I just purchased a t-mobile sx56 which was supposed to be unlocked. I am in canada and need it for rogers.
It has XDA Special edition ROM ver 1.2 installed and in the bottom rt corner it says 3.17.
When I insert my sim it says Please input unlock code SID:
I have tried to hard reboot and have reinstalled the rom again and it just defaults to autoconfiguration setup where you can choose your country and provider.
I cannot get to a screen where it asks if i want to unlock the phone.
I have also downloded unlock prgs which i installed on the pda and they cannot unlock...something about wireless not being on.
Do I have to connect a serial cable? I ask because I have a laptop which does not have a serial input.
Any thoughts??? Help
1 Million Cudos for anyone who can get ths unlocked for me..

I depends which version your wallaby currently is
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UnlockWiz
My version of wallaby says 5.22...
Update
OkOk I have tried to cook a rom..no luck it still asks for sid unlock code. I have tried pretty much everything known to man. Mr radio version is 6.25 and I have been told there has been little luck with this radio version
CAN ANYONE UNLOCK MY XDA? Is there finally an issue that cant be solved by all the fine minds on this site????
You have to downgrade your Radio stack to Ver 6.24, then use the utility called XdaUnlock in this Forum, it will be OK

I am trying to unlock my new Orange SPV 1000 I have used the new XDAunlock to no avail, I successfully installed the new program on the device, ran it and got the message successfull repair!! However when I tried my vodafone sim, it asked for the unlock code!! I have tried several times with the sim in and without. Does this new program not produce an unlock code?
Ideas anybody?

Same XDA II Problem
I have the same result. Just received an Orange M100 (XDAII) in UK at my office. Downloaded updated program, ran fine without any errors. Attempted to install my US T-Mobile SIM... asks for unlock code. The Orange SIM works fine. (When in US, need to use local T-Mobile SIM.)
Update program must need another update unfortunately. (Darn Orange)
Follow-up to previous post...
Forgot device details, apologies.

Are you sure it isnt asking for the sim code rather than the phone code? You say you used xdaunlock, you should be using xda2unlock.
Response
I stand corrected... I was using the correct (XDA2UNLOCK) version. I failed to type the correct version in my previous post.
Yes, I'm confident this is not a SIM unlock prompt. It clearly states that this is a Network Provider Unlock prompt.
Thanks.
unlock
i also buyd a spv m1000 in switzerland an want to try a unlock.. so friends please help this man... 8)
Having just tried the lastest version of xda2Unlock, I'm having the same problem.
I copy the xda2unlock program and run it with my ORANGE SIM installed. It says all is fine and tells me to switch flight mode on and off.
I do that then take out the battery and install my Vodafone SIM. The M1000 then starts up showing "MY Info". the signal meter shows an exclamation mark and when I tap the screen it asks me for my normal SIM PIN. I put this in and the next screen says "Service Provider is locked, Please input unlock code" and has a box and an ok button.
If I try any number, including my SIM unlock code, it comes up with a box saying "Invalid Unlock Code" and it says "You have tried -2147467258 times, please wait until timeout..."

I hope you can help me as I'd really like to get this voda SIM working in it.
Thanks in advance
---UPDATE---
P.S. - Just W4XY's post in another thread from this morning ....
W4XY said:
Actually this is not completely true. There are two versions for unlocking an XDA 2. Unfortunately named the same (xda2unlock.exe), but they can be found in two separate threads in this subforum. Read the first post carefully. The latest version is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6963
The newer version writes a lock 00000000 to the phone and then unlocks it. However, this process is still quite secure. I have had no report of a phone not working due to unlocking. All problems were in the end related to SIM cards not working (old or blocked) or the phone itself being blocked (insurance claim). One problem that still remains is that Orange phones do not seem to unlock (but the phone remains working normally). That is being worked on.

