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 have a Siemens SX56, locked to AT&T.
I downloaded the new 1.1 ROM, (Jeff's courtesy)
and began the upgrade.
It started, My SX56 said "Upgrading It will take about 5 minutes...."
Then,
I got an error message on my computer about com ports not being available, it lost the active sync connection, and now my SX56 is hung on the same message: "Upgrading It will take about 5 minutes....."
Of course, I'm unable to connect back.
Any suggestions?
I'm trying to be able to use it with T-Mobile.
I was unable to get any results by pushing the hard/battery resets.
Thanks!
"COM ports not being available"... Are you using ActiveSync via serial cable or cradle?
If you really cannot connect anymore, I guess you have to use an SD-card and the bootloader method to get back to a working state. But do try to reset the device and restart Programme A., it may just pick up again. I've seen that happen here once.
Try doing a soft reset then put it back in the cradle, the upgrade should restart automatically.

Hi Alex,
The same thing happend to me.Could you solve this problem?
If yes,can you pls.tell me: [email protected]

Were or are you using a USB hub? If so that may be your problem. The SD Card method works very well and very reliably. No comms outside of the device. I found many times whenn trying to do file xfers to the XDA that for no reason in the middle of transferring a file the connection would be lost.
I haven't had this problem with 2003 and AS 3.7.
USB Problem
Hi Alex and Rat,
i got same problem also, after step 4 my XDA screen become white and hang, if you already solve this problem please send me how to fix it this problem to [email protected]. Do you know how to install wallaby bootloader also.
i have an xda IIi an it say's serial v1.01 when i try to put it in the charger it say's usb v1.01 but activesync 4 will not detect it but it does connect to my pc without activesync but i can't install any thing on it. i have downloaded the original software from the o2 website but the installation instructions say it needs to be connected to activesync. what do i do
Hmm...Seem to me you are in bootloader mode serial connection version 1.01 .. Try checking the buttom. As this mode will only come if you press power+reset+navigator buttom.
i have tried soft reset and hard reset but i just can't do anything with it

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
My o2 neo got stucked on the o2 reset screen.After going through this forum i came to know that few others too had this problem, so i went ahead with flashing of rom (RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_ Ship.exe) as suggested. But i am having a problem connecting my o2 with my PC using activesync 4.1 as well as 4.5 as it is required for the process. I tried all the option for connecting it through activesync, but it failed to connect. can somebody please help me with any kind of setting that is needed to rectifying this problem, I have also tried some windows firewall setting but it also failed to connect to my device to my PC. Pls pls pls pls somebody help
Ok, let me see if I understand you problem correctly:
You reset your Neo, and it won't boot past the O2 splash?
This kind of problem usually results from installing a program that runs on startup or changing some vital registry settings.
Have you tried hard resetting your device to solve this? It's simple: press and hold power + comm manager + camera the press reset. You should get a black screen with white text asking you to confirm clearing the device. All data and programs you installed will be lost and the device will return to the state you got it in.
I am not sure why you think you need to change ROM to get rid of this problem (unless it happens often for no operant reason) but if you still want to go through with it (I hope you understand the risks involved) you will have to hard reset your phone first so it fully boots in to windows before you can connect to ActiveSync.
Thanks for replying Levenum,
I have tried to hard reset it but nothing happens, it won't go past the O2 splash screen. I have ever install any program on it, it just happen that one fine day i found that my device was off and when i pressed the power button it got stuck on the o2 screen and remained there.
I have been using this Prophet for past 3 months but i have never ever connected it to my PC for synchronization, could this be the reason for it not getting connected to the PC with activesync. if so what should i do.
Even when it is in the bootloader & i connect it with the usb cable it shows usb written on down left corner of the screen, but activesync says device not connected.
pls help...
Ok, now I know changing ROM is NOT the solution for you!
Now, sorry for the stupid question, but is your device fully charged?
Let it charge for at least 3 - 4 hours then try again - use a wall adapter not USB from PC. (These things get stuck on splash when they do not have enough power to fully boot)
Assuming that is not the issue, since it is a new device I suggest you use your warranty (I assume its under warranty from O2) because your problem might be hardware. If you try messing with the ROM you will only void any warranty you have and then you might wind up with a very expansive paper weight!
Finlay, unless you can get in to windows you can not connect to ActiveSync. There are ways of changing ROM through bootloader, but they are complicated (and I am not familiar with them well enough to help you). Please read the WiKi.
Once again, I think you should send it in for repair as this might be a hardware issue.
i have recently purchased this phone and it is currently locked to t-mobile. I am a canadian resident using rogers network. when i turn the phone on it says NETWORK IS LOCKED PLEASE INPUT UNLOCK CODE. I know this number is generated by the IMEI if i remember correctly..... i just dont know how to go about accomplishing this. also ...my computer isnt recognizing it VIA USB............ i am just so at a loss for what to do ...please someone help
oh yeah the IPL is 1.08 and the SPL is 1.08 when i get to the bootloader screen that is all that comes up

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?
email me privately on [email protected] and i may be able to help you if not ill find a way... a bit lost in the head (Attention Dissorder) cant focus...
