Hi,
I'm new to all this. I just got my first XDA and i need to unlock my sim code. I'm not sure how to do all this unix stuff. Is there anyone with all this done. And could they send me a copy so i can flash it to my rom?
My Rom ver. is 3.14.13 if thats any help
Also is this rom version too early for the XDAunlock tool?
Thanks
Seek and ye shall find
Your best bet is to search through the relevant posts (its a long and laborious job) but you will find what you are after.
Also look at the Rom Kitchen and you will be able to 'cook' your own rom and then flash it via your cradle. I do not have a Unix machine but the kitchen will create an exe for you to download.
As for sending you one, I doubt it as the rom is usually about 15Mb in size and so is a no no. Get to the kitchen, start cooking and enjoy the fruits of the XDA gurus labours.
As a word of warning some people may not be so forthcoming with info as they prefer people to search for their answer before posting. Just to let you know and prevent annoyance with regular posters
Goddame, go to : http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen
It's the easiest way, you can cook there your ROM, and after download it ,even as an .exe.
Just be carefull to read the different choices, depending on the ROM you choose first . (don't choose a T-Mobile one if you're not with T-Mobile . I have an O2 XDA UK , and I choose 4.0011 ENG WM 2003, all is OK , before I had upgrade the RSU -> 4.21 on the O2 site
You should read the different threads about that on the forum, so you can have the feed back of others, what to do...or not, problems, etc....
Thanks for your help.. I should have looked around a bit more. I have had a look at the ROm Kitchen and it makes things alot easyer. I keep looking about for more info.
Thanks again.
There is a tool to unlock your XDA made by the super guys here .. check the Unlock forum ... Hint: it doesn't work with ROM 4.xx

Does that mean that if I have a Locked O2 XDA and I install 4.00.11 ENG WM2003, my phone will still be locked?
Also, can I upgrade my O2 XDA 3.15.15 ENG to 4.00.11 ENG WM2003?????
Thanks Amit

Correct. First cook a ROM based on 3.17.03, unlock the phone using XDAunlock from Start/Programs/Phone., and then run the installer exe for a ROM based on 4.00.11 (for instance).

Yes you can.
Thanks Lads I've updated my XDA no problem.
I got a update to 3.17.03 from O2s website then cooked me a Rom update to 4.00.11 WM2003 in the Rom Kitchen.
The only problem i have now is that vodafone won't give me the settings for there GPRS connection because the phone isn't a vodafone autorised phone. Does any one have the settings for vodafone in Ireland? If so please forward them.
Thanks

This is the very essence of silliness. "I want to pay you money to use the service your business is about providing." "No, you're not authorized to pay us money to use the service our business is about providing."
lol
I got on to vodafone a gave them loads. So they put me onto there data support and he emailed me the settings and it worked. Why do you have to go through so much s**t to get what you want off companies like these????
Any how it's working fine.
Thanks everyone for your help!!
My XDA is running perfect :lol:

yes...the only versions you cant upgrade or downgrade using the exe file is Tmobile ROMS
the 4.00.10 and 4.00.16
the others can upgrade using exe...
Hi ...
I cooked and downloaded a ROM 4.00.11 and tried to upgrade a Qtek 1010 ... the XDA restarts and and error message tells that "Can't open USB/com port ......". Some one here said it's normal and that I have to redo it many times. I tried it over 10 times and the same is still happening.
Do I miss something ??
Thanks.

Hi Biso007,
Look at the IDIOTS GUIDE at:
http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3171
and follow the instructions thoroughly one by one and you can't go wrong, it did work for me, I was in the same situation.
:wink:
Hi Ritmo ...
Thanks for guiding me to the IDIOTS guide :lol:
May be I should have mentioned that I wanted to use the easy way ... without the headache of SD cards and BootLoader !! .... :roll:
I thought the EXE method was made for the IDIOTS like me ... but seems I need more learning and money to be become an IDIOT
Any more help plz ......

