Can someone help me unlock an O2 locked XDA

Hi folks just found out about the forum and the advice and information is excellent. I was wondering if anyone can help. I recently purchased a 2nd hand XDA. It appears to be locked to the O2 network and was wanting to use your software to unlock. I downloaded the XDAUNLOCK.exe and executed this as per instructions. But keep getting the message ‘Error getting unlock code’ can you please tell me if you have any other programs that will perform this for me. My details are as follows:
Rom version 3.12.07 ENG
Rom date 08/13/02
Radio version 4.06
Protocol vers 32554
Can anyone help…….thanks John.

You have 2 possibilites to unlock your xda....
1.) Use the XDA-Manipulator and a serial cable
2.) Upgrade your Rom to version 3.17 and use the xdaunlock.exe program

Also, you can try the XDAunlock.exe alone without upgrade. It worked for me but I had 3.18 at that time.
Good luck ...

Thanks Stefen, sorry for sounding stupid but how do I upgrade my ROM to 3.17? Is there something I can download, buy etc ? I already tried the XDAunlock.exe as stated on my original mail but keep getting error message ?
Any help appreciated.

You can down load it from
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
http://www.xs4all.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
Use your XDA connected to the PC through the cradle and follow the instructions.
Good luck ...

Need help to unlock AT&T Wireless Siemens SX56 (USA)

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!

Pocket PC 2003

I have upgraded my ATT SiemensSX56 to Pocket PC 2003. Is it still safe to use the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.2 on this Poocket PC to unlock the SIM?

try the tool at www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/ first

XDAunlock
Thanks for the suggestion. That would have been great if it had worked. I tried to run it but it gave me the error “error getting unlock code”. I think that the reason was that don’t have a Qtec 1010 Rom version 3.16.52. My ROM version is A.30.09 ENG. The reason that I put this post out was that I wanted to ask around a little before I ran the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.2 on my ATT Siemens Pocket PC to see if anybody thought that it might cause any unwanted consequences.

It worked for me
As I just mentioned in some other post, I did just that with Wallaby 5.22. I flashed the AT&T ROM to find out the phone was still locked. I flashed the XDA ROM, unlocked the phone and reflashed the AT&T ROM. I can't guarantee it'll work for you but it certainly did for me.

XDAunlock tool works only with ROMs that has wmodem application (no WM2003 has it). XDA ser v1.2 is a good choice for unlocking, but since you are going to reflash the device then i would recommend TMO 4.01.00 for now coz A30.09 has a very annoying sound issue.

AT&T SX56 with Weird ROM

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

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

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.
