Though the root cert was trusted, until I exported the intermediate cert into the device, I would keep getting this error. To import the intermediate cert, export it from the site - easiest way to do this: -Open a connection (SSL) to your exchange server web access site. - Click on the Lock icon that appears at the bottom right-corner of your browser window. -This will bring up the certificate window - Click on certification path - starting from the top (root) check if all certs (except for the last one in the chain) are present in your phone's cert stores (usually under root). - To add a cert, select that certificate and click on view certificate - Next, click on the details tab and click on the Copy to File button -This will invoke the cert export wizard - choose DER as the cert format and copy the cert to a location on your PC - Using the ActivSync explorer option, copy the cert to your mobile device -Next, on the device itself, use the File Manager option navigate to where you have copied the cert and click on it - it should prompt you to add the cert. - repeat the above steps for every cert in the chain that is not already present in your phone's cert stores - except for the last one in the chain Further questions?

Just updated my 2125 to the latest version of the ROM and then used the referenced software and procedures and it worked great. It was really simple to do. I can’t believe that companies charge up to $50 to unlock this phone. Thanks a ton for this. Awesome.

They asked me to put a non-cingular SIM card in the phone and turn it on, and it should ask for the unlock code. I put one of the my T-mobile pre-paid SIM cards, but the problem is the phone is not asking for the unlock code. Instead it keeps searching for the network, with no luck. Any thoughts or piece of advise. I have a cingular 2125, and I pursuaded cingular to provide me the SIM unlock code to unlock it.

On some of our other phone (before we got the 2125's) I paid thirty to forty dollars to get unlock codes. However, we only have one Exchange Server (as Lyle stated earlier too); so as far as I know, I cannot make it a "front-end server." Are there any other options to get this to work other than disabling SSL? Thanks for the free unlock advice!

I have a Cingular 2125, and just used the SIMLockTool as you described above. Worked like a charm. Interestingly, I got the 2125 in December and Cingular unlocked it for me (I often travel internationally). However, the joystick started acting up and I needed to do a warranty replacement. Since I received a new handset (SIM locked) and now spend most of my time in Sweden, I wanted to get the device UNLOCKED ASAP. I called Cingular and made the request for an unlock code three (3) times in the last week... each time getting a response that "we are unable to provide an unlock code at this time"...blaming the manufacturer. Yesterday (last attempt), before trying the SIMLockTool, I was on the phone from Sweden to HTC and Cingular for a combined 1.5 hours (Waste of time... I know!). I am now checking email over a local (Sweden) wireless carrier's GPRS network... VERY cheap with the Pre-Pay SIM card I am using. Thanks again! GREAT INFO!
