Minor bugfix for codes with zeroes in certain positions. Correctly unlocks phones which were upgraded to 4.20 while SIMlocked.
Go to The Manipulator page

Dear Manipulator developers,
I have a XDA simlocked to O2 and need your help for unlocking cause it didnt worked by now!
If i hold Power Button and press the softreset there comes the red green blue screen with:
Wallaby Bootloader V5. 14
GSM OK
if i put in my serial cable(bought on ebay) and start the Manipulator..there stands:
GSM turn on
already on restet....
and then it disappears and there stands:
"GSM turn on
sucsess..
ok but in the software there stands :
Status: ready
sidlock : <none>
Gidlock: <none>
IMEI: some numbers
keep first 8 digits is hooked
call timers: zero
no reset button anymore cause i pressed it allready!
if i startet the program the first time there was no "unlock button" just reset button..
now there is notthing to press??
what must i do?
if i start this software it founds the xda on com 1!so everything seems to work!??
please help me!
greets
Daniel
PS: i can change the numbers in the field "IMEI" but that is dangerous or not my imei is my phone id!?
oh what might be important:
i have not done an "autokonfiguration" for O2 network..cause this is downloading the smart menu stuff thet i dont wanted..
have i to do this autokonfiguration to use the manipulator correctly?
or has it nothing to do with the autoconfiguration of my mobile phone?
please help me i am as far as before!
PS:i think this Forum is getting too big..maybe the chifs of this great site could make categories for the forum?!
like "tecnical questions-hardware questions-software questions and so on..
one more question..
if u read my post above u see that i am trying to unlock my simlock on O2..but now..i thought about it..what is if this what stands there (simlock : <none>) is correct!!?? i dont have a simlock?!maybe..look i can use a D2 simcard..all works fine but!:if i loose networksugnal..i have to turn off an on again the mobile..cause otherwise it would stay without neworksignal the whole day!..my question:do i have a simlock??
or wouldnt it be able to use any other card if i had a simlock to O2?
pleas help!

From the above I would conclude your phone is indeed not SIMlocked, but you are experiencing problems related to Radio Stack version 4.14. The answer is to upgrade to 4.16 or 4.17, which both exist and are floating around, but haven't been offered as official upgrades yet.
But if i put my xda in bootloader moder there stands version 5.14!
if i reet it normaly there stands 3.14? which is my radio version?
wher can i get a new one for germany?
can i upgrade via dockingstation?
Version numbers
There is a whole bunch of version numbers associated with the XDA:
The Microsoft PocketPC OS version
The HTC software version (3.00.01 through 3.15.something)
The Radio Stack version
The protocol bytes
The Wallaby Bootloader version
Each version number represents the version of some different part of the software. Your bootloader is a separate thing with a separate version number, not related to the rest of the ROM. Your bootloader could well be present before the device gets a plastic casing and is told whether it's going to live a life as an O2 XDA. a T-Mobile MDA or a Siemens SX56.
A certain HTC version will be built based on a certain release of the PocketPC OS, with all the HTC specific drivers and additional (O2 or T-Mobile) related programs added.
The Radio Stack version depends on the software loaded into the GSM part of the device, and can vary independently from the OS. There's different versions depending on whether its a 900/1800 (Asian/European) or 900/1900 (American) phone.
ok but where can i get a update for a german xda?can i get it free without paying in an O2 shop?
Where can updates been found?and how do i upgrade my rom version?

Look here: http://www.genion.de/genion/hilfe/more/
then Hilfe, thne FAQ check XDA
We currently have two clues which seem to indicate there may be a problem unlocking Radio 4.20. Specifically, there may be a problem with the %UREG command.
Please note that this is as of yet unconfirmed. However, we would at this point advise anyone upgrading to 4.20 to unlock before upgrading.
It would help if we had an RSU package for Radio 4.20, so we could look at the ROM and see what happened. Was Radio 4.20 part of any of the upgrades out there?
Also: I'd like to hear any and all stories concerning the use of The Manipulator on Radio 4.20.
Hi chaps
Thanks for this post! I was getting worried it was me sat here!
Can I be of assistance in some way with my 4.20 Radio XDA - can I offload and upload you a copy of the RSU info you require???
If so, let me know what to do and I am more than willing to help.
Regards
Rog
Sorry I hadn't logged in. The above post was from me.
Rog
My XDA came with Radio version 4.20.00 and ROM version 3.16.32 ENG
I will have an SD card soon so I can send any files from my XDA to you. As long as you tell me how to do this.
I would like to unlock mine and change the IMEI code on it as well but as i am not an experienced user i am not willing to try it first until it has been confirmed that this definately works with my ROM and Radio versions.
By the way
what is a RSU package??
RSU
I have the RSU for 4.20 if you would like it.

