If you read the related threads (this one and the other one you refer to) you might know that your question is lacking vital information. Such as which tool did you use (there are two). Asking poor questions does not lead to answers.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mbeale:
apologies for a lacking questions.

I'm using xdaunlock software, linked from the front page of this site...i didn't realise there were 2 different software packages to use.

I'm using a UK o2 XDA, with the latest ROM from O2.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] janinnel:
Unlock Successful - Sooo easy!

Just to let you guys know that I've successfully unlocked my XDA II (in about 30secs only!!) and am chuffed to bits, so THANK YOU!!

I stumbled across this site when looking for free downloads and software for my xda and was delighted to discover I could actually unlock my xda myself. I currently live in Northern Ireland and work in Ireland, so I have lots of different sim cards, but noteably one O2 UK (contract) and one O2 IRL (Pay n Go)....untill reading this site I'd given up on transferring my O2 IRL sim card into the xda and using it during the day when I'm at work. When I first put the O2 IRL sim card in the xda it said sim locked, and I assumed it would be pricey, if not impossible, to unlock the xda, so didn't bother tryin...the result was that I've had to carry around a second phone in work during the day, and block any incoming calls and internet access on my xda during the day as it would have been like an international call for me.

I've included my rom details here so you can see what the software did work on. I figure when you've bothered to make up this software and share it with everyone for free the least I can do is let you know it worked and how!

For the record, I simply downloaded the "activesync" version of the unlock software to my desktop (PC); doubleclicked on it there which installed it into the Program directory of my XDA which was in it's cradle; then went into Start>Programs>"Unlock XDA" on my XDA and double-clicked the software icon there to install the software on the device itself. I then closed the application and inserted my new O2 IRL sim and hey presto....it worked!! (My original O2 UK sim card was in the XDA when I did this, but I'm sure it would have worked with no sim in at the time)

So, sorry this is a long first post for me, but thanks a mill for the software and I'll definately try spread the news and contribute anything I can to this site in future!!

J ;-)...one very happy and life-long fan of the site! :lol:

unlocking SIM and radio numbers

hiya everyone.... i am about to purchase an XDA II from o2 in UK.... which i plan to bring back to Malaysia in about 1 year's time....i would need it to be unlocked by then or else the whole thing would be a pile of scrap metal unless i plan to roam with o2 in my home country for the rest of my life.....so i need some help here.......i read that you can unlock the sim on the xda II using the software found on this forum but my question is that would it work for a network provider in malaysia?? and secondly, what is all those radio number and other numbers which was posted by others in relation to the unlocking of the xda II?? i know it has some connection to the unlocking of the phone but does anyone care to enlighten me about what do those numbers represent and also how do i check for those numbers when i make my purchase??? thanks a bunch...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W4XY:
Re: unlocking SIM and radio numbers

Yes, it is not provider dependent. Although there might be other issues unrelated to locking that might prevent a phone from working. (old SIM card, blocked IMEI number etc.) in other words: no guarantees.

The ROM version can be checked by going from the Start menu to Settings -> System -> Device Information. The information regarding supported Radio ROM versions can be found in the first posting of this thread.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] myhelipad:
I have install xda2unlock-v2.2.exe on my xda II specfication as my signature.

Question: How do I check is that xda2unlock-v2.2.exe is correctly install.

TQ
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W4XY:
If you mean 'Did the program get on my device' you should check the location where you put it. When you use the installer over activesync, then it should be visible under Start -> Programs as 'Unlock XDA'.

If you mean 'Did it work', then the only way is to see if a SIM from another provider works in your phone. If it did not work it will pop up a box to enter an unlock code. If it does not pop up such a box, but the SIM does not work either, then there is another problem. This could be all sorts of things: the IMEI is blocked, you have an old SIM (wrong voltage) etc.

After you succesfully ran the program there is no need to keep it any longer. You can remove it after use.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] handsomeofkl:
thanks alot...... but regarding the old sim and blocked IMEI, those are network dependent right??? would i be able to use a blocked IMEI phone in another country?? what does the ROM version means?? and i hope you can explain to me what is this activesync thing??but i did read that you would still be able to unlock the XDA II using the USB cable rite??

once again thanks to W4XY.... thanks alot....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W4XY:
No idea. Everything is possible.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] myhelipad:
I didn't see 'Unlock XDA' on my xda II visible under Start -> Programs, is mean I got to reinstall or not xda2unlock-v2.2.exe

i just have a question regarding warranty issues... if i return the previous setting of being locked to a specific carrier, would there be any logs that i unlocked the phone and thus absolutely void the warranty?

is there any specific procedure to return the network lock?

Just received my new Xda II and googled to this forum.

