Thanks,

Unlocking 101
Please forgive the newbie question, but could someone explain unlocking to me? I know what SIM unlocking is, but what is CID unlocking and application unlocking??
Thank you!

Even thought this has been covered many times, I will be nice and give you a small run down. Next time just use Google to find you answers
SIM Unlock = Use any carrier's SIM in the device
CID Unlock = Load any carrier ROM on the device.
Application Unlock = Most smart phones only allow you to load applications that have an acceptable digital signature. If you try to edit the registry or load an application it will give you an error. Application Unlocking removes this barrier and allows you to install any application or edit the registry to your liking.
Thank you!

Thank you for clarifying this for me!
Also, so you know, I did do a Google search on this issue. I found thousands of articles that relate to CID Unlocking; however, none of the ones I scanned seemed to explain what it actually meant -- only how to do it or not do it. I'm sure an appropriate article is out there somewhere, but after 10 minutes of searching, I figured questions like these are precisely the reason why support forums such as this one exist. To be honest, there's probably very little information that exists here which hasn't been published *somewhere* already -- if you're willing to search hard enough.
The reason I am mentioning this is that I see many, many posts by the "more experienced" or "more knowledgeable" users criticizing people for posting questions which the more advanced user considers too simple. I feel that's unfortunate as, over the long term, it discourages people from supporting sites such as this one and, in fact, seems contrary to the purpose of this type of forum. Sites such as this one provide an invaluable service, and users such as yourself who take the time to answer questions are an indispensable resource. I would think it would be a good feeling to know that you can offer something that will help someone else!
Thanks again!

Can I have the file that "Application Unlock" the HTC S620 SmartPhone?
Or can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks!
This will Unlock your dash
Just connect through activesync and hit unlock, and your done, takes all of 5 seconds...hope this is what you wanted.
yes... ok... but I don't have the .exe file that unlock the smartphone !
To unlock the phone, it's possible modify any registry keys...
Somebody knows how to do?
can I please get the app unlock
[email protected]
Thx
sorry
I thought i attached the file, I uploaded it and a bunch more apps to ftp all for dash, including some real useful ones like MS voice command 1.6 for sp5, and netcf2 update, and then some themes and utilities...hope that helps.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Excalibur/
Admin edit: File has been removed as it has been reported as a virus.
I also have the aplication unlock but after i have instald the cab file nothing happens and i also can't select anything.
Can you please remove voice command from the ftp site?

Can you explain some of the applications you have uploaded?
For example is the HTCUnlockInstaller.cab an app, sim, or cid unlocker? Does it do the same as the .exe app unlocker?
Thanks!
Did anybody get this to work? I tried it and got the message "SDA Successfully Unlocked" but it still asks for the unlock code when I reboot the phone.
Could someone please help?
Thanks
Does anybody read this board anymore? I've been reading for days trying to unlock the dash but no help so far.
Any help would be appreciated.
What you're trying to do, it seems, is SIM unlock the phone, which the SDA Unlocker won't do. IMEI-Check is the only place to go to right now to SIM unlock, I believe, and they charge $38. That or be a customer with T-Mobile for more than 90 days.

Hi all
My first post as a new MDA PRO owner HTC universal if I am not mistaken.
My question is that I am with Vodafone UK and am tying to flash my device with their latest ROM downloaded from their site.
I keep on getting the following message from the setup program i.e. "ERROR 120 COUNTRY CODE ERROR" 38-38-44-44-44.
What am I doing wrong as I thought these machines were all the same! Or is it just an attempt by Vodafone to stop me from putting their ROM on a Tmobile phone. If it is is there a work around?
Thanks in advance
Brian.
There are 2 ways to get it working.
1. Use MaUpgradeNoID Utility
2. Change some parameters with BAL666's HTC64 Tool
If you search the forum you should normally be able to find a manual for this.
If not, do not hesitate to use the Wiki:
wiki.xda-developers.com
section Universal
Thanks for that much appreciated
As I am new to this I think must be missing something as I have tried using MAUpgradeUT_NoID with no luck. I have also seen on the threads here about MAUpgradeUT_NoID_886 but cant find a download link for it.
If someone could give me a real idiots guide would be most grateful.
All done managed to get my thick head around it.
Just like to say what a great site this is and reminds me of early Psion days.
check buzzdev.net register there and go to the download page.
If you know something about computers, then try to reset the parameters. this was working for me! the NoID.exe doesn't look for these parameters, but that doesn't worked out for me.
Can anyone post a step by step how to on installing the T-Mobile WM6 ROM on the non-branded Euro version of the Excalibur?
I've tried a couple of times following pieces of info, but unsuccessfully.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Second that....keep getting "invalid vendor id" even though it is sim/cid unlocked. Won't even run the bootoader! Help!

