Hello,
Here's some concrete work from the IMEI update project.
Please use the attached file and report your findings here.
Instructions:
1. Extract the ZIP
2. Run the file iWizard
3. Make sure ActiveSync is running and your phone is connected via USB
4. Make sure Windows Mobile has finished booting
5. Click "Next" in iWizard, let it work (shouldn't take more than 10 seconds)
Let us know:
1. If iWizard worked:
a. The model of your phone
b. The IMEI # and checksum codes if you like (you can PM for your security)
2. If iWizard failed:
a. How it failed
b. Any error messages, or screenshots of failure
c. The model of your phone
The goals of this alpha release are as follows:
1. To determine which HTC phone models work with our method
2. To determine the algorithm of the IMEI checksum codes so we can update
Thanks for your interest!
Don't get too excited - this alpha release does NOT change your IMEI yet. That is coming soon, as soon as we know which phone models the above method works on and is reliable with!
Note: The iWizard works great on my i-mate k-jam.
I tried this a minute ago.
My qtek 9100 is connected to my pc, can synchronise with active synch but I received the error message I attached.
I have spv m500, its synchronized with my pc, but I recive the same error as canstb said...
sorry for my first quick reply.
I was thinking that my qtek9100 was cid unlocked apparently it was not. I used the tool lokiwiz v2b to unlock it and ran your program again.
and here is the result.
Thanks, please keep the results coming in! We'll figure what the checksum alg. is and then fix your phones :lol:
Guys, I think you should PM Sinan rather then publically posting your IMEIs.
As we all know, cloning and changing IMEIs may be illegal in your jurisdiction; additionally, publically posting your IMEI is liable to end up with it being cloned by thieves not from this board etc. Not wise, so be careful, and please stay legal.
V
thanks for your warning.
sinan, I am deleting my attachment to my previous message. if you need the info again, just ask for it.
can anyone tell how to download lokiwiz, and how can i find out if my Magician iz CID locked or not?
and is there any tool for unlocking SPV m500 (magician)?
thnx
Yes, can you please PM it? Also, did the tool accurately detect your real IMEI?
Everyone, please PM your IMEI and checksums for security...or if you're not comfortable with that, please just say if the tool correctly detected your IMEI on your phone model, and report the phone model.
aWizard/Lokiwiz can be used to CID unlock phones, available here on this forum as well...pretty easy to find and use them, they're free tools as well.
You may need to downgrade your ROM first...
i used lokiwiz to unlock my device, now some other message appears, here is the pic... and the program doesent stop, it tries to find imei, but it seems like it will never stop...
Is this on Vista? Please see if it works on a regular XP box...if not, thanks for letting us know, be sure to try with the next alpha.
no its not vista, its just a theme for xp.
so you think there might be a solution for my device to?
Was the unlock successful with the CID unlock tool?
I think you may need to downgrade your ROM and CID unlock your tool first.
According to what I've read in another discussions, this tool would work only on devices that store IMEI on DOC chips
These are - nearly all smartphones produced by HTC, and communicators like HTC Wizard and Prophet. The tool would never work on HTC Himalaya, BlueAngel, Universal, etc.
You can easily determine would the tool work on your device or not. Just take the ROM update tool, extract it with WinRAR. If it has the file "radio_.nbf" - the tool would not work at all.
The tool should not be called "HTC IMEI Restore Wizard" as it does not support all HTC devices. It should be renamed to something like "HTC IMEI-on-DOC Editor tool".

it is easy to determ which models work, just buy all the HTC devices and try yourself and you will know. I am doing same thing, since i don't want risc affect any of the users phones.

Rascal you sound like a baby. We should try to help each other, not put each other down. And remember business is business! You couldnt have thought that you would be the only person that could provide a imei repare tool forever!!
Maybe now you will drop the price of your dongle or even better, make the program work without the dongle!!
Hopefully the release of mimar's tool will drive you to produce better things.
AFAIK the Wizard has a radio rom file, doesn't it? I've used the tool on my Wizard just fine.
Raskal, tale the suggestions of our good friends here - update your obsolete sales mechanism, get rid of the pkey dongle, that will probably be the only way for you to remain competitive.
Great work MimarSinan
thanks for share and not change a my device imei ..
my device : HTC Magician
device name: MDA Compact
Your device is CID unlocked, right?

