eror getting unlock code - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

When i execute the the file xdaunlock.exe on my siemens sx56 ( at&t) it says " error getting unlock code)

Hi there,
I was suffering the same thing as you did.
I succesfully unlocked mine doing the next steps:
1) Check the version of our ROM, if i is older than 3.17 you have to upgrade it.
2) Download the Upgrae ROM Version from http://xda-developers.com/SER.
3) Unzip the file, and extract it o a new folder.
4) Run the application, if it marks a version error, there is a symbol lloking like a window with a crane, run that one.
5) follow the instructions and you may be done in 15 minutes for most.
That might be all

i dont have linux can i do it on windows ME

Yes it will work fine. Oh and please back up your existing rom first, preferably to sd card.

their are so many files which one to use

i downloaded the compiled exe version of the rom but when i execute the file it says no rom image error 007
I have a siemens sx56 with att
PLEASE HELP ME

If ithe compiled version dos not give you the ROM image, is because, before you execute the file, extract all to a new folder (the file is on a zip mode), it will extract many archives that you need to execute it.
The same thing happened to me, but when i did what I´m telling you, took me 15 minutes.

THANKS
my siemens sx 56 is unlocked successfully

I am having the same problem with my Siemens SX 56. The referenced page is no longer valid,

Yes, you can use the XDAunlock.exe file without doing an upgrade.
You can find it here http://xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/
Good luck ...

problem with xda-developer-ser-v12.exe

hi ppl,
i m from indonesia, i have locked xda with :
rom ver : 3.14.13 eng
rom date : 10/09/2002
radio ver : 4.14
protocol ver : 32s54
offcourse i can not use xdaunlock.exe (to unlocked the xda), and i dont have serial cable.
so... i tried to install xda-developer-ser-v12.exe (i hope i can use xdaunlock.exe to unlocked my xda, and got cooler xda with more application ), but after i run the file, the problem is
"cannot find the rom image to upgrade your pocket pc. please download again".
anyone any idea with it???
and i plan to download :
-Radio Stack Upgrade v4.21 (1.54MB)
-Radio Unit Upgrade v3.17.03 (14.9MB)
at http://www.o2.co.uk/business/productsservices/xda/romupgradedownload/0,,113,00.html
can i unlocked my xda with xdaunlock.exe if i upgrade the RSU and RUU with those?
please advice!!!
thanks everyone
regards
it s work
i wake up in the morning, and turn off my laptop, with activesync connected to my xda.
i unzip the xda-developer-ser-v12.exe to directory, and running start.bat
and.....
wooow. it is work.
i can update my rom with xda-developer-ser-v12.exe
my xda finally unlocked, and can use my own simcard.
thanks xda-developers.
I had the same problem but I fixed it by unzipping the file to a folder on my desktop with the original folder names in the zipped file. It worked fin from there!
Hi Jim,
Maybe I did not get the message right- I thot one should always have used Jeff's exe file from the pc; ie clicking on the exe on the pc with the xda in connection with activesync?
It seemed to me that you guys have uploaded the file into the xda and tried to execute the file within the xda. I believe this is wrong right?
Can someone please confirm that to run any of the self installer exe file (even those now in the famous rom kitchen), one has to run the exe from the pc with the xda connected and not within the xda.
Cheers
Vic
Hey Vic, you're right - The exe from Jeff's site needs to be run from the pc. When I did it the first time just opening the exe I got the error listed above. When I unzipped the .exe file (I just opened it from Winzip) and extracted the contents to a dir on my pc using it's folder names then double clicked the start.bat file it found everything it needed and ran just fine. I think before I did this it couldn't find the files in the \English folder. - Jim
Hi Jim,
Thanks for reply and sharing with us your experience.
Have you had similar problems with one of those exe installer files in the rom kitchen at Jeff's webpage? I like the SER ver 1.2 but do not want certain programmes and it seemed logical to make my old rom. Have you used Jeff's rom kitchen yet?
Cheers
Vic
I did cook a rom in Jeff's kitchen and it works great!! I can't remember if I had to unzip and run the .bat file on that one or not. Either way it's very easy and a great service these guys are providing us - Thanks! - Jim

