I just got my 8125, and i upgraded to the aku 2.2 rom and then i couldnt run any new programs for some reason, so i downgraded, and ran the lokiwiz/unlock tool, and then upgraded to the aku 2.2 rom again. and now im waiting for it to finish setting up. is that the correct way to usually do these upgrades? thanks for the help!
CID unlock is what allows you to install unsigned apps, as well as downgrade your ROM and use other vendor's ROMs.
thanks!
CID Unlock
Can you please tell me where you found / downloaded the CID unlock software?
Thank you.

I recommend using lokiwiz 0.2b for CID unlocking. It's in the first post of this thread. However in order to use it, you must be using an AKU 1.x ROM. If you have already upgraded to AKU 2 then use the instructions here. However, if you have upgraded to an AKU 2.2 or greater ROM then there is currently no known way to CID unlock your phone. I hope this helps you a bit ^_^
I'm currently on Summiter's custom ROM 2.17.7.2 and assumed upgrading to this ROM confirmed that my device was CID unlocked.. I guess this is not the case, but will I be able to follow the instructions in the post above without issues because I am still below 2.2?
do you guys know what rom/aku/cid/whatever the cingular 8125 comes with? i'm going to buy one off ebay and am worried it'll be the latest craziest thing that loki wont be able to unlock. although i've read a lot of "it worked on my 8125" posts.
CIDunlock or Unlock or Both?
Hi People,
I've used the lokiwiz to unlock my phone. But the most important question is what is the difference between the options.
I first used the C to superCID my phone. Guess that worked.
After that also did a Unlock worked fine as well.
But what is the difference between Unlock and CID unlock?
is unlock for the SIMlock and cid unlock for other rom upgrades?
Is the CID unlock sufficient to CID unlock and Simunlock my Vario?
Menu looks like this:
--------------------
U. Unlock
L. Lock
C. CID Unlock (SuperCID)
Q. Quit
--------------------
Type the letter and press Enter: U
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have a new MDA from T-Mobile which I updated to the 2.26 official t-mobile upgrade. I would to back up the device to a mini-sd card from the bootloader; however, am not able to cid-unlock the device (aWizard fails during the write step), and the bootloader is giving me a security level violation error.
Is there a (safe) way to CID-Unlock the device? If not, how else can I do a full backup and guaranteed restore from a mini SD card? I apologize if this has been answered before... I tried to read through the forum however, could not find anything definitive.
Thanks
cid unlocking t-mobile mda
Hi,
I'm from the Netherlands and have exact the same problem.
Can't cid unlock my t-mobile mda.
So if there is an solution i'm interested.
This is the only solution yet: http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php

Lokiwiz Issues:
Winnie:
Thanks for your response. I tried Lokiwiz. With Lokiwiz 0.3a (LokiwizMsl.bat) and that provided the SIM unlock code. However, I could not figure out a way to CID unlock with the Lokiwiz 0.3a tool. Lokiwiz 0.2b fails to CID unlock the phone. Again, I apologize if I am missing the obvious, however, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks
You're not doing anything wrong. The latest lokiwiz does not include the CID unlock feature, and the last version that does will not unlock 2.25 and above. It may not work on earlier ones either, but I know I have 2.25 and it's not working.
Re: Lokiwiz Issues:
Opppsss....I guess the poster on the link I gave you meant to be SIM Unlock not CID Unlock. I appologize. I just re-read the link and realized that. I'm sorry.
I think the only solution is to CID unlock before you upgrade to ROM 2.26. I read from some other threads as well that this upgrade does not require you to redo the CID unlock. Could anyone confirm me on this?
Thanks

I can confirm that the CID unlock is (so far...) completely permanent once done... I think, however, that you have to unlock with a 1.xx rom, not ANY 2.xx rom. In other words, I do not think that it is just 2.25 and up or just 2.26 that you can't unlock I think it is any rom that starts with a 2. If someone could confirm, it would be appreciated... I do believe that there is some sort of temporary workaround to flash a new rom without CID unlock, but I am not sure how (I am unlocked), or even where I saw that... :roll:
Hi,
Thanks for your responses: Is there a way to downgrade to an official 1.08 ROM, and then CID unlock the device, and then bump back up to a 2.26 ROM?
Thanks
i was thinkin of doin that. when i bought my mda it came with the 1.8 rom, and i upgraded it to 2.26. now i be wantin to cid unlock it.
so i was thinkin of tryin to install the 1.8 rom and cid unlock it. but the question is will the 1.8 rom install properly after 2.26 is installed
Before you attempt to downgrade from a 2.x to 1.x Rom you need to be aware of a few things.
1. If you have a G4 flash chip YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE TO A 1.x ROM. (Search for G4, to determine this)
2. You will need to use the modified RUU package from a custom Rom which is hacked to always think your phone as Rom version 1.2 installed (again a little searching will explain better)
3. If you try this, your IPL & SPL (bootloaders) will get out of sync (one will remain 2.x). This is a dangerous situation for your phone and you just might brick it!
4. If you read up on how to "cook your own Rom" (yep search for it) you can create Roms without bootloaders which don't need your phone to be CID unlocked.

Ah ha, so there is a risk of say putting in Tmobile's oem 2.26 rom (or future oem roms) to re SIM and CID lock then.
I myself have an 8125 with ipl/1.08 : 1.08, gsm : 01.16.11, os : 1.8.11.1 and was thinking of upgrading to Tmo's 2.26.

ah well, that sounds like a massive pain in the ass... i dont have the patience for that anyways i already bought a card specifically to back up the rom in any case, and i dont doubt that the wizard community will come up with something. in the meantime, ive got no major hangups with 2.26, besides the occasional freeze

Hi,
I've a new HTC Tytn from Vodafone Portugal that came with WM5 and was thinking to upgrade to WM6 with the original ROM from HTC will this be possible or this phone is locked to the Vodafone rom (CID) ? Is it possible to read the current CID?
Thk's
You need to flash the HARD-SPL bootloader regardless of your CID status... It helps prevent bricks and also CID unlocks the phone. Please use the search....
Ok SH4YD33, thanks for your answer. But without flashing the Rom, is it possible to read the CID directly from the phone?
Thanks.
Hard spl is not a OS or RADIO Flash. It is the bootloader. It will not effect anything you have saved in your phone.
if that is what you're concerned with.. I'm unaware of a way to read the CID.. Maybe Olipro can chime in on that subject..

USE MTTY. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootLoader
TASK 32 will tell you if you're superCID or not and
INFO 2 will tell you the which CID you're locked to (if any).

what do you mean by unlock?
do you want to CID unlock it? This will let you the custom roms. To do so, use either USPL or HardSPL your phone. Make sure you use the ones provided in the Herald Forum.
Do you want to sim unlock it? This will let you use sim cards of other service providers in your phone. To do this, call T-Mobile and ask them for more information
if u mean Unlock to use with another carriers (SIM Unlock)... sorry, this is not possible.. The only way is imei-check.co.uk
otherwise, if u mean Unlock to use with 3rd party applications, give your device a new fresh look and cool applications, just take a peek on Herald ROM Development and Herald Mobile 6

normal rom update or downgrade will do nothing with simlock....
r u kidding?
any news from olipro
How could we know if olipro is still working on unlocking blackstone devices ?
ah in reply to that question. we made it with Olipro... see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521206
To sim unlock your device or to security unlock (not the same thing) you will need to use Olipro's unlock tool which can be found here.
HSPL or USPL do not unlock your device. HSPL & USPL allows you to bypass the HTC certificate check and flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone.
HSPL is permanent while USPL is a temporary solution.
