Old tool: xda2unlock (now updated)

[W4XY]

UPDATE: This tool has been superseded by a newer version. This new tool does not work for Radio version 1.05.12 (see below). The new tool works for 1.05.12A and later. For more information on the new tool see the new thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6963&highlight=)

==============================================

This is old information. Only use this method for 1.05.12

Despite some set-backs and not precisely the easy tool we want (yet), we didn't want to hold this back.
We are proud to present the new unlock tool for the XDA II!

One of the prerequisites for using this tool is puting the XDA II in bootloader mode.
Unfortunately this will also mean a hard reset of the device: you will loose all current data!
So the advice is: MAKE A BACK-UP FIRST! (And test that it works).
Puting the device in bootloader mode requires pressing three buttons at once:
The Power button, the Action button (also called Navigation pad)
and the Reset button in a hole at the bottom with the stylus.

When you run this tool on your PC, it will run in a DOS box and extract the unlock code from the device.
It will probably not work on Windows 98, but it does on Windows 2000 and XP.

This tool was tested with Radio version 1.06.x. It might not work on Radio version 1.10.x!

It won't unlock the device for you. You can do it through the standard interface.

When you run it, it looks like this:




XDA Developers XDA2UNLOCK tool

This program will extract the unlock code from your XDA II.
For this to be possible, a few steps are necessary:

1. The XDA II needs to be put in bootloader mode.
NOTE: THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA SO FIRST BACK-UP!

You enter the bootloader by holding the Power button and the Action button
while pressing the stylus in the reset hole on the bottom.
In the bootloader mode, the display will be gray and say Serial at the top.

2. Next put the device in the USB cradle. The display will now say USB
and the first time Windows will detect a new device.

3. Disable USB in Active Sync in 'File -> Connection Settings'

Now the device is ready to extract the unlock code.
Type YES when you have completed the above steps and want to continue: YES

Communication port opened.
waiting for radio bootloader
reading first block...
reading second block...


Unlock code: 2040248

When you insert a blocked SIM in your XDA2,
you can enter the above code in the SIMLock box.

Alternatively, you can connect to the wireless modem
and enter the following AT command:
AT%HTCLOCK=0,2040248,1

Do not forget to enable USB in Active Sync again!

You are really the beast one!
have a bear and many thanks for your greater job.
Last thing would be to making writeable the extended rom, as the last 10 MDAII i had, they're not writeable anymore.

Thanks and ciao.

[itsme]

working on that one. seems to be protected rather good. I suspect that unprotecting it will involve reformatting the partitions. and then reloading them with data.

Since O2 charge £15 to do that (and there's no guarentee that they'll do it)... I'm donating it to you!

Thanks a lot guys!

[abbas]

Congrats. You are a great blessing to the tech community. Though I'm in Nigeria and I doubt if I will get an XDAII soon, but now I know whenever it comes unlocking will not be a problem.
God bless and preserve you.

[X-Ray]

Great: it even works! :wink:
Thanks for giving us Freedom of Provider :D

[mrg2003]

It works fine on my O2 locked XDA2. Brilliant. I take back all I said.

It runs on the PC, and you have to follow the instructions and tell ActiveSync to release the USB port while using it...

Hello

I am new here, so don't know any technical terms...

When I made a hard reset, then finally the display was not described as below.

"In the bootloader mode, the display will be gray and say Serial at the top."

The display finally stopped and showed a message in the middle of screen, "Tap the screen to set up your Procket PC.", and there was a logo of Microsoft Windowns Procket PC.

Please Kindly tell me what I did wrong....

[Butler]

You are brilliant. Thanks.javascript:emoticon(':D')
javascript:emoticon(':D') This sorts out talking to those O2 people who have no idea what you are talking about.
I eventually got through to a great guy Tony Gilfoyle who knows a lot and is very helpfull. He is worth talking to if you have any problems. He also unblocked a phone for me in one day.

Hi Pete!
Pressing the NAVIGATION BUTTON with POWER BUTTON while pressing the RESET key with STYLUS. ALL THREE HAVE TO BE DONE AT THE SAME TIME TO GO INTO BOOT LOADER PROPERLY!!!

I Hope this helps.

Happy New Year!

I quite new to PDA combinated to GSM and i wonder if this new unlock tool version will wotk with my Treo 600 ? :?: :?: :?:


No I don't think it will work. There is a small chance it will work on other HTC build Smartphones, but not on anything else.

