Hi all,
I've unlocked my phone successfully using an unlocker from unlockitnow.com (I know yall can start hating now for me paying but I tried POFs version a hundred times and it wouldnt work...)
I'm using the Softbank X01HT in USA, the Japanese SIM card I use connects to T-Mobile GSM network. Now that I've run the unlocker, I put in Softbank SIM it still connects fine. Great. But when I use a T-Mobile SIM, it never connects and when you try to access the settings for the phone it says Phone not ready try back in 15 seconds (which never ever works).
I am using the Black-Shadow-IV ROM from jasjamming over at win4mobile,
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.04 (which the unlocker put on there it appears, was using 1.40.Olipro)
Radio Version 1.14, the sticky one
I don't see how it connects to a T-Mobile GSM network with a Softbank SIM and not with a T-Mobile SIM but thats whats going on here. Is it fake-unlocked??
Any help here is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nick
desperate
pof, anyone, i need help.
How can I unlock this post Dec Softbank X01HT step by step. There are over 20 posts to this and its not easy to follow. Plus the pof unlocker claims to work with Radio 1.14 and it hasn't been doing the trick.
thanks in advance,
Nick

Hi,
I sucessfully unlocked my t-mobile pocket pc phone edition which i bought in the USA. Back in Holland my BEN (a.k.a. t-mobile) sim didn't work because it doesn't support the 1800 network.
After the unlocking i bought a Vodafone SIM and it works. Thank you xda-developers!
But how do i get a rom update since i am not a t-mobile or O2 customer? Can anyone get me a link?

Upgrade 900/1900
Just make very sure you never install the RSU (Radio Stack Upgrade) for anything but a 900/1900 phone, or you'll be in trouble...
You can safely install the O2 RUU Rom Upgrade packages to upgrade the PDA part, either normally or through the bootloader.
Just get the update from t-mobile
Just get the update from t-mobile's USA website
All you need is a valid T-mobile subscriber number to punch into their web site.
The entire block of 10-digit numbers 801808xxxx belongs to t-mobile. Try different numbers till you find one that works

i could be totally wrong here but maybe its your sim card at fault, maybe it isnt data activated. i tried my xda with my old - working - t-mobile payg card and altho' the xda worked i could neither make nor receive calls. i think it has something to do with the services offered by providers.
ian
Did think that m80, will they "data activated" if i call Orange??
Thanks
Does the sim work in another phone, has the sim ever worked in the xda, have you tried a different sim in the xda, I dont know where you got the phone but it may be that it is blocked to all networks, did you ever see the xda working before the upgrade to developers rom 1.2
Yes the sim works in another phone.
No the sim has never worked in the XDA.
No i didnt see the XDA working b4 i upgraded.
Thanks m80, any ideas??

there's only one way to find out
A little update
I have contacted Orange and they have enable GPRS is there anything else they need to enable, as it is still not working!!!!!!
I have upgraded the Radio Stack to 4.21.00 still no joy!
Any ideas, it searches for a netwrok then says No Signal
Thanks again in advance

sim/xda problems
sometimes the switch on process can take a while. have you tried the card in another phone? do you have a non-payg sim card that you could test in the phone?
do you know someone with a card?
have you unlocked the phone?
i really don't know what to suggest but if you've tried every combination of cards and activation then its either the software or the phone.
mug someone with an xda and use there sim card.

Orange with No Signal
I have a Orange contract sim and it does'nt have a signal either but it worked until i updated the the radio stack to 4.21 but a downgrade is not possible, i have tried t-mobile and still the same problem. if anyone knows how to downgrade it to radio stack 4.01 which is 1 that i know that works. Lets hope XDA-Developers and suss out how to copy the GSM In the Wallaby Bootloader. if anyone can solve this problem you should be king.....
use the band switching tool lol
its most probally on 900mhz (voda,3,bt) instead of 1800 (orange, virgin, 121)
1900 is the american signal also if you have upgraded your phone to pc2003 then you cant get it to work on orange then lol coz it only allows you to do 900 or 1900 :roll:
Thanks alot for all of your help guys
I have tried an O2 payas u go Sim and it works, very strange!!
But Yes it is defo unlocked!!
Will keep trying the Orange Sim and find out why it wont work!!
What are the setting for GPRS for O2?? Please
Thanks again all
Hi
I just bought a Siemens SX56 which locked to AT&T wireless. I want to use this on T-mobile network with Windows Mobile 2003.
I read through several threads trying to figure what is the best way to get to my final state.
I see people discussing about two things "Radio Stack" and ROM.
I could not figure out if the radio stack is provider specific. Did not know if i can just upgrade both with the AT&T ROM.
Here is my current plan. Please help me in making sure that i am not going to end up with a brick.
1. Unlock the devicewith XDA2Unlock
2. Upgrade the device to WM2003 with the Siemens AT&T executable from siemens web site.
3. Put my T-Mobile sim card and use it on t-mobile network.
Would this work ?. What is the best way to get best reception on this PDA with t-mobile ?.
thanks

