please help upgrade hw6925

Hi XDA Gurus
I have an hw6925. It was unlocked by entering a code.
On the page for selecting my network I see a single button "Find Network". It gives no control to select a network by hand or to set a preferred network. I basically have only the top button of the three you can see in the attachment below.
In theory I should have those options... I have a hw6940 with those options and even the ATT/Cingular website for this model shows that I should have those options. (see http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/main.jsp?t=solutionTab&ps=solutionPanels&solutionId=54869).
The phone is also unable to detect that it is roaming. (The roaming triangle symbol never appears when I am roaming, and the activesync roaming schedule is never used.)
It is not clear to me why I am missing these options but I believe it may be because the firmware is not the last version. The Asset Viewer shows that the ROM is 1.30CIN.03ENG (bootloader G.39) and the Radio firmware is 1.02.00. My hw6940 shows firmware 1.48NA.00ENG (Bootloader G.39) and Radio firmware 1.08.00.
I really need to have these options so I am trying to understand how to upgrade my phone. There is no newer firmware for this model offered on neither the HP nor the ATT/Cingular sites. The HP site has the upgrade for both the main and radio firmware, but will not allow me to flash those to my hw6925.
I'm pretty technical but I dont have much experience with these HTC devices.
So, my questions:
1. Does anybody know a simple reason why I dont have the network functions in my hw6925? Is it because of the radio firmware? or the general firmware? or something else?
2. Assuming it is the firmware, any idea how I can upgrade it? Do you think it is possible to use something like HPRUU.EXE to read the radio firmware from my hw6540 and then load it onto the hw6925? Or am I likely to brick it that way? (Can I backup my hw6925 firmware, try it, and if it fails then reload the hw6925 firmware?)
3. Any other ideas how to convert it to a generic hw6945?
Your help is really appreciated!
Thanks
Ron

if anybody else finds this and needs to solve this problem too, I have found a solution.
indeed the issue is not with the ROMs.
there is some feature used by cingular to disable these features, and it is controlled somehow by the SIM card. you can see discussion of this in these two threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284201
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=266794
The solution is to edit the registry under HKLM\Security\Phone\, and set these values:
L: 0
ManualDisable: 1
PreferredDisable: 1
All three should be set to 0. (In my case I did not have a PreferredDisable at all, I added the DWORD entry just to be sure).
In the threads listed some people complained that these values were reset to 1 during reboot. In my case (with no cingular SIM, since my unit is unlocked) I did not have this problem.
Hope this will save somebody else a few hours of searching...

flashing new radio, now lost 2g/3g data?!

I had cm7.0.3 running ok with radio:
October 2010: Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M - HTC WWE 1.32.405.6
I followed the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597
to flash recommended radio:
4th January 2011: Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF - HTC WWE 1.72.405.3 R2
I'm not sure if it was because I didn't wipe but everything since was very jerky and the device was unresponsive, therefore I reverted to an older ROM I had backed up. Now I have found that I no longer have a 2g/3g data connection, the phone just states "unknown" within my quicker app settings.
Does anyone know why I've had this problem, or better still any ideas how I can resolve?

Punch in *#*#4636#*#* into your keypad and head into Phone Information.
What info is displayed? You may need to type it all out.

Cool, thanks for this info.
Right I have followed your instructions and before I write everything out I have notice that at the bottom of the first menu (which is: Phone info) the "set preferred network type was set to "WCDMA preferred", am I right in saying I should change to "GSM only" or "GSM auto (PRL)?

Mine is set to WCDMA preferred and I get 2G/3G/H. Try it, you have nowt to lose at this point.

Ok, changing that doesn't seem to have worked. I lost regular phone signal.
Phone info for you:
IMEI: xxxx
phone number: unknown
current network: orange
signal strength: -99dBm 7 asu

neighbouring CID: no neighbouring cells
roaming: not roaming

Number of PPP reset since boot: 0
Set preferred network type:

Does this help you at all? Thanks, appreciating your support.

It does a bit. GPRS service reads "Discontinued". If you had disabled data on your phone it would read "Disconnected".
What I would do is try the same SIM card in another phone. If you cannot try that you can check your APN settings.
Settings > WiFi & networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > check you have the correct settings.

I can't try the SIM card part until tomorrow.
Prior to leaving work today I did check my phones APN settings against a work mates (since he has an unrooted DHD) and they appeared correct. Both phones has two Orange UK (-orangeinternet) and Orange UK MMS (orangemms).
I removed the SIM and battery and then re-assembled.
I have been changing things and then checking, now it states the following (with regards to the list I provided you earlier):
Phone Number now appears
GPRS service now states disconnected
and the GSM disconnects still states:
=========DATA==========
State: DcInactiveState
disconnected with last try
at 12:59 AM
fail because No Error
PPP sent: 0 pkts, 0 bytes
PPP received: 0 pkts, 0 bytes
this is all with "WCDMA preferred"
I have also re-flashed with the radio that was previously in the phone (26.03.02.26), but still no data connection...

