Siemens SX-56 Upgrade

Hi all,
I'm a newbie as you will probably be able to tell shortly from my question below. I recently purchased and upgraded my Siemens SX-56 from the xdadevelopers special edition rom to a wm2003 I cooked at lumpistefan's rom kitchen. The upgrade was smooth as a baby's butt. Now, I have read about radio stack upgrades in this forum but I have no idea what RSU is. Do I need to do a RSU? If so, I would like to know how or be pointed in the right direction. I really read the forums and search for answers so please do not refer me to the search engine. The current device info is now:
Rom Version: 4.01.16 ENG
Rom Date: 2/4/04
Radio Version: A.20.10
Protocol Version: 324e4
Thanks in advance.

if your gsm works DONT mess with the rsu radiostack
it's the embedded software controlling the gsm part of the xda
and if it crash or make ones xda turn into the EU gsm system or US gsm depending on where one is located then one is in for a world of trouble

sx56
Thanks, my phone works fine so I will let sleeping dogs lie. One question...if the phone works, does that mean my gsm is working?

"ERROR GETTING UNLOCK CODE"

Sorry guys because I know this is going to annoy some folks but I just got an XDA 1 and I'm a total div with it.
So my XDA is locked, no surprise there....I want to unlock it and eventually use a 3 sim in it....I followed the tutorial (wizard) about unlocking but no joy...Here's what I have
Rom Version 3.17.03 ENG
Rom Date 05/15/03
Radio Version 4.21.02
Protocol Version 32S54
The wizard says I can unlock with the ROM I have so I have first done a full back up using Active Sync (just in case you understand). I hten downloaded XDAUnlock and transferred it to a directory I createdon the XDA called...XDAUnlock...no suprises there either....I navigated to the file and double clicked and....
I get "ERROR GETTING UNLOCK CODE"
I dont mind if I have to use the XDA Developers ROM to get this to work bt I have Tom Tom and Check Point installe and wouldn;t want to loose them......
I'm sure I'm doing something very obviously wrong and thisis actaully quite easy but I'm now at a total loss.
Any help would be much appreciated....

Don't know it exactly.
Maybe this
Radio Version 4.21.02

is your problem.
It works with older Radio Versions, but i never heard of this one.
Some US users have the same problem as you with their newest Radio Stack

Do you know if the Radio Version be changed?

Unlocking problem similar to Fritz's
I have an XDA 1 which had been unlocked by a shop (I was a bit scared then), and it worked fine on Orange, my preferred provider. Recently I fell over and damaged the unit, which I sent to O2 for repair. It was returned working but locked to O2 again. I've tried "Unlock.exe" but get "Error getting Unlock code", so I tried the Special Edition ROM which has worked perfectly in the past on another XDA 1 (32Mb version) which I bought as a spare. The Special Edition ROM loaded fine on the 64Mb, but I didn't get the little dialog box about SIMunlock. The phone is still locked and I don't know what to do next. I sold the 32 Mb unit when I got the 64Mb one back and don't have the technical details, but the 64Mb details are as follows:
VERSION
Rom Version: 3.17.03 ENG
Rom Date: 05/15/03
Radio Version: 4.21.05
Protocol version: 32S54
HARDWARE
CPU: ARM SA1110
Speed: 206 MHz
Ram size: 64 MB
Flash size: 32 MB
Flash chip type: 28F128
Data bus: 32 bits
LCD: 240 x 320 TFT
Colours: 4096
IDENTITY
Model no: PW10A1
Platform: PocketPC:
IMEI: ***************
Can anyone help, or point me towards a possible solution. Thanks in advance.

According to my last posting, i would say the problem is the radio stack version.
You could try to downgrade to a t-mobile radio version 3.x and then unlock your device.
But flashing the radio stack is very dangerous.
Many people ends in a paperweight....

If you look in programs list on xda with special edition rom you should see the xdaunlock prog, have you tried clicking on it on your xda to see if it works or gives error?

