After months of trouble free use my camera dies today. When I try to launch the camera I get the following message "Unable to start Camera" "Unable to initialize camera". I saw an earlier post where the fix was to power down and remove the battery for a few minutes. Unfortunately this did not work for me. I waited approximately 15 minutes before installing the battery and powering up again.
Has anyone elese seen this problem before? And where removing the battery has not helped. I have not tried a Hard Reset. I had a similar problem with my Hermes/838 Pro that was fixed with a hard reset. As you can tell I am trying to avoid the hard reset... I am traveling and do not want to take the time to cutomize my phone, at least not yet.
I am running the original shipped ROM 1.23.707.6
Meanining I have not flashed any ROMs to this phone. It is as shipped from Dopod.
hi i have the same problem since months ... something you have explored? do u have some informations to fix this problem?
Extract this package, and copy all files to the windows directory via Resco Explorer(alle files(.DLL) muts be visible, look at the options of this app) and overwrite the existing files, then softreset, Im not sure if this will work for you, so be sure and make a backup first!

It really seems a software problem, probably some rom files or registries got corrupted. A reinstall may help, if not, you may still need the ultimate hard reset
I wound uptaking my 810 back to the Dopod service center. The guy said they had to replace my camera. What that means and if that can actually be done I am not sure. I would guess they replaced an entire board. They did re-flash the ROM on my phone as well. Prioir to taking the phone in for service I had not tried to re-flash the rom. I had only done a hard reset with no success.
One side light of my camera going down is... They put the same ROM back on my phone that was previously installed. After the service I have noticed that my GPS gets a "cold" fix much faster than before (twice as fast +/-)
Interesting, I had this exact same error, but on my previous phone, a Samsung D900.
They tried everything, including completely wiping the phone, but nothing helped so in the end they replaced the camera in the phone.
i had this on a tornado

...turned out to be hardware, too.
mainboard error on mine
htc service replaced the camera module twice before they replaced mainboard and cured my phone. I had this problem the first 6 months with my p3600.
Try taking a softreset with the camera on. this worked for me a couple of times

Simply take out battery for at least 15 minutes.

this my number phone 09192561895 in IRAN
I dropped my phone from a low distance and now on the bootup screen it shows a message saying no GSM. The ROM version is 1.34.502.1 but on the radio version tab there is no number or anything. On protocol version there is also no number or letters. Also there is nothing for the IMEI. I cannot open up the program (phone) or text anyone. I have tried a hard reset and some soft resets but those did not work. My sound quit working too.......
Also if this helps, i have WM5
OS 5.1.195(build 14955.2.3.0)
Wifi - works
Bluetooth - works
All other Programs (besides phone) - works
All i want to know is if i can fix GSM and if i can then sound and my broken LCD are very small problems.
Thanks

Before assuming something very major, let's be sure all the routine things have been tried:
1
Hard reset - you've tried that, but it's worth trying again, but first try number 2 below
2
Remove the battery from the phone for 30 minutes or so and reboot after doing number 3 below:
3
Remove the SIM card, clean the contacts. Insert and re-insert it several times. This cleans the contats on both the card and the phone.
As you say the sound is likely just a loose connector and the LCD, just a case of getting the correct make (there are at least 3 non interchangeable brands)

I'm afraid your phone still did receive hardware damage Looks like the radio chip soldering is the least reliable (on certain models?) and can be easily broken, thus so many people have the dreaded "No GSM" problem and are unable to flash a new radio.
I think it's just your SIM-Card, which has loosen due to the drop.
I dropped my Phone so many times, i stopped counting. It now looks horrible scarred but it works like the first day i bought it.

