I just cooked up and loaded a ROM.
Rom 4.00.11 eng
Radio version 6.18.00
During the selection process, I chose sim unlock as one of the wanted features however it did not unlock and now asks for SID cose when I insert forieng sim card. I have even tried to download XDAunlock but it gives me an error message that it cannot find unlcok code?
What's the solution?
Unlock Tool didn´t work with WM2003.
Cook a Rom with 3.17.03 unlock your phone and then upgrade to WM2003.
Unlock-Tool requires the wireless Modem, that is not included in the WM2003

Can I downgrade rom from 4.00 to 3.17?
Anything special to know?
I would suggest you backup your original rom using sd method before embarking on any flashing of the device.
Nah, just flash the phone at will: just remember that you need an SD-card to load anything else once you've had 4.00.10 or 4.00.16 (both T-Mobile ROMs).
I did as X recomended. Flashed to 3.17, unlocked, then flashed to 4.00
It was a breeze. Thanks for the great work. The Kitchen is awesome.

Try to upgrade the ROM to 3.17 from this site and it will unlock your device with the first boot
www.xda-developers.com/SER/
Good luck ...
I'm sure this is a dum ? but do see a link to download the update. I saw the part that talked about having a box and dont have all of that. Could someone hook me up with the update.

Actually, there's enough smoke and mirrors involved in all of this that you'll quickly learn there are no dumb questions.
First, go to a site that is running a "ROM kitchen" and cook up a ROM, such as:
http://kitchen.romanweb.com/kitchen/index.php
Create a 3.17.03 ROM with no config data and uncheck all of the optional software, so you have an absolutely bare-bones 3.17.03 OM with no frills.
Second, Find some way to back up your existing ROM, either onto an SD card or onto your computer.
Third, install the 3.17 ROM on your XDA. Many here prefer the SD card method of loading; I took my chances just using the .exe with the device in the USB cradle with no problems. Once loaded, when you boot up, it will say "Your Device's SIM appears to be locked, would you like to unlock it?" You simply select "yes" and that's that... I literally had the 3.17 ROM on my device for all of one boot and no more than 20 seconds. Then load your existing ROM or a newly "cooked" feature-laden ROM from one of the kitchens back on to your device and you're back in "bidness."
I too made the journey from ATTWS to T-Mo and with a little luck, and a little help from people here, it went very smoothly.
Everyone here has a different level of experience, both on matters technical and matters XDA, so don't be afraid to ask any questions you might have so you have a clear picture of the whole process before you start.

Kitchen ROM Errors
Hello all,
I have been reading all day on the forum, as am an SX56 owner (former AT&T) now with T-Mobile and want to get it working and unlocked on their network.
I cooked up the 3.17 ROM as an executable, and downloaded the rom.exe file.
Each time I run it, it starts up the DOS window, then the Uploader Software, then gives me an Error 007 Dialog window, Cannot find the ROM image to upgrade your Pocket PC. Please download and try again.
I have tried this three times now, but cannot get to the 3.17 so I can unlock, and get to WM2003 and the new radio stack for T-Mobile.
HELP!!!! Thanks
Hello ..
It seems you do need to try the SD card method. Either to get SD card and reader/writer and cook your new ROM as .nb1 file, or to get a SD backup for the ROM from any other t-mobile device.
Mad Max,
1st, how do you back up your current ROM? Please provide step by step procedure.
2nd, How do you load your original ROM back in? When you load back your original ROM, does the phone get locked again?
3rd, it looks like you've done what I want to do, can you please provide a step by step on how you installed the 3.17 ROM on the XDA using the USB cradle?
Thanks in advance.
How can im flash MDA with SDCARD wifhout active sync
you don't need active sync to use the SD method ... maybe you better retype your question
i have upgraded my XDA I for wm2003 .... does it upgraded the radio stack as well or i have to do that in seprate way ? if yes then where can i get the radio rom and to upgrade it
Press hold power with soft reset, then if you SD has images, it will confirm you to download to upgrade your XDA I, if empty it will flash your XDA I images to SD..that all.....
Try your best XDA I never expire. but MDA = XDA

