HP iPAQ hw6515 SIMLOCK counter reset? - Beetles

Hi everyone,
I have an hw6515a I bought on eBay, it was sold as "Unlocked", but when I received it, it was locked.
The problem is that I have the unlock code but cannot put it in. The phone has 7 tries on the SIMLOCK.
Does anyone know or can explain how to reset the SIMLOCK counter?
Ive hard reset the phone. I loaded Spanish ROM v1.29, downloaded to 1.1 and the SIMLOCK is still on 7 tries.
Thanks

Simlock counter solution...
Hi all again,
After messing around very much with my iPAQ, downgrading the rom to version 1.06(English), back up to 1.29 (spanish), down to 1.24(English), and vice versa. I was not able to make the simlock counter reset (go back to 0).
I was very blue, because I bought 3 iPaq (two hw6515 and one 6315), the others were for my cousin and his brother-in-law.
The solution was very simple:
1.- I bought a sim unlock code on eBay ($us 15), and just in case bought from another seller (Both sellers gave me the exact unlock code). Anyway my phone company wanted to charge me $us 110 for each phone.
2.- Without the sim card in the phone I deactivated the auto power off and made the LCD light turn off after 5 mins when plugged to AC.
3.- I left my sim hard in the iPaq overnight and plugged to the charger.
4.- Left the phone on all night.
When I woke up early in the morning, the OK/Accept button was activated.
I put in the unlock code and.... walaaaa
Now will do the same to the other.
I hope this can help others with the same problem.
Cheerssss

A little confusion
Hi Kelas,
I bugged Cingular/ATT to the point where they have issued me an unlock code. I, at some point, had gotten a warranty replacement unit from cingular. So when I put a t-mobile card in, it right away said, tried 5 times, wait for timeout.
Anyways, my question is regarding your method. Between steps 2 & 3, you let the phone die, right?

put a foreign sim card in your phone and turn on the phone. when the it power all the way up with the screen where it ask for enter code but you can't click on OK button. JUST leave it overnight with charger plug in just in case yur battery goes down and the ok button should be appear again.

Thanks a lot for the info. I will try it out as soon as I can get hold of a non-ATT SIM card.

Asked "SUPER EASY" .. To see who knows something
(From Spain) I have a 6915 (in Spanish) Movistar company, recently released, and they want to send to a business partner in France.
I wanted to do two things, unlock, and change the ROM to the French.
I asked the unlock code for about € 25, and took to get there, I proceed with the ROM and flasee, with a French Orange ROM.
The result was a perfect change of the French language.
I have reached the code. And now they have sold the code is not valid. Get the message (in french) code rejected.
Questions:
Could it be that by changing the ROM now is not the same code that unlocked when it was in Spanish?
How many attempts have before lock? (I stopped and took 2)
How flash, it resets the number of attempts to unlock?
That's it ... To see if there is any expert to help
And pardon my English ...

I Think Its Bricked!!!!!

OH MY GOD I WAS TRYING TO GET MY PHONE BACK TO FACTORY DEFAULD AND IT WENT TO SWITCH THE PHONE INTO BOOTLOADER AND IT SAID IT WAS A COMMUNICATIONS ERROR AND THE 8125 NEVER CAME BACK ON , THE CHARGER LIGHT DOESNT COME ON IF I PLUG IT IN TO THE WALL CHARGER, BUT IF I TAKE THE BATTERY OUT THE SCREEN WILL GO WHITE FOR A SHORT SECOND AND THE CHARGER LIGHT WILL FLICKER
DO YOU THINK ATT WILL TAKE IT BACK I HAD IT 6 DAYS AND IT WAS HARD SPL 2
Srry for my bad english
You should have a 30 day warranty on the device from store you purchased it from. If not, just contact HTC support if the device will not boot.
so just make up some excuse to send it to att
Be careful when trying to lie to AT&T or T-Mobile. If your device is CID unlocked then your warranty is void. They may not realize this at first but once they dis-assemble the device for refurbishment they will and they may be able to trace it back to you so just be really careful.
can you get into bootloader mode?
are you sure the battery was charged enuff to reboot again?
try changing the battery if you have another fully charged one adn try to get into bootloader ode if you can then youre fine dude

