i just have bought wizard, a used one, and it has already been SIM unlocked, it's a T-mobile MDA and i dont have a T-mobile SIM inside.
the thing is, i would like to upgrade to WM6, ive looked at all sticky threads, and i know the drill, but ive noticed that my IPL/SPL is 3.08.
in this READ FIRST thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
says in step 17 that is the best to use this ROM 3.08. Maybe is my device already also CID unlocked,but how can i be sure? is there some app that can tell me is my Vario CID unlocked, so i dont need to go step by step to unlocked it?
please help
P.S. Sorry for my grammar, im from Croatia
If you want to know if it is cid unlocked try flashing a rom to it. If it is the rom will work if it isnt cid unlocked the RUU program will inform you that the rom was not designed for your device.
I am guessing that you have a G3 wizard if so download this
http://rapidshare.com/files/53377946/Wizard__CID___Sim_Unlocker.rar
that contains the love rom lokiwiz (all versions) and an o2 official rom WM5 extract it and try running lokiwiz that will tell you if your device is unlocked or try flashing the o2 rom if it works its cid unlocked, if it reports back it is not designed for your device its locked.
NOTE WELL. DONT TRY FLASHING THIS ON A G4!!!!!
tnx, my IPL/SPL is 3.08, so it is not G4, it's a G3
EDIT:
so, i just download any ROM, like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367534 and connect my phone to active sync, start .exe and wait??
EDIT2: hmmm,ive downloaded this rom, but no exe file
EDIT3: think i got is, xp_rom_update utility
ok, i was little worried about "
NOTE WELL. DONT TRY FLASHING THIS ON A G4!!!!!"
i mean, i have IPL/SPL 3.08, this is G3 right?
and does it work for you?
look post over your's
Nono01
Before flashing any rom,download the 'WST Tool' and run the 'CID Action' button to verify the CID lock/unlock status of your phone.With ipl/spl 3.08,it becomes quite difficult to downgrade and CID unlock the phone,therefore,I'll advise you to get it confirmed if your phone is already unlocked or not,ok
Cheers!
i won't try if somebody,please give ma an answer...is my vario G3 or G4...ipl/spl are 3.08
EDIT:
@ zabardast_1
where can i find this tool, and hou can i run it?

It says for my Phone G3. SPL/IPL 3.08 at all but i'm not sure about that.
Download WST 4.2 from the following link and follow the instruction in this thread :-

WST tells me that my Phone ist locked. What is the best method for IPL/SPL 3.08 to cid unlock?
ok, i have pushed device info and it says
"Warning!
A device was detected but one (or both) of RAPI

Use first button for that purpose and try again"
i have clicked Enb. RAPI and its same again, even after restart

Although,it sometimes becomes quite difficult to downgrade from ipl/spl 3.08,but its possible.You can also download the official carrier's rom and flash to downgrade to first ipl/spl 2.xx and then onward flash the Button's Rom 1.05 to downgrade to ipl/spl 1.xx and apply lokiwiz02b to unlock.its better to decrease downgrade step wise, 3.08-----> 2.xx-----> 1.xx.

you need to unlock CID FIRST....to be able to install any rom.

To unlocked CID and then i try using any order Rom to flash my qtek 9100
No pal,
You use LokiWiz (on this forum) to unlock CID and THEN you can flash Roms of another brand (like Qtek, or T-Mobile).
Good luck,
Molski.
p.s. I am not sure if 2.17 Roms can be CID unlocked already (for free, there is a paid solution).

hi dmoney, I'm having the same problem that you are. Lokiwiz just doesn't seem to CID unlock new 9100's, I get the same error [300] message that you do. Hopefully somebody will crack it soon, otherwise we're stuck with the roms that we have.
There is a newer version of lokiwiz then 0.2b...you need to get the latest version.
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

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.

