AT&T SX56 with Weird ROM

[ruben00]

I have the AT&T SX56 with

ROM VERSION : A.20.11 ENG
ROM DATE: 3/3/03
RADIO VERSION: A.20.05
PROTOCOL VERSION: 324e4

I tried the XDAunlock tool and it didnt work,

the boot screen shows pocket pc 2002,

So i Dont understand why im getting the "Error getting unlock code"

can anybody tell me if i need to downgrade first, or upgrade, or what!!

my steps are to:

Get the Unlock Code and also Unlock the Phone

then Upgrade to Pocket PC 2003

Any help would be appreciated!

Sometimes the XDAunlock tool didn't work for SX-56 especially with A20 ROM ... it's better to flash your ROM using SER v1.2 and it will unlock your xda with the first boot ... then you can upgrade later to WM2003

That did the trick....

A20 seems to be a newer version of 2002 and does not work well with XDA unlock...

for those of you looking to unlock your phones out there...USE THE XDA SER 1.2 (Special Edition Rom)...

It will Downgrade your Rom to version 3 (dont be affraid of the word downgrade, its painless) and once it restarts, it will ask you to unlock, and VOILA... you are ready to roll

Thanks XDA Dev Team, you guys Rock...

Now we just need a 850Mhz hack, and us Cingular users will be set :D
