UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -Reward to help me unlock it- :)

HELP!!! :shock:
I've tried everything to unlock this unit I got on eBay and I'm not having any luck after 2 days of hacking.
What I've tried:
- Tried XDAunlock got a message "error getting unlock code"
- Installed the "Special Edition ROM v1.2" several times cause it just didn't work the first time. Front screen says it removes SIMlock, but NOT on my unit. Loads the auto config for USA -Tmobile, and reboots but returns the stinkin message "'SIM Lock' Please input unlock code SID:" -
-Tried XDAunlock again and still same message.
- Tried XDA2unlock, nothing
Here are the specs if someone can help:
ROM Version: 3.17.03 ENG
ROM datae: 05/15/03
Radio version: 6.25.02
Protocol version: 324e4
The unit is in Brand New condition so I hate to toss it away.
Thanks,

When you first boot the special edition rom do you have the sim inserted? If yes, try it without sim, if no, try it with sim.

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -
Booting up with and without a foriegn SIM yields the same SIM Lock message. Still searching for suggestions. (after two days of searching for a fix my eyes look like this :shock: )
Still comes up "Please input unlock code SID:" I know its not the SIM chip as the SIM chip works without problems on another PPC.
My gut tells me its the phone part which is locked. If I can somehow replace this part of the ROM, I can get it to work, but I do not know how to cook a new phone rom and from what I've educated myself with on this site its states to keep away from the RSU? The PDA functions fine as a standalone unit but defeates the purpose of why I purchased an integrated system for my wife. Guess she will have to carry a seperate phone for a while this we figure this out. :x

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -Reward to help me unlock it-
Well I may have come onto something. I am going to try these steps tomorrow and let you all know. After 3 days of searching thru all the forums here, I came across this link on how to unlock this AT&T PPC. Wish me luck. :lol: Looks like I will owe LumpiStefan a reward if this works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13477
BTW, this web site was down for the longest period, anyone know what happened? Anyways, thanks for getting it back up.

Have you tried entering 0000 as the sid code??

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -
Yes, I tried 4 and 6 zeros. Nada.
Be it officially noted that I am giving up on trying to unlock this PDA and are putting a curse on ATT and will NEVER ever buy another product tied to that Communist Company. No wonder they don't exist anymore. Anyways, I'm reporting that all the good instructions in this forum to unlock this device have offically failed and the only thing left to try is the serial cable method. After 3 days of hacking, I'm giving up. I've ordered a serial cable and will await its arrival. If that works, I will let you all know. Otherwise its going up for auction with .01 starting bid. :roll:, better yet, maybe I'll donate it to the sys op. :lol:

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -Reward to help me unlock it-
Well, I finally unlocked this pos after many many countless hours of trying different things. How I finally did it was to take a much deserved rest and then start from the beginning all over again. I started here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/UnlockWiz
Answer the wizard questions, and I was on my way to downloading and unlocking. After it was finished I had to change the bandwidth to 1900.
In summary:
Download and install the SpecialEditionROM
Answer the unlock question.
Change the GSM bandwidth network band.
I was in business.
This is a great forum! I will contribute by making donation and THANK YOU!! Merry Christmas to one and all. :lol:

This is not really going to help you, but if you have it, can you send me the AT&T theme from the SX56 ?? (PM me please )

I can help you to unlock it for sure!

Data crashes help, Please!! MDA Vario

Morning all,
I need help please gents, last night I attempted to sim unlock my MDA Vario (tmob), I used lokiwiz ver 2, but now it is simlocked completely, it also reads on start up "data crashes, contact service provider". Was working flawlessly on Tmobile before this.
I'm sure its a gen 3 as the ipl/spl is 1.06, I have tried using the new version of lokiwiz to fix it but it will not go away (unless I take sim out of course! )
In my desperation to get it fixed last night I even paid £20 to imei-check.co.uk, but they need to verify that I am who i say I am?! By sending a scan of a bill? At this point I have not received any contact from them.
Can someone please help me get this to accept sims again, any help will be much appreciated .
Thanks in advance guys.
Andy

Try once more to downgrade your phone to the 1.05_CUSTOM_ROM, then use lokiwiz02b and perform the SIM unlock again STEP-BY-STEP without having your SIM card in there! See if that works!