In that case, the phone would just display a "No SIM card" notification. But since ZZsk8erZZ's Hermes displays "No GSM" at boot time, I'm afraid the problem is more serious than that. At any rate, it wouldn't do any harm if ZZsk8erZZ checks how securely is his SIM card inserted into the slot.
I added a few pieces of paper to the sim to push it against contacts but that didnt work. Ill try to reflash radio and if not then... i will have to go with my razr. How i wish i could use my 8525. Thanks anyways.
You can do a few things to get it back. First you have to open the case - a task that should take a few minutes with the right tools - the instructions are posted here and everywhere. Once open - RESEAT EVERY CONNECTOR and put it back together. If it doesn't work (ie still NO GSM) the motherboard is damaged and no amount of flashing will bring it back. These things are VERY sensitive and although they were made for road warriors they weren't built for them. The boards are multilayered and the connectors aren't (except for the dpad) screwed down. The flexiribbon cable is also a very weak design and cracks over time when you slide the keyboard in and out.
If the board is damaged you can do a few things - if the case and screen/keyboards are in great shape - buy a totally cosmetically trashed unit and put in the motherboard into your phone - otherwise strip it for parts and sell them on ebay - there is a market for dpads if working, flex cables and other small bits including the rear antenna plug - even small case bits will fetch some cash. Add it up and go shopping for a decent 8525. Supplies seem to be dwindling and prices are still pretty high though for unblemished fully working units. Just ask the sellers ALOT of questions before jumping in. They may say the unit freezes sometimes or there are a few working defects in these I'd walk away.
I got stuck with a TYTN HERMES 200 where the seller said everything was fine but it would freeze sometimes. Got the phone - was pristine but had the NO GSM error sometimes then fully died in a matter of days. Fortunately snapped it up for only 45. Bought a working HERMES 100 AT&T for 40 locally which worked perfectly except the seller messed up the LCD.
NoGsm Herm200
Hi!
I do have also a broken Herm200. I have droped it from the table, and since then I have NoGsm error when booting. I have tried several rom flashing but every time it stops on 12% flashing. Even when I did it with microSD was the same.
IPL - OK
SPLASH 1 - OK
SPASH 2 - OK
EXTROM - OK
GSM - when gets here the flashing stops.
OS -
Before that I had tryed several hard resets, soft resets, different key combination, and many, many ways...but still NoGsm is present.
I am now seeking for a motherboard.
If you know anyone...
Thank you
pleas!!
hello
The message “NO GSM” started suddenly appearing on start-up and of course the phone is not functional afterwards.
[[Category:HTC_Hermes]]
Hello
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I have a problem in Device
I hope I help me solve it
I own a HTC Hermes, when start-up letter (no GSM) and then complete the boot
But rading SIM card
After the time is not responding
Perhaps needs a file (radio) or (rom) I do not know
I raise the files on the Web
(4Shared) or (Media Fire)
Thank you very much
i have a mda vario 2 ( hermes) i've been installed a rom called hermes_wwe_3.62 Malina2d now phone boots up fine but the touch screen dose not work at all ! can anyone help ? .
To get pass the alignment screen i had to create a file on storage card " welcome.not" and that got me pass alignment screen.
now i am a newbie so please all the help would be appreciated i did have a look for file called touch.dll to replace it but could find one. ( as i read somewhere that might be the problem.
my ipl -1.04 & spl-2.10.01ipro
i really don't know what to do i have tried to re flash the rom no luck there.
all the hardware buttons work fine.
Not sure about that one. Why not post the question in the thread from where you got the rom? That name doesn't ring a bell.
If not try flashing the stock shipped rom, or the at&t stripped to see if the issue goes away. If it does go away, then don't use that rom.
cant really remember where i got the rom from as i the phone is my little sisters. do you have a link for the rom you suggested
My sig has the stripped rom, and the shipped at&t roms. You can also find some programs and my roms there too.
And to be safe make sure that hardspl is installed.
If that doesn't fix it, there might be a hardware issue.
cheers for your help. i am going to download one of your roms and pray that might resolve the issue . what the latest hardspl ? i thought 2.10 was the latest ? how do i tell what is the on i have installed on the phone ? Hardspl and spl are they the same thing ?
If you flash one of mine, flash the at&t rom first, that will straighten out any issues with the memory.
if you have 2.10olipro, your all set! spl (or hardspl) is the bootloader.
no luck still having issue with the touch screen wont wont work.
the touch screen used to work fine before. all this it just became very laggy so i decided to upgrade the rom , i went to thru a few roms.
any other idea ?
i must say i do love your rom everything is set out all nice and neatly shame the touch isn't working.
Thanks for the compliment on the rom!
Sounds like it has some kind of hardware issue. If your inclined to take it apart carefully (I haven't taken mine apart yet), you might be able to check all of the connections, and for dirt or anything that might be the issue.
I believe there are disassemble instructions on the wiki.
Maybe someone with more experience in taking the phone apart can chime in.
touchscreen issue
i m having the stupid touchscreen issue i have tried everything ( including disassembly and removing gasket but it still does not calibrate
starting to hate that phone
Sounds like Digitizer could be dead.... Need to replace the LCD and Digitizer if thats the case.
The trouble with this is there are a few different things that could be causing this and just replacing the LCD might not fix it.
Sounds like it could be though. If you are having trouble, DON'T do a hard reset until you have installed an app called "remote screen alignment", freeware off the net. It copies the alignment info to the PC so you can do a quick alignment using the PC instead of the buggered screen. Otherwise you'll be going in circles for ever without being able to get into the today screen.
