UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -Reward to help me unlock it- :)

HELP!!! :shock:
I've tried everything to unlock this unit I got on eBay and I'm not having any luck after 2 days of hacking.
What I've tried:
- Tried XDAunlock got a message "error getting unlock code"
- Installed the "Special Edition ROM v1.2" several times cause it just didn't work the first time. Front screen says it removes SIMlock, but NOT on my unit. Loads the auto config for USA -Tmobile, and reboots but returns the stinkin message "'SIM Lock' Please input unlock code SID:" -
-Tried XDAunlock again and still same message.
- Tried XDA2unlock, nothing
Here are the specs if someone can help:
ROM Version: 3.17.03 ENG
ROM datae: 05/15/03
Radio version: 6.25.02
Protocol version: 324e4
The unit is in Brand New condition so I hate to toss it away.
Thanks,

When you first boot the special edition rom do you have the sim inserted? If yes, try it without sim, if no, try it with sim.

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -
Booting up with and without a foriegn SIM yields the same SIM Lock message. Still searching for suggestions. (after two days of searching for a fix my eyes look like this :shock: )
Still comes up "Please input unlock code SID:" I know its not the SIM chip as the SIM chip works without problems on another PPC.
My gut tells me its the phone part which is locked. If I can somehow replace this part of the ROM, I can get it to work, but I do not know how to cook a new phone rom and from what I've educated myself with on this site its states to keep away from the RSU? The PDA functions fine as a standalone unit but defeates the purpose of why I purchased an integrated system for my wife. Guess she will have to carry a seperate phone for a while this we figure this out. :x

Well I may have come onto something. I am going to try these steps tomorrow and let you all know. After 3 days of searching thru all the forums here, I came across this link on how to unlock this AT&T PPC. Wish me luck. :lol: Looks like I will owe LumpiStefan a reward if this works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13477
BTW, this web site was down for the longest period, anyone know what happened? Anyways, thanks for getting it back up.

Have you tried entering 0000 as the sid code??

UnLock ATT Siemens SX56 -
Yes, I tried 4 and 6 zeros. Nada.
Be it officially noted that I am giving up on trying to unlock this PDA and are putting a curse on ATT and will NEVER ever buy another product tied to that Communist Company. No wonder they don't exist anymore. Anyways, I'm reporting that all the good instructions in this forum to unlock this device have offically failed and the only thing left to try is the serial cable method. After 3 days of hacking, I'm giving up. I've ordered a serial cable and will await its arrival. If that works, I will let you all know. Otherwise its going up for auction with .01 starting bid. :roll:, better yet, maybe I'll donate it to the sys op. :lol:

Well, I finally unlocked this pos after many many countless hours of trying different things. How I finally did it was to take a much deserved rest and then start from the beginning all over again. I started here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/UnlockWiz
Answer the wizard questions, and I was on my way to downloading and unlocking. After it was finished I had to change the bandwidth to 1900.
In summary:
Download and install the SpecialEditionROM
Answer the unlock question.
Change the GSM bandwidth network band.
I was in business.
This is a great forum! I will contribute by making donation and THANK YOU!! Merry Christmas to one and all. :lol:

This is not really going to help you, but if you have it, can you send me the AT&T theme from the SX56 ?? (PM me please )

I can help you to unlock it for sure!

Orange M600 Unlocking and extended rom

Has anyone managed to unlock there m600 and if you have how did you manage it. I have tried all the things suggested on the forum and still no luck with the sim unlocking.
On a different topic, i managed to unhide the extended rom only to find that there was nothing in it. Does anyone know where the install files are stored. Looking at the reg implies that there may be a partion that is hidden with them on.
Any ideas

Right, let me get this straight...
"Lockiwiz can only unlock your Prophet device if your Rom version is 1.XX.XXX. For the new AKU2 ROMS (i.e Orange M600 ROM) there is no solution yet."
If this is the case, then can we use A-Wizard or the hacked romupdateutility to FLASH back to a pre-AKU2 ROM and then use Lokiwiz to unlock the device, and then flash back to a 'latest AKU2 ROM' (Dopod one is latest and greatest atm) and continue to have a SIM UNLOCKED device???
Please can someone try this? I get my M600 in a week and need to be able to unlock it. Am in the USA atm and need to use a T-Mobile SIM in it.
Appreciate any help.

