Alright so I had a working Mobile 6 ROM on my HTC 8125 it was the Touch ROM, so I tried doing a hard reset one day by pressing the send key to format and it says formatting then FAT Format Failed or what not.
So I reflashed it with a different ROM as the Touch one wouldn't work anymore saying I needed a newer Touch ROM to flash it to my phone. It's running IPL 3.08 and 3.08 SPL not sure if that means I have to downgrade back to 2.x IPL/SPL. However so I got a new ROM flashed to it and it just sits at the booting screen for that ROM even though it successfully flashed. So once again I try the format and it says failed again.
What exactly are you asking for?
I've flashed my tmobile MDA a few times, but i'm no expert.. From what i've read, I believe the SPL/IPL version has to be specific for each ROM. The older one's have to start from scratch at 1.0x SPL/IPL, while the WM6 ROMs seem to be using the 2.0x version IPL/SPL.
What I'm trying to figure out is why it wont flash it's a unlocked phone and it says it flashes just fine goes to 100% reboots and gets stuck at the IPL/SPL OS Screen then if I do the voice dial / other button where it says press send to reset it says FAT Format Failed so I assume the WM6 isn't working right ive tried a few different ones too.
what I suggest is reflashing to your original wm5 rom, and moving on from there
Do you have a Link it's the Cingular 8125 HTC
Anyone? I've tried searching for the original ROM but cant find it.
So am I to understand no one has any clue where to get the original ROM? I've seen it on here before but the search feature is quite useless.
How about going to the source??

Hmm well that was too convinent didn't think of that. Now to hopefully see if that works. If not anyone have sugestions on what would cause this? The device is completely unlocked. Pretty much what happens is no matter what ROM it is, it gets stuck at the IPL / SPL / OS Screen and doesn't go any further. But I'm still waiting on the origional ROM download which is going slow as hell. So hopefully that will do it.
---------------
Origional ROMS now on it
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
Cingular Screen still sits there and doesn't load, freaking crappy ass Windows product just another reason why I got a different phone.
I faced similar problem ("Format is failed") this morning:

Just my luck I left my SD card for the phone at work (which I won't be back at for 3 weeks) bah.
Hi,
i am new to the forum, Please forgive my whining. I have being tryin to flash my imate Jasjam foe the past 3 days without success. i have gone through this forum front to back and tried almost everything. i have even downloaded almost everything you have but still my phone shows "NO GSM" wen booting. It dosent even flash. the closest i have to to is 13%. everything works perfectly except the GSM part. please i need help. im kinda a noob to the flashing thing so i would appreciate details on how to get this done. Thanks
Did you Hard SPL your phone first?
yes i did. i even used different versions of hard spl
Make sure you have Hard SPL ver7(phone should display in bootloaderIPL 1.04, SPL 2.10 Olipro) then try the sd card method of flashing an os. use a stock rom though to see if your radio can be fixed (this is the problem part). You need to format an sd card fat32 then copy the .nbh file onto it (not into a folder). rename it "hermimg.nbh" then put fone into bootloader(tri-colour) screen by pushing and holding ok button above flywheel, power button and using stylus to reset. HOLD ALL BUTTONS UNTIL IN BOOTLOADER... Follow instructions from there.
If you cant reflash your radio rom, you can still put a cooked rom on and use for a PDA but you won't be able to use as a phone again, sorry...
Hope this helps....& good luck...
thanks. i havent tried it with an sd card b4. i do that now. what version of rom do u recommend????
whats that feeling you get when you've felt like your going down that road again?
ps i got sick of trying to find the MMS settings menu in most of those other roms and just reloaded the default telstra one again! >.<
i was kinda hooked on CRC's roms, due to his locality of cooking but i dont mind some of the crystal ones Tyr0's
hi, i have tried the sdcard method. first i hard spled using v7 then i copied the nbh files as u instructed. i have tried it using different .nbh files and i have the same result. it gets stuck on the part where it is supposed to update the radio.what should i do pls
the "No GSM" is when the Radio Rom is blank, and is next to impossible to re-write. there is a section in the forums for this problem.
as far as things go, its probably now just a PDA, but keep searching the forums for people who have rescued their radio rom, you may get lucky
please can u point me to the thread??? i have gone through almost all the threads for a solution and so far i have come up blank.
try looking round here

