ROM/Radio upgrade problems.

I've attempted upping the Radio ROM on my O2 XDA Exec to 1.06.00 following the instructions here. Everything went wrong at first - I got the USB v1.00 screen, but I followed the instructions and the Radio update went OK.
Unfortunatly, after soft resetting and going into the control panel, clicking the Phone applet just hangs my Exec. The phone works, but I can't change the settings through either the control panel or from the phone > menu > options.
So I hard reset and let O2 do its thing, choosing corporate when presented. Still does it. Of doesn't rather. So I tried downgrading the Radio back down to 1.04.02 but the same thing occurs. Then I grab the latest 50Mb+ ROM update from O2. Tried it just now after 30 minutes - still, the phone applet won't work.
Any tips?

++ Edit ++
Fixed. I left it switched off for 20 minutes and once I switched it on, there it was, albeit with all fields blank. Tried a few things and managed to get it working smoothly again.
Odd...
++ Edit #2 ++
It does it when there is an SD card inserted. Ooo...

BTW, the 1.08 ROM update is already posted

Problems remain.
I can't get into the 2nd tab under the Notifications settings. It hangs as before. :?

Try upgrade to 1.08
Maybe this will work

The radio seems fine, but I've now discovered that Windows Media Player won't work.
Should I try reflashing everything again with the updated ROM from O2's site?

maybe re-do everything. Flash using a shipping ROM then upgrade radio from there

I'm beginning to think that maybe the memory isn't completly wiped and remnants are interfering with the operation of the new software.

I heard sometimes it is possible

problem with wm6

i installed wm6 the other day on my spvc500 and everything went well.
the phone started, but when i gave it a restart, it just wouldnt connect to my network...
it stays in NO service state and does nothing...
i really dont know what to do...please, help me...
i'm freakin for not knowing what to do....

WM6 problem & SPVC 500
HI,
I had the same problem and I know explanations.
Problem is in software which you installed after flashing WM6 to your SPV.
When you installing software everything is working on 100% ,but after restaring mobile
phone starting very long time ,doesn't have signal and time on main screen.
You have only one option ,re-flash WM6 again ![/COLOR]
Uninstall software hasn't influence!!!
be carefully with installation new software, I don't know where is problem exactly >
Here is list of software which is working without problems on my phone:
Extreme agenda 3.02
Smart explorer 2.1.4.553
SP Task Manager 2.1.1.315
Slovo ED
Adobe reader
Don't install :
profile switcher
cele task
If you are using different software you have only one way how to find "good" and "wrong" software.
After reflashing WM6 install only one program and restart the phone if everything will be working program is OK.
But if no you have to reflash WM6 again !!!
Be careful, all your data will be lost.

I got the same problem, after installing some software i got no network anymore.
Also the menue did not respond anymore on pressing 'Start'-button
I had to flash my Amadeus again, because also a hard-reset didn't help.
Now i think i have installed all the software again and it works still well
edit: 10 minutes after i rebooted my amadeus and BANG, nothing works anymore.
Crap.
I think the problem is 'facade', a tool to show a schedule on the homescreen.

it all works now
well, i managed to solve my problem...
the thing was to flash this WM6 and now everything works jut fine...
i can finally say that i am pleased with my c500!

Before I try this Version of WM6: Do you use Facade?
I flashed my Amadeus with WM5, installed Facade, rebooted and nothing worked. After that I flashed WM 6, did not install Facade and everything is ok

I got the same problem, but after hard reset everything was ok, so reflashing WM6 was not necessary.

My Camera will not work anymore??

everything was fine, no problems with the phone at all, than I installed Duttys 4.1 rom and ever since the camera doesnt work. I got the camera to work once since then by un-ticking the camera tab from the Touch flow, soft resetting, then ticking the tab again but now thats not even working. I have installed 2 diferent roms since then and it still doesnt work. also the photo album doesnt work from that tab anymore but does in the program list where as the camera doesnt work at all.
Any help would be great

Have the same problem myself and have yet to find an answer

I found a guy that used advanced config to change one of the camera settings but I tried it and it didnt work

When you flashed the ROM, did you put the phone into boot loader manually, or did the installation software do it?

the installation software did it

I tried that myself and it worked for a while (a couple days) then the camera stopped working again. That trick has not worked since that first time. I have changed roms a couple of times and still nothing.

Same here. Also I did accidentally install a rom with the wrong spl and had to hard spl after installing the rom. I think I went from 1.14 to 1.56 or something like that. I had a green tint to the screen until I did the hard spl. I have installed many roms since then and have not had a problem. I did not have a camera issue before this but the camera did work for quite a while after the spl issue. Hopefully this makes sense what I am saying.

so you are saying your camera was fixed after you "re- hard SPL'd" your phone?

