As it says in the title "CID unlock"
Basically i have the fabled "phone is not ready error" orange admit it is a sim incompatibility issue but as my contract is paired with a nokia 3g phone they can only send me a 3g sim not the compatible one for the m600.
apparently a different rom may solve this, otherwise i'm going to have to ebay it with the PAYG sim
well try to upgrade to some novendor id rom,search forum for pv_tem
thanks, i paid imei check in the end

I am curious if flashing my AT&T tilt with the HTC software will allow me to use a sim card from another carrier. Has anyone tried this?

Nope. Find something/someone/someway to SIM unlock phone. Not possible as of yet. ROM flashing will work only after you CID unlock your phone, which means you can flash different ROMs onto your phone than originally suppied.
Some post couple days ago talk about how to sim unlock already, just search for it and call the att number on there, it work for me.

haha, yeah, for some reason i never think to call up At&t for anything... i'm sure you can lie to your provider so they will give you the unlock code (at least until enough people use the same story verbatim to where they realize that it must be posted some discussion board as to how to get sim unlocked....)
I am still somewhat confused as to the unlocking aspect.
I know I can obtain the SIM unlock code for the Tilt from AT&T. Are you saying that it is still impossible to CID unlock the phone, once this has been done?

SIM unlocking and CID unlocking are two different things.
CID unlocking allows you to use OS ROMs from other variants of the same hardware. i.e. HTC TyTn II ROM on a Tilt. CID unlocking can be done easily with HardSPL.
SIM unlocking allows you to use SIMs other than your carrier's. Right now the only way to get a Tilt SIM-unlocked is to get an unlock code from AT&T, or to purchase an unlock code from someone else (who is probably just abusing an "insider" within AT&T to feed them unlock codes.). Flashing an alternative radio ROM can remove a SIM lock, but from a few posts I have read, it is going to be much more difficult/take much longer for our enterprising hackers to figure out how to flash an unsigned radio ROM and have it actually boot, apparently the radio bootloader now does an integrity/signing check against the ROM and will only boot signed carrier ROMs.
Well then I'm still going to call ATT tomorrow for the sim Unlock (heading to japan in a month) but, from what your saying does that mean i can go ahead and flash my phone using HardSPL to HTC stock? or do i need to have sim unlock first regardless what i do?
I understand it's encrypted. But what happens if you dump the radio rom from a tytnii and flash it onto a 8925?

Don't think it'll work. I think that the ROM has to be signed until the bootloader gets cracked. Not sure. If it worked, we would've heard about it and it would be in all the FAQs.
I wonder how it works though. Definitely am not knowledgeable enough about this yet, but upgrades have come out in the past for older phones. It wouldn't change the lock state though. Why is that? If there's a way to corrupt it and then flash back the original? Are there any signed radio roms out?
What exactly happens when you flash an unsigned one? Brick or just no radio?

Can you let me know how it goes with the call to AT&T? I'm going to HK in December and will call AT&T soon. I want to wait a little before calling since I just got the phone last week.
No worries. Tell them just that. You'll be off the phone within 5 minutes. No hassle at all compared to when I called to get my nokia 6682 unlocked a year ago. Just make sure you call international support
flashing tutorial
Hello,
I am very new to this so please forgive me. I did some searches but was unable to find anything complete. So is there any complete tutorial on how i can CID unclock and flash an AT&T Tilt with Dutty_s_TouchFlo_Final_Rom
Thank you
Just got AT&T Tilt, can i flash HardSPL without using AT&T Sim & w/o unlock code??
Hello,
I have been searching around for answers but I am still rather unclear of this.
A Tilt was received and I am located in Singapore, there is no way I can have access to an AT&T Tilt sim card.
How do I unlock the phone apart from using the "call AT&T method" and buying it off ebay method?
I tried calling them 14 times on their 916 number to no avail. Please help me with this.
Is it possible for me to just install HardSPL to solve everything?
Thank you.
Gerald
Anyone knows?
Ok just figured it out. HardSPL only gives the CID unlock, not the SIM unlock.
For SIM unlock I have to call AT&T/buy on ebay.
congrats. You get an A+ for research.
I'm minding about buying a cingular 2125 on eBay, but the phone I choose is locked to Cingular (ATT), and If I but it, I'll get just the phone without SIM card...
May I be able to SIM unlock this phone without the need of a Cingular SIM card?, I've read many post stating that you may need the Cingular SIM Card at least once to get it unlocked, is that right? or is there an alternate way to get it unlocked not involving using that SIM card.
Thanks for your replies.

I believe if u can get it into flight mode you should be fine.
i belive you dont need a sim to unlock your phone,i have one and as i recall i dint use a sim card wile unlocking it,how did i unlock it you might be asking? well i flash it with one of the wm6 roms almost 99% of them are network unlock,so mate i would just recommend buy your phone and flash it to wm6.1 standard or if you wanna try something new and difrent flash it with wm6.1 pro, anyways gl mate ^^
Just follow the Step-By-Step guide by Karhoe which is a sticky at the top of this list. I wouldn't try flashing until after you are unlocked and are SuperSID mode. I've unlocked 2 AT&Ts for use with T-Mobile with no problems.

i think its all original cause i alredy rooted it and flash it to 6.5.1 XE
when i search network and select the correct network for my simcard it says
"Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
and when i turn it to automatic select network it says
"Unable to connect to this newwork at this time.Please try again later"
what does that means

Seems like you need to get an unlock code.

Hey,
I've already got my SIm Unlock code (this guide helped me get it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233513 )
However when I placed my non-TMobile Sim, I don't get the "SIM Code" popup. This phone belongs to my godfather and he's not sure if he tried entering the code too many times when he tried to use an AT&T Sim.
How can I check if its permanently locked and/or force it to bring up the Sim code popup?
I'm rooted with S-OFF but still on the stock HTC rom.
Thanks.
Edit: I've done the Diag screen to Clean S58 Data and it's still not showing up.. :-/
Edit 2: Scratch the above. I did the Clean S58 data twice, and I got signal. My godfather will love this!

Branded or unbraded doesn't mean fake or original.
Branded = it came with your sim carrier (any logo of your carrier on it?)
Unbranded= means the opposit
If you have a branded phone, you can use only the sim of your carrier unless you unlock it.
This is why I asked. Good luck!

I need to reset network number counter because I buy a AT&T HTC ONE X in ebay but when i need to insert network code it says is wrong. The problem is not the code but the seller is inserted wrong code and the phone is blocked. Is possible to downgrade phone from 4.1.1 in 4.0.4? Or is another method to reset network counter number ?
Thanks in Advance.

what do you mean 'network code' and 'network count number'?
I mean when insert another gsm card not AT&T the phone need a code to unlock.

OK - got you now. You can buy phone unlock codes on eBay too.
Maybe some other member here can tell you a reliable seller as I've always had unlocked devices.
I don't think changing roms will help you any.
I have the code but the wrong number is inserted by the seller and the phone is needed to reset network code numbering.

If the phone is rooted you can use the JET tool to downgrade your hboot and then run a 4.0.4 RUU but if you have superCID you will not be able to upgrade to 4.1.1 unless you S-OFF first.
Ofcourse, I have no idea if RUUing to 4.0.4 will help your situation but that would be the method to do so.
If you do not have root, you can use the 3.18 root method and then S-OFF and then RUU to 4.0.4
Edit: So I have managed to return to stock 3.17 Telus RUU relocked and S-ON. Now I will find the fastest way to unlock and SuperCID and then update here.
