maybe if you find an older rom for you device i only have a wizard.take a look at the lokiwiz tread i belive tha someone mentioned the HTC Prophets.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] onesolo:
Bet I will!!

For the record, your Jamin's rom is the same that was available to download some weeks ago with the Aku2??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
let me know how you get on.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
it may be possible,if you have an old custom rom for your device ,found this;

On the one hand, HTC Prophet is a complete copy (both software and hardware are meant) of HTC Wizard. On the other hand, it's equal to HTC Magician in appearance. That is why today review will be quite short, we will only discuss external elements and a new camera, all other aspects were highlighted in the review of HTC Wizard.

Hi Faria, thank you for your HowTo!

Now i know the wizard remains CID unlocked after the upgrade and that's good. I only hope that it stays SIM unlocked too.

Sadly, cant move back to older rom... keep getting error message saying the nk.nbf file is not valid/older than your current file.

I guess we just have to wait for an updated version of Lockiwiz

Hello, could you please tell me what is changed in the custom ROM???

I am willing to do the same thing for the prophet.

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
nothing except i did not post the link to the rom by mistake,did you use an old i-mate rom to downgrade? do not it will not work, use the one in the above link.thats the only one that it will work that a know for sure.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] andrew_sh:
You mean to use the wizard rom on the prophet?

Won't that overwrite the bootloader with the one for the wizard???
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] faria:
haaa you have the prophet

dont do that it may turn the prophet into a brick the only way is to find an old custom rom for your device. take a look at the ftp site it may have one there.

sorry

mm..i am currently using T-mobile MDA Vario with the original rom

i just use the lokiwiz 2b to unlock the CID, after it, even i upgrade to the newest rom e.g. the new O2 rom, my CID still remain unlock?

HELLPPP PLEASEE!!!

I tried to downgrade my phone...and it got stuck in the splash screen. Not even a soft reset would get it unstuck. So i pulled the battery and I saw a flash. I think i bricked it!!!! I've had this phone for 35 days...I hope Cingular will replace it. any advice??? I hope I shorted my phone so they won't seee I tried to install a different ROM.

How can I tell if i shorted it or the battery is shot for the reason it is not even turning on or that plugging it in does nothing.

Those wanting to do this....DON'T if its not necessary.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] fishfood35:
FYI

I "HAD" the Cingular 8125 until I did this. I had the 2.25 version and like the others couldn't get the ROM to install. So i remember looking around the forums and saw a post by machinagod:

Two things:

I've said it 2 times already, this is the last.

The only part of the ROM upgrade that is protected against downgrade is the SPL and the IPL. The rest is unprotected. A specially cooked rom should do it...

2nd:

The ROM updater I attach to this message should work with the cooked roms.

So I downloaded the utility and put in the folder where I extracted the cooked ROM, and it "installed" this time without an error message. But then it got stuck in the splash screen or at least it seemed stuck and then i pulled out the battery which killed it.

So for those daring, who can't get the cooked ROM on their Wizard and get the error message, use the Utility and hopefully it will work for you.

I bricked mine...maybe b/c i didn't wait long enough for the splash screen to disappear and ripped out the battery....who knows...

Question:

How can I tell if my phone is CID\SIM Unlocked?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bdbx18:
Faria, thanks a bunch !!

This is the only one that works for my new 2.25 Cingular 8125.

I tried just restoring my 2.17 SPB backup on the new phone - most things work but some things are broken, like my BT

I tried Summiter's option 2 - nothing replaced

I tried the extract method with nb2nbf, again not touching the bl - nothing replaced

I was leery of trying the downgrade in fears of a brick from the mis-matched IPL/SPL versions as some members have posted.

But the mismatch IPL/SPL didn't stop mine from booting up whatsoever.

Actually the downgrade, unlock and upgrade took less time.

Again, thanks a bunch.

Another G4 horror story... Sorry you didn't read all the posts and threads regarding this! The .0001 is the giveaway. To my knowledge there's no "unbricking" this.... and it's gonna be REALLY hard to explain button's Beer splash to the warranty department.

