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

Upgrading problem!

Hi all, I have a P3600 and used the HTC_Trinity_SIM_CID_Unlock_v1 to unlock my phone, and it works perfectly. But now I can't install Tomtom, and when i try to upgrade my P3600 HardSPL my phone goes to bootloader and in PC it says error 242 ( I think ) saying that the phone is not connected to my pc...
I want to upgrade it to WM6.
Can anybody help me please! I have a Hermes but it cames unlocked so I upgrade it with no problem...
Thanks.

And if i try to put the bootloader manualy and then run the RomUpdateUtility I get the error 270 ( The image file is corrupted ).
Can you help me?

i would prob try to redownload the rom file because
when the upgrade tool say it's corrupted then maybe it's right
alot can go wrong with a file on the journey from the site
to the pc

Done, Yesterday I downloaded direcly to windows ( my pc is a mac ) and it works...
Thanks!

[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.....

Retry the update, or downgrade to 1.20

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!

Big Problem?

I was performing the radio update on my MDAIII and now he hangs in the bootloader with USB in the upper middle und 2.08 in the under middle. All resets won`t bring it back to life. If I try to reinstall the update all I get is a blank message screen (update from version to version) in my Vista. How can I get out of there.
I did everything what was stated here
The original BAUpgradeUT won`t find my device. The MAUpgradeUt_noID.exe gives me the blank screen with the update from to screen.

I'm using a Vista PC.
After the Radio update to 1.15 the error described above is not to go away yet.
What to do, I'm nearly in tears.

Finally I got it back but with an old Romupdate from T-Online. Is there someone who got the QTC 9090 update (latest one)

That was fast..
im glad you solved your problem.
i think someone here has it.
just post what you need and make it as a title for others to read in the digest.

Im not a expert but is vista the problem??

Most likely.

Failed MDA II flash with vista notebook
Hello everybody,
I just read this thread in hope to find a solution for my problem, which is quite similar to the one described here initially.
I got a used MDA III with T_Mobile ROM. Since I'm a customer with O2, I wanted to change the ROM to O2 as well. I followed the directions given in an other thread here (don't have the link just now) and during the flashing, the flash application suddenly had no connection to my MDA III anymore. It was securely settled in its craddle an connected to my laptop via USB. Now my MDA III is stuck in Bootloader Mode with USB v2.07 displayed on the screen.
Each retry of installing either the O2 or the T_Mobile ROM now meet with the error 101: no connection. I read here that you managed to update successfully with a vista pc. Thus I wanted to ask, how you did that since I just don't seem to find the reason for the connection failing each time.
Here is what i tried to establish connection so far:
* disabled virus scanner & firewall
* unplugged the mda III and plugged it in again. It was recognized as a new device but that didn't help the connection issue
Could you please post what you did to make the update work under vista? Help would be greatly appreciated

Try on computer with Windows XP and kill activesynk (wcecomm.exe on taskmanager/processes)
Maybe it will work. If u cant flash O2 ROM try to use "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe". On my Qtek 9090 allways flash using this APPS and allways work.
U can try too format device first, put it on candle and use "mtty1.42.exe". On XP, kill active sync, and open mtty1.42.exe and select port USB and put OK. Do "Enter" on command and should appear USB>. After this write Task 28. This will format all your PC. Try install SO after this. This command delete all files on PPC. I have attach files that you maybe need.

thankfor the tipp and sorry for my late reply. Since I have no XP PC available i tried the mtty1.42.exe on my vista notebook. When i run it however, it only lists com port 1-3, no usb port. Do i have to make a special configuration on vista for it to work?
Thanks in advance,

In vista i dont know...sorry for my late reply too.... in XP u must kill ActiveSync process called wincecom.exe. in vista, maybe u have to kill the Windows Mobile Device Center....i dont know...
Dont forget, put the Qtek 9090 in Boot Loader Mode (Pressing Power Button + Record Button + Reset), maybe will appear USB and u can format the device.
If this does not work, try on Windows XP....Find a friend with Windows XP and ask him to use his PC only to do that.
Maybe somebody in forum have the Windows Vista and can help u....
Sorry my terrible english....

Several time ago i got that error too, but i never give up. Try another hardspl for xperia, when u click it, it will auto generate to extract some file, just click romupdate utility and follow the same procedure.
If still got some error, try install it from a fresh computer with usb 2.0 installe and active synch.
You just got that error becouse there is some miss connection with another usb device.

UPDATE: it worked
So I did a hard reset on the phone (settings-> clear storage) and then tried again. Worked like a charm. Installing ROM right now!
Thanks everyone!

Moved to X1 Q&A as not Rom Dev

it still not work...
i have tried all you write me...
no it says first "no file found" and trys to update over usb and than it says again connection error...
what shall i do?