Depends on how you went about it.
If i were in your position i would try the following
Try a couple of Manufacturer roms WITH radios in it
ie
Try the HTC then try the Telstra 6.0 one.
Secondly check the sim slot.
Carefully bend the guides down and the 6 pins up so when you put in your sim it is very firm.
I had the No GSM problem this week and it turned out to be this (after numerous grief/fixes and workaround).
post back the results
i have pretty much given up on my imate. i have tried every method recommended by everybody but still, i've got nowhere. As a PDA, the device works very well but that is basically useless to me without the phone functions. Please if there is any new input, i would appreciate it. The device boots with NO GSM.
i have actually already tried a couple of "Manufacturer ROMs", dunno if they were good. could u point m eto where i can get any of those??? Thanks
Hello Everybody,
Let me start off by saying that this is the worst phone I've ever used. I had great expectations from this phone but never mind - I'm going to stick to my Excalibur.
This is the first time in my life that i actually bricked a phone. I installed a couple of cooked ROMs and everything went fine. I have experience with CID Unlocking and flashing ROMs. Anyways, all I did was try to flash back to the original Rogers ROM from the Original Shipped ROMS thread and that's when my phone got bricked.
I have searched and done everything possible so far and NOTHING WORKS!
So far I've done this:
1) I have tried flashing the Chinese ROM/Dopod WWE Asia ROM as their official HTC ROM's.
2) Done a hard reset
3) Loads into Boot Loader and the boot loader version is
IPL - 2.21.0002
SPL - 2.21.0000
4) Ran MTTY and i got gsecuritylevel=FF (which means install shipped ROM)
5) Tried running USPL but no luck
6) Tried installing Rogers ROM from the original shipped ROMS thread, still no luck as it gets to 3% and reboots
I seriously don't know what else to do. This is just ANNOYING!! Ive been sitting here for the past 4-5 hours trying to get this damn thing to work.
Is there a way to downgrade the SPL so I could flash a ROM?
Is there a free permanent CID Unock available?
Is there ANY WAY out there to unbrick a Rogers HTC TOUCH
(DAMN ROGERS !!!)
Finally, I'm trying the SD Card ROM Update method and hoping it works.
Mods, if you see this and know of a way to help me out, please do or anyone else who knows what to do so my life is back to normal, please help. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Ok, I tried the SD Card method, it says Checking SD Card Contents and nothing happened, all i see is a tri color screen. The SD Card is 2 GB, is the only file present on the card and it was renamed accordingly (the .nbh file).
Please help as I'm going nuts trying to fix this.
Best Regards,
lukybandit
Anyone at all?
I've done all the searching I could and everything I've tried so far has failed on me.
I can get into the bootloader, get into the hard reset and even can run a mtty session and no matter what I do, it gets stuck at the HTC logo.
In addition to this, all ROM's that I have tried so far keep getting the Error 270 (Obviously due to not being able to even temporarily CID unlocking it).
I did notice a lot of people have bricked their devices and I figure if i can get into the boot loader screen then at least SOMETHING can be done.
Here is what i have learned.
I have the Rogers Touch, and i said SCREW IT, and going to pick up an AT&T Tilt.. I already have 2 S621's, 1 Tytn 2, and i need another phone for my dad.
I had the touch for 1 week and had the same problem as you. Here is what i gather.
1. YOU CANNOT - install the original ROM if you flashed the incorrect ROM
2. Because there is no HARD SPL, i used the USPL, which on reset will result in a CID relock.
3. In this condition, the only way to reflash if you can't get back into the regular today screen is a custom SPL, by Olipro or something.
But Olipro (i keep forgetting his name), charges 75 GBP which equates to $160CDN or so. I bought my HTC Touch used for $200CDN. Makes no sense to fix it. So i am going to try and sell this phone to someone who wants to fix it for cheap.
Sorry man, i looked EVERYWHERE for a fix, and there was NONE to be found, unless you use this guy , who has succesfully fixed everyone elses phone.
Honestly, if my phone was worth alot more than $200, i would pay him with no issue, but because the fix is the same as buying the same phone again, it makes no sense.
Are you serious?!!!
So there's no way for me to fix this piece of ****? frig man.
I paid for this and now I can't fix it?
Can Rogers find out that I tried playing around with the phone or not? I hope not because It's been only 3 days since I got this and it's been barely used.
If there's a fix, please let me know.
That's not even worth it. If there's someone out there that can fix it, please help - Thanks
P.S: Thanks for your response.
Did you to a reformat/Hard Reset on phone first and then tried to reflash?
Worked for me once when i ****ed up badly.
Reset Button and hold down Both call Buttons.
And maybe i should not ask this but you have removed both SD and SIM card?
I'm uploading a 2.26 Rom at the moment.
Doesn't Canada have Vogue devices like the US? (this is a real question i don't know)
Attached is a 2.26 SPL only.
How far does it get in the Flashing screen (45%)?
And here's Full T-Mobile NL Rom with 2.26 http://rapidshare.com/files/122419910/RUU_signed.nbh.html

