t-mobile RSU 6.25 SIM unlock prolbem, final solution. XDA I
Error getting connection type
Error getting unlocking code
Upgrade RSU (Radio Stack)
RSU 6.25, RSU 6.24
Those are the keywords I have been using for about a day to get to the bottom of unlocking a t-mobile XDA I (siemens SX56).
I have started with being unable to flash the device with Special Edition ROM, then XDAUnlock unable to unlock the device etc..
Thanks to http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/tools/ , they guy did a great job showing in details how to evenutally unlock this wild device with RSU 6.25. So look no futher, this is the holy grail! :idea:
I'm quoting from Lumpistefan website:
How to unlock your Device ....
The PDA side of the ppcpe and the radio/phone/gsm side are two totally different animals (not a surprise to some). When you refer to the 'operating system' you're talking about the ROM like the XDA Developers special edition or any of the ROMs from the ROM kitchen at http://lumpistefans.dyndns.org/. The Radio or RSU (for Radio Stack UPgrade) is totally separate from this. The other variable is the bootloader version (Wallaby in my case).
Now my goal was just to use the XDAunlock program. When I ran the program right from the defaults I got 'error getting unlock code.' All the posts I read said put on the Special Edition ROM and you'll be fine but that did not do the trick. Still got the same error message.
Here's what I started out with:
ROM: 4.01.16 ENG
Radio: 6.25.02
Wallaby booatloader: 5.22
What finally worked:
Radio: 6.24.00
ROM: 3.17.03 ENG (XDA special edition)
then upgraded back to 4.01.16 ENG
Wallaby boot loader 5.15
How I did it
--------------
I meandered my way through this to eventual success and since the dratted device now works fine I'm leery about putting it all back to the old way and doing it all over again. Therefore use this process as a guide only, not a definitive instruction set. Also I walked through this as a troubleshooting exercise so some steps may not have been necessary. I eventually succeeded but maybe went the long way around to do it.
References
----------
- Bootloader utilities: Get to this by holding down the power button and pressing soft reset. You may have to hit the contacts button to get into the menu if you don't see it right away (like if you see a simple GSM OK message at the bottom of the bootloader display.
- Cold boot: the reset swtich on the right side bottom of the device with a picture of a red battery with an \ through it. This disconnects the batter from the mainboard and trashes all the data on the device except the Operating System in ROM.
What I grabbed
------------------
- XDAtools
- XDArit
- ActiveSync (I used 3.7.1) and connection by USB cable
- Wallaby bootlolader version 5.15 files
- XDA Developers Special Edition ROM
- RSU 6.24.00 files
- XDAUnlock.exe
- SD Card (mine is 128 MB but I think as long as it's bigger than 64MB or your current memory in the device you're OK)
- pnewbootflash_40116.exe
All of these files are available here, just search for them.
First back up everything. Not just using the sda backup tool, from the boot loader. You can do the SD backup if you want, consider it backing up your data. You can also do the ActiveSync backup if you want to save your data.
Second I'm doing ALL of this with no SIM chip in the device. This may or may not be necessary.
Stick your SD card into the PDA. If it complains about wanting to format it go ahead and let it format the card unless you have stuff on it you want. I'd recommend dropping anything you want from the card onto safe media and just working with it as a blank the rest of the way through because it's easier to just wipe the card in between some steps.
Go to the bootloader utilities. Hit Contacts button and you'll get the boot loader option stuff. If the bootloader utilities you get to right away takes you to a menu with things like Boot+CE-->SD then you don't have to worry about hitting the contacts button. You only need Contacts button if when you get to the bootloader screen you see nothing more than some nice colors, the bootloader version and "GSM OK" message.
Take the Boot+CE-->SD option to back everything up. This will take a few minutes.
Once it's done pull the SD out ofthe ppcpe and stick it into your SD card reader. Bring up XDArit and chose your removeable device.
