Anybody pleeeeeease heeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!!!!!!
Thanx

Please give us more information.
What windows are you running? XP or Vista?
Do you have an error number?

I run windows Vista and the error number i get is 101 Connection error when i attempt to run BaUpgradeUT
on the PDA the only screen i fet is the bootloader screen with SERIAL and V.2.06

Ok, the problem in flashing our precious BA under vista is that you need to replace the usb driver with an old version so the updater will work correctly.
Search the forums for vista update or vista flash and you will get the answer and the driver you need.

thanks a lot i ll try it right now been waiting for this

OK i just searched for vista flash and found this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001&highlight=vista+flash

[Q] unlock rom image for hp 6515

Hi
I have a cingular hp 6515a . I cannot unlock it.I need an unlock hp 6515 rom image.please help me.

Unlock hp 6515
Thats very easy.
1: Download the (upgrade and unlocked) ROM from HP's website
2: HardReset your phone, but leave it in the first welcome screen (before the align screen and so)
3: Connect the phone to your PC, and wait for the connection to be established.
4: Run the downloaded Upgrade package (from HP), the phone will show a bootloader-screen.
Sometimes, the phone will not accept the upgrade program.
In that case do the following, but nothing else!
1: Disconnect the phone and soft reset it (it will come back into the bootloader)
2: Close the HP-upgrade program with taskmanager on your PC
3: Reconnect the phone to the PC
4: Rerun the HP ROM upgrade program.
Now your phone will show its upgrade status. It will take a while (about 20 minutes or so), but afterwards you will have a clean unlocked 6515.
I did this with several locked phones (especially Vodafone) from international sources.
Above will work fine, on every PC with Active-Sync (in my case 4.5) installed.
I assume, you will have a backup, made by the SIP-backup program on one of your memory cards. You can restore it after you've upgraded your phone

SKU error,, did not work

Unlock HP 6515
Did you use the rom you download here: HP 6515 ROM upgrades ?
I did it again today, but with a soft reset of the 6515 and shutting down the upgrade program with taskmanager. Do NOT Hard-reset the device or reboot your computer! Before restarting the upgrade, the computer has to reconnect to the 6515 although it is in the bootloader mode.

My hw6515 is dead after the upgrade to 1.21
Hi guys,
I tried my cingular hw6515a to update the ROM to 1.21 unlocked ROM, it went successful but when booting it shows the initial setup and it hung on the second step "Pop-up Menus" and it doesnt show up any next button. What should i do now, please help me..
Thanks a lot in advance.

Has anyone managed to get this to work on a 6515 "A"? When I tried it I got an error message that said something like "Incorrect device SKU". I then decided to try upgrading to 1.20 which went smoothly. However, I still get the same SKU error message when trying to upgrade to 1.21. Is there a way to force it into bootloader mode? Anyone know some trick that I'm missing?

ROM Update 6515
SKU-error means wrong language.....

Accordint to i know sim/Net locks r stored on different partison or ROM image of WM so when u upgrade it it dont removes sim/net locks..............

Hi there,
I've tried upgrade from 1.04 to 1.21WWE, but the upgrade process died on 12.5%.
I use the original rom upgrade from HP with ActiveSync 4.5 on XP.
I've tried many times to restart the upgrade process, but it fails on .1%.
Cann someone tell me where I can find the original 6515.bin. I've try to gogole it but with no success.
Thanks in advance.

I've done it several times. The HP Roms contains also the RadioROM.
If you just think it cannot done... Why don't you give it try...

So how can we solve this problem?

