Unlocking the T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition - MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading

Hi Xda Developers i have a T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition and i need to unlock the phone so i can use it back home in the Middile East and here is the information about the phone
Rom Version : 3.08.10 ENG
Radio Version: 6.02
Wallaby Bootloader 5.15
and i'm working on getting the serial cable from the website
http://datanywhere.net/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=DI&Category_Code=XDCCR
but i found there two types of serial cables
1-Serial AutoSync Cable for T-Mobile/O2 XDA Pocket PC Phone
2-RS-232 Serial Comm cable for PocketPC Phone
which one do i order for my device and would be appropriate and if i got everything needed would it work for that device and unlock my phone so i can use another SIM Card other than T-Mobile SIM Card
Can you please help me XDA Developers and thanks again for that Program and for the hard work.

I forgot to add that my country GSM network is 900Mhz and my device is 1900/900 Mhz so is it gonna work over there?

I can add that the Serial Cable on T-mobiles site worked fine for me, and I have the same settings as you on my XDA. All you have to do is just follow the simple instructions under the program download area and it takes like less than a minute. And yes thanks Guys, this program is great and really something to help us all Muc love to you all. lol

I need serious help

Ok,
So I installed the T-mobile UK radio rom on my unlocked cingular HTC 8125 with a t-mobile sim. Upon reboot I get no phone service, it acts as though the phone is shut off but it's not. On bootup when it displays the IPL/SPL and OS and all that there was a line between the IPL / SPL lines and the OS line which used to have something on it, but now it's blank. Here's the worst part, it no longer recognizes on USB or under activesync, I tried to get it to work with bluetooth using a usb bluetooth adapter, but to no avail.
I need to know if there is anyway to get it working again, anyway at all to get it to connect or something so I can install a new radio rom on it.
Please help.
Help me too
I am in exactly the same predicament. I have spent days searching for a solution. Nthing so far. Anyone?

Well,only flashing a Radio Rom,never bricks a phone,cuz it doesn't include any IPL/SPL in it Its just a bad flash.Either,Try a Soft Reset or Hard Reset,if works fine,otherwise,get the phone in bootloaders (multicolor screen) and flash the cingular official Rom,it'll recover back. The phone doesn't get detected via usb or doesn't activesync if there's no working Rom (OS) on it,but if you are able to get to bootloaders and connect the phone via usb cable, a small usb appears at the bottom of the bootloaders screen,it means it has established connectivity and you can flash a rom.
Secondly if the ohine is not SIM unlocked,it won't work with a T-mobile SIM,you'll have to get it sim unlocked if you plan to use a different sim and network.

Be a little more specific about the problem and remember to always post the version of the phone OR vital data of the phone to ask for an advise.
Cheers!
been done
yeah,
I've been able to get it into bootloaders, the usb pops up in the corner but when I try to flash a rom it it gives me a no phone connected type of error. which is really messed up because the first time I put it into bootloaders it worked, but I didn't use the official rom so the flashing didn't fix it.
If flashing the radio rom isn't supposed to brick it then well somehow mine is apparently the exception to the rule. Still gonna be working on it throughout today though, so any other suggestions?

Help me fix my wizard and I'll give you 10$

Okay I'm having problems with my wizard.
It freezes at the splash screen.
It won't hard reset "Format is Failed"
And flashing billions of roms does no good.
Here's a solution that's supposed to work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276963
but your device has to be cid unlocked wich mine aint.
And I can't unlock it with lockwiz, because it won't start up.
I could use imei-check, but don't want to pay 40$
If you follow the instructions in the link above and send me the minisd so I can reset my wizard, and it works, then I will return your minisd with a 10$ check.
Leave me a message if your interested in helping.
But, because i don't want a billion people sending me blank minisd cards I'll only pay if it works. If it don't I will still return the minsd.
Please help a guy out.
Thanks.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I faced the same situation with my wizard..The only solution is to pay the 40$. If the device is not CID unlocked it can not boot using the sd card.
I unlocked my phone using imei-check and then my wizard worked like a charm.
It is simple: If you do not pay for the CID unlocker your WIZARD will rest in peace for ever..
Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294107
Maybe your SD is to blame. Try it without the SD and you may get lucky. If it works I would format the SD card before rebooting the phone.
Okay so i just realized it has to be cid unlocked even to back it up from the minisd.
So does imei check work with phones in the U.S.?
Anybody know?
bootloader?
what version of the wizard do you have? (what does the ipl/spl stuff display?)
try holding the camera button down when starting up to enter the bootloader, then connect the usb cable and flash.
Good luck!

