I tried to unlock and can't. I tried the XDAUnlock tool and the special edition ROM. I never got a message if I wanted to unlock it. I have radio versionA.20.11 Is this the problem? If it is is there easy directions to use.
By XDAUnlock are you referring to the Unlock Wizard in the XDA-Developers Wiki?

When I run the file it does ask me if I want to unlock. However I get an error message unknown deviece type PW10A1 see xdadev_all_unlock.log file for details. Where is that log?
You used the wrong file.
You have to use XDAunlock. Directlink is here:

I tried that many times and still get the error code "error getting unlock code.
Please post you ROM and your Radio Version.
You get this at Start -> Settings -> System -> Device Information

Maybe it's a problem with the radio stack version.
ROM-Version is the right one.
You could try changing your Radio Version and retry the xdaunlock tool again.
I think you have a PW10B-device (check rear sticker) so you have to use the 6.xx Radio-Versions
Download an Upgrade for your device. RSU Version 6.24.20 -> ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wallaby/Radio_Stack/RSU_V6.24.20_PPC.zip
Extract the downloaded ZIP-File and copy all files to the /Windows directory of your device.
Copy the RSUpgrade.exe additional to the /windows/startup directory.
Make an soft reset of your device.
Place your device in the cradle. Run Active Sync on your device.
The RSU Upgrade will run in the background.
Wait for about 10 Minutes. The upgrade should complete in the background....
Afterwards try again the xdaunlock tool.

Stefan
PS: ATTENTION Flashing Radio Version and/or ROM could end your device as a paperweigth. So it's your own risk....
This link does not work. Page can't be displayed. Is there another way to get the download. And by the way did I thank you for all of your help!!!!
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wallaby/Radio_Stack/
Choose 6,24.20 stack zip file.
To log in use "xda" and "xda"
I can't open the page it says this:The page cannot be displayed. Is it not available for a reason?
If you are using internet explorer, once the blank page appears, right click on page and choose "log in" user name xda, password xda.
I tried everything. When I tried the RSUpgrade I received this error. Cannot find 'RSUpgrade' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available. Help me if you can!!!!

hello forum,
i really hope there is someone out there that knows enough to help me.i have already posted here on the forum a few days ago since my phone on a o2 xda is not working anymore after a recent upgrade.There are also several bugs and problem and the device crashes in some occasions (i.e when i tap the volume button).
i decided to try to downgrade to a previous official version directly downloaded from the o2 web site.I t is the version 3.17.
LOOK WHAT HAPPEN WHEN I TRY TO INSTALL IT.
It cames up this error 012: check error:
The ROM image that you are trying to upgrade is not compatible to your pocket pc.
Here are the differences:
Your device information:
Model: PW10B1
ROM version: 4.00
Language: English
Your upgraded image information:
Model: PW10A1
ROM version: 3.17
Language: English
Please download the compatible utility and try again.

It looks like you installed a 4.00.10 or 4.00.16 ROM from the kitchen. You will need to use the bootloader method before you're able to get back to something else.
Cook a 3.17.03 ROM in the ROMkitchen, and get it as a zipped .nb1 file. Also get the XDAtools and run that exe file. Insert an SD-card (whose contents you do not care about) in the XDA and stick it in the cradle. Then right-click on the .nb1 file from the zip, select to write it to SD-card. Wait for that to finish (the indication of that isn't all too clear yet). Then restart the XDA in bootloader mode by holding the power button while performing a soft-reset (big hole on the bottom). Then hit the center of the rocker keypad when it asks you to press 'Action', wait for the counter to finish, and you're all set.
You're life will be slightly easier if, next time you upgrade, you stay away from T-Mobile ROMs.

Hi to you too,pal! Well don't have to enter the test mode.
First try to install the xda unlock exe file fm this site,and then open it fm your ppc.
If the attept fails,find and download the special rom or rom kitchen,to overwrite a new rom which provides the use of any network.
Finally I've discovered a tip,on sx56.When is asking for SID lock code not PIN,type the number zero eight times.