[Arthur]

Yes, works 100% uk T-mobile sim works now in my XDA2 :)

am i correct in thinking that now its fully unlocked for all sim's
or do i need to enter my unlock code again if i put a Voda or
whatever sim in the XDA2 ?

eather way fecking TOP STUFF DUDE. you are the man :lol:

gonna donate when payday comes thats for shure.

you guys make me feal all warm and fluffy inside :lol:

Hi Everybody,

I just joined the forum to say thank you very much to all XDA developer and in particolar to XDA developer W4XY who posted the solution for unlocking the XDA II.

I will offer a donation to support all your wonderful work!

Thank you!

[wezoo]

may sound a stupid question, but the phone is under contract
and what if i have to send it back for repair or summit like that

is there a way to lock it back to o2 so theyre none the wiser ?

thanks

wez :?:

[W4XY]

is there a way to lock it back to o2 so theyre none the wiser ?


Yes, you can put the XDA in Wireless Modem mode (application in Programs) and then connect to it with a terminal program like Hyperterminal. When you get feedback from the AT commands (for example ATZ) you can enter the following:

AT%HTCLOCK=1,12345678,1

Where 12345678 can be replaced by your unlock code.

[raffles]

Hi there!

Have read the threads with great interest having just acquired one of the XDA2 machines. I must say that I was in somewhat of a moral dilemma as to whether I should have my machine unlocked.

The reason being you see is that I work for the O2 company and therefore am aware that officially we do not unlock these devices as they are the O2 brands flagship product and we are of course hesitant about letting any other network get their grubby little paws on revenue that rightfully should belong to us.

Having said that of course, when I found out that it would cost nearly 200 pounds to transfer my nice easy number from Vodafone (yes I know....why dont I have an O2 number if I am extolling their virtues?...good question...but that would be an ecumenical matter...lol) I promptly forgot about the ethical high ground and took a quick saunter down the hill to the lower moral suburbs and quickly downloaded this fine piece of software and said a quick blessing for the gifted people who created it.

Many thanks guys and keep up the good work.



Raffles
"Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilt and I'll show you a man."

[cruisin-thru]

Lets talk about the morality of O2 shall we, I bought 2 contract sims from their online service, the selling point being the ability to access the bill on the web, at any time I was supposed to be able to see how much of a bill was being run up, this was important to me as one sim was for my 13 year old granddaughter. To cut a long story short, I was never able to access the account, I sent numerous emails which took weeks to get an automatic response that did not address the problem, I paid O2 in excess of £1000 in a matter of months without once seeing a bill, I then asked that the service be terminated because of their inability to supply the service they were selling. This was refused by a very bolshie female, eventually I got through to a manager at 50p a minute, he terminated the contract, I then got a final bill which I refused to pay in the absence of any itemisation, something I had never had, they put the debt collecters on my case, after many long and fruitless phone calls to the debt agency they referred it back to O2 as they were not aware that it was a disputed bill. I have no way to contact O2 except online but I have no reference or membership because they have blacklisted my name and address. My granddaughter saved up Mars chocolate wrappers in a promotion between Mars and O2, she registered them onsite giving my address, guess what, they took her wrappers and sent nothing as her application for O2 payg sim services were "not acceptable" owing to a credit search. O2 are in my opinion a bunch of faceless robbers that hide behind credit agencies and premium rate lines. This is the same O2 that were allowing people to register stolen credit cards to topup and refused to close the loophole even when aware of it, they had to make thousands of refunds to innocent cardholders, was their any apology, you have to be joking, the refunds were not given automatically, the cardholder had to apply to get their money back. Happy new year O2, hope you choke on your ill gotten profits. :evil:

[UK badboy]

This is great everyone! The only problem I was having with my XDAII was O2 :P Does this unlock system work with dual sim cards? If so can you be connected to both phone lines (and networks) at once?

[cruisin-thru]

The dual sim can only use one line, I think you have to switch off radio then switch back on to switch between the 2 sims. The unlock is not affected by the dual sim and will unlock as usual.

