hey ya'll -- so i have the cingunlar 8525, rom 1.34, and I just recently upgraded to radio 1.20 (w/rom 1.34 -- downgraded bootloader to put it on) -- i was using it for a few days, no problems, then today I realized that I was only getting voicemail (no ring/notification of missed calls or anything) -- and about an hour after that, I got no signal.
I soft reset, removed and put back in the sim card, and still no signal -- so then I thought maybe it had something to do w/the 1.20 radio rom, so I downgraded to the 1.34 rom w/1.16 radio, and STILL same problem
any suggestions???? is my phone busted?
EDIT: as soon as i posted this, it regained signal -- however, when anyone trys to call me, they get nothing but busy signal or straight to voicemail, yet I can call out w/NO problem -- any suggestions now? ;-(
Sounds like a problem with your SIM or your account. Do you have another phone to try?
ah, it was a local tower that was down haha (everything's workin again )

ive been runnin black majik for a while with no problems
until tonight, i wasnt doing anything an i noticed i had no service.
put my sim in an old phone and it worked
put a working sim in my phone and no service.
now i cannont connect to active sync, the light lights up orange for a second and the battery doesnt seem to charge.
altho it was working yesterday fine.
wtf happened?
Welcome to XDA developers on your first post - hopefully someone here can help.
The basic radio (phone) capabilities are determined by a combination of the OS ROM (Black MAJIK in your case) and (mainly) the radio version. Have you upgraded the radio? I have Black MAJIK and have no issues with the radio version 1.43. It sounds like you have 2 problems - the radio and then the USB activesync connectivity.
My obvious inclination would be to reset the device (hard-reset) but did you upgrade the radio and did the phone work straight after that upgrade process? Were there any warnings if you did upgrade the radio?
I normally have no problems at all with activesync but have occasionally seen the same fault as you (orange charge light with no activesync connection established - and sometimes a missing orange light even though the device has not been moved and is clearly connected).
I'd hesitate to offer any other advice just yet - let's see what your answers are and I am sure that others may step in to help. You might like to provide a few more details in your XDA dev profile and others will see where you are, what provider you are with and which model of Hermes you have.

i have the cingular 8525
and i have radio 1.40.30 i beleive thats what it said
and no this did not happpen when i was upgrading the radio...
it pretty much just crapped out
ok well i flashed the 1.47 radio on there and i got service yet its horrible with att
i barely can make calls even with full service.
im going to try an older one i suppose.
ok well i installed the stop wm5 att rom with radio version 1.34 and i dont get service. any idears?
ok well 1.40 doesnt work.
only one i seem to get barely to work is 1.47
why the heck is this, i been searching like crazy
1.46 isnt working either.
all these roms just keep searching for a network and do not connect.
ive tried soft and hard resetting many times with no prevail.
to fix the active sync issue i unintalled .net framework, then uninstalled atcive sync then reinstalled both, now onto this radio issue.
to be honest i thnk this started happening after i poked the light sensor on the keyboard with the stylus, but i doubt that would happen to have anything to do with it.
just so u all know i have tried numerous roms/radio combos, also tried the stock att cingular roms.
nothing seems to find service.
ipl 1.01
spl-2.10.olipro
ok i pretty much figure this is a hardware issue.
what should i do so when i send it back to ATT they wont know i messed with the OS.
obv the stock WM5 cingular os
the radio version it came with
and the spl it came with?
anything im missing?
oh it also doesnt say NO GSM when i boot, it shows the radio version
just an update im sure seeing this topic on top all the time got annoying.
well after no prevail last night with the whole no service thing i wake up this morning put my sim back in, and what ya know i have full service.
althought i still returned it and got a new one because i got that 8525 not more than 30 days ago.
att was very quick to replace it considering its my second one in a month.
ive tryed the black roms, schaps stuff, currently on the offical htc rom
3.54.255.3
with radio 1.48
this is completey clean from any additional software, apps, apart from a t-mobile custom cab, for the web settings
ive tried radios 1.38, 1.43, 1.47 and 1.50 that i can remember
and still i can phone my phone and it goes to voicemail, or turn off voicemail, and it goes currently unavailable!
even with the phone on, looking at it with signal, it still says unavailable now and then.
its fast becoming a useless brick!!
any tips, advice? programs?
I had the same problem over here. It's because of the Ericsson infrastructure of KPN here. When I have a data connection my phone comes unreachable.
My working solution is that I turn of 3G. Now I'm on normal GSM mode.
And believe it or not -> This works. Even my battery life is now over 50 hours with one charge. I'm currently trying to manually activesync. This should also perform better with a one charge!
Greetings and succes!
If you browse in this forum you'll probably find more answers to this question!

ive read that elsewhere, how do you turn the 3g off?
ive just flashed black satin on it,
im looking at the lump of plastic, switched on 2 bars of signal, call the dam thing from my other phone and F all!!!1
"go's off to bang head or phone against the wall!"
right schaps 3.57a
and radio 1.38.00.01 which worked ok for me a few months ago
protocol version 32.71.7020.12H
Im at the point now where the phone wont wake up for a call at all!
and if the phone is on with signal, still wont show a call, just get on the phone unavailable.
and its a 50/50 chance if i can make a call from the hermes.
have i screwed up something in all this rom / radio upgrading?
as you can see from the above my hermes is good for.... being an mp3 player!