A friend of mine screwed up a G4 8125 he had (I tried to warn him about not flashing anything he found) after he had CID unlocked and flashed some rom from another website (it wasn't from here). He sent the phone in to Cingular telling them that the phone had quit working. They sent him a replacement with no questions asked. About 1 month later he received his old phone back with a letter stating his warranty had been voided due to software upgrades they had found he had done, and he had a charge on his next bill for $399 for the replacement phone they had sent him. He fought Cingular for a couple of months over it, but they held firm to what they had found had been done, and last I knew he finally just paid the bill (over time).
So, I'm glad you were able to do exchanges with T-Mobile, but I know first hand someone that got burned trying to do this, and Cingular did know what had been done. Its not an urban legend, or a story just to scare people. Using tools here will void your warranty. I think in most cases the carriers will not determine this (Like yourself, another friend of mine that I put Crossbow Unloaded on his phone, had issues, and Cingular replaced it with no issues), but it does happen...

Thank you.
I do not lie to people or try to scare them... I am merely looking out for people. Fortunately when I received my handset exchange, I had a G4 that was not CID unlocked and I just put the original firmware back on it before sending it in since it was hardware reasons that I sent it back.
now im scared and dont know what to do the battery was fully charged
i was trying to frlash the original rom and the phone bombed when it went to bootloader,
No need to be scared. I was just looking out for your wallet.
Are you using Vista? Vista cannot talk to your device in bootloader mode.
Also, I highly doubt your device is really bricked. It takes something really stupid to brick your device. Unless you flashed a G3 IPL/SPL to a G4 device or vice versa, your device cannot be permanently bricked. There's got to be a way to fix it.
List all information about your device... service provider, model of phone, IPL/SPL, Whether you think it is a G3 or G4, and a history of everything you did to your phone since you started messing with it.
Hopefully with all of that information, we can figure out what you did wrong to cause this and hopefully find a solution.
Try to get back into boot loader.
Pull the battery out, then put it back in
Hold camera button and press the power button.
It should take you to a rainbow screen (bootloader mode)
If it does, then you are ok. No harm no foul...
Then try and reflash the latest Cingular 2.25 release available from HTC's website
If it does not turn on, then you probably toasted the battery or the mainboard. HTC has a long warranty on hardware issues. They dont cover the battery, but AT&T will, if the phone replacement does not get your phone back up. This is what happened to me. All you have to do is tell them you plugged the phone into charge (which you were doing without even knowing it) and then the phone went dead, never too boot again.
Thats exactly what I told them, with my CID unlocked G3. They replaced and I was all good.
Everyone has a diffrent tale to tell so take the advice as just that. Someone elses experience. Hope this helps.
Its a 8125 g4 the hard spl cingular not sim unlocked the phone's light flickers when i take the battery out i purchased the refurb one and i was reading att's website it said somethin about they will charge you the online price well its only 80 bucks just in case
i knew i shouldve traded with my neice for her G3 , I ordered three 1 g4 and 2 g3's
i Was going to tell them exactly that but i wanted to check here because u guys r smart by the way i charged it this morn and went to flash it back to factory and it bombed do you think the battery is dead
Ok, so enough with the horror stories (my intent wasn't to scare you, but just make it clear, I have seen AT&T back charge someone, so you (and others) can understand the risks)...
Now, lets see if we can recover this device for this guy...
First thing first. Pull the battery out of the phone and leave it out for an hour (or more).
Next - Pull your SIM card out. Make sure the contacts are clean on the card. Put the SIM card back in and make sure its seated well.
Now, put the battery back in. Try to turn on the phone (I doubt it works, yet, but lets give it a shot). If by chance the phone does turn on (most likely to the bootloader mode, then hook up the USB cable and try flashing the Official rom for this device.
If it doesn't turn on (what I expect), then pull the battery again and leave it out for 15 mins. While the battery is out, try to turn on the phone once. This is just to discharge any charge that may be in the device.
After 15 mins, put the battery back in and DO NOT TRY TO TURN IT ON. Now, get your AC wall charger for your phone, and plug your phone in. Again, do NOT try to turn it on yet, just plug it in. Let it stay hooked up to the wall charger for 1 hour without doing anything else to the phone. I'm hoping that at some point during this time, the battery charge light may come on. If the light does come on then let it charge up.
If the charge light still doesn't come on, then leave it plugged in and try to turn on the phone. I'm hoping by this time it will work. If it doesn't then you may have to do a search on these forums for JTAG and look at the hardware option of getting your phone back (I've never done a JTAG operation so I can't help you with it. In the Wizard forum there were discussions of this last winter / spring where someone rescued their bricked phone.
Hope this helps...
just waitin and hopes this works if it does how can i repay you? Free computer software (not Warez) a legit purchased program

