Hello,
I've downloaded XDA Manipulator, and studied the VB source code. Unfortunately, I do not have a USB to serial cable, so I cannot run the program.
However, I tried using the EXEs that ship with aWizard to read the same addresses that XDA Manipulator seems to use, in an attempt to get to the same data. Alas, the ROM read tools return a NULL error - the ROM addresses are somehow out of range?
I'm trying to figure out how XDA Manipulator would read the ROM of my device and obtain my IMEI, I should be able to do that with the aWizard ROM reading tools, right?
Or would the XDA Manipulator not even work with my device - HTC Wizard - in the first place? (Phone is fully SIM and CID unlocked)
If you're just trying to read the IMEI, there are other ways to do this using normal API calls. Check out PocketPCDN.
V
Actually, I'm trying to read the IMEI from ROM, so I can first verify I have the right section of ROM, and the next step will be writing back to that area of the ROM. No luck so far though...

Can anyone help? I used XDA tools to back up my VPx ROM 1.22 before I upgraded to Qtek 1.40. This was a success but I am not convinced that it is entirely stable so would like the option to roll back. Using XDA tools to do so I get an error that my device is not connected via USB - it seems like Program A is not running or correctly responding. Am I missing something obvious? I have checked through Wiki but could not find anything; alternatively, is there a way for me to convert the .nb1 file saved from XDA tools into a standard set of files for a conventional "upgrade" instead?
Many thanks!
i want to unlock O2 XDA IIi of O2 brand from England? who help me? thx

XDA2i Rom Unlock
Hi Blackfoot,
is this: ExtendedROMUnlocker.arm.CAB
The right tool to unlock the XDA2i ROM?
This is the only file I found, but I am afraid to destroy my ROM, if it is not the right Prog.

Of course not my friend....the tool u have is just to unlock the EXT ROM....
Go there(click the link),u will find another itsme tool(when it comes to unlocking,it's always itsme....he's the best :wink: )..
READ and download http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=xdadev_all_unlock
RAGO :lol:
so that means you can unlock a xda that has a contract right, cause where i live if u get a phone with a contract on it u cant use another sim card in it, i want to get rid of that so i can???
No, this is a different story.
In my case the Extended ROM is locked and you have a SIMlock on your device. But I am sure you will find a solution in this Board.
8)
huh ?
The tool by itsme (The xda unlock all tool) will remove the lock that stops you from using a different network.
Ie ... Your phone is locked to O2 network UK, use the tool to unlock the phone so you can use an Orange network UK sim card instead.
ive tried the unlock for xda 11i, not had any luck gives error message, can any body help me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=24704&d=1128641650
put that on your XDA and run it on the xda. will work fine.
erm.. i have just got hold of a alpine/2020i, but this program wont run on it.
edit....
the 1.6 version found at the wiki runs perfectly, but the 1.6.138 keeps saying "this is not a valid pocket pc aplication"
I have tried downloading the latest version of this tool xdadev_all_unlock-v1.6.exe when I run it on my O2 XDA 2i as described it comes up with an error, see error log.
When I read the error log it says:
simlock answer invalid simlock answer.
error getting current lock status
xdadev_all_unlock failed
ril ioct 0xc2: 00000000
ril ioct 0xc6: 00000000
I tryed resetting my XDA but the same thing happens.
Any ideas.
NB this is an 02 phone I had on contract until about six months ago, but I cancelled the contract. It hasn't been used as a phone since. I am keen to use it abroad with a foreign sim.
Of the two progs referenced in the itsme post i have had more luck with the earlier version. v1.6.38 failed to unlock two XDA IIi but he v1.5 was successful in both cases
Thanks 4 That

My Mates Had this PDA (O2 XDA IIi) for a few years now and gave it me the other month. In all that time, he didn't manage to unlock it. A friend I sat talking to the other day referred me to this site, and within 5 minutes of looking from the gogle link, I've managed to get it unlocked!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a mint piece of software! A definite must het for anyone who doesn't usually use O2 as their main network. (or any network for that matter! LOL!)
Thanks to ITSME!
This thread is a getting bit old but I'd like to add my thanks to all those (itsme, I think) that contributed to the xdadev all unlock and to reassure those that follow me that it is one of these things that just works!
I put the program on a SD card plugged it into my O2 XDAlli and ran it. Instant results no messing!
Thanks guys!

