You're the best we ever had here. You even start opening new threads with "old questions" even before you have the device...
Search for "sim unlock" in this thread. Read the stickys in this section and in ROM development...
Thanks for reply.
I searched but I only could find 1 paid service for it.
Can I install any other radio and ROMs to locked Pure? If yes is it enough for unlocking?
Thanks again.

Yes You CAN
Hello, you can't change the ROM until you do a HardSPL (only can change it to another at&t original one), and also you can't change any radio rom until you CID unlock your pure, and you can't use a different SIM until you SIM unlock your pure.
You can search and find unlockers, but with the risk of damage your phone,
I have a Pure, I did the HardSPL, the SIM and CID unlocking with the Olipro's software, then I downloaded a Diamond 2 ROM, installed the latest radio ROM and everithing OK
I'm using it with COMCEL(Colombia) other service provider
Please do not risk your phone, use the Olipro's Unlocker:

Sorry if this is asked constantly, i tried searching and couldn't see any threads about it.
Basically what i'm wanting to know is if it's possible to unlock a phone that's still locked to a specific carrier (eg, optus or telstra if you're in australia). is this what CID unlocking is?
If so, then i guess i can grab a hermes / jasjam from ebay that's selling for less because it's carrier locked, unlock it, and use it with my current sim card?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
You're definately new with a question like that
Basically CID unlocking allows you to flash a ROM from any carrier and use it.
SIM unlocking allows you to use any SIM card with your existing (or any other) ROM.
If all you want to do is use a stock phone with any carrier I suggest you use POF's CID and SIM unlocker http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SimUnlock.
If you want to get better ROMS you'll need to do a whole pile more reading, and before flashing anything else start with Olipro's Hard-SPL 2.10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722 and Mrvanx's Upgrade Guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462.

so all i'd need to do, assuming i keep the stock rom, is to sim unlock it?
Yep, if you SIM unlock you can use the phone as supplied but with any carriers SIM card.
Oh yes, welcome to XDA-developers - I think if you read a bit more you will realise the benefits of the cooked ROMs here and later want to upgrade - it's highly addictive

One further bit of advice if buying one of these phones from ebay - ask the seller for a picture of the phone when switched on so you can check it has a radio signal - also get him to confirm that it doesn't display NO GSM on the bottom right when it is booting. The NO GSM indicates a brick which may or may not be fixable by the tools we have here.

cheers for the reply
at the moment i've got an imate k-jam, and have been reading up about cooked roms etc, but didn't realise exactly what the unlocking involved (except that it let you play with the roms).
Sorry If this has been covered before I have searched but a million differnt threads each saying different things.
I understand to get custom roms onto the wizzard you need to be CID unlocked.
I have a tmobile mda vario/wizzard G4 (from what ive read its a G4 if your ipl/spl ends .0001)
Ive sucsessfully unlocked the simlock using lokiwiz and am looking at CID unlocking. From reading the forum it sounds like only imei check.co.uk can do the unlock however when i looked at the website i couldnt see any mention of the cid unlock. just want to check as i dont want to spend £20 to sim unlock a phone thats already unlocked.
assuming all is well and they do do the g4 cid unlock as part of the process, the fact that im already sim unlocked using lokiwiz shouldnt present any problems should it?
Thanks

Yes imei-check.co.uk CID unlock your device as well. You can also use shelltool to update the OS on your CID locked G4 device, this is a free alternative. Before paying imei check you might want to confirm that your device is CID locked.
how can i confirm its locked?
thanks

Check if your device is CID locked here.
Use SoftSPL or HardSPL to unlock.
I used HardSPL and can flash with huge amount of roms now..
Yeah, you've read right - I want to CID-Lock my device. Because of some reception issues, i have to send it for repair. I've still warranty on it, but it's unlocked by imei-check.co.uk, so I have to lock it again. Anyone knows somethin'bout it?
Common guys, someone has to know something about it...

Perhaps you'll have to request imei-check.co.uk to send you the locking code
if you had CID unlocked through lokiwiz,it wud have been easy by restoring back the cid_locked.bin with lokiwiz which it creates at the time of Cid unlocking.
Yeah but the problem was, that I have a G4 Device, so it didn't work with lokiwiz, at the time.
Lokiwiz tool does not CID unlock a G4 device,however,you can SIM unlock a G4 device by lokiwiz 0.3 version,it provides you with a SIM unlock code.
Anyway,have you upgraded your phone to any wm6 custom Rom or still on official carrier's OS,which came pre-installed on it ? if you are still on the official Rom,then don't assume that the vendor will have any doubts about it being CID unlocked.But if you upgraded then you got a problem there.If you graded,as it's already CID unlocked,may be if you flash the official carrier's Rom which was pre installed,it might get away with it,well it's a give and take situation,but gonna have to take some risk now.
Cheers

