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 ?
i will pay money but i will work my phone wiht all simcards
thanks for repply

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.

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.

Questions regarding Unlocking and Flashing

Hi,
I tried searching for the answers but got none.
If I flashed my orbit, do I have to re-unlock my phone again?
Is there any link that teaches beginners how to flash from the start?
Thanks,
Jackey

No, once unlocked is always unlocked. It is not stored inside the ROM itself, but in a separate location on the phone.
Flashing can be quite simple: establish a ActiveSync connection, run the ROM.exe from the pc and follow the instructions on the screen. I read somewhere that some possible difficulties might be avoided by performing a hardreset before starting the procedure.

GRUN: not really, if U flash DOPOD ROM UR device is simlocked again.then U need again unlock

Are you sure? I've never heard this before, and asking myself why a firmware would do such a thing? What's the advantage? Furthermore, as far as I know, the key to locking/unlocking is to know the IMEI code. How does the firmware know the IMEI code of my phone?

yes i'm 100%sure, but its maybe in this ROM is if i remember new radio and SPL, maybe there is lock check included in ROM somewhere. but i run c3unlock again and everythink works fine after that. btw. i guess there is no prob for any app to get UR imei and compare to imei range( ie: dopod "made" artes have imerange for example from 000-100 - and if your imei is out of range ... is locked and as i remember from imei you can get infos about manufacturer, phone type ......)

herald cid unlock

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)

How to CID-LOCK a Device?

Yeah, you've read right - I want to CID-Lock my device. Because of some reception issues, i have to send it for repair. I've still warranty on it, but it's unlocked by imei-check.co.uk, so I have to lock it again. Anyone knows somethin'bout it?

Common guys, someone has to know something about it...

Perhaps you'll have to request imei-check.co.uk to send you the locking code
if you had CID unlocked through lokiwiz,it wud have been easy by restoring back the cid_locked.bin with lokiwiz which it creates at the time of Cid unlocking.

Yeah but the problem was, that I have a G4 Device, so it didn't work with lokiwiz, at the time.

Lokiwiz tool does not CID unlock a G4 device,however,you can SIM unlock a G4 device by lokiwiz 0.3 version,it provides you with a SIM unlock code.
Anyway,have you upgraded your phone to any wm6 custom Rom or still on official carrier's OS,which came pre-installed on it ? if you are still on the official Rom,then don't assume that the vendor will have any doubts about it being CID unlocked.But if you upgraded then you got a problem there.If you graded,as it's already CID unlocked,may be if you flash the official carrier's Rom which was pre installed,it might get away with it,well it's a give and take situation,but gonna have to take some risk now.
Cheers

Have a look the-equinox's thread about HardSPL stickied in the G4 thread and also at my tutorial on how to remove HardSPL stickied to the top of the G4 thread. I don't know if it is the same concept and procedure but if my thread will help you then it's worth a try.
Good luck.

[Error 300] INVALID UPDATE TOOL!!! Is there any fix

Mods, Developers, Seniors...
Anyone know how to get around with the Error 300 Invalid update Tool, problem?????
I think we can donate(maybe pay will be appropriate in this case ) to the developers who bring out a fix for it.
My Device gets only into the bootloader mode. When flashing the original ROM from DOPOD SEA WM6 WWE SHIP, it gets to the progress screen and @ 0% the RUU gives the Error 300.
Tried the SD Card flash method also, no luck!
I beleive the CID area is corrupt!!!
I had downloaded a tool to change the splash screen image, didn't used it, but by mistake the EnterBootLoader.exe (SPLJump) got executed and screwed the device
Been through the forum, but no help at all
Any takers?

it may be original rom,but does it have correct cid
1.you can get right rom by registration at manufacturers site
2.you can download one from wiki or forum,but in this case you will have to cid unlock your device,you have to download artemis uspl from artemis upgrading thread and than flash any rom you want,just be carefull to flash a rom that is for artemis,because flashing any other rom will brick your device
3.uspl the device and flash the rom you mentioned

I have the original ship ROM "P800w_SEA_ENG_WM6_Upgrade_20070713", even that fails with the same error message.
My device is already unlocked using the artemis uspl and I have used several ROMs earlier!!!!

anyone with this fix? I am getting the same error on my friends artemis. No help hitherto solved the problem. I wish if someone could really get on to it & get me the solution.

I sent my device to HTC service center and go it resolved. That is the only thing which worked for me after a couple of weeks searching in the forums and no solution. But the HTC SC buggers replaced my device entirely and gave me back an old **** device . So also keep this in mind. you won't be sure, if you get your original device back after the so called repair. HTC SC in India is super *****y, had a bitter experience!
Now I have moved to TD2, know that I was at loss, but am happy to have a shiny new TD2

Service Centre at Mumbai Sucks Big Tym....
HTC service centre at mumbai sucks big time....
