Hello
So far over thirty views on this post and not one response.
If i have to pay for a fix i will.
It would be nice if someone could help thats all.
PLEASE

Well I've spending most of my time trying to find the thread that has already addressed this issue, but have been unable to locate it.
Anyhow if I remember correctly the thread talked about leaving the unit in the cradle while on until it booted on its own.
HTH

I think you are mistaking this forum for a paid-for support service.
If you look for Radio Stack Upgrades on this forum (or any place else on the net), you would notice lots of things can go wrong during these upgrades. These problems appear to stem from various sources, and there's not one easy solution. Our official advice is never to upgrade the RSU until you really, really, really have to, and know that the upgrade will fix know issues that are bothering you. You would also see your general question has been dealt with in detail many times before, which may be the reason people did not jump to answer your question promptly.
On recovery from RSU problems: many people have claimed success from various rescue methods, whose recipes you will find on this forum if you use the search function. If neither of these help, you'll have to send the unit in for service. Radio upgrade problems really show a main design weakpoint of the XDA. But hey, we didn't design it, and we didn't sell it to you either. We're just assembled here to help ourselves, and as many other people as we can. On behalf of this entire community, I apologize for the fact that we couldn't help you as promptly as is the obvious birthright of someone of your stature.
I can sense you're someone special. You post your problem and expect the perfect answer within 24 hours. If you don't get it, you then top it off by writing a post with subject '**** you all', and say you will buy a Sony Clie instead. Now I could tell interesting stories about something which Sony calls 'customer support', but I will not. Our world is a better place if you buy a Clie, and yours may be too. I'm sure many people on this forum would be more than happy to provide suggestions as to what to do with your old XDA.

No I do not think im special, nor do i think this is a "pay for fix" service.
I received my xda prior to release as my company writes software for the XDA. I have been reviewing this forum since it first started, when the only way to get round the sim-lock was to force a software error.
Yes things have progressed...a great deal, and it is by far the best xda site on the web. I recommend this site daily to associates and clients daily,
but it would also seem that some people have a "greater than thou" elitest attitude, and ignore any post which does not challenge their supreme intellect.
I would have been more than happy with a simple "go to this thread" rather than being passed over because my problem is not interesting.
I fly to Saudi on Tuesday, so if anyone wants a mint xda with cradle. then you can have it for free.
If anyone also wants the IPR for xda software that will make them alot of money then let me know. The concept has been tested and the IBM labs in Winchester have agreed to lend any equipment required.
Regardless of your sarcastic undertones, thank for for at least posting a reply.

lost my 8125

so what happens if i lose my wizard and i didnt have IIWPO on it. i have my IMEI. is there any way of tracking it down or not???

What is IIWPO?
Unless you set your owner information to show up on resume, setup some tracking service, or affixed your information to the housing of the device, no. There isn't a tracking system built into the HTC Wizard (or any phone to my knowledge).
Unless someone uses one of those previously mentioned methods to contact you your phone is lost. You could, of course, backtrace your steps to find it, but these are commonsense things you should be trying anyways.
Nothing anyone here can do to help you, cept maybe sell you another.

Not really, you need (AFAIK) operator level equipment to track a phone by IMEI. And frankly, given that the IMEI changer is available on this site for free, it probably won't have the same IMEI for long. Just report to your operator and buy a new one.
Sorry for the loss tho!

Theft protection software Pre-installed in ROM

HI friends I am looking for a ROM for my ORANGE SPV3100 with preinstalled theft alert system. I have lost one PDA in which I installed a theft alert software but as the thief might have hard reset the device before using it the whole protection failed. Somebody told me to have a customized ROM with theft protection software pre-installed in it. So that even in case the thief hard-reset I should be able to get the alert. I need Your help seniors & friends as that would save a lot of money & a dear PDA from getting lost in wrong hands.

PS:I am using official Orange SPV 3100 ROM of APRIL 2007. Is there an way of putting that software in to it.

55views but not a single reply.. No offence but is it so hard that people finding it so hard to reply on thia novel concept. Anyway still looking for replies from seniors & techiesss...

Here, I'll reply.
I have no idea.
That's probably what the other 55 views were thinking, too. No point posting, "I dunno" posts really, is there?

I suspect that the reason there is no one posting is because usually that anti-theft type software isn't free, so if people were to put it into their cooked ROM's and post it online, it would be illegal.
Your best bet would be to purchase the software and cook it into your own ROM (without redistributing it). I could be wrong however, so correct me if i am

i also want to add theft protection to mine in the same manor as you described, are there any guides on how to do this?
just dumping into extended rom?

Simple anti theft protection
It is hard-reset resistive and even resistant to after_theft_new_rom_download procedure:
- you need small single paper where you write your IMEI number and police phone number and keep it secure.
-in case your PDA is stolen, take out your small peace of paper, call police number and give them IMEI from your stolen PDA.
Police together with mobile providers is usually locating SIM-card users of stolen mobiles in no more than one day after switching on.
Mentioned procedure is under GPL so you can use it and spread it anywhere and anytime.