Sorry if I sound callous...

hica....you should have read my post. I'm pretty sure I accidentally shorted my device which is a very good thing. Well cingular already shipped me my replacement...I guess I'll just have to see whether it goes through.

If I could give you any advice, hica, try to short it somehow....I know this sounds bad but I think that is your only chance of getting a replacement.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] the-equinoxe:
maybe other solution??

Is it possible to strip:

downgrade rom from all the parts EXCEPT IPL and SPL.

And then use it to CID unlock a G3 wizard using lokiwiz2a?

After this you can easily re-upgrade your IPL & SPL by stripping the original rom you were using before CID unlock.

That way you wouldn't mess arround with the OS part and don't need to restore all programs and settings..

(they will be lost when you upgrade the OS nevertheless..)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] MacGuy2006:
O.K., here is my experience with this:

Tried to downgrade a new Cingular 8125 (G3) with tp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Qtek/CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe.

The update took about 30 minutes to get from 98% to 100% and it ended fine on the PC. But when I went to the 8125, it was stuck at 98% and it would move. Removing the battery and hard resets resulted in a nice rainbow screen:-(

Finally, downloaded the moded Cingular ROM from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=62383 (thanks Dr Puttingham!) and was able to update the ROM.

I am not touching the downgrade again:-) Very happy with Dr Puttingham's ROM though, updated with a few tweaks.

Hi,

I also purchased an Orange SPV M3000 (SPL/IPL 2.16.0001) in Switzerland, but had no luck with upgrading the device. I could disable the SIMlock with lokiwiz03a, but still the phone won't allow any ROM upgrades.

Anyone any ideas?

will this unlock my 8125?

hi faria and others, I was looking for a solution to unlock my 8125 (so that it can work with other carriers also) when I stumbled upon this website. I must say I am really impressed by it. Before I get down to unlocking my 8125 I would really appriciate if someone can reply to my following questions. thanks a bunch in advance.

- I noticed two kinds of "unlock" being mentioned here - SIM unlock and CID unlock - what are they. Which one enables switching carriers?

- I got my 8125 in march 2006 and has following version/details. Will this solution work? I noticed few versions of lockwiz being discussed here. which one is best for me?

- any possiblity of my phone getting messed up? whats the worst case scenario? how can I restore it back to prev state?

People have not had good luck with unlocking the G4's. Your phone is a G4 since your IPL/SPL is X.XX.XXXX rather than the G3 format of X.XX.

I figured I would give you guys the news on how my flashing went. I have a T-Mobile MDA that came with the 1.16 IPL/SPL, but I didn't realize that I could unlock it until after I had updated it to the 2.26 IPL/SPL. I used the Custom ROM to downgrade, but after rebooting, my IPL had changed to the 1.03 but my SPL stayed at 2.26 from the old T-Mobile Firmware. Well, I decided to go ahead and run the lokiwiz 2.0b program anyway and it was able to unlock both my SIM and CID even though the SPL was still labeled as 2.26. I just upgraded to Molski's latest OS and everything is running smooth. I can now flash between any firmware I want and now both IPL and SPL correctly change. Kind of interesting that the SPL didn't seem to matter. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lkmda:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] yaboc:
didn't really need to have my phone CID unlocked (g3 2.25 CID locked) since i was using ROMs without SPL/IPL but went ahead and just did it for peace of mind :). worked like a charm. thank you very much OP.

Mine just sits at 99% on the PC and 98% on the device.

:(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mcnutty:
@ lkmda - I followed the instructions from this topic and used that firmware to downgrade. You hook up the phone through ActiveSync and execute the downgrade firmware installer. This will set your phone to the unlockable version, then run the unlocking utilities, and your phone will be unlocked. Then run the upgrade firmware installer for whatever you want to use and you are set to go.

NOTE: Your phone is a G4 and probably will not work the same as mine since I have a G3. There is a very big difference in the way these devices are unlocked.

