Help guys, I have a Sprint vogue that was flashed before. It was CID unlocked and has custom ROM on it. My cousin was the one using it then he returned it to me at this state. Problem is the phone does not have any radio. So i tried to bootload it and flash it with a radio but it does not accept it . It's now CID locked.
VOGU100 MFG
SPL-2.01.1000
CPLD-3
I tried to flash it with an OEM ROM, Sprint, USC, Alltel, telus, Bell, VZW nothing seems to work. is there any way to ICD unlock this? so i could flash it with an OEM rom. Thanks.

I am not a newbie. I have ready many many threads on unlocking my g3.
I am currently using tmobile IPL/SPL of 2.26 and using ROM of 2.26.10.105
My phone has already been SIM unlocked., but not CID unlocked.
None of the Lokiwiz will work to unlock the CID. (03a unlocked the SIM).
I have tried using WIZARD LOVE 2.26.10.2, it doesnt work.
Neither does CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE
I have also tried T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_1081002_108_10910_ENG_US
to revert the rom back to something that I can then use Lokiwiz 02b on...
but all to NO avail...
Can anyone please tell me is there truly a way to CID UNLOCK this locked g3?
My goal being to flash faria's wm6 rom... aku4
Thanks in advance!!
Thanks for sharing....
Hey guys,
first off im a newbie & i have trawled thru countless threads etc. I just bought a Telstra branded Diamond which id like to update to the optus rom (im with them). From wat i undastand, a hardspl is needed before attempting to flash a rom. Ive tried olinex signed, developer edition etc successfully. These are meant to enable u to flash any rom, but wen i try to add the optus or other official rom i get the invalid id error...
Wat am i doing wrong??? Thanks in advanced.
Have you unlocked it yet
Search here for the diamond unlocker utility if you haven't yet. I have a cdma Diamond from sprint but this site is mostly gsm so I'm sure you want to get the right unlocker, not sure what would happen or if the unlockers are different for gsm and cdma but they probably are. Hope I helped.
Unlocked?
It came unlocked from factory, it accepted my optus sim & has functionality. Is that wat u meant?

cid unlock is carrier id unlock basically you want to have your diamond cid unlocked before you flash various carrier roms on it. If it came sim unlocked than cid is probably locked to htc thus constricting you to official htc rom updates only.
cid unlock your diamond and than proceed with flashing other roms.
After more experimenting it worked! Found hardspl unsigned, flashed the olinex 1.93 version followed by flashing optus rom HA-ZAAAAAAAH
What optus rom?
Do you have a link to the optus rom that you used? Was it this one (generic AU)?

Hi, I searched but couldn't quite find the anwser.
I am sending in my Vogue back to BELL for a warranty replacement. I have unlocked the phone and installed a custom rom (NFSAN 1.31 Bell).
I unlocked the phone using coke 2.31, and I need to relock and install the original Bell Rom before I send it off for warranty replacement. Any help is appreciated, as I don't know how to relock the device. I have the latest Bell rom ready to install, but I dont want the load screen to show coke-2.31 when it is being assessed for replacement.

Search for a vogue relocker.
Put this into google: "vogue relocker xda ppcgeeks"
without quotes, should pull up anything about a vogue relocker on ppcgeeks and xda. if i get some time i'll search for it also later tonight, but don't count on that!!
also before you relock it, you'll have to flash to bell's stock 6.1 rom.
search htc.com for that.
if you look good enough for those, you should find it.
I was able to relock the device by installing the coKe 0.40 unlocker, and then installing the stock Bell rom from the HTC site on top of that. It seems to have worked.
Is there any other way to verify that the device is locked and in its original state? How do i enter bootloading state without actually installing another ROM?
SPL-2.01.0000
CPLD-3
Is what the bootloader displays. I assume this means the device is in its original state?
press and hold the power and camera button and hit the soft reset button. Keep holding the power and camera buttons and it will bring you to the boot loader screen. I don't know what it should say if it's locked though

Ok i bought my vogue unlocked w .41 (nonGPS) and since i have had it i have been unable to relock or upgrade unlocker to 2.31. I am trying to get it flashed with a custom GPS rom that i can set to MetroPCS. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
I'm nowhere near an expert on this, but did you try upgrading to the latest ROM posted on HTC.com? I hear this will relock your device and enable GPS/Rev A, and after that you can install your unlocker and custom ROM.
This is assuming it is a Sprint Touch since I'm not sure if other Touches have the same GPS/Rev A ROM available direct from HTC.

All the info you need is here and to relock the vogue click here google is your best friend.
Good luck
tried all of that. Im running the sprint 1.12/2.13 original stock rom. Any other updated stock rom flashed my radio away (thanks to .41 unlocker that will not get the f*#k off my phone!). Imcokeman's .40 and 2.31 fail to relock or upgrade to 2.31. Ive had this phone for about 3 weeks now trying to get it switched to Metro. Getting very frustrated.
nvm, im a dumb ass. I've been extracting unlockers and running just the RUU. Big mistake. just got it relocked.
I've had this unlocked Hero SPL for a while now, and it's super useful for flashing unsigned updates and cool stuff like custom splashes. Unfortunately i've not been able to distribute it... until now!
WARNING
A PROBLEM FLASHING THE SPL CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE - as such, proceed with caution. Don't flash this unless you need it, flash at your own risk, flash only to a GSM Hero and do not interrupt the flashing process (which happens on the first reboot after applying the zip). YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
The SPL, version 1.76.2007, is in the usual update zip format.
Download: MoDaCo
Enjoy!

What exactly is the SPL and what benefits will we get from flashing it?

Searching is hard so why not get someone else to do it
Thanks modaco I will try it after christmas, just to be sure that my phone won't be bricked till I learn some things better
Nice!
Thanks Paul (and any other eventual leakers not mentioned).
Now I can get rid of my hacked SPL
do we copy this zip file to sd card and update through recovery image? like other radio, rom and theme applying?
Would I be right in thinking I need to CID unlock my Orange Hero (rooted) before I can flash an unlocked SPL? Or is that the whole point of an unlocked SPL?
Not planning on using phone on another network at the moment, just want rid of all locks.
I remember way back when, on my Kaiser, I needed to run Kaiserunlocker.exe when hardSPL'd it, but can't remember the exact procedure.
Many thanks
Phone:
UK Orange Hero (rooted)

There should be no need for that, and long as you have rooted phone and a custom recovery you should be able to flash it.
You're confusing CID lock with SIM lock. The SIM lock is what limits your phone to a specific network.
CID lock is software enforced "label" that is used to limit what software can be installed on your phone.
For example: Your Orange branded phone is identical hardware-wise to my sim-unlocked Nordic Hero. However the phones have different CID values. Assuming you havn't rooted it you would be stuck to just running Orange approved ROMs on it. No other ROM would be allowed to be installed even if your hardware is identical and can run it.
CID is a non-issue once the phone is rooted and you got a custom recovery on it that allow us to install whatever we want since it ignores CID.
I'm not that versed in the SIM lock function, but from what I've seen it seems you can get some code to disable it from within Android (look around on the forum for instructions), or there is the serial cable method (explained in a sticky on this forum).
Hope that explains it.
just flashed and flashed modaco startup image too. its so cool. thnx a lot Paul. btw. how to make startup images? cheers
