XDAunlock tool works only with PPC2002 ROMs

hi
so what do i need to unlock this xda ??
athers

you will have to down grade your ROM to any PPC2002 version (3.17 is so good) and use the tool ... or to flash your ROM with the SER v1.2 which will unlock your xda with the first boot

tnx for the reply!. does my xda specification qualify to be unlocked using xdaunlock? i haven't tried unlocking some smart phones, its my first try. does it involve any reprogramming the bios or something? thnx!

Just go to
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/UnlockWiz
and follow the steps.
Thats all.
Greetings, Kaputter :shock:

i tried xda unlock, but it says error getting unlock code... what will i do now... im badly in need of some expert help here...

then you need to flash your ROM with SER v 1.2 which will unlock your device with the first boot

I'm trying to unlock my old XDA, I have foolwed the instructions given on this site but nothing seems to work......HELP!!!!!
The device information is as follows:
ROM version: 3.17.03 ENG
ROM date: 05/15/03
Radio version: 4.20.00
Protocol version: 32554
Trying it via the USB sync.
Any suggestions??

Unlocking XDA 1
I have read and read and read the forum on how to unlock my XDA 1 (XDA II was a sinch!) but the XDA 1 is causing problems. I started with the error below and tried upgrading my ROM - getting error messages on not being able to unlock and that I needed W Modem.
Can upgrade using SER 1.2 without a unix box, then unlock all using the USB cradle?
Hope someone can explain in even more simple terms
Appreciate it!

I notice that ser 1.2 works with TMobile in the USA but doesnt say anything about ATT Wireless.
Should I infer that the ser 1.2 isnt a good idea then?
My PocketPCPE is :
ROM:A.30.09
Rom Date: 01/01/04
Radio version: A.33.02
Protocol version: 1.3.3
Unit is a wallaby PW10B1
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Flash your xda using ser 1.2, this will unlock the xda, I suggest backing up your existing rom to sd card or using xdatools, once you have flashed the xda you can then restore your original rom using the sd card method. Using sd card method overcomes any country id/incompatible rom errors.
A Unix box is not needed, just a standard pc.

Flashing with SE1.2 isn't always enough. I've got an XDA-1 from T-Mobile that shipped with the following:
ROM 4.01.16ENG
RS 6.25.02
Flashing it to SE1.2 worked fine, but the XDAUnlock gave same "Error...unlock code" msg others have seen.
I'm very hesitant to get into RS flashing (for obvious reasons) but there really doesn't seem to be any other way around it in this case. Then again, I worry even that won't really solve the problem (e.g. if I go back to 6.25.02 RS won't the problem potentially just return?).
Hoping for some help unlocking it without RS flashing.

You could try xda manipulator and a serial cable, otherwise I think radio stack will need to be changed, before doing ANYTHING with the radio stack please read on this forum all the problems you may encounter, hopefully there will be a solution for you among these pages.

Step-by-Step instructions to unlock Siemens SX-56 (no cable)

This is site is excellent. I'm very impressed. There is a wealth of information here. I wasn't able, however, to find the answers I was looking for as of yet, so please help if you can...
I have two Siemens SX56 PDA Phones.
Both have ROM version: A.30.09 ENG.
Both have ROM date of: 01.01.2004
Both have Radio version: A.33.02
I would like to use XDAunlock.
I see that my ROM is too new for it to work. :shock:
Can I safely do the following in this order?
1. Overwrite the ROM with XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2
2. Unlock with XDAunlock
3. ReOverwrite the XDA SER v1.2 with the AT&T ROM A.30.09 ENG
Am I missing any steps here?
I will lose all my data and need to backup first right?
My PDA is just a "PC" and all my AT&T account data is on the SIM right?
Thank you for all your help.

unlock - same old story

i know that this is old stuff but i cant find what i need (i am new at this) sorry!
from what i found i have a wallaby (pw10b1) that i want to unlock. it was purchased from tmobile usa and my account with them has been closed for over a year. i am with cingular and want to use this device. i downloaded xdaunlock.exe loaded it using hotsync, clicked on it and get "error getting unlock code" here is what i have:
rom version: 3.14.40 eng
rom date: 11/26/02
radio version 6.18
protocol version: 324e4
what do i need to do to unlock this thing?

You need a newer ROM including the wmodem function.
Easiest was is downloading XDA Special Edition ROM 1.2 and install it on your device.
This ROM is based on 3.17.03 includes WModem, the unlock-tool and some other nice applications....

Thank you for the info. I am downloading it now.

Wallaby Siemens sx56 unlock

I have read many posts on this site that pertain to unlocking the Wallaby.
I have not actually tried it yet becuase I read that the XDAtools does not work on a wallaby without wmodem.exe. I happen to have a unit that seems to old for the XDAtool unlock and I want to make sure I have this straight.
The Wallaby is:
ROM Version: A.30.09 ENG (upgraded from ppc2002)
ROM date: 01/01/04
Radio version: A.20.10
Protocol version: 324e4
Model No.: PW10B1
Thanks,
Kevin
