Hi,
First off, I am clueless, it is going to be apparent anyway, lol
I purchased a supposedly unlocked Siemens SX56 off ebay which is fully functional except when I put in my cingular sim card it says "SIM Lock: Please input unlock code:
SId:______________________"
So....I am trying to unlock it with a usb cradle using the XDA-Developers Special Edition ROM 1.2, & I cna follow all the steps untill I start to step 2 the release notes, it then opens "Warning 001: Power Adapter Not Plugged In Please plug the power adapter into your pocket pc" I don't have the travel charger that plugs into the cradle, is this necessary?
I also tried the XDAunlock but I don't think my system is new enough for that, b/c after I move the file to my XDA using active sync I can't open it on my pocket pc, it says "cannot find xda2unlock (or one of it's components) Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available."
What am I doing wrong...please help!
Thanks,
Megan
Also..
The Device Info is as follows:
ROM version: A.20.17 ENG
ROM date:05/15/03
Radio Version: A.20.10
Protocol version: 324e4
Thanks,
Megan

Looks like you have used the wrong tool. xda2unlock is for himalaya device xdaunlock for the wallaby...
Anyway. i think this tool is not working with your currently installed ROM Version.
For flashing a new ROM to your device you need the cradle or an usb cable, that also powers your device. If you do not have this, you have to flash the device using the "SD-Card"-Method.

Thanks so much Stefan! I did get the power cord to the USB cradle and was able to download the XDA Developers Special edition ROM!
Thanks again!

Hello!
What can I do, if I don't have any cable? (no usb or serial cable)
ROM 3.14.16 GER
Radio 4.21
Is there any chance to unlock?
THX for help!

Without serial or usb cable? Do you have a card reader? How do you synchronise your xda or load programs.? Anyway what you need is the xdaunlock.exe program, you need to get it into your xda via sd card or beam it using infrared beam from another device, then use file explorer to locate file, tap on xdaunlock.exe then it should unlock.
I just noticed you have radio version 4.21, there are issues with that radio stack and xdaunlock so it maybe best for you to look at the different forum headings and learn a little about this.
HI,
tomorow I will get a USB cable, so I can update the ROM to version 3.19.01 from o2 GER. I would like to use xdaunlock.exe .
Could someone tell me, if it then works?????
ROM 3.19.01 GER
Radio 4.21

Kajakarz
As long as you tick the xdaunlock box when building the rom it should work fine after you have cooked and burned your rom. If you use the special edition developers rom it unlocks automatically on first boot after the new rom is burned, however I had to look for the xdaunlock program on my xda when using the kitchen rom, once found I just tapped the xdaunlock.exe and it worked fine. I would advise you strongly to back up your existing rom via the sd card method or using the tools available on the forum before burning a new rom, better safe than sorry.
Your other option is to download the xdaunlock program from here http://xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/ then copy it to your xda, use file explorer to locate where you put it and then tap and execute it from there.
Hi,
It doesn't work. My configuration now ROM 3.19.01 GER and Radio 4.21. There ist no wireless modem application in that version, that' why xdaunlock.exe doesn't work. Is it possible to install Wireless modem as applikation?
If I use "special rom" to unlock, is ot possible to turn back to original o2 rom?
THX for help!

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
wbr
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
@Biso007

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!
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!

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,

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.
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.

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

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.

?? 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.....
