There's only one way to do an actual CID unlock on a G4, and that's to pay these guys to do it for you http://www.imei-check.co.uk. But, if you just want to flash various ROMS on it, then you don't need to unlock it. Just check out the first thread in this forum and the wiki.

I understand that there is not a free way to CID unlock a G4 device, but the question is, is there a way to just SIM Unlock it so you can use it with a different carrier? I understood CID unlock and SIM unlock is not the same.

That's right, CID and SIM unlocking are different. If you want to SIM unlock your phone, the only option is to pay that same company I mentioned. There is no free way to SIM unlock your phone still.

Yes, the lokiwiz program worked for me to SIM unlock my 8125 G4. I can't remember the details-- I vaguely recall that version 02b worked better than the 03 version. But yes, it works for SIM unlocking a G4.

Just be sure NOT to flash the button rom or any other "FULL" rom that contains IPL/SPL or you will ruin your device. It is not advisable to follow G3 instructions for your G4 device for this reason.
But, then again I am sure you already knew this because you read the wiki and the stickies right
Sim Unlocking a G4 8125
No disrespect to any of the developers here who have done shiploads of brilliant work to unlock the 8125's et al. Sadly though when reading you have to take a geat deal of care and read a lot of stuff to try to figure out what to really do because it would seem there is loads of half truth and uninformed comment being passed off as fact.
Having read 100's of posts here I launched into the SIM unlocking process and found that on my G4 8125 Phone that Lokiwiz version 0.2 threw errors and did not seem to successfully SIM unlock the phone.
So I moved up to LokiWiz 0.3a which contains LokiWizMSL.exe 845,932 Bytes. This package on my G4 Cingular 8125 running 2.25.0001 IPL and SPL, OS 2.25.11.1 and successfully unlocked the phone. When you run Lokiwiz look for the lines:
SIMLock Code is your code... Type it with another SIM in...
--------------------
Lock Status: 0100000000000000
SIMLock Code: 926***** <==== 8 Digit number
Write down the SimLock Code you need this number.
The one confusing thing is that is now totally obvious is that after you run Lokiwiz you need to swap to a SIM card from another provider to enter the code when the phone reboots, in my case I borrowed a workmates U.S. TMobile SIM Card and when the phone booted up it asked for the code that I generated above. Once that is entered your G4 phone is SIM Unlocked.
This part ain't that hard it is nerve wracking for us noobs tho.
Huge thanks to everyone whose work contributed to these tools, next chance I get I have you nominated for God.
Now I'm on to CID unlocking my phone to get WM6 and Touchflo on it. I suspect several more days reading will be required.
Phil
Unlocked Cingular 8125 G4
Thanks for the guidance.
Just installed Lokiwiz03a, ran the batch file, swapped cards, and put in the new code. Everything worked perfectly.
Thank you everyone for the software and tutorials.
YES lokiwiz03a worked flawlessly for my wizard G4 too, Now i have sim unlocked my phone, is CID unlocking same as making the device Super CID?
Easier Than Cutting Warm Butter
actually it is so simple and by the way : HERE IS A HINT:
I DID INSTALL THE ENABLERAPID.CAB AND CERT_SPCS.CAB LOCATED IN THE UTILS INFO.. AFTER I SWICHED THE SIM CARD REBOOT THE PHONE AND RUN THE lokiwiz03a.exe IT GAVE ME THE CODE.. I DIDNT HAD TO SWAP SIMS.. AND WOALA....
IT WORKS EASIER THAN MOST EXPECTED THINGS...
STOP PAYING $40 DOLARS TO UNLOCK THIS THINGS.. THESE IS A VERY NOOB GUIDE..
I AM ATTACHING THE RAPID.CAB
NOW I AM INTO MAKING MY CINGULAR 8125 WM6..
ANYSUGGESTIONS
Congratulations Phil!, I hope you find the way to CID-Unlock ours Cingular 8125.
I'll be readingo this post for future results.

Does anyone know if there has been any new developments on a free method of CID unlocking a G4?
I have tried the methid mentioned earlier, I get my 9 digit number, swap the sim to a locked network, enter the 9 digit number when asked, and it seems to unlock the phone, but as soon as it tried to register on the network I am presented with the network is locked screen again.....Unless I turn the phone to flight mode and then of course it all works fine (except the phone ) any ideas why this might be?
Syngress
This works
I would like to just say how grateful i am to everyone working so hard to make all our G4 wizard users' lifes a little easier. THANKS AGAIN.
Im wondering what I need to do to get the TouchFlo on my G4 Wizard without risking bricking it (i have enough horror stories to not want this to happen). So anyone with advice id very much appreciate it or links on where i can download it.
Thanks

Today, I used Lokiwiz 03a. I ran it and it unlocked my Cingular G4 8125. I am now using it on T-Mobile. I works. Plain and simple.

