Hi guys...
I have cingular 8525. I think it's has been unlocked from the store where I bought it, because I can use it in my country using local network.
The question is If I want to upgrade my ROM can I use custom any ROM that has been posted here?
Thanks all for the help
sim unlock is good but you should hard spl your device to prevent bricking it. there are many threads about this and xda wiki is pretty filled with this stuff so i'd say do your reading/studying and u'll be fine. i'm pretty sure all your questions have been answered, just a matter of reading which does you no harm.

I just bought a HT820 for my Cingular 8125, after being told it would allow me to listen to music wirelessly. Of course everyone knows this wont happen without the A2DP BT profile installed. So why hasnt HTC included this in the last rom? I upgraded to it tonight expecting them to have included it since it's availible.. but NO... *grumbles*
ANYWAYS, since i cant do it, I'm looking into a non-approved rom.. but seriously I'm new to PPC's and dont have a clue. I've read through alot of posts and noticed stuff about G3 and G4, as well as talk about the phones being locked or not.
My questions are, how can you tell if it is locked? How can you tell what G you have? (I'm guessing that might stand for generation?)
Seriously, I dont want too much of a change that involves risks. All i'm looking for is any current rom with what i need in it, and the knowledge of how to get it on my phone. Any help? (And please dont flame me for asking something that might have been asked before.. there are WAY to many posts to sort through on here to find my answers).
Please help peeps. From what i can tell on here, you are all very nice people. I didnt see one rude post. So please... keep up the friendlyness? ^_^
Edit: oh and i forgot. the numbers i get when i startup my phone are (in order):
2.25
2.25
2.25.11
2.25.11.1
and under device info:
Rom Ver. 2.25.11.1 WWE
Rom date 5/11/06
Radio version 02.25.11
Protocol Ver. 4.1.13.12
ExtRom Ver. 2.25.11.102
Model: WIZA100
I have the same PDA
and same questions. Is it possible or not to unlock the PDA?
Thank you!
yes you can unlock the 8125 that have the g3 chip. that means if your phone at the beggining page has 2.25.0001 it means you have a g4 chip and not much modding can be done to them. so i beg of you not to do anything to a g4 8125. but anyways to unlock them use the farias way. just search lockwiz and look for farias page. after you do that flash the newest rom from htc. thaway your phone works properly. after that search a2dp and follow the instructions. i think ive given you guys more help than i ever received when i first started on this webpage. Good luck to you guys.
Hi, i read through the forum, and i have no clue what you guys are talking aobut, allthese nuber, im a NOOB, and i admit, but i was hoping someone can guide me in a direction, I have a T-Mobile MDA, with ofcourse T-Mobile Service, and i want to use this phone for Cingular Service, can anyone help me unlock my phone for Cingular, thanx a lot!!!
T-Mobile MDA well they have a few so you need to work out what device and rom you have. Then you need to read wiki about that device. Then check the forum based on what you have read and what you would like to do.
Hello,
I just picked up an HTC 6800 unit branded the P4000 from Telus. It came with WM5 and I would like to load WM6 on it. I've been reading lots around here trying to get all the tools and information I need to move forward but more than anything I'm nervous that I will brick my phone. I know my phone is very new and I'm not sure if these tools will work on my model or not?
From what I understand I need to use the CID Unlock to allow me to upgrade my ROM and Radio for WM6.
I think with a little trial and error that I have enough knowledge to get this working it's just like I said I'm not sure if these tools will work on my phone.
Can someone please tell me if this will work or give me some links to other posts that might help.
Thanks in advance for everyones help,
Dave

