Post subject: xda2 unlocking
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hi:
i am having problem unlocking my xda2 ,anyone can help me?
i have followed the instruction shown below:
Code:
XDA Developers XDA2UNLOCK tool
This program will extract the unlock code from your XDA II.
For this to be possible, a few steps are necessary:
1. The XDA II needs to be put in bootloader mode.
NOTE: THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA SO FIRST BACK-UP!
You enter the bootloader by holding the Power button and the Action button
while pressing the stylus in the reset hole on the bottom.
In the bootloader mode, the display will be gray and say Serial at the top.
2. Next put the device in the USB cradle. The display will now say USB
and the first time Windows will detect a new device.
3. Disable USB in Active Sync in 'File -> Connection Settings'
Now the device is ready to extract the unlock code.
Type YES when you have completed the above steps and want to continue: YES
once i type in yes the dos box dissapears and i can not go any further, i have tried it may times , and no joy, i use window ME ,please help.
email me [email protected]

dear ladies and gents,
i am new to this forum; i have been using my xda2 for 2 years now and i am more or less up to speed on the how to's. but i have a question on upgrading to wm2005. i deeply apologize if this topic has been discussed before and now here i am again bringing it up...but hear me out first.
i have downloaded ALL the files needed to upgrade to wm2005; the roms (version c) from buzz.net, the ramdisk, doctools, even the skins. so far i know only the following steps (i got this from xda2jojo's downloads). everything.
--------------------
5. Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
6. Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
7. Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
8. Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
9. Detach your device from the cradle.
10. Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
-----------------------
i have successfully done this already but the storage is low. i have done reading and browsing on expanding the storage to 30-plus mb using ramdisk and the doctools. i would like to ask for assistance on how to use these. i read in this forum that you have to use doctools first? it is a little confussing.
please advise how to use these 2 tools together with the steps mentioned above.
again i apologize in advance because i know that this topic has been discussed so much.

you need to (got this from the forum):
1. Downgrade to WM2003SE (2.06 ROM) via PC method
BUT if you're already running WM2003SE then you don't need to do step one. But at the very least I think your ROM should be 2003SE.
2. Install Extended_ROM Unlocker
3. Unlock the Extended_ROM (but don't click unhide)
4. Copy the Hima_DOC_Tool.exe to the Temp folder on the device
5. Run the Hima_DOC_Tool.exe
6. Perform a soft reset only (not hard reset)
7. Checked the new size (30.07M
8. Upgraded to WM2005 (1.60b.96) via PC method
it worked for me. you may want to also refer to this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28801
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=42
these will more or less answer other concerns you might have.
in my case i didn't use ramdisk...but it worked well for me and i'm still using wm2005.
cheers

IT WORKED!
Thank you very, very much for your post! After some experimentation I was finally able to solve the storage problem based on the guide you gave me!

My Uni got stucked at splash screen i.e the blue O2 screen (not bootloader).
The story was like this:
Just before it happened, I was trying to enter the bootloader to flash my ROM, i dont know how i did it but somehow there was some charactors on my screen, some settings.. My curiousity lead me to play around with the settings, I couldnt remember what did i do, I just press the up and down button and the settings changed. Feeling bad that it might ruin my precious Uni, I quickly soft reset it. And then BOOM! I cant start it anymore. It just stucked at the blue O2 splash screen.
Pls pls anyone know how to get back to the setting screen again? I guess it was some button combination to get into that screen. Does anyone know what is the combination?
try this tools
instructions:
-disconnect USB cable
-disable USB connection in desktop ActiveSync
-connect USB cable
-start mtty
-create new connection and select USB from ports
press enter to see USB prompt in mtty:
USB>
type (dont copy&paste):

and press enter
If the result is the following then you are out of luck:

Forget it. You have a defective internal flashdisk. The only option is to return it to the vendor/manufacturer and have it repaired under warranty.
believe Wiz words, because i had the same problem !!TWO!! times in three months.
next time i will smash the Uni against a wall
Shoot! 2 times in 3 months? What did you do dude?
I'm so sad coz I'm currently in Malaysia and the unit is from UK. I asked the O2 service center over here and they said they dont have the jurisdiction to repair it. Even opening up the Uni will temper the warranty. What a bull! Now I have to find a way to send my Uni to UK quick since the warranty is gonna void in 2 months time.

Hi guys,
There is a tip from Dubli for those who stuck on splash screen:
1. Get mtty
2. Connect to USB, press enter
3. Type task 32, enter
4. Type 28, enter
5. Flash CE Rom only
6. Hard Reset
Make sure to type task 32 first before task 28 coz task 28 alone wont work.
Pls try this and tell me the outcome. I cant try this coz i just sent my uni to UK just now.

