Hello everyone,
I am new to Windows Mobiles. I have bought a used T-Mobile MDA (HTC Wizard), The problem with this is all the keys except Power Button, Align Screen & Camera button hangs after a minute or two the mobile is turned-on. Nothing works. I have to use soft keys to make a call. If I press Camera button the camera interface appears, when I close it, all keys started to work normally but again after one or two minutes it hangs and I would have to again use the same technique to make them work. Sometimes all the keys work normally for more than a minute but again hangs. I have searched in all the system settings & I can't find any option to configure it. I have searched many threads on this site to solve this problem but can't find the appropriate answer. It seems to me someone have burned wrong ROM or did something wrong with its ROM for which it is acting like this. Given are the specs of ROM.
IPL/SPL = 2.26. G3
T-Mobile ROM.
I am using SIM of my operator other than T-Mobile. (SIM Unlocked)
Also If I try to Hard-Reset the phone, When It say me to "Press Send to restore factory default settings or anyother key to quite", All keys hangs and I have to make a soft reset to get into working.
Can anyone tell me what the problem and how can i solve it ?
How do I know whether its CID Unlocked or not ?
Does Upgrading/Reinstalling the ROM will solve the problem ?
Is it hardware problem ?
Thanks in advance.
One more thing
I also have did a hard-reset by following the given procedure.
Start->Settings->System->Clear Storage.
It installed the OS after boot and my installed softwares disappeared. Which means it really hard-reseted itself, But still the problem isn't solved.
I am pretty much sure now its ROM/Hardware problem !!
Any idea about the solution ?
Have you tried to flash a new ROM yet? That may solve the problem, it made my power button work again.

I'm not sure, but that sounds to be seems like hardware problems. I'm not sure if that screen actually has anything to do with the ROM at all, which at best, it is IPL related? I would suggest you to try an offical T-Mobile ROM, which includes everything (i.e. IPL, SPL, and ROM) and see if this problem persists.
Can't find the official T-Mobile ROM.
Thanks for your replies. Can you please tell me from where I can find the Official T-Mobile ROM, I have searched on this site & xda-developers ftp site a lot, Some links are broken and somewhere FTP requires authentication. Also can't find it on Google. I think ruu_prodigy_1081002_104_10910_tmo_usa_ship is the original ROM file but can't find it anywhere except the T-mobile site which require a valid T-mobile no. Can you post some valid like here to download the file.
Thanks again.
If you were to go Wiki, at the ROM table page, bottom line, you would to find this
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/
which should be a global site (if not US site), and if you go into it, 'MDA Vario', there is a ROM EXE to update to AKU. I saw it as UK which probably because I have an UK ip, you try going in and see if you have US version instead.
Also, for the TMobile US, you can consider getting a PAYG card just to get a valid tmobile number to get into the page to download stuff, IF you are sure there are something there (e.g. and if PAYG is cheap)
Ok, I got the UK version. I'll give it a try.

Well, I have tried Official ROM. But the problem is still there. I am also now pretty much sure that its a hardware problem. I guess the mobile needs to go to scrap now.
Hello All,
I recently got an ATT 8525 and I'm trying to use it with my T-Mobile (US) SIM. I was able to successfully unlock the SIM and CID with an util/rom I found on this site (I think the post was from Pof). And I also re-flashed the phone with the latest ROM available.
But after about 5-10mins of usage the signal dies and when I reboot it says No GSM. Looks like the Radio ROM gets corrupted. I tried just re-flashing the Radio ROM and that doesn't help either. It works for short while and again the signal dies.
And also, I'm unable to install any of the generic ROMs (Fantastic Mobiz, PVET 40005) Although I'm connected to Active Sync when I run the Step 1 (ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe), I get a ERROR [222] : DEVICE NOT RESPONDING. And when I run the step 2 directly (update_rom.bat) I get an cannot update itsutils.dll maybe in use error.
As you can tell I've been messing with phone a lot for a couple of days with no luck and my frustration level is kinda high
As of now here’s where I stand. I re-flashed the phone (Image: 3.62, Radio 1.50) and it’s on the “Tap the screen to set up your windows based mobile device” screen. I plan on leaving it on this screen until I can a good solution.
I would like to get rid of the ATT ROM and install one of those hybrid generic ROM that is not Carrier specific. Any help will be much appreciated. Share your ideas, I’m very experimental
Phone Details…
ATT 8525
HERM100
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 1.40.0 lipro
Ive been having some problems off and on with my phone not getting any service. I would restart the phone and it would work for a while. But now I cannot get service anywhere and the phone seems to not work at all.
Has anyone else experienced this or are there any tricks to try and fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as the device seems to be now useless. Thanks
Yep, same with me. I've just upgraded ROM to Faria's last version and still not working the dam phone func
My provider is Vodafone-PT, and i have a Dual Simcard. Even when the other sim is off (unregistered on the vdf network) my hermes simply doesn't register. Not even the emergency number calls are avaiable!!! However, all the other funcs are working fine.
I think it is a softw issue, but i'm still not getting to the point to solve this problem...hope some masters can help us.
regards
plenty of things you can try and troubleshoot with, hard reset, check for bad blocks, flash new radio/ROM.
As XtreMe_G said. I've been running Faias for the last week or two with no radio problems. HR problems, now thats another story. Mke me wanna go back to wm06.
...my problem now is WORST...i've tried to downgrade SPL to unlock CID and SIM, but for somehow the active sync crashed during the rom upgrade. Now i only see the tricolor screen, and active sync doesn't recognize my term!!!
The tri-color screen is bootloader mode and active sync will not recognize your device at this point. Start the ROM upgrade again and go through it. Sometimes the cooked ROMs might flash otherwise always, shipped roms are capable of being flashed from bootloader itslef.

