XDAunlock needs no serial cable
You can now use XDAunlock to remove the SIMlock from phones with the latest ROMs (Qtek or XDA-developers Special Edition ROM).
Users that install the Special Edition ROM do not need to download since XDAunlock is included and ran at cold-boot. Users of Qtek 3.16.52 ROM click here.
Using XDAunlock you can also view the SIMlock code or re-lock your phone (using command-line arguments).
[I attached the EXE for easy downloading. Works on any 3.x ROM that has wmodem.exe]
Excellent work! True brilliance
I'll be testing this real soon. All I have to do is find a unix box....or will linux do aswell?
Chiani
a windows box with http://www.cygwin.com/ unix tools will do too.
make sure you select perl and bash in the cygwin setup tool.
xda unlock
i have recently downloaded the xdaunlock.exe and transfered it to my xda but an error occured.
the error message was: "error getting unlock code"
could this happen because i have the german version or where can i find a data which is working on my german xda.
Or is it enough only to change the language
It says on the page: XDAunlock only works if you upgrade to a ROM which also has the Wireless Modem feature. Presently, this is either the new O2 English ROM, the latest Qtek ROM, or our own XDA-developers ROM, of shich a new version is due out later today. Given the number of irritating issues some people are experiencing, you may want to wait for the new one, which will fix all these issues.
Special Edition ROM now official unlocking method
I've updated the Manipulator page to say that we no longer advise anyone to download The Manipulator unless they already have a serial cable and need to reset call counters or change IMEI on pre 4.20 phones.
Installing the Special Edition ROM is the preferred method for unlocking from now on. Sell your XDA serial cable company stocks today.
Just use this excellent proggy with my XDA which was locked to O2 took 2 seconds to unlock with just this proggy and its now unlocked to all networks, GREAT JOB Guys thx

Great, I love detailed error reports.
Avri: I think the moderator of your forum has already contacted us. If you're the same person, you probably have 'no signal', right?
If so: did you mess with the 'GSM band' tool under 'Programs'? If you did, just set it 900/1800, possibly soft-reset your phone afterwards (stick the stylus in the big hole on the bottom left) and you should be fine. Let us know if that is not it, or if you're a different person altogether. But please, please, please, do not come back saying:
It still doesn't work. Please help.

Hi
Yes I am the sane person.
I didn't sleep for 2 nights I read a lot in this forum.
I tried what you said I get i bandswitch current 900/1800
but I still get NO SIGNAL.
I wroth before that I have T-Mobile PW10B1 model.
Please help this phone cost in Israel about $1,700
regards
avri
If the provider you're trying to connect to is on 1800, chances are things will not work. Major consensus narrative at this time is that at least the filtering for this phone is not set to a wide-enough range to make it a true tri-band phone, even if it might work in some sporadic cases.

I'm confused, what would *nix be needed for?

simple onlocking process
WARNING THICKO ALERT!!. I am referring to myself here I have looked at the various postings on unlocking but cant seem to get my head round what is required to unlock my XDA. I have just received a second hand O2 locked 32MB XDA it came with two USB cradles and all the other stuff. Can anyone please tell me is there a simple way to have it unlocked without sending it off. There are many references to the unlocking progam on here but no direct link to it. I would like to be sure that the unlocking process is simple and relativley risk free can anyone offer any help maybe an already created ROM or whatever it is that is required? If the file is largish please send it to [email protected] this is my broadband email address and can accept large files.
Cheers Sean :shock:
*nix (or cygwin) is needed when you want to build your own rom, using our mkrom tools.
you can find xdaunlock here. you will need a relatively new rom ( which includes wmodem.exe ) to run it. either 3.17 qtek, or our own Special edition ROM
Re: Thicko Alert: I managed to download the unlocling software and hey presto its unlocked.!!So yes the thicko was apt all I had to do was read the item fully.
Now for another question. Can anyone suggest a suitable method of connecting to the net using my unlocked xda. I dont need to worry about phone costs (long story) so as long as the dial up is a UK one with no out of country prefixes I should be able to get online free?
Unlocking Siemens SX56 ATT US
I have an At&t siemens sx56 that Im trying to get to work on vodaphone in Germany. I've tried the XDA Unlock program, but it won't work because I don't have the latest ROM. I'm not sure what to do from here, especially because I use it with a mac and the PocketMac software, so I can't use a serial cable. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes: simply back up everything and install the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM. It will unlock your device and make it cooler.

