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 ...
thanks in advance

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

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)

All tools in XDA-developers.com cannot unlock SX56 radio A.33.02 or T-mobile 6.25.02
I developed a new tool to unlock them.

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!

Dopod 828 CHT ROM 1.12.06 installed on i-mate JAM

I have just installed the new Dopod 828 Chinese ROM on my i-mate JAM and created the 27M BigStorage on it.
The radio ROM is 1.13.
I have also extracted the Extended ROM for those interested.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Magician/Extended_ROM_Dopod_CHT_112_177/
There are quite a few interesting add-on softwares such as
- Skype For PocketPC
- Iconlab Intervision
- Polaris PWinner
- wLAN11b (for the Dopod "short" SD wifi card)

Talents,
Can you upload the CHT 1.12 Rom also? Thanks a lot

The full OS ROM was uploaded on 11 August by someone else.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Dumped_ROMs/Dopod828V112OS.zip

Hi, Talents
Could you teach me how to install this rom file, after zip the rom is .bin format.
thanks you

thanks for info,it works fine with my 818!!

Please note that in Device Information, it will show Model to be PM10B instead of PM10A. This should cause no problem to installing almost all softwares, but Pocket Hack Master fails to recognise it.
My i-mate JAM has been upgraded to 128M RAM. So, the configuration is no different from Dopod 828.

Hi Mate,
How to install this rom on the I-mate.
Thanks & Regards,

Use the standard SD method to install. You can find a lot of postings about the method in this forum.
As a short summary:
1. Use RomUpdate.exe to dump your orginal ROM to a 128M or 256M SD card.
2. Use ntrw.exe to read the ROM file on the SD card and save it to your hard disk.
3. Use HexEditor to replace the first 416 bytes of the downloaded ROM by the same of your original ROM.
4. (BigStorage option) Change the bytes 80 00 to b8 01 at locations 7e4a and 1fc232e.
5. Use ntrw.exe to write the modified ROM file to SD card.
6. Insert the SD card and set the ppc to bootloader mode.
The above may appear complicated if you are new to ROM upgrade procedures. Please search the forum for more detailed instructions before you attempt.

Compare with o2 mini ROM and 828 rom
have imporove quantity of carmera ?
thank You

Why I got 11.03 MB of my Rom Storage when I Finished the rom upgrade?
And also my radio Version still in 1.11 ?

Thanks a lot! Although I haven't 828.

can I flash it to Eng O2Mini if no RAM upgrade (still 64MB) and how to do? Is there any improvement such as carmera and phone?

and how to use your .bin file? thank you.

Thanks, it's very useful

Still having trouble with BIN file
What do we do with the bin file? I downloaded the full OSDopod828 and have no idea what to do. I see nb1 files and then bin files. do we rename it or what? Can you guys help and clarify. Getting really frustrated.
What's the purpose of editting the 416bytes. If i just want the standard OS, did i have to back up anything at all? Why cant it be just as easy as the EXE which does everything for you...geeesh
C.

How to use BIN Files and SD upgrade?

I didnt back up my CHT before i went for the WWE. What do i do with the bin file. Rename it or edit it what? Need desparate help here guys.

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
best regards

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.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD

sorry friends but i don't understand somethings in this page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
for example:
"xda os image tool" is want "source" and "destination"..
my source is "installer.exe" from the http://www.romkitchen.de/ ,it isn't .nb1
which m i choosen?wm2003final(there is nb.1) or wm2003se(there isn't nb.1 but i want this version)
and "destination section" is wanted .nb1 , my sd card there isn't anyone.
what m i do?m i download the wm2003final.cb1 and its copy to sd card??

if you rename the exe to zip you can copy out the nb1 or nbf file or what ever
one can only use the tool to get the rom to the sd card windows copy dont work
