I just signed up today. I have searched the forums but either I have not found the right information or I may not understand the information I have found.
The Situation
I have acquired a T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition
The Model is PW10B1
Rom Version 3.14.40 ENG
Rom Date 11/26/02
Radio version 6.18
Protocol Version: 324e4
I would like to unlock the phone and use it with Cingular service I already have.
The phone currently has a sim card in it that is active. The person who gave me the phone left it in and has not yet deactivated the service.
How can I unlock the phone using the programs on the site.
I have read several posts but I know little to nothing about Pocket PC or PDA's and I have about the same knowledge regarding GMS technology.
I know people get mad or annoyed when questions are asked that have been answered before on the forums. However, I have searched and found nothing that can help me or that I can understand. I am a quick learner. LOL
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit. I do also have the cradle

Looking at the three options you gave me, i decided to try the Wizard again.
I did not use the 2nd Link in your reply. Partially because I dont have a card reader. The device does have a 128mb card in it.
I did not use the 3rd link in your reply because It seems a bit over my head.
Following the Wizard this is where I get stuck.
(Unlock Wiz/Wallaby/SER/go)
1. Back up your data in such a way that you can restore it to a new ROM version. This probably means you want to synchronize contacts and calendar with Outlook on your desktop, and create copies of the files you need.
1. I i dont have any data on the pocket pc at the moment.
2. Download and install the SpecialEditionROM. It will unlock your phone as a part of the cold-boot procedure.
2. How do i Install this? Do I install it to my pc? Do I install it to the Wallaby? if so how do i install it to the wallaby. Will it matter that I dont have any user profiles created? will it matter that there is a sim chip in the device? What is the "Cold-boot procedure"
3. Synchronize using ActiveSync to get your contacts and calender data back, and copy back the files.
3. Does this step matter for me since I have not information I want to put back on the Device?
Edit. Is this the correct download: XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
Edit 2. I got it to install the special edition rom, now it asked if I want to unlock the phone now. I said "yes" but I do not know which option to choose.
As I said in my first post I am in the US and will be using my cingular wireless account and sim card. I do not see an option for this.
I am king of all that is old t-mobile pocket pc phones. LOL
I got it to work , thanks for the help. I may start a pay pal account just to donate. This is a great site. now for the acceroies and to figure out how to use the new programs that the rom put in
Hi everyony,
I'd like to ask for help. I couldn't find any answer on this forum.
Is there any way to reset the simlock counter in HTC Touch HD2 (Leo) ?
I have tried 5 times. I have now the right sim unlock code form my operator and I'm not able to use it.
Please advise. Thank you.

No, this is a security feature on the sim card. Your sim card is locked and therefore you will need to contact your provider.
If you have set up your online account, you can get your sim unlock code from there. However if you have entered your sim unlock code incorrectly 3 times, you sim will be permantly blocked - you will need a new sim card. Give voda a call - it may be possible to unblock with a PUK2 code.
What is the default PUK2 or PIN2? I've only got a few attempts left before my phone self detonates?!
you mean unlock code to make it work with other networks ?
so you can only try 5 times ?
i already wasted 2
No, I've got the PUK (your provider can give you this - it's usually printed on the gubbins that came with your sim card). I'm missing the default PUK2 or PIN2 which came with the handset to let me set security prefs. Anyone?
Please excuse my ignorance, but I am completely new to Android.
I've just bought the wife a new HTC Wildfire from Tesco. I now need to do two things: -
Add Thai fonts
Unlock it from the tesco networkI've downloaded the Anysoft keyboard from the Android market but it doesn't work properly bcse the Thai fonts are not present on the handset. It appears that I need root access to the handset to install them.
I also need to unlock the phone so that wifey can use her Thai sim card in the handset when she is in Thailand.
I've heard of an app called unrEVOked3 - would this enable me to do both of the above and is it simple and easy enough to use?
If I can use unrEVOked3, can I ever reset the handset back to it's original condition if it needs to be returned to Tesco for any reason, or does the use of the software permanently chnage the phone and completely invalidate my guarantee?
I am not sure about unlock the phone but for installing Thai fonts, yes, you have to root it and it is quite easy with unrevoked3.
I think it is possible to backup the android and reflash it back to original condition.
Hi.
I just bought a UK Nook Simple Touch Glowlight. To be exact, I had it delivered to Germany.
Powering it up, it shows me some registering procedure - also with setting up the Wifi. And here I fail. It connects to my Wifi (and also several hotspot mobile phones) telling me it is connect, but it cannot connect to the internet.
So I used tcpdump / wireshark and figured it is aquiring an IP and then trying to connect to h_t_t_p_s : _slash_ _slash_ bncs.barnesandnoble.com - a SSL handshake seems to take place.
The UK telephone support just answers me that it currently is overloaded and hangs up.
I now have two guesses:
a) Registering a UK Nook is currently not allowed from Germany (maybe using my IP to geolocate me).
b) B&Ns serveres are down.
Can anybody confirm a) or b) ?
And do I need to register? I want to use this device primarily as Android device and I'd prefer not to send it back to U.K., if I can make it work.
PS: Sorry for the stupid URL, I am new and not allowed to post outside URLs.
Skip registration
Here is a thread ( link ) that details how to completely skip the registration process. If you do not want to buy books from B&N, perhaps this is your answer.
I had the same problem here (France). I managed to registered my nokk. I solved it like this: instead of choosing french language at setup i chose english, complete the registration and that switch back to french.
Hopes it helps
Thanks

It worked now. I do not know what exactly helped, because it was set to english before. Maybe a hard reset worked magic, or the registration really was temporarily not possible.
I now also rooted it with tinynoot using these step: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33446615&postcount=17
Thanks!!

Hi All,
Recently, I was successful in flashing my HD2 with Windows Phone 7.8 ROM and I'm so thankful to the contributors who have come up with clear documentation. Even I managed to activate my phone through Microsoft within few hours. However I still face issues with Marketplace Country/Region option that appears during first Login. Though my "Region+Language" option under settings shows "United States" , while logging into Marketplace for the first time with my Live ID, my Country/Region is automatically detected as "People's Republic of China" and all apps / Currency are made specific to that region.
I tried resetting my phone several time to try out different Live IDs created with Country as United States / Australia / India. However Country/Region is still automatically selected as "People's Republic of China" every time.
Please help me out in this issue.
Ill Try to Help

I went through same situation as yours, it was also showing me Peoples republic of China, and I could even select it to change it. Alot of apps were unavailable for China.
So I hard reset the device. Then I setup with another new hotmail ID and same activation code, when it asked to select region, I kept phone aside. Then logged in PC and searched for zune in google and it redirected to xbox.com/zune website and in right top corner there is Sign-In, signin with your new email and password that you entered in phone, and then it will ask some settings and region too, select united states from there, then it will assign you some xbox played ID, close browser and pick up your phone. Close the marketplace on phone (which is on select region screen). Confirm its closed. Reopen the market place and you will be headed straight to main page and install any app now
Ask me if you have any problem.
