This is the new question I want to ask. (13 Aug 4.37pm London)
As mentioned in the Wizzard-wiki, there is no free way to unlock G4.
BUT !!!!! today, I just did an update (look at my signature). First of all flash the Radio and ExtRom. Then use aWizzard, enable Rapi (e),
UNLOCK CID (u) and last write new OS (w).
In the Unlock CID phase, I finally get something like "your device is successfully CID unlocked" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! does this mean that my G4 is unlocked and is it the same as we pay 20 pounds to use IMEI number to lock the CID (as mentioned in wiki)??????????????????????????????
The following is the original post.
I am using a CID locked O2 XDA Mini S. It took me about 6 minute to upgrade to TNT4.0, but after that the device rebooted. And then the old wm5 shows up...... (2.21.4.1)
what's going on here?????????????
Please read the wiki before you ask questions.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Maybe sorry for this naive question.
But I have been reading the wiki many times. Being a foreigner, I don't quite understand many terms and abbreviations in the wiki. After reading the describtion from the TNT 4.0, i know that it is safe to flash it to my O2 MiniS.
But I still don't know why it doesn't work. Here i want to ask 2 questions.
I have read the "how to flash ANY rom to a CID Locked device". 1 question I want to ask is that Any rom includes a rom like TNT4.0, right? I.E. I can flash TNT to my CID locked O2 MiniS, right?
2nd question is that, I noticed that many posts mentioned that they will need an official rom as the base. Where can I find any Official roms for the MiniS. are the following 3 the ONLY OFFICIAL roms for O2 Mini S? I apprecaite any help. Thank you.

You need to use the shell tool to flash to a G4 CID locked device - follow the instructions.

Does that mean that I can flash any rom to use the shell tool, like I can flash TNT4.0 or Faria etc. ?
The answer to EVERY Question and problem you are having is:
Unlock CID your device!
For Crist sake!
You CAN NOOOOOOOOOT put any rom in your device until you have done that, and no matter whatever anyone else says , just do it, and your problems will go away...
Some poeple just dont do what the instructions tell you to do, and then fill the forum with repeated issues...

Man, you scaried me. But there is a post saying that I can flash any rom without CID Unlock, right? Just don't have money to do the cid unlock.
dleeming is right.
According to your signature you have got a G4 model. Follow the instructions in the stickies about upgrade of a G4 model.....

Understand.
I just want to make sure that in theory I can flash to any roms according to thread "how to flash any rom with a cid locked"
As most of these ROM do not incl. IPL/SPL or the radio you may want to check whether your IPL/SPL and radio version work with the respective ROMs first.
If I remember correctly they require 2.x or higher IPL/SPL. But, check for yourself.
BTW what kind of Chinese support you are referring to?
The best I've used for Chinese support is CE-star specially made for WM6 release from the ppda forums. Penpower works like the transcriber for Chinese.
Monster Chinese, I have never gotten to work correctly. You can't uninstall it too.

Thanks mate. Now I've got my new signature. I can show this off to myself now hahahahaha
I forgot the name of the forum, but you can do a search on Leies edition of CE-star.
Idealy, I want to use the English OS system but with full Chinese support. e.g. I can install Chinese software, browse Chinese web-site etc.
But just now, I flashed a Chinese OS system. Quit happy with it now, though maybe later I will try to find a way to fullfill my ideal system above.

If you don't need to enter Chinese characters but just have your Wizard to show them, the easiest way would be to install a cab with the Chinese font set.
The cab is somewhere here on the forum...

Are you sure? I think this thing works similar as PC. Not only we need the font, but the encoding thing (like uni-code or something). Personally, I don't think your suggestion will work. If you find such thread, please do show it to me. It will be highly appreciated
Cheers
I am using it that way. Haven't check Chinese websites but chinese SMS and the menu of the SIM card are shown in HanZi.