No, I have an unlocked telstra phone and I had flashed my rom a couple times without needing to hard SPL my phone and never had a problem with flashing roms or the camera. It was only after I flashed to a rom that needed the phone to be Hard SPL'd and I didn't properly Hard SPL my phone before flashing the rom. I got the wierd "green tint" to my screen and realized that i had incorrectly Hard SPL'd. I quickly realized my mistake and then did it correctly and then the newer rom worked fine. It was a couple weeks later that the camera stopped working. I can't remember if I was on the same rom or not from when I Hard SpL'd my phone.
Sorry if this is hard to follow.
My thought is, did my upgrade without properly Hard SPL'ing my phone damage the camera or is it something else. Again, I have since properly Hard SPL'd my phone and flashed many roms since without a problem except the non-working camera.

well I don't know but I hard SPL'd my phone the day I got it with the 1.56 HSPL and I have used may roms on this phone. The rom I installed when this happended was duttys WM6.1 rom

I was trying to revert to an older Hard SPL 1.14 and install an older rom to see if that did the trick. Anyway, in my haste I screwed up and installed the older Hard SPL 1.14 and forgot to add in the older Rom so I ended up with the green screen of death. I couldn't get it to connect via activesync and put it in bootloader mode and re-Hard SPL'd it to 1.56 and the green screen was gone. I was about to go back to the Hard SPL 1.14 with one of Duty's older pre 1.56 Roms but thought I would check on the camera again one last time.
Now the camera works. Again, this is not the first time I have gotten the camera to work and I have no idea how long it is going to last but it is working and I am not going to mess with it anymore right now. I will leave the Hard SPL 1.56 and Miri's WM6.5 Rom that I have on the phone alone and see how it goes.
I know this is not a complete answer and I don't know if just re-Hard SPL'ng will work but it is worth a shot. Again, I downgraded first 1.14, screwed up the phone the went back to 1.56 and the camera started working again. At least I know that it is probably not a hardware issue as I have no where to send it back to for repair. All is well in Wisconsin for the time being.

Well two things:
1st can you just tell me exactly what you did, step by step. If I understand you correctly, I have already tried this but there may be a step or 2 that I missed. please include the roms you went from and two also
2nd, just called HTC and they said my the #'s my phone still has some warranty left and they will honor it in the states (I will reflash to tesla rom and the stock SPL before I send it)
Thank you for keeping me up to date on what you have done to get yours working. If your camera fails again, just call the # on the US HTC customer service site.

hello there ,
1.14 radio is the problem ,
try to flash new one which is 1.16 in same form
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529031
or try to get into 6.1 and then Hard Rest with out Upgrade to dutty ,
seems problem in driver...
best regards

I havent had 1.14 on my phone since the day after I got it...

I am not very good at step by step instructions but you have obviously done a lot of flashing already, I will keep it short. Again, this started out as a botched attempt to downgrade my Rom to an older WM 6.1 Rom using the old 1.14 Hard SPL. You might not want to do this as it will temporarily screw up your phone. If you do, here are the steps I took. Really not too involved. Please read all steps first.
1. I synced my phone and downloaded the older 1.14 Hard SPL and flashed it.
link
2. That screwed up my phone "Aweful Greenscreen effect" and was not able use activesync anymore for flashing. I then put the phone into bootloader mode by powering off the phone. Hold in top power button until it asks if you want to power down. Yes. Then when you power up hold the volume down key and the power button at the same time. Make sure your USB cable it still plugged in. Your phone should now be in bootloader mode.
3. I downloaded the most current Hard SPL 1.56 and ran the HSPL Wrapper Blackstone 156OliNex
4. After that the Green Screen problem was gone and when I checked my camera it worked. I took a couple of photos and no problem. I opened it first with the WM Camera Program button then with the Manilla tab. When I used the Manilla tab it had to map the camera/videocamera button as we as find the photo album. After that it has showed up in Manilla normally every time I go back to it. Again, we will see how long this takes.
Thanks for the info on possibly being able to return the device for warranty reasons to HTC.
Hopefully this helps and my links work.

if you don't mind me asking, what dutty rom did you install because this all started for me when I insalled duttys 4.1 WM6.1 rom

Update
When I said I took the phone all the way back to stock, it wasnt 100% true. I loaded a stock HTC rom not a telstra rom.
with that being said, today I got the RMA # from HTC to have the phone repaired so I downloaded the newest updated Telstra Rom and loaded it onto the phone.By the way, My phone did not have the newest Telstra rom on it ever! When the phone was done, I started to prepair to load the newest stock SPL to go along with the rom when I notice the camera works..... What the hell?!?! I try loading a custom rom on it (miris 6.5 rom), camera still works! Hard reset the phone, camera still works. I don't know what this means but my phone is back on line with all features!
Thanks for everyones help and input

Keep your eye on it. It is almost like it slowly looses the connection to the camera and then has a hard time remaking the connection once it is lost. Then you have to do something drastic to get it back. I wouldn't mind so much if it only happened every three or four months but so far I have not been able to keep the camera going past two weeks without loosing it again. Keep me posted if yours goes out again.