IS THERE A WAY TO GO BACK TO 3.14 FROM 4.00.16 ENG

i HAVE COOKED UP A ROM IN JEFFS KITCHEN AND I FOUND NOT THAT I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY SPEAKER PHONE ACTIVATING SOME THINGS I CAN DEAL WITH BUT THIS I CANT COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME BRING BACK THE DAYS OF OLD
You must use T-mobile Rom Update program(TMO2003.exe) just like O2 Program A.But you must use Rom 3.14(O2 version NK.nbf) instead T-mobile 4.16 Rom on c:\Program Files\RUU\english\NK.nbf when T-mobile program run on check rom version pass.When you finish Rom Update you must Run O2 Program B(Radio stack)to update your Radio stack program.
I have already test ok. Good luck!
thanks for such a prompt response but you kinda lost me there im somewhat of a newbie so some of the jargon is a little above me is there a place were i can pick up the software i need that has all you talked about included.
Everything you need is in XDA-developers forum.You need to find it.
I have download it all,but the file too big to post for you.So you need to download by yourselft.
TMO2003.exe(T-mobile 4.0016 Rom Update Program just like O2 Program A)--include rom 4.0016 when you run TMO2003.exe on your pc, it will install all file to c:\program files\RUU\
So you can copy your own Rom to c:\program files\RUU\english to instead T-mobile Rom when Program chech the Rom version pass.
Rom's filename is NK.nbf. You can download from jeffs Kitchen.
Open the ROM.exe(from jeffs Kitchen)with RAR Don't Run IT (ROM.exe)
You can extract NK.nbf which filename is same as T-mobile version.
Next time you update rom never! ever! to update T-mobile version(4.0016)because it will difficult to back the proto-ROM.

Unlock SX56 Rom Ver. A.30.09 Eng

I Syncronized the XDAUNLOCK to my AT&T SX56 but when I tried to run it I got "error getting unlock code" can you help...
Thanks :roll:
Backup your existing rom to sd card, install developers rom special edition, this will unlock the phone, then flash original rom from sd using bootloader method.
need to unlock sx56
is there another method to install developers rom special edition b/c i tried to cook up a new rom after being redirected to www.yorch.net but 1st my rom version at&t A.30.09 eng is not listed does it mean i can't do it
2nd i used the 3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro hoping to overwrite mine but i could only create an exe not an nk.nb1 or the .nbf file
from this new kitchen http://xda.weblink.net/ i was able to create a nk[1].nb1 rom made by chosing my current rom version does anyone know if it will unlock my phone
we getting ready to move to an area where att has no signal so i will need to stop my service with them and sign up with another provider ...

Yea use Winzip to extract the .exe then you'll have direct access to the .nbf file! :wink:

i extracted the exe file to a new folder but there was not an .nbf file or at least i couldn't find one :?: :!: :?:
thanks
there is a subfolder named english. The NK lives there.
i found the nbf file i had to extract onto itself
i'm using the bootloader to do flash the new rom to my phone
i'm at the step where the device is suppose to recognize a new rom on my sd card
i copied the nbf file using xdarit
i plugged the card back into the pda
now i start the wallaby bootloader im running v5.15 it supposedly should recognize the new rom well the instructions say to copy the .nb1 file on the card but with the extraction method i could only get a .nbf is that why it's not being recognized
thanks
thanks guys my phone is free .... free as in unlocked
these are the steps i took
someone can do in 30 mn what i did in 1 day
-backed up my rom onto a sd card with wallaby bootloader v5.15
-using the xdarit i downloaded my old rom on my PC
-cooked a new rom with xdaunlock at yorch.net
-couldn't create a .nb1 or .nbf file so i took the .exe rom
-with winzip extracted the newly dowloaded rom onto itself to get the nk.nbf file to be flashed (when i extracted it on a new folder there was no nk file listed, so i went back to the kitchen cooked another rom saved the exe "et voila")
-i couldn't get the newly upgraded rom to be recognized when using the bootloader
-downloaded the xdatools to copy the nk file on sd card (i was unable to pick my sd card reader as a destination -weird stuff) so i did this
-from the english folder Abbas is talking about above i right click the nk file to copy it to SD card and xdatools was launched automatically
-plugged the sd card in the phone and started the bootloader v5.15 and instantly the rom on the sd card was recognized
-press action to download it
-cold reboot ( the battery on/off, erase all)

Maybe they should downgrade their radio, then unlock and then upgrade the radio and rom again. I think that is the new tool cgigate developed!

ROM upgrade headaches

Im trying to upgrade my jammin with the latest dopod rom ..Ive got hold of the romupdateutility.exe which bypasses the vendor id but now when i run the .exe it comes up with the error
'ERROR [240] File open'
As anyone got any ideas as to solve this problem?
Ive also tried the awizard tool but my jammin never seems to reset?
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks in advance
Ive managed to get the awizard tool to work and does reset the jammin but when i go then to install the dopod rom update in bootloader mode it comes up with ivalid provider id error ...... :? :? :? :?
Download and install WinRAR
Right click on the ROM you downloaded,
Extract the files to one folder.
In this folder, you will find 2 folders. You need to copy the files from both folders into one folder only.
Replace the RomUpdateUtility.exe as needed.
Double click on it and go.