If you think you can do it, follow instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680
and dump the rom from your device.
And upload to rapidshare (www.rapidshare.com)
If you could do this, I would be a happy man
And even better, If you have access to a norwegian RUU (rom upgrade utility) for your kaiser (Im not sure, but maybe you can get it from htc e-club. http://member.htc.com/member/login.aspx?fm=eu&ln=en
register if you havnt allready, and see if there is a download
other option is contact support via email and ask for a ruu, cause your device has locked, and you need to flash it back
any of theese would be greatly appreciated
If you look in the windows folder of all Tytn II rom there are some cabs that are installed on a hardreset. One is named configure_key.cab
Could that cab install the country specific keymappings?
sorry posted my answer in wrong thread
Sorry but I only got errors when trying to get the info you wanted.

There isn't RUU for new devices on htc club. Only for upgrade when htc deploy new functionality on the same version of windows mobile (as gps update for P3600 Trinity) or new version of windows mobile.

Hello,
i plan to sell my German Herald on ebay and i´m not sure if i am allowed to do so because it is unlocked via HardSPL. I Want to sell it with HTC´s warranty if possible...
Is there a way to get this undone ?
....want to get a newer HTC device
I´ve found something for Kaiser and Wizard - But no original SPL for my Herald....
Did anybody even try to revert the Herald ?
from what i understand to undo hard spl you must uspl the original ruu...(nbh) with the original spl on it.
So i just need to flash the HTC Rom and thats it ?
I didn´t understand that in the Tutorial - Maybe i should just try that !
Thank you !

This works for the Wing. I assume if you get the Herald ROM it should work as well.

Not if you flashed Hardspl. The rom will go back to the original rom, but the hardspl will not go back to the stock spl. For that you must find your stock spl and use jumpspl to re-lock your phone to the stock spl and rom.

i have since 2 days the new orange french dream. i would like to dump my firmware to help the community ... so if someone know how to do it without loosing my french firmware .....
second issue : there isn't option to sync google calendar and contacts ! Thanks Orange ! This is not a bugg but something wanted by Orange and this is the case on all the orange french dreams... So if someone have an idea ...
EDIT :see post #53 for the begening of the solution
You should install AnyCut and see if you can see a shortcut to those two applications.
thanks but i have tried with bettercut full and there is nothing else than the shortcut to the global sync option....
Sorry, can you clarify what you mean, when you say you have one of the french dreams. Are you refering to the HTC Magic or the HTC Dream, In short, does it have a physical keyboard or only an on screen one? with regard to your sync problem, this sucks, however I am sure that if someone can get the firmware out of your phone it can be modded to rectify this.

Yes, that's what I meant
leaving asside the fact that there seems to be confusion over whether these guys are talking about the dream or the magic can I just ask - assuming this is the Magic is there a way to extract the version of android it has so that it can be modded. I am a complete noob, but assume that there may be elements (like the VK) that can be transfered to JF's next release.
hey this the dream forum so no confusion And of course the dream for Orange is the same than the other for the hardware...
So nobody to help us to dump the firmware and to get contact/calendar sync ?
I tried to downgrade it to a RC7 or RC29 firmware but :
"Main Version is older!
Update Fail !"
So the firmware is protected to downgrades ?
The product code is DREA200.
OK but I am looking for a method without downgrading (i have my dev phone for all those kind of test)
they're talking about htc dream
http://estore.orange.fr/stores/pros...F&pTerminalProdIdWithoutNextState=prod5360002
well I'm french too if you need some help to root your phone ask me.
Since i have a dev phone I can make some test for you .
Since we are in france we should have the same firmware as UK and german users

Yes and the problem is here : to get the firmware we need root and to get root we need to downgrade... and delete the french one
I've read somewhere that the modifications are based on the SDK supplied by the operator, so maybe we need to wait for Orange to give us his SDK ?
@Murphy2715 With Orange i think you can wait a long time before they release there SDK :s
I use Android 1.1 on my HTC polaris and i have the French language so i think you can downgrade be the root and reinstall a custom firmware with the French language

Downgrade seems not possible, read my message #12 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3472857&postcount=12
Do anyone have a DREAIMG.NBH other that RC7 or RC29 ?
That says fastboot and has skateboarding androids (typical of dev phone bootloader). If it indeed ships with fastboot enabled, then it shouldn't be a problem to boot on a modified recovery.img, perform a nandroid backup, etc.
