I have the AT&T SX56 with
ROM VERSION : A.20.11 ENG
ROM DATE: 3/3/03
RADIO VERSION: A.20.05
PROTOCOL VERSION: 324e4
I tried the XDAunlock tool and it didnt work,
the boot screen shows pocket pc 2002,
So i Dont understand why im getting the "Error getting unlock code"
can anybody tell me if i need to downgrade first, or upgrade, or what!!
my steps are to:
Get the Unlock Code and also Unlock the Phone
then Upgrade to Pocket PC 2003
Any help would be appreciated!
Sometimes the XDAunlock tool didn't work for SX-56 especially with A20 ROM ... it's better to flash your ROM using SER v1.2 and it will unlock your xda with the first boot ... then you can upgrade later to WM2003
That did the trick....
A20 seems to be a newer version of 2002 and does not work well with XDA unlock...
for those of you looking to unlock your phones out there...USE THE XDA SER 1.2 (Special Edition Rom)...
It will Downgrade your Rom to version 3 (dont be affraid of the word downgrade, its painless) and once it restarts, it will ask you to unlock, and VOILA... you are ready to roll
Thanks XDA Dev Team, you guys Rock...
Now we just need a 850Mhz hack, and us Cingular users will be set

Hi,
Siemens SX56 Unlock AT&T Wireless
I would like to know if someone unlocked its phone by himself.
All we read is people from everywhere except with AT&T.
My ROM version: 3.14.03 ENG date: 09/27/02
Radio version 6.12 protocol 324e4
Frequency 900/1900 American model PW10B
Does the Rom Update 3.17 from xda-developers works with Rogers AT&T?
Can we expect our phone to live after that update?
Is the new ROM functionnalities user friendly? Would you rather keep the old ROM version both UNLOCKED?
If you got your SX56 unlocked, can you tell me what you did?
I'd like to have your comments on what you did before I do it.
After spending that kind of money, I wouldn't like to kill my phone.
So let me know how you did it and what did you need to update it.
I expect to get details from you.
Thanking you in advance!!!
try the unlocking tool from www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/
if it doesn't work then try the ROM 3.17
good luck ...
Need a copy of 900/1900 SER ROM image

I tried XDAunlock and it doesn't work...
Now I downloaded SER but I don't have access to Unix.
So if someone would be kind enough to send me a copy of image.
Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I understood from it?!?!
Need a copy of 900/1900 SER ROM image
I tried for a week with all the free tools we have on this site and it's not unlocked yet. Can someone with a Siemens SX56 (USA or Canada) help me with unlocking my XDA ? I need a ROM image for XDA SER.exe which works for Rogers AT&T (Canada) or AT&T Wireless (USA), nothing else. And if you can: detailed explanations how to unlock with ROM image...
Thanks to you...
Why is the need for Unix ?
just try to cook a 3.17 based ROM and flash your XDA using the exe method. it will unlock your device with the first startup. in case it doesn't work you can cook it as .nbf file and use SD card flashing.
Mee too
I tried the steps recommended, it is taking an awful long time to read the first block (like 30') so I aborted it.
Any thoughts? Thanks guys, you are great!
hey there i have a problem unlocking the SX56 its a ATT device witch i upgraded via the Siemens Website to the 2003 version,
now when i use the tool xdaunlock i always get an error:
error getting unlock code
anyone has some help on that
here is the info
ROM Version: A.30.09 ENG
ROM date: 01/01/04
Radio Version: A.33.02
Protocol Version: 1.3.3
Model: PW10B1
please help me !!!
XDAunlock tool doesn't work with WM2003 ... you have to down grade your ROM to PPC2002 ... try to cook any 3.17 based ROM from the kitchen here and it's better to flash your ROM with the SER v1.2 which will ulock your xda with the first reboot
thx for the info
would you have some info what SER 1.2 is or some step by step instructions

