Do I have a corrupt radio or bad flash?

I have been running a version of pays build since last feb.
lately a few things stated to get buggy, alarms, notifications and internet connection stability.
It would attempt to connect id see the 3G turn to an H for a few sec and it would go away and never show up again until I did a reset.
I dealt with everything until the internet connection became too unstable.
At 1st I just needed to rest the phone once in a while, to a few times, and then the last draw was when it took over 15 resets to get it to connect to internet.
I have reflashed my phone and the internet connection seems to be doing the same thing again.
So this has me thinking it’s physically a bad radio or the software for the radio is corrupt. Since flashing the phone to most new roms does not change the radio.
My phone is a herm200
The radio I have been using for ever that worked for me is 1.48.00.10
my phone is running PDACornerPro.V27
I have the proxy disabled

Do you flash a stock rom 1st then the other roms, especially BS roms as this may help the unstable issues.
I would suggest doing some research on what radio rom works well in your area as you may need to upgrade BUT I wouldn't start flashing radios to test as they are the cause of most permanent bricks if things go wrong. If you do need to flash a new radio I'd suggest the sd card method, I'm assuming you have Hard SPL V7 installed, and make sure you use a 2Gb or less card formatted FAT32.
I would also suggest doing a check for bad blocks before flashing the radio as it may be that too.
Radio rom flashing is REALLY the last thing you do....
Hope this helps,
Cheers...

so i should flash the official HTC rom or a lite rom with nothing added and then the cooked rom?
bad blocks? how do check for those.
thanks

Do a search for bad blocks 1st, connect to mtty and type in info 8. if you have bad blocks type task 2a.
There may be "bad blocks" as the carrier sometimes brand the phones. These can't be fixed.
Find a Stock rom, most people use AT&T, either find the version that has had the radio removed or remove it yourself with a little surgery using a program called ROM Koch. It allows you to break the ROM into .nb files eg. os.nb, radio.nb...
This means you can then put the ROM back the way you like... I'd suggest to put back everything but the radio and keep the cooked "stock" rom. It is still a stock rom but you don't have the inconvenience, or potential bricking, of your Hermes to worry about. Then install the Rom of your choice...
Don't use a lite rom as they have been cooked and altered.
Cheers...

so far no luck.
i still get spotty connections. if it connects i am good for a while if not i have to reset the phone and hope for the best. it could take many resets.
1st i flashed this
official_AT&T_WM6_striped
then i flashed this
V15_M2D_Plain_3G
I updated the radio
from
HERM_Radinly_1.48.00.10
to
HERM_Radinly_1.56.70.11
I uese this to configure my wap settings
cingular_wap.wpbear_Proxy_Folders.cab
I even swaped my girlfriends sim with my sim to see if it was an accout
or sim problem.
the problem still stays with my phone.
Now i am thinking this could be a hardware problem.
can a 3rd party battery cause odd side effects like this.

Thank you for your help ultramag69.
Alot of your tips helped me get a stable rom flashed to my cell.
I the end i think the cab file i used to configure my att internet setting caused the network problems.
I now manualy configured it and have had a perfect run so far.
i also reflashed every thing starting with a att rom.
I looked at the media net and mms setting and used those after i flashed
V15_M2D_Plain_3G.
setting on the att rom
TCP/IP and Servers
select-> Use server-assigned IP address
setting used on config cab. I think using the ip address caused me the problems.
server ip
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Update phone is acting twitchy again with its internet connection.
Everything is the same as above.
The phone worked great this weekend and now it has yet to keep a stable internet connection.
Now I am really thinking it hardware problem.
Something gets loose or loses tolerance maybe heat or some thing like that causes the module that controls the network connection to fail.
Anyone have any guesses or tests?
Maybe att is messing with my device...

WiFi Problems since upgrading to 1.56

I know other people are struggling with Wifi. It does not even turn on.
I have tried several roms and different radios but wifi just will not turn on.
It used to when I was using the original SPL but since I upgraded to SPL 1.54 so I could use the newer 1.56 roms, wifi has not worked.
I have also tried HardSPL from Olinex but same thing.
Does anybody know if it is just the older Touch HDs are affected or is it just a random few?
More importantly, doe anybody know a fix for this?
Thank you.
CJ

Moved out of dev!
First you need to find out if you have an issue with your device.
Re install stock SPL, then your stock rom.
Then check your wifi.
I have not read of people having issues with wifi and can not work out why SPL would effect that.

OK. Here is my story. I bought HTC Touch HD from ebay (Orange one). Used USPL to upgrade ROM. Didn't do anything (it was SIM locked, I was using turbosim). It worked perfectly. Can't understand why that happened, but wi-fi stopped working 2 days ago. Simptoms, when you try to turn wi-fi on, it's just going round and nothing. The only unusual thing I did was, I put SIM card from another provider for a couple of minutes.
Steps to solve this problem:
1. Unlocked SIM, CID, Security with olipro's tool . Thanks to Olipro. Now it is SIM, CID, Security unlocked. Wi-fi did't work.
2. Installed HardSpl 1.56Olinex and WM 6.5. Everything was working like it should be (GPS, Bluetooth, GSM, GPRS, Edge and etc). Wi-Fi didn't work.
3. Restored original SPL 1.14 and Orange ROM. Everything is working. Wi-fi doesn't work.
Opened HTC Touch HD service manual. Read from the begging to the end. The below are some extractions from that book:
---------------------------------------------------------
13．Wireless connection (WLAN/BT) not functioning
(1) Make sure the wireless environment is OK before connecting to WLAN.
(2) Make sure the wireless connection setting has properly set.
(3) Make a life connection with Internet or another device.
(4) Try to re-flash the ROM code. ----->
(5) Try with another main board if necessary
(6) Once the defective part has been identified, verify the defective part again whether the symptom could be
duplicated with another unit.
-------------------------------------------------------------
L1. 6. Memory card for ROM code re-flash ( must be encoded by HTC) HTC design
--------------------------------------------------------------
So, "try to reflash the ROM code" is the interesting one. But were to get that memory card for Rom code reflash.
Wi-fi is a real pain for owners of the HTC devices, just search the web. But it looks like, something has just stuck in my device, and I just need some special program or tool to change the status of my wireless card from from "off" to "on", so Windows Mobile could see it. Can anybody help us.

