Unlocking Siemens SX56

Hi,
First off, I am clueless, it is going to be apparent anyway, lol
I purchased a supposedly unlocked Siemens SX56 off ebay which is fully functional except when I put in my cingular sim card it says "SIM Lock: Please input unlock code:
SId:______________________"
So....I am trying to unlock it with a usb cradle using the XDA-Developers Special Edition ROM 1.2, & I cna follow all the steps untill I start to step 2 the release notes, it then opens "Warning 001: Power Adapter Not Plugged In Please plug the power adapter into your pocket pc" I don't have the travel charger that plugs into the cradle, is this necessary?
I also tried the XDAunlock but I don't think my system is new enough for that, b/c after I move the file to my XDA using active sync I can't open it on my pocket pc, it says "cannot find xda2unlock (or one of it's components) Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available."
What am I doing wrong...please help!
Thanks,
Megan

Also..
The Device Info is as follows:
ROM version: A.20.17 ENG
ROM date:05/15/03
Radio Version: A.20.10
Protocol version: 324e4
Thanks,
Megan

Looks like you have used the wrong tool. xda2unlock is for himalaya device xdaunlock for the wallaby...
Anyway. i think this tool is not working with your currently installed ROM Version.
For flashing a new ROM to your device you need the cradle or an usb cable, that also powers your device. If you do not have this, you have to flash the device using the "SD-Card"-Method.

Thanks so much Stefan! I did get the power cord to the USB cradle and was able to download the XDA Developers Special edition ROM!
Thanks again!

Another Bricked O2 Orbit, Repair options??

Hi folks,
Take it easy on me, first post and all....
Looks like i made the standard mistake and bricked my XDA orbit
I can get to the bootloader menu but cannot get any ROM to load beyond 3%.
The phone is owned by my employer and I need to sort it ASAP before the IT dept find out!!!
O2 are not interested in helping out as I cannot prove its under warranty and it now boots to a T-Mobile boot screen!!
Does anyone know where I can send it to get repaired, anyone out there prepared to sort it for a reasonable fee....???
Any help appreciated!!
Thanks

I guess you flashed it without cid unlocking it with USPL - did you not read my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306904
(forum rules read read read and more read)
Best option is to send it to imei check http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
they will cid unlock it for you and reflash original rom - and blag it with your boss

220v through the charging socket and ask for a new one!

Thanks Chaps!!
Have read through this forum through and through but alas a little too late!!!
Thanks for your advice though, will keep reading........
220v sounds like a last resort??
Someone else suggested a few seconds in the microwave!!!!
Did contact imei-check pasted response below:-
Hello,
Do you mean XDA neo or exec? If so we do *NOT* support this device at all. In case it is a XDAIII, XDAIIs, XDAIIi, XDAmini it only can be repaired from service centre by chip replacement.
So we are very sorry but we can not offer any solution for the device (it doesn't matter what version).
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team
This doesnt look to good?
Does anyone have any success with these guys and the Orbit?
Thanks again.

I have read posts where they have sent their artemis to imei check - the reponse sounds confused - saying they do not support neo or exec but what about orbit?
I would contact again saying you have an o2 orbit = artemis they may have got confused if you just put down o2 orbit.
btw a wm6 rom for the orbit will be released soon - no dates yet - as its an official rom it will fix your orbit.

There are some posts here of people sending their artemis to imei check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294950

Your device is bricked, if and only if, your device won't start normally... even if you press soft-reset, hard-reset, or even bootloader mode buttons. Usually a brick is caused by improper ROM upgrade, and using tools that modify the ROM. Before panicking, do the following:
Brick Test:
Make sure your device has ample battery charge. If you're not sure plug it in with the wall charger for at least 10min
Remove your battery for at least 1 minute
Replace your battery while observing the LED lights
If the LED blinks once upon battery insertion, you might have hope yet
The only way to upgrade on a semi-brick device, is to upgrade through bootloader mode. No bootloader mode, No upgrade possible - period.
Entering Bootloader Mode on Semi-Brick Atom:
Remove battery for for at least 1 minute
Press CAMERA+RESET(stylus) simultaneously
Insert battery while still holding the buttons
Release the buttons at the same time (You should see bootloader screen)
Note: Failure to hold the buttons at the same time during battery insertion will cause it not to work

Symptoms:
The device is not switching on, not entering bootloader.
(most often after the firmware from a memory card)
React to connect charger.
if the battery insert and connect charger, it orage led must be lit .
if the battery remove and connect charger, it orange led must be flashing.
There is only one way for restore bootloader.
Reflashing flash memory in the PXA272 using JTAG.
This procedure consists of two parts.
Hardware (making cable for reflashing) and software (reflashing).
Hardware part:
This pinouts JTAG of Atom Exec, Rover G5, Orsio n725, O2 Atom, O2 Atom Exec
At O2 Atom (not Exec) is the only internal contacts. Located near the Camera button.

