Nice post, Bosjo....great idea....now let's hope people read this, so I can stop referring to the links in my signature...!
bosjo, add the new 1.40 Tutorial I added to wiki, it makes the seperate Bluetooth and Radio ones obsolete (largely) as 1.40 include 1.12.00 and 1.0.0.3900
The noob finally did it
I want to thank Brazillian Joefor helping me out with my ineptness to READ THE WHOLE WIKI first- I finally upgraded to WM2k5 flawlessly after nearly 6 hours and despite sctatching a bald spot into my head everything is great.
I also want to thank Helmi and everyone else that made this all possible this site is a real asset keep up the great work.
Siemens Sx66 Model ph20b1
Used the unlock on 12/07/2006 on referenced Cingular phone purchased somewhere around April 2005. Worked like a charm, phone now works great on T-Mobile.
I failed to download MaUpgradeUt_noID file from the ftp site for resolving the country code error problem. For tha I am requesting you please upload the file in rapidshare.com (or arrange to upload).
It will be a great help for me.
Thanks
I installed WM6 with a simple PIN last night. This morning I switched SIMs and when switching on I entered the normal PIN and it says "incorrect password".
I haven't changing the PIN and it worked last night. Of course now it goes into longer and longer gaps before you can do anything! and now i must wait for 34minutes before i can try my "lucky" PIN..
No problem I thought, I'll just do a hard reset... but BIG problem. It appears that WM6 won't let you do a hard reset from the unlock screen.
Does anyone know if they have changed the hard reset procedure in WM6?
From the device being powered on I am pressing an holding the power button, pressing the reset and then letting both go simultaneously - is this correct?
It is nice to know if someone steals your 'phone that they can't use it - not at all good when a bug in WM6 makes it happen to the owner!
I have a completely useless brick at the moment...
need your help guys..
Links for wiki don't work, any idea where to get these info from?
in the top bar there is also a link to the wiki, or take this one: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
EDIT: sorry, apparently i misunderstood, the wiki is apparently experiencing problems and is currently down.
turning off alone.
I upgraded my BA to d-two's WM6.5.5 Build 23529, and now when the battery is on 30%, he turn of or reset and keep doing aftera a while when i turn on again. Chief tony, you know this error?
you should always make sure that your battery is completely full when upgrading. there's been people before, reporting that their battery meter is screwed up after upgrading. so, i guess the 30% are just not an accurate value and the battery is in fact empty. you should load up the battery up to 100% and re-flash the rom. the values will be more accurate
then.
another reason could be that your battery is really starting to go bad and maybe should be replaced.
Hi Chief
Hey chief tony, i reflashed my BA with full charge, and instaled the Wm 6.1 manilla 2d final from D-two, and i've got what realy happens, everytime i used the wifi conection, is doesnt take long and Ba turn of, and when i turn on where it must have the radio version, it appears 'none', so i soft reset and gets ok. you know whats happening?
ps: sorry for the bad english
the fact, that it turns off quickly again, points to the battery having lost most of its capacity. maybe you should have a look at ebay for a replacement.
it shows R NONE G NONE, because unplanned switch-offs or soft resets, that are not triggered by the reset pin cause the phone to boot without radio, some roms start without the radio then, some don't boot at all. it happens with all custom roms and soft resetting is the only way to avoid it.

I wouldn't blame the battery so fast on this one (although entirely possible). There are a few roms (not sure about d-two's 6.1 since I have not tried it) that will become unresponsive once you activate Wifi (not sure why), and eventually resets the device... He could try a different rom and see if that helps.
Hi,
I am trying to get the "For Sim(Un)Lock tool GO" but when I click on GO it returns "No input file specified."
Any other links that I can get this tool to unlock my Blue Angel...

this tutorial is quite outdated, the one linked in my signature is new and all links are working there. in the 2nd post, you will find the tool needed for the sim unlock and many more
Re-detecting my 1gb sd card!
Hi, Chef.
I initially had some issues with my 1gb sd card after upgrading to m 6.1 & then 6.5.3. But, after a vista laptop detected an removed a virus (autorun file), I was able to access again.
Now, after upgrading using sun dream's latest rom (6.5.5), my sd-card issue has re-appeared. I have just formatted the card (tried either fat or fat32) and still no progress.
Other Issues: Activisync's complaint about my having to increase the size of my mailbox & delete one or two other files is becoming too frequent.
my ba now trips up (or shuts down completely) when d battery is around 50%.
What next?

