Hi all
I am using HTC TOUCH PRO2 and done SIM unlock
and now i want to upgrade for ROM update to window mobile 6.5
i have doubt that " if i upgrade to new rom version , should i again go for my sim unlocker"
Does any one tried this
please send me a solution
Here is a link to get you started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490 - read the first two threads
If your phone is cdma then make sure you use a cdma rom which can be found here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-tp2-upgrades/
With the sim unlocker it all really depends. I have a sprint tp2 running on at&t and i normally flash the radio unlocker whenever i task 29 before a flash. It seems that if i don't do that then the unlocker doesn't seem to work all the time.
my experience.
hi i have a tilt 2 sim unlocked, and i just upgraded the rom to the at&t last release. i feared i was going to lost the sim unlock, but to my surprise, it was untouched, im now running it smoothly. only now i need to config the data plan back, as this config was erased. any help with that? my carrier is telcel from mexico

Hi everyone,
i am new to Hermes site, i used to have wizard and knew how to unlock or flush any rom to that phone.
Tomorrow i am getting cingular 8525 which i am planning to use in T-mobile here in US. the phone I am getting is going to be refurbished phone. At&T is replacing the phone purchased back in February of this year.
I know I have to unlock it before I use it with t-mobile. I have read two ways of unlocking it one way is using HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a.zip file but at the same time I read about this way "SIM-Unlock SoftBank X01ht post April (white versions) with radio 1.14.01.10".
since the phone will be refurbished phone, should I treat it as new out of bax when unlocking it? which way should I chose to unlock?
I only have T-mobile sim card, do you think i will need at&t sim card to unlock this phone?
after the unlock I am planning to upgrade it to wm6 and I saw many good roms here: Official HTC rom, Black Magic, Black Satin...which one of these would you guys recommend me to use?
Thank you in advance.

so many views no reply?
can any one give suggestions?
Use the HTC Hermes SIM_CID_Unlock v3a. Worked like a charm for me. It will CID and SIM unlock so you can install whatever rom and use whatever carrier you wanted. You don't need an ATT sim to unlock it either...just follow the step by step instructions that come with the unlocker.
I used the Hacked Radio Version way to unlock mine
worked exactly as it said
and then i SuperCID mine...or you could just use OliPRO
Hello, ** the PPCGeeks Website is down**
I'm trying to upgrade to a new ROM, preferably 6.1. My phone is currently not starting, it just hangs on the HTC black intro screen. When I go into the 3color screen I can flash to new ROM, however, I keep getting error "Vendor ID invalid"..
I need the unlocker application. Can I unlock from the 3 color screen? If yes, can someone post the app because ppcgeeks website is down.
Also, can someone point me to the FTP link where I can find the 6.1WM ROM for Vogue?
Thank you!