Yes, I think I did do a hard reset but I will try again in 5 mins. It was a bad flash cause it stopped in the middle I think.
Yup Both SD Card & SIM Card Removed.
Im guessing the only way I could fix this would be - get the original shipped ROM but so far I was only able to find a dump and not an actual update installer.
My SPL & USPL is 2.21 - So what do you recommend. upgrading the SPL and then trying to re-flash..
Would the TMobile ROM work because my phones Rogers branded and no Canada does not have the Vogue.
In answer to your question, it doesn`t go more than 2-3 % and then gives me an Update Error (270)
ahhh...this is driving me insane.
Thanks so much for the help so far. Really hope you guys can help me out here.
The main thing is if it flashes SPL only in general or if it does the same thing.
You might even try just flashing the SPL 1.11.11 from Pof from bootloader.
Or just flash the original SPL.
If it doesn't I don't know a way of unlocking in Bootloader.
But more heads will pop up with some Flashing Nightmares experiences soon.

I just performed a hard reset and tried reflashing but still no luck. It gets to 3% then reboots.
In regards to what you attached, how do I go about doing it? Let me know. I downloaded the 2.26 SPL and the NL ROM.

Original SPL being Rogers (Can't find it anywhere except a dump)?
k I'll try flashing the SPL 1.11
- Any other thoughts, bro? Thanks!
Did u tried SD card flashing??
Yeah, I did.
I tried the .nbh from the Rogers Dump and it says Invalid Certificate. I tried this other .nbh which said Dead_Elfin, still no luck and the Dopod Asia
I'm so mad/upset and I've tried so many methods to fix it. Is there no way I can get the Rogers dump to work in any way?
Hey man!
Somewhere in this thread (2nd page) a guy refers to a ROM that revives your half-dead Touch, "if you trust him"!
But you don't have anything to lose at this point,
so check it out! The link to the ROM is still alive.
Good Luck!
Regards!

Erro 270, wasn't that image corrupt error.
Damn Olipro can't you help a Mod out yous.
Threaten to ban his ass.
When you say Dumped Roger's rom, you prolly mean dumped Roger's rom, then repacked with HTCRT right?
And not the official full Exe installer.

i think its time we make it clear to everybody that XDA means SHARING to help everyone out and not to ask for money in return for something. XDA should only be for those ppl who can work hard for everyone without asking for money.
This phone was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. I'm sick and tired of this already and I still haven't been able to get it fixed.

