It says that on the page:
"XDAunlock only works if you upgrade to a ROM which also has the Wireless Modem feature."
4.00.11 ENG WM2003 does not have wireless modem feature
So, how do I unlock "4.00.11 ENG WM2003"?
Thanks,
Izzet
downgrade the s/w to xda developers v1.2
then back up to wm2003
gaz :roll:
When I downgrade to XDA Developers v1.2, it will have the XDAUnlock.exe and it will unlock the phone at startup.
When I upgrade to wm2003, wouldn't the unlock gone away?
once unlocked it never needs unlocking again lol however ,mch times you upgrade/downgrade your phone
gaz
thank you
unlocking
OK, so let me make sure I have this straight, so if I had unlocked my sx 56 with the xda-developer's 3.17 special edition rom, then later reimaged my sx 56 to the T-mobile Windows Mobile 2003
4.00.21 rom, my sx 56 will continue to stay unlocked?
Yep,
That is the way it worked for me. Good Luck!

yup unless you flash your gsm rom but im not sure....
but upgrading it to 2003 wont lock it again
unlock
Now I am using the rom 4.00.16 ENG T-Mobile US from the kitchen, then I tried the xdaunlock.exe just to verify that it was indeed still unlocked, but xdaunlock.exe doesn't seem to run under the rom I stated above. Is there any other way to check?
yeah put another network sim in lol simple
Unlocking
OK and thanks for all the great help guys, smashing stuff going on here.

Hi,
Siemens SX56 Unlock AT&T Wireless
I would like to know if someone unlocked its phone by himself.
All we read is people from everywhere except with AT&T.
My ROM version: 3.14.03 ENG date: 09/27/02
Radio version 6.12 protocol 324e4
Frequency 900/1900 American model PW10B
Does the Rom Update 3.17 from xda-developers works with Rogers AT&T?
Can we expect our phone to live after that update?
Is the new ROM functionnalities user friendly? Would you rather keep the old ROM version both UNLOCKED?
If you got your SX56 unlocked, can you tell me what you did?
I'd like to have your comments on what you did before I do it.
After spending that kind of money, I wouldn't like to kill my phone.
So let me know how you did it and what did you need to update it.
I expect to get details from you.
Thanking you in advance!!!
try the unlocking tool from www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/
if it doesn't work then try the ROM 3.17
good luck ...
Need a copy of 900/1900 SER ROM image

I tried XDAunlock and it doesn't work...
Now I downloaded SER but I don't have access to Unix.
So if someone would be kind enough to send me a copy of image.
Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I understood from it?!?!
Need a copy of 900/1900 SER ROM image
I tried for a week with all the free tools we have on this site and it's not unlocked yet. Can someone with a Siemens SX56 (USA or Canada) help me with unlocking my XDA ? I need a ROM image for XDA SER.exe which works for Rogers AT&T (Canada) or AT&T Wireless (USA), nothing else. And if you can: detailed explanations how to unlock with ROM image...
Thanks to you...
Why is the need for Unix ?
just try to cook a 3.17 based ROM and flash your XDA using the exe method. it will unlock your device with the first startup. in case it doesn't work you can cook it as .nbf file and use SD card flashing.
Mee too
I tried the steps recommended, it is taking an awful long time to read the first block (like 30') so I aborted it.
Any thoughts? Thanks guys, you are great!
I have upgraded my ATT SiemensSX56 to Pocket PC 2003. Is it still safe to use the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.2 on this Poocket PC to unlock the SIM?
try the tool at www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/ first
XDAunlock
Thanks for the suggestion. That would have been great if it had worked. I tried to run it but it gave me the error “error getting unlock code”. I think that the reason was that don’t have a Qtec 1010 Rom version 3.16.52. My ROM version is A.30.09 ENG. The reason that I put this post out was that I wanted to ask around a little before I ran the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.2 on my ATT Siemens Pocket PC to see if anybody thought that it might cause any unwanted consequences.
It worked for me
As I just mentioned in some other post, I did just that with Wallaby 5.22. I flashed the AT&T ROM to find out the phone was still locked. I flashed the XDA ROM, unlocked the phone and reflashed the AT&T ROM. I can't guarantee it'll work for you but it certainly did for me.
XDAunlock tool works only with ROMs that has wmodem application (no WM2003 has it). XDA ser v1.2 is a good choice for unlocking, but since you are going to reflash the device then i would recommend TMO 4.01.00 for now coz A30.09 has a very annoying sound issue.

