You have already posted ur question in the relevant thread of Dr.Puttingham's grrrrr8 guide,plz have patience.All the senior members here r very helpfull,even Doc Putts himself goes out in any manner to help,there's no need to open a new thread for it.
Anyways,if u can't understand the method in ( as u say) 2 months,it's really amazing,it's so simply explained.
ok, Plz first post what are the vital details of ur wizard like IPL/SPL...? is it G3 or G4 ?
secondly post exactly where u don't understand,where r u doing wrong,u say 'untill i get to the unlocking part' ? what u mean by this ?

Sorry about that I reckon i'm on here all the time reading and going into over load that everyone was doing the same....
I reckon that my problem is where I need to put the unrared file on the c drive. I had the screen come up 2x but and i had hit u both times but phone never rebooted.... the mda is a G3 and i have never done anything to it ang i got it the day it launched in the U.S. but before i did anything i made sure that it was a G3.
sorry for the double post now i know I gotta have Patience...

ALRIGHT!!!

I'm doing this only to make you understand all the steps for 'SIM/CID unlocking' in a layman's language as per described in excellent guides by Dr.Puttingham and Faria."ALL CREDITS" go to these two wonderful guys,who did hard work and taken pains to write these very elaborative and simple to understand guides,by virtue of which thousands of us have benefited from AND THAN 'ALL THE CREDITS'for MACHINAGOD,the MAGICIAN for giving us the magic tool'Lokiwiz02b' BLESS YOU

OK! Let´s shoot.....


- Download "lokiwiz02b.zip" to a folder on your PC.

a) SO NOW YOU HAVE lokiwiz02b.zip file (827 KB) IN A FOLDER OF YOUR PC (Mostly where you usually download software)

Step 1- Unzip lokiwiz02b.zip to somewhere in your computer(Preferably in the root of Drive C:\ where you have your WinXP installed)
a) RIGHT CLICK lokiwiz02b.zip AND SELECT TO EXTRACT TO THE ROOT OF Drive C:\ , NOW YOU HAVE IN YOUR Drive C:\ A FOLDER NAMED lokiwiz02b CONTAINING THE EXTRACTION OF lokiwiz02b.zip
b) DOUBLE CLICK THE FOLDER NAMED lokiwiz02b TO OPEN AND YOU´LL SEE THE FOLLOWING THREE ITEMS IN IT
1) A FOLDER NAMED 'Utils'
2) A ZIP FILE NAMED 'EnableRapi'(70kb)
3) MS DOS BATCH FILE NAMED'Lokiwiz'(3kb)

Step 2- Copy EnableRapi.cab to your Wizard (the phone itself!!!)
a) CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO YOUR PC VIA USB CABLE AND ACTIVE SYNCHRONIZE(MAKE SURE CONNECTION IS ESTABLISHED)
b) RIGHT CLICK ZIP FILE NAMED 'EnableRapi'(70kb) SELECT COPY FROM THE DROP DOWN MENU AND COPY TO ANY FOLDER IN YOUR PHONE(or in My Documents Folder in your Phone)

Step 3- Execute the EnableRapi.cab in your phone. Wait for it to finish.....
a) PICKUP YOUR PHONE AND USE FILE EXPLORER IN YOUR WIZARD TO LOCATE THE FILE THAT YOU JUST COPIED (EnableRapi.cab) AND TAP ON IT, IMMEDIATELY YOU´LL BE PROMPTED TO ACCEPT OR CANCEL THE INSTALLATION, YOU MUST ACCEPT, THEN THE FILE STARTS TO EXECUTE AND YOU SEE A PROGRESS BAR AT THE TOP OF YOUR WIZARD SCREEN, WAIT UNTIL THE EXECUTION COMPLETES (LIKELY YOU´LL GET A PROMPT FOR SUCCESFUL INSTALLATION)

Step 4- Guarantee that your phone is connected via ActiveSync with the computer!!!
a) ACTUALLY YOU SHOULD ALREADY HAVE HAD A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WIZARD AND YOUR PC SINCE YOU COMPLETED STEP (2a), ANYHOW MAKE SURE THE ACTIVESYNC WINDOW IN YOUR PC SHOWS THE STATUS AS CONNECTED (CONNECTION AS GUEST IS ALRIGHT, YOU DON´T HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIFIC PARTNERSHIP).

