Flashing the Pro to something else - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Using the tools for the Wizard (latest aWizard and Lokowiz) I tried to enable the Rapi and to unlock the CID / Super-CID.
It looks like it worked just fine, but when trying to flash with the latest Qtek 9000 ROM, I still get "Country ID error".
Do I need some other tools for Rapi and CID purposes?
Or is it possible to use a Qtek 9100 NBA ROM for overwriting the MDA Pro?
I've also heard that there's no solution in unlocking the MDA Pro yet.
Is this still true?

Upgraded to 4.01.16 & 6.25.02 and still SIM LOCKED!!!!

I upgraded from 2002 AT&T Siemens SX56, with 6.12. I did the rom first, and it was still locked, which I thought was impossible, so went ahead with the radio upgrade and that went successfully as well, but still SIM locked! One thing that is strange is that everytime I turn it on from any state, an error warning comes up that says: "This program only works with Windows Mobile 2003 (4.20.1081)" It did that after the ROM upgrade and after the radio upgrade as well.
Help, everything works except the phone!!!
Thanks in advance..........

Thanks for the reply!!
I am running 2003 now (4.01.16) so the unlock tool will not work according to the instructions. I downloaded the xda-developers rom, but it will not allow me to use xdatools for an SD card boot. Only activesync. When I go ahead with the active sync method it tells me:
ERROR: GetConnectionType -n An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
error getting connectiontype
Where can I go from here?
Ok, so cooked a new 2002 rom in the kitchen, installed it via SD card, and it was successful. I then went and installed the xda-developers 2002 rom that is supposed to remove simlock. It didn't. I went into the windows directory on the PPC and launced the xdaunlock right there. It then gives me an error:
XDA Unlock
error getting unlock code
I have now exhausted all options that I am aware of that exists.
Any advice?
Please?
Thanks-
Hey I did what most people said not to do and that was downgrade my radio stack, and use a cooked rom from 02 and then the xdaunlock worked fine! Then I went back and re upgraded and everything works still
The XDAunlock tool works with PPC2002 ROMs that have wmodem.exe applications, and proven not to work with certain RSUs ... so, you are left with the single option of changing the RSU ... I know it's risky to play with RSU, so you better assess your need to unlock.

How / where do I find this tool to unlock ? That would be ideal since I would like to avoid changing the RSU.
Or which RSU should I use for the current xdaunlock to work?
This thing is locked to AT&T and I need to use it on T-Mobile.

SX56: Unlocked 2 from AT&T. 1 from T-mobile won't let me

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]

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?

WM6 on Qtek (htc) S200

Hello everybody.
I am trying to update my phone, with WM6.0, however I am getting a country id error. The version I got for testing reasons is WWE. My IMEI is 35703600732450***
Could anyone help me, how am I suppose to achieve that?
there are flashtools with noID.exe in the end which dont
fail on country id errors
try looking for your device at buzzdev.net
Thanx Rudegar
However, I have an unlocked device. I unlocked it throud imei-chek.co.uk paid service. Will this help, or I still have to use a noID.exe?
If you have your device unlocked than that error shouldnt occur. However if you still get it then its inevitable i'd say to use the noID RUU.
my himalaya was never sim locked
but if i try to flash it using HimaUpgradeUt.exe i get
that error
when i flash it using HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
i dont
the noID at least in my case have to do with operator settings
not simlocks and the likes
if the rom dont know the operator code it will give that error
Ok, thanx. I got the files from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1361468#post1361468 and everything worked fine (except that Thai keyboard...)

How to check simlock/netlock

I have just bought an MDA Compact III (Artemis) with WM5 sold as unlocked. If I can use any SIM card and all nets, can I assume that it is superCID and proceed with WM6 flashing from microSD with any WM6 rom find in this forum?
No if i'm not mistaked simUnlocked and CID unlocked are different.
I had a CIDunlocked device but still needed to use the USLP method to flash my new ROM.
Read the sticky first post and download the required tools form here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
Cheers
Thanks for your quick reply. The PDA should be simunlocked and also netunlocked. CID unlocked is not the same as netunlocked?
Nope, it is not. NetLock is T-Mobile's very own name for SIMLock... All their devices come with NetLock now, which means they do not accept SIM cards other than T-Mobile. So if you have a net unlocked device, you can use it with any carrier, but it still may be CID Locked.
Thanks for your help. The PDA works with all SIM cards and al nets.
I will use the USLP method anyway.
hi mate! did you manage to flash your compact III with WM6? i want to upgrade mine as well but not sure what to do?

I've flashed my MDA Compact III successfully. (I've unlocked it previously through IMEIcheck.co.uk)
If your's is unlocked (Netlock, Simlock) than you should be able to flash it right away with 4.1. For the other ROMs I'm not shure, you should maybe run USPL first..
I also flashed my MDA Compact III With German O2 WM 6 ROM, but i also had it unlocked via Imei-check.co.uk, both CID and NETLock were Removed... Again, your Device might be free for any SIM Card, than it is NETunlocked but could still be CID Locked. So i would recommend you to run USPL first, before trying to install any ROM
