Protocol version 1.3.3
Any suggestions, please help :

as per following thread link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=1611
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=4203
I came to know from following
"Update: Do not download or install The Manipulator unless you have a serial cable already, and need to reset the call counters or change the IMEI on phones with Radio software prior to 4.20. To remove the SIMlock, simply install the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM, which, apart from unlocking the device, adds lots of other extras. Look at the forum for details on where to get it"
I think I must have "Special Edition ROM" which is not available right now. "I am downloading XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe" but Its for new xdaII I think, it might not work for xdaI.
some other I have downloaded are,
*Unlock XDA manipulator program.zip (contains XDAmSetup.exe)
*XDAunlock.exe (of 19k, which is not working I have tried it. )
*XDAunlock-src.zip (I have download this 2 months back but dont know what is it for).
my phone details
==================
make : ATT
ROM : A.30.09 eng
rom date : 01/01/04
radio ver: A.33.02
protocol v.: 1.3.3
MODEL : PW10B1
==================
Please tell me what should I do.

That is the right file. It's designed for the xda I devices and is able to unlock your device.
There are several places to download it. You can get it via edonkey, should be announced somewhere here on this site, or you can get it from me.... http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/tools/special_rom_1.2.exe.zip

This tool requires a serial cable and i think a Radio version before yours

This tool requires the wmodem application installed in the ROM A.30.09 do not have this.

Same as above, but this is the sourcecode, for modyfing, or self compiling....

thanks for the gr8 help man.
what you suggest me to do for unlocking now.
can you tell me small stepwise procedure because I have many following files and dont know which one should I use first. I am very new and I dont want to take risk, I came to know that procedure can permanent damage my pdaphone, I dont have serial cable yet I am going to buy it rightnow.
Thanks
Just download the XDA-developers Special-Edition ROM 1.2 and install it on your device. (just run the exe)
This should install a new rom on your device (based on 3.17.03) and this ROM includes the xdaunlockk tool. This will automaticly started at the first boot, so that your device will be unlocked.
Test it if it's really unlocked, afterwards you can upgrade your ROM to any version you want. If you don't have an image of your rom you cann cook your own rom at http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org or you can save your old rom before flashing the xda-developers rom to an SD-Card and use that for flashing back....

3. this rom included unlock tool inbuilt and can unlock my phone.

XDArit shoud be old program to write ROMS on SD-Cards.
This tool is included in the XDATools. You can get it also from my site....
Stefan
ok I am going to install special editon rom 1.2 with usb today.
as per following tutorial step.
Backup the existing bootloader and operating system using card reader
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Insert a blank SD card into the XDA
2) Do a hard reset (hold on/off key then press the soft-reset button) click on Contacts button and choose 'CE+BOOT TO SD', and press the action button to backup the ROMs.
3) Once complete, remove the SD card from the PPC and insert it into the card reader.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have now back of rom in my 256 mb sd card.
after backup my sd card is not redable not in reader and in phone, so confused again and not sure that rom is there or not . please suggest if any other backup method.
ok, as per status if its in sd card then how can I restore is in to the phone again If somthing will happen wrong while installing se_rom_1.2.
You should be able to read the card via XDATools.
The format of the Card is in a special way, to get the bootloader of the xda to read the file and flash it back on your device.
You can test it by pressing power button and doing a soft reset. Then bootloader should come up and will tell you, that he found a ROM on your card and asks you if you want to install it.
Entering the bootloader deletes all data on your device....
But if you're going to flas a new ROM on your device it's not important...

I stuck in "Create a V5.15..." pls help
To LumpiStefans and all guys,
Your instruction to unlock SX-56 is impressive. I did perform the "backup ROM" procedure successfully although it quite not the same as you directed, cuz I using ImageTool V1.0.5, but, I stuck in "Create a V5.15 Boot Loader ..." Below are my problems:
1/ I did find the "bootloader_v5_15.nb0 from the self-extracting zip downloadable here in the 'binaries' folder" as you quoted but when I attempt to write to my SD card by Image Tool V1.0.5, I got the message " Unsupported file format, don't know how to how to read the sourcefile..."
2/ Couldn't find XDA ROM Image Tool V1.02. Was it replaced by V1.0.1 or 1.05?
3/ There is no "radio button for 'before 5.17 (1K)'"
3/ therefore, I couldn't do the following steps:
-Select SD Card from the dropdown & Choose 'Write to SD card'
-Click on the radio button for 'before 5.17 (1K)'
-Click the 'Bootloader' checkbox
-Click the '...' button and browse to the 'bootloader_v5_15.nb0' file
-Click 'OK' to write the bootloader ROM to the SD card..
BTW, I did have my new ROM cook downloaded. Just waiting for your suggestion to solve the above problems. Your help is highly appreciated!!!
Big thanks! :wink:
Can some one help me, for some reason I tried to sync my exec but the new radio rom 1.09 would not open to downlad to my exec . I was however able to down load the zip file into the pda but when I open it it asks for the application. I opened the application file but not sure which file inside to open the zip file with. can this rom be upgraded this way. help[/b]
From what I know you can't upgrade it that way. You need to connect your Universal to your computer. You can find tons of instructions on how to install it under "Universal Upgrading Forum". You are posting on the wrong one. So you might not get that many help.
You can try this on wiki

Or Detailed Instruction On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method

guys help please.... i want to upgrade from wm5 to wm6... i dunno where to post thats why i made it here... thanks
you dont mention what device you have
if you have an htc device and got the rigth rom for it
and get that error when you run the flash tool then
maybe it's because your rom as in the nbf file is not in the
same dir as the flash tool
Hi guys, I'm currently trying to update my Rogers HTC Touch Diamond to the WWE 2.07 ROM which i downloaded from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512505
I have HardSPL, and I've updated my radio before, but never ROMs. So When I tried to run this official RUU, it seemed like it started (saw progress bar at 0%), but then my phone resets and the RUU gives me an error message saying "Invalid Model ID" and something like "This utility cannot be used to update your device". How do I get around this?
I read the thread which explains how to get around the invalid model id error, however it requires that I extract the NBH and build a new one. However, I only have the RUU of 2.07, not the NBH. There's one posted in the thread, but it only contains the OS. Can someone please provide me with a NBH for this ROM (Complete with the OS/Splash/etc, but radio and SPL not required)??? Thanks.
hi if you have an official rom which is a EXE file just use winrar to extract the files you need then flash using the internal storage.
I hope this helps you.
I have a cid unlocked artemis,with wm6.0 on it.
I've tried to install more than 10 different rom's(WM 6.1 and 6.5)and i always get either of the 2 following errors:
ERROR 260,and corrupted rom.
Any thoughts?
BTW,i use winvista,and when i flash my asusP535 everything works fine.
download the latest uspl,extract it to a folder,copy the .nbh file from the rom folder to the extracted uspl folder....run the uspl and watch the show
additionally you should go to the wiki or search the forums about vista flashing
