Hello,
Here's some concrete work from the IMEI update project.
Please use the attached file and report your findings here.
Instructions:
1. Extract the ZIP
2. Run the file iWizard
3. Make sure ActiveSync is running and your phone is connected via USB
4. Make sure Windows Mobile has finished booting
5. Click "Next" in iWizard, let it work (shouldn't take more than 10 seconds)
Let us know:
1. If iWizard worked:
a. The model of your phone
b. The IMEI # and checksum codes if you like (you can PM for your security)
2. If iWizard failed:
a. How it failed
b. Any error messages, or screenshots of failure
c. The model of your phone
The goals of this alpha release are as follows:
1. To determine which HTC phone models work with our method
2. To determine the algorithm of the IMEI checksum codes so we can update
Thanks for your interest!
Don't get too excited - this alpha release does NOT change your IMEI yet. That is coming soon, as soon as we know which phone models the above method works on and is reliable with!
Note: The iWizard works great on my i-mate k-jam.
I tried this a minute ago.
My qtek 9100 is connected to my pc, can synchronise with active synch but I received the error message I attached.
I have spv m500, its synchronized with my pc, but I recive the same error as canstb said...
sorry for my first quick reply.
I was thinking that my qtek9100 was cid unlocked apparently it was not. I used the tool lokiwiz v2b to unlock it and ran your program again.
and here is the result.
Thanks, please keep the results coming in! We'll figure what the checksum alg. is and then fix your phones :lol:
Guys, I think you should PM Sinan rather then publically posting your IMEIs.
As we all know, cloning and changing IMEIs may be illegal in your jurisdiction; additionally, publically posting your IMEI is liable to end up with it being cloned by thieves not from this board etc. Not wise, so be careful, and please stay legal.
V
thanks for your warning.
sinan, I am deleting my attachment to my previous message. if you need the info again, just ask for it.
can anyone tell how to download lokiwiz, and how can i find out if my Magician iz CID locked or not?
and is there any tool for unlocking SPV m500 (magician)?
thnx
Yes, can you please PM it? Also, did the tool accurately detect your real IMEI?
Everyone, please PM your IMEI and checksums for security...or if you're not comfortable with that, please just say if the tool correctly detected your IMEI on your phone model, and report the phone model.
aWizard/Lokiwiz can be used to CID unlock phones, available here on this forum as well...pretty easy to find and use them, they're free tools as well.
You may need to downgrade your ROM first...
i used lokiwiz to unlock my device, now some other message appears, here is the pic... and the program doesent stop, it tries to find imei, but it seems like it will never stop...
Is this on Vista? Please see if it works on a regular XP box...if not, thanks for letting us know, be sure to try with the next alpha.
no its not vista, its just a theme for xp.
so you think there might be a solution for my device to?
Was the unlock successful with the CID unlock tool?
I think you may need to downgrade your ROM and CID unlock your tool first.
According to what I've read in another discussions, this tool would work only on devices that store IMEI on DOC chips
These are - nearly all smartphones produced by HTC, and communicators like HTC Wizard and Prophet. The tool would never work on HTC Himalaya, BlueAngel, Universal, etc.
You can easily determine would the tool work on your device or not. Just take the ROM update tool, extract it with WinRAR. If it has the file "radio_.nbf" - the tool would not work at all.
The tool should not be called "HTC IMEI Restore Wizard" as it does not support all HTC devices. It should be renamed to something like "HTC IMEI-on-DOC Editor tool".

it is easy to determ which models work, just buy all the HTC devices and try yourself and you will know. I am doing same thing, since i don't want risc affect any of the users phones.

Rascal you sound like a baby. We should try to help each other, not put each other down. And remember business is business! You couldnt have thought that you would be the only person that could provide a imei repare tool forever!!
Maybe now you will drop the price of your dongle or even better, make the program work without the dongle!!
Hopefully the release of mimar's tool will drive you to produce better things.
AFAIK the Wizard has a radio rom file, doesn't it? I've used the tool on my Wizard just fine.
Raskal, tale the suggestions of our good friends here - update your obsolete sales mechanism, get rid of the pkey dongle, that will probably be the only way for you to remain competitive.
Great work MimarSinan
thanks for share and not change a my device imei ..
my device : HTC Magician
device name: MDA Compact
Your device is CID unlocked, right?

