I searched the site and only saw some people who are using the t-mo MDA rom on the g3 wizards - but I have a cid locked g4 8125. I looked in the t-mo MDA rom and it has a ipl / spl file, but will it brick my phone if I try to flash it? Thanks!
You may use ShellTool which will extract and flash only the OS portion for you.
I read a post in another thread on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325961
That said 'you would brick the phone if you update seperately'.

You will need to CID unlock your device before you can flash the T-Mobile firmware to your 8125. The G4 CID unlock is ready for use I think. I would do a bit of reading to hear all of the trial and error and read the update history and make sure I know what I was getting into before starting. Fortunately, I have a G3 and it is CID unlocked. Unfortunately, It's currently broken and is un-usable...

Firstly what kind of unlock are you talking about. SIM-unlock is possible for G4 and G3. Use Lokiwiz, (search for it)
If you're thinking about CID-unlock, for G4 the only solution is to pay for it. (as far as i know) www.imei-check.co.uk can provide the unlock, but you'll have to pay. Quite a lot, actually.
Downgrading from g4 to g3 is not possible, since it's hardware. That is also the reason you have to be REAL careful. Read a lot before trying to do something you're not sure about. (It's a lesson i learned the hard way.)

ok...I understood what you have said to me...i was talking about operator unlocking...for example, if it is from vodafone spanish, and i want to use it on orange romania, with Lokiwiz I can do it?...cid unlock for what does help?
G3 or G4
i have the qtek s200 in my hand...and the spl is something like this: 1.09.00.01 - it is G4?

As far as I understand your link, they provide only SIM/Network unlock, not the CID-unlock. Or may be one schould write them and ask about it?
No... Those guys at imei-check.com have the solution to unlock CID of G4, but you'll have to pay for it...
EDIT: Hey... This is my 100th Post at this forum!!
If people would read the Wiki, all the answer are in there.
as said before, you can't downgrade a G4 to a G3, its hardware.
the .co.uk website, will unlock all both the sim and the CID for both G3 and G4, however you have to pay for it, you can simunlock a G4 for free, info is in the wiki, a free CID unlock for the G4 is not available (yet, people are working on it)

Just to remind one more time, if your SPL version finishes with 0001 IT IS A HARD HEADED G4 and if it finishes with 0000 IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LOVELY G3.
up
i understood that, but i'm curious if i can make it in english...when does apear for him cid-unlock for free?
You have to wait for free cid-unlock (for ever?)
My opinion is that free G4 cid-unlock will never come.
Because G4 is used since several months and if nothing came so far, thus the chances get lower and lower every day (source: a probability theory)!!
I suggest you take the solution mentioned above and pay for it.
up
ok...but, tell me exactly what does this CID-unlock do? for what i can use it? i just want to change the rom in english...i can't? without that cid-unlock?
alright just a quick check after cid unlock you can flash whatever you want right? even if I just wanted to flash a rom of totally different device it would do it my phone would be bricked afterwards but it would do it right?
I also could downgrade ipl/spl. Does anybody know if the prophet unlocker would work with a wizard bootloader on a prophet?
38 $ is not to much if your phone is bricked I think...^^
i-meicheck is unlock CID or use JAFWM to path CID
can jafwm also unlock cid?
no man. JAFWM can path check CID, not crack CID
Can anyone help me
My SPV M600 is in bootloader with IPL 2.10.0001 and SPL 2.G3
How to update ? how to repair it

Hi all, Just got a an O2 mini S for my wife because she liked mine so much. Unfortunately it is a G4 (mine is a G3) and it has all of these CID unlocking issues. I want to put a WWE Rom on this German G4. Is it correct that if I unlock my phone at http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ I can put any ROM on the G4? Or can I still only put certain ROMs (if so which ones?) on the G4? Thanks for any help.
Dave
yes http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ will cid unlock your phone, making it possible for you to flash your device with all sorts of roms using the normal ruu .exe method.
Alternatively you can use mun's shelltool.
Good Luck
Got it
I used the tutorial here: CID Locked Flashing (MUN's as you suggested), and I was able to flash a WWE Rom. I have to say I was scared I would damage the phone, but MUN's top notch instructions helped a lot.
Thanks for the help!
I'll come straight to my questions:
QUESTION 1) HOW TO CHECK IF A G4 PHONE IS CID UNLOCKED?
QUESTION 2)HOW TO CHANGE IMEI FOR A WIZARD G4 IPL/SPL 2.21.0001
AS I HAVE ALREADY TRIED TO DOWNGRADE MY ROM WITH "CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE" BUT IT GIVES ERROR 300 AFTER 3 STRIP SCREEN
I HAVE TRIED A COUPLE OF ROMS BY FOLLOWING STEPS...
CHANGE ROM BUT IPL/SPL REMAINS 2.*.0001 WHY THE F__K (I WANT TO KNOW)
1) LOKIWIZ02B--- DOING UNLCOK AND THEN CID UNLOCK
2) THEN IWIZARD TO CHANGE THE IMEI PUT IN ANY IMEI BUT IT REMAINS SAME.
PLEASE GUYS ANYONE WHOSE GONE THOUGH THIS SITUATION... HELP ME OUT BY STEPS
I REALLY REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.
1 only try to upgrade your wizard with a non compatible rom example you had a qtek you try to update with a t-mobile rom if it works is a g4 unlocked if not is a locked g4
2.-you need a unlocked g4 or g3 for imei change
3.-lockwiz v.3 works only for g4 search in the wiki lockwiz for g4 prophet charmer and wizard unlock repeat sim unlock
for a cid unlock yo need bought the imei-check.com key file (why htc use the damm g4 doc??)