I tried everything that these guys told you to do, NOTHING WORKS.
We have an operator branded device and do not have an ORIGINAL ROM to load in other than a DUMP.
Thats why we are stuck.
I am looking for someone local GTA that might charge less, but yes your TOUCH is fukked unless you are willing to pay OLIPRO $160CDN to fix a phone thats worth $200ish.
I am buying a TILT today, its not worth the stupid touch to fix.
What a waste of money that was. I am so happy my TYTN2 and my soon to purchase TILT has a HARD SPL to it.
my friend owns an 8525 and all of a sudden it stopped working (cant make/recieve calls and text messages). i tried doing a hard reset and it didnt work. he called att and the tech guy told him that his phone needs to reinstall the rom, which also didnt work. he bought a new phone and gave me the hermes so that i can play around with it. i tried installing wm6 on it and at 15% the update stopped.. and the phone reset itself. now.. it doesnt have a rom installed and keeps on going to the tricolor screen. i tried the unbrick method (in the wiki) several times and still no luck. it keeps telling me that i dont have enough ram but the booting still wont start. what are my other options for fixing this?... my kaiser was bricked before and i did the unbrick method for that and it work.. i havent tried that yet but is there any chance that it will work..?..
he doesnt need the phone anymore but hes hoping that itll be fixed so he can use it as a backup phone.. so.. yea.. any other ideas for ressurecting an old friend?
thanks!!
Sounds like the radio rom is dead.... Whats the SPL? You have a chance if it has Hard SPL installed - should say SPL - 2.10 olipro.
If so, try flashing a stock rom first, then a radio only rom. If you get no love, flash a cooked rom on it. I'd do it using the sd card method.
It should work as a PDA if you can't flash the radio, but its a brick cos no more phone calls...
If he doesn't want that, he could sell it on ebay for spare parts...
Cheers...
I just went through a similar situation last night. I am running dvh_79's v16 (build 19965.1.2.3) Lite. I added his HTC Today Plugin from the sdauto zip file but didn't like how the Today plugin slowed down my phone, so I uninstalled it and that's when my radio took a dump.
I used the instructions in the Hard SPL forum post #116 to unbrick it using the same rom and radio .nbh files and it went off without a hitch.
The first thing anyone should flash onto their phone is Hard SPL v7. Even before any skins. It won't make you 100% safe from bricks, but I'm damn glad I had it on there this morning while I was reinstalling my phone.
BTW ultramag69, I saw a lot of posts by you in various threads talking about unbricking a phone, and correct me if I am wrong, but if I have olipro 2.10 SPL on my phone (which I do), is it possible to initiate an install of a ROM image without being able to successfully boot the OS on the phone? Does Olipro automatically look for HERMIMG.nbh on the SD card? That was a point of confusion for me at first until I ran the HARDSPPL.exe file, but then again my phone didn't brick to the point I couldn't boot the OS.
What are the choices if you cannot boot OS? Are there any that can be performed from the bootloader itself?
Thanks.
well.. i did the kaiser unbrick procedure.. the mtty thingy.. it kinda worked. after that i installed the dopod wm6 rom... it handled the wm6 well---for a while.. after booting, the phone would turn off by itself (w/ 100% battery of course) or even restart itself..
sometimes it will stay on and be "fully functional" (w/o the calling and messaging still...) but somehow freezes when i look at the device information, specifically in the page where it displays the imei (which is missing btw...)..
the "phone" function doesnt work either, as it doesnt show the dialer.. and then after a few minutes, the phone finally freezes...
idk why this happens.. i tried installing other roms but the rom update always freezes. i tried 4 different roms already... so i had to do the mtty thing again...
(i have hardspl installed)
Codevyper, IF YOU HAVE hARD SPL INSTALLED, yes you can run the os flash. Just put the sd card in and reset. As the Hermes is going to the bootloader anyway it will recognise the flash file "hermimg.nbh". I've successfully fixed my phone when thats happened.
akosiryan, it sounds like you may have a corrupted radio rom. This is not gonna make you happy but this is ,at this point, almost 100% unbrickable. You could try to flash a radio only rom - no os, just the radio - but if it gets stuck and you've tried the stock rom then it looks like its a permanent brick...
You should be able to use as a PDA if you don't play with the phone functions though...
Just as a last shot, you could always use MTTY to check for bad blocks BUT this requires you to downgrade the SPL to 1.10 olipro to fix if you do. Please note though that sometimes the carrier does give you a couple of bad blocks to "brand" it as theirs...
Best of luck.

Thanks ultramag69! I am indeed running olipro 2.10 on my phone so it makes me feel better knowing that if I can get the nbh on the card, then I can flash the ROM that way.
oh well.. me and my friend decided to sell his phone on ebay or sumthin..lol.. so its not a problem.. ill try to do one last step tho.. like flashing the radio only rom to see if itll work.. but i dont really care anymore.. lol.
No problem... If the Ebay from where you're from is like Aussie ebay, you should get approximately 1/2 to 2/3 the price that the working models go for. Generally the price goes up about 6 hours before the end of the auction with the price skyroketing in the last 10 mins... I'd probably give it a few days on Ebay to make sure people see it....
If you do get the radio rom working, Hermes (jasjam/dopod 838 pro) go for about $250 - $350Aud in Oz.
Cheers...
ok then! thanks

