hi,
Please could someone offer a bit of advice. I have recently decided to purchase an xda2. so i have decided to sell on my xda1.
The problem is that the theft protection is enabled and i was wondering how i disable it or alter it to the new users details.
I have nevered altered the details before as it was done for me buy the previous owner.
Many Thanks
Zetex
You cannot alter the details unless you burn a new rom.
You can disable it by deleting "IIWPO_startup.exe"
from the startup directory (but it will come back after a hard reset). Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply m8,
no i have a problem, do you know how i change the detail for a new user??
Because i dont know how to burn a new rom or has the files to do so??
please can you help me m8
Thanks alot
Zetex
You cannot change the details for a new user, that is the whole point of it, if it sees that the user has changed or no name is entered it will keep informing the "owner", the only way to get rid of it is to burn a new rom to the device.
Thanks alot for your help.
I have tried reloading the original rom from the O2 website, but because the one on the xda is newer than the rom on the O2 website so it won't load it onto my xda.
I have contacted the previous owner who is a well known member on these forums to see if he can help me (gazzaman2k), i'am awaiting his response, so hopefully he can help me.
If anyone has any ideas of loading the original rom back on i would be grateful.
Many Thanks
zetex
very simple. search the regestry for the old user name and you will find 3 variables, old user name, new name and the phone to send sms. in your case change the first and last so you can use it or delete the phone to stop the option.
you need regestry editor program and I think it is with this ROM.
HI M8,
I tried that but when i did a hard reset, it replaced it with the original number????
zetex
ah mate got your emails and found the thread lol.
It is my old XDA1 what i donewhen i sold it you was just locate the reg string and change it over to your details each time you hardreset it itll just come back the olny way you can do it is to:
burn a new rom and place it over it theres no other way and since jeffs kitchen burnt down theres only yorch's one :\ left but that does mostly american roms and i think it isnt as good as jeffs one
on the dvds i gave you there is the original v3.17 or whateer cant remeber its numbers you could try downgrading it to that as thats just a bog standard rom.
but im not too sure about downgrading roms :\
what ever you do just dont try to downgrade the radio version as that can lead to killing the phone.
only way might be to flash it using a sd card. its all i can think of at the mo.
gaz
hi gaz,
I when i changed the name, i think it says last user, current user & mobile number??? i can put another number in there, is that what you did for me when you added my details???
this will work providing i don't hard reset it??? it will be ok. but i have done a hard reset and now your details are in as last owner, new owner and a mobile i don't recognise????
I have tried putting the rom from the O2 website but it won't update because the xda rom that is on it is newer (v4.00 i think) the one on the O2 website is v3.17....
does anyone know the procedure to put the v3.17 (o2 basic rom) on. when you have v4.00 already on....
I really need to sort this out tonight so i can sell, it as i really need the money...
Please can someone please help me i don't mind if its a basic rom. as i just want to sell it on....
Thanks to everyone who has replied
zetex
shizzer thats my dads mobile :| youll have to do what i said with the developers v1.2 thing i sent you via email. as my dad will go mad getting thousands of texts and im sure the guy you sell to will get upset too that his credit is draining every second.
if you cant do it send me the cradel and XDA + the ruturn P&P and ill get it back to normal for you but downgrading to xda developers v1.2 will put it back on pc2002 which i think is a crap version of windows mobile.
i have the files for v4.00.05 but they require to be written by bootloader way which is very scary to try lol
Gaz,
Thanks for the offer m8, i may take you up on that if the person i sold it to can wait..
i have emailed you about resending those files m8 and i will try and do it myself. I don't mind if the pc2002 is put on it as i just need to sell it m8...
I have been having a look around for a later version than v4.00 that is on my xda but i have been unable to find one, if anyone can point me in the right direct in a .exe format that would be fantastic just to get over my problem....
Thanks alot
zetex
only later versions out are yankee versions mate putting that on and youll loose the 1800mhz band so that means no orange/one2one
anyway sent you an email on how to do it:
ahah ! i know
get DVD 1 i sent you.
go into progs p-z
find......
XDA-developers-SER-v12.zip
copy it from the cd onto you desktop.
then dont unzip it...
just double click it it will then begin to self extract a dos box will pop
up.
b4 you do this make sure the xda is in its cradel and plugged into the mains
charging.
wait about 30 secs for it to stop doing activesync crap....
after then double clci kthe file and wait for the dos box to come.
then a windows box will pop up telling you about it all.
make sure you read it thorugh very very carefully and follow everything it
says
good luck mate
gaz
thanks alot m8, it now sorted..

