Ugh, so I've found out the hard way that Mitel sells two SKUs of 6915v2's by purchasing a dozen phones new, unboxing, chucking the packaging, and now struggling to flash them out of SIP mode so they're unusable for me. And without the packaging, un-returnable. Trying my best to utilize these phones as wasting money in our budget as a K12 district is tough to swallow.
6915 "SIP" and a "Mivoice Business" 6915. The only discernable difference I can tell with the SIP version is that the phones have a crudely printed label with mismatched font to cover up the original 6915v2 Mivoice SKU and they have been flashed to SIP firmware. Cool... 50008415 (SIP 6915) vs 500009434 (Mivoice Business 6915)
I also have just purchased a bunch of 6930w's, new, and those were in SIP mode too. That was easily corrected by upgrading firmware through phone's web UI with the Firmware from my MiVB server. Thanks to another post from these forums and this youtube video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6bhMYoc78o When I attempt to do the same firmware update to my 6915's, I am greated with a "This firmware already exists on the phone."
6915d.st is the SIP firmware and MINET_6915d-enc.st is the MiVB MiVB/Minet firmware. The phones are currently on 6915d.st version 6.5.0.226
I've tried all sorts of things to get the correct firmware flashed. Through the UI, through the Recovery Mode UI, changing filenames, grabbing older versions of firmware, attempting to flash other models (the 6915 board inside the phone is strangely labeled 6920..) etc. Nothing seems to work on this.
Anyone have any tips?
