Hi all,
I've got an Orange SPV M1000, and have had it for around a week now with only a couple of problems. A quick Unlock and a ROM flash from the XDAII's latest image on the O2 site solved them all.
However yesterday at around 2pm, my phone simply stopped working as a phone! It was attached to my belt, so I don't know if there was anything on screen to signify this occurance, but now I can't get the bloody thing to work! I've tried flashing to 2003SE (Wrong country code despite xda2nbftool), and now an unaltered Orange image, but still no signal.
Is there an easy way to see if the previous owner has reported the phone stolen? Is there anything else I can try accept a ROM upgrade?
Thanks all.
Current ROM details:
1.66.00WWE
1.10.00
1337.18
1.66.230
The details in my signature were prior to this problem and worked fine.
Upgraded back to O2 software, details as in signature.
Still no luck.

G'day fellas
I've got an O2 XDA, and just cooked up a ROM in the kitchen, flashed it to WM2003 4.01.12 ENG O2euro, which went fine. I then tried to update the Radio Stack, using O2 Latest Official Radio Stack RU 4.21 found here:
http://www.yorch.net/upgrades.htm I did this because the phone wasn't working at all, but I can only get a low signal where I am anyway.
It tried to update the Radio, went to 10% and then 'update failed'.
Now when I try to turn it just hangs on the load screen, and when I go into Wallaby Bootloader V5.17 I get 'GSM ERROR'!!
Is that the wrong radio stack for Australia? what on earth can I do now? It won't even boot up into the pocket PC.
Am I able to flash it or re-flash it again, just so I can get it working?
Please help... thanks.
You have the same problem as me. You can enter the OS but you will need to wait for a long time(~10min). Poor man, i think you can repair it only in the center, may be you will be luck if in your country there is center. Im moscow there is not. When you repaired xda, tell me ok. GOOD LUCK
Thanks for your reply, Long.
I have searched these forums extensively for an answer, and even if I was able to 'boot from SD' I don't think that would enable me to flash the radio again, only the ROM.
Yes there is a service centre here, and I would assume they are able to repair XDA's. I will take it there and hope that the repairs will not be expensive.
It's such a shame this happened, since this is my first Pocket PC, and I've only had it a few weeks. It's been a fantastic device (apart from the phone not working properly) and to think that it can stuff up so easily just by applying an 'official' update... :?
I would very much be curious as to how they would repair this at the service centre, so that we could possibly be able to fix this problem ourselves.
Not being a pc/phone buff I wondered if any of you guys can help me?
I bought a Vodafone V1640 that had O2 software on it. Firstly is this ok? Should it have had Vodafone software on it? Second, I sold the phone on eBay beause it did not match my needs or critera and now the person that bought it is saying there is a ROM error showing and that I had originally bought a duff phone. This I cannot understand, as when I received the phone, I charged it and made sure that it was in perfect working ordered. This was over a peroid of about 2-3 hours and no error showed on the phone what so ever. It actually came sealed as if it had come straight from Vodafone as an upgrade maybe.
I cannot understand why this error messgae is now showing and upon asking an IT collegue at work he has suggested that this person had maybe tried to load new software on to the phone therefore the ROM error being apparent.
Does anyone have any idea why the phone may only now be showing this error? I can assure you all that I did nothing to the phone as it was only out of the box for a few hours before I decided that it wasn't for me.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.
:roll:
what error is showing.
i have a vodafone unit, but have flashed various roms without problems.
i am currently on the latest i-mate.

Hi Steve
Thanks for replying.
I've got no idea what kind of ROM error is showing on the item as it is no longer in my possession. I am trying to contact my eBay buyer to find out exactly what message is showing and when.
What exactly is a ROM error anyway? As I stated previously, the phone was on for btween 2-3 hours and showed no signs of soft/hard ware damage. How do Rom error's occur?
Sorry to sound so vague and amateurish!!
I am no expert and have only been playing with these things for 9 months, but the only time I have ever seen ROM error is when i have been trying to flash a different ROM to my device, e.g the imate version to my vodafone machine.
Ask him what he did, what the error says and what he can see on the screen.Read the guide to installing a ROM and you can see what happens.
ROMs for specific versions such as imate will not flash to others such as vodafone unless you use a specific .exe file (the no id upgrade one).
If you try you will get an error, and sometimes you can get the machine up and running, other times you get a brick which can take time to get back to life.

Dear all,
Mine device using Softbank X01HT and has been flashed to wm6.
Recently, my device got full signal receiption but can't make any incoming or outgoing call (95% can't), the screen will display wordings like "Operation Failed".
I have tried to
1) Reflash the device to unofficial or official english rom
2) Reflash the radio part to 1.41 or 1.43 or 1.47
3) Change to any other SIM card
but problem still occur.
Do anyone got solution/hints for my problem?

I have exactly the same problem and have tried the same solutions and some others. The problem seems to be increasing each day. Every morning, the phone shows No GSM while booting and it gets stucked when I try to make a phone call or establish a data connection (no matter if I just flashed a new radio the night before). The funny part is that some times it works Ok. I need to do several resets to get things going, but the whole thing is getting really annoying.
¿Anyone has any idea? PLEASE!! I´ve read TFW very carefully and haven´t found anything related to this problem.
Hello All,
I recently got an ATT 8525 and I'm trying to use it with my T-Mobile (US) SIM. I was able to successfully unlock the SIM and CID with an util/rom I found on this site (I think the post was from Pof). And I also re-flashed the phone with the latest ROM available.
But after about 5-10mins of usage the signal dies and when I reboot it says No GSM. Looks like the Radio ROM gets corrupted. I tried just re-flashing the Radio ROM and that doesn't help either. It works for short while and again the signal dies.
And also, I'm unable to install any of the generic ROMs (Fantastic Mobiz, PVET 40005) Although I'm connected to Active Sync when I run the Step 1 (ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe), I get a ERROR [222] : DEVICE NOT RESPONDING. And when I run the step 2 directly (update_rom.bat) I get an cannot update itsutils.dll maybe in use error.
As you can tell I've been messing with phone a lot for a couple of days with no luck and my frustration level is kinda high
As of now here’s where I stand. I re-flashed the phone (Image: 3.62, Radio 1.50) and it’s on the “Tap the screen to set up your windows based mobile device” screen. I plan on leaving it on this screen until I can a good solution.
I would like to get rid of the ATT ROM and install one of those hybrid generic ROM that is not Carrier specific. Any help will be much appreciated. Share your ideas, I’m very experimental

Hello all
As usuall we newbies tend to gravitate towards these great expert forums in hours of need. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'v been trying to get my old SPV M3100 to work with my new Three UK sim,
Iv run all the unlocking software and upgraded the ROM and radio with no error messages at all, yet everytime i try my Three UK sim in the SPV M3100 I get a SIMLOCK message and it greyed out so I can go no further.
My current setup is:
ROM Version 3.54.255.3
Radio Version 1.48.00.10
I wondering if it was the origonal unlocking that failed or weather the Three UK sim is just not working this phone.
Please excuse my ignorance, I've had a good root around the forum to see if anyone else has had this problem but I cant really find anything on it.
Cheers
have you tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
thats where I started, I ran the software from my SD card and then ran the herm-unlock v3 after windows restored.
The very fact you've mentioned that probo means I've done it wrong I'll have to try again, I know it didn't work straight off from the USB connection, so I'll try the usb route again.
