i got cr96 6.5 rom installed and i ran lokiwiz03a and got the sim unlock code . ok so i put my tmobile sim in and it never asks for the unlock code it just acts like its constantly searching for network . what do i need to do ? i was gonna flash back to stock rom but idk where to find it and im scared of bricking the g4
Mine is doing the same. Anyone know the solution?
Ok, I figured it out. I had cid unlocked and then upgraded to cr96. So I ended up flashing the rom to the official windows mobile rom and then running lokiwiz. Lokiwiz provided the sim unlock code and then I entered it into the phone while still running the official rom. I then flashed the cr96 and everything was unlocked. So basically:
1 flash original windows mobile rom
2 run lokiwiz and click sim unlock
3 write down the number it gives you
4 turn phone on with a non official sim in it
5 the phone will tell you the phone is locked and give you a place where you can enter the code that lokiwiz came up with
6 enter the code
7 flash to whatever rom you want
the above assumes you are already cid unlocked

When you unlock the phone, what gets unlocked ? The phone or your sim card ? Here is my real problem:
I originally had the XDA 1 from T-Mobile, bought an XDAII on Ebay, was told it was unlocked, but it was not. Ran the xda2unlock program from your website, it unlocked the phone so I could use the phone itself with my old SIM card from T-Mobile. Now I see there is a new ROM from O2, the question is, if I run that, will the unit be locked once again, and since the Radio verison on the new ROM is 1.17, and the xda2unlock only works on 1.10 radio stack (as said on the download site here) will I then be stuck with a phone with a new ROM that is once again locked - that I won't be able to unlock ? I don't want to try this unless I am fairly certain it is a safe thing to do... :? :? :?
it wont re-lock the phone if you upgrade
When you unlock the phone, what gets unlocked?
Where is the information stored that determines if a phone is unlocked or locked then ? If it's on the SIM card itself, then I could see that a phone upgrade wouldn't (shouldn't) have any effect. If it's on the phone, wouldn't that lock/unlock information be overwritten when the phone's ROM is upgraded? :?
re-locked
Nope, I unlocked my XDAII then upgraded the ROM to the latest and nope it didn't relock it stayed unlocked!

It's not on the sim card
lock information is found in the bootloader of the device, so it wil be not affected due a normal firmware upgrade
so if I replace the boot loader of the device then will it unlock the locked phone.
Im trying to unlock my cingular 8125 and I launched the lokiwiz bat file and it does everything and then the phone restarts so i thought it was successful but when i put my t mobile sim in the phone says sim lock now im stuck it turns on normal and im using vista it says something about wizardunlock.exe is not found error

Are you trying to SIM or CID unlock?
SIM unlock G4 can only be done via calculated code, not direct unlock
cheers

It depends on the version of the phone,if its G3 lokiwiz02b will work,but if a G4,then lokiwiz03a will only work and generate a unlocking code.
Secondly,perhaps you are not performing the method correct,probably missing to complete some essential step. Read and do the method correct.
Try to use WinXP,its much easier and trouble free.
Just wondering if this means that my HD2 is unlocked. Also, is there anyway to check to see if it is without trying another sim card? Thanks
SPL & a Custom ROM will not SIM unlock your phone...if you bought the phone from from the carrier call them to get the unlock code or buy one online if you need SIM unlock.
So I installed a custom rom on my phone after unlocking BL and all that a while ago.
I recently got the unlock code from my service provider and was trying to sim unlock the L9. I get an error saying I have an invalid code (which it isn't). A quick google told me that custom roms sometimes won't let you use unlock codes.
I tried using the guide from @cmahendra to reset back to the original kdz/ROM for the phone but it stops at 15% and says phone not connected (even through all the drivers install/are installed correctly).
Does anyone know best way to unlock the phone with the unlock pin provided? Or at least how to reset it back to normal?
yeah, it uses the device unlock app.no it says i'm not eligible for unlock.the seller who sold it to me even requested tmo and was denied.tried rooting and messing with system files now it says can't connect to remote server even after reflashing stock using LGUP.Tried using the f600l rom port, no you can't get the sim unlock prompt to pop up.tried blisspop and resurrection roms, they do prompt for a sim code but the codes do not work it says 255 retries remaining<<<something not right there.I do have the right unlock codes, just get them from an unlocking site or ebay.Speaking of unlocking sites, they want 60usd+ to unlock the tmo variant WTF!! Also if you try to get into the sim unlock menu using stock rom (dial 2945#*901#) it just says device permanently locked for everything.Now if there was a way to get a stock rom or port from say at&t variant which has the sim unlock prompt it just might work.
The closest i've got to unlocking this thing i the actual network unlock screen that comes after you flash the stock firmwire through LGUP. it said 0/30 attempts or something for a brief second or two the first boot after reflashing and then it restarts before you can even do anything into os never to be seen again unless you reflash it again but again you will only see it for a second and its gone again.I wonder if there is a way to keep that screen on so you can attempt to unlock it via code.
Also I'm pretty sure the device unlock app is just there to check prerequisites of your t mo account.In reality it does unlock the same way as other phones.probably just applies unlock code from tmo database once it checks you've met the criteria for unlock.
t-mo has really locked these down .
So has anyone been able to successfully unlock this phone without the tmo app? or have a cheaper service to unlock this thing ? Else im stuck with a paperweight.
