Hi, let me start off byapologising if this issue has been dealt with before but I am fairly new to the board and I am also a complete novice when it comes to these types of phones.
My problem is this. I have a T_Mobile USA PPC Wallaby, I live in England and I would like to unlock it so that I can use an O2 chip in it. I need an SID code to use the O2 chip which T-Mobile USA will not give to me because I do not have an account with them. I tried XDAunlock but it kept saying "Error getting unlock code". I tried to install "XDA-developers-SER-v12" but I kept getting the error message "ERROR: GetDeviceData - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
error getting devicedata" and then "Cannot execute the remote communication program.
Please make sure the USB/Serial cable is properly connected". I also tried using "xdadev_all_unlock-v1.3" with no luck. In fact, all I have been able to do is downgrade the Radio Stack (whatever that does?)
My device is.....
ROM Version : 4.01.16
Radio Version : 4.21.00
Protocol Version : 32S54
Hardware Version : PW10B
I am using Activesync 3.8 with Xp Home installed on my desktop. If anyone has any insight into this please could you help me with it?
Many thanks.
As already told via PM:
You have to install the special Edition ROM via SD-Card since you´re actuell ROM-Version prohibits flashing via EXE-File....
Extract the Specialedition ROM EXE file with winzip. You get an directory English where the ROM (NK.nbf) is located.
Download XDATools ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wallaby/Tools/XDATools.zip
Extract them at any place and run osimagetool
Select the NK.nbf File in the Source drop down menu.
Select your SD card (disk drive) from Destination the drop down menu.
Select Copy to start writing process and the tool should start writing to the card.
When XDATools has finished writing the image (no Infomessage) put the SD-card into your device
If there comes a message to format the SD-card select No
Hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a " Hard Reset"

Success!!!
Wow! Thanks Stefan, that actually worked and I now have the Special Edition Rom installed on my device! The only problem I have now is that I have no signal Do I need to upgrade my Radio Stack?
No, normally not.
You could try changing Bands in bootloader, but normaly it shoud work....
Code:
Changing radio bands on Wallaby using the Bootloader
This page describes how to change radio bands on a Wallaby phone using the bootloader. If you change to a band that is not supported by your phone, your radio will receive less signal than with the bands it was tuned for. I.e. if you have a 900/1800 phone (Model number on sticker printed on back says "PW10A" instead of "PW10B") then if you change to 1900 MHz your phone will not be tuned right. If your sticker on the back says PW10B, then using the 1800 band is likely to degrade signal quality.
Changing bands
1. Press and hold the power button on top of the device
2. Go to the bootloader by gently pressing and releasing the stylus in the largest of the two holes on the bottom of the device
3. Release the power button
4. Wait for the screen to say "GSM OK"
5. Press the 'calendar' button on the right above the screen
6. Select the GSM band of your choice from the menu using the rocker switch under the display
7. Press the center of the rocker switch to confirm
8. Perform a soft-reset by pressing and releasing the stylus in the large hole again, this time without holding the power switch
Is your device really unlocked?
Can you search manually for networks? Do you find any one?
Have you the possibility to try another SIM-card?
Stefan
Boo Hoo Hoo!
The good news is that I now know how to install new Roms using the method you provided, yay! But now I cant get any signal at all and it does not seem to be able to find any networks, boo.

?????????
Since messing with the Radio Stack I have been unavle to get asignal or even pick up any networks? And I dont seem to be able to upgrade it to what it was? The only Stacks I can get to work are the exe type from the ftp server here, the zip files ones dont seem to work for some reason, and I need 6.25 which is only available as a zip. Does anyone have 6.25 as an exe type?
Thank God!
Well, I must be a complete dunce. I managed to upgrade the Radio Stack back to 6.25.02 and thanks to the help from LumpiStefan (and the fact that he was very patient with my complete noviceness) I am able to use my O2 chip and my PPC is now a phone as well!
Same problem but cant get into bootloader!
any Ideas ?

Hmmm, I don't know how to fix that? I tell you what though, there is a user here called 'LumpiStefan' and he basically walked me through it. He knows his stuff, maybe if you asked him he would help?

