information about resolving unlocking problem xda2 - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

we have 2 xda 2 all bought at the same time one had an early version radio stack which unlocked easily with "xda2unlock.exe" however my problem started when the first method didnt work for the second xda2. after reading page after page on the forum i found "xda2unlock-setup" this worked for the modern radio stack version 1.10.
both programs are here

This rom upgrade uti;ity does not design for your device please get proper rom.
Rom was for XDA II's. PDF on website said get restore rom but i cant find a link to that anywhere anyone got a o2 restore rom? i can try?
xda_IIs_LaunchROM_v1.12.162_178.exe is the restoration ROM
is it an original O2UK? operator id O2___001
did you do another upgrade prior to this one? Then it may have overwritten your operator id in your xdaiis
xda3nbftool, ER2003EDIt are useful tools
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=78053#78053
i think iv over written my operator thingi if i download the orginal rom how do i put it back to uk o2 so the update will work?
my daddy always said,
"if it aint broken, dont fix it."
The current situation the XDA IIS just displays USB v 2 0 6
soft or cold reboot wont change this, cradle dosnt seem to show connected. it has been working
I got a copy of Xda_IIs_LaunchROM_v1.12.162_178 i belive is the default rom for the xda IIs i try to run this and it say error 150 rom ugrade utility error
This rom utility dosnt not designed for your device.
been suggested iv over written somet on my xda ie the operator thigi, so how do i change that bac?
Sad russ

i had same problem with you, just do the update again ignored what displayed in the screen.
ANYHELP??
Maybe this needs to be clarified on here and made into a sticky. The SourceO2 rom has been listed in error and calls to have it removed or even tested to prove its wrong are being ignored. Subsequently people such as yourselves are finding your devices have been turned into bricks! (Luckily not forever :wink: )

Unfortunately as far as I know there is not yet an official O2 rom for the Blue Angel device that is freely downloadable. But you will find in this forum roms from other operators that can be made to work as a perfect replacement.
Ash
Can anyone with new XDA2s just do image of all files on the XDA and affter that we may just upload that to these bricks wich we have now?
Please
Well my units gone bak to o2 to reflash if i can do a back up of the rom for the forum and its needed if somone told me how to i would certainly do that and upload it somere
Russ
How much it will cost and how long it will take to refresh tat in O2? An what reason You give to them?
Fixed?
Hey
Just got an e-mail back from source O2:
Hi Ashley,
apologies for the incorrect file published and thank-you for bringing it to our attention.
The error has now been rectified & I can assure you, tested. Its is available at the same link as previous;

Anyone with a Blue Angel (XDA 2s, MDA III, PDA2K) like to see if re-downloading this and trying it works?
Ash
It is installing but we will see if it is working after 20 min.
Ok it is working properly
Thanx for help
hmm
Well iv told them it just stopped working. Am still under the 14 day period so I can cancel with them for any reason I see fit. Said it be 7 days, so free.
Hmm
Well I guess us and few other will be back with our XDA II's back with o2 Rom.
From wot iv read the to have ROM is the I-mate one. But am scared to try this now. Does it drasticly get better on this rom.
Scared Russ

Cingular 8125 HELP!!!

Okay I need some major help. During an exhaustive search to find out why my Cingular 8125 does not have BT Stereo capabilities I found this forum. According to a couple of threads the v2.17 ROM Upgrade should fix this issue. Well I ran the upgrade and not only do I still not have the wireless stereo, but under my device information....my ROM version is showing 1.8.11.1 WWE....NOT 2.17. I dont know what to do......does anyone have any ideas? In addition I cannot find a thread that tells me how to unlock my SIM. My model number is WIZA100.

As far as the ROM flashing goes - I had a similar problem where the OS ROM wasn't updating. Mine was from one summiter ROM version to another, but I found that flashing back to the original Cingular ROM (using summiter's stock 1.8 Cingular ROM) and then flashing with the 2.17 ROM worked.
Thanks CameronJ....so, did you run the add on seperate from the ROM upgrade in order to the A2DP working? According to summiter, the 2.17 upgrade was supposed to include the A2DP. Ah well....I will try the addon and see if that works for me. Thanks again.
I actually don't really care about A2DP - I don't use my phone for listening to music - so I can't help you with that question unfortunately.
Same issue
I have the same problem but doing as you said did not correct it. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Your problem is with the OS upgrade not taking? Are you sure that you have unlocked your phone? What's your current OS version?

wm6 for tmob vario2 uk... which version should I use and how?

