I suggest you go to the WIKI and do a search, such as "CID" or "SuperCID". I know there's a vocabulary of terms in the Hermes WIKI.
Hope this helps

CID-lock means: YOu can only flash official ROms in YOUR device language. All other will cause "vendor-ID error"
All devices are cid-locked by default - you have to pay for unlocking.
Aserg found a way of flashing devices to WM6 without the need of unlocking
BUT: when something goes wrong - you need an RUU in your language to unbrick your device.
SO pleas read more when trying to flash a WM6 rom.
Thanks

Buuut --- if i will choose Czech leanguage in that rom, my Rom version in Device Infromation is 1.8.405.1 CSY (maybe thing CZ) and when i will choose English as default Leanguage, my Rom version is 1.8.405.1 WWE -
--- is it possible, to have 4 diferent roms in device, and im choosing them by Leanguage Choose on Hard Reset device?
and also, when after hard reset, it will let me choose 4 leanguage, and the first is ENG and second is Czech (my Leng) so it seems it is English rom...

Hmm never heard of multiple language boot before.. but i suggest you'd just try them! (if you really need the info)
Since your device info changes when you change the language, i would not know, only way to find out is trying

eeh .. but if it will not work, and i brick my device, i dont know how to unbrick that... because there is not RUU for chzech (i tryed to search everywhere) -- and when i brick that, i will loose a lot of money in my case...

You CANNOT brick with an RUU, if it's not he right one, you will get Invalid Vender ID error and it will not flash

You got a point there:D then i suggest you just try the RUU's! if not one works, then you should CID-unlock at imei-check.co.uk. then flash to the latest WWE ROM, and then flash WM6 to it! good luck
Maximus-CZ
12th August 2007, 02:06 PM