There are contacts inside the device, near the buttons CAMERA,
for access them, you need to open device.
There are contacts from the outside, near the SIM connector.
All contacts is working
For inside contacts need this connector

from First Firmware,
and driver the giveio needed for working cable.
If you have O2 Atom (not ÅÕÅÑ), it must be in the folder jflash_mm
Deleted file ebo_a.nb0, copyng the fileeboot.nb0 from O2 Atom firmware in the jflash_mm folder
and renaming this file in ebo_a.nb0.
Before connecting LPT connector , you want to press and hold
micro button near to the sim connector.

Installing the driver giveio from attached file.
Now you can restore BootLoader (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ame=BootLoader).
BootLoader (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ame=BootLoader) needs to be restored in two places.
Need boot flashing to adress 0 and address 3f400.

Hello,
This is my first post on this forum.
Im new to the Pocket Pc's. I got this T-Mobile MDA II from my friend 2 days ago and that was the first time in my life when I touched the PPC.
I have a big problem.
MDA II is not reading the SMS (''the phone is not ready, try again in 15min'').
And another problem is GPRS. MDA says ''connecting'' or something like that, and nothing happens.
The PPC is from Germany, and I live in Croatia. And the language is in English-Germany.. Something is on English, something on Germany.
Can someone explain what's the problem ?
And another question
I download the WM6.1 AKU1.0(build 19199).
I can't get to the Bootscreen mod, I click the middle navigation button, then power button and nothing happens.
And where is the reset button ?
Sorry for my stupid questions and bad english.
But I need some help.. Please!

Please!
I need someone to explain how to install ROM on MDA II.

the reset button is on the left of the charging block ( tiny hole )
follow these instructions
Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading ROM Image, please wait....',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
Detach your device from the cradle.
Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
===========================================================================================
PS: Upgrade on your own risk

omg this is amazing...
ather90 thank you very much!
6.1.1a16CS (WM6.1 AKU 1.0) ROM is great.
I can now use my camera, use gprs, use internet..
Wonderfull

good that you finally succeeded. now try 6.1.1b16CS (WM6.1 AKU 1.0)

usb craddle or usb sync cable ?
Since this seemed a newbie type post i thought i would continue with a Newbie type question.
I also just purchased an Qtek 2020 and wondered if i need the usb craddle or would a usb sync cable do for rom upgrade.

This is also my 1st post here. But I'd been monitoring the xda-developer forums for a long time. I spend more time reviewing posts rather than posting in forums. Anyways I think I can help. Here's the answer to your question: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaBootloaderSdCardFlashing. You can also use the search function provided by this website to search for topics that you need.

Thanks for the link which lead me to bootloader info below
"you can connect to the bootloader, either via a serial cable, and use a terminal program like hyperterm. or via usb, and use mtty. make sure you have disabled the serial or usb connection in activesync, before trying to connect to the bootloader."
So i am guessing its both USB CABLE or USB CRADLE got i just purchase one on Amazon for 90 pence

i tried to bootload my xda and it keeps bringing me to the windows mobile screen with no serial words on top...
i have a o2 xda mini that runs WM2003 SE and would like to upgrade with the WM6.. is it possible??
can someone please help
thanks