Usage:
-connect your device
-Start hard_SPL-G4.exe
-Push the "Check DOC" button
-> The tool now checks whether your device is truly a G4, if not, it will give you an error and stops.
-> after this a dos box pops up, and it loads the softSPL to your device, to enable hard-SPL flashing.
-> then a Rom Update Utility will start, ONLY proceed if your screen is white!
-Proceed with the upgrade, it will only take a minute.
After reboot the IPL version is : 2.21.0001 and the SPL is 2.21.olip
Now you have Hard SPL
You can flash the ROMs with the RUU in the ROM package, should you have trouble with upgrading, try Mun's RUU (thanks for the tip Boto).
So no need to downgrade before upgrade anymore.
But don't flash ROMs containing IPL/SPL.
_____________________________________________________________________
As I have mentioned before in this post:
You shouldn't try to update ROM's with IPL/SPL after HARD SPL.
BUT: If you want to update IPL/SPL for G4 after hard SPL, do as following:
-disassemble ROM with IPL/SPL of your liking
Usage: typho5.exe -x nk.nbf
-reassemble the ROM or IPL/SPL with NKnbftool.
Make shure you only use G4 IPL/SPL for your G4, those are the IPL_2 and SPL_2 files created by typho5.exe.
-copy the nk.nbf you just created to SOFT SPL Folder
-start Soft SPL and flash the IPL/SPL.
You will lose the hardSPL though!
Typho5.exe and nknbftool are available in most kitchens.

I already did most of the work for you. Linked below is the Official AT&T IPL/SPL 2.25.0001 in nk.nbf format with SoftSPL. Just download from the megaupload link below and use SoftSPL to flash the new IPL/SPL. This will remove HardSPL and you should be able to restore the AT&T Official Rom.
REMOVE HardSPL
EDIT:: I know this is not much help to you now, but should you be able to get your device to turn back on, this is what you're going to need to do.
look man I had experienced a problem if it is like yours I can tell you what I did to solve it?
I had a problem in I-mate jamin G3 after upgrading with a wrong rom It doesn't work
If i connect the device to the charger it lights with the 3 color screen
but if i connect it to the usb it flicker with no connection to activesync.
I went to the service center and they told me I have to replace the mainboard
this meant that about 400 $ in my country.
I searched this forum until I found a thread guided me to resolve my problem without changing my device's board.

I read somewhere on this forum that if you want to flash in bootloader mode, you have to switch off USB connection in ActiveSync, go into bootloader mode and then connect the phone to the PC. After that flash your original ROM.
I also had an issue that my wizard battery would not charge. I used an third party USB wall charger, that wasn't good enough... I had to use the HTC wall charger to recharge the battery, it has a little more power.

