I called up t-mobile so I can unlock this dash and use it on cingular and it works fine now. My question is, is it also CID unlocked? I understand that it has to be app unlocked and cid unlocked for me to install the stock HTC rom on it.
Doesnt need to be app unlocked. Needs to be CID unlocked to flash a different ROM, also called super-cid. What yours is now is only sim unlocked, meaning it can work with another operator's sim card.
How would I CID unlock it or even find out if its cid locked?

The T-Mobile Dash comes CID locked out of the box (as do all carrier branded devices, and almost all unlocked devices). To install the stock HTC ROM, you'll need to CID unlock at a place like http://imei-check.co.uk/ for approximately $38.
FYI- with the recent release of WM 6 by T-Mobile, you probably want the WM 6 ROM over the HTC stock one, but hey- it takes all kinds, right?
Well im just asking because what if htc comes out with their wm6? I don't like the t-mobile branded everything haha. But yes I am enjoying the phone very much with wm6.

Thought I'd mention imei-check don't offer a CID unlock but a work around method to let you flash a different ROM. It involves hex editing both the nbf and the romupdateutility.exe among other things. Once the ROM is flashed when you put your sim in the device is locked (data crashed message about contacting your service provider) by their modified boot loader until you run imei-check's sim unlock utility again, which is why you need to pay the $38 for doing this.
Hi,
I purchased a used Dash off of ebay and it's just arrived! It's unlocked (confirmed... my at&t sim works fine) and running wm6.
I'd like to flash and unbranded rom onto it (lots of tmobile crap on there right now) but am not sure how to check if it's CID unlocked. From what I've read here, I need to make sure of this first so that I don't brick my new phone.
I can't seem to find a post that details how to check if your phone is indeed CID unlocked or not.
Can someone fill me in?
Thanks!
Nevermind... I'm CID unlocked. I was able to update to the latest HTC ROM (the one posted here) without getting the Vendor ID error, so I'm guessing that means I'm unlocked.
It might be handy to know for someone else though... so if there's a way to check on the phone for CID Unlock, feel free to share.
Thanks! Having fun reading all the great info here and learning how to hack my Dash!
Hi, can I assume that the Tmobile UK BL can't be unlocked until Tmobile release an update, which means that it will be a hell of a long time with there track record.
i'm on t-mobile uk and i can confirm that you can definitely unlock the bootloader.
i had already upgraded with the RUU gingerbread rom if that makes any difference?
but anyways, with the htc-dev unlock method, i think i chose their RUU that was called TMOUK or something similar (i assumed that it's some kind of abbreviation for t-mobile?). anyways, that worked for me, but failing that, i assume the HTC EUROPE RUU option would also work?
Thanks but have tried the tmouk and the latest Euro ruu, nothing seems to work.
which bit are you stuck on exactly?
have you tried making gold card?
how do u I unlock bootloader for T-Mobile USA GSM?
this is for USA T-Mobile

If you are S-off, you should be able to change CID to obtain Super CID, which basically SIM unlocks it. I've successfully done it here in USA without a problem; T-mobile phone working on AT&T network without requesting SIM unlock, just Super CID. Sorry I'm still a junior member here, so can't post links, but Google it, you should find info on how to Super CID.

No. Incorrect. S-Off does not unlock SIM.

I believe you misread my post. I said, IF you are S-off you can change CID to a Super CID (all 1's), which will allow you to use phone on all carriers, basically same as SIM unlock.

Once again. no. You are incorrect. Gaining S-Off does not allow you to use your phone with any carrier. You need to SIM unlock for that, and S-Off does not do that.

I'm sorry, sir, but you do seem to have trouble understanding my statements.
Just to set the record straight for everyone, please see this link, as it explains 3 ways to unlock SIM and explains Super CID a bit. Note, however, there is a warning out on XDA that the 3rd method listed on this site is not recommended as it caused issues on some devices.

We've not misunderstood your post at all. That guide is a temporary SIM-unlock method, if you ever set the phone back to S-ON it's SIM-locked again. The only permanent SIM-unlock is via a code
If so, is it simply done by sequentially unlocking the sim card and then s-off to use on the different bands?

You would S-OFF using Sunshine then SuperCID, then run the Verizon firmware, without the radio.img
(this is basically the steps, more details can be found in the already made threads)
