To unlock the phone from ATT i used special edition rom from this site. Now when i try to upgrade to PPC 2003 it tells me that it's wrong device.
My phone is PW10B1 but since rom upgrade it recognized as A. Please tell me what can i do to keep my phone unlocked and be able to run PPC2003 from ATT
Use a SD writer and write the old rom back to your CD card and boot from it.

I did a cooked rom in one of the kitchens using a T-mobile ROM. I don't like the look or feel, don't have a linux machine so cannot use the special edition ROM.
My problem is my backup is corrupt and now I have created a new ROM in the yorch.net kitchen and downloaded Siemens ROM from their site and when I go to install it it says my SX 56 is not connected even though I look at active sync and everything works fine.
What can I do? :?:
You need to slow down and be more descriptive. Yorch does not have ATT's ROM on his site. How did you upgrade? Did you use an .exe or the OSToolset or the SD Card method? Take it one step at a time. How did your backup get corrupted?
I used the T-mobile or yorch's site to cook a new rom, I have been trying to unlock the phone and thought maybe that would give me something that the unlocker would work with.
I upgraded with an .exe
I backed up to an SD Card and when I shutdown my laptop while on the road some security program andjusted the file son the card so now I cannot restore.
I have tried using another ROM from the kitchen and the one from Siemens website upgrade and both times when I try to install I'm told there is no connection to my laptop. But I can see active sync working and saying it's connected.
Just get the 3.02 ROM from the kitchen, use the OSToolset to put it on an SD Card, and install it using the SD Card method. You won't need to have an active connection to your computer then.
Where do I find a kitchen with that rom for the ATT SX56?
I cannot access Jeff's & Yorch's site only has the newer T-Mobile and the PPC2003.
You will not find the Original SX56 ROM by itself. If you want to go back, download the old O2 3.02 ROM, install it, and then run the newest ROM upgrade from ATT.
I can use the O2 rom on a 900/1900 system? excuse me for my ignorance, but I don't want to fry my machine as this is my third one and I really want this one to work, long story.
As long as you don't update the radio stack of your device you are pretty much free to try any ROM you want. However, the intention is NOT to use the O2 ROM for anything other than having an old ROM on your device that the SX56 ROM you download from ATT will recognize as updatable. Hence, you will be able to put back the SX56 2002 ROM. As always, anything you do is at your own risk.
Thanks, I got it working and sombody gave me an image of the XDA developer rom for my unit and now it is unlocked and works great.
Hi, I am having a Siemens SX56 used on AT&T network and what to get it unlocked, here is my device information:
ROM Version: A.30.09 ENG
ROM date: 01/01/04
Radio Version A.33.02
Protocol Version 1.3.3
Model No. PW10b1
Any help is appreciated.
P.S. I also look for a Image tool can image my SX56 to my desktop nefore I try anything on it.
Unlocked SX56 only shows AT&T and T-Mobile as carriers
Unlocked the phone and when I put my Cingular SIM in, I wind up on the T-Mobile network. The phone only shows AT&T (which the phone was locked to) and T-Mobile as being available. I can call out on T-Mobile, but I dont want to appear to be roaming...
Any ideas?
Cingular uses 850mhz in some areas, the xda does not support this frequency.
OWn experience
Just want to thank the guys here made great programs.
I want to contribute my own experience:
The steps i took to unlock my phone:
1. Download the XDAtoll and install on an WINXP PC. After install a directory called XDAtool will be created under the C:\program files directory.
2. Use the XDAtools' OSImagetool to backuo the rom to my PC using the filename. Make sure it copies to the \Binaries directory
3. Download and execute the the special ROM developed by the xda developers here
4. At the first turn on of the XDA, get the phone unlocked as prompted by the pop up window in the XDA
5. run the command line OSImagetool.exe --register on my WInXP PC. Make sure there are two dashs
6. You must run the above step 5, otherwise you can not copy back your orginal rom back to your XDA
7. Launch the OSimage tool and copy back the file back to the device. DUring the process, the Program A.exe will start to do the whole process. Follow the instruction on this program.
Hope these steps help.
ok, I am seeing all this talk, but where can I find the software on the forum to unlock my Siemens.
I am seeing that it is the same as the one that unlocks the O2 XDA. How does this work, one software will unlock several phones OR am I just lost.
Someone help.
Thanks in advance
Hi!

PRG: 00F00000
END: 02000000
People, help me, what I need to do? :? :? :?
To unlock my device I installed the XDA Special Edition ROM on my SX56 by running the executable. My device is a PW10B1 (printed on the back of the device). Unfortunately, after installing the XDA ROM, my device information says the device is a PW10A1. Now this seems to be causing a problem. I want to get WM 2003 back on the device but running the AUTO update tool (Executable with the Wm20003 update) errors out saying that my device is a PW10A1 and not a PW10B1. First signs of panic.. Ok. So I decided to search for the original PPC2002 ROM for At&T and I found it. But its a .nbf file. So I downloaded XDATools hoping to write the image to the device memory or to the SD Card. However I cant seem to access the device from the Destination Browse Button of the XDATools App. The browse dialog that comes up does not include the "Mobile Device" listed under "My Computer". In my windows explorer I can see it listed. How do I get XDATools to wite it to the device rom directly?
Any help would be appreciated
If I cannot flash the XDA directly using XDAtools, are there some PPC 2002 ROM Executable Updates (At&T 2002) available that will bring my SX56 back to PW10B1?
Try using adaptrom.....

Adaptrom will let me put the Wm2003 update on the phone but the problem is, it will leave the phone as a PW10A1 and not convert it to a PW10B1...I need to convert the ROM back to its original state.. I will try to put the original Image on an SD Card and see if I can boot off that..
Hello. I am new here and I do not know English as well. I have the HTC Wallaby, and I wanted to change the ROM. The first time I managed to download it from the SD card by the Bootloader. But I thought that I would like to have WM 2003 SE. On www.romkitchen.de Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition was the only version exe, so tried to download in this way. But when I upload directly to a device error occurred and my PDA is like a broken down. I can start the BIOS, but it does not give you anything. Previously, when the SD card wgrywałem my Wallaby bootloader start writing WAIT- GSM OK and then and after a few seconds to update the ROM. Now, writes: WAIT and GSM OK and then nothing happens ... Please help, how to upload to the system so that the device can be even Pocket PC 2002.
I sorry for my engilsh...
