I have NFSFAN 6.5 v16 and am having trouble with getting the GPS running. I started with the 2.31 unlock. If I start over and use the .40 unlock, will I have any bad effects from this? Can you go from 2.31 unlock to 0.40? The phone is a replacement from Verizon with 3378 radio oem with WM 6.1 (refurb so the customization already ran), I flashed to sprint radio 3.42.30 and then went to the above listed. Anyone got any advice?
Yep - read this.
Went forward about 6 am this morning. Up and running. Thanks for the reply and link, just a bit late.

It says that on the page:
"XDAunlock only works if you upgrade to a ROM which also has the Wireless Modem feature."
4.00.11 ENG WM2003 does not have wireless modem feature
So, how do I unlock "4.00.11 ENG WM2003"?
Thanks,
Izzet
downgrade the s/w to xda developers v1.2
then back up to wm2003
gaz :roll:
When I downgrade to XDA Developers v1.2, it will have the XDAUnlock.exe and it will unlock the phone at startup.
When I upgrade to wm2003, wouldn't the unlock gone away?
once unlocked it never needs unlocking again lol however ,mch times you upgrade/downgrade your phone
gaz
thank you
unlocking
OK, so let me make sure I have this straight, so if I had unlocked my sx 56 with the xda-developer's 3.17 special edition rom, then later reimaged my sx 56 to the T-mobile Windows Mobile 2003
4.00.21 rom, my sx 56 will continue to stay unlocked?
Yep,
That is the way it worked for me. Good Luck!

Now I am using the rom 4.00.16 ENG T-Mobile US from the kitchen, then I tried the xdaunlock.exe just to verify that it was indeed still unlocked, but xdaunlock.exe doesn't seem to run under the rom I stated above. Is there any other way to check?
yeah put another network sim in lol simple
Unlocking
OK and thanks for all the great help guys, smashing stuff going on here.
Just came from the Cingular store. Got an exchange for the messed up on I already had.......... Can anyone tell me how to CID unlock and SIM unlock my phone...
It must be a new one becuase it reads as follows:
ROM version: 2.25.11.1 WWE
ROM date: 5/11/06
RAdio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version 4.1.13.12
ExtRom version: 2.25.11.102
will the normal unlock that is in the custom roms work for my phone???
"try it"
try what
tray what
i got it sim unlocked but how do i do the CID unlock
No - you can only SIM unlock, you can't CID unlock using the free programs available here. (It's possible you can CID unlock from a third-party website that charges for it...I think it's http://www.imei-check.co.uk)
I flashed my 8125 to 2.25 before realizing I needed to CID unlock it first. Fortunately most of my tweaks don't require custom ROMs. I'm sure eventually they will get Lokiwiz to work with the newer ROMs as well.
Uh-oh!! :|
I'm getting an 8125 at the end of this week.......so, if it is has the new ROM on it, then I can't put one of Summiters ROM's on it??
I sure hope not.....
I have an 8125. I lokiwiz unlocked it in software thinking that I needed to unlock it to upgrade from the original to 2.17.
Then I recently upgraded to 2.25 using the official Cingular ROM upgrade download. I am using the phone fine, except that I do not have push email present on it.
How did I upgrade without SIM or CID unlocking it? Why does it say in this thread that I would need to unlock the phone to change the ROM?
Update
This is what I see when I turn the phone on:
IPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
Does this make a differnece. When I swapped out my old one in the store they gave me this one and the guy at Cinglar told me it was a brand new one. I saw him get it out the store and on the box the manufacture date was this month June 2006... I have anohter 8125 that I purchased in April and I notice that the flash chips are differnt. How can I load Summiter's new ROM onto this new 8125 has anyone had any luck. I used Lockwiz from this site and it did do the SIM unlock but I can't tell if it did the CID unlock. Can this unit be CID unlocked. I don't want to fry my phone.
interesting that i just got one overnighted to me with the v1.8, i can only speak from my experience so take it for what it's worth, i had the original, i upgraded to the 2.25, and then i was thinking oops i should have cid/sim unlocked my phone, so then what did i do? i used the ship rom download on this site to reset the phone to v1.8 it changed everything back, then i simply ran the lokiwiz02b i believe it was and cid and sim unlocked the phone, and to test i ran an imate kjam ROM just to make sure i actually did it and it worked, sure enough kjam splash screen and poof i was good to go, and then i just updated to summiters rom and voila there you go.
i would expect you could do the same. just use the cingular ship rom v1.8 to go back and then do what i did, i couldnt imagine different results since i just did this last week.
I don't think you can downgrade a phone with the new flash chip (G4 - Rom numbers ending in .0001) because the 1.x Roms don't have IPL/SPL for G4 Chips.
upgrade
Hey if that is the case how will they do this. When they release a new rom won't it be available on Cingualr;s site. So there has to be some way to do it. Cingular wouldn't want to confuse the customers. In any event should I just return the phone and hope I get lucky to get one without the new flash chip. Like I said before the phone is SIM unlcoked I am trying ott to get it CID unlocked so that I can use summiter's latest rom
www.imei-check.uk.co claims they can CID unlock it for you.
The trick to changing the Rom would be to not flash the booloader, Summiter has a new multi-installer thingy that will allow you to flash everything except the Bootloader (but you will need to dump the $38.00 for CID unlock).
Or you could report speradic touchscreen problems and do a warranty replacement by calling customer service. See if they send you a G3 phone (which they probably will).
I have bought cingular 8525 with 1.6 version but its locked.Can anyone tell me how to unlock it free with no hastles. Thanks
Do you mean you have a bootloader version 1.06? If so, that is what I just did about 2 days ago.
Simply go to the TyTN wiki and find the list of ROMs. Get the Cingular ROM version 1.30 with the 1.04 boot loader. Flash that, do the unlocker thing that is stickied in the upgrades forum for the Hermes, then you can upgrade to whatever ROM you wish. I recommend the 1.09 bootloader ROM by HTC. It has the best performance out of all of them and it is now possible to downgrade if you want again.
BTW, once you unlock in 1.04, it stays with you nomatter what ROM you flash.
Good luck