DO NOT UPGRADE with WM6 in this forum! the phone you have is the Herald which is not the same as the Hermes. If I am right yours has a 200mhz chip and the keyboard slides out to the right. If you upgrade with the Hermes WM6 it will brick your device.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, IT IS A DIFFERENT PHONE!
Verizon Rhodium "newbie" quesiton please help (unlocking). I have unlocked the SIM
Sorry if my question is too stupid but here it is:
I own a verizon branded HTC touch pro 2. (Rhodium) I ask verizon for the sim unlock code and they provide me with one. Im now able to put in my at&t card and use it, it works..
My question is: does this mean my phone is fully unlocked?.
can I know install all this great roms I see around, worry free?
or is there something else that has to be done in order to install the cooked roms.
if can install the roms and you can provide me with first time steps as well it would be greatly appriciated.
I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure unlocking the SIM is separate from unlocking the phone (HardSPL and allowing unsigned firmware).
if this is correct could someone please explain or post a link as to what HardSPL is . and perhaps where there is a step by step guide on what I need to do in order to install roms
thanks a bunch.
I don't think there's a HardSPL for CDMA phones yet (don't hold me to that), but the ROM development sub-forum is where you want to go. Read the stickies there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490
HardSPL for CDMA (Verizon, Sprint) is not out yet.
You can not flash ROMs at this time. Well, you can try... and end up with a bricked phone, but that's totally your call.
thanks everyone.
I've got this touch pro2 cdma on US Cellular.
please advice if I can sim unlock this and if I could do some custom ROMs.
I've tried to read some stuff but it's hard to figure out all this.
There was a version of USCC to unlock some stuff but it said (not recommended)
pls advice
thank you
A SIM unlock will not allow you to flash a custom ROM. You need a HardSPL unlock to do that.

i was looking into hardspl and when it came to USCC it said (not recommended) ... that's why i got confused.
would you like to be a little bit more explicit pls?
i appreciate your reply
i would really appreciate some help
Don't know anything about USCC, but HardSPL will void your warranty and done wrong can brick your phone.

Miami: I believe USCC is an abbreviation for US Cellular. I'm not sure what the other "C" stands for, though.
gotttijr: If I understand you correctly, you're saying that you asked US Cellular about putting a Hard SPL on your device. If that's the case, then OF COURSE they would tell you not to do it! Changing the ROM of your device VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY. You are doing this at your own risk. You don't have to tell them about doing it, though. There are tools to get it back to its stock conditions if you ever have to send it in for a warranty repair/exchange.
Hard SPL DOES NOT unlock your device to another service. If you want to do that, then ask your carrier for the unlock code. Tell them you need the code to be able to use it in another country, and they will normally give it to you with no problem. Hard SPL allows you to flash custom ROMs and other radios.
This is as far as I take you, grasshopper. Search and read. The answers will come to you.

again thanks for your reply
what I meant was that I've researched this forum for htc touch pro2 cdma and there was a thread about this hard spl and when it come to USC phones there was a statement (not recommended). I'm having an hard time finding that thread no.
I'm still looking for it.
would it be stable to run android on that phone?

Are you saying you haven't seen the sub-forum clearly labeled Touch Pro2 CDMA and Touch Pro2, Tilt2 Android Developement?
Both of your questions are seriously the very first thread of each of them.

Android isn't stable on any phone not designed for it. Most of the people running it on a dual-boot setup have to live without some functionality and/or other quirks.

I got a USCC TP2 unlocked working with T-Mobile. Just follow all of the instructions given by the letter. Go over here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-tp2-upgrades/
Read the sticky threads. After unlocking and everything you can choose a new ROM that runs better than stock. USCC TP2 stick with CDMA ROMs and radios. Never install a GSM ROM or Radio.
Thanks again guys. So what rom would u recommend? There was the thread with radio unloc where it says for us celular not recommended. Can anyone advice on that one?

If I had a nickel for every time a new member asked "What ROM should I choose?" I'd be a very wealthy man.
Either flash a ROM or don't. Either way, only YOU can recommend a ROM for yourself. There are several for you to try. Just keep flashing ROMs until you find one you like.
No one can give you advice on an unlock thread without seeing it. Post a link to whatever you're talking about or move on.