My device information :
Siemens SX56
ROM : A.30.09 ENG
ROM date : 01/01/04
Radio version : 4.21.00
I've read all the topic here, but nothing can't apply to unlock my Pocket PC. Can anyone help me with this ?
Thanks so much.
you can't unlock it while you have any WM2003 ROM ... you must down grade to PPC2002 ... SER v1.2 is good for that.
So can't have any solutions to unlock it ?
Cause I doesn't want to downgrade it, it's not a good way to unlock.
down grade, unlock then upgrade again
Hi,
I'm new on this forum and I see that there are very knowledgeable about the at&t siemens sx56. I just purchased one, and I intend to use it with my t-mobile service. It is un-locked with the at&t logo but I would like to sign up for e-mail and internet with t-mobile using this phone. Do I need to update/change the ROM as I've been reading on this forum, and how do I change the ROM to a t-mobile? I would also like to know all he things I need to do to make it run wih T-mobile services. Thanks in advance.
There is no need to change the rom, you can manually enter all the settings for your services once you have them from your service provider or from this forum.

cahnging service provider
thanks, how do I change the settings from At&t to the t-mobile setting. t-mobile will not give me any instructions since the sx56 is for at&t. I would appreciate it if you can provide me the setting or point me in the right direction. Thanks.

First, spend some time reading in this forum and use the search option ... then go to the kitchen and cook 3.17 based ROM ... flash your ROM which will be unlocked by that time ... then cook any other WM2003 ROM to upgrade your xda ... 4.01.16 is very good option
I have the AT&T SX56 with
ROM VERSION : A.20.11 ENG
ROM DATE: 3/3/03
RADIO VERSION: A.20.05
PROTOCOL VERSION: 324e4
I tried the XDAunlock tool and it didnt work,
the boot screen shows pocket pc 2002,
So i Dont understand why im getting the "Error getting unlock code"
can anybody tell me if i need to downgrade first, or upgrade, or what!!
my steps are to:
Get the Unlock Code and also Unlock the Phone
then Upgrade to Pocket PC 2003
Any help would be appreciated!
Sometimes the XDAunlock tool didn't work for SX-56 especially with A20 ROM ... it's better to flash your ROM using SER v1.2 and it will unlock your xda with the first boot ... then you can upgrade later to WM2003
That did the trick....
A20 seems to be a newer version of 2002 and does not work well with XDA unlock...
for those of you looking to unlock your phones out there...USE THE XDA SER 1.2 (Special Edition Rom)...
It will Downgrade your Rom to version 3 (dont be affraid of the word downgrade, its painless) and once it restarts, it will ask you to unlock, and VOILA... you are ready to roll
Thanks XDA Dev Team, you guys Rock...
Now we just need a 850Mhz hack, and us Cingular users will be set
I just got a tmobile sx 56 off ebay. It's locked! Even though they said it wasn't. I am new to all this so my question is if I unlock with xda special rom and then cook my own 2003 rom on http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
will my phone remain unlocked. I need to use it on cingular network. Do you think this will be an issue. its gsm and all that jazz.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
it'll stay locked
and this is a gsm phone so it'll work with any gsm provider. im using the AT&T phone on the t-mobile network
got the code from tmobile..so now it is unlocked. Now I'm looking to update to 2003. But alas I am a mac faithful. Is there anyway for me to do this. I move files back and forth using pocketmac?
