I have an HTC Touch phone that keeps coming up with this same error...

I have tried a lot of things, and I finally updated the rom, and it still isn't working. It just keeps coming up with the same error, "No Radio."
Is there anything anybody can suggest to help fix my problem? Thank you very much...
I also have a thread on ppcgeeks.com:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=71643
Thank you so much!

Have you flashed a radio? You need to read a FAQ on flashing.

lol.
she doesnt need to read a faq.
her radio disappeared from her phone.
she didnt mod it either.
we tried reflashing the stock rom,
and she said it loaded, but it did the same thing pretty much.
im personally stumped about this one.
anyone have any ideas??

If you haven't flashed any custom roms nor unlocked it, I'd bring it to the store and see what they have to say.

If you read the other thread she linked to,
that describes what we have done to it already,
and more description of where she stands with the phone,
you'd realize her dad gave her the phone.
It's an older phone with no insurance or warranty.
Meaning that would do her no good to take it to the store.
I sent her over here because there's usually more advanced developers over here and I would have thought they'd know what to do.
I just didn't think it was at all possible to have the radio just disappear like it did to her. VERY STRANGE!
Especially with no modding...

I had a quick read through what you have tried so far... Have you unlocked the device with ImCokeMan's unlocker. Then you will be able to try non standard roms and radios, might help.
My only other though is that the radio hardware is stuffed which means you are out of luck.
I would take the phone apart and carefully and clean out any dust etc that has gathered in the device (a very long shot but you never know).
Good luck

hmmmm, never would have thought about that.
and what does it mean stuffed?
is that the term I should use to research that.
This is the first I've ever heard of that...
And no, we didn't try unlocking.
I was thinking that the stock rom would have a better chance at making the radio stick versus a custom radio. but it is worth a try.

Unlock, flash to custom radio, flash to custom ROM.

I found some older threads about this just now,
most of them gave up on trying to fix this.
And one said it was definitely a hardware issue. :/

Sprint Hero rooted, now what?

Sorry if there is a list or thread about this already. I am pretty new to the Android OS and I'm wondering what's the next thing to try with this phone.. I have rooted the phone (tested with screen print utility), now I'm just wondering what else I can do with this rooted beast.

Well, did you flash a recovery image?

I am going to bit the bait...First of all I know nothing about android, what a recovery image is or for, or such.
Anyways, I followed directions, and believe I have flashed a recovery...how can I tell? this is what I followed.

Well, if you didnt receive any errors then just type in reboot recovery in adb shell or shut the phone off and then hold in the home button and the power button. The phone should reboot with the htc logo and then it will load recovery. Once in recovery you can do a nandroid backup which will create a complete image of the phone. This is good in case anything goes wrong with any future changes. You can also partition the sd card to prepare it for apps2sd. And finally when roms are created you can flash the new roms with the recovery image.

Thor, there's a number of threads that talk about rooting now.
There's a step by step guide in this forum, and in the android development section of the hero area on the forums there's another that talks about the "one click" method that's been setup for us (flashrec). If you go to theunlockr.com ( http://theunlockr.com/2009/11/07/how-to-root-your-cdma-htc-hero-sprint-verizon/ ) and follow instructions there, it will also walk you through it.
It can take a moment but taking the time to do a bunch of research and looking around at both the past GSM hero rooting as well as the new CDMA rooting will ultimately answer a lot of questions that might otherwise come up.

I'm assuming wifi tethering does not yet work on the rooted CDMA Hero.

EDIT: I just got around to the rest of my tabs and see that most aren't able to make it work. Like root, it's only a matter of time now though.

i think i rooted lol even tho i dont c anything different :S

is there any new roms or anything else out for this phone what about led colors can they change colors yet?

I think there is an app for changing led colors. As for new roms, I am working on one. I am brand new to rom development so I may be quitting that side of things soon but we will have to see. I am basically just trying to merge the CDMA parts of our hero with Modaco's GSM hero rom. If I can do that then maybe I can port other things. Like I said, we'll see.

yea i just rooted my hero im still trying to get app2sd to work do you happen to know what app it is?

can someone see if the setcpu or overclock widget works?

yea they work as far as i know i downloaded them and it all works so yea

Un-Root my Hero

I need to take my Hero back to factory specs because I'm taking it into a sprint store tomorrow. What all do I need to do... should I just flash my original rom back on there or can I download a rom from htc and it will clear everything? I understand I need to flash a new recovery image too.
Thanks
oh also, I'm running FreshRom.

