SX-56 AT&T service provider, Unlock question - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I have an SX-56 on ATT service that I want to unlock so a friend of mine can use it on T-mobile USA. I upgraded the Windows OS to 2003 summer 2004 when Siemens was offering it on thier website.
I called ATT (now cingular) and they said they will not provide me with the unlock code and to call Siemens for the code. I called tech support at Siemens and they say call carrier (ATT). go figure. They got me with the 2year contract and a sim card id, whats the big deal about giving me the unlock code........
Anyway, found this website and the xdatools. went to the wallaby prompts and when I get to the ROM version the one I have is not listed, so I follow the prompts to the unlisted one and that leads me to the special ROM edition. Okay, that all being said.......I read where it says that the 3.17 ROM is for the PPC2002 version. Does this mean that it will not work with the OS2003 that I have currently installed and if not how do I reload the original PPC2002 that came on the unit new. I am new to all this but am learning so please be merciful if I have mis-stated some things here.
Will I need the ATT sim card in the phone to do all this?
What is the best way to go about unlocking the phone.
the ROM version is: A.30.09 ENG ROM date 01/01/04
the Radio version is: A.33.02
Protocol version: 1.3.3
Any help is much appreciated.
I'm new enough to be dangerous........

No hope for unlock Siemens SX-56 AT&T?
Da** it, you and I are in the same boat with AT&T & Siemens flip-flop game!
My phone is exactly as yours, but I didn't upgrade to 2003. When I do the same way to attempt to get it unlock by XDAtools and pick the T-moblie ROM version like you did, I recieved the message:" the ROM image that you are trying to upgrade is not compatible to your pocket PC. Your device infomation: ROM A.30. Your Upgrade info.: ROM 3.17. Please download the compatible ultility and try agian" And I couldn't find our compatible unlock A.30 version anywhere, either! I also did try the special_rom_1.2 and XDAUnlock, but no darn better news!!!!!!!!! I got the same error message for special_rom_1.2 and got "error getting unlock code" for XDAUnlock.exe.
Pls note: I still have the AT&T SIM card installed in SIM slot.
Any Siemens SX-56 unlock "guru" please help us out.

HP Ipaq h6315 unlock tool

Hi,
I looking for tool to unlock HP ipaq 6315. Is locked in T-Mobile. T-mobile ROM 1.10.08 english.
I know that this software exist this is generating tool, you put IMEI and get UNLOCK code (8digits).
This unlock tool is working in all HP Ipaq series 63xx.
I try free unlock generating like Nokia Free but not working.
I also try to change ROM from tmobile to HP version and is NOT working still have simlock.
Also I downgraded to first ROM from HP and still not works.
It seems that this SIMLOCK is NOT in ROM and even NOT in the FIRMWARE of GSM because when I making upgrades/downgrades then always got new firmware of gsm but simlock still is.
Any help need.
Regards.
It is not software that generates a code. There is no correlation to IMEI and codes - I know as I have unlocked over 30 handsets and can find no pattern. There is a big list of codes / imei's that some people have free access to.
You need to pay $25, get a code, and use the existing t-mobile USA sim to enter the code. Please do a search for more info - I have explained this many times.
Richard
Thanks.
YES, You are RIGHT. Now I see, someone ho is getting these unlock codes said that he is getting them from access database.
You said that this service is free.
Do you know from were I can find this ?
I can even pay for INFO.
Regards.