[raffles]

in reply to cruisin........What can I say...you have in a nut shell summed up the very sentiments of guys like me who are not faceless and have to try to assist customers like yourself when they come in to see us at the high street stores and what can we do about their concerns?....bupkiss thats what! Some gifted idiot in the upper echelons of the company decided it would be a great idea to seperate O2 retail (us at the high street stores) from O2 online (those faceless robbers who do indeed hide behing credit agencies and premium rate lines) and still call it O2 as if they are anything to do with us lot in the stores. The real kicker is that even we only have the premium rate number we can call to try to sort out any problems and we still have to wait in line. Trust me.....even we have difficulty in swallowing this as it is us poor sods who tend to get the shitty end as we are the human face to this company :x . On behalf of us retail monkeys I would just like to say that we may not be perfect either but at least you can come and give the guy who sold it you a hard time until its sorted. Some days the motto for O2 online should be "caveat emptor" (buyer beware for those not inclined toward latin)

I only hope you are with a better airtime provider now and anyone else reading this......come and see us instore and speak to a human. You may still have to wait but at least we wont bore you with music and insincere apologies every forty seconds :) .

[Fadyco]

I got my hands on the Qtek 2020 (XDA2) a while back and have not been able to use it because of it being unlocked.

THANKS GUYS you are really worth the LONG time I spend browsing this site!

Keep up the good work!

[barlas]

thanks to zda team its a great tool i had 2 sdas and i have unblocked them in a min wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[jr_thewiz]

Guys - GREAT JOB!!

Easy & straight forward and worked first time like a charm.
Donation on its way.

But.....

Now Ive unlocked my O2 branded XDA2, is there anyway of getting rid of the o2 stuff once and for all??

If you hard reset, it chucks all the O2 active stuff back on the beast.

Any ideas??

[UK badboy]

Just remove "O2.lnk" in windows/startup

[kevwright]

Could not find O2.lnk in mine, but deleting active.lnk seems to also do it.

Thanks XDa devolpers, cracking the unlock sold me an XDA 2 today (already had one before and unlocked it by arguing with O2 and paying all contract up front plus £15)

25 euro just donated as that is good value IMHO.

Kev

[jr_thewiz]

Cant find either on mine :-(

Am I missing something?

[UK badboy]

sorry it is active.lnk- I got confused cos its got O2 on the icon.

[jr_thewiz]

Nope, definately cannot see either on mine.

This is definately in My Device\Windows\Startup ???

I used Remove Programs to get rid of the two O2 applications,
and then used File Explorer to get rid of the V2R directory.

This works fine so long as the battery isnt removed or goes DEAD flat.

If it does, the unit restarts from scratch and loads all the O2 stuff back :-(

Bit of a pain, but I suppose I can live with it.

[meanbiker]

Well done, got my unlock code and also been deleting some of the o2 extras. I'll have to buy a third party sim now to see if it works!! :D

[junglejim]

Great work.... I now have the great tarrifs of 3g on a decent phone!!!!

Cheers,

JB

[tryirish]

I tried two weeks ago and the unlock program blanked out after typing YES to one of its question.

So my XDA II is still locked:(
:cry: :cry: :cry:


Do I have to use Windows XP? Do I have to?

[gazzaman2k]

no cause you dont thats why it says works on 2k and XP only

[cruisin-thru]

Tryirish, find a friend who has xp installed, or w2k, it will work ok then.

[samcory]

Thanks for the unlock method it worked perfectly. However after I did it and inserted the non o2 card and it asked for an unlock code,
I thought I would see what happens when I swap sims in and out.
So:
I removed the Orange Sim and put in the o2 sim= NO PROBLEM
I removed the o2 sim and pit in the Orange sim=NO PROBLEM
I removed the Orange sim and put in the o2 sim= HARD RESET

Was this a freak error or did I do this somehow? or should I do a full backup each time before changeing sims?

Shoot!
Only have Win98. Are you guys sure that it doesn't work on that ??

[neepas]

:?: not very familiar with the XDAs .. but i do have a newly acquired SX56 from AT&T.

Can I use the XDA2Unlock to unlock it?

Thanks.

[nuts]

One question:

Would unlocking the device void the warranty?

[cruisin-thru]

Neepas, no, you can use xdaunlock, xda manipulator, or failing that the special edition rom 1.2.

Nuts, no it wouldnt as far as I know. You can relock it anyway.

[neepas]

Neepas, no, you can use xdaunlock, xda manipulator, or failing that the special edition rom 1.2.

cruisin-thru,

i tried the xdaunlock but i got an error response
"error getting unlock code" :(

[cruisin-thru]

So try manipulator, if that doesnt work then install the special edition rom 1.2.

[plop]

hi, i know this sounds stupid, or maybe im duin sumit wrong. i have xp and have followed the instructions carefully. everytime i put it in bootloader mode and try and run the program after typing in yes the window for unlock program closes and nothing happens. the activesync doesnt recognis, so i think it is disabled. how do i exactlly disable via file etc?