In the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6963 a new version of xda2unlock (version 2.2) has been posted that should perform better on Orange phones.
And thanks to me for posting the Orange M1000 ROM to you in the first place )))
Just joking, it works great guys, unlocked my M1000 in a few seconds.

X01HT from softbank
Hello guys,
I have same problem with the above topics, same with my HERME200 X01HT, I already have network unlocking code, but I can not enter the code, because it says.
"You have tried 35 times, please wait until time out" however, I've been waiting for 6days ago but still can not comes out. I still can not enter the code.
What would be the solution for this????
thanks for your sharings

Hi!
Well i'm new in this forum. Thanks to the ones who are viewing this.
This is what happened:
I brought 3 Siemens SX56 from the US. 2 locked to AT&T (windows 2002 installed), one locked to T-mobile (windows 2003 installed).
As the bootloader was originally 5.22 for the three of them, I did the typical unlock supplied by XDA DEVELOPERS (replacing the original flash with the XDADEV flash and running xdaunlock.exe)
That worked fine with both AT&T units which are already unlocked.
However the T-mobile one refuses to give me the unlock codes when i open xdaunlock.exe (error getting unlocked codes)
For what i've been reading, this is most likely because win2003 was installed in this one and i heard it's harder to unlock. But that's just what i heard.
Could anyone help me unlocking it?
I really appreciate!
Thanks!
Nicolas.
Ps: you can contact me to [email protected]
:x hi, thanks for xda unlocking software. i can't seem to unlock me xda II. i have the new XDA 2i.
Read:4, ooFF ( o meaning square)
Failed to do magic
search this forum for steps on downgrading ur rom to 2002 or even better is to just load the XDA-Developer rom onto it and it'll unlock it. then after that switch back to your original rom
remember to use xda tools to backup ur original rom on ur computer first!
Reply
Thanks a lot for your response
I already did that. I downloaded the roms from the at&t sx56 and loaded from sd card. The reason i did this is because the xda developers rom wouldn't let me run the upgrade with ppc2003 on it (a usb connection error was displayed)
I installed the 2002 ppc software and after that, i upgraded directly via ActiveSync.
Still i could not get the unlock codes (same error: error getting unlock code).
That's why i need help. Thanks!
interesting havent heard that one before.. have you tried downgrading to another t-mobile 2002 rom and then after that installed xdadev rom? or maybe downgrade the bootloader?
hi
i have same problem as nikoleman
i have a T-mobile pocket pc (i think it is WM2003 beta)
Pw10b1
rom version:4.00.16 ENG T-Mobile
with wallably 5.22 bootloader
i downgrade the bootloader to 5.15 and
the rom to 3.17.03 ENG cooked in kitchen
now infrared is not working and still get error getting unlock code
any help plz
yep
in fact that's the only way it would let me do it.
I backuped rom from the at&t ones and writed it to the t mobile. Then upgraded to XDA DEV special edition and it still throws me the "error getting unlock code" error.
Do you know why might this be?
Could someone please provide a link to the correct unlock software I should use.
Have
xda2s
PH20B
ROM = 1.40 WWE
1.12.00
Tried a couple but none working.
The bootloader did not work.....
The installed program gave missing zta....
Many thanks in advance[/b]
Which unlock software
Do I need to upgrade my memory first for the lastest software to work?
Any ideas please.
Silence?
Can I assume that the lack of responses means that I will not get a reply due to me asking a silly question somewhere?
I have run 1.6 and it said that it unlocked the phone but then gave an error message and says,
see xdadev all unlock.log for details.
This then gives lots of answers as 00 or 0000000.
Have I unlocked it. If so, what do I need to do now?
Thanks
last one?
I am receiving a signal from t mobile.
I am on Virgin mobile payg which is on the t mobile network.
It has picked up all my settings but not letting me make or receive any calls.
All signs are that I have unlcoked the phone and it is connected to
t mobile?
HEeeeeellllppppp
??
I have reset my phone and must have previously had it set to postpaid.
However, it will not let me select prepaid which i assume is pay as you go.
For some reason it will let me chose prepaid if i select germany and not the uk?
Can anyone explain or help?
Thanks
My excalibur is not original locked, i want to upgrade to wm6, but when i try to upgrade, i got a message error `[244].
Is not possible to upgrade if the phone is not a t-mobile dash?
Thanks
Run the installer again once you get that error message. Should be fine.
i think doesnt works, the same message error; invalid model....
thanks
Ahhh, invalid model ID! Sorry, I must have misunderstood... You need to download the bootloader upgrade first.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/smartphones/Excalibur/RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe
Run that and then try upgrading.
I don't know where that bootloader downgrade came from but whoever did it deserves a medal.
Allowed me to go from T-Mobile WM6 back to HTC s620. Without it, I'd have been screwed.
-Mc
same result
with spl-1.11 upgrade only same result, id error.... any solution?
Thanks a lot.
Hi,
as far as I know the only way is to unlock your phone with http://www.imei-check.co.uk