Unlock and language change- this is how it worked for me!
This method worked for for an iPaq hw6515 after many long nights, but may be good as well for others:
Do this only from an Windows XP OS.
Make sure you have up to date ActiveSync from Microsoft!
To Unlock,
Just reflash your iPaq with the THE SAME language from HP official support site: h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=501212&lang=en&cc=us &prodTypeId=215348&prodSeriesId=501209&taskId=1 35
Connect your PDA to the computer and check it is in state connected in ActiveSync.
Download the current language ROM from the provided link, unpack, , and follow the instructions.
This official tool will do everything for you!
When it completes (~30 minutes), your phone will be unlocked.
After that if you need to change the language, follow this instructions:
How to change the language in your iPaq:
Here is the detailed process completed, borrowed from Barr :
1. Download and extract BOTH current and desired ROM language pack from HP site to the computer. Unpack them to different folders.
2. Establishing connection with the computer, copy EnterBL.exe (from desired language ROM folder) to the mydocument folder of the PDA.
3. Run the EnterBL.exe from the PDA. (Now your PDA will go to Bootloader mode).
4. (before executing step 4, prepare for step 5 since step 5 will have to be executed right after step4). From your PC, start updating the current ROM by lunching hpRUU.exe of the current installed language of your PDA.
5. Right after step4, when it will start updating, copy all the data (*.nbf) files of desired/intendedlanguage ROM pack to the current ROM pack. (the Rradio.nbf may be skipped if the device is already unlocked).
6. At the end of copying, it might show an error message, press OK to ignore.
7. The phone will restart!

and error [300] invalid update tool occured
it says this update utility cannot be used on your pda phone.please get newer update utiltiy plz plz help

You have to use SoftSPL, you can get it HERE
In this folder, you copy the "nk.nbf" of your favourite WM6 (and only this file), then start with "START-sSPL.exe" (make sure you're connected via ActiveSync).
When you read this here before, you know everything you need!

Probably you are not following the instructions and doing it correctly,try to go according to the guide,if it still doesn't work,it sometimes happens that SoftSPL fails,than you better do it through 'HardSPL'

Vodafone Original Rom - Downgrade - Problem

Hello everybody,
i have a big problem with my VPA Compact GPS (Trinity).
I flashed a rom from Lalle (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380151) to my PDA, and all is ok.
Although I want go back to my original rom from Vodafone. I downloaded from the website and try to install it on my PDA.
So...after few seconds, the computer said: "Error 260: Connection" (I translate it for you, it was German)
So I go to many forums and searched for this problem.
So I downloaded a "SSPL"-File and run it on my PDA.
Now I was in the Multicolor-Screen. But when I want to flash the Original-Rom, the same problem again, Error 260.
In this Multicolorscreen I also tried to flash Lalle's rom again, and it works...
What is the bug here? Do I need an original bootloader to flash the original rom? Because with the installed bootloader and the SSPL I can install Lalle's rom and other roms.
Also I have Windows Vista, maybe this is the problem???
Please help me quickly and sorry for my baaad English^^

YEAH!
All is dissolved now. I flashed my rom with an old computer with Win XP and it works.
My help for other guys with these problems:
1. A computer with Win XP...
2. Hard Reset with Power+Camera+Softresetbutton with the Stick
3. Start the Updateprogram
4. Follow the introduction
5. When all is fine, then the program find the PDA and start the Flashupdate without any ERRORS
Maybe I can help you...

Bricked Wizard

sorry if this post seems to be a repeat , but i tried the search option and the results were not fruitful
a friend of mine , while trying to upgrade to a TNT ROM , didn't HardSPLed the device first , and successfully changed the ROM of the device , now it is stuck on the blue screen with SPL and IPL versions , and no response . for some reason , the device can go to bootloader mode , but it can not be reflashed , and it does not respond to a hard reset command.
please advise on what to do
regards

When it is in the bootloader mode, and connected via USB, is there a little USB icon in the bottom left? If so, simply flash your phones carrier ROM and all should be fine with it again. You can then apply HardSPL and flash to the TNT or any other ROM that you want to. Is your device a G3 or G4 by the way? What are the numbers after IPL and SPL?

well my friend says that the USB icon is visible there , and the device was indeed a G4. the thing is , what exactly should he do , in order to flash the ROM , since non of imate roms work for it. should he use any special software?
i'll greatly appreciate your help

Is he using Vista or XP?

he is using Windows XP , could it be the PC OS that caused interference?

Well, only if it is Vista does it really matter. He needs to get ahold of an original carrier ROM, such as the O2, or T-Mobile one and flash it to his phone, then HardSPL it, then upgrade to 6 or 6.1.

Download and flash Wizard_love Rom,it might do the trick,then HardSPL and upgrade to any wm6 or 6.1 rom.
What exact error it gives while flashing imate official rom ?

well the wizard has been an imate ,and it was flashed with an Original imate ROM already , but no success , any other suggestions?
thanks again