The spv M500 is a Windows Mobile 2003SE device. As far as I am aware this tool is for Windows Mobile 5 devices.

Is there any where I can find step by step instructions for installing the special ROM? I just bought a siemens SX56, it's locked on ATT, I want to use it on Tmobile. I dont have a serial cable, only the cradle it came with, which is USB. I have a 128MB SD flash card, but no reader/writer attached directly to my computer.
I am unclear on how to install the software on my XDA from my computer. I am a total putz when it comes to computers, so if anyone out there knows of a site for dummies, or would be patient enough to walk me through it, I'd be really grateful. I'm dying to play with my cool new toy!
ROM: A:30:09 ENG
Radio Version: A:33:02
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/SpecialEditionROM
just download the file ... connect your xda to the cradle and power ... and run the file
It Worked!!
Thank you very much Biso007. The program fianlly kicked in and worked flawlessly.
To those that run this site- you guys kick ass! This is one of the most helpful, best organized forums I've ever been in. Its a real credit to your software and helpfulness that some one who can barely program their toaster was able to figure out how to change the OS and unlock their new PDA. It feels so good to do it myself instead of wimpering to one of the pay services to unlock my phone. This site has a permanent place on y favorites list. I'll be contributing some $$ as soon as I finish school in may and have a job. Til then- bless you all and you efforts to free us from corporate red tape!
Have Siemens SX56 w/ PPC 2003
I tried using the xdaunlock.exe pgm and get the error message "error getting unlock code." Can I still use the special ROM w/ PPC 2003? What and how will loading this new ROM affect my phone? Do I need to do a hard-reset and lose all of my data when doing this?
I would like to unlock the phone, but am a bit confused as to what to do...please help.
Thanks,
Kingmhg

You need to flash your rom with the special edition rom, once that is done you will have an unlocked phone, you can then download wm2003 form one of the kitchens and flash that to your phone.
I'm new to this forum and it seems like a great resource. I have seen this question answered but the answers are still above my head in terms of complexity. I've got an AT&T branded SX56 running 2002 and an XDA-Developers ROM (I think). It is unlocked, I am guessing through the use of an XDA Developers tool for unlocking. I'm in Colorado and using the phone with T-mobile. My question is this, I'd like to upgrade to 2003 and have downloaded the file to do so from Siemens website for free, which is great. It had some nice enhancements and I thought I'd upgrade to it. So, I downloaded/installed the new ActiveSync v3.71 and then tried to run the upgrade. I got the same message many have gotten apparently saying that the ROM Image is not compatible. The specs are;
current
Model PW10A1
ROM 3.17
English
upgraded
Model PW10B1
ROM A.30
English
In reading through the posts it seems that I need to upgrade the ROM of the device, but I still get lost looking at "cooking a ROM", etc and what exactly I need to do. Making this a little more urgent is the fact that after I tried to upgrade the phone (which gave me the ROM error) my internet connection on the phone (which was working fine) suddenly doesn't work with explorer or outlook on my phone giving me an error "Trouble Connecting; Unable to connect with current settings" even though I didn't change the settings and they look exactly as they did before. So, I feel like I've messed something else up on the phone even though it didn't get to install the whole upgrade.
So, any advice for a novice? Thanks in advance, I appreciate any help you can give.
Best regards,
chefandy
the official AT&T release for WM2003 is an exe file contains both ROM & RSU upgrade, and it aparently designed for PW10B devices (900/1900 MHz).
i think the first part of the faulty upgrade (usually RSU) affected your device ... i really hope not
chech your device info and tell us what's there. if u can still get to the boot loader screen and activesync can still connect to the device, then it's not a severe damage. I think successful RSU upgrade with the right stack would solve it.
I'm not sure what the boot loader screen is, but the device still syncs just fine and seems to be working ok except for the internet connection issue. The funny part is that I can connect to the GPRS connection by going to the connections screen, but then when I transfer to Outlook or Explorer they do not recognize the connection as something they can use.
Is the Siemens upgrade I downloaded (http://www.my-siemens.com/MySiemens...C%2FMC%2FSX56POCKETPCPHONE%2Fdanda%2F,00.html) different from the AT&T upgrade you mention? I also saw there was a T-mobile upgrade to 2003 but it was not available when I tried to download it from tmobile.com. Thanks!
That's great! .. ... It seems I misunderstood your issue ... I thought you lost the RSU part.
I think something wrong happens to the registry values ... you see, there is a reference for each defined connection in the registry which all applications that may require to connect to GPRS or WAP or MMS can refer to.
I suggest that you delet ALL connections and start the setting from scratch ... I can't guarantee it will work since some applications may be required to be uninstalled and reinstalled to use the new connections references (if it has smart uninstaller!!).
The last resort is a hard reset which will bring the registry to the original setup.
Well, I did what you suggested and started with a new connection and it worked :lol: Thanks!
Now I'm back to the original question about whether or not I can safely upgrade to WM2003 or not? Thanks again for all your help.
The answer is YES! ... it's easy to upgrade ur ROM to WM2003 if u know what ur doing.
spend some time reading this forum on how to cook a new ROM from the kitchen ... and it's better to get yourself SD card for flashing and backup.
So i installed WM2005 on my phone and now i get
device authenification failure....
please contact the product manufacturer. For reference please provide your device ID.

