If I use XDAunlock.exe on my SX56/w a 3.14 ROM with my cradle, will this unlock my device?

Re: SX56

The Cingular SIM card will work just fine!

BTW I've never used the stand-alone unlocking tool I've always used one of the XDA-DEV SP ROM's instead.

I'm about to get hold of an XDA II - will unlock it and put it on the Orange network (2 numbers on same device I like). Been looking around for a contract, and there is a new one some people might be interested in...

Rather than buying a contract with free disposable phone, how about £70 for a PCMCIA card (Sony Ericsson GC75 Orange Mobile Office Card) that you can stick in to your laptop (share the SIM) - at £25/100MB!!!!

No bad.

:roll: how can i unlock my xdaii?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Waldbrand:
OLD Post:

So... bought a second XDA, as X-Mas present for my girfriend, its a "O2 Germany" 32MB Version with lock.

Now i got two crandles, a notebook with IR, a 32MB MMC, 128MB MMC, a second, unlocked 64MB O2 XDA, and "http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe" :D

A lot of stuff, but how do I use it to unlock the 32MB XDA?

xdaunlock.exe didn't work for that phone.

So, and i just played around a bit:

Here is what i want to do:

1. Making a backup from the actual fone software,

I inserted the 128MB MMC, selected CE+BOOT, and started it.

2. installing special rom (http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe)

3. unlock phone

Installed That, selected "unlock". Done.

4. Re-enter the backup

Just put the MMC in, pressed Reset, and now it starts.

Is this possible, and - if yes - how?

I've in the Bootloader, but i don't know what Flash Tool i shall choose, CE Rom to SD, Boot, CE+Boot, GSM Rom, CE+GSM...

And how do i get the Backup back to the phone?

A short advice, maybe via ICQ would be nice...

Thanks, Michael.

PS: I read the board at least an hour now, but i still have no clue...

I want to thank everybody here for providing that wonderful tool, for hacking the Soft, and making plans about Linux on the XDA :D

If i should make a Guide, including Images, just send me a mail.

No answer from XDA developers!!!

I have post trhe following question but I didn't get any response, please can some boby answer!!!

--------------------------------

I got a second hand Qtek 1010 with the following charateristic:

RAM Size: 32 MB

Flash Size: 32 MB

ROM Version: 3.14.06 ENG

ROM Date: 10/01/02

Radio Version: T313

Protocol Version: 32S54

Model No: PW10A1

When I try to call, after the PIN insertion, it asks for the SID Password, that I don't have.

Please can somebody help me with this problem?

I've lost myself with all of these exchanged e-mails about unlocking , I'm new in this matter and I would like to know:

Does 'XDA I'=Qtek 1010?

Does O2=XDA II?

If a procedure that is OK for 'XDA II', is also applicable to my Qtek 1010?

Can I use xda2unlock.exe with my Qtek 1010 with the above charateristic? If not what to do?

Please e-mail me at this address: shahram@tiscali.it
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
Waldebrand, do the backup as described, backup ce to sd, once you have backed up your rom to the sd, DO NOT write any other data to the sd/mmc card because it is in a special format, you can test to see if it has indeed backed up, by placing the sd/mmc card in the xda, if it asks if you want to format the card it means that the backup is ok, just remove the card after saying no. When you have burned the developers rom, unlocked your xda and are happy that all is indeed unlocked correctly, (by using another providers sim) you will need to enter bootloader with the sd/mmc backup card in the xda, it will then ask you if you want to burn the backup to your xda, once this is complete you will have an unlocked xda with your original rom in place. Hope this helps.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
Sharam, I believe your qtek 1010 is same as xda1, all the above text also applies to you.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] shahram:
Thanks a lot cruisin-thru for your fast response.

Here come some more questions:

Can I use only xdaunlock.exe program even I saw that this only is applicable to a version of ROM higher than mine or I should follow the procedure that you described to Waldebrand just before by making a backup and restoring it later?

If yes why should I backup my Qtek if I am going to flashing it with the special developers rom?

Pls Summarize SIM Unlocking

I just went thru this entire thread on unlocking the XDA and I'm still confused. Let me ask some basic questions. I have a TMO XDA 1 that I'm selling. The buyer would like it unlocked. I'm with TMO using ROM4.01.00, RS6.24.01. I do not have a serial cable.

