Unlock SIM (Pocket PC Phone Edition)

[bm_t]

Hey Guys,

My friend gave me a pocket pc with phone edition. When I tried to insert my sim card it asked me to the unlock code. My friend used this mobile for T-Mobile sim card in US.


Here is the ROM Versino: 4.01.16 ENG
ROM Date: 02/04/04
Radio Version: 6.25.02
Protocol Version: 324e4

After typing my PIN code it asks me to unlok the sim.

What can I do to resolve this problem

Thanks,

Try the XDA unlock tool. You can find it on the website.
I have unlocked tmobile using that tool. However if it gives you problems unlocking.... I would suggest installing the xda rom and then try.

I am going to unlock a new Tmobile on tuesday. If this does not work you can get in touch with me on any chat and I will walk you through the process.

lemme know if you need anymore help.

Cheers!

Thanks Diki for your reply.

I have tried XDA Unlock and XDA2Unlock but failed.

When I tried XDA2Unlock it reports some error like COM2 0X..... (Hex #)

You have seen my ROM version and Radio version. How do i install new xda rom .
I only have the USB cable. Do I need a serial cable?

thanks

As much as i know, it will not work for you to unlock your device.
xda2unlock is only for the second Version of XDA (MDA II, MDA II,...), so you have to use the xdaunlock tool.
there are several postingsa, that unlocking will fail with your radioversion.
Maybe they have changed the code in this version.
There is a guy (cgigate) that promise he is able to repair and unlock all devices, but personal i don't believe this.
i believe changing ROM will not change anything. But you can try it. Look for the XDA deelopsers special ROM 1.2 or use the 3.17.03 ROM and the unlock tool.
But flashing a device could be dangerous.
Changing the radioversion is also possible, but the risc to end ata paperweight is very high...

Hello LumpiStefan,

Where do I found 3.17.03 ROM. I have tried in your site(Romkitchen) but I couldn't able to download.

http://lumpistefan.dynsdns.org

After selecting the ROM and some additional softwares, I clicked the 'Build Rom Now' Button but nothing comes.

Can you help me with this?

Cooking process works well for me.
Maybe you have to wait a few minutes more.
Cooking process can be up until 5 minutes.....
Otherwise try again the Build Rom now button....

Hello LumpiStefan,

I have tried serveral times but I couldn't able to download the ROM.

Do I have to register or download some other application to download your ROM.

Here is what I did to download the ROM

After Entering ur site LumpiStefan, http://lumpistefan.dynsdns.org
I clicked PPC 2002 and select 3.17.03 with XDA developers (Default ).
and clicked 'Build Rom Now' button.

When I clicked 'Build Rom Now' button, the only thing that changes is the graphs (right hand side of the page). I have tried many times but only the graphs changes.

Did I miss something (some procedures or .....)

thank you for ur time

After clicking cook rom you should have the option to specify where to download it.

You can try http://xda.weblink.net or use http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe to download the xda developers ROM based on 3.17.03 including the unlock tool....

I think you're the first guy that has problem to download a rom from the kitchen.
What for browser are you using? Have you ever tried another ROM?

Hi LumpiStefan,

Thanks for ur reply.

I have checked both sites (i.e http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ and http://xda.weblink.net)

I have tried also another rom but the same problme. I have tried to download the rom from Linux and win XP pc.

I have aslo downloaded http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
but when I executed this file from my win XP machine ( I have connected my XDA through USB cable and installed ActiveSync 3.7.1) it reports error (something like Unable to find the XDA Please connect Serial/USB cable)

I'm really really stuck with this phone

thanks

Hello Folks,

I have seen a post in form.xda-develpers.com that this file http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe
will not work because my phone (i.e PC2003) (the adaptROM is not compatible with PC2003)

He said the only option to Unlock the SIM is only using this xdarit.exe application. Since my SD is 8 MB, I can't load the ROM with this space.

As far as I have seen the situation, my only option is getting the serial cable.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks

Get the serial cable.

Hi,

Every time I run "XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe" I get a message, error getting data, and then the program close.

plz advise. thanks

I had the same error. I read somewhere on one of these posts that
there was some capatibility between Programme A.exe and Activesync 3.7.1.

Apparently you could downgrade your activesync version or use XDATools to push the nk.nbf file down to an SD card and flash from there. Use winzip or something else to extract all the files in the SER installation exec. In the English folder you'll find the NBF file to use.

In XDATools put this as the Source, target is the SD card in the device. Go to bootloader utilities (power+soft reset and maybe press contacts) and depending on your bootloader version it may detect you have a flash image on your SD card. Follow the instructions on the pda to flash the rom.

Hi rhodwyn,

Thank you for your support, but still I cannot downgrade my "BootLoader" to "5.15" with every boot I'm geeting "5.22" even after loading the spocial edition ROM.

Also, I cannot find (XDArit & Wallaby bootloader version 5.15 files) in the neet.

Please advice.

Thanks.