The only sure fire way to find out if its your setup is to run the 1.32 RUU and flash back to stock. If you get data then its your system / radio / RIL setup.
If you flash back to 1.32 you can be fully rooted / S-OFF / etc again in about 1 hour.

Ok, thanks for that.
Just to provide a little more detail:
I had to downgrade before rooting to CM7-RC4, then I moved to CM7-final, CM7.0.2 and then CM7.0.3 before I decided to upgrade my radio from 26.03.02.26 to 26.04.02.17.
This is when I hit my data problem.
Since then reverted to an older ROM backup and I have re-flashed different radio's to see if it would come back to life.
I have now applied the CM7.1 update (since I guessed I have nothing to lose).
Tomorrow I will try and make time to drop to 1.32 RUU.
Am I right in saying the RIL is the tie-in between the software and the radio? It sounds like this might be my problem now?
I'll need to research the procedures to do what you suggest since I'm still pretty new to all this...
Thanks again, I'll let you know how I get on.

Yes you are correct the RIL sits between the Radio and software.
An incorrect RIL could be the cause. Have you tried flashing the recommended RIL?

Ok, thanks.
I have some time now to play with this, would you happen to know if it matters which order I do this in?
radio, RIL, then ROM?

Sorry for that, I found the answer to my own post, RIL last!

I have now re-flashed radio:
Radio_12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3
and then applied RIL (using ROM Manager):
HTC-RIL_2.2.0099HM
Still had no joy.
Ran the 1.32.exe application to return to stock (it informed me that it was changing 2.36.405.8 to 1.32.405.6) and my data has returned! My voicemail icon has returned too!
Would be ace to have these with CM7!
Any suggestions on the quickest and more reliable way to get to CM7?
1. flash newer radio
2. test vm & data connection
3. flash cm7

Just to let you know that after flashing radio vm and data still worked and then going onto cm7.0.3 my data still works - fixed! Although, I have lost my voicemail Still happy though, thanks for your suggestions.

[Q] After factory reset HOME BUTTON doesnt work ..!

Hi..!
I download a file named "Root_Unroot_Sony_1.5.rar" from this forum 3 weeks ago for my XPERIA ARC LT15i to root it without flashing...and it worked perfectly..
but I decided to do a factory reset, you know there are lots of junks and trashes on the phone...then I did a unroot process with the same program again..and it worked again..but after FACTORY RESET i noticed the HOME BUTTON doesnt work..? but why?
and im pissed off so much now...
The firmware on the phone is 2.3.4 so it is 4.0.2.A.0.42 original generic rom..
What can I do now ? fast answers will be appreciated..!

1. The menu and home buttons' keypresses are detected but the respective actions aren't executed.
2. The lockscreen doesn't get activated.
3. The power menu has only reboot and power off as options. The rest of the options like Airplane Mode and Profiles.
This is your issues? If yes, try This

Thanks for the reply...
now another weird problem i have which is when i try to flash my LT15i with 4.0.2.A.0.42 original generic rom via Flashtool-0.5.3.0 i get this message ;

Fixing 0 IMEI

Hello. I've been getting a lot of emails on how to do that and i thought i should make a thread here.
Now you got to have the original box in which there is the imei written. I don't take any credit for this guide as i didn't write it but i found it somewhere here but it doesn't exist anymore. I'm not responsible for any damage may happen to your phone. I did it several times after flashing official 2.3.5.
It has worked fine with my IDEOS X5 U8800.

This procedure did not work for me. I found it a couple of weeks ago in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591997) and gave it a try (numerous times) without success. I was able to complete all steps up until actually writing the new IMEI. I attempted to write it a couple of dozen times without any success. It appears to work but the lMEI never actually changes.
I also found another procedure using a program called NVedit but it would give me an error stating the NV location was set to read only (I forget the actually wording). It seems that my phone has the location that contains my IMEI locked in some way that nothing can change it. So I gave up on that phone and am using a different one that I bought on eBay, brand new at a dirt cheap price ($27.00).

are you rooted? i remember having these issues when i flashed 2.3 after 4.2 rom. u first need ti flash 2.2 then 2.3 and that should work

