Unlocking a XDA O2 Mini S SIM FREE! - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hello, sorry if the answer is already posted. I just got my new O2 XDA Mini S phone but it is locked for O2. Can anyone help me find an unlocking tool for it. Also, is there a thread that gives the diffrences between the XDA Mini S, Qtek 9100, Imate K-jam, T mobile MDA Vario, Orange SPV M3000, Cingular 8125, HTC Wizard.
Thanks a lot in advance.

hi,friend :wink:
you can try this software: http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=7820
run.lee

hi ....can u tell me how to use this?..thx br

just run it on your device ...

which one should i run? there's a zip fold there..and contains many files..should i copy them all to my device? and which one to run as well?thx

The instructions are there. One (xyz.cab) is to be copied and run on your device, and the other (xyz.dat) run from your PC with active sync connnected. Ignore the other files as they would be extracted into a Utilities folder.

upgrade win2003SE

Hi All
New here so please be kind,
I have an O2 IRL XDA II and wish to update this to the new win version above, I did manage this but lost all conenction settings for MMS, WAP and gprs when done.
Is there some file(Cab?) that can be installed after the fresh install to give me these settings again and if so how is it run?
Thanks
Darren
edited for more details
You must take the file from any one from your friend have a PPC phone edition that runs on win 2003 se
you need the program that opens extended rom and I think you have it , so open your extended rom by clicking on start - programs - extrom tools - unhide and unlock , after that restart your device and open your file explorer and you will see there's extended rom direcory revealed , open it and you will see extended rom installation program file there , copy it to your friend device ,install the extended rom program on his device and open his extended rom like what you did on your device ( don't click on unlock , it will show error on his device ) and you will see his files and the file setting for mobile telecommunications
companies copy the file you want on your extended rom and open your config file that inside the exteded rom directory and add list as list above ( cab ://my device/extended_rom/ (your file name.cab ) )
it will be installed after hard reset automatically
I wish this info's help's you

O2 Orbit Original WM5 Rom 1.25.206.2 found - SD card image

Hello Everyone, Have spent 6 Days hunting for "O2 Orbit Original WM5 Rom ARTE200 1.25.206.2" with little success
I am now putting a bounty on the head of this ROM in the form of a £40 Paypal transaction. I will make instant Payment after the ROM has been verified as the genuine ROM and then make the ROM available to all though Rapidshare, and with some luck help to un-brick a lot of O2 Orbits before O2 UK WM6 is released.
Contact me on [email protected]
Problem caused by - Updating ROM without running USPL on a CID Locked O2 Orbit, The device is USB Bootloader contactable but requires the identical original ROM to restore "Error 244 Device ID"
Many thanks to everyone for their continued help and support.
Rom
1.25.206.2
Radio
02.67.90
Protocol
4.1.13.28
MOD EDIT - SEE POST 12 OF THIS THREAD
the only way you will find this rom, is either on o2 xda website after a WM6 update and hopefully they will do this as a downgrade option after upgrade to wm6.
or
the only other way is to know someone who works for o2 uk, there repair centre will have the only copy, and the only way to maybe even get a copy, is if you are good friends with someone in that department.
currently, there is no rom, for o2 anyway, yet.
goodluck finding it though, you just never know.

There is already a dump availalbe, but no known way to bypass the bootloader security to load it.
How are the guys at IMEI-Check unbricking them? Either they have a WM5 O2 rom (which means it has leaked) or are they hot-swaping/reflashing roms, or using some vulnerability in the bootloader?
Just out of interest, does anyone have an XDA that has been unbricked by IMEI-Check and did it show any signs of being disassembled?

We don't have a "magic" ROM which can fix your device. It is hard work to open it and to reflash the rom directly to the flash chip...

good guy!
thank you very much!
I would be very very grateful if this ROM appeared!
well, well...
not sure if i'm 100% if this is ground breaking stuff, but i just received my xda from o2 repair centre and when i went to put my sd card in phone there was one in it already from o2 which has WM5 image on it?!