Recently got a Cingular 8525 unlocked in US.
When I was searching for the Optus network(my network provider) via the Network setting on the phone, It only showed Telstra on the list.
I am thinking of flashing the firmware.
Just wonderring if there this is one good way of solving this question. Or are there alternatives to this?
Can I actually flash a Dopod 838 Pro firmware on it?
BTW the australian version of the phone is Jasjam. if this info helps.
I don't know why Optus wasn't showing, but I can tell you that you can indeed flash a Dopod ROM on your device. Please read the Upgrading forum and the wiki for more info.
Cingular 8525 can support ordinary GSM networks right?
Once think i know is that Telstra has the HSP...thingie.. the high speed 3G network.
Would it be possible that Cingular only recognize signals from the HSP..thingie high speed network from Telstra?
Only if it's set to do so. I've never used a Cingular ROM on my Hermes, but on other devices, I know they like to restrict things. Switching to a different ROM may be helpful in that respect, in case they have restricted that.
If you decide to flash, I would recommend the following steps:
1. Flash Hard-SPL to lessen the chance of bricking your device in the future
2. Flash the 1.38.00.10 Radio ROM (latest and greatest)
3. Flash an OS-only ROM of your choice - I would recommend a WM6 ROM because the most work is being done on those at the moment, and WM6 appears to be faster than WM5.
The wiki has links to all the available Radio and OS ROMs. All the WM6 ROMs are cooked, so look in that section. The reason I am recommending a mix-and-match approach is that it allows for the most choice as well as safety. Normal ROMs from providers flash everything - bootloader, radio, OS, and ExtROM. If the flashing fails at an inopportune moment, your device could be permanently bricked. However, when flashing different parts at different times, you lessen the chance of bricking. For example, when I was flashing the WM6 ROM, the flash process suddenly froze at 22%. But it was an OS-only upgrade, so my bootloader and radio ROM remained intact, and since I flashed the Hard-SPL bootloader earlier, I was able to simply restart the flashing process, and it completed successfully.
I hope this helps. BTW, I think you're referring to HSDPA, a high-speed download upgrade to UMTS.
i've made the CID to SUperCID using CIDhack v3.0 from pof. (Software results said it was successfully changed CID to SuperCID)
Can I lock this SuperCID status forever?
Where can i find the OS-only ROMs? I can only see available full ROMs in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Is there a instruction on how to use mtty or putty? I find myself hard to follow how to enter those commands and verify certain values in bootloader. e.g. CID infomation
As for flashing the dopod rom on the cingular, you can do that. I have an Imate JasJam i bought overseas and i'm using it in the US with cingular. I've flashed 2 different cingular roms on it with no problems (other than the video call being disabled but thats not functioning in america.) My JasJam is SuperCID.
Hope this helps, as to not seeing the network you need, don't know whats causing that. Have you put the Band Selection to auto under phone settings?

As I stated earlier, the OS-only ROMs are WM6, so look under the Cooked ROMs section. Once you've made your device SuperCID it will stay SuperCID unless something goes horribly wrong and your CID gets corrupted (which wouldn't be a problem if you have Hard-SPL)

First of all. I'd like to thank all the guys replied to my message. I am very happy to announce that my Cingular 8525 is now working in Australia with Optus GSM network.
Here is the steps I had:
1) using pof's "Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker New version v3" tool to change the CID to SuperCID
2) Because my original SPL version on the phone is 1.06. So I downloaded Cingular 1.04 firmware and upgraded via USB in bootloader mode. (I wasnt sure if i needed this step even thou I had made CID to SuperCID, but I was thinking of using Cingular 1.04 before I change it to other OS)
3) downloaded JasJam 1.04 firmware and upgraded via USB again
4) Now there is some extra options in Network Tab, most importantly there is a Band tab for user to select between GSM and WCDMA network. I then selected Optus of course...
5) Mission accomplished!
Again, Thanks guys!! thank you so much for helping me out.
Now there are several things that I am still unsure about:
1) Did I Hard-SPL the CID already using pof's "Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker New version v3"?
2) How can I type in commands in bootloader mode to check status? via mtty or ssh? if so, which address and port number i should connect to? what User name and PW to use.
3) The Jasjam firmware I used was "I-mate English CDL__001 1.20.305.3 07/21/06 1.20.305.104 1.07.03.10 32.41.7010.02H 14955.2.3.0 2.3 1.04 107 ". According to the specs "32.41.7010.02H " I shold have HSDPA because the number ends with a "H". But I can only select between Auto, GSM and WCDMA. So where has the HSDPA gone to?

1) No. Hard-SPL is a modified bootloader flashed onto your device. It shows SPL version 1.10 Oli or the new version 2 Hard-SPL shows 1.11 Oli (I assume).
2) You must use mtty or a similar serial communications program. SSH is a completely different protocol, and has absolutely nothing to do with this. You do not need a username or password to access the Hermes through mtty.
3) HSDPA is an upgrade to UMTS. UMTS is based on WCDMA, so that is what you should choose.

when you mention serial communication, I can actually use USB connection right?
I found this info in one of the latest WM6 rom info on this forum, details as below:

WM6 for Hermes LVSW Edition (2007-03-20)
(WM6 Pro Style)
IPL: 1.01
SPL: 1.09
GSM: 1.34.00.10 (very stable with my RomUpdate!!!)
OS: 3.23.0.0
Splash: Black HTC Splash (thanks, Incorrect!)
------- Ends here ------------------
Noted the SPL there is 1.09...
Does it mean if I flash this OS to my phone.. it will change my SPL from 1.04 (current) to 1.09?

