Hi there,
Was wondering if this XDA would have any hope of unlocking a h6315 / t-mobile? Worth a shot?
Thanks
I got one over the weekend and its great except for 1 problem :lol: I have AT&T and this is T-Mobile locked as you all know. Does anyone know how I can and when there should be a way of doing this? Is it just a matter of me asking a friend w/ a T-Mobile acct to call and get unlock codes? How do you enter this code. Thanks for any help as although I have been using PPCs for years this is my first step into a PPC/Phone device like the h6315.
BT Stack from HP6315
Is there any way that you can share BT Stack from your HP6315 with us, please?
Sure just tell me how to get the stack off so I can post for u guys? And of course lead me in the direction of how I can unlock if you know.
That would be great!
I am not sure what files we exactly need, but if you be so kind and just copy content of your Windows folder, zip it up and upload to my ftp it would be awesome!
Also, there is maybe folder in your Program Files called Bluetooth or maybe Widcomm (not sure about that)
Please, upload to my FTP
ID64.serveftp.com
akira/akira
For unlocking: I'll just wait a little and see what XDAdev have to say about it. You could try XDAUNLOCK tool, but it kind of risky, since those units are not exactly the same.
Thanks in advance for you time and effort taking those files to us!
Fellow XDA2 users.
LET"S FIGURE OUT THIS BLOODY BT THING!
I'll post in separate topic when files are up so everyone can try to adopt this HP stack.
PPL, PLEASE DON:T ABUSE MY FTP SERVER
There is nothing in there yet. I'll let you know when files are up
Thank you.
Ok so I got home last night and tried to copy my Windows folder to my PC to zip up and FTP to u but it kept popping up with a sharing violtation due to the device being active even though I was copying. Anyway if someone knows the exact files to upload or another way to do this please let me know as I want to help the cause :lol:

First of all - THANK YOU very much for taking time and trying to help us
How are trying to copy those files? I am guessing, via ActiveSync connection. In this case you might have 'sharin violation" problem.
Do you have a SD card? Please, try to copy files with File Explorer or Resco Explorer and then copy them from SD to yout PC and zip them up.
Also, please take a look at your support CD. There is maybe the folder with ROM backup in there.
Thanks again!

i just got an h6315 from compusa in san jose
Same problem, need to unlock it.
No SD card here, is there any other way to get the files to you that you guys need?
Feel free to contact me via AIM as "ecsrun2"
So far I like the device, but i want it to work for ATT, not T-MOBILE!!
-Eric
Any help needed on getting the BT stack of the IPAQ
I'm incredibly keen to get my hands on that BT stack also. Let me know if you need any help. Anyway, copying the entire contents of the Windows folder is the right thing to do.
Good luck!

If you brought it sim free then tmobile should give you the unlock code without any problems. Give them a ring and ask, what have you got to lose?

No one can buy the 6315 SIM free. This is a device that is lock to T-Mobile and they have an exclusivity (Spelling?) contract for the next 3 months. The ones that CompUSA sells are for T-Mobile as an authorized T-Mobile Reseller.
There may be sim free models sold elsewhere in the world but not in the US. This is typically why phones are a little cheap. The provider subsidizes the phone purchase by locking you into a 1 or 2 year contract.

