Hi All... Sorry if this has already been answered... I have recently updated to wm6 on my xda exec. I understand that its a G3. I noticed today the stack was unstable. It wasnt dropped over the last few days. Tonight the stack completely failed and when it posts it says NO GSM IN red text... where i would have expected it to show a version number. Does anyone have and clues what is going on.
I have tried 3 different cooks including the latest o2xda execwm5 rom but to no avail.
Thanks in advance!!
update
I have done some more searching, i have noticed that i may have a bad flash on the radio... But it worked sunday night and monday morning and lunch time. It stopped working tonight and was intermittent for about 3 hrs. Now its not working at all. Does that sound like rom? or hardware?
Either way
Can someone tell me if its bricked? If so i can drop my fruitless efforts at searching for a fix.. and bin it.

One of my Universals has just started doing this. Working on a way to fix (that does not involve jTAG if I can help it). There is a fair bit of info in the forum on the subject.

@ dma147
Thx for the reply. I found it very useful.
@dma147
What kind of reply was that??? Useless and rude at best...
@saaduk
Anyway, search this forum, I remember a similar problem mentioned here. Otherwise try a hard reset and switch to a different radio rom. Sounds like somehow the software got corrupted?
Regards, A
tsk i upgraded the radio version after i fixed my phone to work variably better from when i got it (upper right screen tap). i was so happy it was stable because i went through 4 sleepless nights fixing this thing and trying everything (hours of testing). i plug it in my usb and happily transferring files. i leave it plugged and the bugger is working. perfect. my apps. no problems. reading ebooks too.
i come back decide to see what the fuss about the radio is so i decided to upgrade to the file HERM_Radinly_1.43.00 ... after successfully loading, not for long about 5 more mins plugged poof! disconnect sound. lcd faded. phone fried no red light when plugged. have two batteries so it's not the batteries. not the connections either. nothing. dead. tsk... and i was so excited.
so warning. and if anyone knows why. why? thinking i fried something inside gonna change capacitor to see. tsk tsk htc hermes take my karma away and leave my coming new tytn II alone!
oh and btw im using herm 200.
x01ht softbank unlocked. lousy.
Oh and anybody know what serials have rlod on...tytn II? too tired to read ive read so many posts. so sorry guys and girls i have to ask. i know it's out there but just need sleep now. 5 am
oh and to add. i put my phone into hell and disassemblies countless of times and it still works. damn radio was its death.
SORRY THERE APPARENTLY IS AN UNBRICKING THREAD SOMEWHERE. but link wont work. anyone? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick

Hello - I've been searching these forums and the wiki and Google too looking for a solution to this but so far, can't find a solution so hope members here can help:
I recently got another XDA Exec and a week ago, the phone mic stopped working. I know its not a hardware problem as the phone can record my voice for notes.
I've done a few hard resets and each time, nothing changes, so am truly baffled.
I'd be very grateful for any answers to this, and apologise in advance if I have missed an answer that has already been posted - I have tried searching, honest!
Cheers,
JB

Try another ROM...perhaps?
I could do, but before I attempt anything like that - something I've not done before - I wanted to figure out how to remedy it with the existing ROM, which is the O2 one installed without all of O2's own stuff.
It was working perfectly well with this ROM before....in fact the only thing I can think of that might somehow have caused this was me pairing the XDA with a bluetooth handsfree set the same day. It might just be coincidence, it might not - I can't tell.
I suppose what I'm hoping for is some guidance re any settings on the device that I don't know about that have caused this, or the necessary registry edit to remedy the problem. Its odd that the phone mic worked before then stopped working, despite hard resets with the same ROM. Forgive my naivety, but I thought ordinary user-level tweaks didn't affect the core settings of the ROM....or am I wrong?
Cheers,
JB
PS - Lower Hutt! I remember seeing it through the mist one day after catching the ferry from the South Island before heading off to Cuba Street for a boozy afternoon...
Yup, got exactly the same problem before buying my HD.
I thinked that my micro was dead and didn't try to fix it before.
Just now i got here to search another rom to test and i saw this thread highlighted
The rom on my universal is TOMAL 8.0 or more i don't exactly remember the version, what's yours ?
I will download another version to check if the micro will be alright and give some feedback

