Please some body answer

I own a universal o2 xda exec purchased from uk. It has been working greatly for about 8 month (on another SIM provider) without any troubles.
Suddenly it receives no signal, the phone doesn't seem to see the SIM, I can't enen access the phone settings.
After performing a soft reset I checked the device information and found that radio version & protocol version are BLANCK noyhing is written, also the IMEI number doesn't exist, nothing is written.
I tried to install a new ROM but it didn't work, I got an error message about my ROM image that is not compatible with my country code!!!!!!
I've been advised to reinstall the WM5????
Please advise.

Sorry to hear that was it an eaby or simialr purchase?
if it is dodgy or needs rom/imei etc,tbh mate your on tricky ground sadly
as its hard to get help and people may assume its stolen etc ,even tho it seesm your the victim here
i hope im wrong and someone can highlight an easy remedy
maybe the radio stack has just encountered an issue

no it was purchased directly from uk.
and it was working just fine so why now?
no way to format & reinstall the original ROM?

tbh i dont know,but youll be hard pressed to find anywere to help without a imei,thats what i mean
Even tho it's not yourfault i think ,if you start messing with the imei ,its a poss jail term
so maybe people wont rush to aid you,hopefully someone with more expertise may be able to offer help
i just mentioned that due to the fact it may be why limited response to the post
i hope there is a simple and easy fix for you

did u try hard resetting the phone? try installing the rom with a RUU with no_ID
have a look on this page, this may give you additional info;
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal

Can you briefly describe how you did the ROM reinstallation (names of the files you opened, source, etc.)? You shouldn't be seeing the country code error message with the NO_ID installer.

have a look on this link;
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those with Country Code error

You mentioned something about a problem with the radio stack. I tryed to install a No_ID rom and the system stopped at the radio stack update step.
So is it a hardware that has to be changed or exactly what?
and what has the radio stack to do with the IMEI no not appearing.
Sorry for disturbance but I 'm seeking any help

T-Mobile MDA Keys Hang.

Hello everyone,
I am new to Windows Mobiles. I have bought a used T-Mobile MDA (HTC Wizard), The problem with this is all the keys except Power Button, Align Screen & Camera button hangs after a minute or two the mobile is turned-on. Nothing works. I have to use soft keys to make a call. If I press Camera button the camera interface appears, when I close it, all keys started to work normally but again after one or two minutes it hangs and I would have to again use the same technique to make them work. Sometimes all the keys work normally for more than a minute but again hangs. I have searched in all the system settings & I can't find any option to configure it. I have searched many threads on this site to solve this problem but can't find the appropriate answer. It seems to me someone have burned wrong ROM or did something wrong with its ROM for which it is acting like this. Given are the specs of ROM.
IPL/SPL = 2.26. G3
T-Mobile ROM.
I am using SIM of my operator other than T-Mobile. (SIM Unlocked)
Also If I try to Hard-Reset the phone, When It say me to "Press Send to restore factory default settings or anyother key to quite", All keys hangs and I have to make a soft reset to get into working.
Can anyone tell me what the problem and how can i solve it ?
How do I know whether its CID Unlocked or not ?
Does Upgrading/Reinstalling the ROM will solve the problem ?
Is it hardware problem ?
Thanks in advance.

One more thing
I also have did a hard-reset by following the given procedure.
Start->Settings->System->Clear Storage.
It installed the OS after boot and my installed softwares disappeared. Which means it really hard-reseted itself, But still the problem isn't solved.
I am pretty much sure now its ROM/Hardware problem !!
Any idea about the solution ?

Have you tried to flash a new ROM yet? That may solve the problem, it made my power button work again.

I'm not sure, but that sounds to be seems like hardware problems. I'm not sure if that screen actually has anything to do with the ROM at all, which at best, it is IPL related? I would suggest you to try an offical T-Mobile ROM, which includes everything (i.e. IPL, SPL, and ROM) and see if this problem persists.

Can't find the official T-Mobile ROM.
Thanks for your replies. Can you please tell me from where I can find the Official T-Mobile ROM, I have searched on this site & xda-developers ftp site a lot, Some links are broken and somewhere FTP requires authentication. Also can't find it on Google. I think ruu_prodigy_1081002_104_10910_tmo_usa_ship is the original ROM file but can't find it anywhere except the T-mobile site which require a valid T-mobile no. Can you post some valid like here to download the file.
Thanks again.

If you were to go Wiki, at the ROM table page, bottom line, you would to find this
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/
which should be a global site (if not US site), and if you go into it, 'MDA Vario', there is a ROM EXE to update to AKU. I saw it as UK which probably because I have an UK ip, you try going in and see if you have US version instead.
Also, for the TMobile US, you can consider getting a PAYG card just to get a valid tmobile number to get into the page to download stuff, IF you are sure there are something there (e.g. and if PAYG is cheap)

Ok, I got the UK version. I'll give it a try.

Well, I have tried Official ROM. But the problem is still there. I am also now pretty much sure that its a hardware problem. I guess the mobile needs to go to scrap now.