The spv M500 is a Windows Mobile 2003SE device. As far as I am aware this tool is for Windows Mobile 5 devices.
I have a problem during unlocking my Touch 3g. After running SPL_V3 (it is released by oilnex), and installing the cab file on my mobile, it is indicated on pc that this program is only for non-commercial purpose and abort.
It is myfirst time to unlock this mobile, for personal purpose for sure. And I tried to unlock it on different computer, but meet same problem again. Can anyone give a hand to help me out.
Touch 3g unlock
Did you tried http://jade.sim-unlocker.com/ ??
It may work... just 15€
Hi all
Just a quick question. When you upgrade your Rom, and you go through the HardSPL procedure, does this change your devices MAC address/hardware code?
Reason I'm asking is that my GPS software uses that MAC address, which you have to register on their website and they then issue you with a activation code. Problem is, after upgrading I can get the software to work on the phone, but it does not want to accept the same activation code as before.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
i'm not sure abt this but most probably No i guess it doesnt! Maybe someone with knowledge will clear this up.

have you ever formatted your PC more than once. whether if its yes or no...i can tell you i have formatted my pc several times. but the PC always carry the same MAC ID, why??? because its not related to your hard disk. my point is...the MAC ID is a unique ID for every motherboard (in simpler terms) and does not change...
so coming to your device...your device mainboard maintains a specific MAC ID and it does not change even if you have flashed your device so many times...
bottom line is...your device mainboard is a separate partition from your NAND flash....
and unless you mess arnd with the mainboard...it does not change...so flash away....
Hello Guys,
I recently bought an unlocked Dell VP from ebay, I'm located in Mexico, I'm using with TELCEL company... it works good with any company SIM.
I tried to use some applications found in google, XPA, but i have not found a way to install them... obviously i have read so many tutorials in here and all,
things i have done,
installed WP7 SDK
installed latest Zune
installed ChevronWP7 cert (pc and phone)
registry was checked for mod in Proxy Ports to 06c95 or something like that..
the files in ../system32/etc are "read and write" mode
ChevronWP7 stop to work when those files are in read only mode... another problem i had, lol
i have also tried with the certificate posted for somebody else which have 1000 days of validation, it mod everything to ****.unlock.me in hosts file.... i also installed this certificates in PC,, nothing...
so, when i open Zune in background and run (as admin) ChevronWP7 it prompt a window to put 2 checks, i do it, then When i press Unlock button it say, cannot connect with device, or Zune is not running....obviously it is, nothing
when phone is in "sleep mode" and i run ChevronWP7 it say my phone is PIN locked, of course it's not, i have unlocked the PIN code from SIM, so, nothing
i still cant find the way to install apps using Tom XAP Installer 1.2, is there some steps which im doing wrong? probably i because i have the latest windows phone 7 updates in phone?
os 7.0.7392.0
firmware is 2250.1800.7355.205
hardware 112.576.2.0
radio software 2.2.50.18
radio hardware 8250
bootloader 7.27.1.0
chip soc 0.36.2.0
hacks only work in HTC phones?
any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks
Chevron don't work on build 7392, that installed on your phone.
Not possible yet to install user XAP on your DVP, only buy throught Marketplace.
Unless you a become official app developer for money...
I have a dev unlocked + interop unlocked LG quantum (did it with apphub through dreamspark for free) and in the MFG menu there are tons of options, I stumbled across one that is strange, can anyone tell me what the values here do: Factory Menu > Engineer Menu > Other Setting > Edit Security Policy. I was just curious, perhaps it has something to do with how secure your phone is, but does anyone know for sure?
Locked but Unlocked?
I had done the MFG Unlock form your post earlier today and completed it fine.
I m having a LG quantum running on Mango, 7.10.7720
I am also having an issue of getting system Crashed regularly (the phone restarts automatically).
Now coming to the case, i unlocked the Phone using MFG tools, and changed the Input data as said.
My Pc is running on windows 7 Ultimate, i have installed
DotNet FX4.5,
Microsoft Blend addons SDK..,
Silverlight,C++ Redistribution,
Windows phone 7 Devoloper resources,
Microsoft Windows phone 7 addon for Visual Studio 2010,
Windows Phone Emulator,
Windows Phone 7.1 Assembler,
WPFtoolkit February 2010,and
Zune
..............
After the Unlock i installed XAPDeployX found on XDA,
and when i try to install a xap, (Filemanager)
i get this:
-----------------
Deployment started Unique File Maneger
Connecting to device...
Deployment FAILED with the following ERROR:
Application launch failed. Ensure that the device screen is unlocked and device is developer unlocked. For details on developer unlock, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=195284.
-----------------
Also I had got another message saying
"The Phone is Devoloper locked!"
I rechecked the values in the Registry, which is as required per the post.
I also tried to email XAP files onto the phones, but its saying Unsupported file
Any chance you can help me out..
my aim is to install 3rd party softwares such as Filemanager, Games, etc from PC.
