Is my phone cid locked?

How can I tell if my phone is cid-locked, I would really like to change the ROM without the risk of bricking it. Has anyone one tried lokiwiz to cidunlock their phone? any advice would be appreciated. BTW I bought the phone from gray market in Hong Kong and is Vodafone branded, do you think it would be locked?
It came preloaded with Dopod Rom, but I don't like it that much. Also what is the best radio rom, the dopod radio rom is a bit weak.
IPL 2.15.0001
SPL 2.15.0001
Rom vs: 2.15.13.27 WWE
Radio: 02.19.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.09
Ext ROM: 2.15.13.21
Thanks

you are on G4, so yes you are still CID locked.
Normally when you flash your rom you will know imediately when it try to update.

so should I try to flash a rom and see what happens? if it goes through without an error it is cid unlocked? if an error pops up it is locked? Should I try this or should I avoid the risks? Any ROM suggestions? Qtek maybe?

Since your phone is G4 chip, i'm pretty sure you are CID locked. Dont worry about the CID locking for now, GOOD ROMS outthere been using different programs to get around CID locking problem. I suggest you can start with PDAMobiz rom from the other thread. REMEMBER USE G4 program not G3 or other programs. or look for any rom that has NoVender CID in the name.

MDA VARIO II with Dopod WM6
I recently bought Tmobile MDA Vario ii with Dopod Wm6. When it boots it shows dopod sign so I think it is dopod. The ROM is 3.54.707.3.
I want to upgrade to Wm6.1 but Tmobile has only official 3.60.xx rom presently available for download. Can I directly flash any Hermis compatible ROM on MDA Vario II.?
Since it has Dopod WM6 the CID lock must have been diabled I suppose. Am I right? and should I directly flash any HERMIS official or extended ROM? what are your suggestions Thanks

I don't know enough about the Hermes and flashing to be certain, but I think you'll need to HardSPL (which bypasses bootloader CID checks) before flashing a ROM.
Take a look at the Hermes sub fora before doing anything though...

HTC ROM or DOPOD ROM?

Hi everyone. I've just got hold of the vodafone version of the HTC VOX and will be unlocking it via the imei unlock website shortly.
I've been reading through the posts here and I can find the DOPOD rom, which seems ok but not sure if there is an HTC version. From what I can see the DOPOD is really HTC but more aimed at the Asian market.
So is there an HTC version of this ROM available yet and where can it be found?
Does anyone have any info or screen shots of what the apps and features of the DOPOD rom actually are? The reason is that Vodafones versions seem ok but I am interested to know what the other brands add in or leave out?
Look forward to hearing from you all....

Some people dumped their ROM, but at the moment there is no tested/proven method to flash these dumps. I'm not aware of any official ROM update from HTC for the unbranded HTC S710. Once you have unlocked your Vox, and with unlock I mean "CID unlocked" which means you can flash any ROM (not just your provider's branded version), and once there is an official HTC ROM update available, you are able to flash it.
Keep an eye on my "Vox bootloader" thread here, because it deals with those subjects CID unlocking, dumping and flashing ROMs.
Update
Apparently there are official ROM updates available. See"
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Vox/rom/
There's a test version as well. Whatever it is ...

Thanks for the reply and info. I like the page you've set-up and will be monitoring it for more updates.
Think I'll try the DOPOD rom as this vodafone version is just damn annoying with all there network settings plastered all over it (as you'd expect!).
Always like the more generic roms so will give it a go....

Super quick Q
If i get my device (HTC Vox) unlocked from Imei-check.co.uk, that means (removes SIM/NETWORK LOCK - use any provider, removes CID lock - flash any firmware)
So please confirm that since it is CID unlocked, i can flash ANY vox firmware (i love the look of Dr. Gonzo's)
I apologise for being a bit apprehensive, but i just bricked my SPV M600 (Aka HTC Prophet)! lol
R.I.P Beautiful Prophet!

Yes. You can use any ROM once it is CID unlocked, however you do not need to pay for this service, you can use the Vox USPL to patch SPL to allow unsigned ROM to be flashed.
The only benefit to services like imei-check are permanent SuperCID and removing the SIM/SP lock.