[W4XY]

hi, i know this sounds stupid, or maybe im duin sumit wrong. i have xp and have followed the instructions carefully. everytime i put it in bootloader mode and try and run the program after typing in yes the window for unlock program closes and nothing happens.

Ok, can you run the program from a separate command box? Go to startup -> Run and type cmd.exe. Then in the black box go to the directory where you saved the program. For example cd c:\temp Or make it easy and save the progam in C:\. Then type xda2unlock. Now maybe there is some more information as the window doesn't close.

the activesync doesnt recognis, so i think it is disabled. how do i exactlly disable via file etc?

It could still be something else. What is the version of your radio software?

[SIM]

I have a used Locked XdaII
when i attach my xdaII to cradel its asking for drivers.
I know its a dumb question, but where do i find the drivers for it?

Regards

[SIM]

I am getting this error, when i am trying to unlock without the drivers installed.

[Jos]

@SIM

Have you installed Active Sync?

[SIM]

Thanks Jos :-)
Phone Unlocked :P

[Dialtone27]

Seems that the extraction does not work with this radio version :cry: bummer :(

It reads the blocks and ends with the message that this phone is already been unlocked.

But when inserting a O2 sim it asks for the unlock code ..

Can you help me??

[W4XY]

Hello

I have problems when i would unlocking my XDA2. I becomes no unlocking code.

Can you help me??

We can always try, but an explanation of what actually is happening would help. What version of windows on your PC, what version of PocketPC, radio software? Is there an error message? Try to run xda2unlock.exe from a command prompt (cmd.exe).
Did you read the whole thread and tried solutions/problems others encountered?

[matrix]

Yes i read the other problems.

But my problem is i becomes no unlock code.

When i start the Software comes:
Communication port opened.
waiting for radio bootloader
reading first block...
reading second block...

The phone seems unlocked already!

Thats all.

I have a XDA2 02 brand one locked. ROM 1.60.00Ger

Can you help me now.

Thanks for yours strive in advance.

[W4XY]

Are you sure it is locked? Have you tested this with another SIM?

Maybe it is a different lock as this tool only gets the code for the network lock. Maybe we could see if it is another lock.

Do you know the specific radio version? You can find it under settings -> system -> Device information.

Also you could try and collect the information as specified in:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4095

Hello

I have Radio Version 1.10.00.

I inserted also another Simkarte into my equipment and am definitely closed it.
There I also no UNLOCK code do not have continue to be useful to me the AT of instructions also. Do you have another idea?

Thanks for yours strive with me.

Matrix

[W4XY]

I have Radio Version 1.10.00.

Ok, this might be a newer Radio version that changed something.

There I also no UNLOCK code do not have continue to be useful to me the AT of instructions also. Do you have another idea?

I'm not sure what you mean here, but it could be usefull if you could read the thread in the previous message. Can you try the AT commands?

Another possibility is write the GSM rom to an SD card, but that is a bit involved. Also to get it off the SD card I'm not sure what tools you can use. To write it to the SD card you can do this from the bootloader. Go in the bootloader with a terminal program and issue the d2s command:


d2s 60000000 00300000

SD:Waiting for card insert.........
CMD3 for SD, it's OK, ready to get RCA from response.
SD:Detected one card
SD:ready for transfer OK
Total card size=1D30000ze=0
****************
Store image to SD/MMC card successful.


If you can do this get in touch with me to get the data off of the SD card.

I can image this is a bit involved, but otherwise I can not help. It might be they improved the Radio rom against reading the unlock code.

[cruisin-thru]

I think he is saying he tried the AT commands but dont take that as fact as my pidgin English is not good.

[matrix]

Hello

I have you send the data by email,i hope this information is helping you for my problem?

Excuse me again my badly English.

[Finrott]

I have just used the Unlock tool for the XDAII (great job guys) and it works a treat but when I put my T-mobile card in it I can't make any calls, it says call ended within seconds after dialing. I have tried both GSM & GPRS. In fact I can't even find the page to change these settings (if there is one) as I assume there are set as O2 by default. Am I missing something, I'm new to the XDAII and not too technical and I only got it today so would appriciate any reply given in full detail.
Cheers

P.S
setting up a Paypal account tommorrow then the drinks are on me!!!

[cruisin-thru]

IT might be dropping calls because of low signal level, there are no settings for that, have you tried it in a different location, my phone on O2 drops out all the time in my local pub but works great elsewhere.