So I installed Active Sync, downloaded the xda2unlock-setup-v2.2.exe and copied it to the Xda II. When executing it (clicking on it), I receive the error message "... is not a valid Pocket PC application".

Anyone knows how to fix that? Must be something fairly basic, but as I said: I've had the gadget only for a few hours now...

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MadPAM:
Looks like I found the solution...the file needs to be executed on the PC and not the Xda II!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wolf_man:
Flight mode means the "radio" part of the XDA is turned off, basically the phone functionality, but the pocket pc part remains active.

This is mainly due to the fact that airlines do not allow the use of cellular equipment on board a flight, but some do allow use of pocket pc's etc

Unlocking XDA2 with TomTom3... a Problem!

Rom 1.66.oo WWE

RomDate 02/20/04

Radio Version 1.10.00

Protocol 1337.18

ExtRom 1.66.209

Well all went very well, unlocked everything So you would think that is the end of it, plain sailing..... Umm NO ! when you go to use TOM TOM3, it asks you to activate put in the activation code, only this time its another code. I think they must lock the software into the sim card, this means you can not use a work sim and a personal sim in the same phone and use the Tom Tom 3 (also the POI warner).

So when I put back in the o2 sim, it went through a reinitialisation, wiping the phone clean (although still unlocked) BUT when you go to restore, you have to rename the phone as the activesynk think the phone is not the same one. Then you cant restore unless you use explorer to change the diorectory name to match the new phone name.

SO although Ive unlocked the phone, still got to go to O2 if I want to use the tom tom 3 etc.

O2 sim keeps resetting the phone once its returned

This is really strange, had to get new autoristation code from Tom TOm, as I guess the phone looked diffrent to the code. So it all works well..... HOWEVER each time I take out the 02 sim and put in another card, when I return the O2 card it resets its self, and I have to restore the phone. Tis a pain !

Unblocked 2 XDA's with the 18kb file - after a softboot

Hi,

Bought 2 XDA's today.

First I downloaded the 14.4kb file ( *v2.2-unlock.exe file) and manually (via active syn), transferred the file to the XDA (which was in the cradle).

I then removed the XDA and executed the file (via start---programs--file explorer----click on file). It did not work. I got the message that there was failure in moden connection and AZT terminal problem of some sort.

I then downloaded the 18kb file ( v2.2.setup-unlock.exe file), which transferred automaically to the XDA (which was back in the cradle!). I then ran this file - no good. Still got the same erro to do with erro connecting with AZT terminal.

I did a softbook (using the stylo press through the hole in the bottom left of the XDA - it restarts. I ran the 18kb file from the start--programs menu....a whole load of lines appeared, at the end saying all was successful!. I did another softboot. I put in a non-O2 chip and was ok- was able to call and recevie calls and sms!

I then tried the 18kb file ( *setup-unlock.exe) file on the 2nd XDA. softbooted it and then ran the file - it worked ok said the messag. I softbooted and then put in a non-O2 chip - all worked ok -was able to send and receive calls and sms.

Thank you very much to the developers. Well done. I am indebt to you chaps and chapesses!

Only if you get a popup box asking you for an unlock code it is a locking problem all other problems are something different. There have been reports of certain phones being blocked (based on IMEI, the internal ID) or of SIM's not being compatible. No idea why a SIM would work for 2 weeks and then stop working.

Thanks W4XY - Does that mean time to offload overseas ?

Thanks for the reply.

It would appear by your reply and a few other mpostings i've read, that the XDAII may be blocked in the UK (even tried a hard reboot, and a genuine O2 sim that is working on a friends).

Either I manage to fix the IMEcode or take it on my next trip abroad and sell it.

If these things are blocked in the UK, is there no way to un block them ?.

Have O2 managed to catch up that quick ?

Cheers for any tips you or anyone else may have.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W4XY:
The blocking of an IMEI is generally done when the phone is reported lost, stolen or damaged beyond repair for insurance.

I think the IMEI can be changed on the phone programmatically, but I have not had the time or interest to do it. Someone was offering it for a fee somewhere on this board though.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] plaver:
With a a Blocked IMEI number surely no sim card will work, mine works with an o2 sim but no other and when I re-run the unlocked program is says, phone 'unlocked' Any ideas
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] W4XY:
Ah ok, then it might be an old SIM (voltage levels) or bad reception for the band (900/1800/1900) that the tower is using for this provider. Otherwise I would not really know, but if it is locking than it would show a popup asking for a code.

Can you elaborate further on how what you actually did? Would appreciate it if you can email me directly on details and attach the unlocker installer you used in the email.

Also, does a hard reset erase all the pre-installed programs too like Pocket Office, and Clearvue PPT and PDF viewers?

Would really appreciate it if you can help me on this coz I've never done a hard reset on my unit and am planning to do one as part of an effort to fix a problem.