Hello,
This is my first post on this forum.
Im new to the Pocket Pc's. I got this T-Mobile MDA II from my friend 2 days ago and that was the first time in my life when I touched the PPC.
I have a big problem.
MDA II is not reading the SMS (''the phone is not ready, try again in 15min'').
And another problem is GPRS. MDA says ''connecting'' or something like that, and nothing happens.
The PPC is from Germany, and I live in Croatia. And the language is in English-Germany.. Something is on English, something on Germany.
Can someone explain what's the problem ?
And another question
I download the WM6.1 AKU1.0(build 19199).
I can't get to the Bootscreen mod, I click the middle navigation button, then power button and nothing happens.
And where is the reset button ?
Sorry for my stupid questions and bad english.
But I need some help.. Please!
Please!
I need someone to explain how to install ROM on MDA II.
the reset button is on the left of the charging block ( tiny hole )
follow these instructions
Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading ROM Image, please wait....',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
Detach your device from the cradle.
Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
===========================================================================================
PS: Upgrade on your own risk
omg this is amazing...
ather90 thank you very much!
6.1.1a16CS (WM6.1 AKU 1.0) ROM is great.
I can now use my camera, use gprs, use internet..
Wonderfull
good that you finally succeeded. now try 6.1.1b16CS (WM6.1 AKU 1.0)
usb craddle or usb sync cable ?
Since this seemed a newbie type post i thought i would continue with a Newbie type question.
I also just purchased an Qtek 2020 and wondered if i need the usb craddle or would a usb sync cable do for rom upgrade.
Rom Ver : 1.72.00WWE
Rom Date 03/15/04
Radio Ver : 1.17.00
Protocol version 1337.28
ExtROM Ver : 1.72.181

This is also my 1st post here. But I'd been monitoring the xda-developer forums for a long time. I spend more time reviewing posts rather than posting in forums. Anyways I think I can help. Here's the answer to your question: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaBootloaderSdCardFlashing. You can also use the search function provided by this website to search for topics that you need.
Thanks for the link which lead me to bootloader info below
"you can connect to the bootloader, either via a serial cable, and use a terminal program like hyperterm. or via usb, and use mtty. make sure you have disabled the serial or usb connection in activesync, before trying to connect to the bootloader."
So i am guessing its both USB CABLE or USB CRADLE got i just purchase one on Amazon for 90 pence

Hi to all. I'm a new person in this fantastic forum. Before yesterday i'm just visiting and reading, but now i need your help
So, I have a Wizard with T-mobile logo on it. Display has been changed, 'cause the original was broken. New display has been buyed from *-bay. Both displays are the same. When put the new display in the Wizard, everything looks fine, except the 8-bit color on the skreen ;( . Last night i read and make step by step things in this Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613 , but i need to stop on step G3.4 - i have a success update from step G3.3 with CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE, but when i start the Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2, there is an error - 206 (on italian).
After that, i have read the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 thread, and started again... First update has been successfull (maybe), the Wizard started with Winmobile 5 (WM6 has been installed before starting updates).
That's the specs:
ipl: 1.01
spl: 1.01
rom date 2/02/07
radio: 01.12.10
rom version: 6.0.0.0 wwe
protokol version: 4.0.13.23
extRom version: Empty Extended (before updating)
Now, after 1st update are:
ipl: 1.01
spl: 1.01
ROM:1.5.4.2 WWE
ROM date: 11/8/05
Radio: 01.12.10
Protocol version: 4.0.12.23
------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now... i haven't idea what to do to update IPL and SPL to version 2.xx
and to install WM6 (XDA Mobile 6 Release 3).
Else, I think that the screen has only 8bit color is not a software problem. I think it's from hardware (display).
Else, i have install ActiveSync, but the program did not find any Wizard attached to the computer..
For first update, i connect and started wizard in bootable mode (3 color display, with 'usb' icon down left...
After restart, when starts normally, AS 4.5 didn't find it...
Can somebody explain me in a few simple steps what to do...
Please..
I'm new in this sphere. Sorry for my bad english.
Have a nice weekend to all.

