Dear Manipulator developers,
I have a XDA simlocked to O2 and need your help for unlocking cause it didnt worked by now!
If i hold Power Button and press the softreset there comes the red green blue screen with:
Wallaby Bootloader V5. 14
GSM OK
if i put in my serial cable(bought on ebay) and start the Manipulator..there stands:
GSM turn on
already on restet....
and then it disappears and there stands:
"GSM turn on
sucsess..
ok but in the software there stands :
Status: ready
sidlock : <none>
Gidlock: <none>
IMEI: some numbers
keep first 8 digits is hooked
call timers: zero
no reset button anymore cause i pressed it allready!
if i startet the program the first time there was no "unlock button" just reset button..
now there is notthing to press??
what must i do?
if i start this software it founds the xda on com 1!so everything seems to work!??
please help me!
greets
Daniel
PS: i can change the numbers in the field "IMEI" but that is dangerous or not my imei is my phone id!?
oh what might be important:
i have not done an "autokonfiguration" for O2 network..cause this is downloading the smart menu stuff thet i dont wanted..
have i to do this autokonfiguration to use the manipulator correctly?
or has it nothing to do with the autoconfiguration of my mobile phone?
please help me i am as far as before!
PS:i think this Forum is getting too big..maybe the chifs of this great site could make categories for the forum?!
like "tecnical questions-hardware questions-software questions and so on..
one more question..
if u read my post above u see that i am trying to unlock my simlock on O2..but now..i thought about it..what is if this what stands there (simlock : <none>) is correct!!?? i dont have a simlock?!maybe..look i can use a D2 simcard..all works fine but!:if i loose networksugnal..i have to turn off an on again the mobile..cause otherwise it would stay without neworksignal the whole day!..my question:do i have a simlock??
or wouldnt it be able to use any other card if i had a simlock to O2?
pleas help!

From the above I would conclude your phone is indeed not SIMlocked, but you are experiencing problems related to Radio Stack version 4.14. The answer is to upgrade to 4.16 or 4.17, which both exist and are floating around, but haven't been offered as official upgrades yet.
But if i put my xda in bootloader moder there stands version 5.14!
if i reet it normaly there stands 3.14? which is my radio version?
wher can i get a new one for germany?
can i upgrade via dockingstation?
Version numbers
There is a whole bunch of version numbers associated with the XDA:
The Microsoft PocketPC OS version
The HTC software version (3.00.01 through 3.15.something)
The Radio Stack version
The protocol bytes
The Wallaby Bootloader version
Each version number represents the version of some different part of the software. Your bootloader is a separate thing with a separate version number, not related to the rest of the ROM. Your bootloader could well be present before the device gets a plastic casing and is told whether it's going to live a life as an O2 XDA. a T-Mobile MDA or a Siemens SX56.
A certain HTC version will be built based on a certain release of the PocketPC OS, with all the HTC specific drivers and additional (O2 or T-Mobile) related programs added.
The Radio Stack version depends on the software loaded into the GSM part of the device, and can vary independently from the OS. There's different versions depending on whether its a 900/1800 (Asian/European) or 900/1900 (American) phone.
ok but where can i get a update for a german xda?can i get it free without paying in an O2 shop?
Where can updates been found?and how do i upgrade my rom version?

Look here: http://www.genion.de/genion/hilfe/more/
then Hilfe, thne FAQ check XDA
XDAunlock needs no serial cable
You can now use XDAunlock to remove the SIMlock from phones with the latest ROMs (Qtek or XDA-developers Special Edition ROM).
Users that install the Special Edition ROM do not need to download since XDAunlock is included and ran at cold-boot. Users of Qtek 3.16.52 ROM click here.
Using XDAunlock you can also view the SIMlock code or re-lock your phone (using command-line arguments).
[I attached the EXE for easy downloading. Works on any 3.x ROM that has wmodem.exe]
Excellent work! True brilliance
I'll be testing this real soon. All I have to do is find a unix box....or will linux do aswell?
Chiani
a windows box with http://www.cygwin.com/ unix tools will do too.
make sure you select perl and bash in the cygwin setup tool.
xda unlock
i have recently downloaded the xdaunlock.exe and transfered it to my xda but an error occured.
the error message was: "error getting unlock code"
could this happen because i have the german version or where can i find a data which is working on my german xda.
Or is it enough only to change the language
It says on the page: XDAunlock only works if you upgrade to a ROM which also has the Wireless Modem feature. Presently, this is either the new O2 English ROM, the latest Qtek ROM, or our own XDA-developers ROM, of shich a new version is due out later today. Given the number of irritating issues some people are experiencing, you may want to wait for the new one, which will fix all these issues.
Special Edition ROM now official unlocking method
I've updated the Manipulator page to say that we no longer advise anyone to download The Manipulator unless they already have a serial cable and need to reset call counters or change IMEI on pre 4.20 phones.
Installing the Special Edition ROM is the preferred method for unlocking from now on. Sell your XDA serial cable company stocks today.
Just use this excellent proggy with my XDA which was locked to O2 took 2 seconds to unlock with just this proggy and its now unlocked to all networks, GREAT JOB Guys thx

Great, I love detailed error reports.
Avri: I think the moderator of your forum has already contacted us. If you're the same person, you probably have 'no signal', right?
If so: did you mess with the 'GSM band' tool under 'Programs'? If you did, just set it 900/1800, possibly soft-reset your phone afterwards (stick the stylus in the big hole on the bottom left) and you should be fine. Let us know if that is not it, or if you're a different person altogether. But please, please, please, do not come back saying:
It still doesn't work. Please help.