Step 5- Execute lokiwiz.bat
a) NOW IN YOUR PC GO BACK TO THE FOLDER OR THE DIRECTORY NAMED 'Lokiwiz02b' ON DRIVE C:\ THAT YOU GOT ON STEP (1b) AND DOUBLE CLICK THE MS DOS BATCH FILE NAMED 'Lokiwiz' (3kb), REMEMBER YOU HAVE 3 ITEMS IN THIS DIRECTORY OR FOLDER,AS PER STEP(1b)!!!!!
b) 'Lokiwiz' (Batch File) WILL BE EXECUTED AND YOU'LL GET THE MS DOS PROMPT ON YOUR PC SCREEN,(Black CMD Screen,like the one you get when you click Start-->Run-->type cmd)

Step 6)- YOU WILL SEE IN THE BLACK SCREEN (MS DOS PROMPT) IT HAS THE FOLLOWING OPTION.....

U. Unlock
L. Lock
C. CID Unlock (SuperCID)
Q. Quit

Step 7)- To GET YOUR PDA SIM UNLOCKED.....
a) HIT THE 'U' KEY ON YOUR PC KEYBOARD (Watch at the black Screen,letter 'u' will appear written,where it say's 'Type the letter and press enter' at the bottom of the screen) AND PRESS <Enter> ON YOUR KEYBOARD....YOUR PDA WILL REBOOT UPON COMPLETION !!!!!!!
(Wait for your PDA to REBOOT This will get your PDA SIM Unlocked,Now you can put in SIM of any Carrier to use,It will never ask for any PIN/Sim Code)

Step 8)- To GET YOUR PDA CID UNLOCKED
a) CLOSE THE MS DOS PROMPT SCREEN(Black Screen on your Monitor)BY HITTING 'Q' ON YOUR KEYBOARD (Watch at the black Screen,letter 'q' will appear written,where it says 'Type the letter and press enter' at the bottom of the screen) AND PRESS <enter> ON YOUR KEYBOARD IT WILL END
b) NOW RERUN THE "Lokiwiz BATCH FILE" AGAIN AS YOU DID IN STEP(5a)-DOUBLE CLICK THE MS DOS BATCH FILE NAMED 'Lokiwiz' (3kb)...
c) YOU WILL SEE THE MS DOS PROMPT SCREEN(Black Screen) ONCE AGAIN WITH THE SAME OPTIONS AS IN STEP(6).....
d) THIS TIME HIT THE 'C' KEY ON YOUR PC KEYBOARD (Watch at the black Screen,letter 'c' will appear written,where it says 'Type the letter and press enter' at the bottom of the screen) AND PRESS <ENTER> ON YOUR KEYBOARD...YOUR PDA WILL REBOOT UPON COMPLETION !!!

(WAIT!! For your PDA to fully REBOOT This will get your PDA 'CID' unlocked,Now you are ready to UPGRADE to any WM6 ROM)

Step 9)- CLOSE THE MS DOS SCREEN BY HITTING 'Q' ON YOUR KEYBOARD AND PRESS <ENTER> !!!




NOW,If you have completed all the steps accurately,your Scott free,GO kick some ass and fire up some WM6 Roms,be happy on your achievement and always be obliged to this wonderful FORUM !!!!!

(if your Pocket PC Phone does NOT reboot each time, you didn't do it right! DO ALL THE UNLOCKING STEPS AGAIN STARTING FROM STEP 5 TILL STEP 9)




Hope this will help you, GOOD LUCK

THANKS !
It was just the reproduction of the original guide by Dr.puttingham put in a way how actually perform all the steps with a perspective view of a layman's mind.
I'm glade it helped him to understand and get it done for which he was trying for months and cudn't get it done.
Hope it helped you and many others,
