Hi guys,
ever since my provider changed the stock Chinese ROM to an English ROM my Wizard's WiFi is dead. Unfortunately the provider is not willing to help but refer me to HTC.
Anyway, it seems I am sharing this problem with a significant amount of Hermes users. Luckily for the Hermes users, Drummer presented a solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322225
My question would be twofold:
1. any other Wizard user having same problem with a dead WiFi?
2. any chance to adapt the solution given for the Hermes to Wizard (and how)?
Basically I understand what needs to be done (i.e. to "repair" a corrupted MAC address), but how can I identify the right location of the MAC address in the Wizard?
Cheers!
Interesting ... so none of the current "active" Wizard users on this forum faces this problem except for me (... and 3 other colleagues of mine).
Hmmm....
I read that and it's above my skillset at the moment. I have the same problem but am not entirely sure it is due to this.
Mine will work sporadically for a while then quit.
Almost as if it's a hardware issue and if I take the battery away long enough, it will work for a while then quit.
But I'm baffled as well because when it works, it works well.
Ipaqkiller,
thanks for the reply. In my case I did not get the WIFI up and running at all ever.
It seems it is not worth the effort with the "repairing" of the MAC address if so few have this problem (my colleagues don't bother about the missing WIFI as they just use the WIZARD as a ordinary mobile).
Best shot is to convince HTC to restore the EEPROM data (as my provider rejects to help) ...
Any ideas?
I received a new HTC Touch from my Chinese carrier - guess what's the problem with it .... yes, also no WLAN feature, even the comm manager does not offer the button for WLAN ...
I learnt from a mobile shop that normally my Chinese carrier deactivates/ does not offer any mobile with WLAN ... so my problem seems not a bad ROM update corrupting the MAC address but rather a business model of my carrier .. don't know though whether it is based on software settings or that there is even a hardware component missing ...
(1) Can anyone confirm that they have same experience with their Chinese carrier de-activating the WLAN feature in the mobiles?
(2) How can I tell whether the WLAN module (hardware) is there (without phisically opening the Wizard) and could be re-activated via software?
(As said, I already uploaded the Wizard with different ROMs (incl. changes of IPL/SPL, radio rom etc.) but never got WLAN working ..
wlan prob
my wizard also is havin prob like this..
my wizard searches the wlan but didnt connect it..
it says connecting....then suddenly it stops...and gives error not available..what kind of problem is that..
plz tell me what should i do?

Hi Friends,
regards to all and happy new jear.
Somebody of yours know the email address of softbank assistance?
I have a crazy problem with the pda SB X01HT
The device find and connect it by wifi to the router network, but ... in the connections panel there is not any possibility to use the wireless network.
I think that I lost or cancel the driver that manage the connection or that in the register there is a wrong instruction.
My big problem is that I bought the pda in thailand 1 month ago , in the box was only instructions and sw in jap language that I don't know, I was happy of my purchase, some days after I was in Vietnam, by wifi and skype I was online with my family easily 1 hour each day.
Now if I don't find the solution I have to wait my next trip to thailand in march to solve with tech service my problem.
I hope to find by any, the email address of softbank to ask them how solve my problem now
Or may be that somebody have the original SB register list that I can use to check if all it is right?
thanks for reply

before you contact softbank, you should understand softbank does not export x01ht, does not sell unlocked phones or does not sell x01ht with english windows mobile 5.0. they only sell x01ht with a mobile phone contract.
if your device is unlocked or has english windows mobile 5.0 or you do not have a contract with softbank, it was sold either as an invalid second hand or as a result of fraud.
if you told softbank that you got your device in thailand, it was unlocked or had english windows, i am 100% positive they would not help you. also, softbank warranty is good only in japan. *hint hint*
you should talk with the person from who you bought your device...
hard reset first to check if it's really broken.
by the way, it's hard to understand what is really a problem with your wifi setting... wifi connection is not in connections but in WiFi (Wiress LAN?) in my control panel...
Hi qtotter,
the problem is like if my SB lost one part of sw instructions or the dedicate sw that advise the main sw the presence of wireless network.
Crazy is that I had make the hard reset because the browser ie was work just with umts/gprs when skype was working perfectly by using of wifi - after the hard reset even skype stop to work.
may be that you can help me? to send me the register list to check?
If it is like you show me, I am not really unfortunate in my next trip to thailand surely I want money back or changes to another device ...