Hi,
Im looking at upgrading from the Magician to the Wizard on T-Mobile.
Please answer these Q's for me:
1) Is the Remote assistance any good over WIFI?
This function would be really good for me so please post your experiences with it.
2) Is it easy to unlock?
I done searching but cant find much.
3) What ROM should I install on it?
I put the IMATE Jam one on my Magician, but what is the best one to use on the Wizard?
Thanks alot.
Greatly appreciated/
MC_Bob
Even if you can only answer one Question please reply.
I would like a reply asap
Thanks alot.

I'm not much help for you but I will say I never could get WinVNC to work on my phone. I haven't tried any other method.
WinVNC isnt the defualt that comes on the phone is it?
Thanks
Unlocking is easy as long as you don't have the latest ROM installed. Some people have apparently downgraded their ROM to an older version, unlokced the phone (SIM and CID) and then you're free to upgrade to any ROM you like. Check out the big threads on Lokiwiz for more info.
As for what ROM to choose, I've just installed Mr Clean ROM and am very happy with it (see current threads in the Wizard Upgrading topic). He's also done a T-Mobile variant, if you want the T-Mobile stuff added (inc skins) but I personally put in the really clean version and then added just the MMS/GPRS/etc T-Mobile setup stuff, as I never liked T-Mobile's colours much.
One hint - if you want more replies, use a topic subject that's a bit more specific than "I need help", or peole just won't read the thread. Let us know what you actually want to know!

Mr bob - if you are getting a brand new t-mobile vario chances are it will have the new G4 chip which can only be cid unlocked via http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ for a cost of approx £30 or so. You can tell if it has a G4 chip by looking at the ipl/spl numbers when it boots up. If it has a number ending in .001 then it has a G4 chip.
There is a free way to upgrade your rom that does not update your ipl/spl see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088
You can sim unlock (but not cid unlock) a G4 chip enabled device with lokiwiz 0.3a
Why not wait a short while and get the varioII aka hermes\tytn? Better specs than the wizard.

I've avoided the custom ROM's because there seem to be too many issues reported, and I haven't found the standard U.S. T-Mo ROM to be a problem for me. Doing some tweaking, including overclocking, has made this device very useful.
Follow the instructions here to bypass loading the T-Mo extended ROM:
http://www.lvlolvlo.net/PDA/MDA/FreshnClean.htm
You can then add each CAB individually to your taste. This author suggested that you must load the items in red, but I only added four of these and my device works fine. In fact, for a while I didn't have any of these CAB's loaded, and the only thing I missed was SmartDialer.
I don't use any internet features except wifi (freebies, not T-Mo hotspots), so I left most of it out.
Cheers, phone come this morning and im in the process of doing this stuff
I haven't heard anything about unlocking the P3300 lately...
So guys, this is a reminder!
Let's join forces to unlock this friggin machine!
I'm trying things myself, but it looks like I'm the only one...
(I could be wrong)
But after I've seen the P3600 unlock soft download link in the "Trinity" side
of the forum I went kinda crazy...
Dudez.. Let's ROCK and UNLOCK!!!! (plz)
any luck so far ? will a hard reset plus soft reset (to delete the T-Mobile soft) work ? Hope to hear from you.
thom
2 delete t-mo $hit just soft rst when popup "..customizing your dev will start in 3sec" or how is it
Dudez... U can't just delete the simlock...
It's not possible by Hard-Resetting or Soft-Resetting...
U need to have a lot of experience with cracking/hacking to get the simlock off, but nowadays hackers/crackers became lazy...
I'm trying my best to study, but it takes a lot of time and I don't think I'm going to be able to research this within a few months. I'm not good enough.
But I'm doing my best...
How about you experts? Does the coffee taste good!?