If you have more than one MMC slot select the different ones until you get one that says 'Wallaby' in the hex codes at the bottom of the XDArit screen. You'll be writing out two files, the first is the NB0 file (which is the bootloader) and the second is the NB1 file (which is the OS or ROM). Name these something like original.nb0 and 1.
Wipe the SD card (format FAT). Stick the SD card back into the pda and soft reset, then cradle it.
Go to a DOS prompt and CD to where you put 'pnewbootflash_40116.exe.' Type 'pnewbootflash_40116 nbl515.nb0' to write the Wallaby 5.15 boot loader to the device. If when you downloaded the 5.15 bootloader you called it something else (like 'wallaby_boot_loader_V5.15.nb0' you should of course use that name instead!
The output looks like this:
D:\XDAtools\binaries>pnewbootloader_40116 bl515.nb0
Copying D:\XDAtools\binaries\itsutils.dll to WCE:\windows\itsutils.dll
in FindFlashInfoOffset
protection found at 8c0d60f8
result: 00000000 00000000
Now..why did I downgrade the bootloader? At this stage I'm troubleshooting why I get the 'error getting unlock code' message running XDAunlock. I've got three variables I know of, bootloader, ROM and Radio Stack. I chose to start with the bootloader because some posts out there say boot loaders 5.17 and higher have some checksum that keeps certain ROMS from working properly. Perhaps if I'd started with the radio stack I'd have been done right away and saved a few hours but all the posts about possible device destruction made me start with the bootloader! Again, your results may vary!
Next I changed the ROM to the XDA Developers special edtion.
Make sure the SD card is in the PDA and cradle it. Run OSIMagetool and load the ROM file in the first box, chose SD Card in the second box.
If you downloaded the Special Edition ROM you might have some luck using the Installer that comes with it but apparently that does not work with ActiveSync 3.7.1. I got messages that said it could not access the device or no connection etc. Instead I used OSImageTool to load the NK.NBF file included in the distribution. Note that to get to this file you DO have to unzip the EXE file you download!
Once complete pull the pda out of the cradle.
Hold power+soft reset to get the boot loader menu. This should show up as 5.15 now. It will automatically detect that the SD card contains a ROM that can be flashed to the device. If for some reason it does not automatically detect this maybe you have to hit Contacts. I did not have to do that, it just told me to hit Action to download the ROM.
Hit Action button (aka the jog button) to write it to the device. This will take a few minutes, go grab a beer or two or three. I took the safe route and connected power to the device while writing the flash.
Once it's finished cold boot the device. I waited 2-3 minutes before re-engaging the battery.
Here's a gotcha. On the right side of the SIM there is a little switch. If the rubber door for the SIM is not totally closed you can't get the device to boot. This switch is real small so it's very possible to miss it. You can see it fine if you take the back off the device (which I determined from a post here that told you how to get the battery out).
When it boots you should have the 5.15 Wallaby booting the XDA special edition. Follow the instructions to calibrate the screen and you're ready to move on.
Now if the radio is 6.25.02 XDAunlock won't work, it just generates the 'error getting unlock code' message. You have to downgrade the radio to have this work.
There's lots of posts around here that say don't screw with the radio because if it errors you've got a fried device. I imagine this is true so balance how bad you want to unlock the device against the possibility of totally frying the device. I've done two radio upgrades in my life on the PPCPE, both were OK but again, caution is advised.
Grab the 6.24 radio zip and unzip into a folder on your computer. Use ActiveSync to copy the files to \windows on the device.
Execute the rsupdate.exe program to reprogram the radio to 6.24. WHen completed soft reset the device and go into start-settings-system-device info to make sure you're at 6.24 radio vesion.
Copy the xdaunlock.exe to the device and execute. It should say 'you're device appears to be SIM Locked, would you like to remedy this?" click Yes to unlock the device.
Now the device is unlocked. You can change the ROM to WM2003 now if you want (which I did). I imagine you can re-upgrade your bootloader and radio stack if you want but I'm leaving well enough alone for now!
End