(yeah i know it's all my fault)
now i don't know how to get back. the only thing i can get to is the bootloader screen and i have a couple of roms but the only one will work with the mtty program that communicates with the phone are .bin files which i ddon't have. Any ideas guys? I kinda just want my phone back.
i am really confused as to why it doesn't work. maybe it's because its for the c500 only. but looking at this link
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/3848.html
there is one for the audiovox.
did you try to run the normal upgrade when the phone is connected via usb in BL?
i've tried the uk update but it says i need to be connected to activesync. boing to go buy a card reader today to try backing up from the sd card.
Hello to all.
First:
I will NOT be held responsible for any problems caused by this tool.
I'm releasing the 0.1 version of the Wizard Unlocker. It's similar to the imei-check.co.uk unlocker (it patches the same bit), however it doesn't cost you £20 per bit :wink: .
Version 0.2: New CID unlocking abitity
Credits for the 0.2 version go to SPV-Developers, namely: itsme, Arc and Arisme...
Version 0.2a: CID unlocking abitity FIXED
Credits for the 0.2a version go to Chan, who took care of the errors I managed to punch in the script when I packed it the first time... Thanks!
Now version 0.2b: Sim Lock abitity FIXED
Credits for the 0.2b version go to kpcomp, who found the missing GOTO End instruction after a SIM Lock... Thanks!
I can't stress enough that this work is heavily base upon the itsme tools, so my thanks to him. Also, spv-developers and xda-developers boards were an invaluable resource.
I would also like to thank all the people that supplied their phone info in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33479
Ok, now the instructions...
1 - Unzip lokiwiz.zip to somewhere in your computer
2 - Copy EnableRapi.cab to your Wizard
3 - Execute the EnableRapi.cab in your phone. Wait for it to finish
4 - Guarantee that your phone is connected via activesync with the computer
5 - Execute lokiwiz.bat (on your computer! My inbox is filled with this kind of error) and follow the instructions on your screen...
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q - Will it hard-reset my device?
A - No. It will do a soft reset at the end of the process for applying the changes
Q - I locked my device and now it shows only the SIM Lock window
A - Get your phone showing the SIMLock window. Connect it via activesync. Use the tool to unlock your phone.
Q - Why does a r2sd backup doesn't mantain the unlocking info?
A - r2sd makes a backup of the rom. The unlocking info is stored in the Disk-on-chip, a different memory space altogether.
Q - How about the CID unlock tool? (for using any type of roms)
A - Integrated on Version 0.2.
Q - I'm having problems with Unlocker not connecting to the phone
A - Disable all kinds of Antivirus, Firewalls and similar applications before running Lokiwiz.
Bye to all,

Anybody want to try before me? ;-)

The file with everything that's needed is attached to the post
Fan-tas-tic! BTW, what are the "utils" for?

