Having some trouble with AKU3.2, device reboots on RUU.exe

Hi guys
I'm using an orange switzerland branded m5000, and I use buzz's unlocker yesterday to remove the SIM Lock on it. Appears top have worked fine, as I can use my wifes SIM card in it now(different provider).
However, I'm now trying to flash AKU 3.2 (Ivan's version) to my device. I let it connect to my PC with activesync, then start the RUU.exe. The screen that shows me the current versions, and what I'm upgrading to appears, and I click next. Then the small window with "gathering information from device" appears, and stays there. After about 30 seconds, my m5000 spontaneously reboots. Consequently, after another minute or two, I get a 101 connection error from the RUU.exe.
What am I doing wrong here?
Besides: My device currently (post-unlocking) claims to be running Radio V. 0.00.00, and the AKU3.2 upgarde screen claims it will only upgrade the CE Version, is this right? Am I now forever stuck of Radio V 0?

It worked now, please ignore
Ok, it worked. I dl'ed and flashed the 3.2 JasJar Rom first, and then Ivans beta14 worked. It's really quite a noticeable speed up. Thanks to everyone who spent their precious time developing these things.
Now all I have to do is get my providers MMS and GPRS and 3G settings back to normal.

Wizard freezing at startup screen

The problem appeared today morning, while listening music using tcmp. the sound stopped suddenly, and standard animated cursor appeared over tcmp screen. i closed tcmp, and the rest of the system seemed fine, i was able to mute the phone and entered my work place. After a while i noticed the screen is off and i can not turn it on using pwr button, although green led kept blinking so the phone was operating. after a soft reset it would not go over splash screen showing IPL, SPL (which are: IPL: 1.06, SPL 1.06, GSM: 01.12.10, OS 1.6.2.4).
I've tried multiple times and still the same, only difference is that sometimes I can see the cursor and sometimes not. I can get to rgb screen and "press send to restore" as well, but that's it. I can't remember whether previously pressing a key illuminated a screen and keys, but now it doesn't. I used to have problems with screen not going black on idle since few days, but that's it. What could have happened? And if the only solution is hard reset, please tell me, could I somehow backup my contacts now? I don't have activesync here so I have to wait till I finish my work to find out..
please help anyone...
rom version : 1.6.2.4 WWE,
date : 11/15/05
radio : 01.12.10
protocol : 4.0.13.23
extrom : 1.6.2.105

That's spooky. My MDA has the same versions of IPL, SPL, GSM and OS, and this morning started misbehaving.
What's this rgb screen you can get to with the "press send to restore" option?
How do I do a hard reset (I have a backup on SD) without being able to get to the Start>Settings>System>Clear storage control panel option?

Rgb screen is a bootloader which i enter by holding cam+voicedial+commmanager butons while softreseting wizard. the other screen i mentioned i enter holding cam and voice buttons, and then pres reset. that screen says 'pres send to restore factory defaults any other key to quit' and it does hard reset if you press green button here...
my problem seems to be over for now, i managed to turn the phone on while i plugged it into a wall charger (believe me, the battery was not a problem - i don't know for how long it's ok now, but at least i made contacts backup now so that i'm ok with a hard reste if i have to...

You both have old roms and could do with upgrading them to aku2 roms. (your device will be more stable) i.e. the first number of the rom will be 2. Please dont ask me to go through how to flash a rom because there are hundreds of posts on the same topic and read the wiki - shortcut top left of the screen. You need to identify whether your device is g3 or g4 but i suspect you both have g3 chips.
Now read & read esp the wizard upgrading forum and wiki and then when you feel confident - flash your device.

mu chipset is g3 based on my ipl/spl info... i wouldn't dare to ask anyone to explain the process of flashing, i'm not that crazy. only thing i'd dare, would be to advice me what rom should i use... or a way to determine this, since i know it can't be just any rom...

Looking at your rom numbers i gather you have a t-mobile vario - is it uk or usa rom or polish - i see you live in poland.
there latest uk rom is here ftp://[email protected]/Wi...Prodigy_2210206_109_21911_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe

Its prob best you sim unlock and cid unlock before you flash in case you change to a non-tmobile rom inc one of the cooked roms.
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474
and read dr puttingham's tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and now i have given you more than enough hints
p.s. by the way remember to write down your gprs settings and mms settings to use with your new rom.

thats right, its tmobile vario, uk one. it is sim unlocked, i'm not sure about cid but it should not be a problem. thanks for the hints, it really seems more then enough;] i'll probably have to use theese, as soon i have a spare evening...
you don't have to explain me the importance of gprs settings - forcing my wiz to work in uk's o2, then in polish plusgsm, then loosing settings and doing it again finally got me into a habbit of backing every settings up ;]
and last but not least, guys, yesterday i did my first HR ;] ...

Imei & other stuff missing :| What can I do??

