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

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...

Screen color problem when restoring backup after ROM upgrade

My problem started yesterday after restoring the backup i had made with Sprite Backup 6.5.4 built 8 before the ROM upgrade. When the ROM upgrade was finished everything looked OK but after the backup restoration was finished the device was restarted and everything appeard in 8 color or something like that, the only way it got fixed was when i made a call and the screen went off after the call when i turned it on again everything was looking ok, but every time i restart the device everything looks 8 color again and gets fixed when i make the call. I also noticed that if the screen doesn't go off when i make the call it doesn't get fixed.
*The ROM upgrade was downloaded from the official site of HTC Europe http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
*The backup was made with migration option on and restored with migration Level 1 option when prompted "Use Level 1 if you are restoring to the same device but different ROM versions" it said.
So i don't think the problem is with the ROM but when i restored the backup file some driver file or system file was overwritten and messed up the graphic settings.
If someone has the same problem and have fixed it please reply, this bug really breaks my nerves.
In the files attached you can see how a picture should look and how it looks on my Blackstone screen.

this is most definitely a flash rom problem
it has been discused under rom threads, but i can't remember now which one
i suggest to read the dummies guide and reflash your rom respecting all instructions
good luck!

Be very careful when using backup software. When restoring information from a backup, you are restoring old registry settings when may be incompatible with new rom. I only use backup tools like this for contacts/emails etc. Not for anything else. Best backup tool for restoring apps, games registry tweaks, settings etc is SASHIMI
Basically you have upgraded your device to a newer rom which is most likely based on a different build, manila version or from wm6.1 to wm6.5..........and when you perform a restore you are replacing the new registries with older non-compatible registries which is most likely causing your issue.
If you perform a hard reset all colour issues will have gone.

SitRep: the screen gets back to normal colors if i turn it off and on, not just when i make a call, so my mistake.

I have the same problem. I flashed the official ROM update and restored files using SunnySoft Backup Manager. I find that I can restore the colours to their normal state by quickly switching off and back on at the first password screen.
It's a bit of a pain but does not seem to be otherwise detrimental. It's better than having to re-install my software from scratch.

big problems

I have the phone for almost an year without having any problems at all.
Approximately 1 month ago i installed a theme (from this forum) and it worked perfectly untill i decided to change it with another one (also taken from the this forum).After the restart the main screen froze and the touch flo was not active.I could only scroll the menu and acces it.
Also, i could't change the wallpaper.
After this, i tried a hard reset and apparently everything came back to normal EXCEPT: the internet connection didn't work at all no matter the settings i've made and from time to time a "dont send" error popped up. The error was : AudioManager_eng.exe.
After this, i updated my rom (from the htc official website) and had another hard reset and still NOTHING.
In fact i noticed other errors as well.When i tried to acces the mussic tab - audioManager_eng.exe error appeared, when i open wm another wm error appeared.
PS: i also had the storage card formated hopping to solve the audiomanager_eng.exe error (no result)
What should i do now? I feel like i tried everything ...
PS2: i am sorry for the possible mistakes
english is not my mother tongue. Also please try explainig a sollution in simple terms so i can understand step by step what i am supposed to do
thanks

please help....

Have you tried a hard reset to restore everything to default? Or removing theme which started all problems? When you flashed a new rom you may have added more problems, especially if you didn't follow this guide. Depending on what rom you flashed your SPL may not match causing incompatibilities. Does the screen look distorted when you start/boot up phone? Does this discolourization go away when you press power on/off? If so you have a mismatching SPL. Read and follow the dummies guide to see if this fixes some of your issues.

I didnt flash the rom.I had an upgrade .This one: http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
And YES, i also had not one hard reset but 4 or so.Can that harm the phone?

Stuck in phonecall

Hello,
I was using multiple ROMs with RADIOs 2.05 and 2.08 and everywhere was this problem - when I calling to someone and press End Call (HW or SW button), phone doesn't end calling, only button get grayed, but it is still ringing.
Please, do you know what could help? Thank you.

i get that issue sometimes as well.. i found it worked ok after i made sure the in car bluetooth was automatically allowed to connect to anything it needs.. followed by a soft reset.. should only be the once though

Ok this is interesting. I had never had this problem but now I have flashed to Flashmores latest and the ROM is great and fast (and yes I did hard reset after flashing) but now I have this problem.
When I'm in a call none of the touch keys work. Cant access the keypad or anything. Really annoying.
I have to use the hard key to kill the call.
Any thoughts?
Oh and I dont have a bluetooth headset!
GG

It's independent on Bluetooth and same problem is with hardware- and software- keys (buttons).

I have the same problem...Which ROM versions do you have? mine problems started after flashing ROMs from TMOUS...so versions 1.7 to 2.10...I will revert back to older ROMs...

I think this problem was also in stock ROM about 1.42..

Hi guys,
For those problems, I advice you to do these steps in order whenever you want to flash a ROM (stock,shipped,cooked ROM). If you want the stable ROM for daily usage... just flash the shipped ROM
-Choose Clear Storage in you current ROM.
-Take out your SD card and Format it by (FAT32)
-Connect your Device to PC and do a MTTY... You can read this for more details (do it in careful way)
-Then Flash the Shipped ROM 1.66 I suggest the 1.66.405.2 WWE.
-Do not hard reset after flash... I mean let your device through the "Customization" first then just skip all setting and Reset the device. While the device is getting reboot... Do a hard reset
-Setting up all things.
Hope this help

it doesn`t work I think this problem is according to radio ROM. I will flash another...

i had this problem yesterday and have fixed it
ceratin roms are only compatible with certain radios
for example yesterday i installed SONE 2.5 and i couldnt make calls, it would freeze
i looked at the ROM requirements and i was using a radio not supported by the ROM
simply change the radio respectively to the ROM

This problem, which I'm describing, is something other. RADIO patch is okay (I think), but phone is "slow" during phonecall and phonecall cannot be hanged out..