Thank you.
I should have a sticky with this post , download and install the original carriers rom, if it was originally on o2 uk then use that rom. Ignore all the prompts saying tick if you have an active sync connection and tick them anyway and flash the rom, then hopefully your device will come back to life
the wiki is a vast source of info , if you tried looking on there all of these questions are pretty much answered
Try flashing the t mobile rom from here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
Apologies for asking, but i've been round and round the site and I keep confusing myself as to what to use. I keep thinking I have fulfilled all the right tick boxes then I realise the ROM is for WM6 ... and I've only got WM5 at the moment. Or that its for a different version of the Hermes ... and I wasn't sure it would work on my handset.
I am wanting to flash my rom, should I use the T mobile one or some other one. I have an O2 sim in a T mobile Vario II.
I was also wanting to upgrade to WM6 but not sure if I should try and upgrade that first then flash the rom.
I've unlocked using a v3 unlock from here and I have used the Hard SPL-v7
Can somone advise me as to either which Rom to use or link me to where I can upgrade to WM6, and which way round I should do it.
Thanks.
Since you have unlocked and Hard SPLed your Hermes it doesn't matter what rom you use.
For personal preference though, I use the sd card method to flash the ROM as you get fewer problems that may "brick" your device. seeing as how you have Hard SPLed your Hermes try this.....
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. Copy the .nbh file of the ROM you want on it. Rename to hermimg.nbh .
2. Insert card into Hermes and go to bootloader - hold power button, OK button above the flywheel and reset with stylus. Hold all buttons in until you get to tri-colour screen A.K.A. bootloader.
3. As long as you have followed the instructions and have no spelling mistakes, follow the prompts.
JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD BATTERY CHARGE. You can't charge the battery while flashing.
I find that the only way to stuff up the flash like this is to reset with the stylus halfway through the flash (or have the battery die) so its safer.
As for ROMs, the ROMs you mentioned are stock ROMs. They are full of bloatware and tend to slow down your Hermes. Look in the WM06 part of this forum to see the newer WM6.5 cooked ROMs. Do some reading to see what you want (I believe theres a sticky at the top with about 50 WM06 roms) and make sure to read the last few pages as there are generally any problems and/or resolutions there.
Happy Flashing...
Cheers...
Many Many Thanks.
If I read this right. If I flash using a WM6 rom, will that give me WM6? I know that sounds stupid that I don't know, but I have found some comments really ambiguous due to some techno geek speak... I'm trying really really hard to find stuff and understand. I previously thought it would just change stuff behind the scenes.
Thanks again. I'll try it tonight if I get the chance.