It's dead simple... I was scared like you are, but if you follow the instructions as they are, you will see that you are not any more of an IDIOT than the rest of us.
In the begining I only used to play with .EXE files, there was/is no way out, so I had to resign myself to the fact of going to the next step, and blieve you me, if you do as the IDIOTS guide, not as bad as you may think.
The SD card and the Reader are not that expensive...
:wink:
Hi Ritmo ...
Does it mean to totally give up the EXE method :?:
Now I wonder if it did ever work for any one here ... or it works in certain conditions ??
The .EXE ones only works for NON T-Mobile ROMs. If by 'mistake' you get a T-Mobile ROM, then you have got to use the .NBF or .NB1 upgrade/downgrade. After that, if you download NON T-Mobile ROMs than you can carry on palying with the .EXE ones...
Hope it helps.
:wink:

actually, I still have my original ROM 3.18 as I couldn't upgrade in any way
Now I'm thinking to cook the 3.17 one ... may it will work and be the base for further upgrade ... any advice ???
Hi ya fellas.
I upgraded my XDA 02 UK pda to 4.00.05 and am fairly happy with its stability. A few probs with the backlight going off, but nothing much really. Windows Media 2003 is class.... encoding films with windows media codec 9 is a joy and they work every time...no codec conflictions, cache settings etc, and the quality is cool.
However, i wish to get a plain (i.e. No added cooked programs) ROM.
I could use Yorchs kitchen to cook up a plain 4.00.05 ROM again, but would rather give 4.0.0.16 ago. It's labled as a T-Mobile USA rom... I however have a UK o2 model xda. If i download the GSM 800/1800 changer utility with it, should it work ok?
Also, will this ROM update my radio stack. I'm currently running 4.21 (the official latest update for o2 uk xda's)... i dont mind if it does update it, but compatability wise, what odds am i running of it working ok?
Ive got an SD reader/writer and have a backup of my old rom just in case i need to go back via bootloader mode.
Thanks for listening
You XDA-Developers are good people (if a little to smart for my likeing
Tony Kett.
probably none since you're only updating ROM and not radio stack.
the cleanest method is obviously using the SD.
btw ... can we have your ROM to look at ?
Thanks
Decebal
my Rom (4.00.05) is just the one thats on the yorch site (with extra apps etc).
>probably none since you're only updating ROM and not radio stack.
- So if i update to 4.00.16 from yorch's site, theres no Radio stack upgrade? and the t-mobile USA version of this 4.00.16 (thats presented on the site) will only update my OS?
http://www.yorch.net/ - if you didnt know btw.
And a bloody good site it is.
So any other O2 UK XDA users upgraded to 4.00.16 or above? (4.00.21)?
I know your out there :!:
updating to v4.00.16 in the uk on a uk device will make you loose the ability to use orange/one2one in the xda as 1800mhz will be replaced with a none working 1900mhz
meaing your phone will have a 1800/900mhz radio but 1900/900mhz software which cant control the radio properly.
use v4.00.05 or v4.00.11(best option) so that you can use all uk networks.
4.00.11 ?
where can we get 4.00.11 ?
the rom kitchens :|
th 4.0.0.11 rom is not available on Yorch Kitchen.
It was on Jeff's Kitchen but the site is down.
Could some one upload the rom 4.0.0.11 on a server to share??
regards,
Yann
gazzaman2k... exactly the answer i was looking for. Cheers Mate.
Now to find a 4.00.11 Rom
Your right, yorch doesnt have that one. Anyone fancy hosting it.... or if possible, email me it at [email protected]
Cheers People,
Tony
So I take it that its not possible to change the 1900/900 to 1800/900 on those newer t-mobile roms (4.0016 & above)? No changer utility? Cant do it in the bootloader :?:
Dammit.
Just out of curiosity, what is the latest unofficial radio stack that people in the UK are using.
The 4.21 official one has been out for quite a while now, but ive seen no unofficial updates to this :?:
Tony
Ajektt, ther is an official update to the 4.21 Radio Stack it's the 4.21.X1
I have it installed, I don't see mutch difference, maybe a better signal mesure.
Doese some one have the 4.00.11 Rom?? I could host it if some one sends it.
Yann
actually with 4.00.21 comes 6.24.00 RSU.
Who wants it ... pm me ... or you can find it at yorch's site.
I need the 4.00.11 too.
Decebal
decebal, we are talking about o2 uk xda compatible radio stacks and os.
4.00.21 and 6.24 RSU Uses 1900/900 GSM ranges, not 1800/900 from what i've been told above in the forum.
Tony
will people pack it in emailing me for v4.00.11 yeah i have it but its cooked especially for my xda meaning the ecurity rom was cooked also :evil: if i had a plain version id be happy to share but as i dont i wont share the version i got as the rom contains my name+details and phone numbers ect.... hence why i havent uploaded it to my webspace and shared :shock:
Thank you gazzaman2k!! We understand you can't share your cooked version.
Maybe Jeff still hase in his archive an uncooked 4.00.11 version of the rom?
Could Yorch include it in his kitchen??
Dose some one has a uncooked version or a cooked version of the 4.00.11 rom with out the security option?
fair enough gazza 8)
We need to harass Yorch to get it up on his superb kitchen. I think we have our work cut out though, because he's getting requests left, right and centre for things on there, which is pretty harsh on him (and his team)
If anyone does manage to get the nbf file, so i can dump it in an .exe install that would be great
for all those concerned about the ROMs on Yorch.net:
Well, for those who know me know that I am about to get married in 2 months, and I just moved with my fiancee to a new apartment. Before moving, I sold EVERYTHING, that includes my 3 desktops pc (including my main PC), and my desk. Since my the new apt, is not that big, I chose not to buy me a desktop, but a laptop, by the way, the laptop that I just bought is the HP pavillion zd7000 series custom made for me :wink: , 3.06ghz of sheer power....arhhh, arhhhh, arhhh <----[trying to imitate Tim Allen]
Anyway, you problably know what that means, right, I've been without a home PC for the last 2 weeks, and I'm scheduled to recieve my new laptop by next week (hopefully), so no changes to the websites, and no changes, really, if you can get smart people to figure out the changes for me, I'm sure I could do them online or from my work computer, but in the meanwhile, I can't do anything......so stop harrasing me with the 4.00.11 rom already! 8) .
hahaha
Consider the harrisment stopped.
Enjoy your move... i moved 2 weeks ago and im still aching