Sunpower,
If your GSM part is working fine in your device I recommend from you not to upgrade it. Lots of ppl here has dead devices cos of that upgrade.
Make a search about Failed Rsu upgrade and read what happened to them , believe me you wont touch this part of upgrade.
same ramram
don't try to upgrade RSU if old versions still ok.....because now i already have 2 dead xda in my hand ..... i garantee ramram idea.....
Radio ROM on SD - Anyone?
Hi all
I've got an O2 XDA with broken radio ROM from my friend. I also have my AT&T SX56 running normally (with cooked 4.01.16 ENG OS and 6.12 radio ROM).
I've tried re-flashing the dead O2 XDA radio ROM (by running RSUpgrade.exe inside WM2003 or 2002) without any success. It seems to me that a SD radio ROM flashing is a good way to try. But I can not get my SX56's radio ROM on SD card, since the device keeps asking me to connect a RS232 cable and run PC monitor when I try to create CD + GSM dump on SD card, using boot loader options.
Question:
- Is the any way to create radio ROM upgrade SD card, using XDATools or similar tools, and radio upgrading files (those file that come with RSUpgrade.cab, for example), or
- Could anybody provide me an image of such a SD card, or
- How can I dump GSM ROM form my SX56 to SD card, without RS232 cable and PCMonitor
Current soft/hardware info:
My SX56 is running 5.15 boot loader, cooked 4.01.16 ENG OS and 6.12 radio ROM
The dead O2 XDA is running 5.15 boot loader, cooked 4.01.16 ENG OS (could be changed to any version)
Thank you for reading.

Hi all. I appologize for starting a new thread, but I wasn't sure which topic to post under as this problem seems to span a few. In short, here's my problem: I'm trying to upgrade my Tmobile UK MDA Vario to 2.26.10.2 from 1.6.2.4 WWE. I'm using the stock Tmobile USA ROM updater available from the tmobileapps site.
When I run the upgrade file I get a failure with an Error 294 - Invalid Vender ID. While I don't understand why UK and USA would have different locks, I figured fine, I'll use lokiwiz to unlock my phone.
I've tried lokiwiz 0.2b to unlock the CID, but I get the itsutils.dll error (that it can't update the file).
So now I'm stuck. I can't upgrade the ROM using the US ROM, and I can't seem to CID unlock the phone to allow me to use another ROM. The official UK ROM is sitting a few versions back, and I don't want to have to upgrade twice, so that's out (unless someone can point me to a site where I can get the newer UK ROM).
Anyone know what I should try? I'm kinda stumped. The only think I can think of is that I'm only activesynced to this computer as a Guest, not as a real activesync pairing. Could that effect either the ROM upgrade or the unlocker?
For reference, here's more info about my phone:
IPL 1.06
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.12.10
OS 1.6.2.4
Any help or pointers would be appreciated!
Did u install the EnableRAPI CAB in your phone before starting lokiwiz?
Also, i remember that i had to run lokiwiz 0.2b twice to unlock my phone and my friend's one.
So try this: soft reset the phone, install enableRapi.cab, run lokiwiz and then run it again.
Good luck!
bye!
Yup, that was it. I thought I only needed the EnableRAPI CAB if I was SIM unlocking. Silly me.
Thank you!

I unlock my phone with lokiwiz3, but I want to know DOWNGRADE, the IPL 2.25 /SPL 2.25 is G3?
I have a cingular 8125 with ipl/spl 2.25. So I thought i will unlock it and see if i can use my at&t wireless sim card. I tried to unlock using lokiwiz3. It did not work. SO then i read through the forums and decided that i have to downgrade the rom and then try to unlock using faria's lokiwiz2b. SO Then i downgraded the rom and tried to unlock using lokiwiz 2b.- Still did not work.
I do not know what i am doing wrong. But yet, i found one thing that i missed a step, that says ".do not forget to copy the cab file(enable rapi) to your device and run it before running lokiwiz. "
So now i am not sure if the enable rapi file needs to be on the phone or the computer. If it needs to be on the phone- how and where do i ned to have the file at?

This is getting old.... copy the file to your device... i don't care where. Execute the file FROM YOUR DEVICE!!! ( Myself, I'd probably use File Explorer, but that's me)
In my opinion, you should read the various threads here for a while... you're bound to brick your phone, sorry.
Cingular 8125 I can't install Windows
Can someone help me? I was trying to update wm6.1 to wm6.5 and my cingular
didn't work anymore! Now before consult many sites without results I have installed (Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_wwe_novii_cf2), then the 3 colors screen shows this : ISPL 2.25.0001
SPL 2.25.0001
It can't activesync to reinstall Windows!
My cell is HTC Cingular 8125
I like many on here am suffering the bad reception after the sim unlock.
If I run Oli's software right through to Hard-SPL, patch radio and unlock can I then add the Murata radio ROM and the Hard-SPL-V2 SPL to a Custom ROM im making.
So my custom ROM will consist of a OS (custom WM6) a GSM (Murata) and a SPL (Hard-SPL-V2) but leave the SPLASH blank will my Polaris then be still SIM unlocked and Hard-SPL'd everytime I hard reset or load a new OS?
Also can I use any radio ROM after the Unlocker to be SIM unlocked or does it have to be the patched one or Murata.
Thanks
Don't need to flash the spl again only one time and that's definitif for the rest of your polaris life.
Yes you can install a rom and after flash a different radio rom without probleme.
You can change the splashscreen if the rom flash have change it by reflashing only the splashscreen with udK tools.
You can use any radio you want.
So the SIM unlock and Hard-SPL will remain no matter how many times I update the radio or os?
Great. Thanks for your reply