Update a ROM file. Step by Step.

These steps SHOULD unbrick/flash a ROM onto an XDA Orbit. (Only tested on a UK O2 Orbit as this is the only hardware I have)
Step by step:- (works for me. No promises. So far only on a Windows XP machine)
1. Hard reset phone (press and hold two buttons with white lines next to red and green button while pressing reset with stylus. When text appears on screen, release all buttons, read text and if OK press "send" key. This means the GREEN call key. Screen will show FAT formatted etc.)
2. When phone starts to boot back up press and hold TOP LEFT button (speech dial) while pressing reset to enter bootloader mode (screen changes to 3 colour, red green and blue bands.
3. With PC running (XP only for now) connect USB cable to phone. Windows will conect to phone but Activesync will not show as phone is not running Windows at this point (Bootloader only remember!)
4. Run the ORIGINAL ROM file for your handset. If German phone run GERMAN ROM, if UK phone run UK ROM. This should restore the handset back to its factory settings with WM5 running.
5. If you want to upgrade to WM6 I suggest you unlock phone using imei-check first. Easier to fix later on if something goes wrong. Costs about £28 I think.
6. Download and run USPL program by unpacking and clicking on "start_uspl.exe" NOT by running UpgradeROMUtility.exe. If USPL is successful, which it usually is, when the phone restarts pay attention to the RED number that appear on the bootscreen. SPL should read 1.11.0000.
7. After phone is finished re-booting download and run a ROM of your choice. Should install OK, especially if phone is unlocked and USPL'd
Apparently you can flash any ROM by using only USPL. I have not tried this as I previously "bricked" my handset by NOT running USPL when I should have. Therefore I have only detailed the steps that I take to flash my phone if I need to restore from a bad flash.
So far it works for me.
XDA Orbit running B&B v3.7 (no problem)
I hope that this long winded message helps some people out. This website forum has helped me out, with my Orbit and my old Himalaya device. Time to return the favour.

steps to change the radio rom 1.09.00 to 0.00.00

I am trying several times and nonencounter the way to change the radio.
I hope to receive aid yours detailed and links. sorry i have a bad english , i from spain. thanks

You must understand why you would want to change it...right? Try making a search for your purpose; otherwise, there is no need to change your radio.

Quoting from Buzz's SIM_Unlock_v1.rar's readme file.
Warning:
The unlock procedure requires you to reflash your Universal. Although the unlocking procedure itself should be safe, you are advised to take a full backup of all device data before use.
Buzzdev.net takes no responsibility for any conflict, fault, or damage caused to your phone by this unlocking procedure. It may invalidate your warranty. Full caution is advised.
Install Instructions:
1. Backup your phone (not necessary, but advisable).
2. Remove your SD Card.
3. Enter bootloader mode on your Phone. To do this, simultaneously hold down the backlight key (“bulb” key, next to volume key), the power key and soft reset the phone. Your phone screen should clear, and you will see very faint writing saying “serial”. Let go of buttons etc.
4. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.
5. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program – this will reflash your phone with necessary software required to enable the unlocker.
6. Wait patiently.
7. Once the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe upgrade completes, soft reset your phone by pressing the soft reset button on the back of the device [if the flash has been successfully applied, you should see that you now have Radio version 0.00.00]
8. Allow your phone to reboot. Once it has, connect to your PC using Activesync, and copy the UNI_Unlock_v1.exe program onto your phone. Alternatively, copy it to an SD card and insert into your phone.
9. Run UNI_Unlock_v1.exe on your phone. Wait patiently.
10. Once the process completes, soft reset your phone.
11. Process is (hopefully) complete!