Cheers...
actually i have hard reset the device
the trick is to put a file called welcome.not on memory card to skip first time alignment
i'll change screen and see if it fixes itself later
i ll use the phone as it is till then
new lcd
i changed the lcd it worked flawlessly for 3 weeks then bang! the bottom half of the lcd stop to work
i think that the ribbon on the lcd got damaged when i installed it on the hermes the fact that it needs to be turned 360 degrees during assembly cause the problem any thoughts from you guys????
Hi experts,
I recently installed the LEO "Stock" NAND Android ROM from DFT to my HTC HD2. I have the famous G-Sensor Problem. My phone is working perfectly when it is upside down (no black screen on making/ending a phone call and proximity sensor working). I tried calibrating upside down, but no success.
Further investigating, I found bm150.usr solution but:
- Installed "File Expert"
- I made a backup of existing bm150.usr
- I copied the new bm150usr overwriting the old one.
- Restarted. No success.
Further reading, found that I need to delete .txt files under data/misc, however I can't see anything under data/misc.
I have SuperUser installed, how can I use it?
What is rooting?
What is mounting?
I have been trying almost 3 hours, please help!
Thanks...
Ok I downloaded and installed prj_build_v0.3.2. The G-Sensor is calibrating properly. I can see the data/misc folder, so I applied bm150.usr. However during a call, whenever I turn the phone facing UP the screen goes black and turn the phone downwards (facing the ground) the screen gets back! This is really driving me crazy... Is it a hardware fault?
I've been searching for this problem about a month now, flashing at least 10 ROMs, radios etc, with no success. I found this video googling which describes exactly my problem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCloMmboCl8
Another example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49-LdNvM4Pw
I like my phone running Android. Fits my expectations, visual style, performance, sync with Outlook etc. But, it's really hard to use the phone like this when I call a bank or similar, struggling to dial the next extension. My choices are either go outside to sunlight or dial upside down people staring me like a cow...
Right now, I am using Typhoon CM7 ROM from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
which is a very nice ROM especially with the sound enhancement. Congratulations on the developer! But, my problem still continues...
Please can somebody help me. I'm really frustrated with this problem.
(I wish I could post this message to the right thread. But I'm rookie without 10 messages )
I just unbricked my HD2 from the white screen with no logo. I spent the whole day reading hunderts of post about the white screen- bricked HD2 - the solution was to change the mainboard (at least the official service did that) and the people mostly sold the phone as bricked, its maybe also an production problem with HD2 because it's caracteristic and usual for it.
I think the Radio ROM is the problem and that it's a hardware error caused by overheating(i will report if the problems occurs again but i think it works now).
How it began(STORY):
I went on a trip and used google maps and route66 with GPS/WIFI all the time. My OS was Android Nand ICS and it wasn't too hot. The first problems started with random white screen occurrences trought the day as i was using google maps so i took out the battery and restarted, it worket but soon after the white screen occurred again. The white screen occurrences became more often and at the end there was only the white screen. (people reported the the phone somtimes worked when they recharded the battery and left it alone for a few days, after that they flashed the new rom )
I used the ICS rom for a few months with no problems(same reported from other users).
One theory(i read it on the forum) that the ICS is constantly overheating the HD2 + route66 mabe it bricked because of it.
So there is no other way, it has to be an hardware problem but the good news is it can some kind of be fixed (because i think it caused an radio mailfunction) !
SOLUTION:
So this is the way how i solved it:
- I downloaded an old version of the stock HD2 WM rom(i found somewhere that it can fix the problem) so with radio.
- I extracted the .exe file with WinRAR(or 7z, winzp...) and renamed the RUU_Signed.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh
- I copied LEOIMG.nbh to my SD Card (they said it should max 4GB, and has to be FAT32)
- I entred the HSPL with Volume down + Power and it found the rom on the SD card i pressed Power to install it and it FAILED !!!!
- I was depresed again :|
- I keept reading and may owners had the same problem, someone suggested that the update worked for him after he left the phone in a bag in the fridge. I had no fridge in the hostel (and no SD card writer only the ROM on my SD card) so i tried it again AND IT WORKED !!!
After that i got a HTC screen that didn't boot. I flashed HSPL3 (also from the second try, flashing from HD2 tools(HSPL2) didn't work) and installed official WM from the HTC HD2 support and i think i will use it from now on (or WM7) .
After i did it once it didnt work(flashing from SD card) so i used this method:
- Entered the SPL/HSPL
- Flashed HSPL4 sometimes it does not work but you have to keep trying
- Task29
- Updated a stock WM6.5 from the PC !! (from the SD card didnt work(
- works
PS: If you see only the white screen when you turn it on you need to wait few days to get to the HTC seceen so a hardware error. Maybe try to put the battery and simcard out of the phone or put it in a plastic bag in a fridge ... maybe it will accelerate the process
So my theory:
- The overheading caused a hardware error that damaged the Radio ROM and the software(but how?).
- It's a producttion problem(may owners with the same problem)
- It mostly occurrs to android users - and mostly ICS
- As an engineer i have no idea why it works now but i like it
Ok i got a white screen with Windows Mobile 6.5 after few days (with android/W7 imidiently).
The problem occured when i was cooking almost 40 celsius.
Maybe the solution can be to put some cooling paste on the radio or similar thing

