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!

Hello everybody
Yesterday I tried to use "lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker v0.2b" for my new T-mobile MDA Vario because otherwise I was not able to upgrade the ROM from 1.6.2.2 to the latest one. But.. in the end I got a problem. To be honest this problem was appearing periodically before unlocking/upgrading but now it presents permanently. I simply can not dial any phone number. The systems responds as: "SIM card is not installed or invalid" (something like that from translation from Dutch into English, originally: "SIM-kaart ontbreekt of ongeldig").
I already tried to use this SIM in my previous phone (SE T630) and it still works perfectly. I can dial numbers, I can SMS, whatever. But in my new T-mobile MDA Vario this SIM card just does not admit dialing the phone numbers.
Does anybody have any thoughts, what it might be?
Thank you very much in advance!!!
P.S. Honestly, in case of warranty during unlocking process I kept my SIM card out off the MDA.
Just for info...
When I bought MDA the version of ROM was 1.6.2.2 NLD
After upgrading I got ROM 2.21.2.5 NLD and ExtROM 2.21.2.108
As I see now it connected to T-mobile network but still can't dial any number, reporting of the possible problems with SIM card. In the same time this SIM card is working with no any problems in my T630.
This is a very strange problem indeed. When you turn your device on or soft reset, does the device ask for a PIN code for the phone? If it asks for a PIN code and it accepts that code and starts searching for a signal, that means that the device can read the SIM card. It is very strange that when you have a signal, the device cannot make call. Either it should not be able to compare your PIN code to the one on your SIM and give an error message, or if it accepts your PIN code, you should be able to make calls. Perhaps there is a hardware problem with your SIM slot that makes the device unable to read the info on your card? Since it works in your other phone, the SIM does not seem to be the problem. You can try flashing another ROM on it to test if the device works with that ROM. If that does not work as well, flash back to an original T-Mobile NL ROM and call T-Mobile for your warranty.
When it is loaded it shows up the Telefoon screen with the following message: "Ongeldige of ontbrekende SIM-kaart. U kunt nog wel alarmnummers bellen, als uw seviceprovider dit ondersteunt." If I type numbers it show stars, like I would enter the password. Why stars? I already tried to input my unlocking code but it didn't help, as looks like it expects something else that this. I may just press Annuleren and continue working with other available functions of MDA but still may not use the phone.
Could you please share the info how to downgrade back to 1.6 ROM?
Thank you very much for your response!
Ok, this indicates that your device cannot read your SIM card. The screen you get on start-up is the screen where you normally enter your PIN code, if the device can read your SIM Card. That is why you see only stars when you enter a number there. Seems to me that your device cannot read your SIM Card and therefore cannot compare the PIN you enter to the one on your SIM card. You should not be able to get a signal from T-Mobile, since your phone cannot read the SIM and cannot register with the network. This can be caused by three problems: either your SIM card slot is broken, or your ROM is faulty (try flashing it to another ROm first, for instance a Qtek ROM from the ftp server, there are many ROMs available there) or the SIM card is defective ( seems not to be the case here, since it still works in your other phone).
I recommend that you first try another ROM on your phone, e.g. a Qtek ROM. If the problem goes away then, just keep the Qtek ROM or try flashing the T-Mobile ROM again. If that does not help, flash the latest T-Mobile ROM (from their website) to your device and claim your warranty for a broken sim slot.
As far as I know it is not possible to downgrade to the 1.6 ROM, it is a non-AKU ROM and cannot override an AKU ROM. Perhaps someone can correct me, since I am not a 100% sure of this. You do not need the 1.6 ROM at all, if the Qtek ROM does not work, just flash the latest T-Mobile ROM to your device and claim warranty. Since you then have an official T-Mobile ROM on your device, warranty should not be a problem.
Would be that a problem to flash latest T-mobile upgrade back from Qtek? I need to know it just in case I would not be able to do that. Cause otherwise, sorry, but im ****ed up in front of warranty office..
It should not be a problem to flash the T-Mobile ROM over a Qtek ROM. You can first try a hard-reset to see if that solves your problem. You can also call T-Mobile Klantenservice and tell them your problem. Tell them you want to use a Qtek ROm to figure out the problem and ask them permission to do so. They are known to give permission for such actions if that can save them from repairing your device. Be sure they make a note in your file stating that they give you permission, that makes your case stronger if there is a problem with your warranty later on. Good luck!
Do you think it's illegal installing even T-mobile NL ROM updates by myself, i.e. not asking T-mobile to do so?
Like I said the previous version of my ROM was 1.6.2.2. Then I actually tried to flash the latest UK version (2.21.2.5). The network signal was actually appearing from time-to-time but then it just died. Then I tried to install the latest NL version (2.21.2.5NLD) to check whether the signal would appear. But it didn't help.
Installing official T-Mobile updates is not illegal. T-Mobile NL made the upgrade available on their site. These updates are meant to be carried out by the users themselves, therefore the file and instructions are placed on their site. For other brands ( Nokia, SE) these updates cannot be done by the users themselves, but Windows Mobile updates are meant to be done by you, thereby saving T-Mobile the costs of performing the upgrades for you. So if an official T-Mobile ROM is on your device, they can never deny you your warranty. You can try to replace the radio Rom only (there is a thread on this) to see if that helps, but I recommend flashing an official T-Mobile NL ROM on your device and claim your warranty. Since you have tried different ROMs, the problem obviously resides in the hardware. If a hard-reset does not help, use the lokiwiz application to sim and cid lock your device again and T-Mobile will not be able to see that you had unlocked it. Just mention that you tried a hard reset and that you tried upgrading to the latest official T-Mobile ROM and they will have to honour your warranty.
Re: T-mobile NL: problems with dialing after unlocking &
First of all to my knowledge T-Mobile MDA Vario in NL is SIMlocked and CID locked . If you want to know the difference I advise you to search in the xda-forum or google it.
Here are a few comments from my experience of upgrading and unlocking my MDA Vario.
( BTW I have T-Mobile MDA Vario initially with 1.6 ROM and SIM& CID lock -first upgraded to 2.21.2.5 then unlocked with lokiwizard3a !! )