Problems installing, wm6.5

hello all,
i was about to install wm6.5, but i cant get it done.
Mobile: Htc touch diamond (ofcourse)
Rom: 1.37.172.3 NLD (i went to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402 , and did everything they said, and the rom update was succeful.. so i dont understand why my mobile says its this rom.)
radio: 1.00.25.03
I followed this steps:
How to install the Windows Mobile 6.5 in your HTC mobile
This howto was conducted on GSM HTC Touch Diamond. For all other HTC sets running the Windows 6.5 the consequences will be the same.
Requirement
HTC Touch Diamond or Touch Pro (GSM only)
Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM (Choices: Diamond , Pro )
Account at XDA Developers(free)
Windows PC set up to sync with your handset
Device flashing utility
bootloader(Diamond , Pro )
Device Radio (Diamond , Pro ). Ensure that you download the Original list.
Now, if you are done with the requirements its time to back up with your contacts and personal info. For this you might take the help of Microsoft's free online service called My Phone. Remember, the installation would remove the software installed in your device, so don't forget to keep a back up.
Install the bootloader
What you need to know is that you are installing an unofficial softwar, something that your mobile phone is not used to do. To begin with install a new bootloader hardSPL on the device. This will allow your handset to accept third party services like the Windows Mobile ROM. Go ahead with the steps
Step 1: Connect your mobile phone to your Windows PC. Establish the ActiveSync (on XP) or Sync Center (on Vista, or Windows 7) connection to your device. Make sure the connection is active. To check this see if there is a bidirectional arrow in your Phones taskbar.
Step 2: Extract the bootloader you've downloaded and note the location
Step 3: Now find the extracted files and run the executable file ( it is usually called ROMUpdateUtility.exe)
Step 4: Follow the instructions. The software will perform a number of checks. You must make sure you have the following
i) The handset has 50 % battery life in your phone
ii) The correct bootloader
iii) host computer that doesn't go down
Step 5: Can you see the paired progress bars on your phone and computer screen. This part of the process doesn't take long as it is a small piece of software.
Step 6: Now Restart your phone. The small text will appear in the corner of your Windows Mobile splash screen. This might be unfamiliar.
If the utility runs completely, the device will be restarted on its own.
Install a new device radio
Installing a fresh Radio onto the device usually won't make much of a change in how your phone works. Some radios can improve reception on certain networks. Let's get on with the technique
Step 1: Connect your phone to the PC
Step 2: Extract the download radio files and note their location
In case, the radio comes with a bootloader, jump to step 5
Step 3: Extract the downloaded bootloader, using the location
Step 4: Copy the extracted radio file, with an .NBH extension to the directory where you have placed the bootloader
Step 5: Run the bootloader
Step 6: Perform the instruction in step 4 and 5 provided in the bootloader installation procedure
Step 7: Allow the phone to restart. This won't bring in major changes, but you might have to make some minor changes in the network setup.
Install Windows Mobile 6.5
This is where you get down to installing the new OS.
Step 1: Connect the Phone with PC
Step 2: Extract the downloaded bootloader again, but to a different location
Step 3: Extract the Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM to the same directory where you have the bootloader. It would be an .NBH file of about 80-100 MB.
Step 4: Now Run the bootloader and follow the instructions.
Step 5: Wait, the process will take 15 to 20 minutes
Step 6: After your phone is reset, the Windows Mobile 6.5 splash screen will appear. It appears somewhat hacked. But, your job is done.
Step 7: WinMo would automatically anticipate your connection settings and apply the appropriate connection settings. In case, it doesn't, you can do it from the device's Settings page, found in the top level of the new start menu.

Ok now the problem:
The first step was succesful, i installed the bootloader.
Then i went to the radio update: So i downloaded the radio version: 1.09.25.23. There are 2 files in that: 1.09.25.23.nbh and customRUU.
I first clicked the costomRUU twice, and started the thing, but it got stucked. So i went back to the webpage to look, and i found i had to copy the stuff into the bootloader shizzle. So i copied 1.09.25.23.nbh and customRUU into the map with: enterbootloader, errorbattery, errorusb, modelID, rapitool, romupdateutility.cgf, romupdateutility, RUU_signed.nbh, RUUgetinfo, RUURescource.dll, SSPL-Manual.. And i double-clicked the romupdateutility. I did everything the thing said, But after a short period of time, like 3 minutes, an error occured. So i did the same after resetting my device.. same problem. The same problem occures when i try this with the wm6.5 file. I downloaded BsB65K. from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506533. I copied the nbh-file into the bootloader thing, runned the romupdateutility, and got same problems as with teh radio, what am i doing wrong?
Kind regards, Michiel.

The radio did come with a bootloader - customRUU.exe, skip to step 5. I know you did try using the customRUU and it got stuck; do it again. Extract the original radio file you downloaded, don't piss around with the files you've copied around at this point. Extract it and double click the customRUU after you've connected via ActiveSync. Once that's done extract the ROM you want, copy it to the root of the internal storage, press reset then hold vol down and <- at the same time until you get the boot menu, press power once to install the new ROM.

Thanks for the helping.
But, is this for radio only?
And i still have the problem. I did as u said:
-extract the radio files on the pc: 1.09.25.23.nbh and customRUU
-double click customruu, (do i have to run the whole setup, or just the first step? )
-what is the rom? the .nbh-file? because i copied the nbh into my storage of my mobile device.
-then i do the reset.
so i have to know how i have to run the setup, btw, at the reset or do i have to run it before.
regards

Did you Hard-spl? if not, thats your problem.

Nope that was radio and ROM.
Extract the files from the radio file. Connect the phone via activesync. Run the customRUU. Follow the instructions on the screen. Once it completes your radio is updated.
Now extract the ROM you want to upgrade to. Copy the diaming.nbh file from it into your internal storage. Press reset and hold vol down and <- until you get the boot menu. One option will be to install the DIAMING.nbh by pressing the power button. Press the power button once.
It will tell you when it's complete. Reset and enjoy. The method I describe is faster and easier than using activesync to install the new ROM.

