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.

Based on my previous reading this would not be the case but, if IMEI's were the unique part in unlock Dash's this could provide a way to unlock them for free (with one known code).

did the imei check unlock already my phone is cid unlocked software unlocked and reflashed wih htc excalibur stable rom iwizard will not work with excalibur and yet there seems to not yet be a imei changer soluion for this phone there is someone however that knows the tasks that iwizard runs is this not somehow able to be ported to the excalibur i have found a pay service that supports g4 chips but excalibur is not listed so i dont not want to try it also still searching for the location of the imei and a way to access that location

How to change IMEI on Gigabyte PDA ?

how can i change IMEI in Gigabyte G-smart i ?
does unlocking mean changing IMEI ?
however i need changing IMEI of the pda !
the phone OS is "Microsoft Window Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC Phone Edition(AKU2)"
and complete description is here :
http://www.gsmarena.com/gigabyte_g_smart_i-1759.php
and one question more : is changing IMEI depended on the brand of the pda or it is depended on OS version for PDAs or ... ?
Thanks all for helps ...

it is dependent on the phone the model and the way of storing the IMEI, I dont think there is much info on IMEI changing on this site (and indeed the entire internet) because of the legality of it.
IMEI "repair" is a better way to put it... but its still probably illegal in your country. Use the search function on this site to see the methods used on HTC PDA's and also look around the net for something specific to your PDA. Chances are no other tools for other pda's will work.
Cheers.
Buncey.

Unlocking means that your phone can use any sim card from any gsm company.
It hasn't nothing to do with imei.

u can unlock the device so you can use any other network simcard in your device, however, it is very illegal to change any IMEI of a handset . the only reason really that anyone would want to do this is if a handsert is stolen and someone tries to change the imei before the block signal is sent to that device.

joey jojo ,
It's not only the reason !!!
There are many people having problems with registering their IMEI in Service provider maybe for sudden draft law, so they can't use their device in network if they buy it from another country !

in which case the draft laws mean that it's ilegal
:S

I have not asked if it is illegal or legal , i just wanted to know if it is possible or no , so you can answer to the first question if you know , otherwise please ....

Whatever the legality (and it's not legal), you will not find the information here so please stop asking

Doesn't this forum have Moderators ? so if my thread is illegal , they can delete it and ... , otherwise why you are wasting time and forum bandwidth with not related answers to the question ?
i think it's better to stop it here !

How to help: Installing T-Mobile WM Upgrade on non-branded S620

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.

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!!

* Power on without SIM
* Type in #7465625*638*
* A Dialog Box will appear. Enter your Unlock codeand press OK
* Device should say: “Successfully Disabled Locking Status” and press OK
* Your device has been unlocked.
*The 8 digit code can be obtained by calling AT&T Technical Support and given the representative the IMEI number. In exchange they will give you the Subsidy Unlock Code.
To obtain the IMEI number press *#06# on your mobile device.
the answer is there on the page

U can get the code as free. Number of websites are providing the services through online so u can. i found a website http://www.mobileunlockguide.com/ for the NOKIA,LG,SAMSUNG ETC., instructions AS FREE

the free omnia unlocker works on the Epix.

Thank you. Won some BJ's on eBay and this came in handy.

Awesome! Just did this procedure on my Epix running trashcan's WM 6.5 ROM, no problems. Have not tested it with an alternate SIM but the status page shows all radio buttons set to "unlocked." Am looking to buy a used G1 on eBay and will probably pass the Epix to my son with a pre-paid account so he can phone or text me when he needs a pick-up from somewhere. Can other phones be unlocked with similar methods, not requiring either cooperation from a carrier or purchase of an unlock code?

This is what I used.. no need to purchase unlock code.
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1536343
I did it prior to updating to win 6.5 from trashcan. The link says before updating to a certain version.
So its good someone confirmed that it would work even after updating.

I can confirm that works. I did it in 6.1 and upgrade to 6.5 and still works
