Hello,
I need to unlock my Seimens Sx56 I downloaded version 1.2exe
but I get an error message "can not find ROM image to upgrade your Pocket PC"
Current
ROM A30.09
ROM 01/01/04
Radio Version A.33.02
Protocol version 1.3.3
Any suggestions, please help :
looking for the same.
it might require special editio rom.
What have you downloaded, and what is required by you? Maybe i can help....
Stefan
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....

as per your instruction in given link.
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/tools/manual_unlock.htm
there is no need of manipulator I think because I can unlock by othere way as you given.
what I will do is.
1. will backup my original rom.
2. install new SE 1.2 rom which can be install without serial cable I think as per you.
3. this rom included unlock tool inbuilt and can unlock my phone.
is this work.
and please tell me what is "XDArit (XDA ROM Image Tool V1.2)"
is it available here http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/tools/

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...
Stefan
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:
Hi, i have a SPV5000 and i can put a lot of kind of 1.13 rom inside, like Qtek or Orange.
But impossible to put any 1.30 rom (orange, qtek french or WWE).
I've tried a lot of solution like "put the radio first" ... rest after.
Do you know if it's possible that my hardware version refuse this 1.30 rom?
I think the guy who sell me the spv sell me a pre-serie .
Thanks
The first question I want to ask is: How do you perform the upgrade? Do you use the No ID Tool? If not, try using it. Here is an instructions I made:
The file is extracted in your computer. Once you run the shipped.exe file, you need to go to:
My Computer
Your Drive (mine is Drive C)
Show the contents of this drive
Documents and Settings
Choose your folder name
Choose "TOOLS" from the menu bar
Choose "FOLDER OPTIONS"
Click on the "VIEW" tab
Click on "HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS"
YOU WANT TO SHOW ALL HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS
Now go to TEMP folder
Now you will notice a bunch of folders will show up, tons of them to be exact. What you need to do now is click on the shipped.exe file again and "LOOK" for the folder being created because that folder is what you want to copy. If you did not see it created, you have to manually open each folder and look for the files I listed below.
Assuming you found the folder, you will have these following files inside that folder:
ms_.nbf----------------------this file is responsible for EXT ROM Version
nk.nbf------------------------this file is responsible for Windows Mobile Version
radio.nbf---------------------this file is responsible for Radio Version
EnterBL
GetDeviceData
readme
ROMUpgradeUt
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
UI.dll
MaUpgradeUt_noID
If the file MaUpgradeUt_noID is not there. You need to get hold of a copy of this file as you need this.
There you have it, REMEMBER, you need to have the MaUpgradeUt_noID file plus all the rest of the file in one folder if you want to upgrade to the ENTIRE I-Mate ROM, QTEK, O2, or whatever ROM you want.
If you only want to upgrade to the radio version then you need to delete 2 files namely: "ms_.nbf" and "nk.nbf". Leave "radio.nbf" alone and click on the "MaUpgradeUt_noID" file to initiate the Radio installation. Basically those 3 files control what you want to update on your device.
Hope my instructions were clear enough for you. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your complete response
Of course i'm using the MaUpgradeUt_noID ... i have no error message during the process but at the end after the hard reset i have black screen.
and to try to only flash the radio I renames other files .
thanks
I steel don't enderstand ....

It won't hurt to try and update using Boot Loader Mode.
What do you mean "0.56"?
when I put my spv in bootloader mode, I can see on the screen :
on the top : USB
Botom of the screen V.0.56

You might be right. Your exec must be one of the earlier version. I remeber some time ago, someone asked the same question you did. Maybe someone else can help. Have you tried upgrading it using my instructions?
thank you again and of course I've tryed your method.
every thing works with previous version but not on 1.30
i spent 3 days on it .....

I believe you need to find out how to upgrade the "Serial USB" application on your Universal for the No_ID Tool to work. Other than that you probably need a version of the No_ID Tool that works at an earlier version of the "Serial USB" version that you have. I'm sorry too, if I didn't help.
I'll aoppreciate if someone can help me with ROM image for this device. Thank you!

Hi,
I'm in the same situation (minus second device), if you find a solution please let me know.
Try with this tool to make a dump http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945 but first you need to run explorer. Here you can find http://uploaded.to/?id=1ak1mz what to put on SD-card to access explorer.
On "MyGuide 3100" autorun is not working so you need to run the dump program manual from explorer, the dump.bin will be in root of SDcard.
Regards,
Bogdan
if you dump it your magellan please sent me winceimg.bin([email protected]) thank you!

... after a wrong change in shellres.dll.049.mui !
The hex editor seems not so good... Maybe I didn't use it properly.
Activesync cannot detect the mobile because of that change.
I have the right file on my computer and on my phone (in Temp folder).
I have not safe mode tool installed on the mobile.
I think that a hard reset is not useful because I changed a ROM file.
So, how to recover the file ?
Thanks for your help !