hi b eagle,
i did not mean hardreset by pushing the reset button. please read here;
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_For_Beginners#hardreset
(remember you will loose all data by hardreset!!)
i wanna help you, but i don't understand what you are really looking for... what do you mean by "the register list to check"? registry? if so, which key of the registry do you need?
WIFI connected but ...
Hi qtotter,
with the link that you sent me I find the reply to some questions:
My ppc is branded SB but inside there is the tytn english sw, the extended ROM contain the: HTC TyTN 1.18.255.106 ExtROM WWE
I had hard reset but nothing change!
The NETWORK MANAGER show me that the tytn is CONNECT to wifi but in the CONNECTIONS always appear no any presence of WIRELESS SERVICES that I can use to browse my server , internet and/or skype
Really I don't unterstand what's happen!
with this now what you think about?
may be that there are corrupted files that avoid to install few commands?
Regards Freddie
PS: which are the other part of sw that are install from the device supplier but that are not include inside the rom place?
Hi,
my prophet denies to connect to my service Provider (O2 germany) out of a sudden. It will connetct at startup for ca 1 Minute and then loose the Network.
I had the "Gullum Prophet touch some version before X" running for several weeks and then it stopped connecting. I just used it and did no installations or hackings.
The sim card works fine with an other phone and vice versa other sim cards don`t work with the prophet.
I've flashed the "Gullum Prophet touch X" and the Problem is the same.
Any Ideas? thx
I have the same problem too,tried all downgrade and upgrade options but no solution yet,any help appriciated tx.
Have you tried a different Radio ROM (the Wiki!), or altering the settings in Start->Settings->Connections (tab)->Connectons to those specific to your service provider?
similar problem
Not exactly the same - but seems like once a week or so I stop receiving calls and need to restart my PDA. Haven't found a solution yet - just something I started getting used to. It usually happens after a nightly charge.
My only suggestion would be radio ROM, or a different ROM entirely. (both on the Wiki).
sorry for not responding ...
and thanks for your suggestions. I had downgraded my rom and my Radio to the original shipped ones, but the problem is the same!
At least I had a konversation with my provider, that gave my some hope. She thought it might be a network problem and not a hard- or software failure!
why do I have to call them about 10 times saying the same things?
BUT: this call is 10 days ago and nothing has happend so far.
If there is anything new to tell about, I will post it
so long, dertka
if this post is in the wrong place, let me know where it should be, or move it for me and notify me... thanks and sorry if posted in the wrong place...
I tried using the howto to run the OPIE-II linux distro, and it starts up just fine, looks great and very promising... BUT...
I cannot make a phone call. The message 'no modem' keeps appearing, and won't go away.
I noticed some settings panel, mentioning the modem selection, where I could select the serial /dev/ttyS0 at 115200bps, a SIM:local and SIM;hostpc (correct me if I'm wrong), but none of them seem to resolve the issue.
Now I'm having an issue in WM2003SE too with the reception and service of this device (MDA compact version), not making calls and telling me there is "no service", although my other HTC cell (trinity) next to it does it all, full coverage...
My questions are:
- what device or location do I need to point the modem to? /dev/...?) and at what speed if necessary..
- how can I troubleshoot this issue?
- how can I connect onto the dropbear ssh server (address, port, user, pass, ... to get into the phone)
Any ideas are welcome!
Thanks for the help...
Where you download "Opie-II xanadux" and how run on magician ?
Hi
I download Opie from http://www.linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcmagician/images/O.P.I.E-II/?C=N;O=D
do not work GSM - 'no modem' problem.
what to do ?
wery sorry for my poor Eng
I had the same problem. Apprently the Magician isn't supported fully by Linux yet.
And I had this problem... With opie 1 and 2
Whyyyyy???
And why after run Lin a have hard reset?
Ps How second run lin without HR?
My S110 don't see SIM-card in OPIE... and many other...
Ïîä ëèíóêñîì ìîé äåâàéñ íå âèäèò ÑÈÌ, êàìåðó, áëþòóñ, ÈÊ-ïîðò.

