i am running WM6 and flashed using the tut and was wondering if i can use it for any GSM provider?
If you did the process for SIM unlock, then yes you can.
Actually, it depends on if you followed the process to CID unlock, not SIM unlock. If you followed the process that allowed you to upgrade to WM6 and it didn't involve using shelltool then you should be CID unlocked and flashing a Radio ROM should not be a problem.

My Dopod818 Pro came shipped with OS version 1.0.13.21 how do I know if it's CID unlocked already?
The wiki states to look for the OS version 1.0.13.21 to determine the unlocking of the CID. Is there any other way to see it?
Did you run the cid unlock program as the instructions given in wiki? If so, where did you download (cid unlock program) it? The wiki link for this file no longer works, because it was removed.
If you see that rom (1.0.13.21) on a device you purchased, all it means is that you have an old rom installed. Upgrade to a newer rom.
Probably, you didn't run the real cid unlock program. That unlock program is based on the old rom, but it's NOT the old rom for regular use, in that condition. That's why at end of the real unlock program, you verify the rom 1.0.13.21, ONLY to know you completed the unlock program correctly. Then you upgrade to current rom of choice.
If you can get the true cid unlock program referred to in wiki, first you upgrade to a later rom, to get off the installed rom 1.0.13.21. Then, perform the cid unlock process mentioned in wiki, using the doctored unlock rom, which will be shown as 1.0.13.21, if completed properly.
Finally, if you do all that, upgrade rom to newer rom of choice with your now cid unlocked device.
Sorry for the dumbness of the question, but do I have to sim-unlock my Kaiser (Orange) before flashing with a new radio/rom (Dutty's Hybrid 29/4). I've heard of unlockers just patching your current radio, so does flashing with a new radio automatically unlock the phone anyway?
One more thing - does this Dutty's rom (I'm going for the non-cube 1.65.14.06) also flash the radio, or is it just the rom? It says +(radio) on the posts, but I just want to be sure...
Cheers

Sim unlock, no. There is something called CID unlock which you must do in order to flash. You CID unlock by flashing HardSPL. Look it up. Sim unlock will let you use your device on any carrier.
The sim unlock works by patching a special radio (which is actually non functional as a radio, but it helps reveal the sim unlock code) and running a special program on the device and a computer. When you are done you have to flash back your original radio.
Flashing a new radio does not automatically unlock your phone.
Some of Dutty's roms come with a radio, some do not. If they say rom+radio they do. If they say rom only well, its rom only. You have to read each cooks individual FAQ/
thread to know what you are flashing.
i read somewhere that sometimes when you flash with simlock it is possible that it stops accepting any simcards.
so when i first flashed i also simunlocked.
but maybe im wrong and you dont have to do this.
i am sim, supercid, and security unlocked and haven't had any problems with my phone read the wiki it will help you understand everything
Yes you have to sim unlock your orange branded tytnII before flashing, search around xda there are a few free ways of doing this...
i purchased a kaiser that has been fully unlocked with no carriers attached to it. i want to install a cooked rom e.g Dutty on my phone. Do i still need to do the sim unlock and hard spl?. Can i just install the rom update without doing any of those steps?.
You don't need to sim unlock it but you will need to cid unlock the phone and install hard-spl still.

I have a Vox which is CID and SIM unlocked thanks to IMEI-Check.
I get Error 270 when I try and Flash a ROM. I do not understand why. The phone is CID unlocked so that means that I do not have to run UPSL? Am I misunderstanding something? What do I need to do to put a new Rom onto this phone. The guides all assume that your phone is not CID unlocked but I cannot find a guide that applies to CID unlocked phones.
Is there anyone out there with an answer?
USPL is the only thing you need to do, SIM Unlocking has nothing to do with flashing! You CID-unlock the Vox by doing USPL
Thanks - Ran UPSL and now have a wm6.6 SP!! I'm still a little confused IMEI-CHECK say there software CID unlocks your phone??? But UPSL still needed?

Hello
I want sim unlock my sensation, but also want to be stock everything and not rooted. So here comes the question:
If I root my phone, and do the sim unlock. Can I run the RUU, and make my sensation S-ON and STILL keep the sim unlock ?
Thanks

Absolutely yes. Root your phone using Revolutionary, perform the Sim Unlock procedure then run the RUU. Once the RUU has successfully installed follow the Revolutionary instructions to S-On your Hboot.
Thank you, I am gonna do it soon
