Subject: XDA unlocked !!!
From: XDA developers

It is with pride and utter insanity that we announce the release
of XDA manipulator. The XDA manipulator allows one to unlock SID
and GID locks, reset the call duration counters and change the
IMEI of the XDA/MDA/SX56/...
You'll need a serial cable. See the page for disclaimer and
warning. Enjoy.

I only have the USB crade and not the serial connector.
Will you be making a version of the SW that supports USB or IR?
I dont recall a serial cable coming with the XDA pack. Where
would you typically get one?
Thank you very much

Hi,
When i go in bootloader mode what have i to do next, because how
do i enter ""dualser'" and can i type something?
Best Regards,
Eric
Even without this tool, some of these things are pretty easy
once you know the trick. For instance, if you just put the XDA
in bootloader mode and enter "dualser", followed by
"AT%UREG?3FE00C,4", you will see the SID unlock code. More news
about all the things we've learned will be available soon on our
GSM research page.

Subject: Unlock: serial only (for now)
From: XDA developers
Date: 11 Jan, 2003 20:11:06
At present, we do not have a method of taling to the modem once
Windows CE (a.k.a. Pocket PC) is running. This has to do with
the fact that TAPI, a part of Windows, has opened the port, and
one can only talk to the modem "through" TAPI.
We're working on this problem, unlocking being only one of the
reasons. No predictions as to the when, so if you wish to use
Manipulator's functionality today, you must get a serial cable.
You can issue some of the commands that this tool is issuing "by
hand", but again, only when using a serial cable. This is what
we meant when we talked about "dualser": this is a command for
the bootloader which is entered through the serial port."

From: ansaar
Date: 16 Jan, 2003 20:47:37
Somewhere you mentioned that OFFICIAL rom upgrade software
sometimes does all kinds of checks on the device before
upgrading.
- will unlocking the ROM possibly stop you receiving an official
upgrade?
- will the unlocked ROM be re-locked via a new ROM upgrade?
Subject: It all works...
From: XDA developers
Date: 16 Jan, 2003 22:57:53
Mitnick: yes, manipulator will work fine with 64 MB XDA
ansaar: Unlocking the phone will have no negative consequences,
and no upgrade will turn the locks back on. It's just like
buying the unlock code from a provider and entering it.

Does it work for the MDA, too? I wouldn't actually need it for

that is needed for the Manipulator?

Subject: FINALLY UNLOCKED
From: ShawnyD
Date: 18 Jan, 2003 21:30:17
After downloading and installing HyperACCESS (and communicating
with COM port of XDA) I tried using the Manipulator again. This
time with success!
Thanks to all concerned.
Respect.
S.
it is possible to lock the XDA and subsequently to unlock again the XDA?
Example: unlock XDA (working) - breakdown xda (obviously it is only an example :? :x ) - :?: lock XDA :?: - repair xda - unlock again XDA :lol: :lol: :lol:
Yes it is: Put the device in bootloader mode, and connect it using a serial cable. On your PC, connect to the serial port using a terminal program set at 115200-n-8-1. At the command prompt enter "dualser" and wait for the modem command interpreter to come up. Then enter:
at%sidlck=1,xxxxxxxx
Where the 8 x's are replaced by the 8-digit code you want to lock your phone with.
Thx !
you are great! :wink:
I've ordered a serial cable form moonlight-tech.com (link on xda-developers).
Can they be thrusted? I've been waiting for like 2 weeks.
You can order the serial cables from www.datanywhere.com
They are in stock and ship the same day.
I'll replace the link with the dataanywhere link then.
More generally: excuse us. We're somewhat behind on mail and updating links page and stuff.

Does the Manipulator works in unlocking the Siemens SX56 from AT&T USA?? I'm thinking of buying a locked one and bringuing it to uuse in Brazil?? Do you think it is possible??
Thanx
Just got my serial cable from datanywhere yesterday, ran the manipulator & unlocked my ATT SX56. The first time it didn't do anything after entering bootloader (may be because phone was turned off before reboot), but the next time went through just fine. Tested the GSM side with Cingular SIM & it worked fine.
A huge THANK YOU to XDA developer

Hi
I'm desperetly to get a serial cable to enable my XDA in Luxembourg. I wondered if someone has tried the infrared port with the manipulator?

I wish to get to know my XDA better and you guys seem to know alot. Although I may not know much about programming and computers, I can feel that XDA-developers have acheived alot. Thats how much you guys should know what you have acomplished. Excellent WORK!!!!
As for my questions, please be patient with me and hope you will able to answer them. Thanks.
I dont get what you mean by simlock? The way i understand simlock, it is when you entered your sim pincode three times wrongly and it gets locked. Is this the same meaning? In my country Singapore, all we have to do is call our provider and they will give us an unlock code which is free of charge. Do other providers in other countries charge you for doing that?
Regarding the Simlock. With the XDA manipulator, I can unlock any simcard?? ie, any simcard that has been locked after 3 failures of incorrect password entry.
Whats the meaning of IMEI? Isnt it like an identification for the phone? If you change it, what are the implications of it? Wouldnt O2 think your phone is fake since the IMEI is not one that was produced by them?
What is ROM? I thought RAM was what I should be concerned about when upgrading. Please try to help me on this one please.
BTW, Why the hell O2 didnt employ you to develop the XDA!! Dumbasses.
can anyone tell me if they have been sucessful in unlocking
has anyone unlocked the tmobile pocket pc phone successfuly ,already????
if so how did you do it. all other replies on this subject are rather confussing and have not clarified my doubts. :roll: :roll: :roll: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :idea: :idea: :idea: :?: :?:

SIMlock is the lock that locks your phone (and not the SIM) to a specific (set of) providers. This is so that they can subsidize the phone and be 'sure' you stay until the end of your contract. You can always buy (at outrageous prices), what is called an 'unlock code' to get an 'unlocked' phone.
This is not the same as what happend when you type your PIN wrong 3 times. This indeed locks the SIM, and you need what is called a 'PUK code' to get back in. You got your PUK when you got the SIM, and the provider can give it to you again if you lose it.

IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipement Identitfier and is a hardware serial number tied to the phone, and transmitted with every call. Whether you attract attention with a chnaged IMEI depends on whether you choose an IMEI in the same range or not. Nobody really checks IMEIs, not even against a blacklist of stolen phones, as was originally intended by the GSM MoU. They use IMEI to track who is using what phones, in case people under investigation switch SIMs.

Your operating system software resides in ROM, your own files and running programs are in RAM.

Probably. The AT command (to be issued at 115200 bps in bootloader mode after entering 'dualser' is probably something like AT%LCKGID 1,xxxxxxxx. But maybe you first have to tell it what to lock to. (But then again, maybe not).
Feel free to play around, you will probably be able to use the Manipulator to get back in...
Oh, Baby!
I just received my serial cable from Moonlight Tech twenty minutes ago, made a cup of tea, put my T-Mobile XDA into bootloader mode, connected the serial cable, started the XDA manipulator, and voila! The unlock button stood out for me to press!!!! Unlocked my phone, reset my call life counter, amazing, and all in less than five minutes!
I got on a bit of a trip and unlocked my colleague's O2 64MB XDA as well, so we're both happy. Both had bootloader Wallaby v5.20, but I also performed it on an AT&T Siemens SX56 that had been sitting in my drawer for a while.
Popped in SIM cards from AT&T, Cingular, Orange, and Vodaphone (all pre-paid) and they all work!
Thanks to the hard-working guys who came up with this tool!!!!

simlock.Insert sim,if you want allow new sim cofiguration,cancel
entering simlock code(SIM-sperre).GSM part is off.Try to call

XDA,GSM part is off.Switch GSM part ON(Antenne simbol) and
NOW-perfect timing-observe GSM part status icon ,when Yx changes
to Y QUICK call last dialed number wait ringing 2-3 minutes
until you see error message ,,Schwerer Anwendungsfehler,,(Heavy

Does anyone know of any apps which can crash a selected process,
this may be an easier way of replicating the bug.
I've tried using Easy Close to terminate the
device_identification process, but, I presume because it closes
cleanly, it just switches the phone off again. I might keep
trying whilst making a call, maybe that will work.
I'm using 3.02 ENG bios, tried the method suggested in this
forum once, but didn't manage to make the app crash.
I tried to get the unlock legitimately yesterday, and O2 said
they couldnt do it until my PAYG card was 12 months old, instead
they (or the girl on the phone) suggested I go to a dodgy petrol
station in Manchester!!! - wonder if that is they're official

Hi,
I'm successfully using an unlocked UK o2 xda in South Africa (GSM and GPRS work fine). My xda is on ROM 3.02.00 ENG, RSU 4.01. I see that o2 has new updates out on http://www.o2.co.uk/productsservices/xda/romupgradedownload/0,,170,00.html which is ROM 3.14.13, RSU 4.16 (boasting 33% faster GPRS, etc) I have read through this forum to try and ascertain which of the numerous updates out there is best for me.. I see though that the o2 update is prone to signal related problems, which is bad for me as I use my xda as a business tool. Are there any recommendations or comments?
Thank you!
Hello Jus
How did you manage to update the ROM and upon upgrade did you have to make any specific country or Network settings?
Dont upgrade the GSM ROM. highly probable that the phone wont connect to the network.

1. Bootload the PDA (hold "On/Off" button and soft reset)
2. Enter the GSM module test menu by pushing the Calendar button
3. In the menu, select this sequence:
- GSM TURN ON
- GSM RESET
- GSM 900 / 1800
In fact the RSU upgrade will kind of resetup the GSM module (or turn it off), which is apparently not suitable for the French network. So one has to set the GSM module with the right parameters...
I guess this is applicable to other countries as well.
I am so happy! :lol:
Hey in the menu I noticed options "GSM 1900" along with "GSM 900" and "GSM 1800"... Do you think the XDA is actually TRI-BAND?
Well pleased for you if it works.
Personnally I put a WM2003 4.00.05 rom and it works well.
I also saved the original rom form bouygue if needed (but it is really a too old rom)
Hello all,
I tried to setup the TMobile "web and walk" GPRS stuff, but without success.
I get a nice GPRS logo (it's connected) but when going to a webpage it says "can't connect/locate the page".
Using my (local) Wifi connection it works fine, but when on the road I would like to use my GPRS connection...
Note : I'm looking for the Dutch settings...
Thanx in advance,

Hey Michael,
As far as I know this is the cab file you need to install for the T-mobile settings.
Good luck.
Hey Panja,
Ok, will try it.... Is't that loaded during (re)Flashing the MDa Vario ??
I just reflashed it using the latest (found here) Dutch TMobile 1.6.2.2 ROM (dated 1/11/05)...
Thanx for your help.

Edit : Tried it, helaas without success !!!??? Anyone who has GPRS active and running in the Netherlands for TMobile ???
Thanx again for you help !!

Its a cab file that was in the extended rom of a Dutch T-Mobile rom.
Its official and should have all settings for Dutch T-Mobile users.
Hey Panja,
Thanx for your answers and suggestions, but I'm still not able to get a webpage or email when connected using GPRS (tMobile)....
Using Wifi all is ok....
Anyone in the Netherlands who is using TMobile GPRS on his/her MDA Vario can tell me the settings... On the TMobile website they don't even show the MDA Vario settings !!!!??? (only from MDA to MDA II and SDA).
Note : I tried all of them without success...
Thanx for your help and understanding

The gprs settings are very simple for Dutch TMO.
Just create a 'Cellular line (gprs)' connection with 'access point' internet. That's all no user/password etc., if it doesn't work it might be your radio.
Cheers, M
