I have and XDA on o2, and I am trying to unlock it with the serial cable bought from Moonlight.
I enter bootloader mode and it just keeps saying
"scanning for Com8 port"
and nothing happens..
I have read earlier threads where the com port maybe in use
How can I check if it is in use as I dont have Active Sync on my PC
I hope someone can help me

Hi XDA Developers,
I was tryingto unlock my XDA with tool but it keeps say " looking for XDA in boot loader mode"
I have it in bootloader mode v5.15 , i bought a serial sync cable from o2, but no joy.
I tried to connect with Hyper-terminal, but nothing comes up.
How do I find my radio & ROM versions?
in hyper-terminal my settings are 115200,8,n,1 what should flow control be?
Thanks for your help
Make sure no other program is accessing your COM port. One well-known program holding your COM port might be active-sync. In File->Connection Settings... uncheck "Allow serial cable or intrared connection on this COM port".
Another cause might be (at least it occurred with me) a Nokia synchronization program. It also holds the COM port.
If you can connect with Hyperterminal (115k2, 8N1, no flow control) XDAmanipulator also will connect...

hi to everyone,
i have a locked-SIM t-mobile phone edition which i tried to unlock using a serial cable & the manipulator.
the problem is that the manipulator can't find the device after scaning COM port.
i have checked that the port is not blocked by any program including the synchronization programs but there was no luck.
anybody knows what is the problem in my situation?
Be sure to press SIMULTANEOUSLY both power button AND reset with your stylus. This will bring your T-Mobile to WALLABY mode. After the screen reads GSM OK, connect the cable to your phone and PC and run manipulator.
This should work. I have the same T-Mobile and it worked with mine.
There have been posts with reports where people have had problems connecting to the pda because they have been using a laptop...
I unlocked mine on a SONY VAIO laptop successfully.
hi again,
i have tried the exact steps for unlocking but still the device wans't detected by the manipulator.
the synchronization program also can't detect the device if it is pluged using the serial cable.
could anyone please help me? i couldn't use the phone since 1 month.
Try 75656354
Wasn't there in any thread the hint to uninstall ActiveSync to get the manipulator to work?!?!
Search here in the forum. It wasn't posted as long time ago.
Or just try it when you uninstall.
I ment that there was a problem because active sync wants to connect to the XDA/MDA when connecting it to the serial....

Remember you must have the XDA in bootloader mode.
I followed instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=244549), and I executed 3.17.03_ENG.exe after xdaunlock.exe failed.
My device is now unusable, some error occured regarding usb connection and now all I have on pocket pc is upgrading bar with 0%.....cant reset cant do anything?!?
Please help!

hello again ,,to jay05 thxs for replying back but u dont seem to understand what i am saying i will say it more clearly hopefully someone can help ,
ok there is no bootloader on the device its been erased when i do a hardreset nothing happens so can someone please tell me how to put back the bootloader on the device ,,its impossible via sd card and when i connect it via usb cable all i get in my device manager is a usb device as"HTC USB SYNC"
ok so there must be software that can somehow flash this pda as the computer recognises it as a htc usb sync ,,i done a search on google and found several software that runs on similar setups like the treo but none for wallaby so please someone there must be a way to upload the bootloader back to the device via usb cable pls someone help me out i also tried the xda developer tool pnewbootloader no use nothing happens
there must some kind of special HTC software that can flash the chips on the pda similar to the jtag technique but thru usb as again i repeat my comp sees the pda as a htc usb sync
i hope someone can help
many thanks and a happy new year

ok,
If there's a connectivity problem,there are a couple of things to verify it.First which windows are you using,if its winvista,you'll have problems,activesync doesn't work with vista,secondly its not recommended to work on vista.So get on with winXP and also get Activesync version 4.5 the latest.In activesync check the option 'allow usb connections' and in your phone goto settings---> connections and 'uncheck' 'establish all network connections' or something and then try to establish activesync connectivity.If still fails,than,
2. verify usb connectivity with pc, to do so get your phone into bootloaders mode (multicolor screen) by pressing and keep holding down the camera button and simultaneously push the Power On button,your phone will wake up and go into tricolor screen (Bootloaders mode)with ipl/spl showing in red colors.When in bootloaders,connect your phone with pc via usb cable,if a small usb appears at the bottom of the tricolor screen,then its has connectivity,but if doesn't appears,then you have a connectivity problem,so:-
a. either your usb cable is faulty,get a new usb cable and try again.
b. or usb input slot of your pc is not operating,try with a different usb input slot of your pc or even try out on an another pc.
c. Mini usb port of your phone is broken,get it repaired or replaced.
check out all these options and rectify the problem.
Cheers !
ok just to verify i am using wins XP and i have removed entirely activesync, reinstalled it checked to see if there is connectivity VIa boot loader and still it comes back that there is a usb malfunction is there ANY drivers i might need?
dude dont know about your unlocking problem, would be nice to hear that youv solved it... wouldnt it be nice if this world had no problems? but then saying that this forum would not exist... and troubleshooters wouldnt have jobs! lol
a) Unlocking NO...
b) active sync... Bluetooth... just rememberd you cant get in can you? to connect ia bluetooth?

Since you could enter the 3-colour screen, your prophet would not have been bricked. Check this forum and wiki, try to update it via different methods.
