XDAunlock needs no serial cable
You can now use XDAunlock to remove the SIMlock from phones with the latest ROMs (Qtek or XDA-developers Special Edition ROM).
Users that install the Special Edition ROM do not need to download since XDAunlock is included and ran at cold-boot. Users of Qtek 3.16.52 ROM click here.
Using XDAunlock you can also view the SIMlock code or re-lock your phone (using command-line arguments).
[I attached the EXE for easy downloading. Works on any 3.x ROM that has wmodem.exe]
Excellent work! True brilliance
I'll be testing this real soon. All I have to do is find a unix box....or will linux do aswell?
Chiani
a windows box with http://www.cygwin.com/ unix tools will do too.
make sure you select perl and bash in the cygwin setup tool.
xda unlock
i have recently downloaded the xdaunlock.exe and transfered it to my xda but an error occured.
the error message was: "error getting unlock code"
could this happen because i have the german version or where can i find a data which is working on my german xda.
Or is it enough only to change the language
It says on the page: XDAunlock only works if you upgrade to a ROM which also has the Wireless Modem feature. Presently, this is either the new O2 English ROM, the latest Qtek ROM, or our own XDA-developers ROM, of shich a new version is due out later today. Given the number of irritating issues some people are experiencing, you may want to wait for the new one, which will fix all these issues.
Special Edition ROM now official unlocking method
I've updated the Manipulator page to say that we no longer advise anyone to download The Manipulator unless they already have a serial cable and need to reset call counters or change IMEI on pre 4.20 phones.
Installing the Special Edition ROM is the preferred method for unlocking from now on. Sell your XDA serial cable company stocks today.
Just use this excellent proggy with my XDA which was locked to O2 took 2 seconds to unlock with just this proggy and its now unlocked to all networks, GREAT JOB Guys thx

Great, I love detailed error reports.
Avri: I think the moderator of your forum has already contacted us. If you're the same person, you probably have 'no signal', right?
If so: did you mess with the 'GSM band' tool under 'Programs'? If you did, just set it 900/1800, possibly soft-reset your phone afterwards (stick the stylus in the big hole on the bottom left) and you should be fine. Let us know if that is not it, or if you're a different person altogether. But please, please, please, do not come back saying:
It still doesn't work. Please help.

Instead: provide detailed descriptions of why and how precisely "it doesn't work".

Hi
Yes I am the sane person.
I didn't sleep for 2 nights I read a lot in this forum.
I tried what you said I get i bandswitch current 900/1800
but I still get NO SIGNAL.
I wroth before that I have T-Mobile PW10B1 model.
Please help this phone cost in Israel about $1,700
regards
avri
If the provider you're trying to connect to is on 1800, chances are things will not work. Major consensus narrative at this time is that at least the filtering for this phone is not set to a wide-enough range to make it a true tri-band phone, even if it might work in some sporadic cases.

simple onlocking process
WARNING THICKO ALERT!!. I am referring to myself here I have looked at the various postings on unlocking but cant seem to get my head round what is required to unlock my XDA. I have just received a second hand O2 locked 32MB XDA it came with two USB cradles and all the other stuff. Can anyone please tell me is there a simple way to have it unlocked without sending it off. There are many references to the unlocking progam on here but no direct link to it. I would like to be sure that the unlocking process is simple and relativley risk free can anyone offer any help maybe an already created ROM or whatever it is that is required? If the file is largish please send it to [email protected] this is my broadband email address and can accept large files.
Cheers Sean :shock:
*nix (or cygwin) is needed when you want to build your own rom, using our mkrom tools.
you can find xdaunlock here. you will need a relatively new rom ( which includes wmodem.exe ) to run it. either 3.17 qtek, or our own Special edition ROM
Re: Thicko Alert: I managed to download the unlocling software and hey presto its unlocked.!!So yes the thicko was apt all I had to do was read the item fully.
Now for another question. Can anyone suggest a suitable method of connecting to the net using my unlocked xda. I dont need to worry about phone costs (long story) so as long as the dial up is a UK one with no out of country prefixes I should be able to get online free?
Unlocking Siemens SX56 ATT US
I have an At&t siemens sx56 that Im trying to get to work on vodaphone in Germany. I've tried the XDA Unlock program, but it won't work because I don't have the latest ROM. I'm not sure what to do from here, especially because I use it with a mac and the PocketMac software, so I can't use a serial cable. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Jake

Yes: simply back up everything and install the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM. It will unlock your device and make it cooler.

