Hiya, :roll: :roll:

I start off by sincerely apologising; this is another one of those already posted items but I just can't seem to resolve this problem.

I have read through many of the already existing posts within this forum and tried the remedies suggested, but still I am having no success with my below problem. Does anyone out there have a bedtime solution for my re-ocurring nightmare.

These are my Hardware specifications:
PC: Running Wins 2000 Pro
Device: PW10B1
Pocket PC: WM2003
ROM: 4.01.16ENG
ROM DATE: 02/04/04
Radio Version: 6.25.02

I have just recently purchased a (Wallaby) T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition from the USA for usage in the UK. I understand from reviewing this website that the model I have is GSM900/1900. I currently use a T-Mobile SIM here in the UK but I have since learnt that T-Mobile runs on GSM1800, therefore I have two options:

1.) Try and change the Band to 1800 in order to use the current T-Mobile SIM or
2.) Unlock this device in order to use an O2 SIM which runs on GSM900.

I have already obtained a NEW O2 SIM but when I put it in the device it says SIM Lock; Please input unlock code: SID:.

I have contacted T-Mobile first in order to see whether I can simply receive the unlock code; but unfortunately these Fat Cat; Blue Chip Companies do well on the Stock Market but don't do as well when it comes to resolving the little man's difficulties, such as this one.

Hence therefore; I have tried to follow the guide within: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UnlockWiz

But had no success, I then tried http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_Unlock2

Again to no sucsess; simply because I could not access DOS within my Wins 2000 Pro.

I do not know where to start and how to go about resolving this; I have already downloaded the following onto my Desktop on my PC:

ActiveSYNC version 4.71.1015.0
Bandswitch WCE version 1.0.0.1
XDAtools
XDA-developers-SER-v12
RSU_V6.24.20_PPC
XDAunlock version 1.0.0.1

If anyone out there can SEE what it is that I am doing wrong or it is blatantly obvious to what I should be doing, I would be most highly grateful for any suggestions and or remedies either; for fixing the unlocking issue or fixing the GSM band issue.

Thanking you kindly in advance.

Further update to my above problem :shock:

I can confirm that the device has 'Wallaby Bootloader 5.15' installed, so therefore I tried to carry on from the explanations found on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_Unlock2

I have since connected my device via the USB cradle and then tried to install the XDA Special Edition ROM v1.2 but everytime I try to execute within the C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe box, it has this error message:

"ERROR: GetConnetctionType-Unspecifiederror"
"error getting connectiontype"

then the 'Programme A v1.09' appears, it takes me through from Step 1 to Step 2 but then when I click next this message appears:

"Error011: EXECUTE REMOTE COMMUNICATION PROGRAMME cannot execute the remote communication program make sure the USB is connected"

The USB is connected at it is Synchronizing my device without any problems.

Can anyone help me from this stage please.

Thank you.

You have to downgrade your ROM via SD-Card....
Extract the XDA-Developers ROM EXE file with winzip or something similiar. Than you get a file NK.nbf (about 32 MB) This is the ROM
Than follow this:
