Is this a legit Siemens upgrade? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Could someone please tell me if this is the actual upgrade that was released by Siemens? Link: http://www.netlano.com/support/Downloads/SX56/index.htm
Also, will I be able to use my phone with T-Mobile after this upgrade? Currently, my SX56 is unlocked.

Well, for one thing its a Rogers upgrade... if I'm not mistaken, that AT&T Canada specific. (not that I really know). I'm still looking for the AT&T SX56 (US) release that got yanked off SIemens site.
d.

Wait...are you sure its ONLY for canada? from the version it says A.30.09 which is the AT&T SX56...or if its different, what the difference? does it still have the volume attenuation problem? thanks..

It's not the A.30.09 ROM.....
Like the download link tells it's Version 30.07.
If you analyse the ROM, you're getting it as Version R.30.07.....
HTH

Blackberry and Qtek 9090

Hi All
I've been looking at getting a Qtek 9090 for a while now and I have seen lots of postings talking about the t-mobile mda iii supporting blackberry etc and maybe the odd posting where someone in the UK has got a xda2s or 9090 to do it using a particular rom.
Can anyone say that they have witnessed a 9090 with ANY rom on it that supports blackberry in the UK with Vodafone?
I'm really keen to get this going as it should be my ultimate device!
Thanks
Will.
Blackberry support has to be implemented at the provider end, as well as with the client software. Does Vodafone have Blackberrys?
Chris
Vodafone UK supports both Blackberry Internet Service (formerly Blackberry Web Client) and Blackberry Entreprise Server.
For BIS pricing Check Vodafone Blackberry Price Plan
As for the Blue Angel software, T-Mobile's Germany ROM supports the Blackberry Connect. Confirmation can be found here.
For a list of supported devices check Blackberry Connect. Scroll down to the paragraph that says Available Operating Systems and Devices.
Hope this helps.
I'm using Blackberry from T-Mobile UK. Using the ROM supplied by T-Mo UK Customer Services. It only works with their radio ROM, which means no radio upgrades possible. Push emails are great, but this version doesn't seem to be able to handle attachments (larger than a few kb).
Ok, thats all fine - we already have a vodafone BES server etc using standard blackberry handhelds and also nokia 6810 mobiles.
The real question though is - although t-mobile have got the MDA iii working with blackberry abroad (and with their radio rom) - is it possible to install their radio/roms etc onto the 9090 successfully?
I need to get the device (whatever I get) sim-free, and I am having trouble finding an mda iii sim-free in the uk...
Thanks
Will.
The T-Mobile ROM is available on this site:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
The BlueAngel is available SIM free from eXpansys.com and I got mine considerably cheaper from justtelecoms.com and it comes with the BB ROM already installed.
JT also do it on 1 year and 2 year contracts
Ok, thanks for that.
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=QTEK_9090 is what I've been looking at getting
Can I presume that it is perfectly possible to install the t-mobile roms onto a qtek 9090 and then unlock to any network (as I'd need to use my voda sim)
Thanks
Will.
I beleive the Q9090 from expansys is already unlocked and yes, you can install any rom.
The JustTelecomms option comes with the correct rom already installed and they will sell it sim free for £330 and unlock it for only £15 or you can use the free unlock tool available here on xda-developers.
Can we all assume it will work? Yes.
Can we guarantee it will work? No.
I have bought the XDA IIs on this assumption. Due to lack of time the device is still in its box.
In the meantime I am still using my Blackberry 7230 but soon I will get my hands dirty and start playing with the XDA. If you're willing to wait a week or two then I'll let you know of the results.
I called justmobile and they don't take credit cards!!
Any other suggestions?

O2 XDA EXEC UNLOCKING

Now here's a strange thing! I have recently downloaded and upgraded my O2 XDA's firmware with the latest version from O2, filename Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162 (this was released circa mid-April 2006).
Whilst I was having a search both on this and other forums for unlocking software for the same model, I came across a link back to O2. Imagine my suprise when I found that the file was no longer available and had been replaced with a previous release!!!!
Well, the phone has been fairly reliable, needing perhaps just one reboot or less per day and it has been having very extensive use. I wondered why O2 would pull this release? Then I thought, hang-on, found a T-Mobile SIM and installed it.
Guess what??!!! (you've guessed, you've spoilt my news....)
The phone is unlocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I don't know of course was whether the XDA Exec phone was unlocked to start with, but certainly my previous XDA IIi WAS locked by O2.
Can anyone else confirm on their non-upgraded or upgraded device please?
Regards
David
As I understand it the o2 Execs sold in the UK are not locked. The T-Mobile and Orange variants ARE locked (worse luck - I have the T-Mo MDA Pro).
Yours will never have been locked.
Cheers,
Phil
What Unlock Code?
mmm, I think I'll sit down and have a nice mug of Ovaltine.
Yep, quite correct, it appears that o2 XDA Execs are supplied unlocked. Also the latest firmware IS still available, but there is an old link which only points to the older firmware.
Here's the new stuff:-

Advice : Upgrading to WM6 for MDA Vario II on T-Mobile UK

Hello,
I have an MDA Vario II on T-Mobile UK which I bought less than one month ago. I can see that HTC have released an official WM6 upgrade for the phone but I cannot find an official upgrade on T-Mobiles UK site.
Can I use the official HTC WM6 ROM Update Utility and get my phone to WM6? If so when I boot my phone up into WM6 for the first time what must I do to get my GPRS settings etc. back on? Just use the online T-Mobile service which send s them?
I know it sounds like a n00bish question, but I've just got this phone and don't fancy bricking it just yet!
Any links to additional downloads, resources etc. would be well received.
Thanks everyone
Anyone able offer advice? I've done a lot of reading about this on the XDA-Developers site but I'm still in the dark about whether or not something might refuse to work after flashing or how to best avoid the dreaded bricking.
Thanks again

I'm so confused...

Hi,
I wondered if anyone could clear up my problem...
I have read a lot of threads on different forums about WM6. There's very little information about WM6 upgrades with the PDA I have - the O2 XDA Mini S.
I'm looking to upgrade to WM6, and cannot find any way to do so. I've found T-Mobile offering an upgrade service to their customers, but not O2.
I'm not after any kind of cracked, illegal copy, I just want to know if O2 offer the same service?
Is it that it hasn't been released for this PDA model? Or the service is just not available?
I just want a way to get it! lol
Please help me out!
Thanks

There is no official WM6 out there for your device (HTC Wizard) not from T-Mo, nor from O2, nor from any other operator; so if you don't want to experiment with cooked/leaked roms, you are unfortunatelly out of luck.

Can anyone help me??

Hi
I have an O2 Exec on contract. This has a few problems and my Dad has just given me his QTEK 9000 (same model) but his is on contract with 3. WHat I'm wanting to do is to use his machine but with my sim card in it as his machine is hardly used and in much better condition. When I changed over the sim card, the QTEK is asking me for a unlocking code. Now I'm not wanting to do anything illegal!! I just want to use his machine instead of mine. If I can't then I'll live with mine but how can I go about unlocking it? And why does it need unlocking?
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
David
It says that 'Network is locked'
Does that mean that my O2 network is locked?? I'm confused??
is that an HTC universal?
cos there is this, on the wiki...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Simlock_by_Buzz_and_team
Thanks!!
However, the buzz link does not work and I'm guessing I need it for the .exe files. Any other links?
