UK 4.21 radio upgrade by mistake

I have a US T-Mobile phone that I mistakenly upgraded the radio to the O2 4.21 UK version.
I SD flashed the OS ROM back to T-Mobile's version 3.14, but it cannot change the radio version back. It's giving the "Pocket PC Upgrade Failed" message at 1%.
I've read about copying the 4 files to the /windows directory, but this doesn't seem to work because if the 4.21 version.
Please help

no phone or connection after upgrade

I upgraded my xda using the sd-card method. It worked for a few days, but then i was not able to connect to my pc. I downgraded to irish o2 3.14.13eng via sd-method. radio version is still 4.21. Now the phone is not functioning at all. It says "no signal". How can i go back to my old 4.16 version and keep the 3.14.13 rom?
BTW: i tried to downgrade to 4.16 via the exe. filef rom irish o2 site, but i get the message "flash failed". HELP

Concerns about unlocking a Siemens SX56 Wallaby

I have a Siemens SX56 and USB cable to the docking station.
I have an SD card in the device but not an SD reader.
I copied the unlock file to my device and ran it but obtained an error
message "error getting unlock code". My cell provider is Canadian
(Rogers-AT&T) and the ROM in the device is R.20.11 ENG. The radio version is
A.20.10.
I'm hesitant to install the special edition ROM since the AutoConfig list of
providers doesn't include Rogers. I don't want to end up with no cell
service.
Any suggestions?

I have SX56 too, did it work?
Please tell me if it worked for you, I have SX56 too and I want to use on Roger network in Canada.

It doesnt need Rogers to be in the list, back up your original rom to sd card, flash se rom, unlock phone, reflash with original rom.

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -Reward to help me unlock it- :)

HELP!!! :shock:
I've tried everything to unlock this unit I got on eBay and I'm not having any luck after 2 days of hacking.
What I've tried:
- Tried XDAunlock got a message "error getting unlock code"
- Installed the "Special Edition ROM v1.2" several times cause it just didn't work the first time. Front screen says it removes SIMlock, but NOT on my unit. Loads the auto config for USA -Tmobile, and reboots but returns the stinkin message "'SIM Lock' Please input unlock code SID:" -
-Tried XDAunlock again and still same message.
- Tried XDA2unlock, nothing
Here are the specs if someone can help:
ROM Version: 3.17.03 ENG
ROM datae: 05/15/03
Radio version: 6.25.02
Protocol version: 324e4
The unit is in Brand New condition so I hate to toss it away.
Thanks,

When you first boot the special edition rom do you have the sim inserted? If yes, try it without sim, if no, try it with sim.

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -
Booting up with and without a foriegn SIM yields the same SIM Lock message. Still searching for suggestions. (after two days of searching for a fix my eyes look like this :shock: )
Still comes up "Please input unlock code SID:" I know its not the SIM chip as the SIM chip works without problems on another PPC.
My gut tells me its the phone part which is locked. If I can somehow replace this part of the ROM, I can get it to work, but I do not know how to cook a new phone rom and from what I've educated myself with on this site its states to keep away from the RSU? The PDA functions fine as a standalone unit but defeates the purpose of why I purchased an integrated system for my wife. Guess she will have to carry a seperate phone for a while this we figure this out. :x

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -Reward to help me unlock it-
Well I may have come onto something. I am going to try these steps tomorrow and let you all know. After 3 days of searching thru all the forums here, I came across this link on how to unlock this AT&T PPC. Wish me luck. :lol: Looks like I will owe LumpiStefan a reward if this works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13477
BTW, this web site was down for the longest period, anyone know what happened? Anyways, thanks for getting it back up.

Have you tried entering 0000 as the sid code??

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -
Yes, I tried 4 and 6 zeros. Nada.
Be it officially noted that I am giving up on trying to unlock this PDA and are putting a curse on ATT and will NEVER ever buy another product tied to that Communist Company. No wonder they don't exist anymore. Anyways, I'm reporting that all the good instructions in this forum to unlock this device have offically failed and the only thing left to try is the serial cable method. After 3 days of hacking, I'm giving up. I've ordered a serial cable and will await its arrival. If that works, I will let you all know. Otherwise its going up for auction with .01 starting bid. :roll:, better yet, maybe I'll donate it to the sys op. :lol:

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -Reward to help me unlock it-
Well, I finally unlocked this pos after many many countless hours of trying different things. How I finally did it was to take a much deserved rest and then start from the beginning all over again. I started here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/UnlockWiz
Answer the wizard questions, and I was on my way to downloading and unlocking. After it was finished I had to change the bandwidth to 1900.
In summary:
Download and install the SpecialEditionROM
Answer the unlock question.
Change the GSM bandwidth network band.
I was in business.
This is a great forum! I will contribute by making donation and THANK YOU!! Merry Christmas to one and all. :lol:

This is not really going to help you, but if you have it, can you send me the AT&T theme from the SX56 ?? (PM me please )

I can help you to unlock it for sure!

Help: Cant Make Calls

I have Qtek 2020 with Rom CE Version 1.72WWE, but every time i try to upgrade to new roms:
(Previously Sundream's WM 6.5 WWE) and (Currently Syed Ather's WM 6.0)
Its giving me issues related to my network.
Signals are fluctuating, i cant make calls, neither recieve them, get messages in delay time more often, It avoids making me save contacts in sim card but after several attempts it succeeds.
Please Help me out. I am not getting this issue when i downgrade back to my Official Qtek 2020 1.72 Rom.

That is strange. Can you tell me, when you take your battery out, what is displayed on the sticker underneath? PH10a? PH10b?
Also, do you happen to know what Radio you are using? (The radio is seperate to the ROM).
Furthermore, and only if you remember, when you put your device into upgrade mode just before you flash a new ROM, what boot number does it say (IE Mine says V1.04 from memory).

Thanks for Reply