[Finrott]

OK It's definatly not the reception and it definatly isn't a problem with the chip , It just doesn't seem to work and when I call the number it doesn't go to voicemail but says "calls are not currently being connected......." etc. Man I feel crap, the only reason I got this phone was because I thought I could unlock it. Has anyone else used T-mobile and had any problems or succsess???

Rom Version 1.03

[cruisin-thru]

Have you tried another sim to see if it displays the same behaviour. Have you managed to connect a call? Have you ever seen it working, it sounds like a blocked phone to me. Also place your sim in another phone and see if it works there for incoming calls

[Finrott]

My T-mobile sim definatly works in my other phone, I tried my friends T-mobile sim in the XDAII and it doesn't work either. I don't think the phone can be blocked as I bought an O2 pay as u go sim and it works fine, receiving and sending calls etc. Is it possible for a phone to be blocked to certain networks and not others???

Hi, what is your radio version?

Else maybe you could retrieve info according to this thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4095

Maybe that can tell us. But it sounds quite peculiar.

[Analyst]

I am using my T Mobile SIM since Months in my XDA2 and never had any problems. I also have the GPRS Settings and am able to access the Internet. I have notived that the T-Mobile GPRS Speed is a lot faster than O2, maybe because hardly anyone uses GPRS on T-Mobile.

And by the way, GSM is the Frequency/Network used for the Voice calls and GPRS is responsible for your Internet Connection via the GSM Network.

I rarely used to get also the message from T-Mobile 'calls are currently not connected to this number' when using ANY Handset. That is actually a 'feature' by T-Mobile when their lines are very busy. This does tend to happen (luckily not too often anymore) when you are trying to get through to a specific number usually.

If you are still experiencing the T-Mobile problems, what I would suggest is try another Network SIM (perhaps Orange from a mate) in your XDA2 and see if the phone really is unlocked properly. Alternatively carry out a Hardreset (Hold down Power Button and use the stylus to do the usual reset; make sure you backup before as ALL data on the main device will be wiped!) and before installing any applications at all, use your T-Mobile SIM.

All the best.

Hi,

I updated the first post to reflect the fact that radio version 1.10.xx can not be unlocked as of yet with the current xda2unlock.exe

[fk1team]

I've goten this to work as well on o2 xda II, however with slightly different steps

Mu issue was that after doing hard reset and placsing in cradle, ActiveSync couldn't find my xda II. SO I used following steps:

1. The XDA II needs to be put in bootloader mode.
NOTE: THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA SO FIRST BACK-UP!

You enter the bootloader by holding the Power button and the Action button
while pressing the stylus in the reset hole on the bottom.
In the bootloader mode, the display will be gray and say Serial at the top.

2. Next put the device in the USB cradle. FORGET THIS NEXT BIT - "The display will now say USB
and the first time Windows will detect a new device. " - IT STILL WORKS IF YOU IGNORE THIS STEP (in "")

3. Disable USB in Active Sync in 'File -> Connection Settings'

4. run xda2unlock.exe

;) -thanks a lot guys !!

cheers

[rwilkins]

This looks like a great unlock method thanks to the xda developers. I have a question. As I previewed the instructions it would have me load the XDA Rom Special 3.17.

I have seen discussion that the Siemens pc2003 upgrade will fail due to the rom unmatch. Is that true?

Do I attempt to upgrade pc2003 first and then load the 3.17. But that would move me to an earlier rom version, owuld it not?

Do I load the 3.17 special rom , unlock my sim and then reload my A.21.02 that the upgrade expects?

[jackeen]

I have the O2 version.
When I tried it as instructed after I run the programme it stops (finishes) but the pda screen still showed black as in SIDS post. I removed it from the cradle , soft reset , entered sim No. and it worked fine.

Maybe thats all you need to do, although the instruction issued does not say a soft reset is needed, I assumed that the pda would return to normal after the programme was run.

Am I wrong

Dear W4XY,

The current unlock tool xda2unlock should work fine for this version. If you don't want to hard reset your device to unlock it, then I'd wait a few days for our new tool. The new tool will unlock all radio version and won't need a hard reset.

Can I change the IMEI of the XDA II with this unlocking thing? i want to get rid of the prying spies. thanks...

[Norman Fineman]

Help please. I have unlocked the an XDA2 using this software which works fine and very simple to use. When I put a Vodafone sim into the unit it appears to work with full signal showing but displays "dialing" and immediately displays "call ended".

The unit is using Radio vers 1.05.12 and was locked to O2 - any ideas would be welcome.

