G4 Prophet CID unlock through www.imei-check.co.uk ?

Hi, guys, has anyone tried to do the SIM unlock AND CID unlock with your prophet through http://www.imei-check.co.uk/?
Some guys from wizard forum did unlock from that website. And I just got confirmed by an email from http://www.imei-check.co.uk/, read as following,
------------------

Since my device is a G4, and it is impossible to unlock it by any other free solutions. So, I am wondering if I should give it a try with this website?
Actually, I have no problem upgrading to other ROM (like the recent QTEK WWE) with no-vendor ID RUU. But every time when I wanted to try a new ROM, I was kind of nervous and was afriad to brick my phone. CID unlock will certainly ease my mind and give me advantages and brave to try more ROMs.

I am sure a free solution for this is on its way and won't take long.

I can use my prophet with different operators. This means that my pda' s sim is unlocked! How can i know that my pda's CID is unlocked?

If you have a G4 (ipl ending with .0001) then it's not unlocked. (sim lock is not cid lock as you probably already figured hehe )
If you have a G3 however it's probably not unlocked too, but you have check the wiki how to unlock it. Maybe there is some infor there too how to check if it's unlocked yes or no? Since I have a G4 I don't know that
Back on topic, I dunno if it's worth the money to CID unlock a phone there. It could be handy if you do a lot of upgrading and want to downgrade or anything.
But as said, people are already busy with a free solution to CID unlock a G4, cause if they can do it we should be able to get around it too

It writes IPL 2.09
SPL 2.09.0000
GSM 02.07.20
OS 2.9.4.30
ıs it G4 or G3?

I guess you are right. But do you know if people are still working on G4 unlocking? It's been a long time. I thought they have given up already.

Well, I have absolutely no idea to be honest But I just assume they do since it's pretty important with all the rom upgrading going around.
It would be perfect if you upgrade with a not so good rom etc and I guess developers of homecooked roms would like it too.

Actually, I have no problem upgrading to other ROM (like the recent QTEK WWE) with no-vendor ID RUU.

Could you give some more info on how to do that or post a link? I have a G4 Prohphet and couldn't upgrade to QTEK WWE ROM. Thanks!

The protocol was proposed by Looking Glass, so, all the credits should go to him. I modified a little bit based on his procedure as following,
- Decompress and run the exe file (RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe). Don't close your grey installing window.
- Locate the just created temporary directory, something like:
C:\Documents and settings\username\local settings\temp\rarXX , or pftxx or the like (look by time/date, it's, something created one minute before your current time)
- Copy the full directory and contents to somewhere else in your PC.
- Close the still opened grey window
- get ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe from the forum, and copy to the directory you just moved to your pc (You can get it from the ftp). Copy the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe to your "new" directory, replace the original ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
- from this "new" directory you copied in your PC, execute ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe
That's it. Simple and easy.

Cid Unlocking

HELLO,
I have read many forums on how to unlock the CID, but I am confused. I have read that it has not been done with the Universal, then I read a sticky that has the RUU and says it "bypasses" the CID. Well the biggets problem is that there are no instruccions on it.
Could someone please help me?
Is this why I enter where people offer roms, and have one for each variant? no CID unbloking required?
Please help! I want to start flashing, but I want to be sure of what I am doing.
One more thing, what is the RUU?
Thanks!

Read the WIKI
Eelco

the sim-unlocker by Buzz_Lightyear also unlocks you're CID
Olipro made an RUU that doesnt check CID
For these two reasons you dont need to make rom's for each brand of universal, however i know of at least one cook who does.

Download the CID unlocking tools from the FTP site http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site

Hello! Please, may you tell me where I can download it?
Thanks!
EDIT:
Is it this ftp://xda:[email protected]/Universal/Tools_and_Programs/HTC_Uni_SIM_Unlock_v1.rar ?

Thanks!
Well I did read wiki, but there is nothing clear on it. I will keep studying them.
My SIM is unlocked anyways, does that automaticaly give me the go?

Nope, SIM and CID unlocking are completely different. A SIM Lock makes sure you cant use different vendor's SIMs on your cell phone. The CID Lock makes sure that you cant use different OS on your PDA. Like, if you've got a T-Mobile OS installed that is CID Locked, trying to install O2's WM6 will mess up your PDA!

SIM Unlock necessary for cooked ROMS?

I hate to create a new thread about this... but I read over the wiki a couple of times and I still wasn't clear about this.
I am getting an AT&T Fuze soon and I plan to flash it with the latest ROMeOS.
What steps do I need to take before I can do this? Do I just need to get Hard-SPL? Or do I need to do a SIM unlock also?
Also... does installing Hard-SPL CID unlock the phone?
Thanks in advance.
Oh by the way this forum is great! I really appreciate all the hard work you guys do to make these cooked ROMs and other tools. Cheers.

