Please help me RElock CID my Kaiser. I need to return this phone to Warrenty

Phone info in sig
Used KaiserUnlocker (NOT kaiser-supercid - OP claims it doesnt work with hardspl 3.28 nor 3.29).
I can only find a relocker for the superCID unlocker
Can anyone help me relock my CID since I used KaiserUnlocker?

Have you called cust care yet? If not, call and ask for your unlock code because you plan on taking an extended buisness trip to canadialand. Say your company is using Rogers up there and is providing you a phone, but you cannot imagine your life without your tilt.
Then warranty it.

not sure if u looked at the "reverting" thread for this request here

I don't see anything in that thread about reverting CID back to OEM..unless I missed it.

It shouldn't make any difference. ATT is not like Sprint in this matter I believe. They don't care. Just put the original stock ROM on ATT with the Original Radio and it should be ok. Make sure the software is exactly as it is when its NIB (new in box). No customs ROMs or the Super eMo radio.
Thats what I did when I returned mine and nothing happened.
Although I might have been lucky. But in my opinion nothing should happen.
Att is just anal about giving the unlock code.
They don't care if you return in unlocked.
Once again this is my opinion.. Do it at your own risk.

I was saying that you should get the unlock code from them and return the phone unlocked. That way they can't question your phone being unlocked.

I hope this helps

I used the relocker just yesterday. I don't think it matters what you used to unlock it. Just flash a compatable SPL before starting. I too was using SPL 3.29 comex. The instructions were a little tedious.
First: follow the steps to lock only replace file Super CID with relocker.exe in step two. {you must do this before you remove Hard SPL by Olipro, because you have to have hard spl to start the unlocker} This relock your phone. Left to do is remove Hard SPL and flash the correct ROM
Second: flash your OEM SPL because you haven't removed hard SPL you shouldn't need jump spl
Third: Flash your OEM ROM
This should have your good to go. I did deviate from the recommended sequence in that I fould that when I followed the steps in the thread I'd already removed hard spl and it was needed to get relock/unlock to work. PM if you need assistance I will provide you with my IM user name. and we can have a live chat to get you through it.
Fourth: Re

wow
you guys are amazing. thank you all for your replies.
I called them for the unlock code and CID number and the lady said don't worry about it. just to return the phone unlocked and she will make a note on my account.
of course, my account doesnt claim that i called in before that and was issued an unlock code so i dont know how that is going to work. the lady sounded a bit perplexed about my request so i don't know if i should trust her lol
I don't think its a big deal if a phone is unlocked. i wouldn't think it would void warranty. some ppl NEED to travel internationally and they have issues with their AT&T branded phones every day, ya know?

Well let me set the record straight. It's not a big deal. I've RMA returned two Tilts now back to AT&T, the first one I still had an HTC based cooked ROM on it from here (Dutty's Dualtouch v4) and the second had Garmin 4.2, but I reinstalld the AT&T Tilt ROM. But I didn't relock it. Anyways they can't tell, they rewipe it from scratch so the evidence of if it's locked or unlocked goes bye bye. They'd have to try to flash a nonstandard ROM to know for sure. They aren't going to do that obviously

Hello everybody, excuse my poor english, i am french.
I just have installed a cooked rom i will try it for a few days but it's possible that i will want to return back to the original orange Rom. I have the 3.29 hard spl and superCID unlocked (000000000).
Can i just execute the installation of the original rom ? or have i to do something before ? (i have killed a C500 by doing this kind of operation)
Thx for your help and have a nice day.

I've answered to your PM...

Yeah. I returned a Tilt with HardSPL installed and got a refurb back. The coolest part was that the refurb had a 1gb card in it with a bunch of rom flashing stuff on it. I was laughing.
It didn't have HardSPL installed, though. Wonder if someone bricked it.

[Q] HTC's "official" bootloader unlock process

Please please forgive the newb question, but once the bootloader is officially unlocked by HTC's method (basically entering a token you pull from your phone, and then flashing a .bin file they send you based on that token), is it reversible? I.E. is it possible to re-lock it back to factory status? I'm assuming not, but can't find any hard evidence one way or the other...

Apparently someone has said you can re-lock it but I've not used it. Better using Revolutionary IMO

Well you can do a "simple" re-lock just to ensure noone else can make changes to it with "fastboot oem lock" - but it's not the factory lock. The bootloader simply says "re-locked" instead of "unlocked", or compared to the factory "locked".
But I was thinking in terms of reverting it truly back to factory status. Again, I don't think it's possible (without HTC's intervention anyway), given the nature of how it was locked, but need someone smarter than me to confirm that suspicion.

So basically, using Super CID, you can run the RUU.exe from the bootloader only, and get your phone back to 100% stock, but it'll still be unlocked. So I'm guessing there is no way to reverse HTC's unlock process.