1. Your device is XDA I ... so the right tool is XDAunlock here www.xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/ and it will work only if you still have the PPC 2002 ROM on yoru device, other wise you will have to flash your device with the special edition ROM SER1.2 from the forum here as well.
2. The excutable contains both RSU and ROM. If your phone works fine don't touch the RSU. Get a cooked WM2003 ROM from the kitchen here and flash your device ROM only.
3. Try and let's know
Good luck
I'm a bit of a newbie myself, however I've been playing with both a TMobile and an AT&T PPCPE for the last few weeks.
Why are you putting the AT&T ROM on the phone - surely it would be best to put on the TMobile version so that it would have all the internet settings, etc.
-=Nick=-
Thanks for the reply.
I read somewhere that if my radio version if A33, i will not be able to use the XDAUnlock utility. Is that true. If that is true will i be able to unlock using any other process ?
I will be getting PPCPE this week. I am excited to get it up and running with my existing T-mobile SIM.
thanks
When i got the Cingular 8125, and before I did the ROM Upgrade to 2.17.7.2 WWE, I did the recommended CID Superunlock. As far as I could tell everything went great. Unlocking this phone, to me at least, meant that I would be able to use it on other non-Cingular GSM networks. A little bit ago a friend who is on t-Mobile needed to use my phone to make a phone call. He put his sim card in my phone and gave it a shot. When the phone started i was getting an error message about a network being locked. I do not remember the exzct wording.
Any ideas if this implies that the unlocking procedure i did di not work succesfully? or am I missunderstanding what the unlock procedure is meant to do? Is there another unlock procedure to make this phone usable with other providers other then Cingular?
Thank you
The CID unlock allows the installation of firmware with a different "brand" than your hardware was sold as. It has nothing to do with the GSM SIM. Use the latest version of lokiwiz to SIM-unlock your phone. Do a search for lokiwiz and read up on it.
use Lokwiz to SIM Unlock it. CID unlock allows you to flash other Roms.

Yupe.... I did what 'Kyphur' mentioned to used my Tmobile card in my Cingular 8125. I bought Cingular because I like the 'Square' compare to the round design that vario have.
I have just bought a 8125 running 1.8.11.1 rom, 11/24/05. This phone is unlocked and I am using my old AT&T sim. If I upgrade to the new 2.25 rom will my phone still work with the AT&T blue sim.
Thanks so much!!!!
followup
Just checked and it is not cid unlocked. How can this be working with my blue sim?
Will the new cingular 2.25 update diasable my phone.
Thanks so much for your input!!!
Cid unlocking unlocks your phone for using custom kitchens. Sim unlocking unlocks your phone to use other providers sim cards. It is best to unlock both. Use lokiwiz. There is a sticky somewhere in the wizard section of xda that will tell you how to do it. Read everything carefully. Any modifications you do, you do at your own risk. Read the wiki, the stickies, etc before customizing. By reading it, you understand the how's and why's.
If my phone is simm unlocked now and I upgrade rom to 2.25 off HTC cingular sight will it still work with my AT&T blue simm?
Thanks!
As I said before...once cid/sim unlocked, always cid/sim unlocked...flashing different roms will not relock the device...BUT it needs to be both cid/sim unlocked if you are flashing from a kitchen. And yes, if it is sim unlocked, ANY sim will work in the device.

As long as you have a SIM it will work...it does not matter if you have blue, red or yellow...
CID unlock will help to install different OS...READ (I mean READ!!!) the wiki and stickies...
thanks so much for your replies. I did upgrade to the htc 2.25 rom and really dont see much difference and yes the sim still works.
Thanks again