Can you check what is included in the supported CDs please?
Can you please also try to use "Explore" button on ActiveSync to copy and paste Windows, Program Files and(if exist) Widcomm directories, zip it and upload to ID64's FTP.
It would help us a lot...
Thanking you in advance.
it wont let me copy the windows folder
no matter what method i try, i get a sharing violation area, etc
Any ideas?
there was no 'rom' backup or anything even close that on the CD
thank you for your kidness to help us
Is there any didicated directory for Widcomm?
Can you also try this link:
http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html
and check what kind of software is available.
This link can be used only with SN of device.
Thank you
there is no older by that name in either /windows or in the program files directory
Hello Guys
Firstly, Ive been thru this forum and wiki and have tried various things without major success............Im now getting pretty fed-up.
Ive got an O2 XDA IIi, which Ive unlocked ready for my Orange Contract SIM.
My SIM works for phone and text, but keeps getting "no modem" errors if I try to connect GPRS.
Ive downloaded Resco and can see the Extended Rom folder.
Ive downloaded 3 or 4 different Ext Rom Unlockers - without success (Ive deleted each in turn, installed the next version and soft-reset as I went).
I actually have all of the Orange CAB files, which seem to load onto the PDA if i put them in My Docs and click each in turn - BUT, I still cant connect and all reverts back to O2 if I hard-reset.
So, now I have done a hard-reset and soft reset prior to O2 stuff being auto-installed from Ext Rom (?).
Im getting pretty frustrated at not being able to access the write-protected Ext Rom in order to swap the O2 stuff for my Orange settings.
PLEASE - can anyone give me some step-by-step instructions on what I can do ?
AND - let me know if Im looking in the totally wrong place to start with.
Thanks
Paul
My XDA IIi details are :-
Model No PH10C
Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edtn
Processor Intel PXA272
Speed 520MHz
Flash Size 64MB
Memory 122.04MB
ROM Version 1.10.00 WWE
ROM Date 12/24/04
Radio Version 1.00.00
Protocol Version 1337.39
ExtROM Version - Not Showing as soft-reset during software load
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaRomkitchen
the last part
unhide your rom and unlock you rom
copy the cab files to the extented rom dir
edit the txt file to include the new added cab files
and remove the entry for the ones you are removing
hide and lock your rom
and hardreset
Thanks Rudegar
Unfortunately, Ive already tried the unlocker tool (and several different versions of them).
Ive just tried again with the one mentioned (it tells me that the software was written for an older version of windows software), and when i select Unhide, the image turns grey but nothing happens.
When I select unlock, i get an error message and "FL_IOCTL_BDTL_HW_PROTECTION"
When I click OK, i get "- A device attached to the system is not functioning."
Clicking OK again, gives me "extrom unlocked" - but it ISNT unlocked.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Paul
Also,
As I can see the Ext Rom folder, I tried to edit the config.txt file (just to see if it could be edited).
I got a message "No Storage memory available. Tap Cancel, use File Explorer to delete some files and try again. Or, move the note to an alternative storage location. Tap discard to close the document without sving changes"
If I then try to move or delete the config.txt (or any other) file, I get "The media is write protected"
I then installed the Repart_DOC_with_Default tool to make the Ext Rom file larger.
Unfortunately, I get an error "FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed" message and I cannot increase the folder size.
Anyone have any ideas please ?
Thanks
Paul
no if i were you i would try asking or looking in the apline forum because the IIi is alpine and there may be more people there who knows any special things you need to do to unlock alpine devices
Thanks Rudegar
Ive placed a link to this thread in the Alpine section, but as there are so few posts there Im not too hopeful.
Does anyone have any ideas on this please ?
I dont mind paying (or donating) a fair amount in order to get this sorted.
Cheers
Paul
For the mobile that can not unlock by the Extended ROM Unlocker, You have to use the method that DrChair posted here.
You have to find the start point of the ExtROM image which is in Fat16 format, by using Hex Editor and Find "eb fe 90 4d 53 57 49 4e 34 2e 31" (Hex). Copy from this location till 23.2 MB of file size. Open it as virtual disk, then you can do modification.
OMG - I thought things were complicated already.
Surely there must be an easier way to edit Extended Rom on XDA IIi ?
All of the other models appear to have fairly straightforward methods to edit - all except for the XDA IIi
Im afraid all of the link you gave has gone way above my head - it is far too complicated for me.
............
1. First dump your rom to a SD-card, using the well know method.
Which method ? - its not well known to me as i havent found it yet ?
2. Next get the rom to your pc, using ntrw
ntrw ?
3. Using a Hex-editor, copy 2BC019C (HEX) till 3EC019C (HEX) to a file.
ok, i think i will be able to do this.
4. Mount that file as a virtual Harddisk (I use the virtualdisk-plugin for total commander)
??
5. Modify your ExtROM on that Virtualdisk.
ok, i think i know what this means.
6. Umount the Virtualdisk.
??
7. paste the contents of the (modified) file back into the rom-file, at precicly the same position and save it under a different name.
can i do this if the files are write protected ?
8. put the modified rom back onto your SD-card, using ntrw.
? as per 2.
9. Flash your Magician, with the new rom.
Flash ? - and I dont have a Magician, I have an Alpine.
Anyone able to clarify all of this please ??
Paul
Since you are not that technical, I suggest you to forget about it. Or else you may destroy your IIi.
Be understand that architecture of IIi II and Mini are all different. Extended ROM of II is located at DOC (disk on Chip) ROM. But Mini and IIi are not. Mini Extended ROM is located at normal flash memory and not locked READ HERE. I think IIi is the same as Mini. So, wait for some good programmer or hacker to do it. Which may be forever.
You can get some flavour by reading Here. Eventhough you could not read the language, but all the pictures will tell you something.
but it should not be requred to add the stuff to the extented rom to get it to access gprs and mms it's just about putting in the settings
and making sure the right settings are used if there are still
the old settings there
Thanks Guys
I have copied several .cab files onto the PDA for Orange UK Contract settings.
My concerns are that I know the Extended Rom is full of references to O2 and will revert to O2 should I need to hard reset (unless I always keep Orange settings on my MMC).
BUT, Im not convinced that simply clicking onto the Orange .cab files has given me the correct set-up to access GPRS etc - as I cannot access at all.
I keep thinking that somewhere in the darkest depths of the system those original O2 settings are still controlling my PDA.
