I have a VVX 150 and want to upgrade the phone to the OBi Edition is that possible?
Here is my Phone info:
Phone Model VVX 150
Part Number 3111-48810-001 Rev:A
UC Software Version 5.8.1.7278
Updater Version 5.9.6.8818
Hello @robblack26,
welcome to the Polycom Community.
to my personal knowledge End Customers are unable to do this but as the cost of the device is so low simply purchase the VVX 150 in the ObiHai edition

I was told by OBi support that the VVX 150-450 were upgradeable to the OBi Edition as long as the phone was at firmware UCS 5.8.1
Hello @robblack26,
again there are no official instructions and Polycom cannot officially support this kind of conversion therefore:

Resolution: Please check => here <=
I assume to revert the process simply use the 3111-48810-001.sip.ld that would come with a UC Software but again as this is neither officially supported or documented you are at your own risk.

Hello,
I have a customer with a Polycom VVX250 that is currently on 6.3.1 firmware from ObiTalk. We are trying to flash it back to Polycom UC 5.5.3. Would it be as simple as following the reverse directions?
I have tried setting the autoprovision URL to <removed by a moderator> to see if it would download that firmware with no luck.

Oct 7, 2011 Question: What SIP or UC Software Version or Updater / BootROM Version is supported by my Phone?
Resolution: Please check => here <=
The above explains that the VVX x50 range only was introduced with UC Software 5.8.0 or later so any software you try must be 5.8.0 or later.
Again this is not an official supported method and proceeding with this is at your own risk.

Sorry for the Bump.
This above process works, HOWEVER!! The default passwords do not work.
Someone was nice enough to put how to do the factory reset without the Admin password and I have performed that as well. But it is not set to admin admin like the documentation states.
Cannot get in using user user.
admin
456
admin
789
So yes, I have the 6.3.1.0 version installed on the phone, but it might as well be bricked.
Anyone know what the default password is from this build. Is it locked because you have to get a license or something?
Thanks in advance for any ideas or assistance,
Goose
