Hello to all.
First:
I will NOT be held responsible for any problems caused by this tool.
I'm releasing the 0.1 version of the Wizard Unlocker. It's similar to the imei-check.co.uk unlocker (it patches the same bit), however it doesn't cost you £20 per bit :wink: .
Version 0.2: New CID unlocking abitity
Credits for the 0.2 version go to SPV-Developers, namely: itsme, Arc and Arisme...
Version 0.2a: CID unlocking abitity FIXED
Credits for the 0.2a version go to Chan, who took care of the errors I managed to punch in the script when I packed it the first time... Thanks!
Now version 0.2b: Sim Lock abitity FIXED
Credits for the 0.2b version go to kpcomp, who found the missing GOTO End instruction after a SIM Lock... Thanks!
I can't stress enough that this work is heavily base upon the itsme tools, so my thanks to him. Also, spv-developers and xda-developers boards were an invaluable resource.
I would also like to thank all the people that supplied their phone info in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33479
Ok, now the instructions...
1 - Unzip lokiwiz.zip to somewhere in your computer
2 - Copy EnableRapi.cab to your Wizard
3 - Execute the EnableRapi.cab in your phone. Wait for it to finish
4 - Guarantee that your phone is connected via activesync with the computer
5 - Execute lokiwiz.bat (on your computer! My inbox is filled with this kind of error) and follow the instructions on your screen...
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q - Will it hard-reset my device?
A - No. It will do a soft reset at the end of the process for applying the changes
Q - I locked my device and now it shows only the SIM Lock window
A - Get your phone showing the SIMLock window. Connect it via activesync. Use the tool to unlock your phone.
Q - Why does a r2sd backup doesn't mantain the unlocking info?
A - r2sd makes a backup of the rom. The unlocking info is stored in the Disk-on-chip, a different memory space altogether.
Q - How about the CID unlock tool? (for using any type of roms)
A - Integrated on Version 0.2.
Q - I'm having problems with Unlocker not connecting to the phone
A - Disable all kinds of Antivirus, Firewalls and similar applications before running Lokiwiz.

Anybody want to try before me? ;-)
Can i ask where the file is to download?
Scott
U have to login... Then u see the file... its in an attachment
The file with everything that's needed is attached to the post
Fan-tas-tic! BTW, what are the "utils" for?
WORKS on a T-MOBILE UK version!!!
THANKS!!!!
Utils are part of the itsutils... they are used by the unlocking tool.
You can find more info about the its tools in the xda wiki...

great job!!

will this work an an MDA PRO
Hi,
thanks you are a real machinegod !!!
but the problem and the main question is now........will this work on my MDA PRO of T-Mobile (Qtek 9000) with an T-Mobile Simlock.......!!!!
Please let me know if i can try? Because if it dont work i maybe crash/hamr my device.....Please help us......their are a lot of people who needs an sim unlocker for the MDA PRO and de Orange M5000 asap!
If i can help you with information etc. please let me know.......and if this will work also please let us know
Ok thanks!
Great tool
Before I try, will this also work if your phone is connected via bluetooth- activesync?(i ask because, activesync with the usb cable does not work for me, and crashes my pc) I will wait for a response before trying, just to be on the safe side
Thnx again!
Hi,
MDA Pro will not work with this unlocker. It has a different architecture. While Wizard is very similar to a Typhoon Smartphone, Universal is something different.
I would not recomend to try it in a Universal, although it should do anything bad...

It should... but do you really want to put your radio CID on the line? (Yes, I don't trust bluetooth a bit...)
Bye now,

can we get a definitive list of what devices this works on? A chum was going to use this on his K-Jam...
thanks,

Will unlocking hard reset my device?
No it won't...
I'm still waiting for a few "success" posts before I try it on my vario, but wondered, does this do everything that imei-check does, i.e does it SIM unlock your phone as well as unlock the bootloader?
Thanks
I can confirm that it works! tried it a few minutes ago!!! 8) Now i can use my t-mobile sim in my m3000!
Thank you!! you're great!
hmmm
but if i try this at my MDA PRO.....is this possible?
i mean if it not works is it possible that it harms my device......
I unlocked my XDA mini s ( O²) now my T-Mobile card works fine.
Thank you!

Hmmmm.
What do you mean with:
Update UPSL v0.1 by Pof
Michael
Pof is a user
UPSL is an unlocker utility so you can flash alternative ROM's
check the link - very informative.
reflashing your phone usually takes a weeks worth of reading if you care for your device.
And read it :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312052
maybe it help you..!
Is there an easier way to explain this - Sorry i'm quite good working with my PC, but this was a bit greek:
All you need to do is:
1. Remove your SD card
2. Do a hard reset or clean storage (some programs like battery status block full access to your device)
3. Connect your mobile to PC and make sure that activsync connection is established
4. Start to flash your device with USPL, when DOS part end and your mobile switch to bootloader mode vista will find new device and start instaling new drivers.
5. Wait till vista finish installing new drivers and unplug your device, do a soft reset
6. Next step is to change vista drivers to xp, to do this you need to fallow this instruction:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemi d=27
7. After switching the drivers plug your artemis again and install USPL, there should be no more problems with connection lost (errors 260, 270)
8. When USPL instalation will finish you can flash any rom you want to your arte
Succesfully tested on my T-Mobile MDA UK now I've got WM6 WWE.
Thanks pof for your great release
That explination is about as clear as it gets in 'phone talk'.
Perhaps elaborate a bit on what is exactly, or what step is, throwing you off.

