Help with AT&T SX56

I have a SX56 from AT&T Wireless:
My device currently show the following:
ROM version: 3.14.03 ENG
ROM Date: 09/27/02
Radio Version: 6.12
Protocol Version: 324e4
My goal is to unlock it and use it on Cingular GSM/GPRS network. I try using the XDAunlock.exe but it didn't work. I got a "error getting unlock code" message.
Can someone please advise the easiest way to get my goal?
Thanks in advance.

Installing the Special Edition ROM use to be the preferred method for unlocking.

www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/

tnx for the reply!. does my xda specification qualify to be unlocked using xdaunlock? i haven't tried unlocking some smart phones, its my first try. does it involve any reprogramming the bios or something? thnx!

Just go to
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/UnlockWiz
and follow the steps.
Thats all.
Greetings, Kaputter :shock:

i tried xda unlock, but it says error getting unlock code... what will i do now... im badly in need of some expert help here...

then you need to flash your ROM with SER v 1.2 which will unlock your device with the first boot

I'm trying to unlock my old XDA, I have foolwed the instructions given on this site but nothing seems to work......HELP!!!!!
The device information is as follows:
ROM version: 3.17.03 ENG
ROM date: 05/15/03
Radio version: 4.20.00
Protocol version: 32554
Trying it via the USB sync.
Any suggestions??

Unlocking XDA 1
I have read and read and read the forum on how to unlock my XDA 1 (XDA II was a sinch!) but the XDA 1 is causing problems. I started with the error below and tried upgrading my ROM - getting error messages on not being able to unlock and that I needed W Modem.
Can upgrade using SER 1.2 without a unix box, then unlock all using the USB cradle?
Hope someone can explain in even more simple terms
Appreciate it!

I notice that ser 1.2 works with TMobile in the USA but doesnt say anything about ATT Wireless.
Should I infer that the ser 1.2 isnt a good idea then?
My PocketPCPE is :
ROM:A.30.09
Rom Date: 01/01/04
Radio version: A.33.02
Protocol version: 1.3.3
Unit is a wallaby PW10B1
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Flash your xda using ser 1.2, this will unlock the xda, I suggest backing up your existing rom to sd card or using xdatools, once you have flashed the xda you can then restore your original rom using the sd card method. Using sd card method overcomes any country id/incompatible rom errors.
A Unix box is not needed, just a standard pc.

Flashing with SE1.2 isn't always enough. I've got an XDA-1 from T-Mobile that shipped with the following:
ROM 4.01.16ENG
RS 6.25.02
Flashing it to SE1.2 worked fine, but the XDAUnlock gave same "Error...unlock code" msg others have seen.
I'm very hesitant to get into RS flashing (for obvious reasons) but there really doesn't seem to be any other way around it in this case. Then again, I worry even that won't really solve the problem (e.g. if I go back to 6.25.02 RS won't the problem potentially just return?).
Hoping for some help unlocking it without RS flashing.

You could try xda manipulator and a serial cable, otherwise I think radio stack will need to be changed, before doing ANYTHING with the radio stack please read on this forum all the problems you may encounter, hopefully there will be a solution for you among these pages.

Wallaby Siemens sx56 unlock

I have read many posts on this site that pertain to unlocking the Wallaby.
I have not actually tried it yet becuase I read that the XDAtools does not work on a wallaby without wmodem.exe. I happen to have a unit that seems to old for the XDAtool unlock and I want to make sure I have this straight.
The Wallaby is:
ROM Version: A.30.09 ENG (upgraded from ppc2002)
ROM date: 01/01/04
Radio version: A.20.10
Protocol version: 324e4
Model No.: PW10B1
Thanks,
Kevin

but after alot of experimenting i have found a solution. i thought i'd post this to help anyone else out with the same problem!
I bought an M600 on orange PAYG however on inserting my orange contract sim i can use the phone but cannot send SMS messages or adjust phone settings, if i attempt to all i get is the message above.
having spoken to orange about this several times it turns out to be a sim compatibility issue. orange however do not support sim swapping all they can do is send out sims compatible with the handset they sent you! i.e the N73 i got on upgrade.
So my solution, i paid imei-check to CID unlock the phone, i actually already unlocked the phone using lockiwiz but that will only remove the simlock on a G4 and AFAIK imei-check are the only people to unlock the CID.
once unlocked i backed up the shipped rom to SD as described in the prophet WIKI (just in case i needed to restore it to orange settings) and then upgraded the rom.
i tried several shipped roms and eventually found this rom the
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_?QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to not only work but also be in english. its a great rom, very basic without all the junk orange supply as standard
I don't really know why this has solved my problem i think its something to do with the radio rom but whatever it is it works perfectly!
below is my phones new info, if someone with the orange Rom could post the same I'd be interested to compare the versions.
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
I hope this helps someone out there!

for discussion purposes
That sounds weird why it works like that since my understanding of unlocking CID was merely so that one could install different ROMs. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong here.

it is!!!! i needed to update the rom to get it to work! as above i stated that i changed from the orange rom to the qtek one, hence CID needs to be unlocked
So my solution, i paid imei-check to CID unlock the phone, i actually already unlocked the phone using lockiwiz but that will only remove the simlock on a G4 and AFAIK imei-check are the only people to unlock the CID.

Afaik, if you remove IPL/SPL from the ROM (There should be tutorials somewhere around here on how to do it) you don't have to CID unlock your phone.

I would really like to try this! I am always getting the same error so often whenever I send a new sms. I have an i-mate JAMin, prophet touch X ipl&spl 2.20, gsm 2.69. I can't find the ROM you're talking about in the xda-developer's ftp. Can you please upload it? Thank you so much!

its on the wiki page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_ROMs

Okay If I installed this, do I have to reinstall wm6 and then my current ROM again(Prophet Touch X)?

yes i expect so, i'm no expert, thats just the way i solved the problem on mine!
i think it has to do with the radio rom version

You can update the radio ROM without having to change the normal ROM.

I am currently using v2.69. Does it mean I have to downgrade or test other versions? How about you? What version are you using guys?

hey as i stated, i'm not entirely sure what eaxctly it was that the replacement rom fixed but it did fix it!
Are you guys using orange M600s? whats your rom info?
mine was:
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
unfortunately i had my phone stolen so i can't help much more than that.

Okay I have fixed mine. I tried all versions but only version 2.30.21 of Radio ROM only fixed my problem. Thanks guys for all the help.

I had the same issues, updated my M600 to the above ROM and it now works perfectly

wow - does that mean you guys are using a 3g sim in a orange m600??
if so - what is a radio rom (and what does it replace?)
can you run these radio roms with wm6.1? or does it mean going back to 5?
sorry for all the questions i am despirate to get my phone working!!

I have a similar problem, going to try the rom you recommended but thought I'd post my pre-rom stats.
below is my phones new info, if someone with the orange Rom could post the same I'd be interested to compare the versions.
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
Original version
ROM version: 2.10.1.22 WWE
ROM date: 2/16/06
Radio version: 02.07.20
Protocol Version: 413.1.03
ExtROM version: 2.10.1.107
Hopefully this new rom will sort my problem out.
