Please help with old PW10B1

[asvaran]

My friend bought long time ago; on ebay. Appears sim-locked.

Now i'm trying to help him in unlocking, i have read lot of treads, and tryed several programs, but still no luck.

Can you guys please help me and advise how to ulock the phone.

Configuration is:
T-Mobile pw10b1
MS Pocket PC v.3.0.12039 (buid 11178)
ROM 3.08.10 ENG (07/11/02)
Radio 6.02
Protocol 324e4
Bootloader 5.15

Network adapters:
AsyncMac1 NDISWAN Adapter
NE2000 Compatible Ethernet driver
PPTP1 NDISWAN Adapter

What I did:

using this page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_Unlock2

-Installed ActiveSync from MS site;
-Backup the ROM to SD and to PC using XDATools;
-Tryed to flash bootloader with 'pnewbootloader bootloader_v5_15.nb0' but it returns an error 'Unable to find flash info offset, cannot disable bootloader writeprotect'
?? May be it's because i'm already on 5.15 bootloader?

-then i tried to Install the 'XDA-Developers Special Edition ROM 1.2' but error said that BIOS is for pw10A1, not mine.
?? where can i get Special ROM for pw10b1?

-then i'm tried to go to http://www.romkitchen.de/, but didn't use the ROM because not sure if works (phone is not mine). Which ROM to use, will WM2003 SE work on mine phone? Will it remove SIMlock?

- i'm reading about the XDAunlock program, on web said: Please note that XDAunlock will only work on device with a PPC2002 ROM that has the Wireless Modem feature. Do I have PPC2002? Do I have Wireless Modem?

Thank you in advance for help!

ps is it possible to get unlock-code some where? Upgrading ROM can be too risky (phone is not mine...)

First of all, since you have already backuped the ROM of the devie would you be able to send me the File?

Cocnerning XDA Special ROM. Normally faslhing that should work either for PW10A and for PW10B devices. There is a tool called adaptrom (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=adaptROM) that can be used for flashing.

But I´m not quite sure if this ROM will work for unlocking the device. The Radio Stack of the device is also quite old. But you can give it a try. Securest way for flashing is via SD-Card.

Done this hundred of times already.....

I put my ROM:
http://rapidshare.de/files/38022282/rombackup2.nbf.html

Also, I put XDA-developers Special Edition ROM - just copied NK.nbf file onto SD-card using XDA tools.

But XDAunlock didn't run on xda boot... but i found this file in \Windows\ directory and run manually - and it's WORKS!

THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP!!!

After that I upgraded Radio to 6.24.00 (no sure I this would remove sim-lock, didn't test; hope this version is stable/better that my previous 6.02)

Now i need to find a way to install dual-lauout (Russian) and to install some good Media Player (with avi, mp3, mov, wma and 3gp) - can you give me any advices?

Thanks again for all your activities and for your site!

ps forgot to ask - my devise became pw10A1, not pw10B1, is there are any risks with that?