if this Update SPL 1.11 also doesn't work you'll have to unlock with IMEI-check and do this steps
but my pne is free
my phone is free, i have shop without any operator, original unlocked.
Thanks
it coud works with the modifid update with imeicheck?
I have modified these two parameters, but i have not unlock code because my htc-620 is original unlocked.
thanks in advance
The unlock which is necessary is to set the phone in "engineering mode" so that it accepts every ROM. This has nothing to do with SIM or net lock.
IMEI check sets your phone into that mode to remove SIM/net lock.
So it's a 2in1 unlock.
So even your phone accepts every SIM you have to unlock it to this engineering mode with IMEI-check. ATM there is no other known method to do this.
then, i need to send my imei to imeicheck to unlock in order to access to the engine mode?
Thanks!!
I have a second t-mobile dash, it used to be a brick. Someone messed it up.
Luckly found a way to manully put it in bootloader 3 color mode (holding the camera button for 3-4 seconds and hit the power button), then downloaded the latesest WM6 rom from T-Mobile 1.22.531.4. Flushed succefully, rebooted and the PC part of the phone now works perfectly.
Big problem is that it can not find the T-mobile phone network. That part just keep searching... No network. Testing by plugging in a cingular sim card. Prompt me for sim unlock code. So I guess the sim slot is at least working and it's reading the sim card. Used other perople's sim card, still not working(of course the sim card still work, plugging into my old samsung phone).
The radio version is now 4.1.13.34_02.79.90 . It's way different from my other dash...I am suspecting it to be the cause. WHAT RADIO VERSION HAVE YOU GUYS GOT?
Any idea how to fix it? try with changing the radio version may be?
Thanks
Can a few people just tell me what radio version are you on?
I was wondering, would a stolen phone be locked by the carrier so that the phone can't detect network?
This item is bought through ebay so i don't know what the previous guy was up to..
Thanks
Leo
Radio version change
Come on guys, anyone?
How about if anyone would like to point me to the right direction in how to change the radio version on the t mobile dash... is it a hardware thing or a software thing.
Thanks
Leo
there is a radio updtae in the ftp :
ftp://xda:[email protected]/smartphones/Excalibur
but i don't know if this upgrade is good or not
no, this radio upgrade is no good. do not even bother..
I suggest that you flash original T-Mobile firmware to this handset. Be that WM5 or WM6 and see how you go.
my Excalibur is HTC S620, radio version: 2.63
Firmware or ROM?
Thanks guys for your reply.
SecureGSM : Do you mean the ROM for the whole WM6 software (which I have already flushed.. twice). Or a firmware like a computer bios? If there is a firmware please point me to the right direction I'll definately want to put it in.
Thanks
Leo
Hi,
I was referring to the original WM5 T-Mobile ROM. You might have a better chance with it.
Radio version 4.1.13.34_02.79.90 is provided in the WM6 upgrade from T-mobile.