I flashed the android revolution rom with my device unlocked through htc website, I cannot flash back to stock, I tried the RUU to bring me back to 1.27 and 1.29 and error'd on both of those. I am not sure how to get back to stock. I tried several times. I also cannot get my security to turn off in the bootloader after I unlocked through htc. Has anyone figured out how to do this? I tried the revoltionary.io tool and successfully used the tool only to reboot and see the S-ON in bootloader mode. CRAZY I suggest for anyone to turn their S-OFF using revolutionary.io before they ever attempt to unlock the bootloader through htc. What I am experiencing is error under the wifi switch I cannot seem to get wifi working with any of the roms, probably due to the kernel or not having s-off in bootloader. I tried different and stock kernels only to have the same problem.

Has ANYBODY tried the goldcard method to reflash to stock? Take the rom.zip from RUU and flash in bootloader

So ive gone back to stock htc orange ROM with the CID ORANG001 and i am now also S-On after being on ARHD, after probelms with the phone in case i need to send it back, so by the looks of what you are saying I am not actually back to factory status? So will HTC be able to tell in the case that i have to send it back fro repair or whatever? If so i also need to know how to re lock and get back to complete factory status!?
EDIT: im pretty sure bootloader was already available on the phone, and my firends incredible s, he is able to access bootloader without doing anything to his phone

Gold card doesn't work, otherwise we could've used it before S-OFF

Where is this CID ORANG001 you are referring to? Do you have a link? And as far as I know you can unlock the bootloader but there is currently no true relock.

Ok thx,
and the answer why its not s-off are explained also on the site ^^
Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.

But suppose I also unlock my htc explorer via this site. And after I want to flash cwm recvry via rom manager. But my device is not listed in its drop down list from wich u have to select ur device before flashin.
What should I do in that case. If I flash somehow. Will mine be brickd or something
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Mhmh, i think the developer will add the Rhyme soon..
I would wait on each case...a brick is not excluded

The problem with unlocking the bootloader via HTC's site is IMHO that it's not only pointless, but you also loose warranty.
It's pointless for 2 reasons:
1. Most custom ROMs for other HTCs require the device to be S-OFF, so chances are low that the bootloader unlocking via HTC will give you any advantage in the future when it comes to installing custom ROMs.
2. If there will be any custom ROMs from the devs in the future, there surely will be a way to unlock/S-Off/root the device available before these custom ROMs will appear. This way will most likely be revertable, and you won't loose warranty.

There should be a Rhyme forum!

....so we need to vote to get one...

I dont have this device, but i would be more than happy to do some for this device.
But without the device the stuff would be pointless

[Q] Sending Sensation back for repair - Warranty Q

So my Sensation was S-Off and rooted however it started to play up so went back to S-On and Un-rooted, HBOOT now reads ****Locked**** and S-On. Is this all I need to do, does something more need to be done, will they be able to tell? They said on the phone if warranty is voided then I must incur the cost of fixing it..
Id really appreciate your help guys.

If its fully stock with s-off and stock recovery your good to go

Ok thanks, how do I know if I have stock recovery?

Hi, i am sending mine back tomorrow as well.
Do I have to put it back to S-ON? I've heard its risky.

Best to, and it's not risky if you follow the guide to a T
Make sure you've set the CID back to what it should be before doing it (assuming you changed it in the first place)

Hey, it looks like mine's going back as well.
I'm a little unsure of which version HTC rom was default on it because I bought it from Pixmania and not a carrier.
It originally had Vodafone branding and the box is written in German.
I don't think I've changed off of the original kernel or radio as I've only switched roms through ROM Manager since I rooted the phone using these instructions.

I too am wondering the same thing, but my problem is slightly different. My phone wont even power on so i was unable to s-on factory rom it, im unsure of what exactly needs to be replaced on the phone so idk if theyre gonna be able to see that the software has been changed.

Hi again,
I found my CID: VODAP102, it's for Vodafone Germany.
Where can I find the matching stock ROM?
Thanks,
ANKh

Yes it did, HTC UK repaired the phone and converted it to a stock HTC UK phone without any German or Vodafone stuff on it anymore.
They didn't charge me anything for it.

I've send my desire s back to HTC caus of some probs with my battery.. it was rooted and s-off.. when I get it back it was s-on and unrooted.. I've paid for nothing..

Hi all...
My friend has softbricked his K2_UL, it has CID VodaP102.
It doesn't have unlocked bootloader, neither S-Off, so he can't change CID, so where can it be downloaded??
Best regards

Hi.
I'll have a look but I don't think there is any. Which country is the phone from ?
How did the "softbrick" happen since it's neither unlocked or S-OFF ?
Did it use to be unlocked ? Is there a custom recovery installed ?
What are the symptoms ?

The phone is from Vodafone germany
I have no idea how he bricked it, but no it has never been unlocked, neither S-OFF, and does not have a custom recovery
It only boots to fastboot mode

First you can try a factory reset from downloader/fastboot.
If that doesn't work ask for more details on how it stopped working and if he really really wasn't doing anything with it when it stopped working. That seems really odd.
If it really is the case he can bring it back to vodaphone since it's under warranty.

If the phone really is S-On and was never unlocked, this is the first way to go!