I'm not sure, but I had similar issues on a Universal device...
The trick was to pin-disable the sim card from WM5/6...
go to the security settings in Windows Mobile, where you can set another pin, and disable it there...
I know it's not secure! but it's a possible solution for this issue...
I know the Universal (Qtek 9000 and similar devices) has an issue with the sim-unlock-pin stuff, and it might be the same on Magician.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm not able to confirm on mine, as the radio reception is dead on my Magician system, still waiting for a quote from a UK-based repair shop... or another phone to be bought...
If anyone knows a good repair shop for HTC phones, pref'ly in the BeNeLux area, or around, please let me know!
Thanks, and good luck
Once my phone has reception again I'm restarting imaging and testing on my device...
1 - Try to install OpenMoko - all work. Sound,GSM,Blootuth.
2 -Peopls who coddding OPIE, say :"The GSM is working on the Qtopia image (kernel), the fact is that the Phone application does not know how to handle it."
I have tried the opieII image and it is really nice!!! everything works quite quick and smooth, and i love the keyboard
I get the same error with the modem problem. i would use it as an everyday device with the linux image i was that impressed with it
I got the image from here http://www.linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcmagician/
I tried the openmoko image from that site but i get errors in the image when i try to boot it.
I managed to install the openmoko image from this site http://grigio.org/howto_openmoko_htc_magician_s100_dual_boot_wince and while it did boot ok, it too had no gsm capability and i found it slow and hard to use. The image on there does seem to be nearly 12 months old and so there could be something so much better out there.
Anyone know where there are any newer images for the magician?? i know the openmoko project is still going full steam, but im guessing that it takes a bit of work to get the latest version of that onto a magician (adding in specific drivers etc)
anyone with information or needing help (i will try) can email me or msn me on [email protected]

hi!
at the moment i have my third herald from o2 germany,also known as xda terra. all three have the same problem:
i use activesync and an exchange server to use push-email via gprs. but my herald decides to not let me communicate with the rest of the world. after the subway and switching the operator (o2/t-mobile d) (too) often it refuses to establish a gprs connection.
it tries, but fails... but best thing to come: it shows me full network coverage, but i can't call anybody, and anybody can call me. after a softrest, everything works again. gprs instantly, and even a normal phone call is possible.... (wohooo ) and that really annoys me, especially having a mobile phone, and nobody can call you even everything seems okay to you.
i already tried it with, and without installing the extended rom. - no change. first i thought it's probably some software i installed, but after the last hard reset i did not install anything. same problem. last idea of the o2 support was a new sim-card. but no change.
in my eyes it's a radio-rom problem, but o2 does not offer any updates, therefore there is no official way to test that. i would love to try out a custom rom and radio update, but because of warranty reasons i won't do that.
my radio-rom version is 02.85.90, does anybody know whether there are such problems with this version? OR, does anybody have any idea how to solve my problem? at the moment im really ******...
thanks in advance!
Unit will not wifi. We have other units that wifi. There is a test website for HTC. It requires a id and pw for the test site. Also HTC has a 128mg test porgram to test all functions. Please advise
i also have the same problem with wifi on my o2 xda mini-s. based on what i read it has something to do with the router signal whether its wireless b, wireless g or can support both (wireless b/g)
usually today i think most router is wireless g therefore phones with wireless b capability cannot connect to wireless g routers. and my phone before doesnt even work with router wireless b/g. Maybe we have similar problem.
i think there is a registry hack somewhere..
there i found it.
or what i did was flashed a new rom that has already did the registry hack.
i can connect to wifi now
cheers
Dear Janil, thanks for all your help. We have extra mda tmobiles for parts etc. Is the wifi a software program or hardware? The wifi works on our backup mda, but the wifi does not work on this unit.
The issue with the backup mda tht can wifi is the plug to the mda to charge the unit broke off and does not work. We are always running on the battery. Can we use CA glue to put the plug back in the mda? We tried solder that did not work. Any suggestion would be apprecated.
If you want the service manual. We are looking for the sofware test program that HTC service companies have.
Please email us at [email protected] aol.com. We will email it back. It's on PDF.
Also what new rom are you using? We would like to upgrade to 6.5 or higher. We used x2h_wm6.5_v4.8C rom. Nice program uses a exe file instead of the steps unlock etc. That is when we lost the wifi capibilities. Please advise
first make sure that the phone has a wifi adapter (hardware) but hearing its a mda tmobile (i assume its a HTC wizard model) i think it has already wifi capability by nature. its either the hardware for wifi is broken. test it if you can detect a router signal. if you can detect a router signal then there is hope.
by the way i used TnT series by it's right. though its windows mobile 6.1
you can find it here.
after i flashed the rom i didnt need to do the registry hacks for wifi.
my phone instantly can connect to a router.

Dear jenil, thanks for all your help. downloading tnt as we email.
If wifi hardware, what is the part number. remember we have the service manual.
would you like the service manual so we can be on the same page when we ask for the part number.
mda tomobile need help
Dear Jenil, any suggestions for fixing the broken charger plug on the backup mda. Is it better to use CA glue or solder. Please advise
i am not sure what is good for fixing the broken charger. i do not have enough knowledge with regards to hardware things. but i guess someone here can advise you with that.
nonetheless try the rom if ever it would fix your wifi problem with your t-mobile.
one more thing, if it would be your first time flashing a rom then i think you would need this.
Flashing incorrectly may result to bricking/damaging a phone..