Have a look the-equinox's thread about HardSPL stickied in the G4 thread and also at my tutorial on how to remove HardSPL stickied to the top of the G4 thread. I don't know if it is the same concept and procedure but if my thread will help you then it's worth a try.
Good luck.
So, this must be my first post in this great forum so I'm not quite sure if I'm doing this in the right place.
I'm interested in unlocking my HTC P4350 and before I've posted this thread, I've already read most of the topics that talked about unlocking SIM or CID the Herald. Although, some questions remained and that's why I'm opening this thread.
First, I still can't get the difference between CID and SIM unlock and the way in which they both interact. Don't know if by CID unlocking the device I get SIM unlock, etc.
Secondly, I saw that most users tell people to follow this method, http://www.imei-check.co.uk/heraldunlock.php but I can't really judge it to say if it's safe for my money and device.
Another option was to contact Vodafone from Portugal directly and buy them a unlock code. Although I'm really not sure of this because I want a full device unlock option (CID and SIM unlock I guess) that allows me to work with other network SIM cards, to flash the device with new ROM's and to upgrade to any Windows Mobile I want. Doesn't matter if the solution is free or not. Just name one please !
PS: Also found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433544 but I really don't know if it helps me in any way.
Peace.
CID Unlock - CID stands for Country ID..if you get to CID Unlock your phone, it means you can flash any (officially released) ROMS released for Herald. I suggest you load Hard SPL on your phone, it gets CID Unlocked plus you're safe from bricking it from wrong/bad flashing. See here
SIM Unlock - Would unlock your phone from a specific carrier and be able to use all SIM cards
It doesn't necessarily mean that when you CID Unlock your phone, it gets network unlocked too, no... they are done separately... some utilities (well on other devices) get them integrated on a single program (none i think for the Herald)
On the case of www.imei-check.co.uk, after the payment, they will be providing you an unlock kit that would SIM and CID Unlock your phone..
CID Unlock ( free thru Hard SPL)
SIM Unlock - I guess you have to pay for it since there are still no other free solutions to SIM Unlock a Herald. Contact jockyw2001 for a good price for unlocking.
Thank you very much for the help !
I'm going to use this post to say that I'm very happy with the simple and easy way that jockyw2001 got to SIM unlock my Herald. After long research in a way to unlock my P4350, a member, in this thread told me to talk to him and I did. After a 20 minute e-mail talk, I've got my Herald SIM unlocked for a small fee of 25$ US.
Nice job jocky.
So, I'm going to use this thread to put my questions to avoid starting new ones.
I've already SIM unlocked my phone with jocky and now I've done the HardSPL method to CID unlock the device.
Now comes my really noobish part. If i'm not in mistake, a WM6 update came out to the Herald and I'd like to install it on my PDA. I've got already a different looking OS because the HardSPL method but my 2 questions are about the WM6 update and the TouchIT OS install. Are they both the same thing? Which do you advise to install on the Herald?
Maybe my question is out of the context but I can't explain myself any better :x.
Regards and thank you for reading.

I just used them to unlock a T-mobile Wing. Worked beautifully, was fast and easy (with the time difference, everything was ready by the time I woke up this morning after ordering it last night).
Edit: I see you already unlocked... Oh well, that'll teach me to read the whole thread before hitting the quick reply...
everyone,...
i flashed HSPL, it worked great, i was able to flash a WWE ROM on my French Leo, but it did not unlock the device since when i put another SIM card in, it reads, SIM LOCKED, and will not let me use the device from anything other than the French SIM card,...
thanks for any input you can give,...

HSPL does no sim unlocking
o.k., thanks,...
but when i've flashed other devices, i.e., SPV 3100, vox, touch pro, no problem with the unlock,...
do i then have to go an buy one of those 'unlockers' from one of the websites just for the LEO, or, is there another way,...
have read much, have not found a solution,...
thanks for your help,...

Yes at the moment there is no other way to unlock the HD2 other than to go to your carrier and ask for it or use an unlocking site and provide your IMEI. All HSPL does is to "unlock" you from the clutches of official carrier roms. And provide a nice way to recover if you break your system.
thank you cass,...
any recommendations on an unlocker,...? am reading about many dodgy unlockers who take money and do nothing,...
thanks again for your help,...

Sorry, mine is still carrier locked, some others in this forum have had luck from the following
unlockitnow.com
www.swiftphones.co.uk
http://your-unlock.com/
I cant recommend any of them personally as i have not used them but if you run a search on the forum for HD2 carrier unlock you can read what others have to say.
