use of xda in New Zealand

Hi
I have just moved to New Zealand. In Germany I enjoyed the xda very much... but here... I have the unlock problem + some others...
I bought the the xda approx. a year ago. Now my questions:
1. Can anyone tell me what to do after another with the version I (probably ) have, in order to unlock the xda?
2. What do I have to configure that I can use the xda here in New Zealand with its existing GPRS network?
Thank you all for your support and ideas!
Cheers
Tobias

The easiest way to unlock will be to install the Developers Rom 1.1. Vodafone here in NZ have a GPRS setup guide for the Qtek (step by step with screenshots), contact them for a copy (I could not find it on their website, but I am sure I have a copy somewhere, so let me know if you can't get a copy and I will see if I can find mine)
Cheers
Nick.

Thank you.
Sorry in advance for punishing those that have read this question uncountable times.....:
How/Where do I install the Developers Rom?
- where do I get it from?
- what does it cost?
- what do I have to do with it?
blablabla
Thanks for your patience
Tobias

it s a free ROM (Thanks to you guys @ XDA-developers) and you will find the howto page with all links up there in the navigation menu.
Everything is explained.

Pocket PC 2003
I am running Pocket PC 2003 in New Zealand. Didnt have to change much, just the voice mail, sms message center numbers and the GPRS settings. seems to work well. I presume you are talking about the simlock. There is a Util that will unlock your device view http://xda-developers.com/XDAunlock/

Thats good news... and
I have gone through the plenty of information of the site here... however
Is there any "don´t worry - be happy - solution" around = e.g. somebody has prepared it totally.... and just put the card in and say "run"....
= can I buy a complete card somewhere or something?
I do not have time to do all those things needed :-(
any ideas ?
thx

Where abouts are you in NZ. I could possibly create you a SD card but I cant promise that it will work.

kewl... that would be great.
I am in the Auckland region. Waiheke Island to be more specific.
I can come on the mainland any time. A very good friend of mine is trying to get that xda unlocked. He is in Germany right now but unfortunately he has nearly no time. I gave him the xda THREE month ago to try to unlock but I never found time. In August he is coming to New Zealand and doing a tour here. So he can bring the xda with him and then we could check it out with the SD card.
that would be cool
thanks for your help
Tobias

The XDA's bought in NZ are unlocked so if you have to you can get them in NZ for about $1500NZ

nono..
I HAVE one... It did not bring it with me to NZ cause I hoped my friend in Germany could unlock it first...
I do not want to buy one. In August my friend comes and he brings the xda with him. Then I would be glad to know somebody here in NZ that could unlock my xda.
Can you do that?
Thanks
Tobias

nz gprs setting
go to this site:
http://www.vodafone.co.nz/mobiles/05.1_makes_and_models.jsp
Then look for qtek 1010-wap&gprs guide and download the settings

hi,
where did you get the your qtek pc2003 update from?
I have a qtek but runs on pc2002. My radio version is 3.23.01
and rom version:3.1652eng. I bought my qtek in NZ.
I am trying to get the new windows mobile update but it
is still not available yet.

PPC2003PE
My phone has Radio ver 4.21. And bootloader 5.22. The rom ver is now 3.04.00 ENG. It was purchased in NZ unlocked.
The files I used to put the new OS on the phone are below on one of my old sites temporarily.
R E M E M B E R do not overwrite the boot loader and make a backup of your existing ROM first using the wallaby boot loader and an SD card. I backed up both the CE and BOOT ROM just in case.
This is not an official release and it may contain bugs (Not that I’ve found any, seems to work better than before 8) ) . There were a few regional settings you need to change. You will also have to re-enter the voice mail number +64 021 700 700 for NZ. It may not be compatable with some old software also.
I take no responsibility if this doesn’t work, but it did work for me.