If anyone can host the 4.00.11 Rom, i can send it via Email.
Got it in nb1 format, so it should work.
Played few weeks ago little bit with the kitchen, but didn´t get it really working. Maybe because my computer is too slow.
Regards
Stefan
can we get the 4.00.11 plain rom out of the nb1 file (nbf?)?
If so we should then be able to cook another rom on yorch's site (i.e. a 4.00.05 one), build it as an .exe. Then once we have the exe, we should be able to drop the 4.00.11 file in to replace the 4.00.05 one that we cooked...no?
But can u extract stuff from nb1's?
Somebody plz help. Got a XDA 1 (A Version), and have Rom Version 3.17.03 ENG, and Radio Version 4.21.00. I am on the Vodafone (UK) Network and want to upgrade phone to new 2003 software. Is it capable of being done yet, and if so, what files do i need (or a link plz). Many Many thanx to all those who reply. Regards, Ronnie[/b]
www.yorch.net and please scan around the forum before attemting anything that may kill your pda.
thanx for the reply, i have been to that site but not sure which files to use/download. Any info appreiated, thanx, Ronnie
1. Go to the kitchen option on the left side menu. Select the base for your new cooked ROM ... ex: 4.00.05, or 4.00.16 ... etc
2. You should see the top screen gauge in red. That means you have to check and uncheck some of the s/w contents untill it's green.
3. Select the EXE method and wait till it's "cooked" then down load the ROM file. Connect your XDA to your PC using the cradle and run the EXE and follow the instructions.
4. IMPORTANT: better to have a backup on SD card befor starting just in case.
Good luck ...
Thanx, will that work ok with the A model?? :lol:
It worked for me. The difference between A and B is significant only for RSU upgrades not the ROM. However, official ROM upgrades do this check as well, but the kitchen doesn't .... clever developrs!!!
Is there any chance you could send me the 4.01.00 file, can't find it anywhere. I notice you have that update on yours, and radio vers 6.24.01, do you have that available too?? Will it be ok in the uk, or am i best just using the 4.00.05 one from the kitchen, and leaving my RSU with 4.21.00 vers.
Many thanx for all your help, Ronnie :?