Carty..
Hi everyone i need abit of help.
iv recently got a HTC TYTN from a friend but it has no network, the phone operates well and i can play mp3's and videos(everything works fine). But there is no network when i search for one it gives me all the networks i need but does not register itself on the network according to the sim im using. The only time it gets a network if i turn off and on flight mode then i will search for network, but this hardly works iv had the phone for a month and i only got a network twice, but if turn off the phone and back on again i have to go through the same flight on and off procedure to get a network.
Please help.
either the phone is blocked by the IMEI number or you need to upgrade the radio rom
look on the wiki there are links there for radio roms
If the imei is blocked then you are screwed as nothing will unblock it except the network provider that blocked it originally
thanks man. Will try how do i check my bootloader version and radio bootloader.
i wouldnt worry about the bootloader version click start > settings > system > device info and it will tell you the radio version there. are you sure that the device worked ok on the sim provider you are using. What i mean is ,is the hermes unlocked to any network ,have you tried a sim from another provider?
when swithed it on it does not ask unlock codes or nething. it goes through but no network. im in south africa and we only have 3 service providers MTN,VODACOM and CELL C.
CELL C works only if i turn off and on flight mode, i got it right once. I tried the other sevice providers and nothing works.
radio version is 1.18.00.10
But for this radio rom thing to work dont i need RadioBootloader version 107 or less
so if you put another providers sim in the phone do you get this sign ! where the ariel strength should be? if so it may not be sim unlocked. But that will show even if it has been blocked. Was your friend on a contract and then stopped paying it so he gave you the phone or did you buy it from him
Yip i do get this sign !. im not sure where he got the phone from. i never bought it from him.
if you havent done so already install HARDSPL you can find the link here and the instructions how to do it as well
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HardSPL
thanks buddy gonna try it out.
once you have installed hardspl install this which will cid and sim unlock so you can flash any rom to the device and use any sim
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a.zip
I have a feeling though that your phone is blocked though mate, if it accepts one sim but not the others but worth a try anyway
You can download a new vision of your PPC's radio driver,I tihnk 1.47.30.10 is the best
Changing the Radio ROM isn't advised as this is a sure-fire way to brick your Hermes if something goes wrong with the flash.
If the phone IS blocked then no amount of OS or radio ROM changing is gonna fix.

do what you have already tried but set it for a different network, restart, then change it back to your actual network, also try reseating your SIM card.
Worked for me, hope it works for you too!
what type of apn setting do you recommend
initially change it to anything other than your network
so, if i was on orange, i would change to O2, restart, then change it back to orange and restart
HTC tool should help with your settings or use google
so, google "T-Mobile US APN settings" without quotes if t mobile US was your network
i tried what you suggested no luck in the u.s. the sttings are suppose to be epc.tmobileus.com but still does not work
long shot but try giving your SIM card a clean and stick it back in, another longshot is try installing WITHOUT an SD card, just curious if that is another one of the issues that can happen with a incompatible card, yeah i know the rest is working fine but try it and see, you never know!
other than that im running out of ideas...
did you download the htc data connection app from marketplace, or can you, to automatically configure your hd2 for tmous?
why were you manually trying to configure your hd2 for t-mobile network?
best bet is to re-flash since it worked before.
the 3g service stopped working when activated the phone .... market works but i can only log in through wifi and i did download htc connection set up and ran the app it said that the apn was set . but when i tried to run internet explorer its says no data service.

use epc.tmobile.com... That's the one I used worked fine. Now I just use connection setup to setup my mms messages also.
Also stupid question is the 3g switch on in settings.
I've got the same Problem....
I'd the same Problem on Nand Android so i decided to switch to win7. But same Problem here. If i have 3g enabled i got no Service at all. If i disable 3g i got Service and Data Connection begins to work.
See this Thread in Android section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971920
So any hints how to get 3g working?

start again,
flash a stock original ROM for your device, put it all the way back to WM6
you will need to SD card flash this ROM
then go through all the steps, HSPL, Radio, magldr then try WP7
when things dont add up its often best to start from scratch.
I've done exactly that when i migrate from android to WP7. The only thing remains on the Phone was HSPL. And after all (installing MAGLDR and so on) the Problem persists.

if hspl was still on then you didnt stock original ROM flash via SDcard
you need to download an official ROM from whoever sold the phone
doing that will remove hspl, reinstall the spl, radio and the ROM
make sure its an old ROM with a 1.4x SPL, then install hspl again, 2.08
Ok I've done what you tell me.
I have a Device from Vodaphone Germany and i can't find any Rom with 1.4x. The oldest i found was 1.72.
I extracted the Rom and copy the LEOIMG to the sdcard. Power on Phone with Vol down and flashed the ROM with sdcard. Reboot the Phone and all cames up fine.
Power down Phone and wen't into SPL Mode, installed HSPL, updated Radio to 2.15.50.14 and installed MAGLDR 1.13.
After this i flashed my WP7 Rom and let it boot. Choose all my seetings in the wizzard. Enter my LiveID credentials and tapp on login. And after a few seconds i get the Message the Phone could not Connect!
But it seems this is another issue cause i got a big "H" and full Service.
Thank you very much!

am i right in thinking that was different to the previous problem, where it would only connect with 3G disabled?
if thats the case that happened to me as well, i had to do the HTC connection wizard trick, change it to something else, restart, change it back again, restart
everytime i flash i have to do that which isnt too much of a pain
