New XDA User - Massively confused.

[edolson678]

I'll try to keep it short.

Lost T-Mobile PDA. Bought an unlocked (I assume) AT&T SX56 off EBay.

Will not Active sync. Don't know why.

SIM will not register. Also asks for 4-8 char password which I do not have.

Phone recognizes T-Mobile Signal, but ignores SIM. Says emergency calls are possible, but I do not want to call 911 to check.

Lots of XDA software is already installed and operating.

So for those are the main issues. Hope this is the right area to post.
Looked around for answers for a couple of hours, with no luck.

Any suggestions?

Ummm As far as i know the xda's software blocks anything but O2 simcards.

I think the answer is to wipe the Xda's data, and install a non-branded verson of windows mobile '03.

I'm sure theres one on this forum somewhere, or someone will know where to get one.
