Hey all
I just did the sim unlock and it work perfectly. Thanks!
But my question is what is this CID? and what does it unlock? What can I do
that to my phone if I run the unlock?
Thanks in advance
CID unlock will unlock the rom,
so you can update your rom with others than the official ones from the network provider you bought the phone from.
I would suggest doing this even if you plan on upgradeing to another rom from your same provider, b/c once you upgrade to a 2.x rom it becomes harder to do... (and once done it is permanent...)
What ROM upgrade would be suggested? I have a T- Mobile MDA primarly using Suncom network. And were would I find suggested ROM upgrade?
Get the 2.26 from the T-Mobile site.
How do you suggest getting the update off the TMobile site if I do not have a TMobile phone number which they request for the download. Is there somewhere else to get it or another way to get it. I also looked on the Suncom site for updates for the I Mate K Jam but there was none.

Hi,
I sucessfully unlocked my t-mobile pocket pc phone edition which i bought in the USA. Back in Holland my BEN (a.k.a. t-mobile) sim didn't work because it doesn't support the 1800 network.
After the unlocking i bought a Vodafone SIM and it works. Thank you xda-developers!
But how do i get a rom update since i am not a t-mobile or O2 customer? Can anyone get me a link?

Just make very sure you never install the RSU (Radio Stack Upgrade) for anything but a 900/1900 phone, or you'll be in trouble...
You can safely install the O2 RUU Rom Upgrade packages to upgrade the PDA part, either normally or through the bootloader.
Just get the update from t-mobile
Just get the update from t-mobile's USA website
All you need is a valid T-mobile subscriber number to punch into their web site.
The entire block of 10-digit numbers 801808xxxx belongs to t-mobile. Try different numbers till you find one that works

Hi
I just bought a Siemens SX56 which locked to AT&T wireless. I want to use this on T-mobile network with Windows Mobile 2003.
I read through several threads trying to figure what is the best way to get to my final state.
I see people discussing about two things "Radio Stack" and ROM.
I could not figure out if the radio stack is provider specific. Did not know if i can just upgrade both with the AT&T ROM.
Here is my current plan. Please help me in making sure that i am not going to end up with a brick.
1. Unlock the devicewith XDA2Unlock
2. Upgrade the device to WM2003 with the Siemens AT&T executable from siemens web site.
3. Put my T-Mobile sim card and use it on t-mobile network.
Would this work ?. What is the best way to get best reception on this PDA with t-mobile ?.
thanks

1. Your device is XDA I ... so the right tool is XDAunlock here www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/ and it will work only if you still have the PPC 2002 ROM on yoru device, other wise you will have to flash your device with the special edition ROM SER1.2 from the forum here as well.
2. The excutable contains both RSU and ROM. If your phone works fine don't touch the RSU. Get a cooked WM2003 ROM from the kitchen here and flash your device ROM only.
3. Try and let's know
Good luck
I'm a bit of a newbie myself, however I've been playing with both a TMobile and an AT&T PPCPE for the last few weeks.
Why are you putting the AT&T ROM on the phone - surely it would be best to put on the TMobile version so that it would have all the internet settings, etc.

Thanks for the reply.
I read somewhere that if my radio version if A33, i will not be able to use the XDAUnlock utility. Is that true. If that is true will i be able to unlock using any other process ?
I will be getting PPCPE this week. I am excited to get it up and running with my existing T-mobile SIM.
thanks
When i got the Cingular 8125, and before I did the ROM Upgrade to 2.17.7.2 WWE, I did the recommended CID Superunlock. As far as I could tell everything went great. Unlocking this phone, to me at least, meant that I would be able to use it on other non-Cingular GSM networks. A little bit ago a friend who is on t-Mobile needed to use my phone to make a phone call. He put his sim card in my phone and gave it a shot. When the phone started i was getting an error message about a network being locked. I do not remember the exzct wording.
Any ideas if this implies that the unlocking procedure i did di not work succesfully? or am I missunderstanding what the unlock procedure is meant to do? Is there another unlock procedure to make this phone usable with other providers other then Cingular?
Thank you
The CID unlock allows the installation of firmware with a different "brand" than your hardware was sold as. It has nothing to do with the GSM SIM. Use the latest version of lokiwiz to SIM-unlock your phone. Do a search for lokiwiz and read up on it.
use Lokwiz to SIM Unlock it. CID unlock allows you to flash other Roms.

Yupe.... I did what 'Kyphur' mentioned to used my Tmobile card in my Cingular 8125. I bought Cingular because I like the 'Square' compare to the round design that vario have.
Hi there,
I already searched for similar problems and haven't found here, that's why I created this thread.
I'm in Japan using a X01ht pre-December 06 and missed to update the ROM shipped by Softbank at the end of last year. Now I need to use data connection and want to get the update but don't want to send my phone to Softbank, so anyone of you could send me the file to update or tell me another method? Another issue, my phone is SIM unlocked by Pof's unlocker but not CID unlocked, because I don't want to void the warranty at the moment. I intend to CID unlock it in the future when moving out of Japan, in this case, if I use SB's uptaded ROM it won't interfere, right?
Cheers,
GG
No need to CID unlock. Check it.
Ok, but where to get the ROM or ExtRom to get my data connection back? tks
I have just bought a 8125 running 1.8.11.1 rom, 11/24/05. This phone is unlocked and I am using my old AT&T sim. If I upgrade to the new 2.25 rom will my phone still work with the AT&T blue sim.
Thanks so much!!!!
followup
Just checked and it is not cid unlocked. How can this be working with my blue sim?
Will the new cingular 2.25 update diasable my phone.
Thanks so much for your input!!!
Cid unlocking unlocks your phone for using custom kitchens. Sim unlocking unlocks your phone to use other providers sim cards. It is best to unlock both. Use lokiwiz. There is a sticky somewhere in the wizard section of xda that will tell you how to do it. Read everything carefully. Any modifications you do, you do at your own risk. Read the wiki, the stickies, etc before customizing. By reading it, you understand the how's and why's.
If my phone is simm unlocked now and I upgrade rom to 2.25 off HTC cingular sight will it still work with my AT&T blue simm?
Thanks!
As I said before...once cid/sim unlocked, always cid/sim unlocked...flashing different roms will not relock the device...BUT it needs to be both cid/sim unlocked if you are flashing from a kitchen. And yes, if it is sim unlocked, ANY sim will work in the device.

As long as you have a SIM it will work...it does not matter if you have blue, red or yellow...
CID unlock will help to install different OS...READ (I mean READ!!!) the wiki and stickies...
thanks so much for your replies. I did upgrade to the htc 2.25 rom and really dont see much difference and yes the sim still works.
Thanks again