Motorola Q9h (rom update)

I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this, but this seem like the logical one.
I recently purchased a Motorola Q9h from Ebay and did not understand the different networks that are out there. So while the phone works on the Cingular network it only has Edge because to have 3G it has to be UTMS 1900 and the phone I have is set at UTMS 2100 which is a European network, so everytime I restart the phone it says that it cannot find a suitable network to connect to.
My question is, does anyone know if there is a possibility to do a ROM update to change the network portion. I am guessing no, because I am sure it is hardware based but I thought I would ask.
I should have just waited for the new phone to come out but I am like many others I am sure that we are impatient =P
If you can answer the question or have some suggestions please feel free to let me know =)
thanks,
Brad

answer one
Q9h_OnlyBP_MODEM4_U_40.11.40R_12
flash this BP(radio) file to you handset may help u
because most of q9h work in 1900(for ex att’s q9h
Europe network basic is in 2100
if it doesn't work
there is a selection in setting menu,which can change the handset's wave band from 1900 to 2100
How did you upgrade the Q 9h to WM 6.5, I am on AT&T. Is there anyway to get 6.5 for my phone?
Hello,
I have recently got a ATT Q9H Global and have flashed it to the ROM here
SHIP_NORMAN_AP_U_01_10_05R_MODEM4_U_40_11_40R_12_U SNORMAN25RTDER2W611A002_1FF-Enterprise-German_3801569218
Everything is working we'll, except the keyboard fix (Z/Y Interchanged). I'd like advise on two things;
1. How do I get 3G working. I am in Tanzania where the GSM signals are 900/1800.
2. Also - What do I need to do to get 6.5 - just flash, or downgrade to stock, then flash. If I flash with a 6.5 ROM - can you direct me to an APP unlocked, SIM/Network unlocked, Unbranded 6.5 that has GPS/3G?

podop 838 pro - can not access internet via 3G sim card

Thank you in advance for any help and assistance you can provide.
I have a podop 838 pro (which is the att 8525, HTC 100, HERM 100, etc.) which is unlocked. The phone was purchased in singapore and I am using it in greece with an USA ATT 3G Sim Card and a Greek Vodafone 3G Sim Card.
I have upgraded to WM6.0, ROM 3.54, Radio 1.47.00.10 etc.
When I turn the phone on with ATT sim card I get the message 'Your current operator is not supported. You should obtain an update from your vendor.' Then it prompts me 'Would you like to select another network provider' but when click yes it only give me choices like Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines, Australia etc. (asian countries only).
When I insert the Vodafone 3G sim card I don't get the message but I still can't access internet via 3g.
Long story short does anyone know where I can get an ATT or Vodafone ROM or software update that will allow me to access 3G service via my podop 838 pro.
All the links I have found online are outdated and no longer exist.
When I try to download the update from HTC.com directly it ask for my serial number and then tells me the update is not for my phone.
PLEASE HELP - Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you could provide valid links for the ROM updates for ATT or Vodafone service providers I would be in your debt and in a generous mood.
That being said, Please advise what donation amount would be necessary to solve this problem once for all.
THANK YOU!!!

Can I still be able to get my TP2 unlocked after I up ROM to WinMo 6.5?

Hi everyone,
I just got my HTC Touch Pro 2 from US Tmobile and I want to upgrade it to Window Mobile 6.5. I just wonder if I still be able to ask T-mobile Custumer Service to get unlock code later because I've planned to travel to Asia during summer. I read that we need to be in service at least 3 months to be able to get phone unlocked so I can't unlock it know. Does anybody know if upgrading ROM (official rom from T-Mo, cooked room or ship rom from HTC) effects unlocking procedure?
Thank you
I have a Tmobile TouchPro 2, had Tmobile official ROM 6.1 when I requested the sim unlock code, and used it. Upgraded to the new Tmobile 6.5 ROM and the phone is still sim unlocked. Doesn't hurt to ask them for the unlock code now. From what I gather, quite a few people, myself included, get the unlock code rather easily from Tmobile just by asking. Provide your IMEI number and they'll get back to you within 10 days I think.
i have buyed a US touch pro2 with unlock code to get all operators...
i have installed Hardspl and then a cocked Room , it seems to works perfect
The delay before unlocking is related to "loyalty" or something similar like that, nothing techinical. So, putting a T-Mo-supplied upgrade on your phone should have no effect at all on when you can get it SIM-unlocked.
