Hello Everyone,
I just received my Cingular 8125 off of ebay, but I can not use my tmobile sim card in it. I know I have to unlock it, but everyone thing I have read pertains to using windows xp. The problem is that I have vista and no activesync. My phone has ipl 2.25 and spl 2.25. What do I need to do to get vista to unlock my phone?
YUP ! WinXP is highly recommended as Vista is still not fully compatible and has problems,but read this thread,may be it helps you out :-

You need mobile devie center for Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
Also, I was able to CID unlock mine with Vista using the Wizard Service Tool, however, I HAD to use XP to SIM unlock it.

To unlock the phone from ATT i used special edition rom from this site. Now when i try to upgrade to PPC 2003 it tells me that it's wrong device.
My phone is PW10B1 but since rom upgrade it recognized as A. Please tell me what can i do to keep my phone unlocked and be able to run PPC2003 from ATT
Use a SD writer and write the old rom back to your CD card and boot from it.

UNLOCK MDA COMPACT II / HTC CHARMER / PM200
Just wanted to confirm that i've had sucess unlocking my mda compact II (htc charmer). Followed shoptillyadrop instuctions and they worked a treat. Thanks for help.
Only, one comment to your instuctions - line 2 you wrote wizard rather than charmer.
Thanks again.
Will the SIM Lock be restored after I have performed a hard reset?
Thanks
Nase
No,
the Phone will remain unlocked. If you want to re-lock your phone, the same tool will do the job.
Regards.
Thanks for your quick reply.
The procedure sounds very easy so I will give it a try this evening.
Thanks
Nase
You are talking about NETlock, not SIMlock for a specific number (Prepaid), right?
I want to buy a MDAc2 from T-Mobile but have to use it with o2.

Yes that is what I would like to do.
I guess that the Unlocker will remove any lock. Am I right?
Thanks

PM200 UNLOCK PROBLEMS
HAVE USED LOKIWIZ VERSION 1 ,WELL HAVE USED THEM ALL WITHOUT SUCCESS ITS DRIVING ME MAD PLEASE SOMEONE HELP
GET''AN ERROR OCCURRED MESSAGE
THANKS
I've done it without problem. You list out your procedure done to see if we can help.
Hello. I had problem with my Mda Compact II T-Mobile UK. After I input Pin ti told that: Data Crashed conntact Your Service. I went to imei-check.co.uk and payed 20 GBP and in 5 minutes my Mda Works as a new one. Its the best way to solve this problem and problem with simlock too. Best regards !!!
A lot of people have unlocked their Charmer with out any problem. And there are at least two (including myself) who has flashed the Charmer ROM as well. Good if you can list out your specification and procedure that you have used that messed up your Charmer.
Usually, when you have the error message "Data Crashed conntact Your Service Provider", it means that the IMEI area has been messed up. And, the only solution to this problem seem to be to go to the imei-check.co.uk
Hey guys.
I have just got a Tmobile MDA Compact 2.
I cannot unlock it though.
I have tried V0.1 and V0.2b.
When my simcard (O2) is in the phone, it just asks you to enter the unlock code, and won't let you access any menus.
So I remove the SIM, install the EnableRapi.cab and then insert the Sim card. And click lokiwiz.bat on the PC whilst Activesync is running, I select U (have tried C aswell on V0.2b) and it doesn't show any errors, the phone resets, but the lock is still present.
Does anyone have any ideas ???
Unlock not working on my Charmer
Hi Guys!
I have followed the instructions carefully und copied the file EnableRapi.cab to my charmer, executed it there, made sure that Charmer is connected via ActiveSync, opened the file lokiwiz.bat on my PC, and waited until Charmer rebooted!
After reboot I inserted my SIM Card and the Result was a window that asked me after typing in my PIN for a Network Code!
I have tried all the Versions on the Unlock page, none worked! I have deactivated my AntiVirus Programms and Firewalls!
My Charmer is (still) locked from T-Mobile Austria! All I receive on my PC in the same Folder is an Output File called "Unlocked" which I cannot open with a program on my PC!
Thank you very much in advance for your help as otherwise I have to unlock it via Internet and this would cost me 30 BP!
;-)

lokiwiz probably wont work on AKU2 roms because the OS is more protected. check your versions, Windows Build 14847.2.0.0 is AKU2.

