Could someone please provide me with SX56 unlock code?

I am sure this bit of the question has been asked before so perhaps someone could cut and paste the procedure but I need to unlock this SX56 AT&T phone because I use T-Mobile AND travel abroad quite a lot.
The IMEI number is 350314000995655
(I couldn't find the SX56 model number or the correct ROM code or the Radio number in your pop-down menu so I entered it on the next line)

Unlock procedure
Sorry for last postingjavascript:emoticon('')
Embarassed: Siemens told me that I need an IMEI Number and that AT&T would provide me with an unlock code for this unit with that IMEI number (which obviously they won't)javascript:emoticon(':evil:')
Evil or Very Mad
Is the procedure (for my unit) to ask for an unlock code and then enter it or is it to download
* SD Card Reader
* 1x64Mb+ SD card
* XDATools
* XDA-Developers Special Edition ROM 1.2
1. Backup the existing bootloader and operating system using card reader
2. Extract the XDA-Developers Special Edition ROM 1.2 using Winzip
3. Write the NK.nbf-file (in the directory English) to your Device
4. Running the Programs -> Phone -> XDAUnlock file will remove the SIMlock...
5. after this time, the original ROM could be restored as desired.
And if I need to, can I do all this with Infra Red and sync or with the cradle which connects it to the computer? I cant find any reference to my ROM or Radio numbers in the pull down menu here and am a bit confused by this.javascript:emoticon(':?')

No, flashing the ROM will not unlock your device. Search for the wallaby unlocker, or check the wiki, as it is there, sticky and has been mentioned before.

Completing unlock process and flashing
I was directed to the flash upgrade program to unlock the device at the XDA-Wallaby Home Page and did flash but nowhere was I given the option to unlock: However the flashing process failed in an unusual and probably not important way: It completed successfully but I have lost the stylus and couldnt figure out how to stop the battery by pushing a fine screwdriver into the hole shown on the host computer screen. All that now shows on the screen is COMPLETED and a number of close-together vertical lines at the far right quarter inch of the screen.
Is there some trick to turning the battery off with some special tool or have I in fact completed the procedure and simply don't know that I have or what to do next? (get to a screen where I can run the XDAUnlock program which I transferred over to the SX56 before flashing the ROM?)
I wonder if I should or need to take the battery off if I Have lost that tool which does this by pushing into the hole on the lower quarter of the unit?

A bit of self-help going on here
So I DO appear to have flashed the ROM and the XDA ROM now appears on the screen although with no real backlight: The DO YOU WANT TO UNLOCK also appears but when YES is pressed, nothing happens. In fact one can see the unit taking the command but nothing further happens and the question just hangs on the screen.
Is this unlocking a command which takes a long time to execute? Or should I cancel out of it and carry on with bringing up the screen and can I execute it later on? Or have I done something major wrong and is there any way of rectifying? Sometimes if I press YES hard enough, the backlight appears for a half second (and the YES command pulsates once) and then goes off. But the question about unlocking still hangs on the screen.
Is this something to do with the program not being able to unlock an AT&T lock? Or has the screen lost sensitivity in some way and if so, (last resource here, improbably necessary) is there a source for Wallaby screens?

FOr the benefit of anyone trying this
NOTE:
After a night of the YES command taking and then not doing anything, I tried MOVING the over-screen by trying to drag it to another position
This didnt work. BUT tapping on the blue bar resulted in a message telling me that the unit was now unlocked. And the 7-8 black vertical lines to the right of the screen now have reduced to one, a quarter of an inch in
(Mind you, tapping on the ok button on THAT screen still mysteriously does nothing. This is a ROM which works in a VERY interesting, unusual and unexpected way!!)

I found the same happened to me first time and a soft reset did the trick. It may also be that the "Hard Reset" will be needed. I seem to recall that this was what I had to do with a couple of them. If your stylus is missing, a push pin and a bit of control will do. Just shove it in the micro hole at the bottom left of the device and hold it for a few seconds then let it go. If it does not restart on its own, follow that with a "soft reset" by pressing the point of the stylus (or a ball point pen) into the larger hole at the bottom left of the unit.
For the upgrade/unlock rom . . . the best one to which I have access is at:

Dead SPV M5000 / Universal

Hi All
I posted this in another forum... but hope its better suited here.
My Father has an SPV M5000 (HTC Universal). He has unlocked the SIM lock from IMEI number some time ago.
Recently it started going screwy and so he did a soft reset and then it wont turn on at all.
He has let me play with it and if I try a hard reset it comes up with the screen saying "press 0 to restore...", but if you press 0 it says "clearing now" and then appears to switch off. If you press x it also appears to switch off.
You can enter bootloader mode and it displays SERIAL on the screen - when you plug it in to a PC the screen changes to USB. But when I try connecting using MTTY I get no USB port - although selecting COM5 seems to open a command prompt window - but to be honest I dont know where to go from here.
If I try a soft reset it seems to do nothing - although the orange charging light blinks once.
With it connected to a PC in bootloader mode I was able to reflash the ROM and it went through all three stages correctly and indicated it had been successful - but when you finish with a hard reset it appears to turn off.
Before I use it to wedge my living room door open, can anyone offer any advice? I have perused the forum, but cannot find anything which seems to match the fault I am getting.
I know its not the battery as I have the same model and the battery is new.
I suppose if nothing can be done... does anyone have any ideas what to do with it now?
Thanks in advance
SlipMat

Perhaps you can find something on the Wiki:

[Q] Desire Z vanilla bricked?

