Hi,
I have an Orange M3100 which has been flashed to WM6.5 and works fine, other than on boot up it intermittently gives NO GSM errors - despite this, the phone works fine, it is almost like the radio doesn't initialise quick enough. Anyway, I decided to unlock this phone and the unlocker v3a software bricked it, so I reflashed and all was well (but still locked). I have since tried flashing a variety of radio roms using my pc in an attempt to get rid of this error, using SD card method but all of them hang/fail when it comes to updating the GSM rom. I'm currently running the 1.47 radio rom.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do? I have tried to revert back to the original Orange rom to no avail (can't flash GSM), have tried the trick with mtty and erasing certain areas of rom to no avail, is it screwed? I just can't understand why the phone works fine, yet I can't reprogram the radio rom!
Cheers

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.

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.

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.
Now I know this is a novas question at best and its probable been covered already but I don’t know how to fix this. First I was experiencing what I believe to be radio issues, like I had a fully functional sim card in my Hermes but I was not receiving and service anywhere, only had this problem with the Hermes other phones where fine. I tried to do the wm6 rom update but I kept getting an error I think it was 262, so then I downloaded spl 2.10 in an effort to just update the radio, and as I went one to install radio rom 1.40 I kept e getting another error and now my Hermes has been stuck in the boot loader for 2 days, can someone please tell me how to get out of the boot loader and how to get my radio working again.
I know other people are struggling with Wifi. It does not even turn on.
I have tried several roms and different radios but wifi just will not turn on.
It used to when I was using the original SPL but since I upgraded to SPL 1.54 so I could use the newer 1.56 roms, wifi has not worked.
I have also tried HardSPL from Olinex but same thing.
Does anybody know if it is just the older Touch HDs are affected or is it just a random few?
More importantly, doe anybody know a fix for this?
Thank you.

Moved out of dev!
First you need to find out if you have an issue with your device.
Re install stock SPL, then your stock rom.
Then check your wifi.
I have not read of people having issues with wifi and can not work out why SPL would effect that.
OK. Here is my story. I bought HTC Touch HD from ebay (Orange one). Used USPL to upgrade ROM. Didn't do anything (it was SIM locked, I was using turbosim). It worked perfectly. Can't understand why that happened, but wi-fi stopped working 2 days ago. Simptoms, when you try to turn wi-fi on, it's just going round and nothing. The only unusual thing I did was, I put SIM card from another provider for a couple of minutes.
Steps to solve this problem:
1. Unlocked SIM, CID, Security with olipro's tool . Thanks to Olipro. Now it is SIM, CID, Security unlocked. Wi-fi did't work.
2. Installed HardSpl 1.56Olinex and WM 6.5. Everything was working like it should be (GPS, Bluetooth, GSM, GPRS, Edge and etc). Wi-Fi didn't work.
3. Restored original SPL 1.14 and Orange ROM. Everything is working. Wi-fi doesn't work.
Opened HTC Touch HD service manual. Read from the begging to the end. The below are some extractions from that book:
---------------------------------------------------------
13．Wireless connection (WLAN/BT) not functioning
(1) Make sure the wireless environment is OK before connecting to WLAN.
(2) Make sure the wireless connection setting has properly set.
(3) Make a life connection with Internet or another device.
(4) Try to re-flash the ROM code. ----->
(5) Try with another main board if necessary
(6) Once the defective part has been identified, verify the defective part again whether the symptom could be
duplicated with another unit.
-------------------------------------------------------------
L1. 6. Memory card for ROM code re-flash ( must be encoded by HTC) HTC design
--------------------------------------------------------------
So, "try to reflash the ROM code" is the interesting one. But were to get that memory card for Rom code reflash.
Wi-fi is a real pain for owners of the HTC devices, just search the web. But it looks like, something has just stuck in my device, and I just need some special program or tool to change the status of my wireless card from from "off" to "on", so Windows Mobile could see it. Can anybody help us.
I had a problem when going to 1.56...and had the wrong SPL. Used CrackWhore's guide, and got 1.56 working. Then later found out that Wifi wasn't working and kept defaulting to airplane mode. I went back to CrackWhore's guided and followed it again, and this time the Wifi is fine and after two days it seems everything is working. You might try that as the SPL may be wrong.
I'm having a 'strange' issue where the phone part of my HD2 doesn't seem to work. This is an HD2 that was locked to T-Mobile, but is now unlocked. I have used it with my O2 sim for around a day and a half just fine until some time this morning it lost the phone connection, and doesn't show the operator for this reason. Obviously I can't make or receive any calls or send or receive any texts. The 'Phone' is turned 'On' in the Comm Manager settings, and I've tried to turn it on and off, hard reset, reflash ROMs, and so on.
I have flashed HardSPL and was using EnergyROM, but have now flashed back to the latest official HTC ROM (1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE) which has radio 2.06.51.07 and protcol 15.30.50.07U. I also tried HTC ROM 1.43 (radio 2.04). Before flashing the official ROMs, I had not flashed any radios so it was left as the original that came with the phone.
The 'strange' part is that mobile web/internet works fine. When reflashing to stock ROMs (or any ROM for that matter) it finds the SIM just fine and recognises it as O2, and comes up asking which settings I want to use (it finds a couple of valid possibilities, O2 UK, Tescoe Mobile and one other), so it must find some sort of network.
Has anyone had any issues like this? Is there anything I can do, or is this a case for contacting HTC?
The SIM works just fine in my old Touch Pro.
Thanks for any help!