hey everyone.. just signed up and wanted to say hi.
i just ordered my new MDA, and should be here in a few days! ive had the SK3 for a month after upgrading from the SK2, and its just not what it used to be. Im looking for something with way more functionality other than being cool. Not to mention a more mature phone.
anyway, i just wanted to see if you guys could help me. seeing as how i dont have the phone yet, i wanted to read as much as i can about hacking it up. im aware that the stock phone (USA Tmobile MDA) rom isnt very well, so i need some pointers on where to start...
ive tried searching already, but theres only so many "newbie" threads i can sift through... basically can someone point me into the right direction of everything i need to get started? it would be most appreciated! i guess which rom, how to update, which apps, where to go... lol, basically everything!
ill obvisouly be reading until the day the phone comes (and charged for 12 hours) so i should be more knowledgeable by the time the phone arrives.. but i really appreiciate any help!
thanks!
Maybe you just should to post which MDA you have orderd. Since the good old MDA I / Wallaby isn´t sold anymore, that´s the wrong part of the forum here....
You should take a look at the right part of the forum.
Stefan
LOL..
im such an idiot. thats what i get for posting at 2am... sorry! i found out it was the HTC Wizard!
Is there any sim unlocking solution on my xda atom pure? i been asking everyone but, i think everybody likes to IGNORE a "NEWBIE" in this forum. or atleast can somebody tell me that someone is working on a unlocking tool... i dont tend to be mean of something its just that im so pissed that everyone is ignoring me!
Because you're asking for a sim unlocking solution. You must be from Turkey, but I'm afraid it isn't allowed here...
Also, bear in mind that most of us got our Atoms unadulterated. Even me. BE PATIENT. NOBODY HERE IS GOD, INCLUDING YOU.
why cant you just reflash the firmware?
how sir?! whatdo you mean by reflashing the frimware? i installed the custom firmware that is available in this forum but still no luck. my phone is still not unlocked.
Check whether below link helps.

It says "this model can't be unlocked" on the very first line. <_<
In any case, if they give you access to the bootloader, flashing your unit just MIGHT work. However, I have no garuntees. I've seen far too many people here with junked Atoms, and before Jiggs's ROM I lived with an unstable hacked Atom Exec ROM.
If you still want to try, tho, I heartily recommend Jigg's ROM. If it works, good for you. I don't like flashing locked devices because god knows what else is locked...

Hi guy
I don't thing this forum would like to ignore the question from newbie . For your problem I don't thing ATOM got any sim lock , the reason is your network provider they maybe lock your sim to prevent anybody who haven't buy the mobile from their supplier to protect the profit . It seems my friends who come from Egypt he brought a phone from HK (use the HK local sim is OK)however he can't be use after back to his country (due to use the eygpt locate sim ) .
Finally I think you better contact some local mobile company they may help you to solve.

Agreed with ericj
For my case in singapore you just hav to call the mobile company you are using and they will give u the code to unlock. More or less confirm its not an issue with your atom
Cheer!!

Forum Untold Rule
I think it is normal for an unknown question to be ignored in any forum. It is not because you're newbie... it is simply because no one knows, or it has been answered before. When this happens, googling, and googling, and googling is all you can do.
I have been asking, and asking, and asking on different threads, too, and I also experience being ignored as well. BUT after thorough searching, you'll get to somewhere...
Besides, this section of the forum doesn't have a moderator; so, you should expect not to be answered immediately. I believe, most people who are present are here for one reason alone - ATOM UPGRADING.
Then you should realize that you can not expect someone else to do the searching for you because the members/viewers present are here for different reason.
so... in the bottom line there's no way that my cellphone will be unlocked?
so anyone working on a unlcoking solution? Iphone now a days can be unlcoked, and Atom has been in the market for 2 years now... and still no one has done a unlocking solution? GOD please help me!
one good question is, although we know that if the phone can be use with other sim is unlocked, we can just do this even if it's not with wm os, but, is there a software we can use to find out if our phone is unlocked or locked? don't mean to be stupid though, just wanted to make sure if there is one.......
meanwhile, i will try to search an answer to my question, but i will wait for your answers guys....

Dear freind
Your gene is old gene and u bricked it with HSPL for new gene...
now there is no solution to unbrick a old gene.....
Reverse is possible...u can unbrick new gene flashed with old gene HSPL...
but in your case you need to the service centre...
Anycase it was ur mistake...krazy has clearly mentioned to use olip method first....so u need not to show ur angar in the forum....
If u need help u need to be polite....
correct
ya imblfmstr, I am completely agree with you.
Because that will not work for old to reverse.
It will only work on new gene.
I have got the same issue on New gene so mtty method worked for me.
I have not tried it on old but if you already tried the mtty on old and you got no success then service center is the only option.
They will replace the rom with the default setting or else if ossible they will restore the current to default.
And no one is selfish here everyone is giving there best for to solve problems. you can see this by going through the forum correctly...