What Rom do you have?
ROM: sun_dream's WM6.5.5 Build 23569 CHS WWE
Radio: 1.15
Well, I took a chance and this is what I get. It's 10:46pm and I have a PDA2k that won't even turn on now. Removed the battery and the whole thing.
Here's what happened, I have a PDA2K from Expansys. I decided to upgrade my radio from .06 to .10. I read every article regarding this and backing up very well. I took the instructions from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Radio_1.12_Upgrade and proceeded with the backup. I did the soft reset, and put my system in the cradle. A hot-sync took place. I then went to my folder on my desktop, clicked BAupgradeut.exe and I got the screen that popped up. I followed the instructions and clicked ok. It read my old configuration and what was going to be changed, and I clicked next. Up popped a screen saying checking information on your device...then my Active Sync shutdown, XP detected a new device and said it was ready to use. I noticed that the power light (charge light) on my PDA2k went out (yet there's power to the outlet) and Active Sync never came back on. I thought "this can't be good" but proceeded to wait 20 minutes, tried to get active sync working again and it couldn't find my unit. I finally tried to kill baupgradeut (and it's still up and running with the same "checking your information" screen. I finally said screw it (after 25 minutes) and yanked my pda2k off the cradle. No power, can't do a hard reset...nothing works at all...its completely dead. Tried pulling the battery off for a couple minutes and that didn't help either.
I'm pretty stuck here and hope you guys can help me out. (Even though everyone is probably asleep.) So, I've got a really nice paper weight here. If anyone has any thoughts, pass them on over. I chose the 1.12.00 upgrade from the same page as I mentioned above if that helps. I guess my main concern is just being able to get some response from this thing. Right now I get NOTHING.
Thanks,
Tom
Now I feel like a silly twit! Turns out I had a grey screen and was in bootloader mode. Its not too bright in this room tonight and I didn't see that...could have something to do with the 4 Guinness I had. I noticed it when the light reflected off the screen. I checked the troubleshooting guide and discovered the "grey screen" problem.
I just finished the upgrade and am setting things up. Everything's just peachy.
Sorry about being such a baby. I have insurance on this too. I could have just run over it in my Land Rover and got a new one....those trucks really flatten things.
Question: I used Sprite to backup just before I did this. Can I restore without jacking anything up?
Thanks for what I'm sure would have been a lot of help and support.

Hermant - Thank you very much for your reply. I just wish it came 13 hours ago.
I found it on the xda-developers somewhere that someone else posted. I was trying to find your link which I stumbled upon before. But alas, I found something. It required that I use GetData before the upgrade, which I didn't do. I followed the rest of the directions (which was similar to your link) and everything is perfect. My Radio and BT upgrades are still there. Thanks again for the help! I bookmarked it this time

Tom,
Actually even i had found this link here but now i have tried it many times and it is working perfectly.
Glad that i could help someone since i have learnt a lot from this site so now is the time to give back.
Hemant.
It started with a screen alignment problem. I thought by updating the ROM I may be able to solve the problem. No way... I went to the Qtek website and got an updated ROM. I started the update, and after waiting what I though was a reasonable amount of time, about 10 minutes, I assumed I had a problem. I removed the PDA from the activesync base and ITS LOCK. I get a screen that says "SERIAL". It won't sync or do anything for that matter. Can it be saved? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
try to upgrade again its not dead I hope .....,
Well my problem is weird. I tried installing WM6, WM5 and even the original BA_TMUK_14200_112_11300_Ship ROM in my BA and everything is fine, but when it reaches the today page, it gets hanged and i then i have to soft rest it which brings it back to the same problem. Its the same with all the 3 versions, and also with 2003SE.
I started of with WM6, then the original and then 2003SE. My mobile was working before i tried undating it but it used to hang when i used to switch on the WiFi. Its a T-Mobile MDAIII. Does anyone have any solutions or suggestions or have i burnt it up bad??!
Well my bad, it finally worked somehow but now it gets stuck when u try to switch on the Wifi. The same problem that was before i updated the rom. I guess its a hardware problem now.
Hello Guys Pls help me if you can.............
I was using WM5 on my phone fwe days a go and then i used the SIM locker software and it worked fine
Then i flashed it with rom provided by adewidt. it worked fine for few days then my phone started rebooting on its own and the only way i can stop it was by taking the battery out. it used to restart on its own . but now it does not even come to the main screen. when i turn it on it says BOOTING and then WELCOME and thats it, it does not go further. i have tried hard reset but no changes i can not use the active sync as well. Its like person in COMA, it has got life but no sign of movement.
