T mobile MDA Compact II unlock please!!!

Hi All!!
Would really appreciate some advice on how i go about unlocking my T-mobile MDA Compact II. Just had it back from repair, having purchased unlocked (also supplied unlocking files). Not sure if maybe software more up to date but software doesn't work now, neither does the link you have all kindly posted above! When running 'lokiwiz' batch file, lists error - transfer error.
My info is:
Rom Version 2.6.2.27WWE
Rom Date 3/9/06
Radio version 02.19.21
Protocol version 4.1.13.19
Extrom version 2.6.2.110
Please, please can anyone help me as without a phone!!! Thanks so much for your help.
Regards.
Rosco.

Have you tried the whole process according to the instruction? I dont know that which Lokiwiz you are trying but my sister have bought the pink MDA compact II from t-mobile in october and I have successfully unlocked my device.
Try this one but please go point to point.
Sidd

Cheers Sidd!!!
Hey thanks so much Sidd!!!
After days of trying so many different files and methds of trying to get the dam thing working, finally the zip file you listed worked like a treat!!!
Can't thank you enough mate!! If you were close enough i'd buy you a drink or five!!!!
Hopefully this will help others to with the same problem!
Thanks again!!
Regards.
Rosco.

My pleasure, enjoy

perfect thx m8.

Unlock T-Mobile MDA Compact II
I am looking at the notepad file Lokiwiz03 and it says
"2 - Copy EnableRapi.cab to your Wizard"
Which wizard and where do I find it? (Sorry if I sound thick but have never done this before)
Thanks!

I am out of my computer, hopefully I will reply on this problem tomorrow.

bill Copy EnableRapi.cab to your mda compact 2
then klick on it then start the bat file on your pc
after getting a dos windows on your pc
look for a code between the lines
copy the code and use it to unlock it
that is what i did to unlock my t-mobile mda compact 2

Hello Sidd,
I did download the ZIP folder, But I can't unziped...
and and getting following massage "File skipped unknown Compression method"
Please help me out....
Thanks

I did have Zipped this file on WinZip 10, download the attached file, now I have zipped it on a normal compression
GoodLuck
Sidd

not working
i tried this so many times. every time i tapped on the enablerapi.cab file, my mda compact just removes it. what am i doing wrong?

Obviously it is gonna dissappear after the installation. Please follow the steps 1 by 1.
Suggestion 01
1 - Connect your device with ur PC and make sure activeSync recognise it.
2 - Unzip lokiwiz.zip to somewhere in your computer
3 - Copy EnableRapi.cab to your Wizard
4 - Execute the EnableRapi.cab in your phone. Wait for it to finish
5 - Execute lokiwiz.bat and follow the instructions on your screen...
Suggestion 02
For those of you having problems with lockiwiz 3a not unlocking your phone, well i was having the same problem, but not for long because i discoverd what i was doing wrong.
when you download lokiwiz 3a you have 2 things, lockiwiz and a folder called utils, now in the folder utils you will find a file called enablerapi its about 70kb in size, copy this to your MDA vario in the my documents folder, once there run it by tapping on it in my documents on your MDA saying Ok to everything, once youve done that, then and only then try running the lockiwiz application on your main pc making sure your connected via ActiveSync and look for the SIM unlock code in the black command promt box and jot this number down, then put SIM card in thats different from the one you use and switch on, when asked for the unlock code just type in the number you have written down earlier.
GoodLuck
Sidd

hi sidd,
it did not work on my mda compact. i tried both suggestions 1 and 2. but i didn't get any unlock code when i ran lokiwiz. i will give it another try one of these days. maybe i need to remove my tmobile simcard first? anyway.... thanks a lot. and happy new year.

Well I have downloaded the whole solution from this same forum and applied on my sister's Mda and it did work.
Happy New Year to you all as well
Sidd

Copy and paste the output from the unlocking program here. Anyway, if it doesn't give you a code, probably your phone is already unlocked.

Thanks Sid

QTek s110 is a Magician and NOT a Charmer. Try the Magician section and wiki. You are lucky that you are not flashing your phone or else you may have got yourself an expensive brick.

This works a treat
Thanks loads for this walkthrough m8 its flawless. Great work m8.

It works with IPL 3.x!
After many tries and misses... I tryed everything but can't unlock my charmer with IPL 3.x... BUT THIS METHOD WORKS PERFECTLY !!!!!! In 5 minutes charmer was unlocked! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Error 270 fix

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:
http://files-upload.com/files/472108....90_Ship.ex e
here's office for those who want it:
http://rapidshare.com/files/31706137/Office.WM6.zip
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...