Could be a range of reasons, from some program install or addition to the software set to files going missing. Trying a new ROM or reflashing with the original (but believe me, once you try new WM6.1 You'll probably never go back) might be one of the solutions. Flashing of ROM is a piece of cake, however, I recommend reading as much as possible on the procedure and ways to remedy the unexpected situations before you begin. Everything you may possibly need and answers to all your questions is contained in a Wiki - have a look and ask questions if you cannot find answers and are completely stuck.
Heh, Lower Hutt is on the opposite side of the harbour, coming from SI.
I reflashed with TOMAL 8.9 and micro works very well now
i readed too fast yesterday and didn't see that you're using the original rom, like enigma1nz suggest you, i suggest you too to try a 6.1 rom, it's really great and improve a lot the speed/touch felling/etc for the universal.
Plus it's really easy to flash a rom, it's not necessery to read a lot of documentation,
you just need to connect your universal to pc with activesync (4.5)
and launch the exe file from the rom
Hi everyone,
I have a Imate Jasjam, which has served me well over the last few years. It was running Windows Mobile 5 with the Telstra upgrade that was sent out a while ago. A few days ago, however, I dropped it a short distance, and suddenly the phone function stopped working. Initially I wasn't even able to open up the phone application, but a few soft resets later, that now works. Unfortunately when I start it up, it says "No GSM". There is nothing written in the Device information about Radio version, Protocol Version of IMEI.
I did a hard reset - no joy.
I thought it might be to do with my rom version, so I installed HardSPL, flashed to Black Satin (as I'd always wanted to try that one), but still no luck. The same problems persist.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do, or am I stuck with a PDA instead of a phone?
Thanks so much for your help!
Paul
My apologies for bumping my own message, but I wondered if anyone had any further suggestions. To clarify, I have tried the various wiki answers, but I'm assuming that because this was caused by trauma rather than flashing that it may well be a hardware issue. Is that a fair assessment?
Thanks again,
Paul
I think thats a fair assessment, its possible the radio may have popped out of its connection. Might be an idea to open up the hermes and check.
If flashing a stock ROM and radio doesn't fix it, then sorry to say but it's busted (unless you can fix the hardware part of it). Have an 8525 with the same problem.
Thank you for the responses. I'm game to have a play with the hardware, but wondered if there was a good guide to getting to know the inside of my phone anywhere. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction!
Check mikechennon's guide he provided to deassemble the phones.
I'm sure some of you Hero veterans have heard of this problem. I've searched a few threads but can't seem to find the answer. One thread has tons of folks saying that this happens to them on and off but this is happening to be NON-STOP for 3 days straight. I can't do anything on the phone. I've tried flashing different roms, reflashed radio but still nothing.
Can anyone give me their two cents because I'm totally out of ideas and about to ditch this phone... and I really don't want to.
Hi !
Are you talking about this sort of problem ?
youtube.com/watch?v=UHOGXvzZJ_A
I was having the same. Because my phone is under warranty, I sent it at an HTC Customer Service in France last week.
I received my phone today at home : but I haven't seen if the problem has been solved yet. They wrote a technician saw error logs in my Android system. So they updated my phone (I hope it isn't an hard reset, but I think it is... I always trying it) : that's what they've written in the technical report.
One question : is your phone only on edge network ? (My problem was only on edge network when datas were broadcasting)
On Friday I will use my phone and tell you if there is any change.
PS : sorry for my awful english...

If this is happening for 3 days I would send it back, it's probably a sensorflaw.
And when you're scroll sensor is ****ed it doesn't matter wich rom you use you'll always have problems.