When i hold reset+vol down, i get a 3 color+white screen.. witch says not except some rom information. etc.
And yes i did hardspl. i got rom SPL- 1.30 Olinex.

upgrade your hard-spl to: RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition
download here: http://rapidshare.de/files/40191554/RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition.zip.html click free user and you are ready to go...
hope this helps you

HTC TP2 bricked? Freezes at Start up!

Please help!
My HTC TP2 freezes at start up with the black screen and the Touch Pro2 Logo and some details in red at the bottom:
B 80
R 4.49.25.17
G 61.44tc.25.32U
D 1.86.67102
No USB connection can be established.
What happened:
1. Tried to update from original WM 6.1 to WM 6.5 by using the official HTC ROM update utility. Seems like USB connection broke during update and update freezed at 42%. Update utility process has stopped by itself (no process visible anymore in the Task Manager).
2. Restarted phone and multicolor screen appeared and stayed. After connecting with USB cable again "USB" appeared at the bottom. Started again the HTC ROM update utility which recognized the phone and started the update process again, but stopped at the beginning with an error message stating something like the ROM is broken.
3. Restarted again (by removing the battery and hit power button) and state reached like described above (HTC TP2 freezes at start up with the black screen and the Touch Pro2 Logo and some details in red at the bottom).
4. Performed a hard reset but did not help.
What can I do to bring the phone back to life?

So you can't or can get in the colored screen now? (the boatloader)
And it's kind of normal that their nothing happens after the tp2 + red information screen, this since their is no rom to startup.
EDIT
Is it possible to tell exactly what error you got?
EDIT
Try to hard reset your device, do you know how to do this?
If not this is how to do it:
To perform a hard reset
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel."
2. Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523083
This is just what worked for me..
Had the same issue on my tp...
Hope it will work for you.

Did already the hard reset - but this did not help as nothing changed!
One further info: whenever I insert the battery the device automatically starts up - until it freezes again at the start up.
Can someone please help?

It's normal that the device starts up when the battery is plugged in...
But this is just what I know out of my own experience.
So sorry I can't help you farther.
EDIT
Did some research you might want to try to flash your phone by micro sd... (not for sure if it helps but by some people it did work)
Read the tread about flashing at the top of the rhodium section and you know how to do it.

Did another trial: downloaded and copied a RHODIMG.nbh to the micro sd card, inserted it again and pressed volume up at startup -> colored screen appears shortly, then switches to a white screen telling "Loading..." in blue font color, but nothing more.
Is there anybody out there who can help?
Do I need a specific RHODIMG.nbh to make this approach working? I didn't flash this device before, so it has been still in the original manufacturer's state.

suppose 2 press down volume not up after soft reset

This may help,
Try entering bootloader by switching off device then switch back on holding down the Vol down key.
If you can enter bootloader this way then you wil be able to flash from SD card following the instructions from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
if you want to flash the Official update from HTC you can extract the Nbh from the Exe file you downloaded from them, just use winzip, Zzip or Win RAR to extract the contents from the Exe you are looking for RUU_signed.nbh..follow the above thread instructions to change the name of the file to RHODIMG.nbh.
I DONT KNOW IF YOU NEED TO HARD SPL FOR THIS..Probably better to do it than not. Can Anyone Confirm???
i hope this helps

Device is up and running again !
Could enter bootloader mode and tried first to install again via the official HTC installer -> worked!
Thanks a lot for your support!

great news welldone Bro and welcome to the forum!!!

For future info, from what I have gathered you must hardSPl for all ROM flashes. If the ROM you flash is the stock ROM, you can also revert your SPL to stock. For any other ROM, you must leave your device hardSPL'd.
Hope I helped.

how were you able to connect the phone with the pc. i seem to have a similar problem but am finding it difficult to connect the phone to the pc. i have activesync installed but cannot connect to the phone

is it possible to connect to active sync in bootloader, cos my phone cannot even boot, it freezes up with a white screen and htc logo.

After entering bootloader you can flash either way,either by ruu package provided by your ROM's maker or running official ruu release or if you have the renamed file on the root of your sd card....I never use sd card flashing and have never had a failed flash...If in bootloader it will not connect with activesync,but device should be recognized by ruu.exe