Hello XDA,
I've searched the forum and couldn't find anything similar to the problem I have though, so here it goes...
This morning I wanted to check my Facebook through the official FB app on my phone. The whole thing hung up - couldn't even turn the screen off with the lock button. I removed the battery, the phone began to restart, then it restarted the process, then again, and again...
I removed the battery, the SD card and the SIM card, no difference. I inserted both cards and since then the phone just goes to the white screen with the "HTC" logo (not the one with the 'quietly brilliant" - the one before that) and then nothing happens.
I googled here and there, eventually got to the recovery screen. After choosing the 'recovery' option the screen goes black, then a green icon appears, after that a red triangle with an exclamation mark appears and the whole process restarts. After about three-four restarts the phone goes to the white screen with the "HTC" logo mentioned above. If I press Vol-Up+Power when the red triangle appears I get these three lines:
Code:
E: can't open /cache/recovery/command
E: can't mount /data/data/recovery/log
E: can't open /data/data/recovery/log
FAKE EDIT: when doing the restart to check the three lines while writing this post, after the third reboot to that red triangle icon the phone loaded the recovery menu with the options to reset to factory defaults, etc. I chose to whipe cache and after rebooting got as far as this "quietly brilliant" screen. After that the screen died, power button not responding. Another battery replacement and the difference is that now, after the screen dies the phone just restarts the "quietly brilliant" screen (and the annoying sound...).
Now, here's the trick that makes my case unique, compared to other people's problems on this forum: I did NOTHING to the phone earlier. It's the official, out of the box Android, updated to the latest version given by HTC (2.3.3 I believe) using the update option within the system, I didn't ever try to root it, mount anything, change ROMs, shorten the loading time. The only thing I did was installing some apps from the Android Market and the K9 mail client from an install file downloaded from their official site.
Can you help, XDA? : (
Cheers!

Could be a bad emmc or curropt partition, either wont matter if rooted or not. Try booting into safe mode (hold down s while powering on) if it boots you have a bad app, if not then one of the above is your problem.
If it doesnt work try a factory reset, if that still wont work then download the latgest ruu directly from htc, if that works your fine and it was just a curropt partition, if not that you most certainly have a bad emmc which unfortuntetly is not so easy to replace.
By not rooting it would be hard to check which chip you have other than opening up the phone and looking, which would void warranty if there even is any left. I find that in most cases rooting an android phone makes issues that arise easier to deal with in the long run but when its harware at fault it never matters

Thanks for responding!
I'm afraid I'm a noob in regard to smartphones, so I'll be needing a bit more detailed advice...
So, first of all: what do you mean by "hold down s while powering on"? What's "s"? : ) The "s" key on the QWERTY keyboard? If so, it doesn't work, I get the same greet screen restart loop as earlier.
Second: where do I even start looking for this "ruu"? A simple Google search didn't help me much. I got to a different forum with someone's post containing a dead link... : /

Yes that holding the s key, which being it didn't work it wasn't a malicious app causing your problem. For the ruu go to HTC.com > support > pick phone > go to downloads > find latest firmware/software download
You will need to get fast boot working to do this and I believe there will also be a link for any drivers you may news

[Q] Getting datas from a booting but half dead DHD

Hi!
I need somme help, maybe from ADB specialists I guess.
One of my friends asked me if I could help with his DHD, here is the story:
This DHD is almost dead after a big shock. But it still can boot. Problem: the screen is cracked at the very bottom and now is responsive only for about 2mm at the very bottom, not even possible to unlock (can't push the ring more than 2mm)
He won't just change the screen since all the body of this poor DHD is completly destroyed too and kept in one thing with tape. The camera is dead too.
What he wanted form me is to try to get some datas back, make some backups of the apps, get the few photos that were in internal memory (and not on the SD) and most important, trying to get the contacts (he had many contacts in the phone memory instead of the SIM...bad luck!)
As he had a custom ROM, I thought at first I could boot in recovery and then get some datas back from here.
But impossible to manually boot into recovery, the volume button is dead (and missing!). Even with a metalic pin, I can't make it work, so can't boot into recovery or fastboot.
SO I need help!!!
=> Can I boot into recovery with the phone already booted to Android and something like adb command?
=> Is it possible to get the contact backs?
=> What else can I do?? xD
All help appreciated!

adb reboot recovery.

please help my
