Greetings, its been a while since I posted on here. Having been a long time user of the XDA & XDAII i've got a newly discovered problem with the SIM unlock
Had the XDAII on a years contract with O2, it expired in january i didn't renew with them as i found the whole O2 as a service provider thing rather crap.
I've just been using my XDAII as a GPS for the past couple of months, however i've now got a new SIM from https://www.easymobile.com/
the XDAII is the latest official version that came from O2
ROM Version: 1.72.00WWE
ROM Date: 03/15/04
Radio Version: 1.17.00
Protocol Version: 1337.28
ExtROM version: 1.72.181
I've downloaded and tried the xda2unlock.exe program
However it keeps telling me that the unit is unlocked
Serial v1.01
i get the message 'phone seems unlocked already!'
Any ideas whats going wrong here?
Anyone?
had to go back to using my SPV ( man is that a ****ty phone)
It's very weird this problem. The unlock program used to work fine before i upgraded.
What would you guys recommend?
Can any one help, should i install a new ROM image?
just want to get the phone working on my new SIM
cheers dudez
Did you try both versions of unlock, one is executed on phone, the other from desktop.

Hello.
As a new xda user I have been reading up on flashing my machine to the Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC Phone edition. I am trying to find out if every rom will work on my phone.
I have an 02XDA
Bootloader 5.17
Rom Version 3.14.17 ENG
Rom Date 10/11/02
Radio version 4.17
Protocol Version 32s54
I was looking forward to updating it to the new version but o2 Asia (I assume my xda is the asian model) says that an upgrade is unlikely.
Can I update it with one of your roms or possibly the WM2003?
Thanks.
Yup, you can upgrade it, and anyone should.
If you asked me two days ago you would get a negative answer. But last night for the second time I upgraded my XDA again to WM2003, and very very happy with it. Specially the telephone and SMS facilities.
When I upgraded first time last week, I was not happy at all, my application programs somehow hang the XDA, most probably Battery Pack older version. Now I am using Spb Pocket Plus instead.
If you want to upgrade to WM2003, just make sure that all your application program can run in it. You cannot trust the signal bar, so I use an excelent program called IP Dashboard test it.
My old set-up was exactly like yours, and now:
ROM version: 4.00.01 ENG
ROM date: 05/16/03
Radio version: 4.21.00
Protocol version: 32S54
Help X2
Ok then.
To make mine look official, where can i get a proper copy of WM2003? I know its not officially endorsed or anything but I want it to at least look the part.
I'm one of these people who love having the newest look to their mobile and as its new I havn't put any extra programs on it yet. (Apary from the sms fix)
and how would I go about getting it and resoring it if the update failed. ?
You may not be able to get an 'official' copy of WM2003, but there are plenty of developer-releases floating around :wink:
Search the forums and read as much as you can and you will have your XDA upgraded in no time.
If I'm not happy with WM2003 can anyone tell me if it is possible to downgrade with the official Programme a/b that can be downloaded from the 02 website.
I downloaded it just in case I had any problems a while ago. Touch wood *knock Knock* It hasn't been a problem for me.
you can down-grade. the best way of doing it is to down-grade to XDA-developers v1.2 then to O2 3.xx

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who posts to this forum - I've been reading it for a month or so now and am constantly impressed with the quality of the knowledge here, especially the developers...
I have a QTEK 1010 bought here in Dubai, UAE, with the following device info:
ROM version: 4.00.01 ENG
ROM date: 05/16/03
Radio version: 3.23.01
Protocol version: 32S54
I have found that browsing using IE feels slower, and have the feeling that this version of the ROM does not work well with the radio version. Does anyone reading this forum live in the UAE? I'd like to upgrade the Radio, but need to know which version works best with Etisalat (our Telco).
Any comments much appreciated!
Thanks, Doms...
P.S. I'm going to upgrade the ROM to 4.00.05 when I get the opportunity
hi, i am from dubai and i am using 4.00.1 from t-mobile and 4.21 from o2, so far everything fine just when i reset the t-mobile logo appears.
do you have bluetooth option in that version and your version was already installed or you upgraded yourself?
Use the o2 Radio Version 4.21 it will work fine...
Thanks for the responses guys. Does this new radio version provide any benefits over the one I have?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1) The QTEK does not support Bluetooth, and there is no way to make it work on a QTEK either.
2) There is no Bluetooth option in any of my menus or settings (I would expect this as my device does not support Bluetooth). Windows PPC2003 is supposed to be able to support Bluetooth, however: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/products/pocketpc/about/2003/bluetooth.mspx
3) I upgraded to the 4.00.05 version of Windows PPC2003 myself using Jeff's ROM Kitchen (thanks Jeff!) http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/
Hi, Once i had 4.00.01 and in connection setting i had Bluetooth option but ofcourse it was not working, the other thing is do you know any camera work with SD port of Qtek? i mean something availble in the market.
4.21 is more stable i think.
cheers,
I had some problems when making calls on my QTEK yesterday. While in a voice conversation audible clicking noises can be heard and after about 1 minute of conversation the quality of the call deteriorates until the other party cannot hear me. I'll try upgrading the radio...
I don't know about the camera support using the SD slot in the QTEK. My first instinct would be to say no, it's not possible, but I can't confirm that...
I bought a Qtek 1010 in Dubai Duty Free the other week. I've since upgraded the ROM using ROMkitchen and am delighted with it. One thing I did notice though is that the speakerphone functionality (claimed in the Qtek handbook) doesn't seem to work. I didn't try it before I upgraded so can someone tell me if it works with the native UAE ROM code, and if so does anyone have any idea how I could get it working again?

