Can't wait to hear from an unlocktool, also i am looking for an intellipad changer.
:twisted:
Can't you just use the unlocker for the MDA II? Haven't tried yet, because i use T-mobile anyway, but using GPRS with Telfort (€ 1,50 per MB) would be nice.
ehh
ok you go try it for me LOL
:twisted:
Hi,
I tried to unlock it but it didn't work.
It just gets stuck during the "find lock code" or something like that.
On the other hand, i didn't kill my MDA Compact so you can try it for yourself.
JeDa

And that would be a solution to what?
Seriously, I really want to unlock my Dutch T-Mobile MDA.
I got rid of all the T-mobile colours and skins, I even got rid of the logo's on the case thanks to the sugar cube trick, I made my own splash boot screen and now I want to get rid of the sim lock.
How hard can it be. Apparently pretty damn tough.
Get rid of T-Mobile Stuff
I also want to get rid of the simlock.
But I also want to get rid of the colours and skins of T-Mobile, can you please help me, and tell me how to do this. And can I still use all the programms after doing this?
Another question: Does it really work with a sugar cube???
And what is a splash boot screen???
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Yes, sugarcubes work.
The Splash boot screen is the first scree you see when you reset the device.

So here is the procedure of getting rid of T-Mobile's customization:
The whole proccess means you will do a hard reset and you will be installing everything from the beggining! So if you don't want that to happen you have to stay with T-Mobile's customization!
Step 1
Hard reset your MDA Compact. Do all the neccesary steps (choosing your country and timezone) and when you get in the screen that tells you to tap the screen in order to start working have your stylus at the soft-reset hole tap the screen with your finger and IMMEDIATELY do a soft reset!
Step 2
Your MDA compact will restart without any customization it will be a clean Windows Mobile 2003SE. With the file manager go to the Extended ROM folder that is now visible and install the following files:
Caller_ID_WWE_RC10.CAB
Camera_Patch_WWE_B15.sa.CAB
GPRSMonitor_WWE.sa.CAB
Java_10.1.2.57_WWE.CAB
MMS_2.0.0.13_WWE.CAB
MMS_Settings_WWE_NL.CAB (This file will install the settings of T-Mobile NL but if you don't install it and then change the settings to your providers settings most probably will end up with MMS that does not work. So install those settings and change them accordingly to your providers settings)
Patch_101123.sa.CAB
Version_WWE_101124.sa.CAB
Zip_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_B12.CAB
Those are all the files you need to install. For those who need intellipad and intellidialer they will also have to install the 2 files for those programs.
How does a SIMLOCK work?
Where is the Simlock written to? ROM or Firmware (Bootloader?)?
Any Idea? Or ... is there a locking tool - maybe we can lock
the device to another mobile provider ...

As I was surfing the net. I came across this O2 image and was wondering whether it is possible to have the same by some utility or another..
that is the O2 Active UI.
Pretty unesufull if you are not a O2 subscriber.
Pretty sluggish if you do are an O2 subscriber.
Yeah, beleive me, you don't want it! As with most of the apps written by phone companies, it's badly written, a resource hog, and offers very little functionality. The first thing I do when I hard reset or rom upgrade is to uninstall it.
Eww Eww Eww Eww Eww
Trust me it's awful!! It's the first thing I get rid of whenever I've upgraded / hard-reset. It's very slow, very counter-intuitive, not to mention useless if you want to change your today wallpaper.
Cheers
Anthony
I liked it - when I saw it.
I installed it - it was sloooooow, so what did I do?
Tried to remove it, it wasnt being removed, so I hard reset
you DONT want it!

Thanks for the link. I've downloaded the file. The q now is, since it was designed for O2 members in the UK. Will it work for my in the UAE? I mean are all the connection strings and other stuff restricted to that region?
I have every theme going including O2 and Vodafone, but i can`t find an Orange one anywhere. Am i missing something or is it just not available?
I would prefer it in a *thm file too!

Oops think this subject is already in another post..
Right here we go
You can download the Google Panel files here in the "Google Panel.zip" file. This Zip contains the files needed for the google panel (including some renamed files to work with the VodafonePanel registry settings).
Download the file, extract it somewhere on your pc.
Make sure your phone isn't on the Vodafone Panel and connect your phone to the pc and open Program Files/Panels/VodafonePanel/
Delete all the files (don't worry, I've uploaded a copy of the original Vodafone Panel files too)
Now copy all the files from the Google Panel you extracted to the phone into the VodafonePanel folder
Disconnect your phone from the pc and press the panel key.
Enjoy the Google Panel
Thanks very much for this mate. I want to get the X1 on vodafone, since its too pricy for me to justify getting it sim free/unbranded. Seeing as you know more about the vodafone version of the phone than I do, would you mind answering these questions I have please?
1- Is it really sim free, as people are claiming it is (what I mean is, can you put another sim in it during the contract period and just use it as if it was a normal sim free phone- while still paying for your contract, of course- due to travelling, I may have to do this a couple of times)?
2- I have heard there is a problem regarding the internet connection on vodafone versions, where it will restrict you from using wifi to connect for some reason. Is this true? If so, is there a way round it? (I specifically plan to only use wifi over here)
3- Other than the google panel being replaced by the vodafone panel, are the rest of the panels the same as on the normal sim free models? (I heard one other one 'The design panel' is missing)
4- If I perform this change to replace the vodafone panel to the google panel, can the google panel then be changed for something else? (ie, will it be locked to the panel UI like the vodafone one was?
Thank you so much