Vox Update SPL (USPL) 1.16

Hi guys,
I've just implemented a Vox USPL which allows you to flash any Vox ROM updates, i.e. you can flash any *official* ROM even if your phone's model and vendor ID doesn't match. It's confirmed that you can also flash cooked ROMs
This SPL is based on original Vox 1.16 SPL but includes 3 patches:
1) g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0 (set 32)
2) Does not check Model & Vendor ID
3) Does not check signature*
(*) code must be formally signed i.e. contain properly-formatted signatures on the right places, however no checking is performed against them.
This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Vox after running USPL on it, no need to pay for CID unlock anymore!
The USPL will *not* help you to SIM unlock your device. You still have to pay for that.
The USPL runs in RAM and is *not* flashed to your device, so there is no risk there. Once it runs you can run any official Vox ROM update utility.
The USPL does *not* permanently CID unlock your phone, like the CID unlocker from imei-check or so.
After you flashed a ROM your phone is again CID locked. Each time you wonna flash a ROM with a different model and/or vendor ID (different from your phone) or a cooked ROM, you must run the USPL again and then flash the ROM.
It's beta and untested and the risk is entirely yours !! Don't blame me if you brick your phone
EDIT:
You can now also flash the USPL allowing you to flash any unsigned (cooked ROM or ROM module, e.g. radio or OS) or signed ROM with any model/vendor ID. The USPL substitutes your SPL until you perform a full ROM update. Consider it as an extra insurance in case something goes wrong with flashing cooked ROMs or any other ROM update !
Instructions:
1. Run the USPL (Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip)
2. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe (Vox-USPL-RUU.zip)
Have fun,
JockyW

mtty1.42.zip : terminal emulator (not neccessary if u only do ROM updates, but if you wonna play with the bootloader commands you need it)
Vox-USPL-RUU.zip: flash version of USPL (Note: you must first run USPL from "Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip" before you can flash it with ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Vox-USPL-RUU.zip !!!)
Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip : instructions included
Credits: in particular to pof. This USPL and also the one for Excalibur is based on his USPL for the Elf. See here

I think this is one of the most fantastic news of the century!!!
Finally some cooking can start on this little device.
Thanks again,
Ka.

noob question
what the difference between sim unlock and cid unlock?

This can be found in various threads around here, anyway.
SIM Lock - You can't use a SIM from a different provider than the one who sold you the phone.
CID-Lock - You can't flash your phone with a ROM which hasn't been cooked by your provider (or manufacturer for HTC unbranded phones).

jockyw2001 great but make one for htc oxygen pls.

htc s710 - rom
confirm this is working very gd

Same here

anyone online right now wanna drop me a line about this... what do I do exactly with the ruu file. Do I place rom image in that folder while runnning update???

so i followed the instructions and executed the cid bypass(installed itsutils and haret). once i get to the end it says use mtty or flash with RUU. so I attempt to flash right after (am I supposed to flash while the screen is black) but its gives me a connections error. I figure its because the phone is off. So I turn it on and update with the RUU again but only make it to 3% before I get a invalid vendor id. Would anyone care to comment on how I can flash this vox to the dopod rom...

To the users who had the same problem as me I am currently flashing my phone and I managed to get past my problem by using the SDA Application unlocker on my vox. I always thought that HTC were already application unlocked. Was going crazy for a while but I guess I should've followed the instructions step-by-step regardless of what I thought.
Big up to jockyw2001(and of course pof for without him alot of us would still be using shipped rom) for this wicked tool.
Cheers

I only got this phone so I could upgrade it for a friend to stop the boot loop. It seems to have fixed that problem so I guess it's better than the other roms. On the other hand I can't stand smartphone's so my suggestion is to ditch your SP and switch to PPC . Also I read before hand that this ROM doesn't include Windows Live Messenger but it is included in the rom. Just thought I'd let u guys know.

input please
Just ran into another problem and would appreciate some input. I understand that USPL only works for one flash...but I wasn't aware that a hard reset counted as a flash. Regardless my device hung at the dopod boot screen after a hard reset. Is this normal after using USPL on a device, and if so does this occur with all devices??? I would hate to give a phone back and have to tell the person that they can't perform a hard reset...

