C'mon......... all you experts and NO ONE can help me????

Hi,
If you have an 8125 it will be locked to Cingular.
You have an HTC Wizard and as such your question would be best asked in the appropriate forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=248
You can find plenty of information there on how to remove the SIM lock (it's not hard) and you will get a much better response from Wizard users.

Upgrading a Cingular 8125 to use a Motorolla HT820

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.

any help would be must appreciated
Hello lloyd, as you can see from all the offers of help that you received, this site is full of big heads who claim to be geniuses, but when faced with a simple question reply that you should read more!
Unfortunately, it appears that most of the contributors are so illiterate and self centered that they do not have time to help people with genuine problems.
For the last six months, I have been trying to upgrade my rom, only to find links that do not work and instructions that are incomplete.
If you want any real help, you will not find it on this website.

unlocked AT&T tilt2 flashing question

Hi all:
Just got my Tilt2 yesterday from Negri electronics....very happy with the quality of it but hated the stock AT&T ROM. Just some questions I am hoping the experts here can help me out.
The phone came unlocked....if I attempt to flash it to another WWE ROM will the phone be re-locked?
I also need chinese input as well and currently I have CEstar 2.8 installed. Is there any other options to have chinese input instead?
Thanks!
K
no as to unlock
don't know answer to chinese

I don't have any answer for Chinese input. For flashing a different WWE ROM, you MUST flash HardSPL FIRST. Don't even try to flash any other ROM before flashing HardSPL. First you need to read and follow all the instructions mention in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
If you have any questions about the HardSPL ask in that thread.
For the WWE ROM's you can check this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490
Thanks guys! I am more concerned about the sim unlock.....I'll check for a WWE ROM from taiwan and hopefully that will have chinese input....otherwise I just use a english ROM and go with CESTAR.
Thanks again.
just remember to READ THROUGH the threads linked above and Hard SPL first or else it's the end of the world!!! For sim unlock, there are many like olipro who will unlock it for a price or if you're an ATT customer with good standing, you can just call them and they'll give you a sim unlock code. I do that for every phone I get - and that's free.

The device you are referring to is not a Blue Angel (heck, I don't even think it is made by HTC). If it is asking for an unlock code, it means that your device is not unlocked, which means that you will not be able to install a custom rom on it until you unlock it. Having said that, there is no HTC device in this whole site that even resembles the ultimate 9502. Chances are that if you do manage to get it unlocked, and flash something from xda-developers.com, you will end up with a brick. Please read before you post, make sure that you are getting a rom meant for your device, and ask plenty of questions before you flash or else you will brick the device.
Good luck.
I hope this can make it clear for u to understand and help me to get rom code
thank you

I understood in the original post what you were asking for. My answer is still the same: this is not a Blue Angel (or a device made by HTC for that matter), we have no way or tools to determine the unlock code for your device. There are two things that you could try
1. Go to a forum that has development for your device (maybe Howardforums, PPCGeeks, etc)
2. Call your provider and see if they have this information. I know that blackberry carriers have this kind of info available (sometimes for a fee though)
Good luck.
and charge your battery to 100% before you flash. if it dies during a flash it'll be worth just as much as a paperweight
Hi
The ROM unlock code is on your box if you still have it. If you don't have your box or have the code written down somewhere, give up now. Before Club I-mate went offline, you could get the code from them (foolish me to think they would always be there), I have tried Telstra support (Australia), but while they are able to flash the ROM, they will not give out the code or how they do it.
An appeal... If any service techs are out there that know how they get the code, and can let us know, there would be a lot of very greatful users.