[The Equalizer]

Hey Y'all

I used the new unlocker with no problems at all.

Thanks very much :D

Can i ask though, that i have 2 o2 sim cards in, using the Ghost sim Dual Sim.

One Sim has free texts on it & the other has free calls.
Now because both are on the same Network, i am unable to tell which sim is currently activated without trying to ring the phone first, & if it rings i know which is activated.

Is there any way to input something onto the phone or thesim, or some way of seeing at a glance which o2 sim is currently activated.

Many thanks

You can click on sim manager and look under "own numbers".

[The Equalizer]

Hey cruisin-thru

Thanks for that, yeah, kinda new that one, also i can put a pin code on one of the cards so that is another way, although, it doesn't sort the main problem.

If i want to return a call or aq text, the only way i can find out which sim is currently active is to either go in & out of flight mode or to go into sim manager.

It would be great if you could maybe change the o2UK sybol on one of the sims, so that it would show something diferent, then you could see at a glance, as soon as you activate the phone, which sim is active.

Regards

Hello,

when using your unlocking tool foor the MDA II my camera software was removed after bootloading and unsuccesfully removing the simlock. I backuped my ringtones and pictures, since I don't know how to backup programs, and now i cannot make new pictures. I have radio version 1.10 and will probably try your new tool, but first i want to be sure that all the other programs won't be erased.

Thanks for your help,

Hi,

I recently bought a xda2 from ebay for 200 quid. When i picked it up, he showed me it working at the time (pda funtionality), so i was all set to throw xdaunlock on it when i got home and throw my vodaphone sim in.

Seems the phoned was IMEI locked, because im not able to make call's.

It's a great pda, but basically i know i've been had :cry:

Anyway...reading on the forums, i see the manipulator can change the imei on an xda1 (at your own risk) but theres no xda2 imei change program. I know its a good thing that locks are in place so that stolen/lost phones can be blocked, but thats not the case is it... for virtually every other make/model of phone their are imei change programs.

Yeah, i know i shouldnt be doing it, but otherwise my well earnt money is throw away... and i dont want to pass this onto someone else through ebay, in the way i got done.

So, what im asking is... If anyone, does know of a way of doing it for the xda2, it would be much appriciated by me. Or, if someday a program comes out here/annywhere that can do it...if you email me about it, i'd be chuffed.

Thanks for listening....

For now, the xda 2 can sit in the drawer with my old snes and collect dust :(

Well, theres always one, and today its me, downloaded the software, disabled activesync, set the xda2 to the bootloader, put it in its cradle and it displayed USB on the screen, ran the software, typed yes, and the message I get is, " your XDA seems to be unlocked allready" put a vodaphone sim in and it asked for the unlock code. My RS version is 1.17, is this the reason ? ROM version is 1.72.00.
Is there any way around this ? is it possible to downgrade the software, get the code and then upgrade again ?
If so, where can I download an ealier version of the XDA2 software ?

Thanks a lot

Rom Version : 1.03.00 USA
Rom date : 09/24/03
Radio Version : 1.05.12
Protocol version: 1337.12

I ran the xda2unlock.exe and got the following results

....Now the device is ready to extract the unlock code.
Type YES when you have completed the above steps and want to continue: yes

Communication port opened.
waiting for radio bootloader
reading first block...
reading second block...

....
Unlock code: 2121128


When you insert a blocked SIM in your XDA2,
you can enter the above code in the SIMLock box.

Alternatively, you can connect to the wireless modem
and enter the following AT command:

AT%HTCLOCK=0,2121128,1

Do not forget to enable USB in Active Sync again!
Press enter to close....

After introducing another sim and entering the code, I got the message 'invalid unlock code, 115 attempts, please wait for timeout'
This code does not seem to work. Obviously, there have been other attempts been made before.
What are my options ? Will I have to upgrade ? How ?
This unlock procedure does not seem to work for me.
Any help will be appreciated.

I upgraded and ran the new unlock tool. Now all is well and the device functions with all networks in spain !

FAQ , guide ,HELP,manual , instructions to use UNLOCK XDA2 , dos and donts !!!

Tried this tool, this is just a treat, will not take much of your memory, efforts or time !!! Great tool and easy to use.

Before you use it make sure you have correct software for your radio version.

My configuration was

ROM Version: 1.72.00WWE
ROM Date: 03/15/04
Radio version: 1.17.00
Protocol version: 1337.28
ExtROM version: 1.72.181

O2 sim card was in XDA II when i tried this, (it says on forum that we dont need to keep sim in )

I used the second copy of unlock xda program which you can copy to XDA via active sync and run on XDA by going into file explorer and clikcking on it.

