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,
Where do I found 3.17.03 ROM. I have tried in your site(Romkitchen) but I couldn't able to download.
http://lumpistefan.dynsdns.org
After selecting the ROM and some additional softwares, I clicked the 'Build Rom Now' Button but nothing comes.
Can you help me with this?
thanks

Cooking process works well for me.
Maybe you have to wait a few minutes more.
Cooking process can be up until 5 minutes.....
Otherwise try again the Build Rom now button....

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.
Hello,

Is there any other site to download 3.17.03 Rom for XDA-I.

You can try http://xda.weblink.net or use http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe to download the xda developers ROM based on 3.17.03 including the unlock tool....
I think you're the first guy that has problem to download a rom from the kitchen.
What for browser are you using? Have you ever tried another ROM?

Stefan
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
it seems that you don't followed the correct procedure.
This link it's a wizard and could help you: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/UnlockWiz
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?
Thanks

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.
Hi ALL,
I did unlock (SIM LOCK) my phon.
Thanks you all for help & support.
I would like to flash my mda vario with the qtek rom, to solve the issue with the device resetting itself due to having a sd card installed, and to generally speed things up etc. I have visited the wizard ftp site on here, and navigated to the qtek folder, but there are about a million files listed. I am currently a UK user running an mda vario with t-mobile. Which file should I use? Once I have the correct file how do I then install it to my device? After the update will I be able to restore my previous files and settings with my SPB backup file?
Thanks!
bump
as a newbie myself maybe i can lend you a hand.
first of all...in order for you to flash your mda to other rom, you need to sim and cid unlock ur phone. then you download the latest ROM with WWE to your desktop.
connect your wizard to your pc via activesync 4.1, make sure your device is fully charge at all time. after you have sim/cid unlock ur phone, soft reset your device. then run the ROM exe file and follow on screen instruction.
before you start unlock and flasing ur phone, please use the search function and try to look for step by step instruction. thats wht i have done for a few days and manage to flash my mda vario with the latest qtek rom and a custom radio rom. cant say how happy i am with the phone now.
This is the latest qtek wwe rom ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wi...digy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
with spb backup no you will not be able to do a full restore because it will overwrite the registry etc..
Do a custom backup and tick all boxes except system data
Hi,
I have 2 problems:
1. I flashed my mda3 from WM2003 to wm6. Unfortunately I forgot to activate my ExtROM. Is it possible to acitvate it now?
2. I flashed my mda3 with HELMI_BA_WM6_R0_.exe (CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2). Now I want to upgrade to WM6 Pro CE OS 5.2.1933 (Build 18533.0.7.0) Updated [30.11.2007] but it doesn't work. Have anyone an idea?

1. Activate ExtROM? Have you ever read the wiki?
You can resize your storage, but extrom is gone - there's no need to have one in WM6.
If you are attached to your ExtROM, create ExtROM folder in your SD card.
2. Yes, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE to upgrade to this version because of your "doesnt work" error message
after i try so many time, finally i can use WM2003 for my siemens SX56
i use WM2003final, bcause WM2003SE always stuck (look my attacment), can anyone unlock that? and my signal a little poor,any suggestion?...
Now mine is :
Microsoft Pocket PC
Version 4.20.0 (Build 13252)
1996-2003 Microsoft Corporation
ROM version : 4.01.12 ENG
ROM date : 12/22/03
Radio versin : 6.24.00
Protocol version : 324e4
*but when i restart my pda always show "error : this program only works with Windows Mobile 2003 (4.20.1081)".
i cook at http://www.romkitchen.de/ , i choose : WM2003 ROMs : 4.01.12_ENG.exe
I think you have choosed the "Fix 'multiple resets make device slow' bug " Option for cooking the ROM....
Just remove the wm03hotfix.exe file that is located in the Windows\startup directory....
Then this error shouldn´t appear any more until you make a hard reset of your device, that will restore the ROM including this file....
Stefan
not appear again
thanks for the advice...
only can delete wm03hotfix.exe, at
\Windows - \StartUp
Cannot delete wm03hotfix.exe at
\Windows ... (attch)
also when i wan to delete directly from my device, still cannot??
but thanks anyway,he3..now "error : this program only works with Windows Mobile 2003 (4.20.1081)" not appear again
thank you Mr.LumpiStefan
Hi, to everybody:
I have got a HTC P3300 device (Artemis) purchased in Spain in 2006, unlocked, so I've got no problems on that.
It's was updated by me to WM6 Professional (OS CE 5.2.1620, Build 18125.0.4.2) using official ROM for free devices.
ROM Ver.
ROM Ver: 3.13.412.1 ESN
Date: 8/28/2007
Radio ver: 02.94.90
Protocol ver: 4.1.13.44
ExtROM ver: 3.13.412.102
Now I would like to upgrade it to a cooked ROM like Shady's new ones with WM6.5 or another one with TouchFlo but I can't, altough I've tried almost everything. I'm not a newbie and I work like developer so I understand the most I read but now I'm completely lost; let me explain to you.
My laptop has Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) installed and I know that this OS(and Vista) have problems so I also tried on XP Professional SP2 without success.
I tried to upgrade the device using the exe directly and trough USPL (from this site and others) but nothing works. I always get the same 2 errors; normally when I use USPL I have error 260 (connection) because the device doesn't go to bootloader screen and if I restart the device into bootloader manually, if the update process starts (not always), it reaches less than 5 or 10% returning a 270 error with message "File corrupt".
I read a lots of in this forum and similar ones checking steps one by one, even trying to update/install USB drivers for Vista but nothing works. When I use USPL, screen goes to black and "unkonwn device" plugged in to USB port is detected on the system so I think the problem is the program can't put the device in correct state, but if I activate bootloader by my self "Sync Device" appears in devices manager but I cannot go futher as I said before.
Do I must make a downgraded to original WM5 and start from it (maybe a problem with loader version)or there's anything that I forgot?. If someone knows a link or think that I missed some step, please help me.
Any kind of help would be appreciated so much. Thank you in advanced
Solved!
OK, here I am!.
Finnally I solved the problem. The issue was that I had have to "do a hard reset before" try to update the ROM. I read somewhere that an application locked the device avoiding the ROM upgrade. I just went to settings > system > emtpty memory and since then I was able to upgrade like the posts said .
Best regards

Can you post a link for the WM 6.5 version, i found two files, but couldn't install
in the rom section u can find a few wm 6.5 versions.
unlock your phone with USPL and then follow the installation instructions of the roms posted
shady313 and babbelut roms are the most current ones based on 6.5
neither of them have touchflo support though but babbelut rom has spb shell, a different kind of touch cube system