Thanks Junner, will try when I get home from work.
Should I have taken out sim before attempting unlock intially?
Thanks
Andy

No, it normally does not effect the unlocking process!
What I do wonder is the following: Do you use a different SIM than the phone's ROM was made for? It is highly unusual that the SIM lock will effect the card it was originally locked to!

here is the problem similar to yours
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258739&page=3
i got it solved by paying 38$ using
http://www.imei-check.co.uk

Thanks all for all your help,
I tried again but it does not work, I guess I will have to wait for imei-check to get back to me, unless anyone else has any other suggestions?
Thanks again all
Andy

MDA Compact Sim Locked itself

I have been using my T-Mobile MDA for more than 3 years, and suddenly it decided not to work on O2 anymore.
I have tried the sim in a different phone and it works.
When I try a T-mobile sim or a Virgin sim in the MDA, it works.
It won't recognize any other networks for some reason.
I have re-flashed the ROM, but still no joy.
What I've come to notice is that the IMEI number shown on the screen when you press: *#06* is different to the number printed at the back of the phone.
Could it be that T-Mobile UK are playing games, and want us to go to them to unlock our phones???
I would be very grateful to you guys if you could please help me unlock the phone again.
P.S: I have tried to use Xdadev_all_unlock, and that says "phone unlocked", but still no joy.

It seems you now have 2 IMEI numbers registered on the same network.
The IMEI number you are using, may also be 'barred/banned', for whatever reason.
You need to search the forum for the tool to change your IMEI to whats on the sticker under your battery.

Hi there Nokia3650,
thanks for your reply.
I have tried to search for the tool to change the IMEI, but couldn't find it.
Could anyone with the info on this tool please help?
Your help will be most appreciated,
Thanks,
Jas.

Vlodec, will have the best soloution to getting the IMEI changed.
I think the tool currently being used is 'loki unlocker'.

hiya Nokia 3650, thanks once again for the message.
Where would I find the tool? I have looked all over the place, but still no luck.
Do you have a copy that you could forward to me?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Jas

Jassy29, I don't have it stored on my HD, but I'll post the URL from the downloads section when I find it.
As I recal, its actualy in the charmer threads (should still be compatible, as its just a DOS batch file).

This is what you need:

Hi Nokia 3650,
Thanks for your reply, and concern. I just tried the program/software you suggested, but no luck.
It seems to some up with an error message, and resets my phone, but nothing else.
Do you know of any other software?
Would it help if I could change the IMEI back to the original? (I'll have to figure out how to do this).
Thanks again,
Jas

Still waiting for some help????
Hi people,
Is there no one out there that can help me out on this one?
I have tried to look for software to change the IMEI on the phone, back to what it was, but have had no luck.
I would be very grateful to anyone out there that can help me out on this one please please????
Regards,
Jas

HELLO???? Anyone out there capable of helping me?
I need to unlock this phone.
Why isn't anyone replying?????????

Is it possible no signal/cannot making calls after CODE unlock?

Hi PLEASE HELP,
I've done so many Magics simlocks via code. Any problem except the last guy. He says that after unlock he cannot make any calls.( his phone was new he didn't check if he was able to make calls before unlocking procedure). He says no radios, roms etc was flashed before. I instructed him how to restore via nandroid to the orginal firmware/ wipe the phone etc. He says nothing happened still the same issue. Now phone doesn't ask for unlock code so I thing it's nothing wrong with my service - simlock is gone ,it's something with his phone. He also says that he has got an access to the Internet on several roms. But I think that he thinks it's my fault -but I'm sure it's something wrong with his phone! It's impossible to damage the phone trying to unlock via code based on IMEI. What do you think guys ???
ps. i've asked him to try call 112 - and he says it works, but if he dials another numer the phone says "not registered in network" or sth. like that. He says that the same sim card working fine in another phone. He has tried many sim cards and still the same issues...

thanks for help...

Tried to unlock phone/sim

Evening gents,
I wanted to carrier unlock my phone, so I purchased a code from an unlocking site, entered 2945#*802# , then I tapped Network Unlock but I get a message saying "this phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked". The phone is brand new and on O2 (uk network) I have never attempted this before, the only thing I have done to the phone recently is root it.
Anyone got any ideas or have I just wasted £7.
Many thanks,
Ady.