THANKS!!!!
Utils are part of the itsutils... they are used by the unlocking tool.
You can find more info about the its tools in the xda wiki...
Bye,
Ricardo Afonso
great job!!

will this work an an MDA PRO
Hi,
thanks you are a real machinegod !!!
but the problem and the main question is now........will this work on my MDA PRO of T-Mobile (Qtek 9000) with an T-Mobile Simlock.......!!!!
Please let me know if i can try? Because if it dont work i maybe crash/hamr my device.....Please help us......their are a lot of people who needs an sim unlocker for the MDA PRO and de Orange M5000 asap!
If i can help you with information etc. please let me know.......and if this will work also please let us know
Ok thanks!
Great tool
Before I try, will this also work if your phone is connected via bluetooth- activesync?(i ask because, activesync with the usb cable does not work for me, and crashes my pc) I will wait for a response before trying, just to be on the safe side
Thnx again!
Hi,
MDA Pro will not work with this unlocker. It has a different architecture. While Wizard is very similar to a Typhoon Smartphone, Universal is something different.
I would not recomend to try it in a Universal, although it should do anything bad...

It should... but do you really want to put your radio CID on the line? (Yes, I don't trust bluetooth a bit...)
Bye now,

can we get a definitive list of what devices this works on? A chum was going to use this on his K-Jam...
thanks,

Will unlocking hard reset my device?
No it won't...
I'm still waiting for a few "success" posts before I try it on my vario, but wondered, does this do everything that imei-check does, i.e does it SIM unlock your phone as well as unlock the bootloader?
Thanks
I can confirm that it works! tried it a few minutes ago!!! 8) Now i can use my t-mobile sim in my m3000!
Thank you!! you're great!
hmmm
but if i try this at my MDA PRO.....is this possible?
i mean if it not works is it possible that it harms my device......
I unlocked my XDA mini s ( O²) now my T-Mobile card works fine.
Thank you!
I am new of the forum, I have just purchased a nm8 used magiacian (t-mobile MDA) it is I bring a problem.
The preceding owner has begun an updating of the rom that has not gone to good end and the device doesn't now set out anymore and from the following error:
USB V1.00 (if connected USB).
Serial V1.00 (if disconnected).
Bootloader mode ?
What must I do for going on?
I hope in a help
Best regards Luca
help
I pray you helped me, the first post is from beginners, but believe I have followed the standard procedure.
unloaded the rom
unloaded no-id
always tried upgrade more times failure.
HELP !
for the beginning you should use a standard ROM to get familiar with the device.
just go to the t-mobile website, downloads, chose your device type and then look for files named softwareupdates or so.
they will be in zip-format.
there will be an application in there. just go into bootloadermode, connect your device and start the upgrade. it's completely guided and will last about 20min.
although most of the ppl that read/write in this forum didn't install the eROM, I think you can start with all the cusomization stuff. If you have become more familiar with your mdac, you can try other modified ROM's.
just ask if you have more questions
greetz Stefan
i have to say that using standard rom (jam rom downloaded from club imate)
the upgrading applications hangs.....
and leave magician in booting mode, ready to be erased....
i was desperaded, but last experiences with motorola phones and its firmwares advice me to try again
so i had to launch againg that apps and it starts erasing actual rom....
i think there is a bug in few roms.... may be only in its installer
Have tried with the T-mobile rom but doesn't even go with that!
Caslu,
Have you tried a hard-reset?
If so: I guess you've got a decent TMO magician rom downloaded. So get maupgradeut_noid.exe from the ftp. Extract all the files from your TMO shipped-rom & put them in a directory, so you get some .nbf files, enterbl.exe & maupgradeut.exe. Now put the maupgradeut_noid.exe in the same directory. Connect your magician to the usb. It should read usb v1.00, if your magician isn't in bootloader press camera&power&soft-reset at the same time for a few secs. till you get the usb or serial reading.
After connecting it to the usb execute the maupgradeut_noid.exe twice, first execute might give an error 120 second should finish.
If this fails make sure you got a magician & not a charmer.
If it's a magician return it, cause I think it's broken. Hey why buy a device that's in an inconclusive state??
Regards, M
I think really that It broken.
Have picked it because little cost!
non one reply .......

Download the latest shipped ROM for the country your magician was first sold in.
Ensure Activesync is in the normal mode (USB check is ON).
Run the executable ROM update program.
