Try your SIM card in another phone and see if it works, otherwise there's something wrong with the Radio portion (hopefully software only) and therefore would require a hard reset.

It may require more than a Hard-reset in case of Radio portion failure. Take a full backup of your data, re-flash your rom so new radio files are in and try it out.

Unusal Situation with Screen Passcode

Hi all,
I recently took out my sim card to replace it with a new one. However, when i placed the new one in and turned the BA on i recieved no signal, furthermore, when i put the passcode in, it said it was wrong. of course, I have punched in the right code i have always been using.
i have tired hard reseting but it still doesnt work.
Are there any other options avaliable apart from flashing a rom in again?
Any help or suggestion will be appriciated.
Kind regards,
Jason

some help would be appriciated

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
These are both known glitches in the BA with WM6
For the no signal a soft-reset should fix it, for some reason if you remove the battery and then replace, the first boot has no radio initialization, but a soft-reset after that fixes it.
As for the passcode, you have to clean your hive file to regain access to the device. You do not need to format storage, but all your registry settings for installed software will be gone. Most likely a re-install of each app will be needed.

i just went through this..i tried changing my sim card and i was freaked when i saw no radio rom installed..then i upgraded to radio 1.15 and first it worked but again i t showed the same so i went into bootloader an then soft-reset and its working till then ( about 5 softresets till now)

cheers guys, will try that out.

Phone Function Dead?

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.

After flashing Sim not recognised ?

Been playing around and tried a few roms but after Polaris ROM: udK 8.0 Vega R1 it wont recognise the sim card.
Any ideas?

Is the sim realy in place?? check it again... not the roms fault foresure, never heard of this kind of problem

Well thats what i thought, and i can still flash the phone to anything i like so definitly not screwed up the roms.
Just double checked and still says No Sim

Very strange? have u tried another rom? still the same thing?

Yup! tried another rom still the same problem, Originally i had bepes rom but this morning i tried to make a phone call and the ear speaker was dead couldn't hear anything so i tried the external speaker and this worked fine.
I thought be re-flashing or trying a different rom might solve this and now im left with "No Sim" message.
Maybe the phone is faulty?

or sim card fault? can you tried with another sim-card.. just a thought,

I don't have another sim but it does work in my old sony K800i with no problems.
Thanks for the suggestions so far.

So the SIM is ok as it works in another phone.
You have flashed twice so not the ROM . Hate to say it but I would flash back to original ROM and re SPL and get it back for exchange repair

Whhhooooo!!
Left the battery out for a few days and it can now read the sim!
Still got no audio from ear speaker guess its gotta go back

No phone or SMS

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