1. It is sim free, I'm using mine with my Tmobile sim
2. I can't get it to use Wifi myself, but there are others on here who have.
3. I don't have the design panel on my vodafone branded X1, but it appears the rest of the panels are standard and unbranded.
4. The vodafone panel can be unlocked by changing the key HKLM/Software/SonyEricsson/PanelManager/Panels/Vodafone Panel/Locked to 0.
Hope this helps
'I can't get it to use Wifi myself, but there are others on here who have.' -At all!!!???
One more thing then: if the phone is vodafone branded, what happens as regards firmware updates?
Cheers
I can use wifi for opera etc, but email and messenger want to use the vodafone gprs or 3g.
It has Windows Update so I assume that is where any updates will come from
I've got a vodafone one with an O2 sim in it, so like Hutchy says, it's definitely sim unlocked.
I've connected to my exchange server via wifi fine, although I haven't tried it with any other accounts.
Realistically firmware (ROM) updates will be done manually by you after OliNex and co have created a HardSPL to allow us to flash without bricking our phones. If Vodafone are anything like O2, they will only release an updated ROM once a year, about 6 months after HTC have released it.

windows update is not used as far as i know - its quite redundant. ive never received an update on it for the years i have used these phones! If it plays out like it does with other HTC phones, which i assume it will, then the new firmware will come from Sony Ericsson for unbranded, but for the network operator phones, it will come from the networks, so Vodafone will get it, play with it and then release it, if they ever do!

Sweet thanks for this hutchy69
Anyone else have any issue with multiple words? When I search using two keywords, it only passes the first one to Google in Opera.
Does anyone have the google panel cab so I am able to install it???
Cheers
I tried using this to install over the O2 panel, but it now says 'No Screen Shot' on the panels screen which is less than ideal! Other than that it works fine... Any way to fix this?
Anyone? I can't be the only one who has this.
I tried copying the google panel file to the o2 one but it won't let me, how do you copy them across in the first place?
If any kind soul wants to do a walk through for 02 I too would be most grateful!

Just a normal file copy using the USB cable worked for me... Well, apart from the Panel image not showing up.
Is anyone else getting the 'No Screen Shot' image?
Funny, I thought the panels were supposed to be miniturised 'live' previews of the panel application not static images. I'm surprised there isn't even a way to refresh the image it displays.
Okay, I managed to fix the preview not showing up... I'll post it here in case anyone else gets the same problem;
To replace the O2 panel with the Google Panel, first follow the instructions in the first post. Then you need to edit the registry:
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager\Panels\O2 Panel
Edit the following keys:
Landscape to '\Program Files\Panels\O2 Panel\l_bh.bmp'
LargeLandscape to '\Program Files\Panels\O2 Panel\l_b.bmp'
LargePortrait to '\Program Files\Panels\O2 Panel\p_b.bmp'
Portrait to '\Program Files\Panels\O2 Panel\p_bh.bmp'
Hope it helps someone.
Is it possible to use the google panel and the vodafone panel?
I thried to copy the old VodafonaPanel Files in a new folder called TestPanel haha
But it doesnt work.
Somebody who' nows how to use both of them?
Best Regards Alcje
Sorry doubble post

You might want to poke around a little bit before you put any UK ROM on your AT&T Xperia.
Somebody started a thread just recently saying that it interfered with GPS, for one thing.
And in any event, I think I'd put the generic UK ROM on, not the Vodafone one, if you finally decide that it's the right thing to do.
Why, exactly, are you trying to do this?
Please
Please, in the name of all that is holy, DONT put the Vodafone ROM on a phone that doesn't ABSOLUTELY have to have it. It's the biggest pile of CRAPWARE that exists. I swear, Vodafone enjoy receiving their phones back for repair because they mess up the firmwares that bad.
Every Vodafonebranded phone i have been unfortunate enough to have has been debranded the second I got it.
Just a couple of things they messed up in the X1.
Bottom right hotkey ALWAYS goes to Vodafone LIVE
Any addresses (such as LIVE mail (hotmail) will not work through WIFI because Voda forced the firmware to redirect all "live" requests through Voda WAP/3G/GPRS
MSN Messenger will not work by WIFI, it is forced to connect to Vodafone WAP
Various PANELS have been replaced with Vodafone crapware.
Bottom right softkey in Radio is not working because Voda LIVE key overtakes it.

Actually it goes to your HOMEPAGE, which can be changed in Opera. You can also rename the screen text to Web in the registery.

Pretty sure the right softkey on all the ROMs do whatever the right softkey on the Today panel (which is different to what the manual says).
Although the forcing the MS Live services over the WAP apn only is a bit stupid.
