Hiya, :roll: :roll:
I start off by sincerely apologising; this is another one of those already posted items but I just can't seem to resolve this problem.
I have read through many of the already existing posts within this forum and tried the remedies suggested, but still I am having no success with my below problem. Does anyone out there have a bedtime solution for my re-ocurring nightmare.
These are my Hardware specifications:
PC: Running Wins 2000 Pro
Device: PW10B1
Pocket PC: WM2003
ROM: 4.01.16ENG
ROM DATE: 02/04/04
Radio Version: 6.25.02
I have just recently purchased a (Wallaby) T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition from the USA for usage in the UK. I understand from reviewing this website that the model I have is GSM900/1900. I currently use a T-Mobile SIM here in the UK but I have since learnt that T-Mobile runs on GSM1800, therefore I have two options:
1.) Try and change the Band to 1800 in order to use the current T-Mobile SIM or
2.) Unlock this device in order to use an O2 SIM which runs on GSM900.
I have already obtained a NEW O2 SIM but when I put it in the device it says SIM Lock; Please input unlock code: SID:.
I have contacted T-Mobile first in order to see whether I can simply receive the unlock code; but unfortunately these Fat Cat; Blue Chip Companies do well on the Stock Market but don't do as well when it comes to resolving the little man's difficulties, such as this one.
Hence therefore; I have tried to follow the guide within: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UnlockWiz
But had no success, I then tried http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_Unlock2
Again to no sucsess; simply because I could not access DOS within my Wins 2000 Pro.
I do not know where to start and how to go about resolving this; I have already downloaded the following onto my Desktop on my PC:
ActiveSYNC version 4.71.1015.0
Bandswitch WCE version 1.0.0.1
XDAtools
XDA-developers-SER-v12
RSU_V6.24.20_PPC
XDAunlock version 1.0.0.1
If anyone out there can SEE what it is that I am doing wrong or it is blatantly obvious to what I should be doing, I would be most highly grateful for any suggestions and or remedies either; for fixing the unlocking issue or fixing the GSM band issue.
Thanking you kindly in advance.

Further update
Further update to my above problem :shock:
I can confirm that the device has 'Wallaby Bootloader 5.15' installed, so therefore I tried to carry on from the explanations found on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_Unlock2
I have since connected my device via the USB cradle and then tried to install the XDA Special Edition ROM v1.2 but everytime I try to execute within the C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe box, it has this error message:
"ERROR: GetConnetctionType-Unspecifiederror"
"error getting connectiontype"
then the 'Programme A v1.09' appears, it takes me through from Step 1 to Step 2 but then when I click next this message appears:
"Error011: EXECUTE REMOTE COMMUNICATION PROGRAMME cannot execute the remote communication program make sure the USB is connected"
The USB is connected at it is Synchronizing my device without any problems.
Can anyone help me from this stage please.
Thank you.

You have to downgrade your ROM via SD-Card....
Extract the XDA-Developers ROM EXE file with winzip or something similiar. Than you get a file NK.nbf (about 32 MB) This is the ROM
Than follow this:

