CID unlock with OS 1.0.13.21

[yanuk]

My Dopod818 Pro came shipped with OS version 1.0.13.21 how do I know if it's CID unlocked already?

The wiki states to look for the OS version 1.0.13.21 to determine the unlocking of the CID. Is there any other way to see it?

Did you run the cid unlock program as the instructions given in wiki? If so, where did you download (cid unlock program) it? The wiki link for this file no longer works, because it was removed.

If you see that rom (1.0.13.21) on a device you purchased, all it means is that you have an old rom installed. Upgrade to a newer rom.

Probably, you didn't run the real cid unlock program. That unlock program is based on the old rom, but it's NOT the old rom for regular use, in that condition. That's why at end of the real unlock program, you verify the rom 1.0.13.21, ONLY to know you completed the unlock program correctly. Then you upgrade to current rom of choice.

If you can get the true cid unlock program referred to in wiki, first you upgrade to a later rom, to get off the installed rom 1.0.13.21. Then, perform the cid unlock process mentioned in wiki, using the doctored unlock rom, which will be shown as 1.0.13.21, if completed properly.

Finally, if you do all that, upgrade rom to newer rom of choice with your now cid unlocked device.