Instead: provide detailed descriptions of why and how precisely "it doesn't work".

Hi
Yes I am the sane person.
I didn't sleep for 2 nights I read a lot in this forum.
I tried what you said I get i bandswitch current 900/1800
but I still get NO SIGNAL.
I wroth before that I have T-Mobile PW10B1 model.
Please help this phone cost in Israel about $1,700
regards
avri
If the provider you're trying to connect to is on 1800, chances are things will not work. Major consensus narrative at this time is that at least the filtering for this phone is not set to a wide-enough range to make it a true tri-band phone, even if it might work in some sporadic cases.

I'm confused, what would *nix be needed for?

simple onlocking process
WARNING THICKO ALERT!!. I am referring to myself here I have looked at the various postings on unlocking but cant seem to get my head round what is required to unlock my XDA. I have just received a second hand O2 locked 32MB XDA it came with two USB cradles and all the other stuff. Can anyone please tell me is there a simple way to have it unlocked without sending it off. There are many references to the unlocking progam on here but no direct link to it. I would like to be sure that the unlocking process is simple and relativley risk free can anyone offer any help maybe an already created ROM or whatever it is that is required? If the file is largish please send it to [email protected] this is my broadband email address and can accept large files.
Cheers Sean :shock:
*nix (or cygwin) is needed when you want to build your own rom, using our mkrom tools.
you can find xdaunlock here. you will need a relatively new rom ( which includes wmodem.exe ) to run it. either 3.17 qtek, or our own Special edition ROM
Re: Thicko Alert: I managed to download the unlocling software and hey presto its unlocked.!!So yes the thicko was apt all I had to do was read the item fully.
Now for another question. Can anyone suggest a suitable method of connecting to the net using my unlocked xda. I dont need to worry about phone costs (long story) so as long as the dial up is a UK one with no out of country prefixes I should be able to get online free?
Unlocking Siemens SX56 ATT US
I have an At&t siemens sx56 that Im trying to get to work on vodaphone in Germany. I've tried the XDA Unlock program, but it won't work because I don't have the latest ROM. I'm not sure what to do from here, especially because I use it with a mac and the PocketMac software, so I can't use a serial cable. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Jake

Yes: simply back up everything and install the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM. It will unlock your device and make it cooler.

G`day everyone,
I have just brought a new SX56 siemens from the US. I am in Aus and would like to use my existing provider. My problem is the SID is locked and I would love to get some help here.
I have tried XDAunlock.exe and received an error (error getting unlocked code). Any help would be great.
Rom Version : A.20.17 ENG
Rom Date : 05/15/03
Radio Version : A.20.10
Protocol Ver : 324e4
Model Number: PW10B1
I think you should be able to install developers special edition rom, this will unlock it automatically. Before doing so, back up your existing rom using sd card method, then you can go back to where you started but with an unlocked machine.

Thank you for replying so quick mate.
But using the developers special edition rom is something im afraid to get into if something goes wrong.
Also im not familar with compiling etc.
Then again I havent given special edition rom a chance.
Just not confident playing around with the rom.
Ps. Reading about XDAunlock.exe seems alot easier to manage and is my rom version to new to run with XDAunlock.exe?
thanks again cruisin-thru.
The XDA Manipulator will unlock a phone, if you can have a serial cable (Easily purchased - approx. $10).

Yes I know that the XDA Manipulator will unlock the phone but i read that, this can be of high risk. Also i havent read that anyone has the same rom version and used XDA Manipuilator.
You dont need to know a thing about compiling, just download the exe file, after doing sd backup. Run it on your pc and it will do its thing.

we able to come up with a way to unlock it . you'll find two ways to sim unlock your phone here, if you'll just browse in artemis topic. but you'll have to pay for it via paypal.
you can find one in the topic artemis mobile , but you'll find them easily enough TO UNLOCK artemis mobile . IT REQIURE ONLY IMEI & 10 UK POUNDS.
FOR FIRST THREE WILL BE 5 UK POUNDS.

Yes the tool generates something like random numbers. These "random" numbers will be placed on the SD card. After "booting" your device from SD card this random numer is placed "into" your device. Next time you use a different sim card it will ask for the unlock code. Just use the random number and everything is fine... That is what I found out and tested...
Do not pay any money to people who just do not know what they are doing except making money...

For today I only say it is possible to boot an artediag.nbh.
For your own test, just take any other nbh file name it arteimg.nbh and you will see that the device ask for flashing. Rename it to artediag.nbh and you will see that it tries to execute it like a program (does not make sense cause it is not a real program so reboot your device).
And now try to begin playing... and see what will happen...
Can somebody delete this topic?
"Free HTC SIM Unlock *artemis mobile" doesn't suit with what the creator of this topic says... spammers
I agree, it is not free. It is not guaranteed to work either.
Anyone know where I can find it.
Thanks in advance.
You can get it from O2's XDA site.
http://www.my-xda.com/xdaMiniSoftware.jsp
Can't get it from there cos they are asking for a valid phone number.
The phone has'nt got a phone number registered to it yet because it's not working properly.
That's why I need the rom.
Forget the above. I gave my old phone number and it accepted it so I got the rom.
Thanks.