Well that didn't take long. Camera is dead again. Going back to WM 6.1 and SPL 1.14 to see if that makes a difference. "unable to initialize" then camera and album disappears from TF3D.

What I ended up doing ( and I did it more then once cuz I tried to load a wm6.5 rom on it) was as fallows
starting with many different wm 6.5 roms, radio: 1.13.25.24 and HSPL 1.56
step 1: I flashed the newest telstra rom (Telstra_WWE_1.59.841.6_Radio_52.64.25.34_1.14.25.24)+
step 2: hard reset
step 3: flashed this custom 6.1 rom (gave up on trying to find a 6.5 rom that worked), L26 ultimate V3.55
step 4: hard reset
step 5: synced to my PC
step 6: loaded all my cabs (soft resetting after every 2 or 3)
Now Miris 6.5 V26 came close to working but when I would sync via PC or Microsoft My Phone it the camera bug would come back.
I am at about 18 hours without the bug. I have soft reset, changed the battery, synced the phone to my PC, called, received calls and text so far...

Google Sync "Wrong password" since rom update

Today i updated to Miris newest Test rom but 20 minutes later i flashed back to EnergyRom "leo". I tried to configure my Direct Push with GMail but it doesn´t work anymore. It always says: "Your password is incorrect. Please update your password to continue synchronizing." Error Code:0x85010002.
I did 2 Hard Resets, flashed to my stock rom and tried it. Can´t get it to work.
Now after 4 Flashs im back on EnergyRom and i am at the and of my knowledge. Or the Google Service is Down or something is going wrong with my HD. Anybody an explenation?
Edit: i even changed my password 2 times and doesn´t work. But can easily go into my Gmail account.
Edit2: Found out in the Google Help Forum that iam not the only one with this password issue on WM6. So maybe it isn´t because of the Rom update... It is just crazy because it worked all the last days without any problem and today with the Rom Change it stopped working. Frustrating...

Same with Exchange
Any resolution to this? I have the same problem since flashing to Miri.
With the stock ROM it has been working with Exchange OWA for more than a year, but after flashing it impossible to get to work again.
I have tried Miri, Energy, Balaij and all sorts of ROMs but the result is the same: 0x85010002
With my PC it working like normal, and OWA is working as normal. But on my Blackstone it just went dead. I have even flashed back to the stock ROM from HTC but it is still not working? I am at the end of ideas...

[H] Text Message Sending issue - Touch HD

Hi guys, ive been using htc touch hd since a year now and never faced this issue. Suddenly from last week im unable to send text message or reply. ive search all over and tried every trick mentioned here but no avail. im using the shipped rom no modifications. everything was working just fiine. the weird thing is that my message are sent if i make a call to any one...all those msgs sitting in outbox are sent then. my SMSC is correct. Please help me.
P.S. Ive also tried using other cell phones like nokia, diamond 2 etc and text messages seem to work fine with them...

Please anyone help me...

hello!
sorry mate i dont think there's much you can do, other than a hard reset. sounds annoying i know, but many us who flash new roms are used to doing it every week!
One thing you could do before this is just to download the latest network settings.
On WM6.5 (should be similar on 6.1) go to:
Start >> Settings >> Connection Setup
Chose your operator and download the settings, then soft reset.
Otherwise, looks like a HR
(to perform a hard reset, power off your device. then hold down both vol up and vol down, and press the power button. brings up a screen of instructions that tells you to press vol up to reset).
I would strongly recommend you look at a custom ROM - you can get so much extra functionality over stock, even if you stick to a 6.1 (fastest) ROM

I had this problem a while ago, i just cleared all of my texts inbox/sent/drafts/deleted then hard reset and its been fine since. FeX

Thanks guys for ur support...ive already done hard resets twice but the prb still there...im afraid to use a cooked rom bcoz it sounds too complicated for me and then ive heard it gets bricked if i do sumthing wrong...
just one question can i hard reset my cell back to shipped rom if i dont like a cooked rom...?? i guess this wud be my last option now to switch to cooked roms but there are so many i cant decide which one will be better for me.
Thanks

Bump...........

its not difficult to flash a custom ROM - you just have to be read the instructions carefully, and take your time.
the instructions are in the wiki here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
you can flash back to the stock ROM whenever you want to.
you could always see if there is an official update for your ROM first, and just try installing the latest stock if your device does not already have it.