I disagree with this, upgrading should not require you to unlock your device unless you upgrade to a None-T-Mobile ROM. If this was your main target ( only the Tmobile upgrade ) you shoudn;t have messed with the unlock stuff

I am a bit puzzled you state that the device was not behaving well before you started tweaking. Why did you not go to the Tmobile shop? OK you like the challenge ? Anyway it does look like a Hardware issue to start with.

OK what have you tried else?
The suggestion of trying a QTEK ROM shold be blocked by your CID lock. I you remove the CID lock ( which is possible but not legal ) your warranty is at risk. Tmobile may claim you messed up your device ...
Therefor What I did is only take the SIM lock out. Lokiwizard 2(a/b) did not work for my upgraded MDA so I looked around a bit and found that there is a newer version 3a. That one worked for me on the Tmobile 2.21.2.5 ROM. I did not use or try the QTEK rom since the Tmobile rom allows my warranty to be safe and is newer ( and stable afaik) then the QTEK rom .
I also have found there are updater that do not check your version number of NBF file because you officially can not downgrade the 2.21.2.5 so there is a way back should you need to. Though I personally did not verify this . I mailed with a person here at XDA forum who did it with success.
I would propose to play dummy when approaching Tmobile and not ask to go to QTEK rom and tryin to be the smartass.
Try to downgrade and go for warranty - thats what I would do..
Hi, I've updated my Trinity with this ROM.
All works fine, except that it doesn't work with my SIM card.
When I insert the SIM card, I got a message and the Network Wizard:"Your current operator (23433) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor.
Would you like to select another network provider?
Basically I can't connect to the network and the network wizard gave me only asian and australian operator I can choose from, but I'm on Orange and in UK!!
Please let me know what's wrong!
Cheers
You sure it doesn't work when you wait a while? It should work telephony-wise, but the data settings you have to change manually...
just doesn't accept Orange SIM cards..
Can't understand why...maybe has a lock when you insert an Orange SIM?
Orange simcards
Hi gioazz,
I bought an m700 from you on ebay ( dezlatics )and have found it to work great, but I am eager to use the GPS option with it.
But just a quick note on your issue....
I have now installed an Orange 3g Pay as you go simcard with no problems.
However, I did originally buy a simcard and have problems connecting to the internet. I rang Orange customer services and they told me that the simcard was only a 2G simcard and that it was not compatible with the m700. So I then bought a 3G simcard and everything is sorted.
So perhaps you are trying to use a 2G card and not a 3G card??
Could you possibly send me any info on the GPS rom update that you have installed and tell me how to check if my m700 is locked or unlocked.
Cheers mate!
My Sim Card is 3G but it doesn't work with any Orange SIM...I think that this is simply a faulty phone.
As for the GPS ROM, just download the ROM from the FTP it works great, and if your already works with an Orange SIM I think it will still working.
I've tried to revert to an old ROM and the nproblem is still there so I think is just the phone.
It does works with any other phone SIM so far,so I think is simply an Orange lock on this device...
'FTP' - What is this?
Thanks for your reply gioazz,
But because I am a bit of a newbie on this site, could you tell me what the 'ftp' is please. Where I can look for the ROM update.
My apologies if this is such a stupid question!