If someone can confirm for me that by installing and running all of the orange .cab files will indeed set-up the PDA for full Orange access (with no O2 settings running from within the Ext Rom), then I can cope with having to store a copy on my MMC.
Thank very much guys
Paul
if you search the networking forum with the text
GRPS AND <insert your cellphone company>
you are sure to find the right settings plus how to manualy set it up
and when you then sync with activesync you can set it to backup
your settings so if you hardreset you can just restore your backup
and get your settings the way they were
Orange GPRS Settings on 02 xda i
The settings are:-
In New Connections:
SELECT A MODEM = Cellular Line (GPRS)
ACCESS POINT NAME = orangeinternet
USER NAME = Blank
PASSWORD = Blank
DOMAIN = Blank
IN ADVANCED SETTINGS TCP/IP TAB
TICK User server assigned IP address
TICK Use Server Assigned Addresses - SERVERS TAB
You then tap on the G Symbol at the top of the screen and then tap on
Connect GPRS
Two seconds later you are connected.
Thanks Silverhill,
Unfortunately, those setings are already in the PDA and dont connect.
I get a "modem not found" error message.
I can connect with WAP dial-up, but not GPRS.
.....
I have now ordered both O2 AND Orange pre-pay SIM Cards (as they cost less than £10 for the two).
If I do a hard-reset and the O2 SIM doesnt work, I will know the PDA is faulty.
If it works, I can then load the Orange .cab files (after doing a soft-reset during the hard-reset so as not to pre-load O2 from the Ext Rom).
I will then try the Orange Pre-Pay SIM to see if that works.
If it doesnt, it would suggest that the O2 files on the Ext Rom are indeed controlling the settings - even though I stopped them from loading on the reset.
Other than that, I am totally stuffed.
It may be that I have to do a number port of my valuable mobile number and go onto the O2 network.
Cheers
Paul
OK
I received my new Orange PAYG Sim Card, registered it and it worked first time. (I did the same with the new O2 Sim and that worked too.)
Instant GPRS connection - wonderful.
SO, we know that the settings I have on my XDA IIi are correct for Orange and that there isn't any hardware conflict and also that my PDA is not faulty.
A quick phone call to Orange Tech Support AND THEY ASK YOU TO ENTER ALL OF THE SETTINGS AND TELL YOU THE PDA MAY NOT BE COMPATABLE WITH ORANGE !!!!
They really are useless !
I explain (argue) that the PDA must be compatable as the new Orange Sim works fine.
Im told that the only way to check is to go to an Orange Shop and ask them to test my Sim Card in one of their GPRS phones - "which will prove the Sim Card is perfectly OK and the problem is with the PDA" (their words).
I travel 25 miles to a shop and the Sim Card DOES NOT work in their phone.
The assistant offers to call Orange Tech for me to confirm the situation. After being kept on hold for 35 minutes, Orange inform her that my Sim is an older (brown in colour) card and it isnt possible to programme it for newer technologies.
The assistant asks for a new replacement for me and is told that because my PDA is not an Orange supported phone, there is no way for them to run a diagnostic check on it and therefore no way to be 100% sure the Sim is the problem - despite the Orange Sales Assistant confirming it does not work on their GPRS phone.
I am then informed that I can BUY a new Sim Card (blue in colour) for £20 that will work.
At this point I have spent a week trying various settings at home and have stood in the Orange shop for over an hour, so I agree to buy the new card.
Hopefully, it will arrive today or tomorrow and all will be well.
My only "worry" is that I still have all of the O2 settings on my extended rom - so I will keep looking on the forums over the next few months to see if anyone has any better solutions to those currently available.
Thanks everyone for you feedback and assistance.
Paul
buy?
odd when i had my old xda1 stolen i just called my cellphone company
and said it was stolen and they sendt me a new sim card
no charge
same thing had i lost it
Hi Rudegar
Yes - BUY
Ive been an Orange Contract customer for around 9 years (OK, so my monthly bill is only around £3).
They are happy to change my account to Orange World (GPRS enabled) and charge me an extra £4 a month min.
They are told by their own staff that my Sim is actually faulty - the Sim they originally supplied.
They are shown that the XDA IIi is not at fault.
And then they insist on charging me to be able to access the things they are charging me to access.
Like I said, Orange really are a joke.
I have actually placed my mobile phone number (it is pretty special) for sale on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rarely-Availa...429158530QQcategoryZ29781QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
When it sells, I will be moving network and will just go to pre-pay with any bog std number as my call charges and usage are so small.
Thanks
Paul
PS, I hope I wont get told off for plugging my ebay sale.
cant you transfer your nr to your new sim with another company ?
here you can but they take a month to do it guess as a punishment because the thing only takes them 1 sec
SCREAM !!!!!!!
OK, thats out of my system now.
Ive just had the new Orange Sim Card for my contract with them.
Ive tried to register it with them and they REFUSE to pair the new Sim with my XDAIIi
They inform me that because it is a non-Orange phone the insurance would be invalidated - I explained that I do NOT have any insurance to worry about invalidating.
I asked why they were happy to pair a new PAYG Sim Card with the phone a couple of days ago but not my Contract Sim Card.
Their reply was that "by pairing the PAYG Sim and the non-Orange handset, we get new business, but by pairing your contract with a non-Orange phone, we are losing money because you've performed a back-door upgrade".
CAN YOU BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE.
I havent a clue what to do next, as Im getting pretty fed-up of dealing with them.
Paul
lol brand now world where the customer is never right and a bit of a bother
and should count himself lucky that they want to talk to him at all
is at hand
take would take my business elsewhere and never look back
here orange just became more and more unpopular untill they sold their
department to telia and left the country
Hi there, please I request your help on the following:
Since I bought my orange spv m600, I've always had that stupid 'Orange +' icon in start menu programs folder, I can't even mark it as hidden, it will be restored at next boot (at least I guess that happens while restarting).
edit: it should be the SIM card that writes it on every boot. I wonder how to overide/disable that... maybe a reg editing ?
Any idea how I could get rid of it ?
Thanks, niko
No Orange icon here
I have the SPV M600 G4 Model also from orange (Netherlands) And not the icon you are talking about. I flashed and unlocked the phone the day I got it. Think the icon might still be there on your SPV cous its not Unlocked ?
Greetz Ché ter Maat.
It's SIM-unlocked, is yours CID-unlocked ?
I guess there is an extra OEM memory zone which isn't flashed with cooked ROMs. It looks like that. With ANY rom.
i don't know how to delete it, but i know that it's a menu written by the sim card...
i bet that if you try with a different sim card you will not have the icon...