Wallaby Siemens sx56 unlock

I have read many posts on this site that pertain to unlocking the Wallaby.
I have not actually tried it yet becuase I read that the XDAtools does not work on a wallaby without wmodem.exe. I happen to have a unit that seems to old for the XDAtool unlock and I want to make sure I have this straight.
The Wallaby is:
ROM Version: A.30.09 ENG (upgraded from ppc2002)
ROM date: 01/01/04
Radio version: A.20.10
Protocol version: 324e4
Model No.: PW10B1
Thanks,
Kevin

but after alot of experimenting i have found a solution. i thought i'd post this to help anyone else out with the same problem!
I bought an M600 on orange PAYG however on inserting my orange contract sim i can use the phone but cannot send SMS messages or adjust phone settings, if i attempt to all i get is the message above.
having spoken to orange about this several times it turns out to be a sim compatibility issue. orange however do not support sim swapping all they can do is send out sims compatible with the handset they sent you! i.e the N73 i got on upgrade.
So my solution, i paid imei-check to CID unlock the phone, i actually already unlocked the phone using lockiwiz but that will only remove the simlock on a G4 and AFAIK imei-check are the only people to unlock the CID.
once unlocked i backed up the shipped rom to SD as described in the prophet WIKI (just in case i needed to restore it to orange settings) and then upgraded the rom.
i tried several shipped roms and eventually found this rom the
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_?QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to not only work but also be in english. its a great rom, very basic without all the junk orange supply as standard
I don't really know why this has solved my problem i think its something to do with the radio rom but whatever it is it works perfectly!
below is my phones new info, if someone with the orange Rom could post the same I'd be interested to compare the versions.
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
I hope this helps someone out there!

for discussion purposes
That sounds weird why it works like that since my understanding of unlocking CID was merely so that one could install different ROMs. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong here.

it is!!!! i needed to update the rom to get it to work! as above i stated that i changed from the orange rom to the qtek one, hence CID needs to be unlocked
So my solution, i paid imei-check to CID unlock the phone, i actually already unlocked the phone using lockiwiz but that will only remove the simlock on a G4 and AFAIK imei-check are the only people to unlock the CID.

Afaik, if you remove IPL/SPL from the ROM (There should be tutorials somewhere around here on how to do it) you don't have to CID unlock your phone.

I would really like to try this! I am always getting the same error so often whenever I send a new sms. I have an i-mate JAMin, prophet touch X ipl&spl 2.20, gsm 2.69. I can't find the ROM you're talking about in the xda-developer's ftp. Can you please upload it? Thank you so much!

its on the wiki page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_ROMs

Okay If I installed this, do I have to reinstall wm6 and then my current ROM again(Prophet Touch X)?

yes i expect so, i'm no expert, thats just the way i solved the problem on mine!
i think it has to do with the radio rom version

You can update the radio ROM without having to change the normal ROM.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Radio_1_Upgrade

I am currently using v2.69. Does it mean I have to downgrade or test other versions? How about you? What version are you using guys?

hey as i stated, i'm not entirely sure what eaxctly it was that the replacement rom fixed but it did fix it!
Are you guys using orange M600s? whats your rom info?
mine was:
ROM version: 2.20.7.34 WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio version: 02.47.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24
ExtROM version: 2.20.7.114
unfortunately i had my phone stolen so i can't help much more than that.

Okay I have fixed mine. I tried all versions but only version 2.30.21 of Radio ROM only fixed my problem. Thanks guys for all the help.

I had the same issues, updated my M600 to the above ROM and it now works perfectly

wow - does that mean you guys are using a 3g sim in a orange m600??
if so - what is a radio rom (and what does it replace?)
can you run these radio roms with wm6.1? or does it mean going back to 5?
sorry for all the questions i am despirate to get my phone working!!

I have a similar problem, going to try the rom you recommended but thought I'd post my pre-rom stats.

Protocol Version: 4.1.13.24

ROM date: 2/16/06
Radio version: 02.07.20