It took less than 30 seconds and showed message all was successful, tried T-mobile sim and hurrey it was working, can call outside, can receive calls, can browse internet , will try various sim cards now and will let you know. There was no speed issue with my use of internet after
unlocking, I checked various things including call history etc , there was no impact. all programs were ok , memory status was ok as it was before unlocking. So all well ......

**** ALSO NOTE THAT THIS TOOL WILL NOT UNLOCK YOUR XDA IIs or XDA III ******

Now for those who are trying this for first time follow these instructions :-

DONT JUST START READ THIS MANUAL AND ALSO GO THROUGH INSTRUNCTIONS ON -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6963&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) CLICK ON >> START >> SETTINGS >> SYSTEM TAB >> DEVICE INFORMATION

2) NOTE YOUR RADIO VERSION. (THIS IS THE MOST IMP THING TO DECIDE WHICH SOFTWARE YOU NEED ) :!: :!: :!:

3) IF ITS 1.05.12 USE OLDER METHOD ON THIS FORUM WHICH REQUIRES HARD BOOT OF XDA.

4) IF ITS 1.05.12A, 1.05.14, 1.06.00, 1.06.01, 1.08.00, 1.10.00 OR HIGHER LIKE MINE WAS 1.17.00 USE NEW METHOD WHICH DOES NOT NEED @@ hard reset @@ :P

5) you cand download file for new methods from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6963&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=1f96d58027195601bc5ae45d6382cf2a

6) method #1 ( xda2unlock-setup-v2.2.exe ) will install this program on your device via activesync.
but method #2 is easy and fast , download ( xda2unlock-v2.2.exe ) binary file and copy it to your device via active sync . after copying take out XDA from cradle and goto file explorer. Goto folder where you copied this file and just tap on it . This will start unlock / repair process and you
should get Successful message ( if you have followed above instructions and checed your RADIO VERION.)

7) AFTER YOU HAVE DONE THIS, CLICK ON O2 ICON AT THE TOP, AND TAP LINK "TURN OFF FLIGHT MODE", THIS WILL TURN OFF YOUR CONNECTION AND LITTLE CROSS WILL APPEAR NEAR CONNECTION ICON.

8.) CLICK ON CROSS AGAIN AND TAP "TRUN ON FLIGHT MODE" LINK.

9) I ALSO DID SOFT RESET AFTER THIS JUST TO MAKE SURE.

10) REMOVE SIM CARD AND TRY SIM CARD APART FROM O2 AND WE WILL ADD ONE MORE HAPPY USER TO OUR FORUM !!! JUST LIKE ME .........

IF IT DOESNT WORK FOR YOU THEN :- :roll: :( :idea: :?:
1) CHECK YOUR RADIO VERSION AGAIN
2) POST ALL DETAILS TO THIS FORUM SO WE CAN HAVE A LOOK.
3) DETAILS TO POST, ANY ERRORS REPORTED, ANY STRANGE BEHAVIOUR, AND ALL YOUR DEVICE INFORMATION.

ANY QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME, BUT QUESTIONS WITHOUT DEVICE INFORMATION ARE DIFFICULT RATHER IMPOSSIBLE TO ANSWER EVEN MY FRIEND *** W4XY **** WILL AGREE THAT .

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6963&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) CLICK ON >> START >> SETTINGS >> SYSTEM TAB >> DEVICE INFORMATION

2) NOTE YOUR RADIO VERSION. (THIS IS THE MOST IMP THING TO DECIDE WHICH SOFTWARE YOU NEED ) :!: :!: :!:

3) IF ITS 1.05.12 USE OLDER METHOD ON THIS FORUM WHICH REQUIRES HARD BOOT OF XDA.

4) IF ITS 1.05.12A, 1.05.14, 1.06.00, 1.06.01, 1.08.00, 1.10.00 OR HIGHER LIKE MINE WAS 1.17.00 USE NEW METHOD WHICH DOES NOT NEED @@ hard reset @@ :P

5) you cand download file for new methods from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6963&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=1f96d58027195601bc5ae45d6382cf2a

6) method #1 ( xda2unlock-setup-v2.2.exe ) will install this program on your device via activesync.
but method #2 is easy and fast , download ( xda2unlock-v2.2.exe ) binary file and copy it to your device via active sync . after copying take out XDA from cradle and goto file explorer. Goto folder where you copied this file and just tap on it . This will start unlock / repair process and you
should get Successful message ( if you have followed above instructions and checed your RADIO VERION.)