I had a problem when going to 1.56...and had the wrong SPL. Used CrackWhore's guide, and got 1.56 working. Then later found out that Wifi wasn't working and kept defaulting to airplane mode. I went back to CrackWhore's guided and followed it again, and this time the Wifi is fine and after two days it seems everything is working. You might try that as the SPL may be wrong.

My phone lost BT/Wifi after ROM install

After installing OliSPL, new radio and custom rom (Energy or BlackStone) I lost all wifi connectivity (cant detect any wifi networks, unsecured or secured) and BT can't detect any devices either.
I tried going back to Original HTC Rom with no luck, the problem still remains.
Can anyone please help me figure out what the problem is. If you need any other info please ask as I have no idea what to include here.
Thank you!

if the only problems are wi-fi and bluetooth and those things are not explicitly declared as bugs in your rom (don't bother, they're not), then it is the radio rom, that causes these problems. have you performed at least one or two hard resets after flashing? did you restore any kind of backup afterwards?
have you tried another radio version? what is your current radio?

Sounds like you might need to update to the newest radio 2.15
Check what radio you have right now
ww.4shared.com/file/rVNaZcTK/Task_29_with_Radio_2155014.html

Thanks a lot but it is not working still.
This is what I have done:
1. Update Radio ROM from 2.13 to 2.15
2. Flashing DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF
3. Recovery_150M_system_5M_cache_v3.0.2.5_
4. ROM TyphooN_CM7_v3.5.9-MAGLDR
when I figure out that phone still not working properly I have decided do flash another ROM version: NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.0_NAND_(Android-2.3.5). But my Leo still freezing and I can't even configure it when 2G or 3G connection established. WiFi is working very good and this is only way to use internet in my LEO.
Maybe You have any other ideas how to resolve my problem ? Please

hmm
maybe updating to the newest clockwork would help 4.0.1.4 works really well on all roms i run and i do a lot
but the main culprit is THE APN settings
go into wireless settings>mobile networks>access point names (apn)
make sure you have the right settings in there for your provider
i remember when android first came to hd2 i had to input those setting every time i put a new rom in.
i dont know who ur provider is but it should be easy to find out the proper settings for it and then inputting them and saving
otherwise it could be your sim card
see how it goes ..... see what the apn settings are for boyppc and just copy them to other roms
you could PM me too
panie wojciechu nie ma problemu

Po polsku piszemy ?
I'm gonna check this settings. but in my opinion this is hardware issue. When phone is freezed - mainboard temperature is increasing. Sometimes I must wait until temperature decrease to normal becouse Android is not starting. It's stop on Go go go screen of MAGLDR.
When 2G or 3G connection is established I can download files or browse internet so I think that provider (T-mobile) settings are ok but as I mentioned I gonna check this out.
Thank you again

I agree when the phone overheats it freezes and turns off. Turning the phone on before letting it cool off will cause boot failure you're describing. Frequent overheating can ause the touchscreen to stop responding as well. It happened to my phone too, thank god it was under warranty. Since that day I stopped overclocking it.
Polska Gurom!

[Q] WP7 hd2 internet connection problem

Hi Everyone
I've been having a lot of trouble. I've managed to finally install WP7 on my HD2 but there are still some things its lacking. I followed a couple of guides, including upgrading the radio, HPSL4, MAGLDR 1.13, and finally wp7.
I can't seem to connect to my wifi connection or my 3G internet. This sorta makes everything else very difficult. Including unlocking other things.
any help would be appreciated. I'm a little unsure of the version of WP7 i'm using. If there is a really good one out there, let me know and i'll install that one instead.
also, is there a file manager in wp7?
thanks
btw, i love you guys and all the work you do. i've had my hd2 2 years now, and its still rocking!

another problem: the phone says it has very little memory

UPDATE: loading a different rom has fixed the problem with connecting to the internet but i still can't connect to the wifi.
I have another SD card i could use, but i don't really want to lose everything on it :S

problem solved.
i installed android. thanks for the help

you should of done a full install of wm 6.5. and flash task 29 hspl and etc. should fix your issues.

Does this work? I have the similar problem after I flashed any roms like 7740 or 8107, wifi works fine, but can't connect the 3G or EDGE as the radio hardware is 0.0.0.0，what can I do then?

which WP7 ROM you try?

Many guys have the same trouble as you！！！
The hardware radio version is “0.0.0.0”！

HI 同样的问题 不管刷什么版本的固件 radio都是0.0.0.0 都无法流量上网
wifi 和android系统下的流量却都是正常上网的，求解！

I have the same problem of radio version showing up as 0.0.0.0.
Is your HD2 model a T-Mobile version?

radio hardware version 0.0.0.0, no data connection
Did anyone here find a solution to this problem of having radio 0.0.0.0 ? I have been working on this for a few days now and have not bee able to solve it. I also only get data for a few minutes and then it quits by itself. I have never been able to send or receive mms messages with Windows 7.5, I could do both with Windows 6.5. If anyone found the answer to this problem please post it. I am getting gray hairs over this problem. Thanks in advance.