Thanx all of You people for Your views but I have purchased a software for this & I want to put it in to my ROM. Thats what I wanna know if there is anybody who can do it for me. I believe in buying something instead of cracking it & using it illegal but on the other hand I am concerned about my hard earned money going in to hell. May I know seniors if anybody there who knows how to do this trick. I will be very thankful to You as this would increase my faith in XDA.Forum capabilities of standing with good ideas & techniques. Cheers

learn to cook (it is not hard today with the pandora kitchen)
purchase or get the soft, make OEM package of it,
cook it with Pandora and you good
if you want other skilled people to do it customized for you rom you should offer a price you prepare to pay to this skilled people
do it yourself or be willing to pay for service (customized only for you) or to ask someone to make you a favor ,
you are asking for a favor
good luck

@edward-riko, Thanx for Your valuable suggestion. May I know which is the most easiest way of doing the things You have mentioned here. I mean any software that can help me putting that software in to that ROM. This is not something of my concern rather the kind of response once You will have this kind of ROM is going to be enormous. I believe there is one .NBH file which contains everything. Plz guide me as to its making & other requirements & any wrong consequences for my PDA with that self cooked ROM. Looking for Your reply.

I don't know if that will help but I remember about 1,5 year ago on the buzzdev forum (http://buzzdev.net) one guy posted a thread about a software that will read the phonenumber from the SIM in case it is changed and it will SMS it to a predefined number, revealing in that way the number of the thief. The developer required a personal request for this in order to hard code the license in the software that would be purchased. Don't remember price. (Search on the Himalaya 2005 section)

basic flashing with roms from the threads.

Well after much reading and skimming....I was able to brick, unbrick, and finally flash a rom that i like....
I took a while but the way i figure whats spending your whole day off learning about your phone in the scheme of things.
Ok. So, the T MOBILE WING is also known as the Atlas a variation of the original Herald model. This is very important to know because there are very many roms scattered about throughout the threads. IF YOU FLASH THE WRONG DEVICES ROM YOU MAY PERMANENTLY BRICK YOUR PHONE REQUIRING SERVICE OR A NEW UNIT!!!! So, be sure you know which device you have and which rom is for that device. Most you will find in a thread will more than likely tell you which model family it is for.
What I did was began with the HardSPL which you can find in the forums along with many different ways of installing it....
Then I installed a rom not designed for my device....VERY BAD....or so I thought. Much to my amazement because I read so damn much before I began I jumped back to some old thread and realized since i couldn't get the computer to connect properly i could still use my sd card to flash. I flashed the TMO original wing rom to the phone and viola` back to square one....
Next I called T MOBILE. I asked them to unlock my wing. They were very helpful and told me they would email me the info necessary. ***IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS I RECIEVED AN EMAIL TELLING ME EXACTLY HOW TO UNLOCK MY PHONE**** Do not waste your money on one of those websites that unlocks your phone your service provider will do it for free if you are past the trial period.
finally i found a rom I liked (open touch final ) installed it via sd card and haven't had a problem since.
Don't know who's ego I need to stroke but let me say that everything you need to learn how to do whatever you want with your wing is right here in these forums. Thanks to all the contributors and the guys who asked the dumbest questions I was far too cautious to ask. There is a plethora of information here I just wish it was more organized it was a lot of reading. But once again thanks to those who answered the tough questions.

Calling all HTC unlocking SUPERHEROS!!

I have been using the xda developers website for YEARS ( from after getting my first T-Mobile SDA ) and theres always been at least ONE superhero to develop a cool method or utility to unlock these phones...
...WELL! the HD2 is here and now I need a another champion to step forward and crack this thing because I own a T-mobile HD2 purchased off ebay and I cant unlock this thing no matter how hard I try. Every website I have used has FAILED and I cannot believe that these websites know something about this phone that the XDA developer gurus do not.
This website has NEVER let me down before....and I know that unlockers dont appear overnight, but it would just be reassuring to know at least one of these people is on the case.
If you are reading this and thinking "why dont you do it?" alas, I lack the sheer awesomeness necessary to develop such things.

I am reading this thinking "cant you read and/or use the search functionality?"

??
okay, was that sarcasm or what? I have not seen any such unlocker mentioned in this forum or any other.
Please provide link to thread if you know of one.
Begging for such things is not a favourite pastime of mine so if you know, please show.

If there was a better tool to do it WITHOUT generating any codes, then people wouldn't have been discussing those sites in that topic, would they be?
You'll have to keep trying with unlock websites. You'll need that code.

This...
I read something positive about http://www.htcgate.com/. Perhaps that one helps/works.

What are you trying to do exactly?
Network-unlock the phone so you can use any provider with it?
Unlock the device so that you can use any ROM from any country on it?
Maybe if you were a bit clearer with your request you would have got a better answer from me. Just because you know what you are on about when you are typing a post doesn't mean anyone else does!

Okay, perhaps I wasnt clear. What I was after was a sim unlocking method/utility to aid myself and others in similar circumstances of having purchased a locked HD2 only to be suffering a nightmare unlocking it.
I started this thread in really light-hearted fashion and now it doesnt appear to be going that way. Anyways my personal nightmare has ended as I emailed the hell out of the guy that sold this to me and he emailed me the unlock code so job done.
I still think its worthwhile for someone to develop a method/tool for the job and wish any others suffering this hell the best of luck.
BTW: if your locked HD2 is one from T-Mobile save your money and avoid the following sites:
"unlock codes 2u" FAIL
"HTCGate" FAIL
"leo.unlock-now" FAIL
"Unlock now" FAIL
"Unlock-it-now" FAIL

I have the same problem with hd2 locked on o2, no one is able to remove simlock. At least o2 itself provides unlock codes if you ask them, but I'm still waiting for the code....