All of the questions you've asked have already been extensively covered, so this thread will most likely/hopefully be closed and deleted by the mods. But in a nutshell, to flash to a cooked ROM, you need to: 1) Flash Hard-SPL (prevents you from bricking your phone while flashing); 2) CID unlock your phone (this allows you to flash to any ROM; installing Hard-SPL doesn't CID unlock your phone). If you're just trying to change your ROM and not use the Fuze with a non-AT&T carrier, you don't need to SIM unlock.
Please take time to read the stickies, if you haven't already.

Dramacydle actually you are wrong.
You need just to flash HardSPL before flashing any TP-compatible ROM.
HardSPL and instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
HardSPL will not SIM-unlock your device

Yes the questions in this thread have been covered MANY times however if somebody is going to make a statement please make sure your facts are accurate
Questions answered.
Regards.

Sorry about that. I based my CID unlocking comment off of this link in the wiki:

French X7510 into ENGLISH TOTALLY

Hi guys I have htc X7510 with French WM6.1, I wanna switch it into English one, kindly give me hands to do it.

If your X7510 is already CID unlocked simply download one of Michys ROMs and install it.
If it is not unlocked, use cmonex way to change SPL, see "sticky" threads.
Dieter

Thank you for reply but; What do you mean by ......
1- CID LOCK OR UNLOCK?
2- What are the steps for doing what did you suggest?
3- Where I can find the tow ROMs that you mentioned?

First: YOU DON'T NEED TO SHOUT AROUND I can do louder
2nd: For unlocking: did you have a look into the Wiki ?
3rd: did you read cmonex post at the top of the X7510 page ?
4th: the ROMS are from Michyprima, did you find them ?
When done the steps above you may come back
Dieter

Dear Dieter
First I'm sorry for misunderstanding, but actually I have vision problem with the small font,so forgive me for that.
2- My knowledge in this field is almost zero; so I need step by step gaudiness.
3- I'll try to find what did you described later.
Last, thank you again and have a nice time.

Dear dottore,,the community will forgive you
But - to give you any step by step advise, we need to know whether your device is already unlocked or not !
It may even help to know whether you have a branded device or bought it directly from HTC.
Regards

Ok sorry to jump the thread, but since i have a similar thing going on ( German to English), i try to straight this out..
My Phone is unlocked, not any Branding, nothing, just in German ( got it as a gift from a friend)
So i gonna take one of this Rom´s ( for example the new Win 6.5 ), follow the instructions as seen at several Threads and that´s it?
That would be almost to easy?!

You must make sure it is CID unlocked- not just SIM unlocked.
If in doubt, follow the instructions for installing HardSPL in the sticky thread at the top of this forum.
Once thats done, you can then install any ROM you want Make sure it is specifiucally for the X7510 though. X7500 ROMs won't work.
Don't bother with the WM6.5 ROMs yet- they simply don't work well enough for everyday use, but the WM6.1 ROMs are good.

Ok, Thanks for the Information..
Gonna read a bit more, and will also figure our what that
CID lock is about
I just have to find the time to flash the Phone and start reading .

ZongaBr, please, the opposite. First read and then flash your device. Other way you are gonna end up with a brick in your hand. But you already know it.
CID lock is a feature of SPL imposed by HTC and other phone producers, to make sure that the device produced for eg. for T-Mobile, with a specific ROM will not accept any other ROM made for, let's say O2. If your device is still CID locked and you try to flash it with any rom not aimed for this device, then you can have a brick after that or in best, it just refuses to be flashed, depending how advanced the flasher is.
But if you use this CID unlock procedure made by cmonx (from first sticky here) you will prepare your device to any ROM you wish providing that it is for X7510.

You can be sure i am going to read as much as i can ,and not before i understand how to do it the right way i will not try to do anything stupid!
I am new to Phone flashing, and changing ROM´s ect.
But i did work with other hardware like Game console, DVD, Sat rec.. and VoiP devices as well, and changed firmware, unlock and whatever.
I will report back, or even ask more questions in my Own Thread as soon i have the time to read me into this.
Thanks again

I would also like to HARD SPL these phones can anyone help us here
Model:MAPL130
Provider: Telecom NZ

You need to use QMAT to generate a Goldcard onto a MicroSD. You can then use the MicroSD card to bring the lock level to 0 and Flash the phone via Bootloader to the TMO Dash3G ROM and App unlock it from there to run JumpSPL. No time to write it up write now but thats how to do it.

cool ill give it a shot, ill post results later

I have a HTC Snap from Telstra that has WM6.5 so it had SPL 1.24 on it.
After searching around for a way to remove some of the application security that was enforced on the phone i thought id give this a shot.
Google for "unlock-the-security-on-the-samsung-jack" and you should see a link from 1800pocketpc.
Use the clearsecurity.cab that you get from that link and run it on the phone and everything is unlocked.
After installing you can uninstall as battery gets drained very quickly.
You can then use hardspl 1.19 and it works with no issues
Will try a custom rom later as its a company phone and i need to be able to enrol it and use Telstra APN's
Hope this helps someone

Thanks in advance!
Edit: Just found it and attaching it here. It worked like a charm! No need for SCM tool at all. Now finally I can edit policies regvalues as I want, SDA Unlock does not through "unlockable" error, checklock now says it is unlocked... life is good