Data crashes help, Please!! MDA Vario

Morning all,
I need help please gents, last night I attempted to sim unlock my MDA Vario (tmob), I used lokiwiz ver 2, but now it is simlocked completely, it also reads on start up "data crashes, contact service provider". Was working flawlessly on Tmobile before this.
I'm sure its a gen 3 as the ipl/spl is 1.06, I have tried using the new version of lokiwiz to fix it but it will not go away (unless I take sim out of course! )
In my desperation to get it fixed last night I even paid £20 to imei-check.co.uk, but they need to verify that I am who i say I am?! By sending a scan of a bill? At this point I have not received any contact from them.
Can someone please help me get this to accept sims again, any help will be much appreciated .
Thanks in advance guys.
Andy

Try once more to downgrade your phone to the 1.05_CUSTOM_ROM, then use lokiwiz02b and perform the SIM unlock again STEP-BY-STEP without having your SIM card in there! See if that works!

Thanks Junner, will try when I get home from work.
Should I have taken out sim before attempting unlock intially?
Thanks
Andy

No, it normally does not effect the unlocking process!
What I do wonder is the following: Do you use a different SIM than the phone's ROM was made for? It is highly unusual that the SIM lock will effect the card it was originally locked to!

here is the problem similar to yours
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258739&page=3
i got it solved by paying 38$ using
http://www.imei-check.co.uk

Thanks all for all your help,
I tried again but it does not work, I guess I will have to wait for imei-check to get back to me, unless anyone else has any other suggestions?
Thanks again all
Andy

ATT 8525 with a T-Mobile SIM

Hello All,
I recently got an ATT 8525 and I'm trying to use it with my T-Mobile (US) SIM. I was able to successfully unlock the SIM and CID with an util/rom I found on this site (I think the post was from Pof). And I also re-flashed the phone with the latest ROM available.
But after about 5-10mins of usage the signal dies and when I reboot it says No GSM. Looks like the Radio ROM gets corrupted. I tried just re-flashing the Radio ROM and that doesn't help either. It works for short while and again the signal dies.
And also, I'm unable to install any of the generic ROMs (Fantastic Mobiz, PVET 40005) Although I'm connected to Active Sync when I run the Step 1 (ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe), I get a ERROR [222] : DEVICE NOT RESPONDING. And when I run the step 2 directly (update_rom.bat) I get an cannot update itsutils.dll maybe in use error.
As you can tell I've been messing with phone a lot for a couple of days with no luck and my frustration level is kinda high
As of now here’s where I stand. I re-flashed the phone (Image: 3.62, Radio 1.50) and it’s on the “Tap the screen to set up your windows based mobile device” screen. I plan on leaving it on this screen until I can a good solution.
I would like to get rid of the ATT ROM and install one of those hybrid generic ROM that is not Carrier specific. Any help will be much appreciated. Share your ideas, I’m very experimental 
Phone Details…
ATT 8525
HERM100
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 1.40.0 lipro

O2 XDA EXEC wont except Vodafone after unlock?

Hello all, I got a O2 XDA EXEC in post today which I bought off Ebay for £30 which only ended up having a scratched screen! I have installed radio ROM 0.00.00 and then used Buzz's unlocker twice which said it unlocked but doesent take my Vodafone sim which is all I have at the moment. I then installed radio ROM 1.18 hopeing it will work but it dident!
So I decided to install Tomal's - v8.2: WM6.1 Pro havent had a good look at it yet but looks good!.
If anyone can tell me a way of getting this Vodafone sim to work that would be great!

Hi,
you have to remove the sim and switch the airplane mode OFF BEFORE the entire procedure. Remember to soft reset the device after running the Buzz unlock tool, so, these are the steps, flash the radio 0.00.0, soft reset, run the tool and wait the succesful message, soft reset and wait that it switch-on, NOW remove the battery, insert your sim and switch on again. In this way it must work, I've unlocked 3 universal with that tool.

Hello davideuck, That was the way I tried it but tried it 3 times again with no joy, The radio searches for a few seconds then comes up with no service. I am starting to wonder if this uni is going to receive any signal from any sim?? Like my M5000 before but that had no GSM which this one does have GSM.

Ok I have managed to get a new O2 sim card which I have put in the uni which does the same as the Vodafone sim... Nothing just has no service but does search for a signal every so often.
I have installed RADIO ROM 1.18 instead of the 0.00.00 and still does not receive a signal.
Im stuck now Is there any reason why this does this or is it never going to get a signal?

I have just phoned O2 to find out if my uni's blocked? not that they done any test but because I have tried 2 sims which work in other phones but not this one they say the problem is with the phone.
So looks like I have 2 useless uni's? Would I be able to repair the EXEC with parts from my M5000? ( M5000 had no GSM ) I have no idea what I would need to do but will try anything to get this working!

Would the O2 XDA EXEC original ROM sort this problem? This was already installed when I had it but dident work with Vodafone sim after unlocking.

I have installed the original O2 ROM which made no difference so went back to WM6.1.
I think there is something wrong internally?