Nice thing happened to my hermes200: before christmas I upgraded it to the shap's rom, following the instructions... Everything was great until 2 weeks ago: without doing anything special the phone was not working anymore and the rest of the device was working very slowly. I tried several times a hard-reset but nothing changed. After this I tried to flash the rom with the original htc wm6 but it's impossible: at 12% everything freezes and the wizard says that there's a connection error ..From that moment I tried other several rom from different sites, some are faster and some slower, but every single one has the same problem: the phone doesen't work (It also shows "no GSM" every boot). Other interesting thing is that if it goes in standby, it's impossible to turn it on again and I have to soft-reset it.
But the best and amazing thing I found yesterday is this: if I go on the "device Information" of my device, with ANY rom there's NO RADIO VERSION, NO PROTOCOL VERSION and NO IMEI!!...
I tried to look on the net if someone had the same problem but, up to now, i didn't find any.
Thanks for everything, mediomat.

I too have the same problem with the device information settings. The version tab is displays no version, the Call Duration tab displays incoming and outgoing as unknown, the Identity tab only displays the proper Platform while Model No and IMEI are blank, and Hardware tab displays garbled text. Though, on the Hardware tab, it shows the RAM and Flash size as xxxxxxx MB.
I haven't had any luck either finding a solution to this.

Solution:
1. Check your SPL and flash HardSPL if you don't have it
2. Flash your shipped ROM
3. Repeat step #1
4. Flash back some Hermes cooked ROM
5. Done. Check Device info, if you don't believe me
Best regards,

If the radio rom has been corrupted this STILL may not work... Its a brick... Sorry...
Still, no harm in trying....

"No GSM" error with 8525

I've tried just about everything and it keeps messing up. Here's what happened:
I got this phone in April from a local craigslist ad. The battery he gave me was old and only lasted half a day, so I ordered one off Ebay (big mistake!). I put it in and it has worked fine for the last 8 months. But one day last week, I went 2 days without charging the phone. Apparently the battery was in the phone the whole time while it drained to 0% (never had let it do that before). When I tried to turn the screen on, it wouldn't. I plugged it in, saw that it had 0 battery left, and left it there to charge.
Ever since then, whenever I've tried to make a call it would either:
-Freeze
-"Dialing..." forever
-Make the call but when I want to end, the sound goes off but the counter keeps going. I can't make anymore calls until I restart the phone
But if I restart the phone, 90% of the time it will show "No GSM" on startup and the phone will not connect to AT&T.
Also, in device information, the radio version does not show up.
Before anything started messing up, I was running Schap's v4.31 WM6 and I think radio version 1.3-something
I have tried:
-official WM5 ROM from AT&T (installed but No GSM error)
-official WM6 ROM from AT&T (always gets stuck at 11% and doesn't install)
-Schap's v4.31 installs fine every time but I get No GSM error
-Radio 1.47.00.10 installs and will work for 1 or 2 calls but then freezes and the No GSM error comes back when I restart
-Radio 1.48.00.00 installs and will work for 1 or 2 calls but then freezes and the No GSM error comes back when I restart
-Radio 1.54.07.00 is stuck at 0% and stays there for hours
-Radio 1.54.30.10 tells me I have the wrong device ID
I'm posting here as a last resort after spending a week on this forum reading on how to fix this phone.
Any ideas or is it toast?

I think about the only thing to try would be to reflash the shipped radio rom. You may need to find out what that 1.3-something actually was and reflash. May fix the problem.
No guarantees though s this is the radio rom and its a mongrel of a thing, causes the most bricks.
Good luck...

Was having similar problems with the radio. No GSM at boot up and could not access phone once booted. No matter what radio I try it gets stuck flashing at 0%. I took the sim out and rebooted the phone. It booted much faster and now the device id tells me this:
Operator Version: PDAviet.net
ROM Version : DVH_V27_BS
ROM Date : 10/30/08
Radio Version : 1.54.07.00
Protocol Version : 32.86.u.7020.23h
ExtROM version : Black(Basic).
Before with the sim installed I got nothing under radio version and protocol version. I can open the phone now but it says The sim card is missing.....Emergency Calls Only. I have been reading for days and days through the XDA guides and Wiki stuff and nothing seems to work. After a try flashing a radio and it gets stuck, I have to use mtty.exe and use set 16 0 to reboot OS. Every now and then the phone will not respond with mtty.exe and I use a sd card with a Splash1, Splash2 and OS only to revive the phone. What should I do next?

My HD too restarts on its own: no solution ?

I have read some threads about it. Some people had the power button stuck (in that case the screen 'do you want to proceed yes - no' would appear)...some other people had problems while listening to the radio.
I have never listened to the radio...
Some days ago the problem started, the phone always reboots on its own while lying on the table or in the pocket...no applications in background, no wifi on, no bluetooth on...just the original rom (german one), the original radio version, no software running : it reboots (different from shutting down, it turns on again on its own, like a soft reset).
The problem didn't begin with the installation of some application...I have not installed applications for ages, but the problem began only in the last 2-3 days.
ROM-Version : 1.56.407.2 (43972) GER
ROM-Date : 04.03.2009
Radio: 1.12.25.16DE
Protocol: 52.60.25.33U
The battery is clean, the SIM card is clean.

Try flashing another stock rom on there. It could save you weeks of heartache
