3125 CID unlocking hassles

here is the free way to unlock the phones CID I posted there and am sure i will be in trouble for posting asking for help in 2 locations but it seems as if the forums don't move old posts forward to the front if you reply within them as some other forums i have used.

I feel i have totally messed up on this process and will try and follow the directions closer. It states

5. Run Command Prompt, go to subfolder named "build" in itsutils folder, and run pdocread without arguments

I have found that itsutils whatever the name is of the .dll file it creates a file that can be observed in notepad whick it writes its results too in a file called itsutils though the directions for noobs here don't really state that they just say it gives you another file. I see the unique id now. But the directions go on to say use this version with arguments after word. Assuming to use the run command prompt and type somthing in it.

The problem is in these instructions though the pdocread or itsutils050628 was written to be used in windows CE and my impression is on the phone between this forum and the other one listed in the original how to free post it is unclear to us noobies. Other than the fact that the itsutils notepad file on the PC is gibberish with errors compared to the one on the phone it must mean I should use it on the phone. Is there a command prompt on the phone? I must have been running it from the PC though its on the phone yes. Ok so I guess I should run the command prompt from the PC's command line and see if I can figure out how to enter the proper arguments to get back the additional file info.

Help me please if you can. Is there a command line in the phone? Not even sure how to enter it as vista sees it as some other device not a specific drive letter too.

clearing storage on phone would result in what basically resetting the bios or rom in a sense to cingulars settings?

forget it guys I figured out what is wrong. I did carefully go thru learning how to get the final process done to unlock the CID but its the phone that is messed up.

Anyone ever see this happen before? The 3125 has a proprietary port that does all the connectivity including charging. I found that the supplied usb cable kept moving to different positions on the phone and I had lost synch with it and could not regain it finally.

The port itself is loose and moving in and out of the phone and I can see the 2 solder connections have come desoldered. I think it goes to show that a design like this while innovative its not well thought out for dependablity.

I fear the former owner though listed as a barely touched phone with the plastic still on the lcd screens but the leather covers had a stud on the back and worn keychain mount. The stud on the back probably meant it was mounted in a car and charged in there too making it subject possibly to a lot of wear. They must make a cigarette lighter adapter as no one would have this mounting stud on it otherwise but i may be wrong. However anything that connects to this phone via a cable goes through that one port including the headphones so I can see now how this could be repeatedly tugged on unlplugged and plugged into.
