I found my old AT&T/Cingular Audiovox SMT5600 and 2125 and was wondering about SIM unlocking the devices. I know they have to be AppUnlocked, but is it best to flash the ROM first to one of the cooked ROMS from here? I have the same question about my T-Mobile Dash (retired now).

I've got a list of sites I've started to compile for SIM Unlocking these phones, I have the Dash unlocking site at home bookmarked I think.

Cingular 2125 (HTC Faraday)

T-Mobile Dash (HTC Excalibur)
WM 6.5 ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523718
SIM Unlock:

Is it better to flash with one of the cooked ROMS from this site prior to attempting to use a free unlocking tool? I'm running Vista 64bit at home, anyone know if the tools will run on that OS?
