How do I Unlock for ROM Upgrade?

[Evil Knievil]

Hi Guys!

I just read the wiki article about the ROM Upgrade. Under 4. it says:

Before proceeding, you need to make sure that you unlock your PDA COMPLETELY. This includes removing CID/EROM locks etc. The unlocker and more tools can be found here or here

So what do I need to unlock for upgrading? There seems to be several locks to break.

The FTP-Links took me to a directory full of files. I wasn't able to find the right file which will do the unlocking work.

Can anyone help me out with that? Is there a universal unlocker or do I need to download more than one file?

THX, EvilK

Welcome

I´m sure you did not really READ the Wiki, look here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Simlock_by_Buzz_and_team

Good luck

Well, in fact I already read that. My device isn't branded so I don't have a SIM lock.

So I need to do the SIM unlock and the CID/EROM unlock only? Is that right?

What program do I have to use for the CID/EROM unlock? There is no description for the files in the ftp directory: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/Tools_and_Programs

I don't want to use the wrong program and ending up wrecking my device.

Thx, EvilK

Normally you don't need to SIM-unlock for upgrading, but a CID Unlock could be possible. You should read upgrade page for your device in the wiki.

@orb3000: The article is about doing the SIM unlock. But how do I do the CID and EROM unlock?

On the WIKI page it is said that I need to do that, but it is not exactly said how. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_ROM_Upgrade

I found this Page here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard%20Windows%20Mobile%206%2 0for%20newbies

But this is for the HTC Wizard only.

Hi

Have a look at this..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301662 according to it, you dont need CID unlocked if you use right RUU version to flash a ROM

Also search through 'Universal upgradeing etc forum.. you might get some solution..