Hi
I have just moved to New Zealand. In Germany I enjoyed the xda very much... but here... I have the unlock problem + some others...
I bought the the xda approx. a year ago. Now my questions:
1. Can anyone tell me what to do after another with the version I (probably ) have, in order to unlock the xda?
2. What do I have to configure that I can use the xda here in New Zealand with its existing GPRS network?
Thank you all for your support and ideas!
Cheers
Tobias
The easiest way to unlock will be to install the Developers Rom 1.1. Vodafone here in NZ have a GPRS setup guide for the Qtek (step by step with screenshots), contact them for a copy (I could not find it on their website, but I am sure I have a copy somewhere, so let me know if you can't get a copy and I will see if I can find mine)
Cheers
Nick.
Thank you.
Sorry in advance for punishing those that have read this question uncountable times.....:
How/Where do I install the Developers Rom?
- where do I get it from?
- what does it cost?
- what do I have to do with it?
blablabla
Thanks for your patience
Tobias
it s a free ROM (Thanks to you guys @ XDA-developers) and you will find the howto page with all links up there in the navigation menu.
Everything is explained.
enjoy
Pocket PC 2003
I am running Pocket PC 2003 in New Zealand. Didnt have to change much, just the voice mail, sms message center numbers and the GPRS settings. seems to work well. I presume you are talking about the simlock. There is a Util that will unlock your device view http://xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/
Thats good news... and
I have gone through the plenty of information of the site here... however
Is there any "don´t worry - be happy - solution" around = e.g. somebody has prepared it totally.... and just put the card in and say "run"....
= can I buy a complete card somewhere or something?
I do not have time to do all those things needed :-(
any ideas ?
thx
tobias
Where abouts are you in NZ. I could possibly create you a SD card but I cant promise that it will work.
kewl... that would be great.
I am in the Auckland region. Waiheke Island to be more specific.
I can come on the mainland any time. A very good friend of mine is trying to get that xda unlocked. He is in Germany right now but unfortunately he has nearly no time. I gave him the xda THREE month ago to try to unlock but I never found time. In August he is coming to New Zealand and doing a tour here. So he can bring the xda with him and then we could check it out with the SD card.
that would be cool
thanks for your help
Tobias
The XDA's bought in NZ are unlocked so if you have to you can get them in NZ for about $1500NZ
nono..
I HAVE one... It did not bring it with me to NZ cause I hoped my friend in Germany could unlock it first...
I do not want to buy one. In August my friend comes and he brings the xda with him. Then I would be glad to know somebody here in NZ that could unlock my xda.
Can you do that?
Thanks
Tobias

hi,
where did you get the your qtek pc2003 update from?
I have a qtek but runs on pc2002. My radio version is 3.23.01
and rom version:3.1652eng. I bought my qtek in NZ.
I am trying to get the new windows mobile update but it
is still not available yet.
PPC2003PE
My phone has Radio ver 4.21. And bootloader 5.22. The rom ver is now 3.04.00 ENG. It was purchased in NZ unlocked.
The files I used to put the new OS on the phone are below on one of my old sites temporarily.
R E M E M B E R do not overwrite the boot loader and make a backup of your existing ROM first using the wallaby boot loader and an SD card. I backed up both the CE and BOOT ROM just in case.
This is not an official release and it may contain bugs (Not that I’ve found any, seems to work better than before 8) ) . There were a few regional settings you need to change. You will also have to re-enter the voice mail number +64 021 700 700 for NZ. It may not be compatable with some old software also.
I take no responsibility if this doesn’t work, but it did work for me.

Hi all, my first post here
I am looking at buying an XDA from Ebay, and want to go for a locked one, because they tend to go a bit cheaper, and money is tight atm.
I want to use the XDA on Orange, my questions are:
1. Do I need an O2 sim in the phone to be able to unlock/upgrade it
2. Can I do it with the cables that come in the box with the XDA ?
Many Thanks 8)
So, welcome to xda-developers board.
You were able to wirte your first post, so you also could read the sites on this domain...
Why don´t you take al look at all this threads about unlocking?
1. You can unlock your phone without an O2 sim....
2. You can upgrade to Developersa Rom 1.2 to hget the unlock tool, or you can transfer it via the USB-cradle (or even irda) to your xda, to get the tool running...
Regards
Stefan

Please note however that the XDAunlock program only works on ROMs (based on) 3.17.03 or 3.16.52. So installing a 3.17.03-based ROM from the kitchen and including XDAunlock, or installing Special Edition ROM v1.2, would both work.
Thanks 8)
Hi all,
Sorry if this is a repeated question, but I cannot make head nor tail of the numerous rom versions out there.
I would like to know what the latest Qtek900 rom is.
Does anyone know of a site where this is available?
I have tried the Qtek site, but when I enter the IMIE of the phone, it will not allow me to enter the site.
I bought mine in Pakistan, so there is not really any support available.

Yeah, I've been unable to get my launcher default to stick. Even after a complete wipe and reflash. So don't really have any advice on a fix

Silly question, but have you searched the HTC Universal Wiki and the forums here?
You mentioned the IMEI - Do you need to SIM-unlock it? If so, there's a link on the Wiki to achieving this for most, if not all, the Universal clones out there (mine is an SPV M5000 and it worked great).
As for ROMs, I found Tomal's ROMs to be pretty darn amazing. I'm using his v8.9 myself, which is essentially Windows Mobile 6.1.
Beyond that, I'm just as much of a noobie as your good self, I'm afraid. I can only advise searching, searching and more searching... The answer *is* here.
Hey guys!
I hope this is the right subforum to ask this question, and i hope i wasn't to stupid to use the search engine
I'm thinking about purchasing a HD2/Leo from UK and i've found some offers of 400 Pounds, but the problem is: These phones are Branded and one offer says "Simlocked"
First of all i'd install a ROM in german (original HTC), would this also disable the branding and the simlock? (i'd say yes, but hey, you're the pro's )
While i wrote this i read that it works with a vodafone software branding, but i'd like to have a confirmation from you
Best Regards
V.
€dit: Does someone know if Leos have only software brandings or do they already have something like "T-Mobile" on the front?
Please please use the "search" function. This question has been asked numerous times.
Thanks
simlock is only unlockable by getting a code from either provider or from various unlock websites.(varied results) Currently there are no free ways to do this.
To test if your rom is also locked, try putting your serial into the HTC website, if it fails then the rom is locked to the provider.
However, simlock does not prevent you using different roms. Find your original rom as a backup, then use HSPL to allow you to flash whatever rom you like via activesync.
Have a read of this and this and this too.
Start your search for your original rom here
hey
thanks for your replies
@Ibb, sorry, i guess i didn't search hard enough, i found something after that but i was short in time.
@samsa:
thank you too but i already read that this won't disable the simlock which is important to me due i'm not a t-mobile user. But i already looked up at ebay.co.uk, there are very nice offers too
thank you for your replies

I`m From Holland (I know we don`t play teh most beautifull football atm)

Which one did you use?
