Unlock German ROM ??

Hi.
Is it possible to use xdaunlock with any german ROM Version. I tried it with 3.02 and 3.19 and it did not work at all.
Is it somehow possible to install the "XDA-developers Special Edition ROM" and reconvert the system to german afterwards.
Once the radio stack is unlocked is it possible to re-install a different (in this case german) ROM ?
I will be thankful for ANY useful ideas to unlock my german ROM.
Hanno

Radio Stack
Additional Info:
My Radio Stack is 4.21

simple backup your ROM and boot with SD.
than install special edition rom, you phone will be unlocked.
you could restore your German version later!

Backup
Since I don't have a SD-Card yet is there another way to make a backup and restore the ROM ?

Unlocking
If you have a serial cable for the XDA, then use the XDA-Manipulator Software. It worked for my XDA.
Greetings, Kaputter

if you don't have SD card, you need to buy one to get everything safe!

Has anybody unlocked the xda with radio stack 4.21, I remember reading that it had been tested with 4.20 and earlier but I see no feedback on later versions.

Thanks for your support:
Could anybody please tell me what I have to do now step by step in order to get my xda unlocked SAFELY ?
(How to make a backup/ what to do if flashing new rom fails).
Isn' it possible to simply re-install the original ROM files if there are some problems ?

you need get a SD card (>64m) to backup your XDA to ensure safety!
before flashing/unlocking ...

....and how exactly to make a backup on SD ? which tool or function ? (and how to re-load the backup in cas of problems)
Since there have been reports on crashed xda after having tried to flash the ROM I don't want to make a stupid mistake.
Thanks for support, this forum seems to be the only place around where one can find experienced xda users.

How to downgrade RSU or swith from 900/1900 to 900/1800

Hi all,
Thanks to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=39630#39630 and especially remarks from hb88xx, I successfully managed to recover from my own mistakes (that many people have done as well apparently).
Here is the story:
* I bought my O2 xda from Telstra in Australia where the band is 900/1800. It is a PW10A1 device.
* I then cooked a rom with Yorch's kitchen and as many others, didn't read enough posts before doing so and opted for the infamous EXE method as I had successfully upgraded once before from O2 using this method.
* As my bootloader is 5.17 and my cooked rom was based upon T-Mobile, I was stuck: impossible to downgrade the bootloader because of TMO checks (the wallaby patch doen't work) and impossible to up/downgrade using the SD card method because of the bootloader version.
* Still, I could use my device but my WM2003 was very buggy.
* Out of hope, I decided to upgrade to another TMO rom, but this time an official one (4.01.16) as I read it was quite stable.
* That was the BIG mistake as I also did the RSU upgrade and I ended up with a 900/1900 device, having the 4.21 RSU.
* I tried many of the tips I read from this forum, but none of them worked and I had to buy a cheap cellphone to use my SIM card on it and keep my xda as a pda.
Basically, what you need to do is the following:
* Using the attached file or the official TMO upgrade, extract and copy the files into the \Windows directory of the xda.
* Detach it from the craddle and run the EXE on it.
* It says things in german (performing upgrade) and then a final status (whatever "erfolreich", ie successful). Click OK and finally, reboot the device.
* You now have a 3.23.11 RSU.
Once again, thanks a lot to all participants to this forum and especially hb88xx.
And thanks also for the remark below
Regards,
Bob.

Hey mate ...
It's great that you have learned this lesson, but now you may cause troubles to some unexperienced users by posting this file with this name
Simply, what you have posted is the typical RSU upgrade 4 files you should find in ANY RSU exe file, but because you posted this file with the name RSU_Fix, I 'm afraid some one will just use it with a B device thinking it will solve his problem and endup with a dead RSU.
So, plz remove this file or rename it RSU_3_23.zip or so

Hi BobMorane.
I am having the same problem as yours, upgraded to WM2003 and can't go back to ppc2002.
Sounds like You have reverted your xda rom to ppc2002, didn't you?
Don't quite understand those that listed in your post. Could you explain a little more?
Thanks.

XDA1 bootloader v5.17

Hi bob,
I'm a little confused - I understand RSU 4.21 is for 900/1800. It is the RSU that o2asia currently distributes.
My XDA is a PW10A1 and currently has RSU4.21 (from o2asia), Wallaby 5.17 (no idea where it came from... am guessing o2asia as well) and T-mobile WM2003 4.01.16 ENG (.EXE cooked from Lumpistefans)
As a result, I'm stuck as well. However, I can still use my phone on GSM900/1800; as long as I avoid settings-phone-band; all is well; but if I do wander into that, a reset to the bootloader-calander-gsm900/1800 solves the problem (albit temporary...)
Anyway, I'm meeting up with a friend to borrow a SD card+reader over this weekend or the next, so that I can change the ROM (get out of theT-mobile WM2003 rut). Am a little concerned about what you wrote however:

Could you please eleborate more on how the wallaby patch didn't work? How did downgrading the RSU to 3.23.11 help? Are you able to replace your T-mobile ROM or Wallaby 5.17 following that? Or are you still stuck, but at least the phone works on GSM900/1800?
More information please?

Hi,
Some anwers below.
RaymondB :
Actually, I didn't revert to PPC202 and I still enjoy the 2003 features, but I managed to get rid of a 900/1900 issue.
xdagirl :
My problem was slightly different as I did not have the RSU4.21 for asian devices. My aim with the post was more to explain how to get out of the original T-Mobile rom lock-in (I did not use a cooked one because of my 5.17 wallaby). I assume you can do it as well with the asian RSU4.21. If you have it, I can try it and let you know.
As for the 5.17 wallaby issue, I was stuck in the midst of 2 issues : the 5.17 doesn't let you access the SD card method and you need first to downgrade it to 5.15. The patch to do this can't be used if you have installed a T-Mobile rom as it blocks the connection. I couldn't get around this and that's the reason I upgraded to the offical TMO rom.