During replacement ROM v.3.29 on v3.32 WWE.Build 06 the message has appeared "checksum error!" then the device "has hung" and more to load it was not possible...
At attempt of restoring with usage of buttons "record" + "reset" and "camera" + "record" + "reset" in a top of the display part there is a text - " 2006/08/28 09:47:01 " in the bottom of an empty advance - bar and in one second the display is filled by a pseudo-graphics (triangles, point …)
Correctly it is possible enter only the mode - " Photo+Record+Joistick_Action - USB Console mode ", thus there is a text:

Cpu version: PXA27x
USB Cable is connected
And in the bottom of an empty advance - bar.
Win XP at connection informs that "the Device USB is not authenticated "...
Please prompt as to restore service capability P525 with usage of this mode?

Try the Sorg's Asus Simple rom with 84.5MB of Storage Space with instruction about how to update.
Read the topic here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281393&highlight=simple+rom
and you can download the Simple Rom from here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/1238374/ASUS_P525_v3.32.WWE.simple.build.01.BLU.zip.html
works fine with me... so far
Unfortunately, bootloader has some strange bug which prevents to update ROM through usual procedure if OS ROM image is less than 32MB.
so you have to update it through bootloader instead through autorun.exe.
1) unpack everything to root of MiniSD
2) insert MiniSD to P525. Connect USB cable.
3) press "Camera" button and while holding it press shortly and release "reset". device will boot into ROM update mode.
4) release "camera" button.
5) follow on-screen instructions
P.S: if updater tells "incompatible language" then restart device and execute ASUS.UnlockLangID.exe. After that repeat from step 3.
P.P.S: If bootloader doesn't start update and tells "galaxy .nb0" not found then your bootloader is too old and doesn't support this method of update. Download latest ROM from ASUS site and update it. After that repeat this instruction again from step 1.

Be careful, read the instructions and of course whatever you do yo, you do it an your own risk.
Dear All,
I'm stuck at align screen on this XDA Stealth, and guess I need help from you people.
How can I enter Bootloader Mode on XDA Stealth? ( I can enter engineering mode, but can't see any option to enter Bootloader i.e. tri-color screen).
I'm unable to upgrade ROM on this device because of the following reasons.
1. I upgraded WM6.1, and found that Active Sync won't work unless patched.
2. The display's touch screen is defective so after up ROM Upgrade, I'm stuck at align screen, further, the phone is not getting detected in windows as there is this patch required for the ROM.
3. I don't have miniSD reader and also I don't think the car works properly.
So, is there any way to enter the bootloader mode and get the device detected under windows so that I can upgrade again?
wbr

xda stealth - Q.? = remove battery and the model is htc??????????????
WIKI
engineer mode ???
6.14wm - O2 pre-pay
Hi,
This ain't HTC, it specifically says Model : XDA Stealth. Guess the Manufacturer is Gigabyte. Although, Gigabyte is not mentioned anywhere on the back.
Engineering Mode is accessed by pressing Power + Camera + Flag keys while boot up. The Screen Displays GIGABYTE Communications P.O.S.T. and in Main Menu, there are various tests and configurations.
What I'm looking for is a way to upgrade the rom by getting the phone detected in Windows. Is there any way to get bootloader mode on this phone?
Thnx
Sonny
i have a htc 8525 at$t locked-details as below
rom version 2.15.502.3
rom date 04/09/07
radio version 1.40.30.00
bootloader screen details as below
HERM100
IPL-1.03
SPL-1.11
i got HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a to unlock-in it procedure as below.
Install Instructions:
1. Enter bootloader mode on your Phone. To do this, simultaneously hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset
with stylus.
[You should see SPL-1.04 on the top of the tri-color screen, if you see SPL-1.06 this unlocker will not work, please
wait for the next version]
2. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.
3. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program – this will reflash your phone with a patched radio ROM required to unlock.
4. Wait patiently.
5. Once the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe upgrade completes, it will end up saying "Upgrade Error 114", but the patched radio ROM
will be flashed anyway, dont worry about that error!
6. Soft reset with stylus (Device will not be hard reset and no data will be lost)
7. Allow your phone to reboot. Once it has, connect to your PC using Activesync, and copy the HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe program
onto your phone. Alternatively, copy it to an SD card and insert into your phone.
8. Run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on your phone. Wait about 1 minute.
9. You should see a "SUCCESS!" message from HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe, after that soft reset your phone.
10. Process is (hopefully) complete!
11. If the phone requests unlock code when you put a locked SIM, the code is: 22051978
but my doubt is my SPL is 1.11
can i unlock using HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a?
help me
thank u
