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!

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

hermes has two cpus, one is for multimedia,the other is for gsm(radio),if the on gsm problem occurs sometimes, it must be hardware problem,dad sodering,if the problem is always no gsm ,then it software problem, hope it could help you. i think yours is hardware,
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 have the unbranded hd2 with hspl on, never had the sms issue. being a great fan of xda flash my fone at least 3 times a week. Every thing worked fine until i flashed the latest o2 rom 1.72.xx and i was hit with the sms bug... 'UNABLE TO SEND SMS' with a ! in a small triangle in the message. as this was never a issue i thought flashing the 1.43.xxx the original rom will fix it... nope did not work, tried 1.66 and a custom rom too but no luck.
I have been using a voda sim before i had the issue so after the official o2 rom i got the issue. when i tried flashing the above mentioned roms i had the voda sim in my phone and did not fix it.
Here is what i did..
1. Put an o2 ( or any other sim in your case apart from the sim you have the issue with).
2. flashed the 1.43.xx official rom (flash the original rom your device came with if your phone is branded flash the generic rom 1.43.xx or 1.66 so you can proceed with the next step)
3. run the full setup as you normally would. like - setup time, wifi, agree to location.. etc. and importantly setup the automatic connection for the new sim in the device.
4. sent a test message with the o2 sim.
5. shut down device not taking battery out.
6. insert my voda sim ( the orginal sim the one you use daily)
7. power device and go through the full setup again in step 3.
and to my surprise the hd2 was bak in full force.. Hopefully this may help you guys as this has certainly helped me.
cheers.
Hi,
Been using custom ROMS on my Hero since new with no probs. Last Thursday after receiving an SMS I am unable to make or receive phone call and txts. My mobile internet still works fine. When a phone call is made to my phone the caller receives a message that the number is no longer available, though if I switch the phone off the caller gets put through to my voicebox. My provider has confirmed that there are no blocks etc on my phone or account, this is also proved as when I put my SIM in another phone all works as usual.
I am using Villain ROM 12 and the latest radio. I have set the phone to GSM only, automatic etc. I have reinstalled the ROM wiping everything etc and have tried flashing different radios.
The only thing I can think to try now is to flash a stock ROM. Which would be best (its a UK orange phone) and will I then lose root etc.
Most probably though I fear the cellular chip is dead.
Any other ideas and which stock ROM should I try, oh yes I bought the phone of ebay new and unopened, will I be able to return it somewhere for repai HTC ???
Thanks for reading and for any help
Hmmm,... Strange one is this.
First thing I would try if I were you is to flash a generic ROM through your custom recovery,....
One from http://android.modaco.com/content/h...oms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/
Worth a shot,....
If you get the same result,.... Run an RUU .exe. This will unroot so if it is successful you will have to go through the whole rigmarole of installing a custom recovery again to be able to flash custom ROMs.
Dont know what else to suggest sorry.
Oh well, tried stock roms and still the same problem. Looks like it must be the pgones hardware.
Any one recommend a good repairer here in the UK
Cheers
Hi,
I need to know what is with my HTC.
I have the EU version of T-Mobile, Vodafone sim (I was in her shop to change. For new) In another phone runs normally.
So the problem is as follows. I had android 4.0.4 and there ceased to function signal, I put the phone to backup the default Windows Mobile 5.6 with official rom and radio (the latest version). The problem persists. But if I give another card to phone eg. O2, T-Mobile phone works normally. Vodafone card was connected corretly to this time. But not is'nt working.
I tried to choose network manually unfortunately found phone networks - click has been uploaded window "Registration in the network ..." A top searches for signal ... And it makes all the time and after a minute my phone reports that the network is not available. Coverage is here - H, G.
There is no problem in setting mobile network?
Or in ROM, SPL and another?
Thanks for the answer!
does your Vodafone sim work on other phones?
Edit; sorry, you said it did.
Odd that your first one just stopped working.
Which ics rom was it?
which (h)spl was/is installed?
more details please.