Is it dead? Say it isn't so

Hi Everyone,
I seem to be having some trouble with my 3 week old Kaiser. I had finally received my 4GB SD card today and i put it into the phone and copy all the files I needed. Then the kaiser started to freeze on TCPMP, so I did a soft-reset. And now it doesn't want to boot up anymore.
(I wasn't flashing to a ROM or anything, just copying and pasting files from PC)
When i boot, it reaches the 'Smart Mobility' black screen and then just shuts off. I left it charging for 20 minutes and still the same problem, only thing is that the longer I keep it charged, the longer it stays on the 'Smart Mobility' screen (tho max it stayed on was 15 seconds)
I don't think its a battery problem since I know for sure the battery is over 100% charged and light turns green when the charger is inserted.
I searched around on this site and online elsewhere and managed to do a hard reset and enter that bootloader screen but nothing new has happened and I'm not sure what to do in a bootloader screen. Weird thing is that once I enter the hard reset screen or bootloader, the unit doesn't shut off.
help?
try flashing a rom
As stated above, flash a ROM. If the hard reset didn´t fix the problem you might have some corruption in the file area containing the ROM. Flashing will probably fix this if it´s only a software fault. You can download a official rom from HTC e-club or if you got a branded phone from your service provider.
Hey everyone,
So I tried to flash Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid V2_1_65.14.06[CubeV2] through the Kaiser_RUU.exe file that came with the download.
First i started MITTY and used the codes:
5. typed "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
6. typed "task 28 55aa" to get the device formatted
7. typed "task 0" to ask the device reboot.
Then I loaded bootloader and opened the Kaiser_RUU.exe, I think it uploaded the new rom cuz the meter went all the to 100% and the program said I successfully loaded the new rom.
So the device restarts but nothing happens... Same problem again: I reach the 'Smart Mobility' black page and then the device turns off before reaching the 'HTC' symbol loading and 'Windows Mobile' pages.
Help?

Hence, you should always remove your card when flashing a new rom.
Oh memory card was removed the very second the device stopped working!
Also SIM card was taken out as well at that time.

Hey everyone,
So this morning I got a call back from HTC and they have determined that it is water damage and want to replace the motherboard AND lcd for a fee of $353.26
But last time i saw, the LCD was working perfectly... i don't see why it needs to be replaced...
So I told them I'll call them back... and after much thought, these are my options:
1) Disregard the repairs and just get the unit back for $28.
then i) buy a used motherboard
or
ii) buy used motherboard AND lcd (if needed)
iii) buy either whole new unit or new different ppc phone
(recommend anything?)
2) Have HTC repair it:
either i) repair only the motherboard
OR ii) repair motherboard and replace the working screen
What do you guys suggest?
So was it rain or toilet?
water damage? thats wierd how did a 4GB memory card give you water damage? sounds to me like they,
1 are trying to screw you over
2 have your phone mixed up with someone else
3 the shipping people were vary violent with your phone
lol yea.. about that...
3 days before that whole mess happened... I was going down the rocks at the beach and slipped into the water (stepped on algea) and the phone was in my back pocket. I know the phone got A LITTLE wet and it started giving me "SIM door is unlocked, please lock it. Device will automatically turn off in 10 seconds" messages when I tried starting it. But a couple hours after the incident the device worked perfectly again. 2 days and a half later, I get my new memory card and BAM this happens.
You moister meter strip was pink. So they saw that and automatically assumed water damage.
dang, that sucks if it was me id have them ship it back and I would order parts and fix the phone my self or send it off to anoter place that fixes phones. One time my Zune tore up and I sent it off and with shipping and everything was about $30. It might be something simple and a cheap fix.
I have exactly the same problem with my s730 wings. And i'm sure it is not a water damage.

Exactly. I picked up a broken one for parts pretty cheap ( around $100 ) and if youre sure you dont need the LCD, look on ebay for ones with broken LCD's. Those are going to be the ones with decent boards typically as the reason they are on ebay are because someone doesnt want to fuss with taking the thing apart.
Just my advice here.
Also heres a CHEAP one at buy it now for $275

I didn't know I needed to install HardSPL, i tried but it failed so i continued on (i know I'm retarded) so i tried using the Diamond Unlocker.
I hit Next, Next, Next until it got to progress bar it stayed on 0% then jumped to 100% and said that my device wasn't compatible or something like that, at that point the image on the diamond faded to black screen. I This happened when i tried Hardspl but i just hit reset and it turned back on alright.....this time it didn't, it doesn't react to the power button at all, iv tried hitting the reset button, booting into boot loader even though I'm pretty sure it doesn't have one, and tried MTTY which I'm pretty sure it pointless because my diamond doesn't turn on.
Please share any knowledge or ideas you have on how i can fix my Diamond, or where i can send it to be repaired (I have no warranty with Telstra by the way)

Why you don't search the repair centre address from the HTC Australia pages?
I found this: http://www.htc.com/au/supportcontent.aspx?id=22104

Business Hours: Monday to Friday 9am - 5:30pm (Australian EST)