Hi, can u say which old WM version u used ? I dont have bricked hd2 but instead of this my lcd doesnt show anything in first stages of boot, i mean i cant see tricolor screen (but can get into this with buttons), cant see magldr or clk, cant see cwm or anything until android (hyperdroid) boots up. Then it works perfect. Of course even if I cant see anything it works fine in background, even more, i can go into cwm and by pressing buttons do everything but... cant see the menus (luckily got help on xda and i know menu structure). Anyway, I spoke to guy in mobile service point, who said that some time ago he had the same situation, his hd2 got exactly the same weird problem and he solved it my installing some old WM roms. Unfortunately it was long time ago and he didnt remembered versions. But he said it happened to him after playing with some 3rd party camera software and for him it was like lcd locked itself in specific resolution. I'm more than happy to try your solution if u can provide WM version u used, as i already tried few and... nothing. Thx
I used the newest version of WM 6.5 3.14 / 2.15.50.14 it worked for days(i have not used the phone but it was on without simcard). Afther few days i inserted the SIM card inside the phone and then after few minutes maybe half an hour the white screen appeard again
Now i will try the 1.66.405.2 version with 2.06.51.7 radio hope it works with the sim card or i will have a bad MP3 player
Problem still open
The phone works for days when i leave it in my room and don't use it (need to test it with a sim card).
But when i take it out in my pocket it just turns of and can't be turned on. I take the battery out and put it in and the famouse white screen appears and i can't flash it anymore (i can eneter the bootloader - voldown+power) but when i try to update the rom it hangs and restarts.
Had the same problem few times and the white screen disapears after a while(few days), the HTC logo appears and i can flash the phone again.
I have a feeling the phone is "more alive" when i use WM 6.5 old version (on android and WP7 the white screen appears after few minutes but i am not sure).
Next time(when the white screen goes away) i will try to flash WM6.5 and leave it with the simcard for a few days. If it does't go into white screen then it's a contact problem on the hardware (and it's triggered when i walk)
i tried to put it into the fridge but it did not work
i tried latest wm rom but it doesnt work, i can hear sound when its loaded but nothing on screen, pressing power off it just keeps black and then lights up display .... thats it. Weird but with android on board i works fine after boot sequence, just have to press power off 4times. Tried to load WM from SD card but for some reason I cant do it properly (heard thats only way to get rid of HSPL and have clean install), phone just hangs, maybe some error but my display is not showing anything at this point Starting installer from PC gives loads up WM rom succesfully, but as I mentioned before, screen just lights up, music is playing and ..... nothing. Maybe You can try this way ?
If not, you could try following :
using mtty do some task 2a and task29 then reinstall
or
try find someone who could plug JTAG into it and wipe everything
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XroEPU4qyuM
Mine is proably hardware, but why its fine on android and not with WM ?
It's definitely a hardware problem. When the whitescreen appears it can't be removed with flashing. i leave the phone for a few days off and than again the mobile phone boots without problems !
The phone works for days when i leave and don't touch it, but as soon as i put it in my pocket and wear it with me for about half an hour the screen gets white againt and the phone does't boot anymore(for days or more).
so definitely it's a circuit or component problem, I will try to fix it with hot air(to refresh the definitely or to break the pohone but i'ts my last solution)
Would a motherboard change help ?

Please help me, I have the same problem with my hd2 (white screen). I can not install anything on it. Tell me please, you solved the problem? Remove the battery when you leave a few days?
It just unfreezes at random. I found out that when installing windows mobile 6.5 and when it's winter that it works longer :|
For now it works when i install android it freezes after a day or two (in winter and almost imedietly in sommer)

I haven't read your previous posts, but from your last post it seems that your motherboard is failing. A common issue with the HD2.