RSU is the Radio Stack Utility.....
The "Programm" that is needed for the Phone Functions.

The same problem seems to exist once the QTEK ROM/Radio upgrades have been installed on an XDA. The XDA is working perfectly, but XDA-Manipulator isn't accessing anything...it just reports errors.
can you still use hyperterminal to access the XDA and find the unlock code?
NO, hyperterminal and dualser command doesn't work.
We await progress! - Have the developers got hold of Radio 4.20 to play with yet I wonder??
Rog
Is there anyway to take the BIOS back to an earlier version?
Not unless you can get the existing commands to work.
Bit of a chicken and egg situation here! Without dualser UREG function you cant do anything. Therefore you cant get back to an earlier version either!
Rog
I have a couple of these phones with this version (4.20) on them, tried them all with Manipulator 1.02 but all wouldnt work, im willing to "test" any new methods of unlocking them, if anyone has any ideas let me know, i'll be glad to help
We have a 4.20 RSU, and thus we have the image.
We've held off looking at 4.20 specifically, and currently some precious spare time is being spent on looking at the way the RSU upgrade process works. This would, among other things, give anyone the ability to unlock without needing a serial cable. We've come a long way, but some work is still in progress. And people have less time than they'd like to have, and stuff.
You're all due a magnificent set of new tools (coming soon!), and some further explanations and documentation regarding the inner workings of the Radio Interface Layer (RIL), and more.
Stay tuned...
Talk about whetting the appetite!
We await with eager anticipation and an offer of help if you need it.

Is there any idea of release date to support the unlocking of the 4.20 Radio

Hi All,
I have been reading the Forum for about 2 months before having my 32MB RAM o2 XDA (U.K.) in hands.
As I am no developer but have some experience with WinCE since its first Habdheld appearance, most posts are Greek to me!
I intend to use my XDA with Vodafone-Greece, but first have to SIM unlock it!
ROM: 3.12.07 ENG
ROM date: 08/13/02
Radio: 4.06
Protocol: 32S54
PW10A1
Questions:
1) How to simply unlock it (USB cradle & OS Win XP Pro)?
2) First upgrade and then unlock or vice-versa?
3) Upgrade to previous to last (v3.17 + 4.21) o2 versions? Have read reports of problems with these. Any link to the older ones?
4) Mind you, I have no idea how to resolve any possible problems with Jeff's SE ROM 1.1 which is on my HDD!!!
5) Local settings to be applied afterwards, manually (?)
Deep Waters ahead ?
THX for any help,
Gear
No really deep waters, I guess.
Just run Jeff's SER exe, it should go in fine, and that makes the PDA part much nicer, and it's pretty risk-free. It will notice, upon cold-boot, that you need unlocking, and offer to do it for you.
We always advise against upgrading the phone part unless you're having some problem, since there seem to be risks associated with the process. Having said that, 4.06 is old, and it's likely you'll be happier with 4.21, but that's your own call. Be sure to upgrade the phone after unlocking, just in case. (there are reports of the unlock not working on 4.21, we haven't had time to look into it.)

Many thanks! I have to wait for my Hasigawa SD card though before proceeding.
Better be safe than sorry...

Ok - unlicking XDA Mini with the tool by Lokiwiz (that is when I can get active sync to work) - update, just put my orange sim in the XD a mini and it works - so it must be unlocked - yippee
Then I would like to know - has anyone and flashed the ROM with say the 9100 Rom and if so - can they post some guidelines. There seems to be alot of posts on this but alot seem to be be confused with other questions aswell.
Thanks

hope this helps
Kerry
do a search for Hermes wm6. look for "hermes" beside each listing. Wont say 8525 wm06 because ANY "hermes" rom will work on your 8525. You MUST read the wiki about upgrading before you upgrade and PLEASE, PLEASE hard spl your device..... Happy upgrading
make sure it's unlocked and have fun...it's not hard at all.....Just make a back up first and all will be great....
Readt his and follow all the steps to the letter, and all will be well
http://www.pocketpcaddict.com/forum...-unlocking-cid-unlocking-wm6-your-8525-a.html
Ok yet another cut and paste from xda-developers - Xda-developers this is mostly from POF and the WIKI so please dontate to POF and xda-developers - Xda-developers if you use this or find it usefull. No need to donate to me but if you do I will just spit the donation between the two. This is freeware but doesnt mean you shouldnt donate if you use the software.
Ok original thread can be found here
Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker *New* version v3a - xda-developers
Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker *New* version v3a
This is a patched radio ROM that can be used to remove the Operator SIM lock and CID lock from HTC Hermes based telephones. This new version also includes HardSPL patched bootloader to show always as SuperCID and allow to flash unsigned code.
It can be used in all HTC Hermes devices, no matter which bootloader version the device is running.
NOTE: For x01ht post April devices, see this thread.