Hi guys, I am a serial lurker here for several years.. and finally decided to upgrade my vario 2 to shiny wm6. I have downloaded black 2.5 and wanted to find out it all works great and how to install....
i haven't made any other changes to my vario 2 so want to get this right first time!
I think you need to lurk (and read) a bit longer, this same question has already been asked today!
lol, I read that which sparked an interest in upgrading...
What I wanted to know was which was the "best version" to install and what was the best procedure to follow for tmob uk.. I have seen plenty that mention the usa networks but no instructions specifically for tmob..
I know that a lot of you guys have already done it, so I just wanted to pull at your experience and get a good safe method!!!
Put on the fire proof suit quickly my friend, I think it will get very hot very shortly.
Check the WIKI, look for custom rom upgrading and follow MrVanx's idiot proof guides.
Black 2.5 has a UK TMob version as well. The thread is fairly obvious.....
great thanks for the advice....
I will look for it.... would be handy to have a direct url for any other tmob users that come across this post...
I used vanx
I used vanx's update method to install the hard spl, and now my phone is stuck on the 4 colours and won't go any further......
Can anyone help?
His guide also has a what to do if things go wrong section IIRC?
Also, read all 74 pages of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
phew I was lucky, I only needed to reset as it was stuck in bootloader. however when I try to instal hard spl it gives me a request to run enterbl.exe which when I run it, resets the device immediately into a boot loader screen (the colors) and doens't update the firmware...
Have you got all the necessary .net framework stuff installed?
Presume you are using XP not Vista.
i'm still using black 2 but will be upgrading to black 2.5 over the next few days when i have time. I'm also on t-mobile uk and although i havn't tried either the standard black2.5 or the t-mobile one, it'll be the standard version I install as i'd rather keep my phone clean from any t-mobile stuff. Thats just me though.
.net framework? I have looked all over and can't see any reference to it.. can you clarify??
edit:sorry am runnig latest 2.0 version

You need .net framework 2. If you havent got it, download from microsoft. You should read MrVanx guide
You will need to wait for one of the gurus to look in then I am afraid - I followed the guide and it all worked for me.....
T-Mobile - UK W'n'W
I've bitten the button and upgraded both my rom and radio and so far so good
Check this thread, it helped me when I was stuck on bootloader:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
thanks for the message, however I am back in the os... I think it must be some type of software lock.... does t-mob application lock their devices?
Hi, dont know about t-mobile, but I know Orange uk lock their's. However I followed Mr Vanx's excellent guide on the hermes wiki & have flashed a few times with no problems so far. Currently running Black 2.5 (excellent), with no issues.
I use
t-mob and hermes adn black 2.5. Absolutely great.
haven't bothered with the specific t-mobile flavoured rom, but downloaded a cab file which you won't need which oads the settings for mms and other such "treats" like that.
Have used black since 1.0 and think it's great, and continues to get better.

Newest HTC Aussie ROM

Yep, they release it a few days ago on their website and i have tried 3 times to DL it but each time it gives me an error right at the end saying the file cannot be read or something... RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship.exe
Can someone who has already downloaded it upload it to rapidshare or something please?
I only plan on using it if my phone needs to be fixed so it is still under warranty........
thanks
Already covered here:

thanks- didnt see that- managed to dl it using getright this time....
I can't install this rom...
The configuration stop always in 28% !!
Seems to be the problem with IPL/SPL upgrade included in the ROM package. Many people had this problem with the new SEA and ANZ WM6 ROM. The upgrade only works on CID matching or CID unlocked devices.
You can find many hints to solve your problem using the search function "stuck in bootloader trinity"
Solution1: reconstruct the new ROM without IPL/SPL upgradefile (see search results)
Solution2: unlock your Device CID and try the upgrade again
Hope this helps.

upgrade hermes 8525

hi all does anyone know how to obtain an upgrade for hermes 8525 from windows 5 to windows 6and how it should be done? or if its advisable to do so....thanks in advance..
There are numerous options. But first you need to put HardSPL on your device. The only method that worked with my AT&T 8525 was the SD card method.
art here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419158
There is a lot of information in the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
You can snag the update to the stock wm6 at&t here: http://www.4shared.com/file/96949781/3873b8fd/RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_362502.html
There is also a HTC version floating around too. Got it uploaded. http://www.4shared.com/file/174831069/1dd19a3/HTC_TyTN_WWE_3542553_6275_1480.html
I would also suggest making sure your phone has hardslpv7 loaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Then you will be set for flashing! There are tons of custom roms around here as well.
thanks

Infrared Should work on your device as is. You may just need to enable receiving of files.
I'm sure all of your answers are buried somewhere here on the site. There is tons of information here. There is a search feature at the top brown bar that will search the entire site using google. It will help you find all sorts of stuff