1.Download the original/official WWE ROM from your provider's website
(you may need to register the phone with the provider online to be able to download the ROM- usually the phone registration and official ROM download is free)
The WWE ROM allowes the device to be reflashed - even if the phone is CID locked.
2.Connect the phone to any XP machine using USB
3.Start the phone in bootloader mode (3 colord band with IPL/SPL in top left and USB in bottom left will be displayed)
To start in boot loader mode -->Press and hold the camera button, simultaneously press the soft reset button with stylus.
[Soft reset push button is located in the middle of camera button and infrared port (close to infrared port)]
4. Re-flash the phone by running the dowanloaded ROM from USB connected XP machine.
Hope this helps.
I earn 10 pound men
I have your answer BUY A NEW ONE!!!!!!
hahahahaha
Like ungry dogs huh?! 10 pounds .-.- 10 pounds
If you can get your phone into the bootloader(hold camera then soft-reset), you could try to flash it with:
ftp://xda:[email protected]__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe
maybe that will work, if its flashed successfully you can cid unlock your phone, good luck.

plz help

My heads spinning from all the information aka post and threads, but im still stuck like my wizard on the 2nd splash screen.
I wasnt trying to upgrade the rom jst clear storage but after everything ive read i would like to upgrade to wm6 but first i want to get my wizard working.
I tried backing up the rom to the sd card but I get "You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image" So i take it my wizard is cid locked.
My IPL:1.01 and SPL:1.06 does that mean its a g3. My activesync 4.5 doesnt pick up my wizard is it because it cant boot, i tried with it in bootloader mode still doesnt pick it up.
So plz point me in the right direction to fix my wizard
ok i think the place where im stuck at is cid unlocking my wizard with out using that imei site. any help or is there another way to do this.
This helped me when I was stuck on the first screen. For some reason, the Radio file was gone. Follow this exactly, it works. In my case (sounds like yours also), at the end of this you will at least have access to the phone again.

After your done. You will have a RGB screen, then follow these directions to load a base rom and unlock so you can keep going until you ca load WM6.1.

I've had many, many problems over the last 3 days trying to do this. I completed it all in less than a day, but when I used the phone it had terrible reception. I completely downgraded everything back to square one. Still bad phone reception. I was about to through it out the window, when someone called my wife's cell phone and she also had bad reception. I then put my sim in another phone, same problem. Well, at&t has a tower down for the last 3 days. What timing, it seems to work when not at home, but hard to test that way Anyway, moral of the story is. Don't give up, keep plugging along.
Good luck.
I'm pretty sure imei checker is for SIM unlocking.
For G3 CID unlocking and upgrading read the stickies in http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=289
If you can start your Wizard in bootloader, and it says "usb" in the lower-left, you can flash your original ROM. An active sync connection is not needed. Search for your carrier's ROM if you don't have it and I'd recommend the "no carrier ID" version of the RUU.
Have you tried a 'Hard Reset',hope it'll work,if it boots up into working OS and it already has IPL/SPL 1.xx,use lokiwiz02b tool to SIM/CID unlock the phone and than upgrade.
If it doesn't work still after Hard Reset,most probably,its Extended_Rom is corrupted,its required to reflash a new rom.
Activesync doesn't work in absence of a working OS and in Bootloaders mode.Its not required for flashing a rom.Just get the phone into Bootloaders and hook the phone with pc via usb cable and watch small usb appear at the bottom of the bootloader screen,if its there,it good to go and flash the rom.
ok so i downloaded the button rom finally but how do i flash it to my wizard.
Get your phone in Bootloaders,hook up the phone with pc via usb,watch small usb appear at the bottom of the Bootloader screen,if its there run the 'RUU' application,it'll start to flash,it stops at a certain percentage,don't get worried and do anything,after a couple of minutes it starts again,let it complete 100%,the phone'll restart and boot up in new OS.
which ruu application. I jst downloaded 1 which comes in the form of a rar file saying ruuwrapper. is that the right 1
So after lots and lots and lots more reading i realized i dont need a ruu. all i need to do is get into bootloader mode plug in the usb and run the wizard button rom. It worked perfectly my wizard is back to life yip pee.
Anyway i wud jst like to thank u guys for all the help and compliment u guys on a gr8 forum.
Now my next challenge is wm6 with touch flo.