1. Does XDAunlock work with this software?

2. Do I need Manipulator software?

3. Do you need a serial cable or does the USB cable now work?

I do not want to go backwards and use the kitchen ROM stuff. This ROM & RS is far more stable than anything I've tried to date from the kitchen. I have a SD card reader/writer if need be.

Please advise & thanks. Craig

Okay, I'm ready to cross to the dark side. However there are 2 programs in this thread and I just don't know which one to use. Maybe they are the same but please let me know.

http://xdaforums.com/download.php?id=148

http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe

Also just to clarify, will this work with my ROM version (A.20.17 ENG), ROM date (05/15/03), Radio Version (A.20.10), Protocol version (324e4)? And also can I update using the USB cradle or do I need the "USB to PC" cable?

Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
The first probably is XDAunlock.exe: try running that on the device itself. If that doen't work, you could change ROMs to the SER (Special Edition ROM), which will clear the SIMlock using XDAunlock, which is included in it. You may want to save your old ROM first in case you don't like the Special Edition ROM.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Ultraboy:
Thanks Peter.

I assume my current ROM configuration is okay with this update?

How about the update connection? Can I use the USB cradle connection or a different cable that's just a USB to SX56 without the cradle?

Oaky, I crossed ot the dark side. Now I can't seem to hook up to the internet with my current sim card (AT&T). Can someone please help?

Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
What exactly did you do? You copied XDAunlock to the device and ran it?

If this is the case, there's really not that much that could go wrong: either it works or it doesn't, in which case the SIMlock stays on. Not being able to call with a SIM that used to work is not something I'm familiar with.

What ROM version is your SX-56?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Ultraboy:
The unit is unlocked and the telephone works. I could make calls and receive calls. I can even put in my other phones T-mobile sim card and that works fine. I just can't seem to connect to the internet. Maybe my setting are wrong for the internet connection. I don't know. Please advise

Download xda manipulator and try that with a serial lead if you have one, failing that you can copy xdaunlock to your xda then explore to the xdaunlock file and tap to execute it, if neither of those work you might want to download the developers special edition rom which will automatically unlock your xda.

Peter,

Is the viewing of the code and locking back the XDA with XDAunlock possible only with certain models and versions of ROM? I unlocked my SX56 with AT&T and I never saw the code or I was given the option of locking back. The program made a statement that the device is SIM locked if I want to unlock it and later anytime I would activate the program it would say that the device is unlocked already. Can you clear this?

Thank you, John
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] saracen:
Peter,

Can you be more specific and clear the information about being able to see the unlock code and have an option to relock the xda with XDAunlock program? I unlocked my SX56 with AT&T and PW10B1 using the Special Edition Rom but I did not see the code nor was given the option of relocking at will afterwards. What you write is it possible with certain models and Rom versions or any XDA.

Are you referring to the autoconfig option on the xda with se rom. This is handy but isnt needed, you just manually enter the dialup numbers or gprs info yourself for internet/email access, this makes no difference to the unlocking, your phone will be unlocked for use with any provider on 900/1800.

What a great site!

After a little bit of trial and error I was able to unlock my T-Mobile XDA I.

I started out with:

ROM: 4.01.16 ENG

Radio: 6.25.02

Booloader: 5.22

After a ton of reading here is what I did:

1] Used OSImageTool to save current ROM to PC HDD

2] Used the Bootloader to save "CE+Boot to SD"

3] Downgraded Radio stack to 6.24

4] Used OSImageTool to copy SpeciaEdition1.2 ROM to SD Card

5] After cold-boot, bootloader prompted to load image from SD card

6] 1.2 ROM Prompted to unlock SIM, clicked YES

7] Used OSImageTool to put factory ROM on SD card

8] After cold-boot, bootloader prompted to load image from SD card

9] Upgraded Radio Stack back to 6.25.02

I inserted an AT&T SIM and was good to go!

I was a little concerned that the 5.22 bootloader wasn't going to want to install from an unsigned card ("Starting with bootloader 5.17... So they incorporated a feature called a 'Card Key'") , but it never seemed to be an issue.

Thanks again for all the useful info!
