Unlock Herald?

Is there any way to CID/SIM unlock a herald?
It depends on where you go i from first. Most people I know have the straight from the factory herald. as far as I know thats all you can get at this point. If no carrier has officially launched it yet(seen a lot of prospecting but I can't remember seeing one on the carrier sites) then there is no need to unlock it, its already unlocked.
sorry to bring the subject up but i'm going to buy a htc in spain where it should be cid locked. Is there any way to put pof wwe rom?
thanks in advance

The new XDA terra from O2 germany will be SIM locked - i guess. How can I unlock. Just like a wizard with awizard?

how to know if my artemis is CID locked or not ?

I bought it in a computer center and separately choosed an operator (Bouyguestel) to work with.
I have no SIM from any other operator to check if i can access to the network. (or i have to ask a friend for it tomorow !)
Is it possible to know that by only entering my IMEI in a specialised website ?
I want to flash my P3300 with WM6 and the latest ROMs.

CID and Network are totally different things. Your device might be SIM unlocked but CID locked and vice versa. If your device is SIM locked. You have to pay some money to unlock it. If it is SIM unlocked but CID locked, it does not matter. You can put any ROM on your device as long as it is alive.
my dopod M700 from China,it was reloaded by a english rom ,It is sim unclocked.how i know about CID,pls tell me specifically

As far as I know a device is ALWAYS CID Locked until you unlock it! and with the Artemis, the only way to do this is to pay some money to www.imei-check.co.uk so as long as you did not pay them to unlock the device it is CID-LOCKED.

Correct, listen to him if you like your phone.
Thanks all for your precisions.
So i just can update my OS Rom, but if i don't want to crash my artemis, i should unlock its CID before radio or other Rom update.

help me please.

UNLOCKING - the easy guide

Hi everyone.
I have an Orange SPV M700 with WM6, Tengo Free and Tom Tom v6. All working nicely, thanks to all the help on this forum!!
I have one last problem, i have ordered a t-mobile PAYG sim card so i need to unlock my phone for it to work.
I have read the big thread about the CID unlocker and seems some people have been having problems with it uncluding myslef.
Can anyway give me the download that will work or a link to it??? I just want to to able to use t-mobile sim in my phone, but don't want to give orange £20 for privelage.
Cheers a lot guys.
As far as I've been lead to believe once you've flashed the WM6 you should be sim unlocked. That may (assuming I'm correct) be why you've had problems CID unlocking after updating as you're already unlocked.
To upgrade to WM^ i used the three files at the top pf the related thread. Not sure if any of those CID unlocked. Tried a virgin mobiel sim in it and didn't work?
Some phones won't unlock the SIM even with CID Unlockers. HTC, O2 and Voda tend to be unlocked by default; Orange and T-Mobile phones are supplied SIM locked.
I've done the WM6/Radio update and my SPV M700 remains SIM locked to Orange.
I think the only effective way over this is to pay £20 to IMEICheck for a full SuperCID Unlock. Their service is superb if you are willing to pay the price!
Download this and follow the instructions (1 step really) ... http://pof.eslack.org/trinity-unlocker/
Mine is an Orange M700, was SIM and CID locked with original Orange ROM. Ran the above unlocker and could use any SIM on Orangae ROM. Then updated with WM6 and new radio ROM and the phone is still SIM unlocked and SuperCID unlocked. No need to pay any money for this simple thing.

Cool- I'd missed that one! Know he did one for the Hermes
One thing to watch if you are paranoid about Warranties, is that this version works by updating the Radio ROM, which technically is a warranty breach (though as most Orange Techs are so ignorant about these devices, they'd probably not know anyway!)
nice am goin to give it a try

hello,
first of all, sorry for my bad english.
1. I didn't found anything here about sim unlocking my SPV M650. will lokiwiz3 work?
2. my spv is on Orange ROM, how could i move on wm6 and where could i download it, before having cidunlocked my m650?
3. I saw on the internet that someone succeed in installing a plugin simulating the Touchflo, as on HTC touch (!!!), where could i find it?
many thx.

Hi PMUSA
all the answer to your questions are in the forums.
Just search the topics.
You need USPL to load a rom from here that is not designed firstly for your phone..
ok magpie2000K, thx, i already viewed this topic about USPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
but nothing about SIM unlocking
moreover, i would like to know where i could find a WM6 for my SPV M650. I have the Shap's HTC Tytn ROM on my external hard disk drive, will it also work for the M650????
because in the topic it says:
"This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Artemis after flashing USPL on it"
thx for your precisions
pmusa
well that's because no one has been able to come up with a way to unlock it yet (atleast none for free). you'll find two ways to sim unlock your phone here, if you'll just browse through the forums in artemis upgrading topic. but you'll have to pay for it via paypal.
about the wm6 rom, you can find one in the topic artemis mobile 6. there's a thread there that's especially started for french spv m650 users. sorry i can't post the links though, but you'll find them easily enough.
pmusa
here is the link for the sim unlocking (not for free)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314154
and for wm6 for spv
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313713
i also have spv m650 but i couldn't get my gps to work with wm6, eventually i returned it to original spv orange rom.
i hope yours will be okay.
thx redski.
i'm installing, i'll leave a feedback.
so, currently, there isn't any other way to SIM unlock the SPV M650?
the only one is imei-check? 30€, omg...
maybe HERMES sim unlocker v3 should work, i'll pray and try. ^^

please let me know if it does, and also if your gps works after upgrading to wm6.
thanks!!!
so, i upgraded to WM6 using Tom's BnB ROM, because i heared it supports GPS on SPV M650, but... i forgot to test it! (lol :S) I was'nt satisfied because it was too skinned, virtualkeyboard skinned too and QWERTY, so i "uninstalled" it and moved on Official HTC's ROM for the P3300. But the GPS currently doesn't work on HTC rom.
So now i am going to download Orange's latest ROM and flash it, i will also apply htc_default.tsk theme because Orange's theme sucks
...
Is someone working on how to unlock the Artemis with a software like lokiwiz????
...Once upon a time....

...Pof, Perjan and many other good men were working on a software to SIM unlock...perhaps possible CID Unlock the ARTEMIS, but other demands in life - exams, work around and very many things made the effort die a natural death....
I can only advise you not to wait up for it.
Go the previous ways advised - I would hassle tupisdin, if I wasn't given a free code to SIM Unlock mine - For SIM Unlock
...and the USPL developed by pof empowers me to flash..so I don't need to give imei-check.co.uk any more money.
sorry, i did'nt understand. do you mean that i should contact tupisdin so that he could give me a free simunlock code?
or do you mean that USPL also simunlock the artemis?

There is no free simunlocker for the Artemis. The Lokiwiz thingy does not work on this model. The USPL only cid-unlocks your device temporarily so that you are able to flash another ROM, but it does not unlock the sim.
ok now it's clear.
30€ is too expensive (imei-check)
who is tupisdin and how much a simunlocking costs?
thx

I don't know, so why don't you ask him? There is a thread called Sim Unlock when you scroll down a few lines. That thread is made by tupisdin.
yes, i sent him a PM.

I think you'll find the answer in this post - just added this post to the wiki for future questions
If you're unsure - butter use USPL one time too much than too little
Cheers, Peter
i have the MDA 3 from tmobile thats CID unlocked isnt it?
The MDA III is CID Locked by T-Mobile, you will need to run USPL first