I own a QTEK in the UAE and here is my share to those asking about OS and Radio updates here:
I upgraded from
ROM version: SER 1.2
Radio version: 3.23.01
To
ROM version: 4.00.10 ENG (T.Mobile Test)
Radio version: 4.21.00 (O2 UK)
Everyting seems to work fine apart from 2 minor issues so far:
Make sure you set your band to 900Europe as the default is 1900North America in phone/tools/options
The signal fades out sometimes but doznt affect the reception
No G signal but GPRS is OK.
GPRS stays connected; have to turn phone off and on to disconnect.
Advice:
Read a lot before you upgrade. This forum has a wealth of information.
Cheers

Hi,
I've managed to upgrade my MDA I with the new T-Mobile 2003 ROM Version: 4.01.16 ENG, Radio Version: 6.25.02
Any idea how I now unlock the thing so that I don't need to use a T-Mobile SIM?
I know I could install a different version of 2003, but I actually do want to use the T-Mobile one.
Cheers
Paul.
UPDATE: I now think that my problem is not that I have a sim lock, as it is not telling me that my O2 sim is not supported in this T-Mobile device. I think this may be an issue with the radio version. I have tried going back to my old 2002 install and also the XDA developers special. But no matter which one I install I always have the new radio version of 6.25. Does any one know how to "downgrade" my radio to an older one?
Ok, I have an At&t sx56 that I got when it was first released. I never used it, because the at&t GSM service SUCKS... I recently switched to
T-Mobile, I want to unlock the sx56 for use on T-Mobile.. But I cant find anything that applies to my rom version.
Rom Version: A.21.02 ENG
Rom Date: 10/17/03
Radio Vers: A.20.10
Protocol Vers: 324e4
I recently (before switching to t-mobile) tried to do the upgrade to PPC 2003 and my computer crashed halfway through, and fried the device. So I had to send it to siemens and get it completely reflashed, so naturally im nervous about doing anything with the rom. Is there a SAFE way to do it, incase my stupid windows box decideds to take a crap halfway through again? Could I possibly take the at&t rom off, and put t-mobile on? Or is there a better version all together? Pocket PC's arent something im very good with :shock:
If you're new to the whole ROM flashing thing, I'd go with the XDA-Developers Special Edition ROM located here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/SpecialEditionROM It's got a whole lot of goodies included with it, including XDA unlock (removed SIM lock). Or if you want to you build your own ROM at someone's ROMkitchen, like http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ Enjoy.
Hey guys...
I recently got an Orange SPV m5000. Except for the way it looks, it's a great PDA considering i've been using my old Wallaby PW10A1 ...
But the problem is, it has some speed/memory issues! Whenever i open the Programs, or want to make a call, it seems to be stucked for a second or two. I've been wondering, if this is due to the ROM it has.
About the pda, when i got this, it had SIMLock and the default rom in it.
I've removed SIMLock; thanks to buzz, and upgraded the rom the the newest version from Orange website. But still, the problem is the same..
So, i was wondering, if i wanted this to upgrade to WM6, would it be slower?
If yes, would installing another WM5 ROM solve my problem?
If not, which ROM should i be using?
I'ld be pleased if someone spares time to explain me things. It's confusing, there're so many things that i get lost and forgot all i knew whilst checking the topics!
Currently the phone has:
Operator version: 7.130.1.174
ROM version: 1.30.90 WWE
ROM date: 02/24/06
Radio version: 0.00.00
Protocol version: 42.37.P8
ExtROM version: 1.30.174 WWE
(Notes: I live in Turkey, and my operator doesn't have video calling function running here, yet. So i can do without it too. I also did an extended rom unlocking and backed-up the orange installation files (1.85mb) from the storage just in case something bad happens and i have to install that again)
Update:
Since i was imnpatient; like anyone with a new device, I've currently installed L26_WM6_PRO_Business_V7_Videocall without problems. The radio version is updated at the process but there seems no problems with SIMLock, yay!
The OS seems better and faster for now, i'll update here just incase something goes wrong.
Update 2:
Unfortunately SmartDial is not implemented and the default phone skin (t-mobile) doesn't support landscape mode. It does support, but the dialpad is hidden by default, that confused my mind. But then again, smartdial still is absent from the dialpad section and the skin sucks and it's harder to call
It looks fantastic when compared to WM5, and some new settings along with auto-installed programs came. And i liked them!...
Now, looking for a proper smartdial...
