unlocking problem...

[elessar]

hi all, i have a little problem unlocking my XDA

first of all my PocketPC is a TSM400 and it is mysteriously identic to XDA. I think is the same model with a different name cause distributor company (telefonica Spain). I have a 3.18.10 ESP ROM version (08/15/03) and when i try to unlock it i got a "error getting unlock code"
any idea?

should i update the rom?
will i have any incompatibility problem?

thanks!

If indeed it is the same pda I would suggest installing xda developers special edition rom 1.2 AFTER you have backed up your existing rom using sd method. This should unlock your pda automatically on first boot after burning the new rom.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news here, but that statement keeps getting thrown around yet its a false statement.

Its not the ROM that is stopping the Unlock, its the Radio stack. as i found out yesterday.

After i had upgraded to the special edition, it still returned a "Error getting Code" message, it was only when i upgraded my Radio stack to 6.24 was i able to unlock the phone.

But then, because i now had the wrong radio stack, i failed to get a signal until i had downgraded back to 4.21, Only then was i able to place a call and get SMS through.


Indeed the Phone does look exactly like a XDA,


So first thing for people with a tsm 400 to do is find out what hardware versions they are on.

Could i ask that both peachy_212 and elessar pick there PDA up and do this

Click Start on the today screen
Navigate to settings at the bottom of the drop down list
tap the SYSTEMS tab along the bottom row of tabs
And then device information

You should have

ROM version
ROM date
Radio version
Protocol version

Then click the next tab over (Hardware)

If it is a XDA it should say something along these lines

CPU: ARM SA1110
Speed: 206mhz
RAM: 64mb
FLashsize: 32MB
Flashchip type: 28f128
Databus: 32 bits
LCD :240x320 TFT
Colors: 4096

ALso what would help is the next tab over from HARDWARE, (Identity)

Give the model number and platform from this section, DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR IMEI NUMBER ONLINE,


Could you reply with what version numbers and hardware info to confirm that it is indeed a XDA

Then maybe we can help