Okay, I have never had a problem like this until now. I recently had to replace my VX6800 because of a cracked screen. When I got the replacement, I updated to the newest Radio and cooked a ROM based on 20270. Everything works flawlessly until I am at work. I worked at a power plant where the reception in buildings is very little. The company purchased and installed a few cell phone boosters with the external antennas and the whole nine yards. Before this new phone, new Radio, and new ROM I was able to use the signal from the repeaters, now I can't. My phone sees the signal, but will not use it for data or voice. I can't even dial *228. I can walk outside and use my phone no problem. I am totally confused at what to do next. Anybody have any ideas or suggestions? I am also running PRL version 51056.
Well if you want to experiment, flash on Radio version 3.42.40 via MicroSD (since it's SPECIFICALLY made for this device, and not ported over)
See if you notice any difference doing that.
What were you running before?
That's excactly what I am doing now. After having posted this thread, I am reading more about the .50 and realized that is was from the Vogue. I am in the process of flashing to .40 now. I will let you know.
I downgraded my Radio to 3.42.02 and it still doesn't work. Any other Radio suggetions?
I need help desperately as my HTC touch unlocked phone (originally from Rogers) sometimes works (on Fido network) but most of the times it gives me the error that its Searching for the Signal and then turn the phone off and repeat the same process.
My Rom version is kwbr rom v4.5.3 wwe and Radio version is 03.39.90
I just started having the same problem today. I'm on Fido with a Rogers Touch (Elfin 128/256 MB version), with Onyx ultimate 4.5 from 5/14/09. Until today it worked great, always had the network and made/received calls every time. However today at work I noticed it was stuck on finding network, and wouldn't connect. Since then I've had it connect to the network sometimes, and about half my calls have been getting through, the other half had a few seconds of silence, no connection, followed by three beeps back on the dialer screen. I tried updating the radio, that didn't help, still the same issue. It's not the sim card, as it works 100% in my backup phone.
Anyone know what's causing this and if there's a way to fix it? I could try reflashing the rom, but I'd rather not lose all my installed programs and stuff.
Wellcome to the club. I couldnt find any solution yet

I've tried reflashing the Onyx rom, as well as the Onyx 5 beta, and neither of these helped. The phone network connection is still intermittent, and when it does connect to the network it still takes a few tries before any call will dial out. I'll try completely restoring my original rom backup, but it's looking more and more likely that this is a hardware issue. If it is, how would I go about fixing it? I severely doubt it would be covered under any warranty, since I bought it used, so I'd probably have to do it myself if at all possible. Anyone know of anywhere to get parts for the Elf beyond the normal keypad/case/lcd stuff offered in most of the online parts stores?
Reflashing the original rom didn't do it either, looks like I'll have to contact HTC.
Let me know what solution they gave u.
Is your phone under warrenty?

As I said it's a used phone so it's probably out of warranty, but I'll get in touch with the guy I bought it from and see if Rogers will repair or replace it first, then if they can't or won't do anything for me I may email HTC. I'll bump this thread when/if I have any news.

Judging from the replies, you have a bad device.
HTC Service Centre might be the best place for you.
well the problem is that i didnt purchase it with the HTC or Rogers directly.
Anyways i will contact them again lets see how it goes
You can still bring down to HTC even if you didnt purchase from them.
But it must, of course, be made by HTC.
since i had updated to the new radio my signal been dropping randomly out of no where then comes back.. i had about 20 drop calls since i had flashed to the new radio from haykuro blog and the magic spl. and then i had use JF adp1.5 and that when my E and bars stop dropping.. anyone out there know whats the problem? or is it just t-mobile towers
same thing happened to me. not sure what the issue was but i re-downloaded the radio file from htc, updated the pone and things were back to normal.....actually better.
after the update my signal strength improved. in areas i normally only get E coverage, i now get 3G. in areas i had marginal 3g coverage i now get more bars, etc
aiight cool, cause i was having the same exact issue...so I'm going to reapply the latest radio update...thanks guys.

Same here.So happy.
I was wondering where I can get the update for this?
I have had huge problems with the 1.5 radio for the Dream (2_22_19_26I) ever since upgrading. I even tried to reinstall the radio, to no avail. I still kept losing wifi every x minutes even though the status icon reported a strong signal, and the only way to get it to work again was to restart wifi manually. I also lost positioning via the 3G/GSM network after xx hours, and the only solution was to reboot the phone.
Anyways, I decided to revert back to the 1.1 radio, 1_22_14_11, which seems to have fixed these issues.
where can i get that old radio download?
HELP!!! updated radio now phone get no service!!!
i updated to the new radio just like everyone else then my phone starts dropping my data connection...NOW i reverted back to the 1.1 radio that i downloaded from htc and i still get no service!!! HELP!!!

Call T-mobile and ask them to check the towers around you.

Update:
Ok, so the old radio did not fix the problems, which means this is either an issue with Android 1.5/JFv1.50 or I have one or several apps installed that is causing this. A possible third option would be a funky SD card.