alrighty,
1.ppcgeeks is up again.
2.there are MANY MANY MANY wm6.1 roms now out for the vogue. just have a look at the ppcgeeks>htc vogue>upgrading forum.
3.the unlocker is stickied in the vogue section over at ppcgeeks.
4.i dont think you can unlock from there, try flashing the stock rom back to your device (can also be found at ppcgeeks(ftp)), then once it boots up far enough to connect to activesync, go ahead and run imcokeman's vogue unlocker, and dont forget to thank him!(and/or donate to him)
Unlocking Sprint Touch Vogue w/ no SIM
Unlocking Sprint Touch Vogue w/ no SIM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the reply. I shourtly found out there is no SIM Card, so to get straight to the point, is there any way to get the Touch Vogue to work on T-mobile (USA)'s network without having a SIM Card.
T-mobile said there is no way to use a phone on their network without a SIM Card.
Background: I had my T-mobile Dash stolen. Now thinking I could unlock it, I got a Sprint Touch from a friend who bought the I-Phone instead. Can I use it, or should I simply resell it?
Please help. Would anyone be kind enough to communicate via email for quicker response? [email protected]
Vogue only work on the Network it is locked just look at it and see what Operator logo is there Must be Sprint Get you Number ported to Sprint to use it
forget about TMobile is a GSM Provider and Vogue is on CDMA Technology
Vogue / GSM Touch is different Hardware
CDMA and GSM technology
I would say to visit our CDMA network technology website where you will get all the information.
Hello Guys,
This question may be a little noob for everyone here but I really need to understand couple(or 3) of things here:
1. What basically is a SIM lock? is it software lock or some kind of hardware(registers) lock ?
2. If I get a new (brand new) phone from Rogers canada .. say HTC S621 and I flash it with one of the custom ROMs like NRG's or Kavanas... will it also remove my SIM lock...?
Actually the reason I am asking these questions is ....
I already have a HTC S621 which I SIM unlocked from some site for 30 some dollars about a year back. I was with Rogers rom at that time.
Now I upgraded to NRG remade rom .. so is my phone still SIM unlocked.... ?
if somebody could answer these questions.. I would really appreciate...
If you paid $30 for it, it is most likely a Sim unlock, which allows you to use others sim cards. CID unlock is a free app that is floating around here somewhere, and it is just a software unlock that allows you to put others Roms on your phone. For example, mine is a tmobile dash that is still sim locked to tmobile, but I have ahd Rogers, HTC, and multiple kitchen roms on it without any problems. Sim unlock would allow me to use an AT&T or other type of carriers sim card in it as well, but I dont need that.
Your phone will still be Sim unlocked if it has been unlocked in the past.
Does this answer your questions?
My Mistake
Hey god speed...
pardon my mistake .. i just made a fool out of myself....
Please replace CID with sim lock... I wrote the question keeping in mind Sim lock but I dont know y on the earth I kept on writing CID...
Sorry for wrong question... I will edit that...
My basic question is
1. Does flashing a ROM on a SIM Locked phone breaks the SIM LOCK? and
2. If My phone is with Rogers , I got it Sim Unlocked by paying 30 bucks.. and then reflashed to NRG Rom.. is it still locked or unlocked..
Thanks again....
flashing a new rom does not break the sim lock (or unlock in your case). Your good to go
Thanks go speed.....
I appreciate
no problem, just trying to give back where I can. Enjoy 6.1, its a whole new world!
Hi,
Guys i really need your help.
I' am in India and i got a T mobile vario III from a local place. It was unlocked and was running on WM 6.0. I wanted to upgrade it to WM 6.1 and its similar to TyTynII in India so i googled for a serial number and hard flashed the rom with the TyTynII WM 6.1 Rom. I have a UK mobile and it every time i insert a sim card from Airtel, hutch or spice asks me to insert sim card. The serial number of this device is HT816GB03362 . This is the phone's official link: http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/sd_vario3.html.
I had problems with sound which was fixed by flashing a base Rom of kaiser and then flashing with tmobile WM 6.0 however the sim card doesnt get detected. I took it to HTC local service center and they were not able to figure it out.
I tried all the sim unlocks available in HTC but i dont know which radio is compatible with these providers.
I have a couple of websites which offer tmobile unlocking eg: http://www.gsmliberty.net/shop/tmobile-vario-iii-instant-remote-unlock-p-1520.html i dont know if it will work
Changes: Everything is default and sim card is not getting detected
The screen comes with "Smart mobility" whenever i turn on the device instead of "Tmobile"
Every other function works and it has hardspl 1.0 oilmod installed
I also tried to flash with the original tmobile 6.1 ROM on this device but the sound doesnt work
If anyone can point me to the right direction or let me know how to get this fixed i will be greatful
i had previously accidentally posted this in the xperia section but i meant for it to be here but
im getting my tilt 2 tommorow
i ordered it online from amazon contract free ($500)
so i have some questions
1. is it sim unlocked? or will i have to go get an unlock code from att
2. will it automatically add a data plan if i put in my att sim card onto it?
(if so is there a way to bypass this)
3. whats hte diffference between cid unlocking and sim unlocking. is there away to do both in 1 method
No, it isn't SIM unlocked.
No, it will not add a data plan to your AT&T account if you put the SIM in.
SIM unlock allows you to use other SIMs in your device. CID unlocking allows you to flash any signed HTC ROM (For example, you could flash a Vodafone or a TMobile USA ROM on your Tilt2). CID unlocking really isn't necessary for most people since most people use HardSPL, but you can SIM, Security, and CID unlock with this tool here. It costs money for most people, but it's really worth it since it does all three types of unlocks.
Since you are new to the HTC Rhodium, I encourage you to read the wiki article and all stickies posted around the Rhodium forums, as well as the annoucement at the top. Hope that helps

1. ok thankyou so i shud ask att for an unlock code if i want to use it in china?/out of US
2. ohreally? i wasnt sure about this because when i went to att store and asked to buy a contract free tilt2, the guy said that they wud add a 30 dollar data plan to my line so it was really confusing
3. what about all of these roms that people are making on this forums do i need to cid unlock to use them?
oh new question are all these roms on the internet like windowsmobile specific? like will 1 rom work with 6.1 and another work with 6.5 or do they all work together
You could use an unlock code from AT&T, or use the tool I linked to in my post. As I said, it's $15, but it's very much worth it since it SIM unlocks, the money is used for good purposes, and it CID and Security unlocks as well.
While they may try to sell you a data plan when you buy it, they can't add a data plan when you insert your SIM
A CID unlock is not required to use the cooked ROMs on this forum. To use the custom ROMs on this forum, you need HardSPL. CID unlocking only allows you to use signed HTC ROMs, meaning that you can flash a TMobile ROM onto your AT&T Tilt while still running stock bootloader. However, CID unlocking won't let you run the custom ROMs you'll find online, since they aren't signed by HTC.
I'm afraid I don't understand your last question, sorry.
oh i mean do all of these roms work with windows mobile 6.5 and 6.1? or only one and not the other
All ROMs are only Windows Mobile 6.1 or only 6.5. If you flash a 6.5 ROM onto you device, you will be running windows mobile 6.5. Same for 6.1. There is no way for two versions of WM to coexist on the same device (that I know of).
where do i put cab files?

The ROM totally replaces everything (including Windows) on the device.

You put them on the device. To install them, you browse to them in File explorer mobile, then tap on them, and they will install.

Follow the instructions here, and skip over the HardSPL part if you've already HardSPL'd.
Also, since you've finally recieved your device, I encourage you to read the Rhodium Wiki, as well as all the stickies around the forum.