This is indeed quite interesting, it is obviously a SD flash used for restoring the Orbit. If you could make an image of the SD card I'm sure there are many people here who would be eternally grateful.
well, this will be done as soon as i get home tonight, if someone is willing to host the file i will make it available,

I Just UNBRICKED my orbit with this
Hi. A BIG BIG THANX !!!!! I just unbricked my orbit with this. I tried to flash it with WM6 and failed to run the USPL and bricked it. Now using this original WM5 put it back where it was before I bricked it. I had usee Artemis USPL and replaced the RUU_USPL_signed.nbh with this and worked like a charm from boot loader. (record button and softreset) Now I can flash anything I want and bring it back if I brick it again. Thanx a lot. YeeeeeHa
Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum but I must say that I am very impressed abt the works done. I do have a very expensive brick!! Ya! Ya.. my orbit is a BRICK. well I didn't do it, A friend of mine did.. tried to flash WM6 mini O2 into the orbit and VIOLA!. A BRICK!! Well! I knew this wud happen but hey, it wasn't me who did it.Hence I'm in this forum day in day out. tried every possible thing. flashing with SD or MTTY, every thing U guys had offer but got the same device ID error. so far no hope, but am currently downloading the image thru rapidshare http://makus.folijka.pl/OrbitO2UK.rar. Have to get a rapidshare account though. Hope this works.... will post soon.... keep ur fingers crossed.
A Big Hug to step0011. for a hope.
And the rest for the XDA developers.. all i can offer is my wallet.cause I'm not a software developer, but am into hardware repairing. And I will post the results if any for u guys who keeps this forum alive and kicking.
cheers pof and to all.
Another happy WM5 Orbit user again. It has beena chore using an OLD spve200 for the last few weeks. Taught me a valuable lesson though.
Thanks for the up.
Bravo! And well done to the O2 service bod who forgot to take the MicroSD card out!
Now how do I use it? Put it on a SD card and switch on?
i just replaced the german rom file with the uk orbit one (renamed to match original) and then ran the update from windows (phone in bootloader via usb).
A little suprised it actually worked in vista!
Yippeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Fisrt of all whoever he is he owes step0011 40 bucks..
Lots and lots of thanks to step0011 for providing the ROM image and also to the guy who forgot to remove the SD card. He had made a lot of people happy.
Hi guys.
I did it. My orbit is alive and kicking. there is nothing to it, just download the ROM and run RUU. and VIOLA! good as knew.below are the details
bootloader (this is all I can see now but before when it was bricked it showed the GSM no. too )
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
Device information
ROM version: 1.25.206.2 WWE
ROM Date : 10/4/06
Radio version : 02.67.90
Protocol version : 4.1.13.28
ExtROM version : 1.25.206.10
Works like a charm. to think that I wud have to wait for official ROM release.
Now I can do anything I want. I can brick it as much as I can. and flash the WM6 ROM. Now I am thinking of tinckering with the ROM cooking steps u guys are telling abt. I'm going to customise my own ROM. . First of all to superCID the orbit. wish me luck.
much thanks to all who keeps this forum alive.

or if the worst case. please someone help to tell me how i can go back to T-mobile ROM?
many thanks to all
Hi!
I have installed the O2 WM6 Rom on my MDAcIII. The TomTom build in the ROM works for me! I only copied my Card to the SD and registered it, thats all!
Greets
KobiP
hi KobiP,
thanks for reply. which and where do you get the rom build in TOMTOM? can you suggest the link please?
thanks
OK, I have first CID-Unlocked my MDAcIII, then I have installed the WM6 Update of O2 Germany.
http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/xdaorbit/index.html
After the Update, the branding and TomTom gets installed.
hey KobiP

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. CID Unlock means that you can Install other ROMS on your Phone, SIM-Unlock means that you can use no other SIM-Card. The MDAcIII is NetLocked, so you can use just T-Mobile cards.
If that wasn't your question, please ask again