use iwizard to cha*g* the imei
and upgrade the rom in the end
and i have even paid money to unlcok it from imei-check but that never worked aswell
I am currently running the Cingular 2.25.0001 ipl/spl .. is there a better one out there that would be safe to upgrade to on my 8125 G4?
lol.. No one has any suggestions?! lol .. I see a couple people with 2.26 and 3.08 .. just wondering how those would work with my G4
You've got a WHOLE LOT of reading to do if you're thinking about changing your IPL/SPL on a G4 Wizard.
Good Luck!!
that's what I figured.. I wasnt sure if it was safe to do... or easier to do with my CID unlocked..
This thread would be the perfect place to start.
HA! Thanks newbie.. I guess I will be leaving my IPL/SPL alone .. .. Maybe I will wait for cingular to make an update.. lol.
I have :
O2 XDA mini S G4 CID locked

then you have German OS with IPL/SPL 3.08.0001. Radio 2.69.11
OS can you reflash later.
Question I have is.. What exactly does the IPL/SPL do? lol ..
apparently doesnt let you make calls. every time i try to dial a number, it says your international call cannot be completed as dialed... its useless, i just did it on my g3.

IPL and SPL are your bootloaders.
They initialize and load your OS and radio. different versions have different commands available to them and in some cases a higher number means a better version. In others the higher number means there are security "fixes" that will make it harder for you to flash your phone.
For a Wizard I have seen no reason to update higher than the T-Mobile 2.26. But then again you should only do this if you have a G3. Flashing G3 bootloaders into a G4 device will irrevocably brick it.
I believe (don't quote me on this though) that only official carrier roms (newer than the G4 device) contain both G3 and G4 bootloaders and as such are safe to flash to a G4 device. I would confirm this with your carrier before doing so though.
Hi

I am a french guy, my provider is Ten Mobile.
I already have brick my Wizard before. Thanks to the guarantee, it was repaired.
Just replace Updater by ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.

I have a G4 CID locked phone and IPL/SPL thats older than 2.26 and I see no reason to update them still, considering that I can upgrade everything else (OS, radio, ext rom, splash) without touching IPL/SPL. Of course, I am a little more cautious having bricked (yes, real "replacement required" type brick) my phone once.

You flashed your O2 (G4 and CID locked device) with T-Mobiles ROM?! Sounds crazy to me... Are You sure that your device is CID locked at all? Even G4 device may be CID unlocked, using imei-check - only way this thing have some sense...
Can SPL 2.21.0001 downgrade to 1.06 and smaller?

Hi there. I've searched a lot already, I know you don't like us noobs to ask the same thing 4567890 times. But 've searched.
I have a G4 Cingular 8125. SIM locked to cingular of course... how can I use it with another carrier...
I already even flashed another ROM (XM6r5). Used lokiwiz 0.2b (couldn't find a newer version, but I heard somewhere there's 0.3a... just couldn't find it). But I still get the "network is locked" message at booting up.
Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure you have a G4 phone ? why I ask this is cuz lokiwiz02b doesn't work on a G4 device and SIM/CID unlock it ? only lokiwiz03 MSL works on G4 phone but can only SIM unlock code is generated and still can't CID unlock the phone,infact a G4 device cannot be at all CID unlocked,how did you upgrade to XM6r5 Rom ? plz explain accurately and post the present IPL/SPL ...?
of the phone here.

What exactly you want to do,if you just want to get SIM unlock code,then use lokiwiz03a to generate a SIM unlocking code,but if you want to upgrade it to any latest wm6 rom,use the 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL' method,its not possible to CID unlock a G4 phone.
Download the 'WST Tool' and run the 'CID Action' button to verify the CID locked/unlocked status of your phone.
BTW, whats the present IPL/SPL...? of the phone. As you say you have flashed wizard_love Rom,whats the status of the phone ?
Cheers!
