I will try this later.
I would like to unlock cid though as I have never favoured any type of lock on my phones. As it is my property I would prefer to have full control over it.
I will let you know how this no vendor rom attempt goes. Thanks.

You've a G4 device, so it's a little bit complicated to unlock it. Search the G4 forum for solutions.

A good place to start would be this thread.
Or, you could also read the Wiki.

Yes. Once you unlock using lokowiz, you can flash any other Carriers' ROM or a custom, cooked ROM.
Just be sure to read about the difference between a G3 and G4 device before trying anything. It will only work on a G3.
If you have a G4, you need to read the Wizard G4 forum to find out how to flash ROM's without unlocking.
Hey guys,
The newbie with too much time here...(again) , I got a few questions due to a prob i'm havin. i Just bought a T-Mobile MDA from eBay for my wife and need to unlock it for cingular. i followed the procedure as I did with my 8125 however it won't give. i repeated the steps to ensure i did it just as advised and the result was the same. Upon looking over everything in frustration i realized that it had already been loaded with T-Mobile ROM ver. 2.26 . So my questions basically are as follows:
(1) does the fact that it's got a more updated rom mean i need a newer version of lokiwiz than 02?
(2) what the frig do i do to get this bugger to where i can go back the "simple" process of unlocking and loading the new titanium rom?
and finally...
(3) If i am doing something wrong can someone guide me in the right direction with a few "parently words of advice" for my new adventure?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

NVM!!
I goofed i overlooked a earlier post that showed that the rom can me CID unlocked by unlicking the SIMlock with the new LOkiwiz3 then downgrading to an older Standard rom then running the old Lokiwiz2 then ur free to load whatever floats ur boat(as long as you remember there is still the possibility to "Brick" ur device, so take care).
