CID Lock

[tixe]

Hi .. i want know when you talk about CID Locked, what it is that ?
I have my 8125 G4 UnLocked to can use any sim chip, from any Mobile Operator, on the world, so, for my idea i have unlocked my 8125, but when you talk about CID i cant understan if you talk about othe lock protection or if how i have unlocked my phone for a any sim chip, i have my 8125 CID unlocked.
some one can explain to me better?
Thank's a lot, i want to try the WM6 Rom, and i need know if i have unlocked my 8125, i think that my 8125 is G4 not G3 about the FAQS that i see on the forum, you can see my IPL/SPL data, on my signature.
I have yet the Cingular WM5 that came from factor.
And i want know if i can made a my own custome ROOM, and how do that.

Do some reading at the wiki. Top of this page, marked "XDA-Wiki". Lots of information there. As for CID-Lock and SIM-Lock issue, go to the Freq Asked Question section (in the Wiki) under ROM.

Flashing without unlocking for G4 also included in the wiki.
HOWEVER, for your case, which you can't even tell the difference between a SIM and CID lock, I wont recommend you to do it before spending a week or two really reading the stuff here.. and chances are you will brick your phone. ANYWAY, you are probably rich enough to brick a few phones.

SIM-Unlock is the ability to use SIM card from any carrier, CID-Unlock is the ability to flash ROMs for any carrier (as well as custom ROMs). They are completely different. Don't get confused or you will most likely have a brick.

p.s. G4 Wizard cannot be CID-unlocked, just HardSPL/SoftSPL.

Don't be silly, all things you want is already in the forum, kindly use the search function and/or see the stickies.

CID lock: Carrier ID lock
-this lock will prohibit you from flashing ROMs other than those from the carrier your device was provided for.

Super CID: developers CID (Often: 1111111) Will give your device gc_securitylevel=0 (so do soft and hard SPL)


To be honest: G4 can be CID unlocked, however, opening the door to writing the CID block will provide an open door to illegal IMEI-changing..
Therefore CID unlock has never been released (and never will be released, so don't even ask), soft and hard SPL will provide your device a fake super-CID and will also allow you to change everything except your imei ;)