You should expect the process to pause at 80% and 95%. Fear not, it will run its couse to 100%.
The new ROM is a lot faster. Try starting and stopping Blutooth. You'll notice the change in speed.
hmmm seem to have a problem where it stops at 46% and comes up with communication error 302 and wont go no further telling me to try a recovery :?

Yes, you'll take them all and put in one folder.
You'll replace the utility from the ROM with the one in my link above.
It doesn't matter what the folder is called.

Custom ROMS Possible?

Given that crossbow is now floating around out there I was wondering if its possible to cook your own ROM for the Herald? I would happily start researching cooking ROMS etc. if it is. Or are we faced with a situation similar to that of the hermes where we need to find a bootloader that allows the flashing of unsigned code?
Hi,
i think the Problem is that Herald is not so popular as the Wizard and Prophet by now....
Let´s ait and see when someone is getting this nice one unlocked !
you are in the same situation as the Hermes.
AFAIK all devices using NBH for rom upgrades, need the upgrade file to be signed, otherwise bootloader won't flash it.

thanks for the answer (not the one i was looking for though!), i noticed in your hermes thread that you managed to get your hands on the bootloader from a pre production hermes. has this helped? should i be looking for the equivelent for the herald?
It helped because it has the commands to flash unsigned code... i don't know if preproduction bootloaders in Herald will have the same "feature", but it may be handy if you can get one too
I can try looking but i wouldnt know where to start! any advice would be appreciated.
Bootloader of Herald is similar to that of prophet and wizard.The only differrence now is the nbh format.One needs to check if awizard work or not?Then we canthink of debranding.I am working on the Bootloader of herald.Will post everything in Wiki.Pls wait for some time

Thanks to aWizard v 1.3 beta2 and POF for making NBH extract..
I was able to flash my herald from 1.7 dopod asia to new HTC 1.8 without changing/touching IPL/SPL.Here is how to do :
1)Use POF's NBH extract and extract the ROM parts.
2) Copy the OS.nb to awizard ROM folder and rename it to.nba
3) From the Lib folder of awizard, transfer enable rapi and certsps cabs to yr device and install them.
4)Now run the batch file and select "e" to enable rapi.
5) Then you can directly choose the option "w".This will give you the option to choose the ROM u want.Select and wait till awizard finishes.
One can also back up the Extended ROM, Splash image, bootloader, Radio and OS ROM with awizard.
It is very interesting that the size of the .nb file extracted from NBH file and the size of the wizard ROM(80040000.nb) is exactly same.
I tried to put crossbow image into it..but I clouldn't boot the herald.The boot screen showed "OS 10.1.00.88
So if some one can extract the things from both the .nbs we can think of having crossbow in herald..and I think POF can do it.
I hope, this helps the members to upgrade and play with their toys.
You Rock
Finally !!!! Did it. followed the instructions and wallaa finally dutch rom Bye bye bye and Hello English Rom.
Thanx Guys you rock
Look'n forward to crossbow soon.
Very nice discovery hdubli!!
Unfortunately I don't have Wizard nor Herald, and I have not much experience in ROM cooking... you should ask the real gurus here if you want to port the Wizard's xbow to Herald.... I saw it was ported to Prophet, but I don't know about the internals of Herald and Wizard enough to say if this can be also done here or not.
Anyway, kudos for your finding!
P.S. You should add this info to the wiki!
well done hdubli, this is serious progress!
I have no experience of ROM cooking, however I have both a Wizard and a Herald, so if I can help in any way just let me know.
Can I update the page pool? I want more free ram I now have 24 mb, nut I really want al least 32mb
Can you help out how to extract my rom, is there any tuttorial? I tried XDA tools but it apears an error.
best regards
1. NBHextract
2. mamaich imgfs tools to extract OS.nb, if it does not work try tadzio's make/prepare imgf with "-hermes" switch.
thanks a lot
i'll try to get the portuguese rom for xda

looking for a bit of guidence here
i have the herald 1.8 ROM as .nba (taken from device using awizard)
and i have the wizard OS I want to use as .nb (extracted using typho5)
now my understanding here is i need to extract the herald drivers from the herald OS and replace the wizard drivers in the wizard OS, rebuild the OS.nba and write it to the herald using awizard. Am i heading along the right lines or am i way off? any help would be appreciated.
i really don;t know but if you have a rom with more ram I would like to have it lol

I do the same thing as you did, tried to put crossbow image into it, and it boot up and freeze at the start screen, so now I have the problem, how to put the old OS back?
I have back up the OS ROM, but my machine can only boot into the tri-color screen, how did you do on your machine, please tell, it will hellp me out.
Thanks