Damn... Thanks for your answer, of course you're right... Didn't try but I'm sure that's it.
Would someone has a workaround ?
I'll try to do my next hard reset with the SIM card off, then create a read-only hidden file with same filename, see if it helps... Stupid providers !
Title edited to reflect the subject better
When the SIM is off, the icon is not there anymore.
Then I tried to create a fake file with same filename and read-only attribute, it was replaced on next boot with SIM
i'm not shure if you still need the answer...
the program that adds the orange menu is SIMTKITAPP.exe
Well, it still interests me, thanks
How do I prevent it to run ? As it is not in my startup folder...

i dont think you can do anything only getting a sim from another company that does not offer does services. the icon comes out only when the sim has apps or services on it. if you try the sim on another device they will also come up.
i think that you have to delete some registry keys... i will investigate...
I downloaded and installed the AT&T official build from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317952
It says it has 4 GB SDHC support, but my phone still says there is no storage card installed.
Anyone have any tips please?
Have you tried a soft reset?
Yes, I have. Still says it's not installed.
Well, in the specs it does say that it has "4gb SDHC support."
If you can find it in File Explorer, check to see that it's not the card by putting it in a card reader and having the computer detect it.
hey
i just got a samsung i780 and i forgot my password and its locked and i got it wrong like 3 times and it locked a different way . this is what it says-- several incorrecct passwords have been entered.