I will probably deserve a flaming for these questions but i have searched and have read the wiki as completely as i can.(i have reading large amounts of info problems)
trying to upgrade my original BA wm2003 (upgraded to WM5 from this website months ago) to the latest helmi rom.
i have lost my original device data note i was sure i backed up.
1. cannot understand the proceedure for changing the operator info from command window with setoperator??
2. seems to be a program left out cusTSK it wont transfer the normal way and says beacause it is read only **edit now ok because i copied directly to SD card using card reader.**
3. i have tried to put the device into bootloader screen but then activesync is not active and i get a connection error.
4. when i try to flash with BAupgrade i get a error 100: model ID error but i cant find any descriptions of what to do next on google or these forums.
i have read the readme's several times and i just cant see where im going wrong.
this is about the 5th hour of trying and i think my head is going to explode.
so if you have time to explain/flame(dont hold back either) me where im going wrong, i will be very grateful.
How to set operator - revised edition (by me )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291426
ok thanks for that.
i am assuming this is a nesscessary proceedure to complete or the upgrade wont work at all?
and it doesnt make sense but i need to know,
if the device came as a MDAIII from T mobile i need to set the operator to the t-mobile code?
or
now i previously unlocked the PDA to any network but i use orange, i need to set it to the orange operator code?
ok i have flashed the rom ok please no need to post solution.
hi there,
on running k-jam_Lokiwiz02b ... i did all the instructions , after unlocking (step 1) , & rebooting
a message appeared : SIM Lock
"Data crashes..contact your service center"
i tried to install the old ROM ,, nothing happened & the same error
tried to unlock my device several times as mentioned ,, also the same error reappears every time ????
when i remove the SIM card , the ppc works normally (but not the phone of course) , tried another SIM & also no use
plz HELP
Do you have a G4 or G3 device? What ROM version do you have? We'll take it from there.
i've a G3 device 3.
installed this ROM lastly :
KJAM_ROM_1010903_103_10110_cdl_me_ship
on boating the following appears :
IPL 1.01
SPL 1.01
GSM 1.1.10.0
OS 1.1.9.3
up.....................
While your KJAM rom is 1.01, why don't you try using the Button ROM just to see if it makes a difference.
No clue about the SIM Lock error though. You can use lockiwiz .3 to do the SIM Unlock to see if that fixes that issue, then go back to trying the CID Unlock with .2b.
thnx for concern mfrazzz .. u mean i should try the oldest ROM available ? i tried so & no use ,,,,
i'll try .3 Lockiwz version & c ....?
i tried .3 Lockiwz version .... problem still exists

Bummer... Ok, I just did a google search on your message and found this form Howard Forums:
The data crash message means that the encryption block controlling the simlock is damaged.
That should not be possible, but it apparently IS possible, because you're not the first person who's had it happen.
What I would attempt to do to recover is:
1. Take OUT the SIM card.
2. Bring up the phone in boot loader mode.
3. Reflash an official RUU that matches the phone (T-Mobile US) OR restore an SD image that matches the phone (T-Mobile US)
See if that works. If it DOES, then use the Lokiwiz again BEFORE you go screwing around with anything new. If it does NOT, then attempt the RUU to the Qtek or Imate ROM, again, with card out, and see if THAT one can be booted.

There was no indication in the thread if this worked or not, but its something else to try.
Hope that works for you (or lets you make progress).
FYI: Here's a link to the thread Google put me in where I found this. Just do a search on "data crash" in your browser on this thread and you can read from there down (for aways). I didn't dig real far though.