yes this will give you WM6 .. and there are many great versions out there.. just find one you like by trying many of them or just look at some threads and flash.. but remember the rom must be found in hermes section .. do not flash it with a rom made for other devices hehe.. well good luck upgrading we're sure your gonna do great..
Won't get a chance to do it till the weekend now, Beer got in the way last night. However I'll have a go on Sat, which gives me time to go research the ROM's
Thank you! You're a star.
Okay next question.
Should I flash the Radio ROM before or after Flashing my ROM?
Also someone recommended that you should flash a stock ROM first, then a radio ROM then my chosen ROM (I think I'm favouring the Faria32 at the moment and its that thread i found the info on.)
Is there any point to this or should I go for the ROM I want and worry about the radio ROM later. ...
leave the radio alone unless you have truly **** reception on the vario, safer to just flash the rom OS(operating system or windows if you prefer)
Saying that though i have flashed my devices at least a 100 times each and had no problems, main thing to worry about is power, so make sure the battery is charged fully and the electric meter is topped up
You should only flash a stock rom if you are using a big storage rom or you have had hangups and slowness of your device before hand. There is a ATT stripped rom with no radio in it that i use from here, think that might even be in the faria thread.
Anyway try flashing the faria rom then if it is acting sluggish or hanging just flash a stock rom then flash it again with the faria rom
Good luck and happy flashing +
XDA-Developers the only place you can flash as much as you like and the cops dont arrest you
I stayed up wayyy past bedtime last night and flashed my rom.
Colour me happy.
I've an all singing all dancing working phone... though i lost settings when i reloaded my backup... but then finally managed to get them from O2 again... though they had "idiots r us" on duty this morning.
Though MMS still seems to be having problems.... I'll trawl a while and see if I can find a solution to that... though I think its a case of O2 just not allowing it cos its a Tmobile handset. grrrrr.
Download a version of Arcsoft mms composer and install to the hermes, NOT sd card. Run the service wizard, if your rom has it, and that should fix the problem.
Okay. I followed instructions and downloaded Arcsoft. I then tried to run the O2 settings on it from O2UK_Mobile_Settings cab. It doesn't seem to have fixed the mms settings.
I've tried manually typing in various o2 settings which I've located. I'm not sure if I've missed something important or not.
I don't think i have the service wizard on my phone, but having only just been researching flashing ROMs for the last couple of weeks I'm still on a steep learning curve. So if its liable to be part of the Faria 32 Rom and i've just not found it can you point me in baby speak to it.
Appologies for being thick.
I have been trying to find the information on the site, however the search engine doesn't seem to like mms as a seach term... and when i do get stuff up it seems an awful lot of folk asking for help... or its advice for other operators.
NB I have phoned O2 about this twice... and I find it increasingly frustrating being told that they'll send me the settings straight to my phone, which failed doing it on the net so why would it work for them? then they emailed instructions... which involved directions to the automatic setup... which I'd already tried. Then they sent the Mobile Web settings and how to set up my email... none of which I asked for, I asked for the MMS settings. Please tell me someone has the right settings which work and don't make me have to deal with them. I'm sure I speak a different language...
I can't remember if Faria's rom had it in there, its pretty old now.
Do a search for network setup cab. Just do some reading to see if it is ok for you as some are country or network specific, a case in point is Circ_au's setup wizard, Australia only.
I've already tried using the O2 settings cab i did find, as I previously mentioned.
I was hoping someone had advice or settings which definitely work so I could establish whether it is a phone prob or an O2 problem.
I have been directed here but that didn't work either.
I've been on the phone to O2 again (I hoped 3rd time lucky... FAIL) but got the same instructions and the inability for someone working there to understand I have followed instructions, and I do understand how it works... and no the "automatic settings" are not working and no you haven't sent me the mms configuration ... the GPRS settings are not the same thing... wimper...
The outcome of the phonecall was that the person at the other end of the phone decided it is entirely to do with my handset and that i need to speak to TMobile.
.. having unlocked my handset about a year ago and having recently flashed my ROM. I now have a very happy phone and its makeover is spiffing, I don't think it will be a Tmobile thing. ... cept I still don't get MMS. I keep getting a message "error synchronising" when i try a send/recieve.
Is there something I'm missing? I've tried and O2 settings cab and that didn't work. I've been on filesaveas and tried their settings still no joy.
Is there some form of wee thing i'm missing that Tmobile have hidden in there that would prevent me from using MMS? Or is the person at O2 BSing me ... cos they obviously haven't got a clue?
Any instructions or advice welcome.
Okay update is that I spoke to O2 again and got them to check my mms is set up and that my number has been properly ported across. Just in case. According to them all was good, but just in case they were going to switch off my mms then switch it on again and see if that works.
I've run through some settings (after waiting an hour to make sure they had plenty time to make sure they had finished fiddling.) and still no luck. still getting "error synchronising"
any more suggestions? I've a feeling there may be something somewhere that is really obvious and i'm missing something.
More update. Someone suggested that the porting problem may have stemmed from Tmobile not setting up their end of the porting of their number properly. This person managed to sort something out with them, so I phoned Tmobile to see what they can do for me.
... 15 min later and I'm no further forward, however the guy was really really keen to help and was trying to suggest idea's. Eventually I admitted defeat though he seemed really disappointed not being able to solve my problem. It was kinda sweet.
So as long as we trust the folk i've spoken to, O2 and Tmobile have got everything sorted... so it should just be a phone problem... most likely my settings
but its still not working. I'm still getting an error synchronising message when i hit send/recieve and nothing is sending from my phone.
Okay. I'm such a noob!!!
Forgot to hard reset after flashing my rom... I appear to be having limited success MMSing now. I say limited i've a couple of mates getting the weblink rather than the picture, but at least I know it isn't a phone problem!!!
Hopefully my witterings will help someone else with similar problem.
Thanks for all the help.