I wonder if Pof has joined forces with imeicheck.co.uk to stiffle his bid to provide the free version of the Atemis Unlocker for the masses....
Well, if anyone sees him, tell him not to let us all down...
Maybe Wm6 will inspire someone, demand for the device will surely increase.
Will it make the unlock procedure slightly different?
Trust Pof he will something out for us,i have also posted in the Trinity and Hermes forum requesting Pof,Des and Olipro for the SSPL tool for the Artemis,im sure they are working on it,lets hope something fast comes out of it.

dont think (or I dare to say) that unlock procedure doesnt depend on OS version. Maybe on radio and bootloader - unlock Universal U have to use some special radio, SSPL is some part of bootloader if i remember.

I have Cingular 8125, I used one of your methord and unlocked the Sim, I could used T-Mobile SIM and it works. Also I ran CID umlockd.
Here is my question for grat experts.
I see many many Rom upgrade, don't know which one to start with . I do not want to make 8125 as Door step.
I try with one of ROM, I get error 262
Any link or direction would be realy helpfull and appreciate all your hard work.

Did you mean 8525? I hope so. If you really mean 8125, then you need to get yourself over to the WIZARD forum. You will have a brick if you flash 8525 ROM onto your 8125.

you can consider yourself lucky you only got an error and not a paperweight....
go to the wizard forum and in my opinion, as a 8125 owner until 2 days ago, flash the TNT 1933 rom.
good luck!
Ditto, the TNT Rom's for the Wizard are amazingly fast and stable!
Yes it's 8125. I guess I'm lucky.
I also have 8525, could I unlock and apply any latest ROM ?
Thanks for any information.

You shouldn't HAVE to unlock it - the updater will do all the work. Check out the guides I linked in my previous post - it wil make the process easier, more clear and safer.
Do U have 8125 or 8525?
I have both. I just load tnt-1933 fro 8125, look cool.
I also have 8525, I need clear instruction for that, I do not like to messed up.

Unless HTC releases its new rom for X7510, we need to use a cooked versions. Then we need to have it CID unlocked, as I assume. OliNex group has best knowledge about this. Lets ask them.
customizing is fine
I don´t like my german T-Mobile Style. ;-)
Crazy, why it is different to the old x750x Devices?
Couldn't help but notice how no senior members responded to this thread!
Seriously, I have a T-Mobile Ameo 16 GB and would dearly love to unlock the damn thing and flash a better ROM to it, except of course I can't!
Please guys, what can I do to speed the process of making an Athe400 unlocker?
Is this any good - has anybody had any success using their services?
http://www.unlock-htc.com/UK/index.php?
Unfortunately, according to the website Ameo 16GB/HTC x7510 etc. isn't supported, since this isn't an official HTC offer but some Chinese or wherever they come from company - just like the one in Ebay, if not the same who offer their unlock-service for "older" products on the market.
So in short, still no (official) ROM update for the "new" X7510 at this point..maybe in five minutes.
no worries

Hi CMONEX,
I got HTC Advantage X7510 (T-Mobile AMEO 16GB) which is SIM locked, after
boot up it shows "you have tried 15 times, please wait until
timeout", I tried with the ROM upgrade still no luck as it's showing
the "No Service". The phone is booting properly and all the other things
work except call facility.
Device name : HTC_X7510
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professionl
CE OS 5.2.19209 (Build 19209.1.0.2)
ROM version : 3.27.405.3
Radio version: 1.58.00.00
Protocol version : 32.91.7020.20W
ExtROM version : 3.27.405.104
Model No. : ATHE400
I've have successfully done x7510_HSPL365. Boot loader now shows:
ATHE400
IPL-v2.02
ATHE400
SPL-v3.65.Olinex
I also tried with WM6.5.3-23153_128DPI_x7510_6.2_VICO ROM but it also gives
"No Service" and now reverted it back to
RUU_Athena_HTC_WWE_3.27.405.3_1.58.00.00_Ship.
Could you please advise and help me to unlock it, your help and advise will
highly be appreciated and surely will make the donation for your good work.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Anshuman