Please ensure that you bring your Proof of Purchase and

Thats the only problem, i have already thought of this, although i don't have proof of purchase anymore, can i still get it repaired without proof of purchase?
ANY Replies or ideas are appreciated, please HELP
I would contact them without a receipt you may have to pay for the repair
but I don't see why they should not make money of you repairing your broken device
Thanks for the reply, my question is, i bought this phone off a friend and knowing him he got it from someone else who probably has stolen it, so if i take it in for repairs and it is stolen I'm screwed....right?.....are they able to I.D a stolen device?
Thats what you get when you buy a stolen device. You'll pay it back one way another.
I guess but for $250 who wouldnt take it. I guess i should have read ALOT more instead of rushing a flash. So last question, does anyone know if its physically possible to fix the phone, if it be replacing a bit or get a technician to hardwire or something......is it possible? or am i stuck with a nice new paperweight?

I think its a case of what goes around, comes around.
Hey
I have a similar problem. But mine is bought and original and I have a receipt. Anyways, there's no way around the sending, is there? Because, I think, it'll take a lot of time and regarding the fact, that the mistake is on my side, the warranty is void, isn't it?

V1615 unlocking

Hi there, I have the V1615 (Kaiser) and I have locked myself out of it. I put the 4 digit lock code on just as a stuff you to my very suspicious ex girlfriend and forgotten what the code is. I put the 4 digit code on as opposed to the strong alphanumeric code option it has because I thought I would remember it. I would've remembered it if I didn't change it every other day. Is there anyway of getting this lock off or hard resetting to remove the code? The discs I got with the phone don't seem to be much help.
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you for your help.
Lol, 2 choices:
1. try a few possible code combos
2. Hard reset; see image
When setting up after hard reset I would suggest leaving your GF's details out of your address book ;-)
Thank you very very much for that. It has worked and is a massive help.

Guarantee- no luck

Greetings. Today I just came across a new device from the guarantee, the old x8 restarting for no reason. I received the new phone, I had 11w29, as the eternal model, I tried to unlock bootloader, went well, and the last phase, I hung up, and no longer open, even if i charge it(on first x8, i had no problem). Whether it's the button or I try to put in recovery. Help,I don't know what to do. Excuse the English, not mastered very well.
Any idea ?

I think it is hard brick, but not sure what happened. The old phone was identical (11w29) (11w48) and I unlocked without problems. Why it happened that? Know if this is the warranty repair?

from what i understood, the unlock process was somehow interupted,thats the problem, if your warranty is still active you can go to the repair shop....
"The old phone was identical (11w29) (11w48)"
what do you mean by that, which one was 29 and which one was 48, whats the identical of them?! if the one that hard bricked was 11w48 then there is nothing wrong its been hard bricked because it is 11w29+
It's hard to say exactly, but s1tool, are displayed two values​​, one with and another with 11w48 11w29, these values ​​are identical to the two phones. I was even curious if something can be done to guarantee. The process was not interrupted, you just told me ainchid phone and finally, closed, and surprise, not answered. Now I have a brand new phone, which ran almost two hours.

man, open the back of your phone, remove the battery and see at the phone, there must be a number like that:11wxx or 12wxx (not the one at the battery,but the one on the phone!)
if that number is 11w29+ you shouldnt try to unlock bootloder!!!
Try use PCC and return to factory settings, to 2.1
After that try flash, bootloader, kernel, rom....
@Masograd, did you know what is hard brick? The phone is not detected by PC, or not charging, no signs of life.
@stamatis16 it's some problem right here. The old phone wrote here does not write anything with s1tool Only I saw that. Honorable to the old phone I had those pin plate, this can be seen in picture (golden point). I tried to unlock because s1tool showed me the same values​​(11w29), and I had no problem.
do you mean that you used this method?
why?!
you have remove the backsticker, do you remember what it used to write?(what number11w??)
No, that thought, that's why I attached a picture where because I can't read the anything(not write anything useful)(under battery). Now, s1_erom:r8a029, loader version: r4a045.
oh i see... now its bricked right?! you could have tried this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700465
i dont know what that s1_erom numbers are, but i dont think they have anything to do with 11wxx
A small problem, phone is brick, and the warranty certificate is not passed new IMEI. But what I noticed, I have a code under the battery: SI; Type; S/N and... 12W03( written on the right, near the type code)... facepalm