You can flash the original rom back on there and be fine. They wont EVER press Home+power and boot into recovery.
If you really want to go back to default.. Run this RUU

after you run this can you re-root?. im new to android and i want to be able to restore to factory settings whenever after root just so i can re-root and practice it, as well as know how to fix it if i do something stupid or just brick the darn thing.
like i said im new and not good with forums where can i get a copy of the original rom? i would like to have that before i attempt to root.
also kinda off topic but do i have to be rooted to make nanoid backup. i would also like to have that before i root.

Yes you can re-root after running the .5 RUU
the original rom is contained in the RUU program linked above
You don't have to be rooted to make a nandroid backup, though you do need to flash a custom recovery image. Being rooted means that you basically have administrator access on your phone, can run things like wifi tether and can overwrite the /system/ folder. A recovery image is a little different than that...

ok thanks, i know root is just admin, but a lot of root guides have you flash a recovery image, by doing that you replace the original recovery image? the one that takes you back to factory reset? thats what im not sure about and im really nervous about changing that and messing it up and bricking my device, thought one forum said its almost imposable to brick.
ok so i have that RUU and another one i download. do i just run it or do i need to have a specific program on my pc?
i know i need to Google it and just search the forums but i don't have a lot of time on my hands right now.

If you're planning on going back to root, don't run the .6 RUU. I don't think it's rootable. At least that was the case when it came out. .5 IS rootable.

Menu - settings - about phone - software information - software number.
If it is .6, who cares. You can get root by going to the development section and finding the root guide written by regaw_leinad, and the solution for software number .6 is in there, too. Dunno why people make it out to be such a bad thing to have .6... seriously.

Exactly. .6 isn't rootable yet but you are losing nothing by flashing back to .5 except for the patch they released to fix root exploit. What a waste of time for them.

But thats after you run the RUU.exe I meant how do you know what version of the RUU.exe coincides with what version of the software with out installing or running it. I am still a little confused on what I need to do with the RUU.exe and or what it dose. I have been searching the forums but there is not a Good sticky or wiki about it, its only the definition. I am assuming it re-installs a fresh copy of whatever that version of the OS is, but i don't know for sure.

sorry I am such a noob and thanks for the help but i just want to clarify that .6 stands for 1.6 or donut?
-Thanks for helping the noob!!!

2.27.651.5 is the original Hero update.
2.27.651.6 is the update that was released solely to disable the ability to root.
The RUU for each was released by Sprint/HTC and flashed your phone from 1.5 to 2.whatever.
If you root, then you can run any of these to revert back to the stock Sprint image. If you chose to go to 2.27.651.6 then the only way to re-root would be to flash back to 2.27.651.5 which would only be a pain in the bum.
Since 2.27.651.6 gives you nothing but the inability to root then it only makes sense to revert to .5.
If this makes no sense to you...feel free to give up on rooting altogether. If it does then good luck.
BTW I only figured out how to root on Monday so these forums are most excellent..if you take the time to search through them.

Thanks its starting to make sense, right now I'm software 2.1 update 1 or 2.6 so i just have to go back to 2.5 . once i have more time i will thanks for the explanation! yes this site is the best and yes i need to search more.

Best wipe of all time

In bootloader as fastboot connected to adb. Try that. Also release thirteen didnt work for me off bat.

I know this question may seem combative but it really isn't meant that way, I'm just curious what it means:
What distinguishes a flash happy user from another user who has flashed their phone?
Is there something that certain users are doing as opposed to other users? Is it that they flash from one rom to the other without reverting back to stock?

i personally flash roms constantly, i have tried all the roms we have posted and i wipe between them and never have a problem. not sure why some have problems and some don't, but then again i am NEVER the first to flash something, i always make surei see a few posts that state it works, and i look at known bugs

[Q] Help With my Rooting

I am having a mytouch 4g now running stock rom 2.1. The phone came with S-Off. So if i download the 2.3 update, would it turn my phone back to S-on???
Also does the S-Off mean that if i want to root the phone, i would just need to flash the superuser.zip? or what???:silly:
Or Where will i continue from in case i want to root the phone. Also my device is "M4G2DE".

Those are two pretty good guides. Honestly you have to first read, read and read some more to understand what you have and what can be done with it. Also in development there are answers to your questions under the stickys. Updating your phone would more than likely put it back to full stock status. Also why upgrade to an already 2 yr old software version.
I would recommend fully rooting your phone and the cyanogen method was easier to me. Also remember to google like crazy....

Why do you have two of the same thread?
Listen, here is the deal with the eMMC. Some are faulty, some aren't. If you have a crappy one, flashing CAN speed up the process of the chip giving out. If the chip does goes kaput, though, it always was. The only "bad" chips are the ones that fail. I and many others one here have a glacier with the type of chip people ignorantly refer to as "bad." I have flashed hundreds, perhaps thousands of times and it still works just fine. Understand?