Thanks for your reply, Bob.
So you are still with WM2003. Is this the new official one or the buggy one that you've had earlier. If its the new one, how did you do the flashing?
Did you downgrade the bootloader to v5.15?
I really wish to go back to ppc2002, as the current one seems to be quite unstable. At times, it reset itself, especially when some changes was made to some particular today plugin. It also turn on itself, which eat away the precious battery power. Also, the phone setting function and the band switching utilities will hard reset the xda.
Sorry for so much bugging. Hope your could help.
Thanks and cheers.

XDA1 bootloader v5.17

Downgrade

Just upgraded to the new rtom, and now it's impossible to go back to my 1.6.7.1.
HELPPP!!!!! ...would be much appreciated

I understand your trouble.
First, download aWizard from the ftp site:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Misc/aWizard-V1_3beta2.zip
From within aWizard, enable RAPI, then run CID Unlock to be safe.
Then download this file:
ftp://xda:[email protected]__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
Run the program and it will downgrade your phone to the following:
ipl and spl: 1.01
gsm: 1.12.10
rom: 1.05.04.12
Once installed you can opt out of the extended rom by reseting after the initial setup. Use the wizard unlocking tool and soft reset. You can then delete and write new files to the extended rom if you like.
This rom works well if you do not need pushmail or run stereo bluetooth. At this point you may upgrade the rom and radio if you like.
Please be aware that the 2.07 radio rom found in the newer os rom does not succesfully mate with a 1.x os rom. I hope this helps.
Best,
DrBig74

Hi,
Even worse than it already is? Jeezus... :?
I cannot use because my ROM is a Greek one, and the new one lacks everything Greek until the Greek guys translate it by the end of the month. I was stupid enough to want to test it, without checking about downgrading first.
But I finally made it

the nba file could potentially be found on the ftp site...though i'm not sure...
I have the T-Mobile MDA (US) so before I did any editing I backed up the rom, splash, etc... using aWizard which generated the nba files for the ROM, Radio, splash, etc...

OS 1.8.0.0
please help me
can someone upload a shiped rom please italian if posible cause original os was italian
please help

I thought I did not unlock CID before flashing your Herald (it is HTC or Dopod or ???). Until now the best way to rescue it is bringing your PPC to the service.
But before doing this you can do some following action:
- Remove the battery for about 20 min and put it again.
- Hard reset.

its a htc
i will try battery solution and feed back
thanks

NOT, devices mostly get bricked because they are not CID unlocked. So the phone will only allow to flash the ORIGINAL language and ROM version etc.. good luck ya'll, by the way my Herald is dead too, so join the club

there is not a way to edit the image so to keep CID control away?
Is it possible to uncid the phone via USB bootloader mode?
Thanks
Christian

As far as I know (or what the XDA-dev forum can do) there is no utility for Removing and/or replacing the CID lock. There is imei-check.co.uk, but some people are having problems with that prog, and it can only be used when your device has OS running and ActiveSymc is connected, sorry pal

Hi,
I have the same problem than you,
but i have another Herald with the same rom as mine,
Is there any way for me to dump the rom from the first herald
and put it in the second?
Thx for your answers.

hi,
I may be found a way to unbrick the herald
but i need to know the right command line to do it
please help.

Herc.

I think the codes e.g. d2s 80000000 02000000 are indeed only for the XDAII, i think the 80000000 is the location of the image storend on the ROM of the phone, so we need to have the codes for the locations of the images.
But i just thought of the flashing of Herald using the SD card.. I believe it can only flash SIGNED nbh files, but i'm not sure.. Could someone who's a die hard please help out, with this way we could unbrick devices with ROM dumps from someone else

hey
first about your question about which are better you can see this
http://my-symbian.com/s60v3/review_n95_artemis.php
and for flashing your mobile.. you have to do the following:
1. unlock your mobile by USPL [don't flash any rom without this step]
2.pick a rom you think it's the best for you
and finally while sycronizing run the update utility which are in the folder of the rom you picked.
and that's all

you can only flash original htc rom if you don't unlock the device
cid unlocking is not sim unlocking and has nothing to do with sim or provider,it just removes some locks regarding the operating system
generally there are hard spl (uspl) and jump spl (or soft)
hard spl - cid unlocks the device permanently
jump spl - enables you to flash only one rom (for further usage you have to do the process again...but it doesn't matter right now)
only hard spl (uspl) is developed for artemis and is working like charm
i flashed few artemises many times and all works great

i found this rom http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showpost.php?p=3863781&postcount=70, can i flash with this rom without cid unlocking , my device Ipl 3.13.0001, spl 3.13.0000, gsm 02.94.90, os .13.0.0.0 , this rom 3.13.405....thnx...and this is a windows mobile 6.1 or ????

it's wm6
i'm affraid that you'll have to unlock it because unlocking is NOT required only for flashing original rom provided by htc specially for your device... in your case htc can provide you only FRE rom
so to flash WWE rom you'll have to unlock it
don't be afraid of doing that...thousands did it before you without any damage to the phone
unlocking is far better than bricking ( state where your device is unusable because of flashing other rom than the original ---bricking is in most cases reversible ,but don't play with it)
still i have to say "use at your own risk"