I just unlocked my TMO XDA 1 ... it was painful! Here's a lesson's learned checklist.
1. Get a SD card reader/writer. ~$20 @ CompUSA.
2. Get a 64M SD Card for Bootloader flashing your unit.
3. Build a 3.17.03.exe ROM image at Yorch kitchen.
4. Backup current CE+boot to your 64M SD card. Enter Bootloader, wait for a "GSM OK" message to appear, press contact button next to speaker. Scroll down to Boot+CE->SD, select. This will copy current ROM to SD card.
5. Take this sd card, put in sd card reader/writer and using OSImageTool.exe (part of XDAtools), copy card to pc folder called CurrentROM or similar.
4. Remove sim & sd card from unit.
5. Put in cradle & connect to pc. Using a guest partnership is okay.
6. Run the 3.17.03.exe file. Mine failed. Couldn't read device config. Said to check USB/serial cable connection.
7. Went back to Yorch kitch, created 3.17.03.nb1 file, downloaded it, copied to SD card via sd card reader/writer & OSImageTool.
8. Insert this sd card into your unit, enter Bootloader & it will ask if you want to load this O/S, do so. This worked for me. Do a hard reset after successfully completion and when it comes up, it states unit is sim locked, do you want to change this, tap Yes. I copied XDAunlock.exe to unit, via A/S to confirm unit was really unlocked. XDAunlock confirmed unit was unlocked.
9. Problem, flashing to 3.17.03 put phone model to PW10A1, mine is PW10B1. Any .exe ROM upgrade software will not work. They "see" a model A and they're configured to install software for a model B ... at least in the USA.
10. To get around this, I put a ROM4.00.21.nb1 on the SD card via sd writer, upgraded unit's ROM via Bootloader. This was successful and model was put to PW10B1.
11. Then I ran my ROM4.01.00.exe which completely finished installing the RSU & ROM on my unit. The advanced copy of TMO's ROM4.01.00, RS6.24.01 is combined into an .exe. I'm sure .nb1 and .nbf exist.
I'm running an unlocked TMO XDA 1 and just packaged it for selling. Good luck.
i send the xdaunlock file in my ppc and open it but they show error erro to getting code , i send the file with infra red and open it in start>programes>filexplorer>mydocuments
but show error
i have only usb cable and infra red
please guide me
and its hard to purchase com cable from any other site just give me schematic and pinouts for cable i will make it by my own

Ahsan Moosani
Your ROM version is too old: if you install the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM it will provide you with some new features, and resolve your SIMlock problem as well.
Note that this will involve cold-booting your device, so backup all your information first.
how i update to rom because i have only usb cable which comes in box
there is any other way to make cable because it is hard to purchase for me give me schematic and pinouts etc.
wbr
Ahsan Moosani
you don't need a serial cable to flash your xda. just got to the kitchen at www.yorch.net. cook a ROM based on 3.17 and select the exe method. down load the file to ur PC and connect the xda to the cradle and make sure it's connected to power. run the exe file and follow the instructions.
good luck

I want to use my phone in Vodafone in Spain. So I need to unlock.
I have the unlock tool from XDA but it says 'error getting unlock code'
this is due because it is incompatible with the version of ROM/Software I have on my PDA.
Now, I have a small problem. I dont have the USB cables, (I want t buy them but I cant find them ANYWHERE...if any of you know...that would be of MAJOR help.)
Is there a way around that? Is there a tool for my version?
Can I do this via my SD Card?
http://www.romkitchen.de/
Is this site worth trusting? What would I select to make my phone unlocked? I see on that site a rom for Spain's Telefonica (which I could easily make the switch to, and I wouldnt need to unlock phone?)
Can anyone explain to me the process?
Thanks!

Problem is, that XDA2Unlock is for the new Devices (XDA2, MDA2, QTEK 2020,...), but you have an old device. So you need the XDAunlock tool (with ROMS including wmodem), or you have to use the XDAManipulator and a serial cable.

Hey Guys,
My friend gave me a pocket pc with phone edition. When I tried to insert my sim card it asked me to the unlock code. My friend used this mobile for T-Mobile sim card in US.
Here is the ROM Versino: 4.01.16 ENG
ROM Date: 02/04/04
Radio Version: 6.25.02
Protocol Version: 324e4
After typing my PIN code it asks me to unlok the sim.
What can I do to resolve this problem
Thanks,
bm_t
Try the XDA unlock tool. You can find it on the website.
I have unlocked tmobile using that tool. However if it gives you problems unlocking.... I would suggest installing the xda rom and then try.
I am going to unlock a new Tmobile on tuesday. If this does not work you can get in touch with me on any chat and I will walk you through the process.
lemme know if you need anymore help.
Cheers!
Diki :lol:
Thanks Diki for your reply.
I have tried XDA Unlock and XDA2Unlock but failed.
When I tried XDA2Unlock it reports some error like COM2 0X..... (Hex #)
You have seen my ROM version and Radio version. How do i install new xda rom .
I only have the USB cable. Do I need a serial cable?
thanks
As much as i know, it will not work for you to unlock your device.
xda2unlock is only for the second Version of XDA (MDA II, MDA II,...), so you have to use the xdaunlock tool.
there are several postingsa, that unlocking will fail with your radioversion.
Maybe they have changed the code in this version.
There is a guy (cgigate) that promise he is able to repair and unlock all devices, but personal i don't believe this.
i believe changing ROM will not change anything. But you can try it. Look for the XDA deelopsers special ROM 1.2 or use the 3.17.03 ROM and the unlock tool.
But flashing a device could be dangerous.
Changing the radioversion is also possible, but the risc to end ata paperweight is very high...