Try to reinstall the ROM
If Activesync will not read your phone, then perform a hard reset. The hex editor did not modify the original copy of the file stored in ROM, so that should work.
It also helps to say which phone you have...
I have an Herald with WM6
The file I modified was marked as "ROM file" and I used ROMExtractor to make changes. So, where is the original file in the ROM ?
And how to re-install the original ROM if Windows desn't start ?
I also have the CD with the original WM6.

If Windows will not start, you should be able to enter the bootloader manually and flash from there. However, I do not have any experience with the Herald, so don't quote me on that.
Herald seems similar to many HTCs with a material keyboard
What do you mean when you say "enter the bootloader manually" ? What is the bootloader ?
And what about "flash from there" ?
Does the bootloader allow to start the mobile with safe mode like a computer, with similar DOS commands ? That should be nice, mainly when we have a material kbd !
Because I need only to copy a file from a folder \temp to \windows ...
I'm making some progress...
Ok for bootloader : I'm able to start the mobile with bootloader (with Herald, the key combination is Power+Camera+CommManager keys, without stylus).
So, I would like to only restore one file without installing WM. Is it possible to make a file copy from the mobile, or from a computer.
The computer now recognizes a connection to the USB port, but ActiveSync doesn't.
Any idea about using the bootloader or a safe mode ?
I have access to the mobile (starting with 3 colors stripes) from my computer. But how to access to the files on the device ?
How to access files without ActiveSync
I made a bad change in shellres.dll.0409.mui and my device (Herald) cannot boot normally. It is frozen on the Windows welcome page (WM6.0).
So, Activesync cannot detect the device.
I would like to copy the good file from my computer to the device, or to copy the good file which is still installed on my device in \Temp, to \windows.
Is it possible to do that with mtty, with the bootloader mode, or with another tool ?
I'm afraid that a hard reset is not useful because shellres.dll.0409.mui is a "ROM file" (ROM property checked, is it considered as the ROM component ?).
And I don't want to flash ou upgrade the ROM. It is Ok except shellres.
Thanks for your help !
For all those who are struggling to extract the contents of the '.abi' file for P552w and P565, here is a good news !!
I found these tools somewhere on a non-English forum, while searching for the decryption tools.
It is a command-line tool that directly works on the '.abi' file, and produces the '.nb0' file.
Part02.nb0 is the OS Image and Part03.nb0 is the ExtROM.
Let me know if you face any difficulties. I have used it on my P565 and successfully dumped the ROM (using imgfs tools on the the OS image). Working on the kitchen now....
Hoping for someone to come up with a kitchen for P552w/P565 soon...lol
cheers,
We also have decrypted P565's rom,and now the problem is how to encrypt the rom.Do you found any tools to encrypt it?

Well, decryption and encryption are both resolved. The only issue is to find where the IMGFS checksum is stored, and update the new checksum there. The '.abi' ROM Header is encrypted using some complicated encrption( not XOR ), and I have not been successful in decoding it as of now.
I see you're all experts here. Maybe you can help me.
I just want to know if it is possible to upgrade my italian ROM with an english one (P552w)?
If not I guess I can throw away my Asus while I don't speak Italian

Sure buddy, no need to throw it away...
Just follow these simple steps :
1. Ensure that your Storage card capacity does not exceed 2GB and is not corrupt.
2. Connect the device using activesync and wait till the connection is established.
3. Go to file explorer on your PC and enable the option to display hidden files and folders.
3. Take your English ROM ( .exe file) and execute it from your PC.
4. Press 'next' till you see the error message that the ROM is not meant for your device. Wait !!
5. While this message is still being displayed, go to the folder which contains your ROM ( .exe file). You will see a file called 'tmp_rom.abi'. Rename this file to 'GM5.abi'.
6. Now close the error message screen.
7. Copy 'GM5.abi' to your Storage card.
8. Now Press the "Navipad down"+ "Reset" buttons and keep them pressed until you see the reboot screen.
9. That's it. The ROM flashing process will begin automatically.
10. Do not press any button till the ROM flashing is in progress. The device wil reboot automatically.
Enjoy your new English ROM.
Disclaimer : Hope you are aware about the risks associated with the ROM flashing process.
First of all, thanks rishi for your help, but in my case something doesn't work.
I get to the boot screen where it says that it can not find the file (but it is on the card).
I followed all the steps (including 1GB storage card) but always the same, no success.
Is it possible that this is because of my Asus which was I suppose unlocked before I bought it. It has an Italian mobile provider logo on boot screen?
Do you have any other solution for my problrm?
Thanks again for your effort,
Van Gog
Found a solution!!!!
The name of *.abi file must be the same as the name of an *.exe file!
WOW!
Thanks a lot, you saved my Asus!!
Greetings,
VanGog
It should be GM2_name.abi and don't forget to clear hidden attribute.
For me it works also on 4GB card.
rishi, you said that "decryption and encryption are both resolved", is it using the same tool? I cannot say I got it...
weiqiix,
You may use this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511158
Thank you very much, I'll test it right now.
Then I could even understand what (and how) to do with those *.nb0 files,
and who knows, I could understand my p552w's internals
If anyone can fix the camera and video problem that will be perfect!