can you keep me updated if there is a version that can unlock this type ?
thx !
Look what abzee wrote on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ght=could+not+update+itsutils.dll#post1039958
it took me 5 minutes to remove the lock using his instructions.
Thanks to abzee and of course to machinagod.
I used Lokiwiz03 yesterday with my Charmer. The Charmer is the german MDA Compact II with T-Mobile Netlock. It takes only some minutes. It was very easy to use-no problems.
Great Work and a very great thank you!
hi to everyone,
about a year ago, i patched thr spl...now is 2.13.0000. Yesterday i tried to install to my imate jamin (s200) the new qtek s200 italian rom. The process start successfully and cheked the version. When the phone reboot itself and shows the bootscreen, he program said that there was error 260 and cannot continue; on the phone screen reamin the boot section. When i try to rebbot, it works, but in this way i cannot update my phone. How i can solve this??
i use windows vista and windows mobile device center 1.0 version; also, i used on innotek virtual machine, windows xp with activesync 4.5I would like to inform you, if you can help, theat about a month ago i sent my phone to the assistence because the audio didn't work (is it possible that the assistence did something that block the update??
thanks and please help!!
on the bootscreen, compares RUU on the right-up side,ipl 2.13,spl 2.13 and (all writes are in the red section) and usb on the left-bottom side (on white background)! that's all, i think i've said everything...please HELP!!!
THE PROBLEM IS THAT PROPHET CANNOT CONNECT AT USB IN BOOTLOADER
i've tried, also, to use camera + softreset and when reboot the writes RUU disappear, but still not recognize on usb when in bootloader.
Someone can solve this problem? please....
your problem is vista!
use native windows xp and not VMWare or some Virtual Computer!
have the same strange errors if i flash with vista.
how you have flash your ipl to 2.13??
i used the pdamobiz...i think my ipl was 2.15.0000, and after downgrade, it becomes 2.13.0000. Sound strange? So, do you think the problem is vista and the VM? but i read in this forum that lots of people flash hos phone using xp on virtual machine....but you mean that in vista if you plug the phone (botloader) in to computer, windows doesn't recognize it?
i havent test "win xp vm" on a "vista host". my work laptop has vista and i cant update any rom/firmware. vmware use the host system and his driver to route the usb device. possible the usb-subsystem in vista is changed to much ;-)
test it ... if work ... ok ... we can debug it!
SOLVED
SOLVED! I flashed the prophet on "real" xp. Now my spl changed to 2.20.000 and ipl remain at 2.13.0000. I have another question: if i flashthe phone with one rom of wm6 (which is better?or which is the rom with less bugs?), can i reflash with a wm5 rom without problem?
thanks in advance and thanks for your advice!!

I believe we need more information to be able to help you, like the method you used to update the phone, did you SIM unlock, Application unlock and CID unlock? Can you phone still access bootloader. In many cases, reflashing the same a 2nd or 3rd time helps. I know that when going from WM2003 to WM6, it is bet to install WM5 after WM2003, then go from WM5 to WM6. Perhaps you are making too many of the wrong moves?
If youare currently on WM203, go to WM5 then after WM5, go to WM6. You may also simply have a bad SIM card. If so, your local O2 shop will replace it for you. - Good luck.

Just purchsed the Orange M3100 phone but I cant sync it on my pc. Ive downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center driver for Vista 64bit. It doesnt pick up my phone. Please help, ive googled etc.
Running WM 5.
In settings>connections>usb to pc, uncheck "advanced network functionality". That might work...
Cheers...
also make sure its pluged directly into your pc (one of the ports on the back) not though a usb hub, thats the prob i had syncing my 3100
thanks ultramag69. it seemed to work
now can i use FREE HTC HERMES UNLOCKER v3a by pof using vista?
the instructions talk about active sync and windows xp but no vista
sorry but ive only used this phone for few hours
you can use the sd card method as described in its readme.txt that comes with it
thats the problem I dont have a sdcard yet. Just thought the XP instructions may work using Vista and WMDC.
I believe you need to update to the latest version of WMDC through my reading but you may want to confirm that. If you do a search through the wiki using terms like "vista activesync hermes" you should get a hit as it has been extensively talked about. Also please make sure you check what radio rom you have as unlocking the hermes will downgrade the radio rom to 1.16.00.10. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT RADIO YOU HAVE SO YOU AN PUT IT BACK...
If you want to use the sd card method (I find it safer than from the pc) then you need an sd card 2 Gb or smaller as though the OS can read a higher card the bootloader (the software in the hermes used to flash) can't. Don't forget to Hard SPL your hermes after you unlock it, I didn't need to do this but you can check by putting a sim from another carrier into your hermes. However, Hard SPL is a MUST. You can get instructions from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Sd card method on page 116, post 1160. It has all the apps needed to flash both through pc and sd card.
Then you're good to go for flashing a new os.Look into each os on your own, read the post and make up your own mind, DON'T ASK WHICH IS THE BEST..... There is no "best" for everyone, you need to choose on your own. As for the Radio Rom, I would suggest ONLY using the sd card method as if you flash this it the thing that is MOST likely to brick your device if something goes wrong. DON'T INTERRUPT THE FLASH FOR ANYTHING!!!!!
As stated the unlocking will change your radio rom.
Read carefully each step of the guides and don't skip anything and you'll be fine...
Welcome and happy flashing,
Cheers...
hi ultramag69. flashed the phone today and it worked fine. the only problem i have now is when trying to update to wm6 i just get the 4 colours screen and lose sync. same when trying to hard spl 2.1. any ideas?
