Subject: XDA unlocked !!!
From: XDA developers

It is with pride and utter insanity that we announce the release
of XDA manipulator. The XDA manipulator allows one to unlock SID
and GID locks, reset the call duration counters and change the
IMEI of the XDA/MDA/SX56/...
You'll need a serial cable. See the page for disclaimer and
warning. Enjoy.

I only have the USB crade and not the serial connector.
Will you be making a version of the SW that supports USB or IR?
I dont recall a serial cable coming with the XDA pack. Where
would you typically get one?
Thank you very much

The retail O2 shops sell a basic range of xda accessories at
reasonable prices. This includes serial cradle.
Phone your local outlet or try online at wws.o2.co.uk.

Hi,
When i go in bootloader mode what have i to do next, because how
do i enter ""dualser'" and can i type something?
Best Regards,
Eric
Even without this tool, some of these things are pretty easy
once you know the trick. For instance, if you just put the XDA
in bootloader mode and enter "dualser", followed by
"AT%UREG?3FE00C,4", you will see the SID unlock code. More news
about all the things we've learned will be available soon on our
GSM research page.

Subject: Unlock: serial only (for now)
From: XDA developers
Date: 11 Jan, 2003 20:11:06
At present, we do not have a method of taling to the modem once
Windows CE (a.k.a. Pocket PC) is running. This has to do with
the fact that TAPI, a part of Windows, has opened the port, and
one can only talk to the modem "through" TAPI.
We're working on this problem, unlocking being only one of the
reasons. No predictions as to the when, so if you wish to use
Manipulator's functionality today, you must get a serial cable.
You can issue some of the commands that this tool is issuing "by
hand", but again, only when using a serial cable. This is what
we meant when we talked about "dualser": this is a command for
the bootloader which is entered through the serial port."

From: ansaar

Somewhere you mentioned that OFFICIAL rom upgrade software
sometimes does all kinds of checks on the device before
upgrading.
- will unlocking the ROM possibly stop you receiving an official
upgrade?
- will the unlocked ROM be re-locked via a new ROM upgrade?
Subject: It all works...
From: XDA developers

Mitnick: yes, manipulator will work fine with 64 MB XDA
ansaar: Unlocking the phone will have no negative consequences,
and no upgrade will turn the locks back on. It's just like
buying the unlock code from a provider and entering it.

After downloading and installing HyperACCESS (and communicating
with COM port of XDA) I tried using the Manipulator again. This
time with success!
Thanks to all concerned.
Respect.
S.
it is possible to lock the XDA and subsequently to unlock again the XDA?
Example: unlock XDA (working) - breakdown xda (obviously it is only an example :? :x ) - :?: lock XDA :?: - repair xda - unlock again XDA :lol: :lol: :lol:
Yes it is: Put the device in bootloader mode, and connect it using a serial cable. On your PC, connect to the serial port using a terminal program set at 115200-n-8-1. At the command prompt enter "dualser" and wait for the modem command interpreter to come up. Then enter:
at%sidlck=1,xxxxxxxx
Where the 8 x's are replaced by the 8-digit code you want to lock your phone with.
Thx !

Thanx
Just got my serial cable from datanywhere yesterday, ran the manipulator & unlocked my ATT SX56. The first time it didn't do anything after entering bootloader (may be because phone was turned off before reboot), but the next time went through just fine. Tested the GSM side with Cingular SIM & it worked fine.

I wish to get to know my XDA better and you guys seem to know alot. Although I may not know much about programming and computers, I can feel that XDA-developers have acheived alot. Thats how much you guys should know what you have acomplished. Excellent WORK!!!!
As for my questions, please be patient with me and hope you will able to answer them. Thanks.
I dont get what you mean by simlock? The way i understand simlock, it is when you entered your sim pincode three times wrongly and it gets locked. Is this the same meaning? In my country Singapore, all we have to do is call our provider and they will give us an unlock code which is free of charge. Do other providers in other countries charge you for doing that?
Regarding the Simlock. With the XDA manipulator, I can unlock any simcard?? ie, any simcard that has been locked after 3 failures of incorrect password entry.
Whats the meaning of IMEI? Isnt it like an identification for the phone? If you change it, what are the implications of it? Wouldnt O2 think your phone is fake since the IMEI is not one that was produced by them?
What is ROM? I thought RAM was what I should be concerned about when upgrading. Please try to help me on this one please.
BTW, Why the hell O2 didnt employ you to develop the XDA!! Dumbasses.
can anyone tell me if they have been sucessful in unlocking
has anyone unlocked the tmobile pocket pc phone successfuly ,already????