sounds to me that the CID unlocking might not have been done properly
let's just say that the ROM/bootloader in question isn't the problem ... YOU SHOULDN'T encounter the "invalid vendor ID" message whatsoever ... because that's what CID unlocking does !!!
As far as I know there is no way to CID unlock the HTC S620 yet. However IMEI check have a work around to get the t-mobile WM6 Rom on there. The instructions are on the forum somewhere but I can't seem to see them right now.

I paid & followed their instructions here and it works straight up:

Ok..I used GSM Liberty to unlock the HTCs620. It is definitely SIM unlocked as I can use any SIM I want to. I have seen the IMEI-check work-around & am hesitant to try it because the work-around includes changing part of the ROM code to read IMEI-Check. Not sure how that would work with a GSM Liberty unlocked phone. Does it matter? Anyone know for sure? Anybody else used GSM Liberty to unlock their phone?

So UnicornKaz, you have a Tmobile Dash then? I'm pretty sure the first post in this thread is talking about the HTC S620, although he uses the word "unbranded" which is weird.

I have the HTC S621 (Rogers Canada ) ... which is the same machine as S620/Dash/Dopod C720W ...etc
They are the same beast ... just market brand in different part of the world.
It came originally locked with Rogers carrier ..etc ... then I went to the above link and paid for the CID/SIM unlocking service .. plus I went on to do the AppZ unlocking myself ... Now I can upgrade/downgrade as I wish ... no problems whatsoever.
...except for the bugs of each indivual OS .. LOL
Non-branded meaning the phone having HTC's logo instead of the carrier's branded logo
mine is also non-branded.

All I can think of is that imei-check have updated their software and now it is a real CID unlock. When I first flashed the WM6 imei check sent those hex editing instructions in an email (your first link) and that worked for me. So people should probably ensure they unlock with IMEI checks latest version and try that second link with the instructions if your phone really is super cid. If you still get invalid vendor then give the first link a try.

I've figured it out. The instructions you are suggesting involve downgrading the bootloader from 1.19 to 1.11. Where as the instructions that imei supplied don't require the downgrade but do involve the hex editing.
I just tried UnicornKaz's suggested technique on a Rodgers HTC-S620 and they worked fine, so that way seems easier to me. It seems when you flash to WM6 it updates the bootlooader to a newer one again which doesnt show the red text on black background at startup.
don't forget to use it again when you do the downgrading to WM5
makes for easier/error free ... to run it everytime !
and keep in mind that after each ROM upgrade/downgrade ... your phone needs to be "app unlocked" again
do you even need to pay imei-check? Perhaps it works withthat boot loader without even needing a cid unlock!!

I'd already did and make sure mine is totally customizable ... perhaps someone else can test that theory of yours ...

Attached is a CAB that will "app unlock" your stock TP2 (custom ROMs generally do not need this).
Primarily it enables RAPI functionalities, like remote registry editing and ROM dumping. Also disabled "not signed" warnings for unsigned apps.
(Yes I know there is many stuff out there to do this. Just thought I'd post it here in the Rhodium forum for those wondering how to do this)
Nice one mate
Dave
Hey thanks man. I am getting all the cabs that I am going to need next month when I get an upgrade with Tmo USA. This will be handy since I will probably not be unlocking or messing with it for a while to make sure I don't lose my warranty. After a few months, I just might get enough courage to play with it a little more. For now, I will only do small changes that I can undo easily in case I have to send it in for service.

