Default 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

Default 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.

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?

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.
