Help !!! Problems unlocking SX56

O.K. I am new to this and have read many threads, and I still need help!!! I have a Wallaby ROM version A.30.09, Radio Version A.33.02. I bought this off of E-Bay and it is supposed to be Unlocked. Of course the original SIM card was from AT&T. I am trying to use my Rogers AT&T card and I keep on getting the message "Please input unlock code SID:"
I first used the XDAunlock program on my first Rogers Sim card and after many attempts using it, I was able to get the SIM card to work and I could make calls and receive them. The second day that it was working, I had to do a soft reset and then it asked for the unlock code again. Anyway I supposedly cooked that SIM card and Rogers supplied me with another. Now I cannot use the phone again.
I have downloaded the XDA special edition ROM, but I cannot get this program to work, it will run and when my Wallaby is Sync'd using the cradle, the program keeps telling me that the power is not supplied to it.
I recently bought a serial cable for this thing and I have run the XDA manipulator program and it says that it does not have a SID lock.
I have tried to find just the Special Edition ROM to add onto my SD card, but I cannot find just that program.
Any advice would be grateful !!!

If the phone was unlocked to rogers when you used it previously then it will still be unlocked. Is it definitely now asking for sid code and not the sim security code for your rogers sim?

It is definitely asking for a SID unlock code. Everytime I try to turn flightmode off it asks me for the code.

did you make sure that ur xda is fully charged 100%? that might be why it says its low on power

Power seems to be another one of my problems...I check the status of the battery while it is plugged into the cradle and it says:
Battery power remaining: Unknown
When I take it off the cradle and do a soft reset, then it tells me that the power is 100%.
The battery light never comes on though. And if it does then the phone works. I wonder if this is a battery problem !!!

Found that my battery was not the problem, it was the charger going from the wall to the cradle. It was charging the battery, but not enough. the one that was supplied for my Siemens SX56 docking station was a Nokia charger only putting out 3.5v. I found another charger I had laying around that put out 4.5v. As soon as I hooked it up, my battery light instantly came on. So I ran the XDA special edition software, and it worked great. I can now use my phone.
AWESOME PROGRAM !!!!!
I LOVE IT!!!

Some very basic questions about m5000, roms, apps, software

Firstly, i have just received my m5000 that i bought from ebay.
i am a novice and i do have loads of questions. i do hope, although some of the questions are likely to be stupid, that i will not insult you.
roms
as far as i understand, this is the combitation of design and software that can be installed on my device - am i correct?
Also, from reading the forum, the most popular rom is o2 exec - is it worth overwriting my orange rom? if you had m5000 - would you do it?
does this o2 exec rom have tomtom navigation? or how can i add it?
Device itself
How to switch the thing off??? this question puzzled me for the whole day - how do i completly switch off this thing to change the simcard for example??
games
Are there any good games i can download? ) What will you recommend, as it got boring at work lately
simlock
my device is locked to orange, but i use Three. Is it worth getting this unlocked at orange (i will have to contact the seller, pay 20 pounds, etc...) or would you in my place just get the orange sim for now? I know there is no exact answer to my question, but what will you do?
sorry again for some basics, i hope i did not annoy you too much!

Switching off
Hi,
You can switch your M5000 by entering the program called "Wireless Manager". In there, click on "All Off". You will notice that you mobile network, bluetooth and Wifi will stop. Then you can just power off your M5000 and wait for 10 seconds before you can remove your battery.
That's how I will switch off my O2 Exec.
Good luck!
Regards,
Johnnie

And why? I just take the battery out if I wanna take the SIM out :lol:
IGS, please respect time of people here and spend some time researching first. Read the posts from last few days, use search function, use google. All the answers are there. And only if you can't find it then ask questions like this.
To get the navigation software and hardware - you have to buy it
If you wanna use your 3 simcard, unlock the device, if not, what's the point?
ROM is like Windows on your PC, an operation system without which your M5000 won't work.
Games: there is a very good topic called GAMES FOR EXEC

Everything looks like it should be right, but it isn't -GPRS

Hi all,
I've spent the last 3 weeks searching through everything so as not to waste anyones time with a simple question but to no avail.
I've been given an XDA II from a family member as they have upgraded to the Exec and I have been using it as a PDA only. Well I see that Orange have some good deals on the go and so decide to use it as a phone/Internet enabled PDA.
I've unlocked it (many times now) got 2003SE on it and have put the correct MMS and GPRS settings in (The ones from Shadamehr). I've checked with Orange and GPRS is enabled on my account with them (PAYG at the mo) but for some reason the same thing that was happening when I first got it pops up
"Cannot connect
There is no modem at the above number..."
So best my small mind can figure is that somehow the 'phone part' of the PDA isn't working. I've tried other sims in it and they don't work either (o2 and Three - but I think Three is funny anyways). Is there something wrong with the actual phone bit?
It's a legit XDA with the M1000 ROM upgrade from the orange site which has made it 2003SE
Does anyone have any knowledge about how I can get my PDA to be a phone? It was once before (but with O2)
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

No modem at above number
Thanks for the link, but believe me I've tried this. I retried it to be sure just now.
"No modem at above number" is what I get after the XDA II tries to connect.
I have no phone reception whatsoever, no internet and no SMS.
My XDA II just works as a PDA with no communication possiblities apart from USB cradle.
Again, thanks in advance for any and all help with this.

If there's no phone reception, and no GPRS, how do you expect to connect to one?
Not to be mean or anything, but aren't your hopes of connecting a little farfetched if all the systems you're trying to use are down?

Click to collapse
Your not being mean, believe me after a month of searching through here and SPV developers anything that wuld resolve this issue would be appreciated.
Why would the phone element of my XDA just stop working? I can only imagine some sort of Hardware fault but I'm a thorough bunny and would like to make sure of this. A diagnostic app or some way of reading the phone element like a device driver would be handy.
So in brief, why has my phone part of my XDA II stopped working and how do I switch it back on again (if this is at all possible)?
Thank you for your replies thusfar Cynagen, I shall start to ask these questions in the Himalaya forum also now since it seems model specific and not network related.
Any and all further assistance is much appreciated.

SPV m1500!

Hello all...This may be my first post but i have beed watching the forum for quite a long time!You are doing a great work around here!
I need a big favor from anyone that can help!Does anyone have the original SPV m1500 rom provided by orange and can upload it somewhere for me to download?Or can anyone back up his ROM from a m1500 and upload it somewhere?
And i have question as well and i would be grateful if you could answer this one!
If you haven't CID unlocked your phone and somehow managed to upgrade the ROM with a different make's one (i have one from Qtek 2020i at the moment) will it be blocked by the network or is a matter that the person that i bought it from (over ebay) reported it as lost/stolen?Currently everything works fine apart from the phone bit!It says no service and can't detect any network!(it just says ''unable to read setting from the network.Try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again'').
Any help would be greatly appreciated