@ soopahfly - The 98-99% section is verifying the image that was copied to your device. It checks against the image on your computer to the image on the device. This is there to prevent you from bricking your phone. The process can take up to 5 minutes, so don't be impatient, just let it be for a while.

UK O2 xda Mini S already unlocked

Just got my (3rd) replacement mini S /Wizard today from O2. They keep turning into bricks - even before I do any fancy xda-developers stuf.

Catching up on this thread, thought I would try my Spanish PAYG Amena SIM, which I hadn't before as I thought phone was locked.

And it worked....

Currently in UK, it found the Orange network, connected fine to Spanish Customer Services, (tho was Orange? Maybe Amena now owned by Orange while I've been out of Spain?) Out of credit right now & haven't worked out H2 recharge Amena in UK, so not tested anything else.

Anyway, hopefully saved me a bit of work! :-) So, try it first!

Now, has anyone found any dual SIM solutions for the Wiz? Point me to a thread please if I've missed it. Thanks.

CID Unlocking: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Guys,

Just wanted to share with everybody my CID unlocking experience. The device is T-Mo USA MDA, already SIM-unlocked and was running T-Mo's 2.26 ROM when I was doing the CID-unlcok (I, like others here, updated to 2.26 before learning that it would have been better to CID-unlock first).

I used Dr. P's process: 1. Downgrade; 2. CID-unlock using lockiwiz; 3. Downgrade once more to align IPL's and SPL's version numbers; 4. Upgrade to T-Mo's 2.26; and 5. Upgrade to a custom cooked ROM (I upgraded to Risidoro's).

So, the Good part first: in the end, it all worked: I do have an unlocked device (or so it seems:) ) and Risidoro's ROM works fine. Now, the Bad part - that almost ended Ugly: while I was doing step 3, my PC crashed with a pretty bad error code and stated that it's quite possibly not going to recover from that. The PC and the MDA were showing a 16% progress at that time, and it was quite scary: it looked like I might lose both the PC and the MDA. The story has a happy ending though: I rebooted the PC and it came back to life. The MDA remained frozen; however, once I removed it from the cradle & re-set, it returned to the bootloader screen and I was able to re-start the second downgrade - which completed successfully. The rest of the process was uneventful.

I suspect the crash was due to running the same RUU twice on the same PC albeit I can't be sure of course. Advise: It might be a good idea to restart the PC after every run of an RUU - I did do it for the rest of the process, and plan to continue doing it if/when upgrading again.

Dr. P., in case you're reading this: You've used this process many times; have you had a similar experience?

allright, thanks for the update!

maybe I still don't udnerstand everything. But when I read the updated howto I didn't see anything about needing to downgrade and CID unlock twice in a row, is this neccesary or not?

On the other hand in your howto I read that I nee to upgrade to the latest tmobile rom before flashing molski's, is that right? In the other faqs (craptree and doc P for example), I didn't read anything about needing to upgrade before flashing a custom ROM.

please people help me out, every time I think I know all to unlock my tmobile vario G3 2.21 I read something new and hesitate.

Faria and DR. P

I have a cingular 8125 with ipl/spl 2.25. So I thought i will unlock it and see if i can use my at&t wireless sim card. I tried to unlock using lokiwiz3. It did not work. SO then i read through the forums and decided that i have to downgrade the rom and then try to unlock using faria's lokiwiz2b. SO Then i downgraded the rom and tried to unlock using lokiwiz 2b.- Still did not work.

I do not know what i am doing wrong. But yet, i found one thing that i missed a step, that says "

.do not forget to copy the cab file(enable rapi) to your device and run it before running lokiwiz.

"

So now i am not sure if the enable rapi file needs to be on the phone or the computer. If it needs to be on the phone- how and where do i ned to have the file at?

Where do i need to put the enable rapi on the phone and how do i do that( activesync?) and how do i run the enable rapi on the phone and the PC, looks like they are not executable's or batch files. Enable rapi is just a rar/cab file.

I am sorry that i am asking so many question...Just dont want my device to turn in to a BRICK

Is there a place where the steps are listed in detail in the forums??