One very important lesson, if you have a functioning RSU, do NOT mess up with it :lol:
Got it updated thanx, works very well, but cant get active sync to work now, downlaoded v 3.7.1 and still nothing. Any ideas?? Ronnie :x
what is your device info right now ?
what type of error you get with active sync and is it on the XDA or the PC ?
Hint: try another PC to see whether it's your XDA or the PC
Device Info is:-
Rom: 4.00.05 ENG
RUU: 4.21.00
Worked fine before updating Rom, not done anything different to pc, and now it just can't find the XDA...??
Not sure why.
Ronnie :?
Do these tests in order and check the result after each:
1. soft reset
2. reinstall active sync
3. another PC
4. hard reset
many thanx for teh advice, got it sorted now, had to re-install active-sync, now works a dream, and a lot faster too. Many many thanks to Biso007 for your help, this forum is COOL

It doesn't matter which ROM you have now. Just cook any 2003 ROM there and it will put you on WM2003 (unless your device is from T-Mobile, 4.00.05 is a best choice).
Good luck
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
Where can I get the latest ROM of PPC2003?
I currently have the latest offering from O2 in the form of the PPC2002 ROM 3.17.03 ENG with Radio version 4.21.00.
I REALLY want to get the 2003 latest ROM, and also can the protocol version be updated, never see it mentioned?
I have tried yorch.net, but it never cooks the ROM for me, gets to coping ROM files and then I get a page error, tried it on a few PC's. None worked.
Jeff's site is down the this site only has a DEMO kitchen.
PLEASE DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD THE LATEST 2003 ROM FOR THE O2 XDA (IRELAND)
Thanks,
Mark
Try
ftp://tmobile:[email protected]/
You have to extract the file using zip and only use the nk.nbf file.
The exe files also includes the RSU Upgrade, but only for US-Users...
This is the newest englisch WM2003 ROM (4.01.00)
HTH
Stefan
Downloading now...
Downloading that file now, so I just extract the ROM image and not the RSU and I'm sorted. Radio Version 4.21.00 from O2 is the latest then is that correct?
What about the protocol version, can that be updated?
Also one last thing, anyone use the XDA for MMS with O2 in Ireland?
Any solutions or best idea what program to use.
EzWAP 2.5 for Xda from yorch.net is the only tool to do mms on xda1 i've come across
also i asume that mms programs the same everywhere

You can extract all the operator settings with the ROM tools and you get an "empty" ROM.
(bash setup.sh)

How?
What ROM tools and how, I'm new enough to the ROM scene.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm bascially looking to get a blank WM2003 ROM so I can configure it to suit myself and not an operator.

My device information :
Siemens SX56
ROM : A.30.09 ENG
ROM date : 01/01/04
Radio version : 4.21.00
I've read all the topic here, but nothing can't apply to unlock my Pocket PC. Can anyone help me with this ?
Thanks so much.
you can't unlock it while you have any WM2003 ROM ... you must down grade to PPC2002 ... SER v1.2 is good for that.
So can't have any solutions to unlock it ?
Cause I doesn't want to downgrade it, it's not a good way to unlock.
down grade, unlock then upgrade again
Hi,
I'm new on this forum and I see that there are very knowledgeable about the at&t siemens sx56. I just purchased one, and I intend to use it with my t-mobile service. It is un-locked with the at&t logo but I would like to sign up for e-mail and internet with t-mobile using this phone. Do I need to update/change the ROM as I've been reading on this forum, and how do I change the ROM to a t-mobile? I would also like to know all he things I need to do to make it run wih T-mobile services. Thanks in advance.
There is no need to change the rom, you can manually enter all the settings for your services once you have them from your service provider or from this forum.

thanks, how do I change the settings from At&t to the t-mobile setting. t-mobile will not give me any instructions since the sx56 is for at&t. I would appreciate it if you can provide me the setting or point me in the right direction. Thanks.

First, spend some time reading in this forum and use the search option ... then go to the kitchen and cook 3.17 based ROM ... flash your ROM which will be unlocked by that time ... then cook any other WM2003 ROM to upgrade your xda ... 4.01.16 is very good option