is anyone from xda-dev working on G4 simlock unlocking?
Is there any BOX ( I saw service boxes for smartphones like JAFWM, it says it can also unlock wizard but I don't know if this info is about G4 wizard)?
I know about IMEI-CHECK. Now I just can't pay for it. I live outside of GB.
Polish PAYPAL really sucks

Lokiwiz will unlock G3 AND G4 wizards.
So...
I've tryed it.
I'm running lokiwiz on good simcard (i have polish orange simlock so Insert Orange PL SIM). It gives me code.
Then Im inserting my card (I have Plus GSM) and phone says "network is locked insert code (or somethink like that, I dont remember it now)
So Im entering unlock code from Lokiwiz. After pressing "Unlock" I see today screen. After 5 seconds it goes back to unlock code screen.
Am I doing something wrong?
IPL: 2.21.001
SPL 2.21.olip
GSM:02.71.11
Simlock: Polish Orange.
I've tryed diffrent ROMS like TNT, NBD , Polish Official wm 5 from orange.
Hard Reset is not working also.
All the time the same problem ;-)
As you see phone has hardSPL
unlock sim card for qtek9000

You have to pay to get the phone carrier unlocked as there isn't a solution at the moment similar to the one created for the HTC Wizard...
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/f600unlock.php
Application unlocking so you can flash the ROM has been covered a couple of times (see response #2)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292936
Good luck
you don't have to pay to cid unlock the phone... search this forum, or spv-dev's forum....
it's easy,
but, so you know, the files will be extracted to the folder specified in the cmd window (not necessarily the same folder were the itsmeutils are)
sim unlock is around too, but i don't have another sim to test it with
I have done cid unlock and it works fine. But, the phone is still sim locked.
Hello,
I tried the TOUCH 3.0, but after it gets to 1% update, the htc reboots and on the pc it says "image is corrupt, please check your updater utility" I have re-downloaded the touch and same thing happens, any help?
Thanks
You are probably going to get flamed for not searching, but I believe that means your phone isn't unlocked. If you haven't used Olipro's unlocker do that then retry the update. His unlocker isn't the same as sim unlocking just in case you didn't know. Good luck to you.
I did do search and I did come up with what you are saying that the phone is not unlocked, but it is unlocked, and I purchased it as an unlock phone, this is why I am stuck. So any help would be much appreciated.
From what I understand and read is that there are two unlocks that your phone needs. Sim unlock which is what your phone has and I believe IMEI unlock which it doesn't. Olipro's unlocker will take care of that. Using the unlocker either way is just a safe bet for making sure everything works well with your device.

you device needs to be cid unlocked not sim. Goto athena thread and dow nload unlocker from there. Use step one to unlock then you will be able to use this rom.
Someone knows any dumb-proof guide to unlock the SIM? on a Qtek A9100 (AKA Wizard) G4...
I've allready tried lokiwiz03a, got the 8 digits SIMLock code but it doesn't work... keeps asking me the code every five secs.
thanks!
funny i had the same problem with my g3. worked perfectly on my new g4 i had to get since i lost my g3.
Follow the tutorial! You are doing something wrong.
I had the same problem with my G4
I haven't got a g4 i have a g3,but i am sure i read somewhere on here that you need to have a sim from a provider that isnt yours in the phone before running lokiwiz on a g4. It was either that or no sim in the phone at all.
Try that, as i said i dont have a g4 ,but i am sure i read it in a post somewhere on here, so i have no idea if it will work or not

you need the foreign sim to enter the unlock code, but not to get the code.
As you know,after we flash to orange rom ,this device will aways ask for the unlock code....
And i contacted vitamise because i think that vitamise had made a keygen for TG01/T01A .
However he replied :
Unfortunately i can not unlock the T01-A as i have the codes for all TG01 and they are imei# specific, i do not use a software to generate the codes

You already can unlock, use a hypersim
How about Mr.sim?
But i think it can unlock by code.
Someone has the all IMEI code of all TG01 device so if they want they can write the tool to calculate the unlock code for T01A
something I know
mr.mike,something I know as follow:
1. nobody so far can unlock t01a by unlock the t01a IMEI. but the orange tg01 can be unlocked by unlock IMEI.
2. X-SIM is a sim card,you can write your mobile sim card number to the X-sim,and then insert the X-sim to your T01A,then you can use the T01A in other country. But ocasionally you will lose you singal very often.
3. I think if we can unlock the phone by unlock the rom?
i tried mr.sim but t01A doesn't recognize sim
Why didn't you flash italian unlocked rom?
you mean the italy rom is unlock?
can you give me the link that I can download it?
No, you cannot get sim-unlocked via ROM.
I supposed you have a DOCOMO sim card.