Not true.
Once you CID unlock, you can flash ANY rom, but bootloader 1.04 will not stay.
Whoops
That is exactly what I meant, thanks Pof.
I found a forum thread with a "Ship" version of the ROM.
ROM Version: 1.12.405.1 WWE (World Wide English)
Radio Version: 02.67.90
Bootloader: 1.12.0000
CID: HTC__001
The ROM can be download here.
That could be nice if someone add it to the ftp site.
Enjoy!
Play time!!!!
Thanks for the Ship ROM. Have been wanting to play a bit but was constrained by lack of my Shipped rom. The d/l link is also fast! Did mine in 2.5 minutes.
Will upload to ftp when I get home. This time I will
the above mentioned link to the thread is not working!
this is the correct one:
http://www.mobileplanet.com/ft.aspx?i=140451&thread=7
according to this, it seems to be P3300 shipping Rom, as device is originally shipped with by htc!(as stated by artemis)
greetz
Not working for me.
unlocked mda by imeicheck but get message invalid model id?
Anyone knows why?
i suppose its due to bootloader versions:
G3 device, IPL version should end in .0000 and if you have a G4 device IPL version should end in .0001.
i am in posession of a hero, ipl ending.0001= g4, cid unlocked, running dopod p800w rom and also get "wrongmodelID"
take care trying to get past this security setting has already destroyed one device, so dont fiddle with it unless you know what you are doing!

Uploaded already. Now I am playing with Dopod rom
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
I tried upgarding to SUPER COOL WM6 (after having my new HTC P3300 for 2 WHOLE DAYS), and screwed it up!!!!
Luckily this download saved my stoooopid *ss. Phew!!! Managed to get into the bootloader (it's a bit of a mission), it came up with "USB" at the bottom of the bootloader screen when I connected the phone to my pc.
Ran the .exe file (no activesync), it worked first time, with a progress indicator on the phone.
Now then... I still wanna upgrade to WM6. Can someone please help, what info do you need from the phone to tell me what update Rom I should use?
Thanks again!

I had 2,17 and upgraded to the leak rom 3.16. I did not use any locker or unlocker when upgrading. I am having issues with mail2web that it sends the same sent email several times. I think there is an active sync bug with the leaked rom. Anyways, I am trying to downgrade back to the official 2.17 and I when try to flash after the intial reboot it tell me error 328 invaild command
can anyone please help??
According to my sources, you needed to use olipro's unlocker v2 in order to upgrade the rom to 3.16 in the first place. I wonder how you did it?
I just got done putting the 2.17 rom back on my machine from 3.16 due to a ton of stability issues, not to mention I was downloading at approx 100kbps with 3.16 as opposed to 6-700kbps with 2.17.
Anyways...
You need to use the relocker program and then directly begin the 2.17 rom utility from HTC.
Be sure to remove and reinsert the usb cable when noted.
RELOCKER
nah, you dont need the unlocker if you never flashed a different rom to begin with. (stock rom)
to op, sounds like maybe you need to downgrade back to original bootloader...thats the best i can come up with.
thanks for the responses,
how do I get the oringinal bootloader??
i figure it out. For someone reason when you upgrade to 3,16 the device unlocks automatically, so i relocked the device with the relocker and the 2.17 rom flashed with out any issues. thanks
Did you have to go back to the original radio also?

Yep I tried to downgrade to 2.17 and had the same issue. All I did was hard reset the 3.16 and it cleared all my audio woes, so I never went back to 2.17. At least now I know why I couldn't. And no, you did not need to unlock to upgrade to 3.16
Find the relocker. There is a version of it that has the stock bootloader with it.