You Just have 4 post , and joine 2 month before and you talking like this .
You should search and read carefully and you will found every issue related to this device have been discussed here .
But i think you are not ready to read , you want to give orders and take replay ( HOW?)
How you talk about selfish ,and you want every one here to leave all others problem and question and come to help you with something that we already discussed before , and no result for your problem until now .
How you talk about selfish , and all great people here teach us and give us nice roms and tools free , just for helping others
Buddy , if you want to ask for something, you should search well then ask and once some one read your question you will got replay .
Please see the posts I have hyperlinked in my signature. That will answer all your queries.
Regards,
Hey sunnymobile,
Don't use such rude words for the people here.
People in this forum, infact the entire xda-developers.com team, is great in helping each other without any selfishness.
Even I had bricked my New GENE using the HSPL of old GENE a year back. At that time there was no unbricker for that. But I was confident that somebody here will come up with a solution.
And I had waited for almost one year for the solution. Then finally Orefkov came with a solution to unbrick it.
People here are brilliant in solving problems, we just have to maintain our cool, for other to find a solution.
People here take such a pain to just keep our GENE's up to date. We should respect them for that, instead of cribbing that no one is helping us.
Its our foolishness that we brick your mobiles without reading/understanding things properly. Why blame other for our mistakes ??
Guys, chill he is gone i guess. There is no need to answer threads like this. Just leave it on its own. Remember, we are selfish to sunnymobile
thans from sunny mobile
i m sorry for my rood words.as i say the people are selfish here.i did not mean that every one is selfish.dont it my words so personals.i know that every one here tries to help each other.but in my case no one was relying me.so i was frustrated.i m from pakistan.hope some day some one will find the unbrik solution for htc p3400.thanks to all friends for replying my last post.wish u best of luck

@sunnymobile
Now you are talking business. Thats the way to go buddy.
Don't be frastrated, I know how it feels to have bricked our mobile, because even I had gone through the same frastration. So I can understand your situation well. Thats the reason I had shared my experience with you. And asked you to maintain your cool.
For some problems its very difficult to find a solution, so it may take some time for somebody to come up with an answer/solution.
So don't lose hope, just keep an eye at xda-developers, you may never know, some day you may get a solution.
Dear Sunny, the only possible solution in your case is to send it to service center. there was nothing we could do more. What should we tell you then? And whether you are from Pakistan or from any part of the world, you are no different for us. A buddy is a buddy irrespective of where he comes from, religion or race. We dont even know the location of many of the people here
im sending u a PM chek it @ summy mobile

Rightly said krazy. The cyberr doesn't have any religion, caste, creed or nationality. we are of same breed bound by a common bond (in this case Gene!).
so, it hardly matters from which ppart of the globe you are from.
And as I did already, will again suggest you to visit a service centre
@Sunnymobile,
See how many people are trying there bit to help you out. You should thank Haree for atleast giving you a ray of hope.
People here are really nice and very helping in nature, some times help may come bit late. But it does comes.
One more thing you can try is call HTC costomer care, or you can even email them. You can email them from there site, using the support > Customer service > email option. And ask them where can you send the moblie for service.
Good Luck man.
@haree : So nice of you buddy, to have contacted somebody in pakistan to help sunnymobile.
@Duron23

Sorry folks, cingular8525 stuck with mobile 5 ??? I want to upgrade to mobile 6. Is there anywhere I can do this? Old provider whom i bought phone from two years ago out of business (edge wireless).
I have not known to upgrade to windows mobile 6 until i switched provider to att. Talked to htc, att, and others and apparently i missed the second coming of htc upgrade. I am not very savvy but need upgrade is there a place that is available for me to upgrade or do i have to buy some program? Phone cost me some money two years ago and att wants me to get new phone for their better internet service. I thought i had a GREAT phone already.
Thank you so much for your help. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
It depends whether you want a official rom for not as there are many people in this hermes forum who have cooked roms that run wm6/6.1 and now some are running 6.5 as the os.
Here is a link to the hermes wiki page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes there you will find other pages that tell you all about flashing roms onto your device.
Hope this helps and Good luck
yep, just follow the wiki and make sure u install hardspl before flashing any roms!
make sure u install hardspl
Glad someone remembered to tell them.....