GSM Band change
Hi,
I have an unlocked AT&T Siemens XDA I :
ROM : A.30.09 ENG
ROM date: 01/01/04
Radio : A.20.10
Protocol version: 324e4
Under Settings>phone> i cannot find the tab found in other versions where I can switch the GSM band between 900 and 1900.
what should I do about that? is there anyway to switch band? or do I have to upgrade/downgrade the OS?
The phone is working with both T-mobile and AT&T networks, but I will need to use it in Europe and Egypt (Vodafone).
hey Biso007 , I hope you have the answer
thank you
Band Switching in Windows Mobile
The tab used to switch the bandwidth, 900/1900 MHz GSM, was removed in Windows Mobile as the software interface with the radio stack unit/RSU automatically will switch from the Americas' 1900 MHz to the international 900 MHz and vice verse when travelling to other countries. My friend has an unlocked Siemens SX56 Pocket PC Phone with AT&T Wireless(hopefully soon to be Cingular Wireless) as the service provider, took the SX56 over to Ireland with him on a business trip and used a prepaid SIM without any problems.

As raycaroll70 said, band switching is being done automatic between 900 and 1900 for B devices, and 900 to 1800 for A devices ... this is true in A30.0x ROMs from AT&T
In T-mobile ROMs it's still being done through the phone settings but only for B devices 900/1900. It's also worthy to be mentioned that the RSU is a significant factor in this issue ... I think A20.x does this auto switching, but I didn't try it with 6.2x.0x RSUs

SER v1.2 cannot unlock WM2003 version radio stack 6.25 or A33.
The SER V1.2 is absolutely obsolete.
I have developed new tools to unlock under MW2003 new radio

Thx for this already known info, but I expect the people coming to this forum for "FREE" advices ... then if it doesn't help they can seek a help with a charge if needed.
Note: even if SER v1.2 is obsolete (which is not true!), no one said it should be kept to be used as the final ROM (even tho it's still working fine) ... it's just a transitional state for unlocking ... and for the RSU issue, many people here down graded the RSU then unlock then upgrade back to a recent RSU ... and they did it with no charge as well

Downgrade Radio stack is big risk!
Many XDAs are dead cause radio stack downgrade/upgrade failure!
I've come accross a small problem.
I have upgraded the XDA to 3.17.03 ENG (includes wmodem) and the device will not unlock (using XDAunlock.exe) :shock: . I have also tried upgrading it to the SER 1.2, but that doesn't unlock it either. All I want to do is put my Orange SIM into my O2 XDA, can you help? :?
Funny because the latest ROM provided by O2 from their website www.my-xda.com should provide a network free phone.........
I have an XDA and i didn't need the XDAunlock tool on the latest ROM.
ROM version: 3.17.03 ENG
Radio version: 4.21.00
Thanks.

you need to unlock CID FIRST....to be able to install any rom.
here is how to...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
You mean i use this ROM: ftp://xda:[email protected]__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
To unlocked CID and then i try using any order Rom to flash my qtek 9100
No pal,
You use LokiWiz (on this forum) to unlock CID and THEN you can flash Roms of another brand (like Qtek, or T-Mobile).
Good luck,
Molski.
p.s. I am not sure if 2.17 Roms can be CID unlocked already (for free, there is a paid solution).
Can u send me the lokiwiz and how to to used it.THANKS
as was before stated.. how about read the link he gave you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Do i have to pay to get unlock first.
Still need help.what should i do.
hi dmoney, I'm having the same problem that you are. Lokiwiz just doesn't seem to CID unlock new 9100's, I get the same error [300] message that you do. Hopefully somebody will crack it soon, otherwise we're stuck with the roms that we have.
There is a newer version of lokiwiz then 0.2b...you need to get the latest version.

I have an SPV M2000 originally running on Windows Mobile 2003. Somehow I managed to upgrade it to Windows Mobile 6 Professional (Build 18125.0.4.2), but I am loosing Radio after some minutes and also Wifi.

ExtROM Version: (nothing written here). I can reset the device but it always give "communication error" when trying to downgrade etc. I'm really Desperate!!