First of all - great username!
Second of all, ftp (file transfer protocol) is where you are going to find the stockpile of roms and other files the esteemed members of this forum have compiled from around the world. Here's a link to the trinity rom page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_Upgrades
Good luck with the update...I see in another post of yours you already CID unlocked your phone.
How Do I Know If My Device Is Unlocked?
Thanks for your reply PSARGENT,
Yes I unlocked my Trinity with the IMEI unlocking service, it cost me £20.00 but I think it will be worth it in the long run.
But how can I test that my device is unlocked and will stay unlocked even after I upgrade using the GPS ROM update?
Is there a quick to tell, or do I have to try and install software that is not digitally signed to find out, Also, I do not have any other carriers simcards to try in my Trinity either.
Cheers!
Still no sign of the Official GPS ROM Update from HTC!!!
Sorry for the double posting!!
I did not read your reply to my post in the other Trinity section of the site, my apologies psargent!
Solution
Do Hardreset,
After you finish the initial phase, do hard reset before it installs the DOPOD software (the 3 seconds countdown) and your sim will work fine.

Hello Everyone,
I know that is a very noob question, but I don't know anymore what to do.
I recently move to Germany and I bring my wizard (bought in Brazil) with me.
My device is CID and SIM unlocked and its running WM 6.1
The problem is, I never get signal!!
I already try all the available radios (2.19, 2.25, 2.69, 2.71 and etc..) and nothing happen!
someone knows if there anything to do for work?
I appreciate all the help.
Thanks in advanced.
no one? no ideias =/
None of the radios you list are from any of the O2 ROMs in the wiki.
Have you tried an O2 Radio?

hope that work.
This Radio is from the O2 Xda Minis
And here is link to the ROM
danken schön!
i will try and report!
That is very strange!
i flash the radio and nothing happen.
I start to think that my device is SIM unlock again.
But the most strange is:
-I put a diferent SIM and my phone start normaly look for signal but couldn't find it.
-The Invalid SIM screen for type code don't show anymore
-When i read my device on Wizard service tool its show SIM LOCKED.
-But in Brazil i test other operator SIM a long time ago and works.
Any ideia?????
damed! i cannot find a solution...
anyone? any ideia?
I had the same Problem, I live in Germany and have the XDA mini S too, but it's a Vodafone SIM-Card inside. When I installed WM6 the Phone always got a bad connection to the network, and it took much longer even to connect than with the original GERMAN ROM from O2. I downloaded the original ROM from O2s german Website and flashed it with the tool which was in the downloaded file, I didn't extract it from the installer because my Phone was CID-locked. Then the Phone had very good connection again. Then I CID-unlocked it and flashed the newest release of TNT. I expected bad connection again but NO, the Phone behaves like with the original ROM.
XDA mini S german ROM:

My Phone is a G4, so I used this tool to unlock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332320
Then I flashed this ROM (Professional Edition):

I used ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.zip for that:

Everything seems to be normal again. I described every detail because I am not really sure what the EXACT problem was because there are so many ways to do the same thing, but i don't know if every method REALLY DOES EXACTLY the same thing, if you know what i mean
wow! thats really strange! but i will try it!
i cannot beleave but works!!
thank you!
Hy guys.
I have installed the Touch-IT Xperien 3.5 rom to my SE Xperia.
Because I don't have a simcard of another network I can't test whether my phone is sim locked or not.
Is the simlock active after rom flash?
Thanks

I've also installed the Touch-IT 3.5 WWE (and many others before), but the simlock remains.
Simlock remains. It's a function of the SIMM, not the phone.
**** happens
i got an x1 phone, put in my sim card, locked, please enter code ... okay, first of all i try to save all my contacts from my old phone (slooow)
so, in the meantime, i flashed a custom rom to my x1 (Dynamics_GTX_2.4.5_WWE_Kovsky.nbh)
and now i cant use the phone to call, but i don't get any msg regarding to the sim-lock.
i also cant find it somewhere in the menu.
i already bought the unlock code, but dunno where to enter.
can some one help me? i am completely nuts because i stayed up all night long...
sry for my bad language, completely exhausted
/edit/ i forgot to save the original rom, so i think i would need the original AUSTRIA A1-Mobilcom ROM.
but all links i found on google are down - could i use a rom for a X1i too?