Yes, the newest LVSW ROM comes with a bootloader (1.09) and a radio ROM (1.34). People are requesting an OS-only update from him because we like to have our own BL and radio ROMs. I have a feeling he'll upload one soon, if he hasn't already.
If I want to flash my 8525 with the following image:
Dopod English http://dict.leo.org/en.gif DOPOD001 1.30.707.4 08/22/06 ?? 1.20.31.10 32.52.7020.00H 14955.2.3.0 2.3 1.06 107
so..two questions (maybe stupid noobie questions):
1) will my SPL be affected after I've run Hard-SPL before flashing?
2) Do I need to run Hard-SPL everytime before I flash my phone?
I don't think you're getting what I'm saying. The SPL, as referred to in this context, is the bootloader. It is arguably the most important part of the firmware because it is the first thing that starts up and then loads the radio and OS components. Hard-SPL is a hacked bootloader made by xda-dev member Olipro, which forgoes certain security checks and allows us to flash ROMs we would not ordinarily be able to flash. Does that make sense so far?
Next, you're asking about an official ROM upgrade from Dopod. All official ROM upgrades (except for one, a German radio-only upgrade) include a bootloader, radio, OS, and ExtROM. So if you flash an official ROM, your current bootloader - be it Hard-SPL or anything else - will be overwritten.
That's why I think it's safer to flash individual updates instead of full ones, so that only the things you want to be overwritten will be overwritten and everything else will be as it was before.
If you flash that Dopod ROM, you will have SPL-1.06, radio 1.20, and their OS and ExtROM customizations. If you already have Hard-SPL installed, it will be overwritten by SPL-1.06.
Please reread this whole thread carefully before posting a response.

first about your question about which are better you can see this
http://my-symbian.com/s60v3/review_n95_artemis.php
and for flashing your mobile.. you have to do the following:
1. unlock your mobile by USPL [don't flash any rom without this step]
2.pick a rom you think it's the best for you
and finally while sycronizing run the update utility which are in the folder of the rom you picked.
and that's all

you can only flash original htc rom if you don't unlock the device
cid unlocking is not sim unlocking and has nothing to do with sim or provider,it just removes some locks regarding the operating system
generally there are hard spl (uspl) and jump spl (or soft)
hard spl - cid unlocks the device permanently
jump spl - enables you to flash only one rom (for further usage you have to do the process again...but it doesn't matter right now)
only hard spl (uspl) is developed for artemis and is working like charm
i flashed few artemises many times and all works great
i found this rom http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showpost.php?p=3863781&postcount=70, can i flash with this rom without cid unlocking , my device Ipl 3.13.0001, spl 3.13.0000, gsm 02.94.90, os .13.0.0.0 , this rom 3.13.405....thnx...and this is a windows mobile 6.1 or ????
it's wm6
i'm affraid that you'll have to unlock it because unlocking is NOT required only for flashing original rom provided by htc specially for your device... in your case htc can provide you only FRE rom
so to flash WWE rom you'll have to unlock it
don't be afraid of doing that...thousands did it before you without any damage to the phone
unlocking is far better than bricking ( state where your device is unusable because of flashing other rom than the original ---bricking is in most cases reversible ,but don't play with it)
still i have to say "use at your own risk"
which flash(englissh) you prefer for my device htc p3300 wich is new version....

guide
did you follow these instructions:
<im restricted to post links since im a new user>
there is a guide on the wizard upgrading etc. section of the wizard forums
i just newly upgraded my o2 xda mini s from version 5 to version 6.1 successfuly after reading the guide.
make sure your phone is sim/cid unlocked before flashing to a higher version ipl/spl rom. (it would be much easier that way switching roms, etc.)
what i know is that you can't flash a wm6 rom in a phone with current ipl of 1.xx
you need to have a wm5 rom of ipl/spl of 2.xx before flashing to a wm6 rom (correct me if i'm wrong)
the link i posted to the guide was good, though i advice you to read it carefully so you dont mess up with your phone. if you arent sure of the instructions its much safer to dont take risk