The following should solve your problem.
Good luck !
A) flashing ANY new ROM as CROSS-MODEL-ID update
B) Fix the "Data crashes"
In case you have problems please indicate the step letter/number which is not clear / not working for you.
Just do EVERYTHING EXCAT STEP BY STEP and everything will work.
---------
A)
Please do it EXACT step by step like described now and it will work (it is ESSENTIAL that you do it EXACT STEP BY STEP)
0) turn off antivirus/firewall/everything else running in background
1) start phone in windows, connect active sync (green circle in system tray of your pc)
2) start the unlocker (phone screen will turn white, active sync will disconnect, THIS IS NORMAL)
3) when asked for KEY-FILE or COMM ERROR#1 comes up WAIT 2 MINUTES (DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING)
4) DO NOT TOUCH PHONE AT ALL for ALL the next steps!!!
5) remove USB cable
6) close the unlocker on PC
7) reconnect USB cable
8) unpack the "RUU_Excalibur_TMO_US_1.20.531.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Test.exe"
(right click on the .exe and select "Winzip->Unzip to folder..."
9) in the extracted folder you will find a file called like "RUU_signed.nbh" (.NBH), open it with HEX EDITOR (e.g. HexWorkshop) and locate the string like "EXCA20000" near the beginning of the file. Change it to "EXCA****" (all without the quotes, overwrite the DIGITS with STARS)
10) in the extracted folder you will find a file called like "RUU_Update.exe", open it with HEX EDITOR and SEARCH the string "BsaD5SeoA" and OVERWRITE it with "IMEICHECK" (all without the quotes)
11) start the just edited RUU_Update.exe now and make the ROM update (screen of phone will stay white ALL THE TIME, THIS IS NORMAL)
12) wait till update is complete and phone will start with the new ROM
13) To fix the "Data Crashes" problem just make a COMPLETE run of the unlocker (see B) ) and you are done.
---------
B) To fix the "Data crashes" you only have to make a COMPLETE run of the unlocker.
Please do it EXACT step by step like described now and it will work (it is ESSENTIAL that you do it EXACT STEP BY STEP)
0) turn off antivirus/firewall/everything else running in background
1) start phone in windows, connect active sync (green circle in system tray of your pc)
2) start the unlocker (phone screen will turn white, active sync will disconnect, THIS IS NORMAL)
3) when you get COMM ERROR #1 WAIT 2 MINUTES (DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING)
4) DO NOT TOUCH PHONE AT ALL for ALL the next steps!!!
5) remove USB cable
6) close the unlocker on PC
7) reconnect USB cable
8) start unlocker again and now it will complete the unlock
9) at next start the "Data Crashes" will be away.

wich unlocker did you use???
I believe you use IMEICHECK unlocker, but it cost 40 bucks. I dont need unlock I need fix the Data Crashes and enter the unlock code that i already have.
Thanks anywayyy

Regarding the App Unlocking, I ran into the same problem. In my case, I could not complete the registry edits that were required to app unlock the phone.
I used the following app, unzip it, copy it into the main memory on your phone and run it via File Explorer on your phone.
Then edit the following registry keys:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 1
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40

not there yet, it's upgrading at the moment (at the last and longest stage). I had mine unlocked via the MFG tool. I reset the two registry keys PortalUrlInt and PortalUrlProd back to the https links
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.windowsphone.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
"PortalUrlInt"="https://developerservices.windowsphone-int.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
(thanks to drkfngthdragnlrd)
and set the DeveloperUnlockState to 1. While still in the MFG tool I started the MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate tool.
It would not work initially. Closed the tool, started the new beta Zune software and it relocked the phone. Closed Zune, disconnected phone and went back into the MFG app and unlocked it. Connected phone to PC again, restarted the tool and it started the backup and installation process.

The first thing I did was to download and install the Windows Phone Developer Tools. Once downloaded I started it up and then just exited.
Then I went and changed these settings using the MFG app. Make sure they are typed in correctly!!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
PortalUrlProd = https://developerservices.windowsphone.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010
PortalUrlInt = https://developerservices.windowsphone-int.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010
I then tried to run the MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.exe but it gave me an error that it could not find UpdateWP.exe. I renamed the Setup-UpdateWP-x64.exe to UpdateWP.exe but got the same error.
So I just installed the new Test Zune and tried to look for an update there and it didn't find any so I quit Zune and tried to run MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.exe, this time it work but said my phone was lock so I loaded up MFG, changed the developerunlockstate back to 1, tried again and it work!!
I'm currently on step 7 of 9 in the last update on Zune ISV beta (7661)
EDIT: I haven't had to edit the settings to keep the phone from re-locking, you should only need to do that after you have Mango fully installed.
Make sure you have this set correctly!!!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
PortalUrlProd = https://developerservices.windowsphone.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010
PortalUrlInt = https://developerservices.windowsphone-int.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010

IT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORKED!!
Thank's A LOT MAN YOU ROCK!

Just finished the whole update and I can confirm that the MFG app still works in the Mango build

I think you should change the title of this thread to LG Keep Unlock Mango Beta or something because only you guys have the MFG tool

It works, thanks for tips guys, best internet forum ever.
For dummys ( like me )
First write in mfg this
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
PortalUrlProd = https://developerservices.windowspho...on.svc/01/2010
PortalUrlInt = https://developerservices.windowspho...on.svc/01/2010
Then run zune, run devupdater
it will close zune, then it will tell u blablabla its locked
NOT THIS ( "Checking if your phone is dev unlocked...
Failed. Please try the following
1) Connect the phone
2) Launch Zune software and wait for it to connect to the device
3) Close Zune software
4) Restart the tool. ") but the other info
Then u have to stay connected to pc, and with still running mfg ulockstate = 1 and run updater again, the rest of it is just next, next, next

Somebody made a nice tool that provisions for you, without having to be a developer (or dev unlocked):

Idk if it works, but sounds promising.

Tried it and it worked for me! Run it, then open Zune and, voila, it asks you to install Mango!

Sorry to be a pain but can you dumb it down even more? So are we typing PortalUrlProd = etc in the Input SUB_PATH ?

I am running into an issue where I get an error when installing Setup-UpdateWP-x64, in that it says I need to install Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1.
Is this a common occurence for others? It's a pretty big download and I am on crappy work network, so it will take some time. I can do a custom install though, and shave off unneeded components, so if someone could advise me on that it would be great!

This method supposedly shaves off the need for VS and all that garbage:
http://bit.ly/lOvrjo
Otherwise, remember, this is for developers.. hence the fact it wants VS installed.