Xperia X10 Sim and Clock Problem

Hi all,
Hope you can help.
My X10 is fantastic BUT.....the clock has stopped updating itself and only works by manually adjusting the time and not having it set to 'automatic network-provided values'.
Could this be related to my problem I had last week? I was updating my security and was locked out of my phone, now each time I switch my mobile on I have to enter the PUK Code!
Very frustrating I cannot figure it out,my internet setting are default and turned on, I have a 3G signal...etc...can anyone help?
Many thanks
JP

Holy ....
Did you even think about using the forum search engine?
Example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=38033592
Both topics have been discussed a few times...
@Mods: PLEASE close....

Hi McKebapp,
Thanks for your replay, sorry a late reply been out all day.
I did use the search engine and read the earlier posts however didn't feel I have obtained the answer I require.
Some suggest it is the network provider, debranding mobile, using task killer, none of which apply to me. It seems the only option or solution is to manually set the time?
I too have contacted Sony for support but no reply.
I have also searched for an answer to why my mobile is Sim PUK Locked each time I resart it?
Any help is appreciated.
JP

O.k., then I won't be that mean.
Could you please note some specs of your phone?
Whats the exact firmware version?
Do you make use of a taskkiller or not?
To you PUK problem: Please put you SIM card into another phone to check out if its a problem of the SIM itself...

Thanks McKebapp,
Glad Im not in trouble I do appreciate the help.
Mobile Info...
Model: X10i
BaseBand: 1.0.14
Kernal: 2.6.29-rel [email protected]#2
Build No: R1FA014
Firmware version: 1.6
As for task killer, I have no evidence of this or a simlar software on the mobile applications. Packages I have installed only include games, Swype & application installer)
I inserted the sim into my LG Viewty and it required the PUK to access the phone.
Thanks
JP

O.k. .14 is the oldest offical Firmware. Search the forum or xperiax10.net for the debranding tutorial and whip that thing atleast to .16 or directly to. 21 if there really is no task manager or killer or so running.
To your PUK: Talk to your provider, what is to do...

Hey about clock problem, i had the same problem & i reinstalled firmaware using SEUS & it helped. My firmaware is R1FB001 now. Check, may be you can also get latest firmaware
About sim, it seems you've problem with your sim card. You can get a new one from your carrier i think

I have this problem after unbranding my phone. If I use the automatic time feature it will be about 1 hour behind real time.
Setting up the time manually keep the time correct though, but I hope they do fix the issue with the 'May' update.

Hi Mckebapp,
Thanks for the help. I will look to upgrade the firmware as you hve noted.
Regards
JP

Availability in Dubai / UAE?

Hi All,
Has anyone managed to purchase the phone in Dubai or UAE? Despite Samsung launching the phone here in May, they still haven't made it available for purchase in the shops. According to Samsung's help line, they're having problems with Arabic on the phone. This means that it won't be available until the 15th of July.
I don't need Arabic however. Anyone find it in a shop here?
Cheers,
A.

I heard that it is available at Axiom retail stores in UAE, if not then try Expansys.ae

bought mine in Dubai from Axiom in ibn battuta AED 2,699 for 16 GB
Enjoy

[Q] If I update my Unlocked Vodafone HTC Legend do i need to unlock again?

Hi Guys,
I am currently downloading the new Froyo version for the HTC Legend, I have never rooted/unlocked the phone, it is kind of new, only a couple of weeks old (purchased in Vodafone, Spain, but using it in Tigo, Colombia).
So, my question is, If i install this new version, do i need to unlock it again? i mean, purchase another unlock code? Or it just continue working normally?
What do you think guys?
Please let me know!
Camilo

Nope, you're good to go. I updated my unlocked/unbranded Legend.

Great! thanks a lot!

Hi,
I guess there will be one generic for central Europe. I already acquired some details from one GT B5510 sold in CZ, I'm just waiting for the product code.
After that we will see what fus will offer me
but so far I'm using one netherlands rom and it runs fine - only few minor problem which i was also experiencing in the begining when i bought the phone - sd card disconnects and no network but both this issues occurred just once
So maybe at the end I will just stick with the Netherlands ROM, cos anyway it looks completly like the one which I had before with new gui for picking up the calls.

To fix the sd card problem try changing the kernel, I had my phone with that problem and I fixed it with this way. Just look the Doky's thread about kernels