I did not get the upgrade out of the PDA first, it is in bootloader mode.
By mistake, I picked up a XDA II upgrade instead of PDA III and clicked the sucker, only to get bummed completely. I guess it "deleted" the orig OS, or parts of it.
The BA is from o2, but private buy, no support expected from them.
The BA was in German, there is no "ID" for o2 given in the ID table.
I even tried T-kom's blackberry upgrade (German) gives same error as the 3 WWE SHIPS I tried, 120 "Country ID error"
Anyway to get the needed ROM info with the bootloader only ?
I would not mind the BA_5.1.1700_build_14343_Upgrade Engrish...
Somebody please help bring my new thang into life again
Hi Man,
Do not worry...Just upgrade the ext rom part of any ROM u have and it will be live again...then u can re-upgrade it completely
One problem I recognize I have: how to get DevData...
Thanks for the assuring words. But I have no idea what you mean with :"upgrade the ext rom part of any ROM u have and it will be live again."
I Assume the ext rom is a nbf file ?
I tried several of the ROM linked from this site (without modifiying them) no succes.
The nice guide made, explains how to get devdata on the PDA when working, but how to get that when bootloader mode is only option ? Or is that necessary? Are there ROM's that works anyway ??
The guide says:
"Device data reads:
PH20B 0 B GER R T-MOB101 1.12.00 0 0 1.12.100 1.02.00 02.00"
I do not have any of this info on my PDA Can it be retreived from the PC ?? (with a program)
I might also explain why I wanted to upgrade the ROM and didnt realize how "complicated" it can be. When trying to install a new appl. (Copilot) with a SD-card, the BA gave:
"setup-Fehler
Die datei "\storagecard\\2577\tts.cab ist keine gultige datei fur windows CE setup"
So, I thought the ROM version was ****ty not even knowing CAB files!
Any hints & help much appreciated
Rgds
Okeh..
Learned alot during the day on this site, it RAWKS!
I found the BA_TMUK_14200_112_11300_Ship (ENG)
& the MDAIII_TMDE_14201_116_11300_Ship (GER)
Using the "MaUpgradeUt_noID" I managed to get the GER running
Dropped the RADIO ROM of the GER to the ENG version and tried runnin the MaUpgradeUt_noID from that ROM. It worked!
The "standard" windows theme is NOT in the ENG pack, but in the GER one.
I then try run these Copilot cab files, still no luck ?!?
Tried some other CAB files snagged from the FTP, they worked...
I both tried the SD card install (autorun the cab) and from the install CD (to PC & device) both gives same error ? A little suspicious that none of the 2 install options work. Perhaps copilot is NOT compatible...
I have a spanish vodafone v1640 and i want to change the ROM by using UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe
I have followed the steps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45874 but all I achieve is that error (120 incorrect country ID).
The Rom is in english but the phone is spanish, should that be a problem? I already made a backup.
i have also same problem
Rom is english
Update is Dutch (UNI_DT_WWE_13077_176_10900_Ship.exe)
what can i do ?
Follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54071
hi quintus.. hmm maybe you can try to upgrade again when u get the error country id, sometimes you need to run 2 times of the upgrade so that i will be successful. just try out c if this works..
cheerss
Not sure if this applies but when doing the radio ROM upgrade I also got the country ID error. I just ran it immediately again without doing anything else. Worked fine. :lol:
Country ID Error Fixed
Hi guys this is my first post!!!
Country ID error....
i fixed my Vodafone V1640 today after a long and hard work
first download WM6.1 or 6.5 then get the original ROM for your
PPC in my was vf-uk_v1640_aku2_v130194_wwe_ship. extract
both to two separate folders (WIN RAR) copy the full content of
the subfolder “OutputFile” and paste in the WM6 folder, it will ask
if you will want to replace “nk.nbf” click yes. go to boot loader mode
and install…..
congratulations!!!
I'm running Vista and when I wanted to run the bootloader upgrade on my Dash I kept getting this message error. Error 260. anybody find any way around it? I've tried to manually set th ephone into bootloader mode, same result. help!! PS the error is supposed to mean "port already open" or "open port error" I'd really appreciate any help!
erro 260 - fixed
switches to my wife's laptop that had XP on and it worked like a charm. I'd be glad to assist anybody in the process od de-branding their Dash. Removing the ugly T-mobile paint logo on the unit was easy too.
ERROR 260
Sorry for thislong story....
OK, I've been on looking around the site for a while. I installed the WM6 Beta. I was looking for two days for the WM5 ROM only because I want the little things to work. Finally found it. But now every time I try to flash my phone ack to WM5 bI keep getting the 260 connection error. The readme only says to restart the comp and phone and try again. I have literally, no joke, done this 12 times in the last 2 hours, hoping maybe it will go. All the phone does is go to the green, blue, and red screen and stays there. Then the comp says it gets the error. I know it's connected because Sync Center syncs, I can look through the phone, install apps from my comp, etc. Also I tried doing the 'Update only' rom for version 1.11 or so, and it starts to go but then says its the wrong version RUU. Has anyone had this problem before? Flashing to WM6 did this once and then worked after.
I'm running Vista Premium, stock sync cable, Microsoft Sync Center for vista. All this is the sameas when I flashed to WM6.
There goes another 3 attempts, trying to change timing, reinstalling Sync Center, etc.
Decided to try it on my XP desktop, and for some reason, first time it worked. Maybe Vista didn't like it? Who knows..
Mladito Vista!!
Hi there,
I have the same little problem here!!!! I have a laptop with Vista (garbage)... so i´ll try on a laptop running XP...thank you for posting this, it was a big help..i let you know how it turns out... see you around
WM5 to WM6 --> Problems at 3%
Hi all,
I've errors upgrading my phone to WM6.
I Can open the Wizard (it`s a generic to S620/S621), but in 3% i`ve an error.
I think thats my phone has a blocked CID.
How can i unlock this? i`ve tryed with tools to unlock, but without success...
Regards,
Emerson
Hello,
Welcome to the forum.
Your problem is that your phone is CID-Locked. Hence, you'd need to use a paid service to unlock it. I personally used the following service which provides instant unlocking:
http://www.gsmliberty.net/shop/htc-excalibur-instant-remote-unlock-p-1452.html
I used a credit card, it's 39.99 $ - I was done unlocking and upgrading to Windows Mobile 6 in about 15-20 minutes.
Good Luck !
P.S:
Steps to install WM6
- First CID/SIM Unlock using GSM Liberty
- Flash Bootloader
- Install WM6 ROM (It will take some time for it to load so give it about 5-10 mins. it does get stuck at the boot screen for sometime but eventually it'll load)
- Install Office/Audio Manager
- Application Unlock your phone using SDA Application Unlocker
- Install the necessary software/tweak/hacks
there you go, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. also, if you use the search function, everything's available here.
Good Luck !
Here's the following links you require
1) Flash Bootloader
ftp://xda:[email protected]
2)here's the WM6 ROM:

