Have I Screwed Up This Time? Tell me it ain't sooo

Ever since I flashed my rom with the 4.00.10 I have not been able to get my old image back on it nor flash a different rom image. Have I totally messed this thing up? This is the error that I get...
error getting connectiontype
Even though it connects with active sync just fine, it says it can't get connection type. How can I overcome this? I booted up to the bootloader diagnosis and tested the USB connection and it passed. I am a novice and should not have been messing with this and now I want my original rom back!
Please help me. What can I do to fix this problem on my XDA?
Desperate.

I Just Had to Walk Away and Come Back
Whew! I read some more and discovered the very small step that I had missed all weekend. Everything works now except my GPRS connection. I will read some more to fix that! Thank goodness for this forum!!

Progressive phone problems

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.

No service as in no signal or no service as in phone/dialler cannot ring anyone similar to flight mode? When phone starts up do you get a greenish distortion which is fixed by simply pressing power on/off button?

Moved out of dev

i also had this prob after flasing to duttys, no service and the strange scrambled colours that can be fixed by pressing the on and off switch, havnt tryed re flashing again yet though

take a look at your phone settings. open your dialer, go to menu/options now select the band tab. make sure it is set to you providers band or set it to auto.

Me too after flashing Dutty's latest.
Hard reset doesn't help.
"Connection settings" app doesn't appear to run after flashing...
Not a signal issue.
Can't start phone...
Any ideas please?

If you are experiencing the scrambled colours it means you have not followed correct procedure to flash Duttys rom. Duttys rom is based on 1.56 or 1.57 depending on which version i.e. V3.4 etc so you'll need to put USPL or HSPL onto your device first and then flash a HTC 1.56 based rom
All this and proper procedure can be found in cRaCKwHoRe's guide to flashing 1.56+ based roms. Can be found in my signature

I sent my device on repair, also after constant flashing of ROMS (doesnt mean duttys fault) but the device constantly droped calls on 3G or GMS.. I called them today, they reflashed original ROM and tested the phone few days, no phone drops anymore..
They will test it few more days, hopefully my prob. will be fixed.

G1 with NO SERVICE (old radio)

I bought a G1 from someone off of ebay and he said it doesnt recieve signal. I figured I could buy and maybe fix it. The radio is not updated but they wiped the phone before I got it, so now im stuck at the google account sign in with no service. Does anyone have any ideas or do I just need to call up HTC and send the phone in for repairs?
thanks and God bless

try to go through the process of rooting the phone... That may fix some of the issues

but how can I root the phone if i cant get pass the Google account screen? Ive done the bootloader already...nothing happened....i flashed to crb43...that worked but it still didnt solve anything....ive tried to update the radio to the newest but it says "no signature (5 files)"...verification failed. Is there anything that I can do?

what do you mean can't get passed the account screen?
like you try to sign in and you can't?

If you still can't sign in, try using a different ROM like TheDude's and try bypassing the sign in. Maybe you can get it to the main screen and try running some debugging tools and such.

yea cause i dont have any service cause the phone doesnt get any signal....like thats how i bought it..something is wrong with the radio (i guess)...like i just want to use a different ROM that you can skip the account process on so i can ROOT then try to upgrade the radio to see if it will work....but dont you have to have ROOT in order to flash stuff?

well if you are trying to create an account from your phone with no signal, just to sign up on a computer.
the screen does give you an option to skip the sign in process.
what build are you on?
go HERE to get help on bypassing the activation.

Only for ADP1
op: Look in the dev forum helpful threads sticky for a link to activating w/o google account. Also, as a previous poster said, you might want to just do the whole rooting process. Downgrading to RC29 will revert both the radio and android build.

The official OTA CRB43 includes the new radio. If that's what you flashed and it didn't help, flashing the radio isn't going to cure your issue.

Haykuro's IonR2 also gives you the option to skip sign in.

hmmm so i guess i just need to call up htc CC and make up some bogus story saying that cupcake fried my radio....cause i cant even get signal...
i actually had 2 bars last night... so i was able to sign inn and use wifi...but it just randomly cut off....and i wiped my phone....without thinking
so i guess ill give htc a call

Lost signal now at RC29 w/old radio
But I cannot figure out how to proceed. I have been rooting modding for a year now and suddenly lost my signal while the phone was just sitting on my desk. loaded recovery still didn't work, went back to RC29 stupidly and now cannot get newer ADP build loaded because I cannot login past account screen and my Adb isn't working because my phone is not recognized via USB. Is there a secret to that pre-account login? Thanks for any help I have a $400 paperwight right now.

You should be able to enable wifi and login to google. I just went through this process since I don't have any service on the sim i'm using in the g1
--fg

what was the selllers name o ebay. i did the same exact thing and when i got it i updated everything and nothing worked.. i sent it in to htc cause it was under warranty. i told them the truth and its been repaired just waiting on fed ex to deliver it. they replaced the main board and antenna wire

similar problem
sorted: the issue was sim card being faulty.
i recently got an old UK G1 from my brother.
It keeps saying 'no service'. I have downgraded it to RC7 for purpose of rooting but it still says 'no service'.
I was able to bypass initial registration process using adb.
The phone is connecting well to wifi. It is also able to search 'available networks' but does not connect with tmobile.
I have asked for another sim card (it will take a few days to arrive) thinking that the problem is related to sim card but could i be wrong?
Is this problem related to hardware?
Is it possible that wifi, bluetooth and searching network works well and still the hardware is faulty?
what are your thoughts?

Please Help. I can ONLY get the Euro rom working I want a USA one

I bought a T-mobile Tab
I was successful at:
Gaining Root Access
Flashing Clockwork Recovery
Now, every time I try to flash a rom with heimdall, it pushes all the updates to the tab, and it will get stuck on reboot.
I did a full factory reset (from samsung's recovery because apparently Clockwork got deleted), and it appears that the Euro rom is on the tab now because there is a phone app functioning, and it is stuck on only Edge data.
I have tried flashing almost all the GSM roms I could find on xda and I cannot get one of them to work sucessfully without locking up at the boot screen.
I do not care about the freakin phone capability I just want my 3G back. Can someone direct me to a simple... non-euro rom where I will be able to get my 3G working again becuase I am tired of ending up at the same darn place over and over again.

Have you tried Roto modem switcher? I don't use Tmobile but I thought that will allow you to switch between EDGE & 3G? Check out Dev forum.

yess!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much. I was having so much trouble for so reason, and just kept getting more and more frustrated.
My 3G works on this Euro rom now. I am still looking for one that doesn't have the phone since I cant really use it anyways, but at least my tab has its functionality back again.

i too wanna know if theres any roms without the phone functionaly that has ext4. I have tmobile and i cant use the phone functionality on it.