7) AFTER YOU HAVE DONE THIS, CLICK ON O2 ICON AT THE TOP, AND TAP LINK "TURN OFF FLIGHT MODE", THIS WILL TURN OFF YOUR CONNECTION AND LITTLE CROSS WILL APPEAR NEAR CONNECTION ICON.

8.) CLICK ON CROSS AGAIN AND TAP "TRUN ON FLIGHT MODE" LINK.

9) I ALSO DID SOFT RESET AFTER THIS JUST TO MAKE SURE.

10) REMOVE SIM CARD AND TRY SIM CARD APART FROM O2 AND WE WILL ADD ONE MORE HAPPY USER TO OUR FORUM !!! JUST LIKE ME .........

IF IT DOESNT WORK FOR YOU THEN :- :roll: :( :idea: :?:
1) CHECK YOUR RADIO VERSION AGAIN
2) POST ALL DETAILS TO THIS FORUM SO WE CAN HAVE A LOOK.

I just did the same, unlocked my XDAII with the same software versions, popped in an Orange PAYG sim, and it worked instantly. Quick and easy. Superb.

Well done to everyone involved. :wink:

[radwangon]

This is truly a thing of beauty. I worked the way anges ought to work: in pure perfection.
The Xda2unlock worked perfectly on my
ROM 1.03.00 USA
Radio 1.05.12

Thanks

[hiveuk]

I have Radio 1.05.12 and have tried everything possible. I have run the bootloader program to obtain the unlock code. I have run 1.05 & 06 unlocking programs which say the phone is unlocked but when i put a new sim in and enter my code it rejects it. It is now over 100 times that i ihave tried to do it. What can i do next?
Any help would be appreciated - i dont have much hair left to pul out.
ps - trying to unlock it from O2 if that makes a difference.

[windowsdan]

Just put this file on your device using a memory card or active sync and run it. No formatting or doing anything...
Just makes your unlocking code 8 zeros in 2secs!!!

It makes it even stay unlocked after a Hard Reset.

Hi,

When i run the tool on my XDA IIs, it appears like it goes on reading the first block endlessly. I almost waited for 1/2 hour. This may be because when tried to put the XDA on the bootloader/hard reset the screen dint grey out but windoes mobile screen came up asking me to tap the screen. Am i doing something wrong. Please let me know asap.

Thanks in advance.

i had a prob with this updated version on my xda2s but somone posted teh link to teh old version, that worked perfectly, u may try hunting that out, it ran teh file and them about 30-40 seconds later told me it was unlocked, but up till then my phone looked like it was doing nothing.

[james21170]

I have tried all of the software for unlocking the phone yet when i run the unlocker, it seems to unlock the phone, ie i get a signal but when i try to make a call it waits for a few seconds with dialing out and then ends the call.
Can anyone help.

The unlock software unlocks the phone and asks for the unlock code of 8 zero's to be put in, it returns with the prompt that the phones unlocked yet i get no service.

Thanks.

ps sorry its an XDA2s so if theres any for this model i would be greatful.Thanks

[cryptonomicon]

obtained a used Xda II from Ebay (on the cheap), but it was locked ... no problemo, as this xda2unlock program worked perfectly from my 64 bit XP machine to the Xda II via the cradle.

wanted to look at the source code, and tried the source link (http://xda-developers.com/xda2/xda2unlock.zip), but it failed ... is there an updated link somewhere? if you have a link, please send it to cryptonomicon.REMOVETHIS@ANDTHIS.phreaker.net

thanks in advance for any clues !!

[markhudson]

This happens when you dont disable the USB in active sync connection settings

Hi Im fairly new here, anyhow I used the new unlock tool which worked perfectly until the end of the second block read then states (not precise text) "Your PDA would seem to be already unlocked" and finishes. But when I restart everything and insert the new sim (virgin network) network locked - and it asks for the network code. What am I missing ? My current setup 1.72.00WWE, 03/15/04, 1.17.00, Prot 1337.28, Ext rom 1.72.187

[Necky]

ROM Date: 01/27/05

Hi.

Here are my device details:

Operator Version: 3.66.1.200
Rom Version: 1.66.00.WWE
Rom date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.10.00

I'd like to both Unlock the sim card and Unprotect the Extended Rom. I have downloaded xda2unlock files to my pc, but cannot copy them to the PDA because it is protected.

Many thanks in advance.