here's office for those who want it:

here's Htc Audio Manager for those who want it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1183909664
Ps. I better like German flash, it's smaller due to fewer language packs, and contains English, here: http://files-upload.com/files/472422....90_Ship.exe
thanks to jsp_m for the links.
Hi,
I`ve problems because my IMEI is from Brazil...
And in the site accept only 15 digits IMEI..
My imei is: 35*************02 (17 Digits IMEI)
Thanks,
Emerson
hey,
that's not a problem. everyone has 17 digits, don't include the last 2 digits when you type in your IMEI so for example
11111111111111102
just include the first 15 and submit and you'll get an unlock link in your e-mail, follow that link, scroll down to the page to download dashunlock software and download the .UNL file for your IMEI and then make sure ur phone is connected to active sync and it's green, open the dash-unlock program and then hit enter then it'll ask for the .UNL file, locate it and open it and your good to go - your phone will be unlocked then soft reset it or i think it's automatic and everything's set.
good luck !
p.s: in other words, don't include 02 when you type in your IMEI.

Emerson;
Read the second post from luckybandit on this thread. That´s exactly what to do to get rid of the "invalid model" issue. Download the bootloader, flash the phone, flash the new ROM and be patient.
My excalibur is also from South America, and worked OK. If you have any doubt just let it know to this thread.
Boa sorte!
Hi,
I`ve problems with the link of Boot loader....
Anyone can send the full URL?
Thanks,
Regards,
Emerson
Hello,
I'm sorry about the links not working, here - i've attached the bootloader for you. here's what you do
1) Run bootloader (attached file)
2) Run the WM6 WWE ROM
3) Run SDA Application Unlock
4) Install Office/Microsoft Voice Command/HTC Audio Manager
5) Install Tweaks/Hacks
here's a site that has some applications and tweaks:
http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/DashApps.htm
and search this forum, there's tons of information, hacks - etc.
Good Luck !
oh by the way, did you unlock your phone properly?
1) Download unlock software
2) Download .UNL file specifically for your IMEI
3) Connect phone to computer and make sure the activesync's icon has turned green
4) Run unlock software
5) When unlock software asks for .UNL file, browse for it, choose it
6) That's it ! It should say Unlocking done and it'll reboot
Your phone is now Sim & Cid Unlocked. If you have more questions, feel free to ask. just do what i said first then post.
Good Luck ! Hope to see everything working for u...