If you flash a full ROM the SPL is overwritten with the one in the ROM (Dopod = 1.19). Nothing to do with USPL. Booting can take a long time after hard reset. Unplug battery and try again.

Thanks, I got it to work eventually...Good to know USPL doesn't effect hard resets, I guess you learn something new everyday.
If I had to take a guess before hand I'd figure a SP would boot faster than a PPC, but I realize now that I'd be wrong...
thanks to all for the help, I can finally return this Vox back to its owner
cheers

Hi
I flashed my E650 in French with the swissrom (present on FTP), all works !
an idea to change the logo operator to HTC original ?
thanks

thought I fixed the problem. seems as if after a day it just hangs at the dopod screen. It was working fine everytime I had it. As soon as I give it back it seems to hang. Guess ima just flash it back to the HTC rom, too much hassle for just $20.

why SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip can't unlock my Orange SPV E650?

Touchflo roms in T-Mobile MDA Vario Problem

Hey guys,
I am a new comer in this forum. I have been trying to update my T-mobile MDA vario for quite sometime now. I have read almost all the guides and instructions in this site. But I don't know what problem I am having. I tried both TNT.1437.Wizard.Touch and TNT.1921_Wizard_TouchFLO roms. In both case the flashing got stuck at 99% and then showed an error 302. then I had to get back to my shipped 2.21 original rom and try again. I also tried XM6r3 rom. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Please can anybody help me!!! in the guide I was told to flash with 2.26 rom. But whenever I try it it shows invalid vendor id error. ???? What to do now. Is it impossible to upgrade to WM6 in T-Mobile MDA vario. (I CID unlocked my phone following the guide) Any help will be highly appreciated. thanks

MDA vario comes CID locked.. Unlock CID..search for WST... wizard service tool and unlock CID first.

irisiris is mostly right, if you get the invalid vendor id error then you're probably still CID lock. You said that you CID unlocked it already, but it might not have taken. The part he was wrong about though is that WST can't CID unlock your phone, you need lokiwiz to do that which I'm assuming you already knew. However, WST can tell you if you're CID unlocked or not. Just run it on your computer and click the CID actions button and it will tell you if you're CID unlocked or not for sure.
EDIT: Actually I was wrong, mestrini did add CID unlocking to the latest version of WST. Sorry irisiris.

you guys are right I finally CID unlocked my device. I checked it with WST and it said it is unlocked. Now I am in XDA mini rom with IPL/SPL 1.05. now I tried to flash with official tmobile 2.26 rom. but I still get the invalid vendor error. Now what to do????

In case you haven't solved your problem yet, download this file. If the T-Mobile 2.26 is still in the single executable type file that it was when you downloaded it, use either winzip or winrar to extract it to it's individual components then extract this file and allow it to replace the file it needs to replace in the folder you extracted the t-mobile ROM to. Then, just double click on the file to start the flash. Just in case, the name of the file you're going to double click on is named ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID. This should solve the invalid vendor error.

[Q] Messed up bootloader on my trophy!

So I have been spying here on xda a few months now since I got my trophy off ebay. There are custom roms here that I wanted to try so I followed guides to RSPL and HSPL. So I HSPL'd my trophy and installed ansars unbranded trophy rom with 1.09 this worked and got my bootloader replaced by 1.09 instead of HSPL.
Then I had problems with the marketplace giving me errors so I had to revert back to my original rom which was DE so I flashed it straight to the phone without HSPL. Now the rom installed fine, only my bootloader now says:
ÇÊÀ-|Eï SS-BC (4K)
SPL-1.9.2250.0(109882)
MicroP(LED) 0x09
TOUCH A19v10,20)
What I believe is that ÇÊÀ-|Eï should say PC40100.
Now I cannot install the stock rom or any other rom, or even hspl as it gives out vender/model id error. I have tried goldcard with the trophy but it gets stuck at "checking".
Can anyone help me?
Willing to donate to the person who can help me.

The only fix I know of for that state is to install a stock bootloader update. You might be able to find one in the CAB list thread on the dev&hacking sub-forum, or you may just need to wait. I've only seen it reported once before, but an official bootloader update fixed it (of course, you'll need to downgrade the bootloader again).