Hi bird
Here it is
http://www.toshiba-europe.com/mobile/Images/TG01WP_6.5_IT_Update.zip
i think and i remember the flowing (don't take this as 100% sure is just what i remember, i may be wrong) :
you can unlock orange and O2 by code because as i remember European Union has passed a law that operators must unlock phones on customer request and if the user pays for it while phone is still under warranty.
if i remember right i heard that on TV News in same time period it was decided to set limits on roaming costs between EU countries.
so in EU unlock codes works simply because is required by law.
if someone has a TG01 keygen it could work on t01a by flashing a eu(uk,fr,de,it,ro,etc?) rom and entering the proper unlock code. that is if phone is not bricked by flashing eu rom and you can get a valid code.
you cannot unlock phone by just flashing different rom. PERIOD.

Don't waste your time, sim lock is not ROM related!
Whatever ROM you'll flash, your tosh will remain sim locked.

Yes,i know that....
But the problem is up to now we can't find a man who has keygen for creating unlock code...
The salers who i contacted said that they just have the list unlock code for all Tg01 device ,they don't have the keygen...
However,when some one has this list,he can make the keygen ,and tg01 don't limit number of times to enter code.
So i believe that the code for t01a will be obtain in the future...

Are you sure about this?
I sure because locked by docomo are strongly different with orange...
Locked by docomo,we can insert sim and they just have a warning about sim...Although you can't use phone function ,you can use the other function of windows.Now,it look like pda...Locked by docomo ,softbank or the other Japanese telecommunication company,they never offer unlock code and you also don't have any place to insert code...
Locked by orange ,we can see a place to enter code after insert sim...if you can't over come,you can use phone anymore..and you should remove sim card...
Before i flash,i can use this device by using Mr.sim ,now when i put mr.sim ,t01A doesn't recognize

is not true. it is still locked by docomo and if you have a docomo sim you will see it still works.
orange is just a picture on startup. that is because operator logo is overwrite by flashing while sim lock, imei, mac adress are not.
or let me put it that way: is your imei a orange imei ? no is still your original imei and that is because flashing rom dosen't overwrite phone data.

Before flash the UK rom to T01A, my T01A have a docomo ROM,when I power on,I can enter the desktop but there have no signal, the phone always search for signal. Only when I use X-SIM or Hydra SIM the phone can search signal.
But When I flash the UK rom to T01A, when I power on the phone ask me to input the unlock code,If I can not input the unlock code,I can not enter the desktop.
that is all
I think that if we can overcome the enter code screen,we can use the T01A by any sim...
s2k7 said:
It was a great work!
As I recalled my flash of X05HT, I think your sim-lock is due to the UK ROM, or by software.
So if we can modify the UK ROM, the sim-lock screen will go away. Like Da Mafia did http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653566.
We called it NAG SCREEN.

Hi,
I am a long time user but first time poster on this forum. I have had many WM phones and am currently fighting my newly purchased TG01.
I have an unlock code from Vitamise but no matter what I try I can not get the phone to bring up the simunlock screen.
I have tried the original tosh / orange rom and several custom roms. The tosh / orange rom does nothing just shows "searching..." and all the custom roms I have tried tell me they have a problem loading "simunlockp.exe" when I insert my O2 sim. My have an Orange sim which works fine so it isn't a radio problem.
Is there anyway to manually call the simunlock mode? Or am I totally missing something?
Thanks in advance for your help, I have silently solved so many problems with info from this site and this is the first time I am at a loss.

First of all:
as far as I know you can unlock tg01 on original/stock(toshiba) ROMs only!
Yeah I read about that.
It had the original orange / tosh rom when I got it and to be totally sure I reflashed it with the rom from the tosh website. Still no luck, no unlock screen, just "searching..." and "Sim Blocked" displaying on the orange home screen.
i have the exact same problem anyone got a solution PLEASE ! even tried flashing back to the stock rom and says invalid wont flash it ? (from toshiba website)

You have to use SDDL+ to flash the orginal rom back to the phone
Yeah I had that problem too, the file you need is in this forum just search for it.
I am on the original rom but still no luck.
I took the phone into an orange shop today, they had a look and declared it was "weird" that it wasn't showing the unlock screen, I then spent ten minutes on hold to customer services who also decided it was weird and told me the "technical team" will call me back in the next couple of days.
Is there anyway to call the unlock screen manually, or unlock the phone with a code from the dialler like when you use *#06# to display the IMEI?

He also told me he had to stop selling rebel sims as he had way too many complaints from his customers about them not working, he had a some left though and agreed to sell me one real cheap as long as I promise not to return it
I got one for a quid and can confirm it doesn't work, I get all functions but can't receive incoming calls or texts.
Basically I am giving up and will sell this locked phone to buy an unlocked one.

You don't need to spend such an amount of money(30eur): vitamise do the job for 10gbp~11eur, quick&accurate.
P.S.Yes, it is true.
For safety: (on stock toshiba ROM) put a sim not supported by your tg01 and if asks for unlock code everything should be ok for a future unlock by code.
Use vitamise service with no fear, he has best recommendations...
I have unlocked Orange TG01. Vitamise sent me unlock code and everything was OK. I can recommend him. In the beginning I had no idea how to use the unlock code but he told me to try hard reset with locked sim inside. I did it and then I was asked for unlock code...