You have downgraded your phone to IPL/SPL 1.xx by flashing Button's Rom 1.05.there's no need to flash wizard_love_Rom,instead download and apply lokiwiz02b tool to SIM/CID unlock the phone and then download T-mobile 2.26 and flash to upgrade to IPL/SPL 2.xx for upgrading to wm6.The above guide was written quite a while ago,its better you follow the most updated guide as in the link below:-

Is your phone working normal,does it load up to OS ? to check the connectivity,get the phone into bootloaders(tricolor screen) connect via usb cable and check if usb appears at the bottom of the bootloaders,if not then there's a connectivity problem,either with usb cable or the mini usb port of the phone.
if the phone works normal and loads OS,then you can even try to use lokiwiz02b or WST tool via BT and CID unlock the phone.
It's normal working, like I said in my 1st post - 8bit color. I think it's from OS, but i'm not sure - i have downgrade form WM6 to WM5, and the problem is still here .
In bootload mode have indication for USB - bottom left on the screen, the battery has charging, but ActiveSync still don't want to find my Wizard..
P.S. Pfffff, I decline to fight with that.... Monday i'll test with other USB cable. Even it charging battery, i think ActiveSync can't recognize the Wizard, because USB cable is failed somewhere,...
I don't know what i think.. I'm tired.... Good night..
If its working normal and it establishes connectivity through usb as it appears in the bootloaders,then,its the AS software,which is not detecting.Assuming you are using winXP,Delete all partnerships/profiles in the settings of the AS or Uninstall As and download the latest version 4.5 and install it,close any Antivirus/Firewall or any other software which might be hindering with AS and let it again activesync.Also remember to uncheck 'Enable advanced network functionality' in the settings...> connections...> usb to pc options in your phone.
Hello again. I try to install 3 versions of AS, but the result is the same - No Connection. reset the wizard 3 times, stop all running software - ICQ, Skype, antivirus, browser... no and no.
When AS looking for device, there is 7 8 COM ports, Infrared (no installed), USB available, but AS can't find my bluetooth...
I have install bluetooth, and make connection with the wizard, but i can't unlock with lokiwiz02b-HTC Unlocker.
Better try on other winXP based pc
I think so, tommorow at work zabardast_1 thanks a lot man.
Hello everybody,
Does anyone can tell how to fix the error message "Unidentified USB device - Please enter the name of your device" etc.. + field to fill and Enter or Cancel buttons? Once it appears, most of functions of the device go frozen and all I can do is to soft - reset it which is very inconvenient of course.
To be precise the message is displayed at random, but more often when I type SMS (not necessarily the case however).
I know that only YOU guys may help me to find an issue. So I do trust in you all.
My Uni config, if it helps :
WM 5.0 with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack
OS 5.1.465
ROM version 2.00.41 WWE
Radio version 1.17.00
ExtROM : 2.00.147 WWE
Thanks in advance ;-)
A fan of yours,

Hi guys,
I'm probably being really daft and missing something really obvious but I've been going round in circles for about a week on this now without any success and starting to tear my hair out. Proficient enough at flashing ROMs [the joys of HD2 ] and been working in IT support and consultancy for 20 years so the PC side is OK too - have tried searching through the various threads on here along with Googling but can't seem to find anything conclusive regarding my situation and hope someone could point me in the right direction.
Orange M5000 - rebranded HTC Universal, obviously
Pressing Power + Lamp + Reset does not appear to take me into the bootloader - I don't get a screen saying 'SERIAL'
I get a screen offering the following options:
Boot Options:
Enable KITL
Clean Registry Hive
Format Storage
with the following at the bottom of the screen:
R 1.03.00
G 42.36.P8
D 1.30.90 WWE
Using the small curser keys and button below the screen I can select any of the above options and select YES or NO
Pressing the button changes to another screen with a white background and the following options:
Select KITL Transport:
USB KITL
SERIAL KITL
Ethernet KITL
Select KITL Mode:
Active
Passive
And I can get no further...
I realise that we're probably missing something really obvious and/or basic out but for the life of me I can't find the answer! Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
Cheers,
David

Thanks for the prompt response! Had guessed that problem would be something basic we were missing
Now we've come across another!
We can get into the bootloader fine with it showing SERIAL and when we connect the cable it changes automatically to USB. But...
Trying to run MaUpgradeUt_noID always gives an Error 150 ROM Upgrade Error - tried running as Administrator - no change
Its interesting that the picture in the utility is not of a Universal - dunno if this is relevant?
If we try to use the ROMUpgradeUT that is in the ROM directly, we get an Error 101 Connection Error
Picture in this instance is of a Universal however - again, dunno how relevant this is?
We'll get there

64-bit Windows 8 Pro
Works fine for flashing my HD2 via the usual methods.
Guessing there's either something we're missing in terms of running some compatibility settings [although we've tried] or that it may be a driver issue. Drivers noted in the thread about flashing Uni from Vista won't install however...