Yes, I am rooted.
I started out on 2.2 way back in the beginning. Then I flashed 2.3.5. That's when I lost my IMEI and replaced the phone.
But I wanted to keep experimenting at getting it working 100% even though I had a new working, rooted, and customized phone. Using 5IromToolBox I restored a backup from the new phone to the broken phone just to see if it would work. Then I flashed Stallion-51-ICS custom ROM. It is a GB based ROM with look and feel of ICS.
When I run the procedure in this thread, everything looks as though it has worked, but the IMEI never changes. So what did 5Irom do differently that it was able to restore the backup from a different phone but I cannot use DFS or NVEditor to write to the locations? The back I made from the new phone and restored to the old one is Consumer Cellular so I suspect they have locked something out that 5Irom is able to get around but other tools don't.
On another note, just for the heck of it I tried to upgrade to ICS from GB and it fails on the first update step. Go figure.
If I could find a full-flash procedure for the pro and 51 versions of this phone I suspect I could resolve all issues. Who knows?
UPDATE: I went through the whole process again and noted a point I forgot to mention. In DFS at the bottom of the screen EQF is yellow, not green. I don't recall exactly what that means but in reading through the DFS doc, it states that writing a new IMEI is not possible as long as EQF is yellow. When I enter my IMEI and click on the WRITE command the response is "MODECHANGE OfflineD OK"

it should be green! what i would do is to flash 2.2 then 2.3.5 and follow again the steps very carefully! maybe u ever flashed a partition and it's not the default one? i can't really help you :/ try this and if it doesn't work make a thread in the q&a section

Yeah, I knew that it should be green. The bottom line is I do not have the 2.2 image to flash. I would have done that a long time ago if I had it. All I have is the DiskImage backup that I made off of my new phone. When I flashed it onto the old phone it starts, displays the Consumer Cellular logo for about ten seconds then shuts off immediately. As far as starting a thread in Q & A, I did that weeks ago and got nowhere fast.
Any link I have found for the original 2.2 for -51 and pro is usually a broken link. or it takes me to download that stupid iLivid program that doesn't do squat to get the files I need. I did find a DiskImage file that somebody made and posted but it is almost 4 gig in size. You are supposed to use Pink Screen to load it but Pink Screen only gives me access to the image directory and it's only 256 meg.
Thank you for your time and suggestions.

I believe in the wiki section there are links to default 2.2 and 2.3.5. The ones I found a long time ago were from Blefish, although I'm not sure. Good luck!

Hi.
I try to download the "Drivers for Android 32 and 64 bit win 7 (not tested )", but its a dead link. I run win7 pro, and somehow the 32 bit driver doesn't work.
Would like to try the 64 bit driver. Could u reupload it, please?

I just did a repost cause i veen asked a lot of times I don't have the files and I don't thinks drivers are needed. You could just install huawei's suite for PC

Hi All,
Many thanks for this post.
Iv recently installed the Blefish CM11 rom for U8800 and its works fine. Only issue I have is IMEI=0. I can make and receive calls and even use the mobile internet.
My question is - Is there a way to edit the IMEI no on KK4.4.2 ROM through entering in the engineering mode?
or else, will have to start from the beginning (stock rom process as mentioned in the OP).
thanks for your help.

Hi,
I haven't found out the way to fix it yet.
Only way I got to fix is to redo the stock rom, root, save the imei and the reflash the custom rom.
The reason for the imei issue was changing the partitions
thnx anyways

Bravo now my G8232 fingerprint manager is back ! Big thanks everybody !

Thanks, which FW did you use?
Thanks for the quick and easy guide. Very helpful and I have successfully created an FTF file as a test. Just curious which firmware you used? I'm looking for something that has as little bloat as possible but understand each variant will come with some.
Example, did you use the customized SG, HK, etc. release?
Thanks in advance!

Another user in the patch thread solved it. You have to copy the G82XX patch to the device folder to overwrite the files and then press export first before importing the folder in flashtool.
"Delete that folder add the new folder then click export and then import the new folder and tadaa worked for me"

Hi guys. I have a question. So I have the US dual sim version as well. If I flash to global firmware do I lose my DRM keys for the camera?
Basically all I want to do is use global firmware to get fingerprint reader working. I don't really care for rooting it. I want to keep my camera DRM working. I tried reading a guide but it only shows me how to root. But I don't want to root.

How to video
I made a how to video a few weeks back on how to activate the fingerprint sensor.
I was having issues like the ones mentioned above and after several failed attempts I figured out what worked
This damn thing doesn't let me post links so just Google how to activate the fingerprint sensor on the Xperia xzs or just search for my channel using my username on YouTube

can you help me sir plz
contact me on my Gmail

I deleted the video a while ago. It's a 6 year old phone at this point.
