tnx for the reply!. does my xda specification qualify to be unlocked using xdaunlock? i haven't tried unlocking some smart phones, its my first try. does it involve any reprogramming the bios or something? thnx!

and follow the steps.

Thats all.

then you need to flash your ROM with SER v 1.2 (www.xda-developers.com/SER/) which will unlock your device with the first boot

I'm trying to unlock my old XDA, I have foolwed the instructions given on this site but nothing seems to work......HELP!!!!!

The device information is as follows:

ROM version: 3.17.03 ENG
ROM date: 05/15/03
Radio version: 4.20.00
Protocol version: 32554

Trying it via the USB sync.

Any suggestions??

I have read and read and read the forum on how to unlock my XDA 1 (XDA II was a sinch!) but the XDA 1 is causing problems. I started with the error below and tried upgrading my ROM - getting error messages on not being able to unlock and that I needed W Modem.

Can upgrade using SER 1.2 without a unix box, then unlock all using the USB cradle?

Hope someone can explain in even more simple terms

Appreciate it!

I notice that ser 1.2 works with TMobile in the USA but doesnt say anything about ATT Wireless.

Should I infer that the ser 1.2 isnt a good idea then?

My PocketPCPE is :
ROM:A.30.09
Rom Date: 01/01/04
Radio version: A.33.02
Protocol version: 1.3.3

Unit is a wallaby PW10B1

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Flash your xda using ser 1.2, this will unlock the xda, I suggest backing up your existing rom to sd card or using xdatools, once you have flashed the xda you can then restore your original rom using the sd card method. Using sd card method overcomes any country id/incompatible rom errors.
A Unix box is not needed, just a standard pc.

Flashing with SE1.2 isn't always enough. I've got an XDA-1 from T-Mobile that shipped with the following:

ROM 4.01.16ENG
RS 6.25.02

Flashing it to SE1.2 worked fine, but the XDAUnlock gave same "Error...unlock code" msg others have seen.

I'm very hesitant to get into RS flashing (for obvious reasons) but there really doesn't seem to be any other way around it in this case. Then again, I worry even that won't really solve the problem (e.g. if I go back to 6.25.02 RS won't the problem potentially just return?).

Hoping for some help unlocking it without RS flashing.

You could try xda manipulator and a serial cable, otherwise I think radio stack will need to be changed, before doing ANYTHING with the radio stack please read on this forum all the problems you may encounter, hopefully there will be a solution for you among these pages.