HTC Hermes JTAG pins

Hi,
it's done!!!
Today i discovered the JTAG pins of HTC hermes.
My device got bricked and was not able to boot anymore. Not even the bootlader came up.
Anyway i decided to do some investigation, there was nothing to loose
Thanks to Lt.Cmdr.Ivan who discovered the JTAG pins on the universal hardware.
(It made the step successful!!!)
See the attachment!
(had to make a zip because high-resolution pix )
These are the testpoints to access Hermes main system Samsung MPU and recover OS bootloader!
To get access to the GSM chipset please have a look in the second post!
You may use this package to access the platform.
http://210.118.57.197/Products/Semi...or/ARM9Series/SC32442/JtagFlash_Prog_Code.zip
EDIT: If the link is not working, see attachment (backup package form samsung site, source code included)
See the documentation in the archive for information how to build a LPT adaptor, to use this software!
EDIT: The software tool has been modified to handle the /WP issue.
See attachment MSP_HERM.zip!
What ever happens to IPL/SPL on your device, it can be recovered quite easily now, using the JTAG method!
EDIT: Added Olipro's 2.10 (Hard-SPL V7) for completeness.
This is a pure binary file, ready to flash via JTAG. Thanks again to olipro for this beautiful bunch of bits!!
EDIT: Due to the numerous questions of some users how to go through this, here's what has already been written down all over the thread.
Follow these steps:
1. Disassemble your device (link to the Hermes Service-Manual is in the wiki).
2. Locate the JTAG pins on PCB (download/extract htc_hermes_jtag.zip -> look at the picture)
3. Use a very small soldering iron and attach some wires to the testpoints (only experienced users should do this!)
4. Use one of the wiggler clones (LPT-adaptor) to built up a connection to the JTAG pins using LPT port of your host pc.
Please have a look in the software documentation for the schematics (JtagFlash_Prog_Code.zip -> Source files and doc included).
Whatever your adaptor would look like, follow the pin assignment, that is used in the schematic (e.g. LPT pin 2 -> TCK, LPT pin 3 -> TDI, LPT pin 4 -> TMS, LPT pin 11 -> TDO)
5. Partly assemble your device and insert fully charged battery. Check all connections and press and hold power button on hermes (min 2sec.).
Though the device won't start if your bootloader is bricked, this step is necessary to activate internal power supply.
To check if power is O.K. measure the VCC pad (VCC ~ 3.15V).
6. Use the modifed samsung software on your host (download/extract MSP_HERM.zip -> MSP_HERM.exe is a command line tool)
Please make sure that the processor is recognized. If not check all connections again!
7. Grab IPLSPL210_OLIPRO.zip, extract it and put the file the directory where flashing software is located.
8. Use flashing software (MSP_HERM.exe) and try to reflash your NAND.
type: MSP_HERM.exe /f:IPLSPL210_OLIPRO.bin
type: 1 to choose the flash type
NAND flash type on hermes is k9f1g08 and should be recognized
type: 0 K9f1g08 Program
Start page and block must be set to 0
9. Be patient and cross fingers while flash is programmed.
Alternatively you may grab some coffee or beer and relax!
10. Enjoy the rebirth of your device.

HTC Hermes GSM JTAG pins
Hi again,
after a lot of wicked things had been done with my device, i decided to lift another secret.
Anyway i spent some time to do some investigation and managed to trace the JTAG testpins of the GSM chipset on the hermes!
So it's done!
To be 100% secure, this has again to be verified with some software.
Work is in progress!
To solve the "noGSM" issue we need a bullet proof flash tool to rewrite the radio bootloader.
Hopefully we could get the necessary information to do so!
Maybe someday all these "no GSM" devices could be brought to life again...
at least if it's software related issue (e.g. broken Radio bootloader)!!!
See the attachment for the pin location!
(had to make a zip because high-resolution pix)
These are the testpoints to get access to the Qualcomm GSM chipset and possibly fix broken radio bootloader!
Information about missing signals
TRST_N = could not be found (seems to be N.C.)
RTCK = could not be found (will only be needed for special debugger)
Mode0 = N.C.
We need your help!
If anyone got information about the JTAG chain of MSM6275 (BSDL file) or similar info, please PM me!
scholbert

I have used JTAG on my linksys router when I bricked it.
It's actually pretty easy to make a cable for JTAG and uploading a ROM.
Did you actually manage to revive your tytn?

Flash access
Hi,
it seems to work fine with the program from the samsung site.
I just flashed IPL & SPL to my device.
See the screenshot
scholbert

thanks for this ill look into this. im still trying to figure out which part messed up on my phone. no power anymore not even charge light. dead. hardware? i think i burnt a capacitor coz it died while charging/connected to usb. Also i just flashed a radio rom but it was successful... before it died out. is yours the same case that it did not even show life of accepting power? thanks.

i was looking at the schematics and i think i need a technician for that but if i can revive my dead phone using that since im going to try and find the messed up capacitor anyway, ill learn and research.

Congratulations!! this is a great and useful finding

Thanks
Hi again,
thank you for adding a link to this thread in the wiki!
Unfortunately my device still won't start
There maybe anything else broken.
Anyway, the JTAG thing worked very smart, programming is quite slow though.
O.K. but that's the bit banging (i just remember, once flashed an image to the skeyepad and it took nearly half a day using an LPT adaptor).

