Hi All
I have tried using everything on this forum and more, I have tried every tip and hint including upgrading rom pack but just cannot get it to unlock. Every time I put in the new sim card (Tesco Mobile pay as you go) It says I have tried unlocking it 7 times please wait for retry. Of course I never do get a chance to retry
Any help would be apreciated
Many thanks Gary
What you using to unlock it? I have the m600 G4 version and i used the lokiwiz tool.

Hi All,
Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
I bought an XDA IIs on the UK O2 network a few days ago.
I am trying to unlock it so that I can use it in India with an Airtel SIM, for both normal tel calls and GPRS data needs.
I bought an unlocking package, but unfortunately the company's support is not available.
It suggested that I first put it into bootloader mode, before installing some software. I followed the instruction of pressing on/off + action button + reset, but it did not go into the bootloader mode. Any ideas?
I then tried to install the XDA II unlock software, but that falled too.
Can anyone help me?
Have you tried asking O2 for an unlock code, they gave me one for my XDA when I had one.
Let us know how you get on as I might need to unlock my IIs at some point
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.

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!

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?
I have used the unlocking program available here to unlock my Spv M2000 on Orange. It said it was successful then asked for unlock code which i entered as 00000000. It then asks for the service provider unlock code, i have tried the following to no avail: "00000000" "0000" "1111" and leaving the space blank. Can any one help?
I have the exact same problem.
Please help
Exactly same problem here on M2000 on Orange UK.
They've sent it to technical who are no help, am I best to just upload the ROM files to one of these services and just pay for it to be unlocked?????/
Please advise ASAP as I urgently need the PDA!
I don't think a rom update will reset the lock code
Sorted it .... v1.6 of the xda unlock software solves this problem.
I got the same problem on orange m2000. I have tried v1.6 as well but it was still not working. any helps? Cheers!
I did run it three or four times and it said it had failed - but hadn't - when I put the SIM back in it was fine.
Did u mean u have done the unlock without put in a sim card?
Yes,
It had locked itself, so I took the SIM card out so I could get into the file manager and use it just as a pda....
loaded v1.6 across using ActiveSync and ran it 3 times.
Job done!
Thanks mavk,
That way works great. Just got my job done a few minutes ago. Cheers man!
No worries
Hi everyone,
i am new to Hermes site, i used to have wizard and knew how to unlock or flush any rom to that phone.
Tomorrow i am getting cingular 8525 which i am planning to use in T-mobile here in US. the phone I am getting is going to be refurbished phone. At&T is replacing the phone purchased back in February of this year.
I know I have to unlock it before I use it with t-mobile. I have read two ways of unlocking it one way is using HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a.zip file but at the same time I read about this way "SIM-Unlock SoftBank X01ht post April (white versions) with radio 1.14.01.10".
since the phone will be refurbished phone, should I treat it as new out of bax when unlocking it? which way should I chose to unlock?
I only have T-mobile sim card, do you think i will need at&t sim card to unlock this phone?
after the unlock I am planning to upgrade it to wm6 and I saw many good roms here: Official HTC rom, Black Magic, Black Satin...which one of these would you guys recommend me to use?
Thank you in advance.

so many views no reply?
can any one give suggestions?
Use the HTC Hermes SIM_CID_Unlock v3a. Worked like a charm for me. It will CID and SIM unlock so you can install whatever rom and use whatever carrier you wanted. You don't need an ATT sim to unlock it either...just follow the step by step instructions that come with the unlocker.
I used the Hacked Radio Version way to unlock mine
worked exactly as it said
and then i SuperCID mine...or you could just use OliPRO
Hello,
Is there any software around to SIM and CID unlock this amazing phone?
thanks,
Joao Oliveira!!
Hi Joao
I'm expecting my i780 to arrive end of this week and am also looking for a SIM unlock- unfortunately it doesn't seem like there is one around - even finding a website where you pay to unlock is difficult!
However, someone on Modaco unlocked his Orange i780 using a pay website:
http://www.modaco.com/content-page/264705/I780-Locked-GPS/page/40/
Alternatively, perhaps flashing the ROM will work? Must admit that I'm not going to try this method yet as posted on the thread....
How much is your network charging for the unlock?

Hello,
Thank for you response.
Any news on unlocking this device? have you tried flashing a new rom? did it work? to be honest i am very scared of flashing a new rom on a locked device, i dont want to brick it.
My network charges me 130euros for unlocking the device. Not too much since i paid very little for it but still ...
Thanks.
Joao Oliveira.
Hi - yes in the end I paid £19 to get it sim unlocked on the day that I got the phone as at the time there was only a test pda rom I think.
Anyway, my sim worked fine once I unlocked the phone but I couldn't get the GPS to work. I think the italian splitted radio rom was available after that so I tried flashing that - it didn't help the GPS, and in the end I had to flash the pda as well (the MSHC3 rom).
Now everything is working thanks to the guys here.
EUR130 is a lot of money to pay to get your phone unlocked....