Same here...I installed the appunlock cab and then tried to install a commManager cab that has htc wifirouter in the comm manager and it would say I have insufficient permissions to install.
Thank very much
pardon my ignorance, but what exactly would this cab allow me to do? i'm reading ROM dumping but I've always thought of ROM requiring Flashing and the like.
this is great.

Locks:
-- SIM: USE ANY CARRIER's SIM (if hardware supports the frequencies)
-- SECURITY: INSTALL ANY RADIO ROM (Danger Will Robinson!)
-- APPLICATION: Reg Hack to install any software without complaint
-- SID: Don't do it! Use HARD-SPL! Allows any carrier's rom to be flashed
If you call Tmobile and tell them you are travelling out of country, they will SIM unlock you for the asking. Just tell them you'll be using a pre-paid SIM card from the country you'll "be visiting"
To SID unlock (or it's equivalent) so you can flash any rom you like, search for thread 550131 here at XDA (HARD-SPL)
If TMO won't be polite and unlock you, go to thread 555339 and for a small fee you can get unlocked by XDA's own Olipro/Cmonex team's commercial venture This can Security Unlock you so you can install any radio rom as well.
Hope this helps

Use the search option in the top right of the forum screens and look for "Leo 2.5 ROM"....you'll see there's more than just one, and you need to do some serious reading to decide which might be best for you.
yea your right there are so many. which rom is the best in your opinion for tp2?
it would give me a starting point.

No clue...I haven't even flashed the new stock 6.5 on mine yet, let alone anything cooked. That will come in good time, right now I'm still having a blast tweaking a stock 6.1 every which way I can (short of getting an aftermarket ROM)
Asking that question in these forums carries with it a fair chance of getting e-tomatoes thrown at you, proceed at your own risk. Perhaps you'll just be politely advised to read up on the pros/cons of each and decide which sounds like it meets your preferences the best. The search you just did to see all those is done via google, so the results are stacked by frequency of visits...i.e. the ones closer to the top are likely in wider use, and are probably the best place to start
Hi - i have a uk vodafone tattoo (no contract) which i would like to unlock, meaning that i can use a sim from a different country - i understand this means overcoming the net/CID lock?! - apologies but i'm very new to this so not sure if i'm using the right terminology but basically i would like to use my tattoo with a different sim from a different country.
vodafone have given me a code based on my imei but it didn't work - i double checked with them but apparently it's the correct code.
so, what i have done then is - i gained root access and flashed the modaco tattoo custom rom.
the vodafone branding is gone but the network is still unlocked.
is there a way to get it unlocked? would i flash a different rom? can anyone help? i don't have much knowledge and i'm quite new to this.
also i did search the forum and didn't get the answer i needed but if there is a post that explains it - please direct me instead.
many thanks for your help!
a
anyone who can help??
I can only advise to GOOGLE it. Not being sarcastic by any means.....just trying to help
believe it or not i did ask google (not trying to be sarcastic either). and as mentioned i already have a code that vodafone provided via htc, which doesn't work, so i posted here as i thought there might be someone in this forum to help.
if there is anyone with helpful advise - it's much appreciated.
cheers,

Ok then....have you called Orange to request the right code? have you followed the proper protocols for unlocking that phone?
I think you were given the wrong code by Orange.
hm. it's vodafone (not organge) - and yes i requested the code. and double checked with them - they said it's the right code. although i agree it apparently is not - after flashing it allowed me 3 new attempts and i have now entered it 4 times so clearly it must be incorrect.
the option is to send it to vodafone but given it's now rooted and flashed i'd rather figure out a way myself to remove the CID/Netlock - but looks like there is no straight way forward..
Welcome to forums
I would check on ebay or try contact olipro member to buy an unlock code
Don't get in trouble!
Somtimes it is easier spending 15 Eruros and 30 minutes than trying magic.
Just one advice. The process erase the data, so remember to do a NAND BackUp before.
I did it before changing from Vodafone to Simyo.
Now i have got a free Tattoo and also changed the ROM.
If you need a code for this phone.
Please do pm me.