Hi again.
Would i solve the problem if i just installed it from an Windows XP machine at work?
One final thing - Do you know if the GPS will still be working afterwards.
Have a good night from Oslo - Norway

Very interested though (son's got my Typhoon 0 he may not care about it's OS but need something to FLASH!!!). Thanks.

Hi, karhoe, can you modify the download link to the final version.
Link in first post updated
connection error
I get a connection error during flashing step 5. I have checked all connections and used different cables. Any suggestions?
Peter
Did you turn on back your USB ?
What does error on Disk On Chip mean? What are we to do if we encounter such an error? error code =27
No idea, try to reboot you phone and repeat the process
I actually got the answer myself.. Said error occurs if you fail to press 0 on the boot loader portion of the ROM update process. Got WM6 now.. phone performance is a little slow than WM2003 but it is not that significant to return back to 2003se yet...
Thanks
Thanks for the thread your the man!!!

I have even tried sim unlocker - or it it that simple that this phone just cannot be unlocked?

I have another SPV C500 that i unlocked/ supercid/ upgraded with no problems also an XPhone II
so here we proudly present the HardSPL flash package
well, what this is good for - this enables flashing of custom roms (I try to explain only because I know many Shift owners here don't own other HTC devices).
SSPL and RUU patches have been made mostly by me, HSPL and package compilation have been made mostly by Olipro, so both are branded OliNex.
Please read and follow all instructions very carefully.
this has been tested (thanks thaihugo, et al.), but if you have problems then do let us know in this thread.
also, TO EVERYONE WHO BETA TESTED in the past: please do download this final version. it will flash an updated HardSPL to your device.
prerequisite: "liberated" Shift (i.e. has the usbtool on Snapvue side!).
[size=+1]STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:[/size]
1. Download the package from attachment in this post and extract the files from the zip somewhere on Vista.
2. Install the EnableRapi.cab file from the zip on Snapvue side. (of course do unzip in Vista first.)
3. Make sure Shift is on AC adapter and that the WMDC in Vista sees the Snapvue side!!! (use usbtool to turn USB on in Snapvue if necessary.)
4. Run the ShiftHardSPLFinal.exe on Vista. if you do not have UAC disabled, then please run it as Administrator!!!
5. It should pop up two cmd windows for a second. then it will pop up a box saying "Processing". at this point please check if Snapvue side went into black screen. if yes, then everything is OK so far, so press OK in the "Processing" messagebox.
6. After some more wait (and two more cmd windows - please allow them to run if Vista asks!), the Romupdateutility will launch automatically. Please press Next and so on, until it flashes the update.
7. The RUU should say success, and should hard reset the device. at this point your Shift has been HardSPL'ed - Congratulations!!!
TroubleShooting:
- if Vista errors out on pput.exe after step 4, make sure you launched the ShiftHardSPLFinal.exe as Administrator: right click on EXE and select "run as Administrator" option.
- if at step 5, you don't have black screen, the device might be asking you to allow to run a program on the Snapvue side. click Yes if prompted!
- if after step 5 the next cmd gets stuck at some USB disabling message, let us know. (it shouldn't get stuck but just in case.)
- if you wish to check it is really HardSPL'd now, use mtty and use info 2 command in it. it should return HTCS00000000something which means it is (fake) supercid and is HardSPL.
NOTE: never use the RUU from this SSPL package for anything else! this is special and is strictly for the HardSPL process.
to just flash ROMs after you installed HardSPL, you can use the original RUU or CustomRUU from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2098895#post2098895
also, first Custom ROM with GPS and with some tweaks/customizations (will also be liberated out of the box!) is to follow sometime this week. along with a radio Security/CID unlocker (patched radio image). then voice and maybe WVGA screen is to follow not much later.
you of course must have this HardSPL installed, or the ROMs will not flash!
enjoy
Let me be the first to say on behalf of us here:
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL HAIL CMONEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks you and all others in Shift Project
Wouhou !
Thanks !!! great news
I have a Traditional Chinese Version of shift. I followed the instruction to install EnableRapi.cab in WM6 side, then run shiftHardSPLFinal.exe, screen blanked.
On the Vista a CMD pop up said: "USB\ROOT_HUB\4&188A10ED&0 isabled."
then won't continue.
Any help, please?
Nice !! Can't wait to use the built-in GPS on the SnapVue side..
Finally I can run PocketReperion so I can find my shift back if it's stolen.
....voice...to follow later....serious... Cmonex, if you had to put a percentage of chance that we will get Voice working, what would the percentage be ?? 50%-50% ?
Thanks Guys, appreciated!
after done this thing, is it possible to make voice call from Shift? sorry about that question, as I dont have much knowleague about rom and flash
noup. this will allow you to place the hacked rom (the hacked rom is still to be released) that would enable these features... and this without having the phone detect the "hack".
this is a way of telling it..