Scematic
Hello sphynx88,
do you have a scematic of Hermes? I'm an technican and I'm used to JTAG programming. So if you have the scematic and I can have a look at it, perhaps I can help you bringing your hermes up again.

More info
Hi,
first i'll have to quote myself:

Click to expand...

There are some problems with rewriting flash on my device.
After some more investigation, i found out that my device still got OLIPRO'S IPL (version 1.04) but SPL is not HARD-SPL anymore (version 2.10 "Hard-SPL")
SPL was rewritten to original bootlader (version 1.04).
I made some memory dumps using the JTAG tools and compared the output with the binary files.
IPL and SPL do not match, that's why my device is not booting anymore.
For some reason i am not able to rewrite IPL with the samsung programmer.
There are no errors, everythings seems nice, but IPL remains unchanged after programming. No idea why
Maybe there's something special on hermes hardware, that protects NAND to be rewritten per default.
O.K., now that i found out what's wrong with my device, i'll have a look in the programmers source code, to understand what's going on.
I'll keep you informed about my progress
scholbert

...after having a look around, i'm quite sure that my flash is kind of blocked.
This maybe caused by damaged hardware .
If anyone would try to flash some bits to his damaged hermes, please let me know.
This would clear up if the the software provided by Samsung may be used to flash the hermes hardware and fix broken bootloaders.
At least flash content can be read out via JTAG, that's proven .
scholbert

I have bricked my hermes too.
I will try to flash IPL and SPL with the JTAG programmer.
How can I build a bin file for the programmer from an official RUU_signed.nbh or from the extracted 00_IPL.nb and 01_SPL.nb?

It's sad that your Hermes got bricked .
Maybe it will be the first device revived by JTAG flashing.
Here we go:
00_IPL.nb and 01_SPL.nb are already binaries.
Refer to the memory map in the wiki to know where the contents have to be placed.
So you might flash them seperately or build one file to flash (see attachment).
To make it easier have a look in this slightly modified table, it shows the block numbers of NAND flash ( :

scholbert

yes everything worked fine with this tools.
I used this Interface:
Holly Gates' Schematics for the JTAG Dongle

Im sorry to have replied for so long but i gave up on my hermes and have not been checking. ill subscribe to this thread. After crazy searching and one site leading to another i did find what i think was schematics for the hermes. a service manual. it was in chinese and i couldnt understand it but i saw one for my samsung one which was in english and i think it really is the service manual with schematics. ill try and retrace my tracks. cross fingers.

anyway, in my case, the phone died. not bricked. something inside short circuited. it was on and charging via usb then the next thing when it reached 100 coz i was pretty sure it was 90 the time i started installing apps, it just died. no turning on, no nothing not even the rlod. i opened the case and i think there might be a fuse to the left of the charger entry, maybe changing it would simply fix the whole problem. i dont know but hopefully my cpu isnt broken so i may even have two phones.

JTAG flashing proven, my device definitely broken
Hi,
...anyway, in my case, the phone died. not bricked. something inside short circuited.

same with my second device, sphynx88.
Something hardware related is damaged.
I may use the flash tool a 1000 times, the flash seems unaccessable for programming. Maybe the WP-pin stucks to GND on my device
Anyway it's nice to access the device via JTAG, also debuggers may be used
Have fun!

I know what's wrong
Hi again,
can't stop my investigation and like to bring my dead hermes to life!
I started to look around and i found the WP testpoint
So i made sure what i assumed, the WP pin of flash is tied to ground.
This prevents NAND flash to be rewritten -> write protection!
I made some further measurements and found out, that there must be a general purpose pin responsible for this function. Obviously this pin is set low during basic setup, maybe it's done in IPL (after reset all pins are tied low by internal resistors).
The only way to find out which pin is responsible for write protection, is to set some of the GP output pins to high level and and measure the voltage level at the testpoint (maybe it's GPC4 because it's very close to WP).
So this goes out to pof or olipro who already done a lot reverse engineering on this platform
Any idea which pin is used for NAND write protection on hermes????
Regards,
scholbert

RESTORE BOOTLOADER ON Rover G5, Orsio n725, O2 Atom, O2 Atom Exec, HP6815 - Tested