A similar problem with solution !

Just in case everyone is wondering what I did before I decided to pay for the IMEI and wanted to try before buying a program...
Having the 2.17 ROM installed when I started to have this problem, I first decided to try the method suggested here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50768
That still came up with the "Data crashes..." error with both T-Mo and Cingular SIM cards inserted. The same as the method in the above link (Lokiwiz3a, etc...).
So then I decided to try an alternative method followed by in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848
Which involves downgrading, then unlocking, then upgrading. Also with no luck on removing the "Data crashes..." error. I tried inserting my SIM after the downgrade and running Lokiwiz02b and still same error message.
Then I finally broke down and paid for the IMEI unlock program as posted in this thread (suggested by meschle, and in many other threads):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43319
If the two previous methods mentioned before the pay method do not work and you decide to pay for the IMEI unlock mentioned: PLEASE follow jt_armstrong's advice (mentioned in above post) for obtaining your phones IMEI # when ordering the program!!
Since I did it as a last resort, it was already too late for me to obtain the IMEI from my phone as the pay website suggests (dial *#06# on your phone). This is due to when I insert my SIM the "Data crashes..." message comes up and there is no way I could obtain my IMEI without looking at the label behind my battery.
All is well now after running the $38 program. I finally realized (with the help of the previous posters, and other threads in this great forum!!) I have exhausted all other options.
Unless you can wait for someone to come up with a definitive solution to this rare (from what I have read) problem, I highly recommend using IMEI unlocking program. I have been trying to find a solution for about 5 days in the forums and this was my last resort...

Hi Gurus,
Tried upgrading using different methods to O2 XDA IIs Asia Eng rom, however all methods seem to fail. Have already read the readme file.
a) Using Activesync and MaUpgradeUt__NoId.exe with the new rom.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5
Activesync 4.5 somehow connects at first, detects the rom versions, and closes without warning, leaving the xda2s disconnected giving connection errors.
b) Using manual method,
Using editfix.exe & getdevicedata.exe
Somehow gets warning errors about invalid passwords and wrong header file.
Is it a type 2 rom ?
c) Done hardreset and Going direct into bootloader (V.2.08) and using usb cable without activesync. The word serial does not change to usb, hence there is no connection through usb to the xda in bootloader mode.
Any ideas ? SD Card interface is not working. My guess is that the drivers for usb and sdio is not working. Any input ? I know that the usb cable and interface is working as i can browse the windows folder using activesync.
Updates
Managed to solve the issue with the bootloader mode detecting usb.
I'm trying to download from WM2005 to WM2003 (O2 Official WWE 1.42 release - Asian version.)
Followed the steps exactly in this link :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5
Copied the official nk.nbf rom to the downgrade folder as instructed. When i ran MaUpgradeut_noid.exe, the screen stuck at the checking of info of device. does not seem to be able to flash in bootloader.
I'm using v2.08 of the bootloader (and usb is being displayed.)
Am i doing anything wrong ? Is there an alternate method ? This doesn't seem to work for me.
please help
i've got a ppc660kit and i did the processing and when it was done and i reset it show some colored screen and at the bottom it says no gsm and d 5. somthing.
please help
thanks
just a guess

just a guess, are you trying to flash your device from a widows vista pc, because connection errors especially happen there, because windows downloads new drivers while flashing, disconnecting your device, normally the manuals here are detailed step by step and seem to work for every compatible device, so there is probably the vista thing, a broken cradle or cable which is rather unlikely, or a general software issue with your pc
i forgot to ask, why are you using a Maupgrade, isn't he general upgrade file for blueangel compatible devices the Baupgrade?
nevermind
no i got it. i uploaded the 2.0.3 on my phone it fix the phone. but still shows the 4 color screen, that doesn't matter it still works
thanks anyways guys