oh, chinese shift... is the OS in all chinese? and the WM side?
anyway, that should not be a problem... if it still won't go on, press Ctrl+C to cancel this cmd, another will pop up, cancel that too, then the RUU will pop up. at this point, put vista to hibernate (don't try to shut down for now, it will make it harder to get it working that way). wait a few secs after it hibernated, wake up vista, then go on with the RUU.
btw if this is first time being in bootloader, it might first want to install drivers at this point. let it install them, then feel free to continue in the RUU.
another way to deal with the issue: shut down vista and remove battery. reinstall battery, boot both vista and snapvue, then start the process from step 1 again. battery removal and fresh boot of vista afterwards can help a lot with usb.

hey
IIRC you have the beta hardSPL flashed, yes? I recommend updating it with this final one (only difference is this has overwrite protection while the beta did not - because of that, you can also update the beta one by using CustomRUU and the RUU_Signed.NBH from the final package after it extracts.)
as for voice, chances are a bit better I think.
congratulations Guys Congratulations Its The Only I Had To Say...
I Need Help....

yes it performs a hard reset.
don't despair, soon you can flash liberated rom and then you can forget about how to do manual liberation
Hello and thanks for SSPL & HardSPL!!
I'm wondering how to build these custom ROMs..?
Are you dumping the ROM from TytnII/Kaiser and edit until the ROM is small enough? Is any Software out there to edit the Filesystem from dumped ROMs?
Many weeks ago i've heard about a ROM that supports GPS - why didn't you release it with the bundle? Any Bugs?

no, not using a kaiser ROM. but you can dump the ROM from Shift in the same way as Kaiser, I think pof also posted about this before. also we have some HTC rom updates, will try to upload them to crapidshare or something soon.
the current rom base with the GPS has an issue so we are porting the GPS to a newer rom base then release that.
as for rom editor tools, a kaiser kitchen with the rom base changed to a shift rom, will work. i.e. the rom tools from kaiser kitchen are compatible.
Shift display has gone blank
Hi help is needed here, I followed installation instruction and obtained USB\ROOT_HUB\4&188A10ED&0 disabled. I've now got shift working, will try again. Thanks.
Wow, good work!
Are there already any custom Shift ROMs out there..?

try after removing battery, and with freshly booted vista and snapvue.
make sure the WMDC is running with USB enabled in it. that seems to help.
if nothing else helps, then when you get to that disabled message, and it doesn't move after maybe 2 minutes, Ctrl+C, etc., then hibernate vista etc. (as described above).
EDIT: ah I see you added: problem solved. what was the exact way to solve it?
Hi, to everybody:
I have got a HTC P3300 device (Artemis) purchased in Spain in 2006, unlocked, so I've got no problems on that.
It's was updated by me to WM6 Professional (OS CE 5.2.1620, Build 18125.0.4.2) using official ROM for free devices.
ROM Ver.
ROM Ver: 3.13.412.1 ESN
Date: 8/28/2007
Radio ver: 02.94.90
Protocol ver: 4.1.13.44
ExtROM ver: 3.13.412.102
Now I would like to upgrade it to a cooked ROM like Shady's new ones with WM6.5 or another one with TouchFlo but I can't, altough I've tried almost everything. I'm not a newbie and I work like developer so I understand the most I read but now I'm completely lost; let me explain to you.
My laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) installed and I know that this OS(and Vista) have problems so I also tried on XP Professional SP2 without success.
I tried to upgrade the device using the exe directly and trough USPL (from this site and others) but nothing works. I always get the same 2 errors; normally when I use USPL I have error 260 (connection) because the device doesn't go to bootloader screen and if I restart the device into bootloader manually, if the update process starts (not always), it reaches less than 5 or 10% returning a 270 error with message "File corrupt".
I read a lots of in this forum and similar ones checking steps one by one, even trying to update/install USB drivers for Vista but nothing works. When I use USPL, screen goes to black and "unkonwn device" plugged in to USB port is detected on the system so I think the problem is the program can't put the device in correct state, but if I activate bootloader by my self "Sync Device" appears in devices manager but I cannot go futher as I said before.
Do I must make a downgraded to original WM5 and start from it (maybe a problem with loader version)or there's anything that I forgot?. If someone knows a link or think that I missed some step, please help me.
Any kind of help would be appreciated so much. Thank you in advanced
Solved!
OK, here I am!.
Finnally I solved the problem. The issue was that I had have to "do a hard reset before" try to update the ROM. I read somewhere that an application locked the device avoiding the ROM upgrade. I just went to settings > system > emtpty memory and since then I was able to upgrade like the posts said .
Best regards

Can you post a link for the WM 6.5 version, i found two files, but couldn't install
in the rom section u can find a few wm 6.5 versions.
unlock your phone with USPL and then follow the installation instructions of the roms posted
shady313 and babbelut roms are the most current ones based on 6.5
neither of them have touchflo support though but babbelut rom has spb shell, a different kind of touch cube system