SIMlock is the lock that locks your phone (and not the SIM) to a specific (set of) providers. This is so that they can subsidize the phone and be 'sure' you stay until the end of your contract. You can always buy (at outrageous prices), what is called an 'unlock code' to get an 'unlocked' phone.
This is not the same as what happend when you type your PIN wrong 3 times. This indeed locks the SIM, and you need what is called a 'PUK code' to get back in. You got your PUK when you got the SIM, and the provider can give it to you again if you lose it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipement Identitfier and is a hardware serial number tied to the phone, and transmitted with every call. Whether you attract attention with a chnaged IMEI depends on whether you choose an IMEI in the same range or not. Nobody really checks IMEIs, not even against a blacklist of stolen phones, as was originally intended by the GSM MoU. They use IMEI to track who is using what phones, in case people under investigation switch SIMs.

Your operating system software resides in ROM, your own files and running programs are in RAM.

Probably. The AT command (to be issued at 115200 bps in bootloader mode after entering 'dualser' is probably something like AT%LCKGID 1,xxxxxxxx. But maybe you first have to tell it what to lock to. (But then again, maybe not).
Feel free to play around, you will probably be able to use the Manipulator to get back in...
Oh, Baby!
I just received my serial cable from Moonlight Tech twenty minutes ago, made a cup of tea, put my T-Mobile XDA into bootloader mode, connected the serial cable, started the XDA manipulator, and voila! The unlock button stood out for me to press!!!! Unlocked my phone, reset my call life counter, amazing, and all in less than five minutes!
I got on a bit of a trip and unlocked my colleague's O2 64MB XDA as well, so we're both happy. Both had bootloader Wallaby v5.20, but I also performed it on an AT&T Siemens SX56 that had been sitting in my drawer for a while.
Popped in SIM cards from AT&T, Cingular, Orange, and Vodaphone (all pre-paid) and they all work!
Thanks to the hard-working guys who came up with this tool!!!!

Does anyone know of any apps which can crash a selected process,
this may be an easier way of replicating the bug.
I've tried using Easy Close to terminate the
device_identification process, but, I presume because it closes
cleanly, it just switches the phone off again. I might keep
trying whilst making a call, maybe that will work.
I'm using 3.02 ENG bios, tried the method suggested in this
forum once, but didn't manage to make the app crash.
I tried to get the unlock legitimately yesterday, and O2 said
they couldnt do it until my PAYG card was 12 months old, instead
they (or the girl on the phone) suggested I go to a dodgy petrol
station in Manchester!!! - wonder if that is they're official

From: John

I have no idea how I found this forum. I am sure I am over my
head being here, and under everyone else's but I'm really hoping
that you don't dump this, and that someone may be able to answer
my question. I feel like I accidently fell into the Star Ship.
I upgraded on my T-Mobile Pocket PC (Philadelphia area USA),
successfully shortly after it's release. Did it all according to
instructions including hard re-set.
Everything seemed to go very well afterwards.
Several days later, I was(stupidly for me) messing around in
File Explorer, found and tapped a file labelled "rsupgrage"
dated 11/25/02 w 34k".
Bang! It started a new *brief) upgrade process but with out the
requirement to hard re-set.
BTW there is a 2nd similar file marked "rsupgrade" dated
10/18/02.
.
Currently;
DEVICE INFORMATION:
ROM version: 3.14.40 ENG
ROM date: 11/26/02
Radio version: 6.18
Protocol version: 324e4
Model No: PW101B1
Platform: PocketPC
Aside from the fact that in the little box that comes up
when the phone is on there is either no carrier name or T-
Mobile name (simple lettering, no logo), I am not sure that
nothing happened to screw up the original upgrade process
which went with out a hitch.
Everything still works, I think, quite well.
I would appreciate someone checking their settings after
their upgrade and comfirming that all mine are ok. Especially
"Radio version".
Or do I have to do the whole thing all over again?
BTW, I am cured of venturing into File Explorer!

Hi,
you have accidently downloaded a radio version 4.14 which is

This is designed for 900/1800 Mhz band, not your US 1900 band.
You will have to get a Radio Stack (RS) designed for your MDA.

Subject: T-Mobile Upgrade
From: Chris
Date: 15 Jan, 2003 08:39:17
John,
Actually it sounds like you simply "re-upgraded" your Radio
Stack.
The T-Mobile USA update that's on their site includes the two
rsupgrade files (an executable and the ROM image) as files in
the CE ROM image that the main upgrade did.
Because these files are part of the ROM image, they don't take
up any space, but they do hang around (visible in File Explorer)
after the upgrade.
Basically, the part of the upgrade that happens while your phone
is on the cradle upgrades your OS, then, when you first
re-booted, that executable gets run and upgrades the Radio Stack
(what people on this forum call the GSM ROM.)
So, you didn't do anything too terribly wrong, just re-ran an
upgrade that had already happened -- and since the upgrade was
allowed to finish, your phone should be working fine. That
version is the correct T-Mobile USA version at the moment...
it's the one that shipped with the upgrade.
