New XDA user - I need help. - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

Hello.
I've been given a second hand XDA and its locked to o2 but where I live you can't get much of a signal, and if I want to use all of its surfing abilities they say I have to take up a contract. This is not what I want to do. I want to unlock the thing, but I'm not sure how to. I read the download thing on here but I'm a bit nervous about trying it out.
Is a serial cable the same as my active sync cable?
My radio version isn't on your list? Its 4.08.
Would Vodafones mobile connect for the pocket pc work on my XDA?
Any help would be gratefully recieved.
Thank you. :? [/b]

not sure if "Vodafones mobile connect" is some program or what
if it's gprs settings then yes settings work on all cellphones be they nokia or wallaby it's not phone related
if it's just suing vodofone then again yes a gsm phone is a gsm phone
about if an activesync cable == a seriel cable then that depend on your activesync cable if it have a connector like this

}
then yes
if it's connector is like this
if you dont want to do it yourself then i'm sure there are somebody you could pay to do it for you..

If that is all I can do, it looks like I'm stuck with an XDA I can't use online as I don't live anywhere near anyone who could unlock it for me.

Last night I finally plucked up the courage to try the xda-developers special edition rom - and it worked. My phone is no longer locked to o2, now I just have to work out the setting for vodafone.
Thank you very much.

Oops. Dead Wizard - Possible to Fix?

Hi
Anybody know how to fix a dead wizard? It does nothing at all. No LED no Bootloader Nothing
bye
can u tell me how exactly u messed it up?
Sorry to hear that
We need to know how it died?
This thread is prob the most helpful http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51101
I made my own nk.nbf with the o2 CID (my wizard is an o2 XDA Mini S). I think the extended ROM and SPL would not update because either they were in wrong order or wrong memory adress. So my IPL became 2.4 and my SPL stayed 2.21 - after reset the device never turned on again.
I would try summiter's advice first in the above thread in case it's a battery/power problem.
Then if no joy - go along with fluffcat's advise, maybe good idea to post in wizard upgrading forum where summiter etc... could help you.
A warning to us all - don't mess with the rom too much!
o2 are coming round to give me a new one and take the old one away!! lol, for free

Turn on "beam" as well as "bluetooth" options, in the connections section.
first i whould like to thank you for this fast answer but unfortunatly when i turn on the beam the mobile gives me the screen to select my country and the operator in other words the connection setup tap, if there is any thing else it will be most appreciated
if I click
settings->connections->Beam
I get this screen
never heard about anybody getting questions about country or operator
as Beam was present in pocketpc way before any of them had phones in them

thanks for the reply but still i have no item called beam in my onnections tap
i only have beam in conn manager maybe its with the rom it self if anybody has passed over this plz advice cause i really hate to flash another rom since this one is pretty gr8
Seems like your rom is missing a few core parts, and might not be as great as you think it is. Anyway I'm pretty sure the problem is that beam is not enabled. There will be another way to enable it, but I don't know of it.

Unlock my ancient Universal

Hi everyone, it's been long ten years since I put my Universal to the bottom shelf. Being kinda bored I just recovered it, soldered new mini USB port (the reason why it went to the shelf in the first place), and now it charges and starts. Unfortunately I'm being asked for a code, probably WM lock screen or something. Curious, I never was too fond of lock codes and I do not remember to set it. I tried a couple of simple ones I came up with but no success. Sure, I could do hard reset but I was curious to dig a bit in my past. Is this really Windows lock screen? Do we have any tools to override it nowadays?

Hi RenMcCourtey, isn't it something like PIN to unlock the device? I actually made similar thing like you. Only difference was to sort my old stuff in different country and I found my old Xda Exec with 128MB RAM . So I started to playing with it. And I need to unlock it for different mobile provider. Another problem what I can see is WiFi ... WPA-PSK is maximum on WM5.0. I don't remember if WPA2 is possible. It's a long time ago what I used it ... 2007 I think. Anyway I will share my experience
Hi and thanks for the reply.. I actually do not know what kind of code it is, I didn't see WM6 for 10 years. It's definitely not a SIM lock because there is no SIM present, as I do not have this size of SIM anymore...So yes, probably some kind of device code, that's why I was asking if someone know and if there are some tools to override it. It's often a thing for devices so old.