Unusal Situation with Screen Passcode

Hi all,
I recently took out my sim card to replace it with a new one. However, when i placed the new one in and turned the BA on i recieved no signal, furthermore, when i put the passcode in, it said it was wrong. of course, I have punched in the right code i have always been using.
i have tired hard reseting but it still doesnt work.
Are there any other options avaliable apart from flashing a rom in again?
Any help or suggestion will be appriciated.
Kind regards,
Jason

some help would be appriciated

These are both known glitches in the BA with WM6
For the no signal a soft-reset should fix it, for some reason if you remove the battery and then replace, the first boot has no radio initialization, but a soft-reset after that fixes it.
As for the passcode, you have to clean your hive file to regain access to the device. You do not need to format storage, but all your registry settings for installed software will be gone. Most likely a re-install of each app will be needed.

i just went through this..i tried changing my sim card and i was freaked when i saw no radio rom installed..then i upgraded to radio 1.15 and first it worked but again i t showed the same so i went into bootloader an then soft-reset and its working till then ( about 5 softresets till now)

cheers guys, will try that out.

Phone Function Dead?

Ive been having some problems off and on with my phone not getting any service. I would restart the phone and it would work for a while. But now I cannot get service anywhere and the phone seems to not work at all.
Has anyone else experienced this or are there any tricks to try and fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as the device seems to be now useless. Thanks

Yep, same with me. I've just upgraded ROM to Faria's last version and still not working the dam phone func
My provider is Vodafone-PT, and i have a Dual Simcard. Even when the other sim is off (unregistered on the vdf network) my hermes simply doesn't register. Not even the emergency number calls are avaiable!!! However, all the other funcs are working fine.
I think it is a softw issue, but i'm still not getting to the point to solve this problem...hope some masters can help us.
regards

plenty of things you can try and troubleshoot with, hard reset, check for bad blocks, flash new radio/ROM.

As XtreMe_G said. I've been running Faias for the last week or two with no radio problems. HR problems, now thats another story. Mke me wanna go back to wm06.

...my problem now is WORST...i've tried to downgrade SPL to unlock CID and SIM, but for somehow the active sync crashed during the rom upgrade. Now i only see the tricolor screen, and active sync doesn't recognize my term!!!

The tri-color screen is bootloader mode and active sync will not recognize your device at this point. Start the ROM upgrade again and go through it. Sometimes the cooked ROMs might flash otherwise always, shipped roms are capable of being flashed from bootloader itslef.

Carty..

Progressive phone problems

Man, I didn't even plan to have alliteration, and there it is!
So, I have had my cingular 8525 for about a year right now, and in the last 2 weeks or so I have been getting some bad problems popping up. For some background, I bought the phone in Texas and was using it on the cingular network for some time when they switched to the AT&T network. I flashed VP3G's AT&T roms using hardSPL and they worked well for some time. Then, I came to Europe to do a semseter abroad. I unlocked my phone using some software I found here on the forums (don't remember exactly what it was) and got an 02 SIM card. Everything went fine, was working well until I went on holiday to Europe. I didn't really use my phone much there because it was so expensive, but as soon as I got back I started to have problems.
For about a week, my phone would just drop in and out of service in places that it had not had any trouble working in before. What would happen is, in the place where there is normally the bars for reception, there would simply be an exclamation point and any time I would try to make a call it would fail, sometimes with a message, sometimes without. Then a couple of seconds later, I would have full service again, then it would go to the exclamation point again, full service, etc. It just kept cycling through them.
So, I came to my trusty forums here to try and figure out what was wrong. I flashed a different radio (from 1.47.30.10 to 1.48.0.0) which didn't fix it. I tried downgrading my SPL from hardSPL to 1.04, then upgrading back to the most recent hardSPL v7, which didn't work. I tried putting a new OS on it, the 19900 build, which didn't work. I tried switching the radio back, which didn't work. Then I started noticing that when I was starting up my phone, I was getting a 'no GSM' dialog where it used to say the radio version. I searched around the forums, finding some different solutions for the no GSM problem, and decided to try completly reflashing to an AT&T shipped rom.
So, I downloaded the ROM from the HTC site, downgraded my SPL to 1.04 again, and started the flash process. At 11% it stopped and had an error, and after that it wouldn't leave bootloader mode. I again searched the forum and tried to use MTTY to fix it. The command 'set 14 0' didn't work but 'set 16 0' did.
Now, my phone boots again, but it starts up with the AT&T screen, then goes into the 19900 build OS. As it stands now, I still keep dropping in and out of service, but I am afraid to try any more fixes for fear that I will screw something up again (like locking it in bootloader mode). Any ideas of the next step I should take to fix my (probably) corrupt radio?
OS: PDAVIET build 19900
Radio: 1.47.30.10
IPL: 1.03 (from failed AT&T flash)
SPL: 1.11 (from failed AT&T flash)

Update: I just soft reset my phone, and now the 'phone' feature of it won't even turn on when I select it in the comm manager!
Update update: As I was writing this, the phone just turned itself back on without me trying to in the comm manager. Maybe its just possessed, and I should seek the help of a priest!

1). Have you tried taking out the battery for a while? It seems that the hard reset is somewhat different from the soft reset and can fix this...
2). Check for bad blocks with MTTY... Remember though that sometimes the carriers put in "Bad Block" to brand the phone as theirs...
3). Try flashing a stock rom then reflashing wm6.1. This seems to help a hell of a lot of people fix the HR problem.
Hope these help you.... Cheers.