*this is a copy, it is not my work at all* just thought it would be helpful as it helped me restore my bootloader.
Your device is bricked, if and only if, your device won't start normally... even if you press soft-reset, hard-reset, or even bootloader mode buttons. Usually a brick is caused by improper ROM upgrade, and using tools that modify the ROM. Before panicking, do the following:
Brick Test:
Make sure your device has ample battery charge. If you're not sure plug it in with the wall charger for at least 10min
Remove your battery for at least 1 minute
Replace your battery while observing the LED lights
If the LED blinks once upon battery insertion, you might have hope yet
The only way to upgrade on a semi-brick device, is to upgrade through bootloader mode. No bootloader mode, No upgrade possible - period.
Entering Bootloader Mode on Semi-Brick Atom:
Remove battery for for at least 1 minute
Press CAMERA+RESET(stylus) simultaneously
Insert battery while still holding the buttons
Release the buttons at the same time (You should see bootloader screen)
Note: Failure to hold the buttons at the same time during battery insertion will cause it not to work

Symptoms:
The device is not switching on, not entering bootloader.
(most often after the firmware from a memory card)
React to connect charger.
if the battery insert and connect charger, it orage led must be lit .
if the battery remove and connect charger, it orange led must be flashing.
There is only one way for restore bootloader.
Reflashing flash memory in the PXA272 using JTAG.
This procedure consists of two parts.
Hardware (making cable for reflashing) and software (reflashing).
Hardware part:
This pinouts JTAG of Atom Exec, Rover G5, Orsio n725, O2 Atom, O2 Atom Exec
At O2 Atom (not Exec) is the only internal contacts. Located near the Camera button.
http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc23/alex_beda/JTAGroverorsio.jpg
There are contacts inside the device, near the buttons CAMERA,
for access them, you need to open device.
There are contacts from the outside, near the SIM connector.
All contacts is working
For inside contacts need this connector
http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc23/alex_beda/raz012.jpg
You can so using connector from floppy drive 5.25”. (autor vic180)

Software part.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/them...a-developers.com/uploads/RepairBootLoader.zip (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/RepairBootLoader.zip)
In attached file is the programm JFlashmm,
in the same directory BOOTLOADER from ÀÒÎÌ ÅÕÅÑ (ebo_a.nb0)
from First Firmware,
and driver the giveio needed for working cable.
If you have O2 Atom (not ÅÕÅÑ), it must be in the folder jflash_mm
Deleted file ebo_a.nb0, copyng the fileeboot.nb0 from O2 Atom firmware in the jflash_mm folder
and renaming this file in ebo_a.nb0.
Before connecting LPT connector , you want to press and hold
micro button near to the sim connector.
http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc23/alex_beda/knopka.jpg
For example: sticker on the button.
Ground from LPT connector, connecting on ground the device
(using the crocodile connector)
http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc23/alex_beda/ground.jpg
Connect cable to LPT port of PC.
Connect charge to the device
Orange LED is blinking.
If LED not blinking,
Check pressed the micro button.
check fixation the button.
Installing the driver giveio from attached file.
Now you can restore BootLoader (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BootLoader).
BootLoader (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BootLoader) needs to be restored in two places.
Need boot flashing to adress 0 and address 3f400.
In folder jflash_mm there is a file start.bat.
Inside this file:
jflashmm pxa27x32 ebo_a.nb0 P 0 PAR
jflashmm pxa27x32 ebo_a.nb0 P 3F40000 PAR
So file ebo_a.nb0 (boot from àòîì exec) will be flashing in two places,
To adress 0 and adress 3f40000, data send to parallel port.
Execute start.bat, if all right , you correct making cable,
it must detect processor.
If message screen on "file *.DAT not find", press Soft Reset.
the program will ask you «bla-bla-bla» Y/N? Press Y

Thanks in advance for your help.

need help
pls,,,my atom is dead, coz when i upgrade is fail,,,show pls the vidio,,,so i can try at my atom

me too
cant bootloader,i try any way but cant..............

Hi All, I am trying restore dead bootloader on my 02 Atom.
have followed all the hardware set up instructions but I can only get to the point of the blinking LED with no response from the software.
Maybe I have misunderstood the English in the instructions. Would really appreciate if some good soul could give me a better translation.
Look forward to a response, many thanks in advance.

What no lettering on the screen like -->>> V1.0, USB, or SERIAL ..? if you still look like that , it means your device is saved !!!! I also never experienced anything like that and my O2 can live up to this moment ...!!
