How to unlock CID for G4 (dopod 818 pro)

Dear brother,
could you recommend me how to open CID unlock for dopod 818 pro?.
I had search at XDAwiki but there isn't have literature for G4 Type.
Do me a favor for this problem?
Thanks in advanced.

From all the information that I could gather here is that you can not CID unlock the G4 type of Prophet yet.

Yup, cannot CID unlock the G4 yet.
Although there is a website that offers a service to CID unlock the G4. Guess it's only a matter of time till it's possible for free too. But how long that takes noone knows

But yesterday,
i saw thread in pdamobiz forum that mention can be upgrade or downgrade dopod without unlock the CID..is it possible?

I am not the expert here, but u can upgrade with the NoVendorID.exe Tool without CID unlock? u cant? i was sure u can...
also i saw a thread one said u can use the aWizard Tool to unlock, but i am not sure he was right, he said he did, but dont know i can belive u can use an old Wizard Tool for a new Prophet...
hope it will help ..

Again, you can not CID (country ID) unlock the G4 with software as of now.
The other questions of yours have already been answered in other threads of this forum, please use search and consult them first. New threads only make it harder for new people searching for the right threads that already contain the correct answers.
Nonetheless you can update your G4 with new ROM versions the Novendor ID version is one of these ROMs.
But you seem to have hard times reading whats written on these forums anyways, so it would be better for your to stay off of ROM updating if you do not want to brick your phone.
You need to read a lot of stuff (including searching) to understand what you should do.
The people who offer self cooked ROMs have quite a lot of technical experience and understanding what they do and they do it for quite some time now. You ca not simply take stuff from all kind of places pull it in your ROM and happily flash it. There is some sort of brain usage required to do this

Question as to what Phone I have

I have an HTC Touch on Bell. I wanted to install the Onyx rom but in the forum thread for finding my CID it says not for Bell Phones. Does this mean that i can't flash this ROM? Is there any way at all that I can do this? Or is it hopeless?

HTC Touch on bell is CDMA Touch - Known as the vogue. Only flash Rom's for vogue - Check out NFSFAN"s Roms - there are probably many others, but I don't know - I have ELFin on Rogers so don't do much reading on the Vogue or Rom's for that device. ONYX ROM is Elf and Elfin only as stated in ONYX Rom threads. If you flash that ROM to your phone you will have big trouble

Read through the WIKI page for vogue for many answers and guides for your device

Good luck

How can I check if my touch pro is unlocked for installing custom roms?

Hi all,
I'm wondering how I can check if my HTC Touch Pro is unlocked for installing custom roms. I bought it without a carrier with no simlock.
Don't know if that matters?
Hope that someone can tell me how to check this...
Thanks

If you did not buy it from a carrier, then it should be SIM unlocked, which means you can install anyone's SIM card and the device should work. NOTE - use of a SIM card implies you have a GSM-based Raphael. There are also CDMA Raphael's out there (for North American carriers) which don't use a SIM card.
In either case, if the device is unlocked, then you can go ahead and install any of the Raphael ROMS being developed in the Raphael ROM forum. Be careful, if you have a CDMA Raphael, go to the CDMA forum.
Security Unlocked is something else, and this is only required if you want to flash the RADIO from another device, such as the Blackstone or Quartz models. This, you have to get done by someone else. There is a sticky thread in the Raphael ROM forum where you can get more information.
Personally, I just stick with SIM unlock, since the Raphael-based radios are working just fine for me.

you should probably put hard spl on there just in case to be safe

Ok thanks than I am going to install a custom rom tonight.
Hope it works!

You need to flash hard spl before doing anything.

Oke, does any one know where this is explained?
So just a short explanation about what to do in what order to install custom roms etc...
Thanks a lot already!

Uh, try the noob flashing thread and the hard spl thread in the rom forum, and the flashing thread at fuzemobility.

Wrong thread, should post in ROM section.
You have a branded phone, these are official ROMS for unbranded phones, wayt till TM provides theire new ROM based on an official HTC ROM.
Or HSPL your phone (void warranty) and flash away

Had the same problem and flashed the latest ROM using SSPL. It was quite painless and the HD2 works fine. Do a search for SSPL or HSPL in this forum and all will be explained.
good luck

Why is it necessary to download the new rpm. I have the same problem. Just curious. My phone seems to be working nicely.

Use the below link to get the ROM and then grab a Goldcard and put the ROM on. Or you can follow the HSPL route instead if you prefer.
Will probably invalidate any TMo warranty you may have so be aware.

[Q] May I ask for an advice?!

Hi all, guys!
First of all I want to say thanks to all who get this great forum updated with ROMs, guides and tutorials! I've read all of the most interesting threads and I'm ready to put my hands on my Desire S I'm waiting!
I need only a little advice. The Desire S I'm waiting is branded by my national operator. No SIM lock or other, only some personalizations.
I think I'll debrand it at light speed, flashing an official ROM and then proceed to unlock it / root it.
And here I need ur advice: do you think it's better to flash an old official ROM to unlock and S-OFF with Revolutionary, or to flash the latest and unlock with the HTC tool?! What are the benefits to have S-Off / Unlock VS S-On / Unlock?
Thank you in advance!

If you unlock with HTCDev HTC may notice what you did to your phone. So there is a bigger chance of voiding your warranty.
Also if you s-off you will have much more possibilities for customizing your phone. And everything you do will be much more easy (flashing ROM, changing radio, kernel etc.)
So I would really recommend you not to use htcdev but to s-off your phone by yourself

Ditto.
But if this is the first time you're doing all this, i suggest a few days worth of reading about RUUs, CID, Goldcard, Misc_version, etc, before you contemplate changing branded phone firmware. You may not need it, but knowing this stuff is like having a condom - It's better to have one and not need it, rather that need one and not have it!

Thank u for replies!!!

LOOOL, u're definitively right (about condoms first!!!) !!!
As I said in my post I've read hundreds of posts and tutorials about goldcard and debranding, warranty, S-OFF and many others stuff.
I've downloaded the possible and the unpossible about Desire S!!! And I haven't the phone yet!!! LOOOOOL

Make sure you read the sticky thread in development section. It really helped me a lot when i started. As for roms to enjoy your mobile phone since its new i would suggest not to go to ics yet since some stuff are not functional. Go for 2.3.7 roms mostly. Welcome to Android side and hf.

Thank you nikolaaas.
I know ICS for Saga is not fully functional (yet?! ;D ;D) and a little buggy.
Hope developers may find better solutions when ICS will be official for Saga!
In my case I'd like first of all to debrand my phone and then try some custom ROM (I've read great things about MIUI or Runnymede based ROMS).
By the way I'm not really new in Android experience. As you can see in my signature, thank to great people, I use Android 2.3 in my reallllllly old Polaris since 2 years (with some problems, obviously, but nothing really bad!)! I think that these are the things that make great Android and this group of developers!!!!
Thanks!!!