Hello LumpiStefan,
I have tried serveral times but I couldn't able to download the ROM.
Do I have to register or download some other application to download your ROM.
Here is what I did to download the ROM
After Entering ur site LumpiStefan, http://lumpistefan.dynsdns.org
I clicked PPC 2002 and select 3.17.03 with XDA developers (Default ).
and clicked 'Build Rom Now' button.
When I clicked 'Build Rom Now' button, the only thing that changes is the graphs (right hand side of the page). I have tried many times but only the graphs changes.
Did I miss something (some procedures or .....)
thank you for ur time
After clicking cook rom you should have the option to specify where to download it.
Hello,

You can try http://xda.weblink.net or use http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe to download the xda developers ROM based on 3.17.03 including the unlock tool....
I think you're the first guy that has problem to download a rom from the kitchen.

Hi LumpiStefan,
Thanks for ur reply.
I have checked both sites (i.e http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ and http://xda.weblink.net)
I have tried also another rom but the same problme. I have tried to download the rom from Linux and win XP pc.
I have aslo downloaded http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
but when I executed this file from my win XP machine ( I have connected my XDA through USB cable and installed ActiveSync 3.7.1) it reports error (something like Unable to find the XDA Please connect Serial/USB cable)
I'm really really stuck with this phone
thanks
it seems that you don't followed the correct procedure.
This link it's a wizard and could help you: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/UnlockWiz
Hello Folks,
I have seen a post in form.xda-develpers.com that this file http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
will not work because my phone (i.e PC2003) (the adaptROM is not compatible with PC2003)
He said the only option to Unlock the SIM is only using this xdarit.exe application. Since my SD is 8 MB, I can't load the ROM with this space.
As far as I have seen the situation, my only option is getting the serial cable.
Do you have any suggestions?

Hi,
Every time I run "XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe" I get a message, error getting data, and then the program close.
plz advise. thanks
'error getting data'
I had the same error. I read somewhere on one of these posts that
there was some capatibility between Programme A.exe and Activesync 3.7.1.
Apparently you could downgrade your activesync version or use XDATools to push the nk.nbf file down to an SD card and flash from there. Use winzip or something else to extract all the files in the SER installation exec. In the English folder you'll find the NBF file to use.
In XDATools put this as the Source, target is the SD card in the device. Go to bootloader utilities (power+soft reset and maybe press contacts) and depending on your bootloader version it may detect you have a flash image on your SD card. Follow the instructions on the pda to flash the rom.
Hi rhodwyn,
Thank you for your support, but still I cannot downgrade my "BootLoader" to "5.15" with every boot I'm geeting "5.22" even after loading the spocial edition ROM.
Also, I cannot find (XDArit & Wallaby bootloader version 5.15 files) in the neet.
Please advice.
Thanks.
Hi ALL,

-Backup the ROM to SD and to PC using XDATools;
-Tryed to flash bootloader with 'pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0' but it returns an error 'Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect'
?? May be it's because i'm already on 5.15 bootloader?
-then i tried to Install the 'XDA-Developers Special Edition ROM 1.2' but error said that BIOS is for pw10A1, not mine.
?? where can i get Special ROM for pw10b1?
-then i'm tried to go to http://www.romkitchen.de/, but didn't use the ROM because not sure if works (phone is not mine). Which ROM to use, will WM2003 SE work on mine phone? Will it remove SIMlock?
- i'm reading about the XDAunlock program, on web said: Please note that XDAunlock will only work on device with a PPC2002 ROM that has the Wireless Modem feature. Do I have PPC2002? Do I have Wireless Modem?
Thank you in advance for help!
ps is it possible to get unlock-code some where? Upgrading ROM can be too risky (phone is not mine...)
First of all, since you have already backuped the ROM of the devie would you be able to send me the File?
Cocnerning XDA Special ROM. Normally faslhing that should work either for PW10A and for PW10B devices. There is a tool called adaptrom (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=adaptROM) that can be used for flashing.
But I´m not quite sure if this ROM will work for unlocking the device. The Radio Stack of the device is also quite old. But you can give it a try. Securest way for flashing is via SD-Card.
Done this hundred of times already.....