HI, i recently change service from sprint to cricket, i have a htc sprint touch, i accidentaly broke one of the usb pins on my phone, i need to fully flash to cricket. is there any other way? already loaded the cricket prl only text and talk work, as i used my memory card to uploaded it. how can i unlock it so i can load a custom rom with a memory card?
can i use activesync with bluetooth to run the unlocker?
ive tried active sync with BT and didnt have much luck but if you can get it to connect you should be ok ( im just assuming here)

I don't think you can flash the ROM via bluetooth, but I could be wrong. One thing you can do is flash the ROM/unlocker directly from the memory card in the phone. From what I understand it needs to be a non-HD card (usually 2gb or less) and also needs to be formatted FAT32. Then you can download the 'imcokeman' unlocker, decompress it and pull out the *.nbh file. You will have to rename this to VOGUIMG.nbh and put it in the root folder of the card. Then when you activate the bootloader, by POWER>CAMERA>SOFT RESET it will load the NBH. Then you can also put a custom ROM on this way too...just pull the nbh file from what you get, and follow same procedures after the phone is unlocked. I've never done this before, but I have read where people have done it successfully. If you need more info reference this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370&highlight=memory+card.
You can also d/l the unlocker there. The area where they are talking about using memory cards is like post 260 or so...good luck. Let me know if you're still stuck.
Also there's a great write up on the process here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17473.
I tried that it just gets stuck in bootloader, it says "loading..." and nothing happends. what am i doing wrong?

1. Format your MicroSD card to FAT32 (YES - FAT 32 32 32!! not just plain old FAT) (again, this is not required if your card is already fat32; it is ok to have other data on the card). I have read that the card needs to be 2gb or smaller, though I'm not sure how much truth, if any, there is to that...
2. Extract the .NBH you desire to flash from the exe or zip or w/e put it on the microsd card rename it from RUU_signed.nbh to VOGUIMG.NBH
3.Put the MicroSD card in your phone and Get To the BOOTLOADER screen (camer+power+reset) it should then start updating with the .NBH on the SD card and the procedure should begin automatically.
you can also use this procedure to unlock your phone by flashing the .nbh from Cokemans unlocker just extract it and rename it VOGUIMG.NBH or if your stuck at that HTC screen and cant sync because your phone wont boot up.
---This really the best info I can give you...just double check everything you are doing to make sure that you are doing it right. As I said I have never done the unlock process this way, but many people have. Check the second link I gave you in my original post if you need more help...they'll be able to help you I'm sure.
I have done all of that but my phone just gets stuck at the loading grey screen and nothing happends. my phone has the latest rom from sprint. its the 6.1 and I installed it by the bootloader mode with the micro sd card. anything else I can do? if not I found a guy who can repair my mini usb port, but hes about an hour away.
You'll probably waist more time trying to figure this out. I would just drive the hour and get it fixed. It would be more of an investment really especially once you re-sale it for a new phone.
Plus re-programming the phone becomes a whole lot easir 8p
Yeah, that was my Idea, either replace it or fix it. maybe sale it as is and replace it for the touch pro.hmmm, lifes hard choices. what to do...what to do? 8 (
