Long story short, tried getting my battery replaced, they broke the screen, ended up with a new screen and battery. Since then, the radio has been stuck in Off. I've been fighting radio issues since the phone came out, but this one has me stumped!
Relevant info:
Dev Edition on Verizon
Android ver 8.0.0 (latest)
S-Off
vzw_pme_radio.img
Preferred network: LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (PRL) - this worked until I got the phone back.
Best I can figure out is that a bunch of settings got reset when the battery was replaced. For other phones the fix has been to pull the battery and let it reset again. Unfortunately not really an option on these phones.
Accessing the secret menu or the settings show that the radio is off. I have tried re-flashing the vzw radio as well as flashing to the VzwHTC10_1.19.605.9radio.img as well as the Version [email protected]_51.01_F (FW 1.80.617.1) radio.
Is it possible that its a hardware issue from improper reassembly? Would a factory reset fix this?
Edit: Took it back because I was also having some other issues with it after the screen was replaced, and the radio worked again.

I have a g4 8125 and tried to flash black diamond 2.0 using shelltool. I followed all the instructions, but I may have messed something up. I installed the enablerapi and certspcs files on my phone, but i realized later that i did this after turning off my radio. After flashing I made a hard reset, and now it just comes to the cingular splash screen and shows my ipl, spl, gsm and os (which it says is 6.0.0.0) and doesn't load anything. Anyone have any ideas? It won't connect to activesync either.
edit: sorry for my ignorance, thanks for the help though!

For starters, hold down the camera + power button whil poking at the reset button
Hello there.
This is my first post, and I hopefully pray that I don´t get a "Please Do a search" kind of answer as I have been doing a hard search through the forum but haven´t found what I´m looking for. Probably I´m just using the wrong search terms but english is not my native language so I´m not sure how to look up for this issue.
First, I unlocked the sim of my device by sending it to a third party. Afther that, the phone came with a Wizard-Love OS installed, and finally I got excited and started to mess around with the Shelltool to get the device upgraded to WM6. (It´s a G4 by the way).
First I successfully upgraded to wm6 wee htc wizard v5.2.660, but then I found that the keyboard mapping was all wrong with the shown special characters (they weren´t where they were supposed to be at all), so i tried messing up with the registry trying to select a local language for spanish with no success at all....
Also I was having some issues trying to connect to internet via wi-fi even when I did get connected to the network, but did not test it hard enough.
Then I went farther trying to "shelltool" a Black Diamond 2.0 Touch rom, but then everything became a real mess... The Shelltool said that it was finish only like 4 to 5 minutes after starting so I disconected and Hard Reseted the unit. Don´t remember if I disabled the radio before flashing it, nor if I had the sd card installed on the device at the flashing momment, but definetly i had reinstalled the cert_spcs and EnableRapi cabs prior to this seccond attempt.
After the hard reset, it started but freezed on the first screen showing the ipl, spl, gsm and os (which it says is 6.0.0.0). Then I hard reset like two more times, with no luck. Then I entered on the bootloader mode, but after trying that for a while the phone stopped responding. It did not turn off, so I removed the battery. Then when I put the battery back the unit did not turn on at all. Even it did not show the charging red light when I connected it to the usb nor the wall ac adapter. I was devastated... I leaved the unit with the battery out all the night and the next day I reinstalled the battery to see that the device did turn on and did charge, but still it was locked on the splash window.
I tryed to reflash the unit using the bootloader under windows xp, after killing the activesync connection and using the wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WEE_Novii_CF2 rom. The unit showed a progress bar so the pc and after 10-12 minutes it was done. I Hard reseted the unit but then it always started on the bootloader screen as if I was pressing the camera button.
Hard reseted, soft reseted, battery out and in, no luck. Then it went dead again. It did not turn on at all and no charging light. Once again i leaved the unit all day without battery and send it to the friend that had unlocked the sim for me. He just called me and told me that the unit was now up and running again with wizard_love rom. I´m really not sure how he did it. Probably i did something with the sd inserted when it was supposed to be out. I did flashed the wizard love on bootloader with the sd inserted but i´m not sure if that could have make the mess.
I would like to know if anyone have had this kind of lock up and how to deal with it (how much time to leave the battery out, etc). Also I will love to know how did my friend (he wont tell me as is it´s bussines and he charges for it) finally restarted my unit flashing wizard_love again, as I´m still too curious to not try to flash my unit again and probably be on the same mess once again.
Thanks in advance.
That's a lovely 1st post. If every one is to be like that.. it would be just to nice to help others.
Anyway, this may not sound logical, but I get problems with Shelltools when I do not have the official ROM flashed before another flash. What I would suggest is that, you ought to have an official ROM (check Wiki to download your official ROM flashing EXE), which seems to get me out of trouble a few times.
Also, it maybe wise to check your battery before any flashing attempt, make sure it is 100% (60% will do mostly, but in case of an emergency, that 40% helps). It cases where a phone doesn't go charge/bootloader, it is battery problem. The overnight thingy that you've done, probably rest the battery long enough to boost it to a charge (e.g. how you get a blink when you switch off a torchlight for period of time on a low batt).
Good also among your information, tell us the IPL/SPL/Radio on the ROM you are using.
Hello,
Hope someone could help a new guy with a Sprint 6800. A couple weeks ago I noticed the blue led switched on overnight and has stayed on. At the time the phone was running the latest stock sprint rom.
I did the usual troubleshooting - hard reset, clean wipe, pulled battery, ran it w/o battery, and made sure no apps where affecting. I'm think its a hardware problem since when you pull the battery and install it - the led stays on even before WM6 loads. Took it to Sprint and got a bit of a run around - they want to send it in for repair for 2-3 weeks, opposed to replacing it (I have the protection plan). I can't live without it for that long so I'm dealing with it right now.
I did try a few other things - some apps to power leds off - they work great with the green, but not the blue. I also tried reflashing it with other user built roms, upgrading & downgrading he radio, etc with the hopes of triggering it to off or changing its state.
Anyone ever have this happen or know of a simple solution?
Thanks so much, anything is appreciated!
Tom
umm do you have blue tooth turned on?
even with BT on the LED should flash intermittantly, not be on all the time
i agree it sounds like a hardware issue, you shoudl be able to tell sprint you cant be without your phone for that long, they might give you a loaner (i had this done once with VZW)
Comm manager button on the side, under power button. Make sure bluetooth has an x on it.
Phone problems - Weird icon, "No Service" - defaults to phone off after reset...
So...
I picked up a Sprint mogul on Ebay.
It was cheap, stuck in bootloader mode... and easy to get out of that.
I wanted to flash it to MetroPCS - and started doing things to it...
Flashing roms, upgrading radios, putting a different PRL on it, etc...
And somewhere along the way, the phone started not working.
Windows boots up, bootloader works fine, WiFi is cool...
But the phone will not get a signal - even when I change the PRL back to sprint, flash a new rom (Even Altel's latest), etc...
Nothing.
Any ideas?
I had the same problem when i was doing a metro switch over with my mogul, ended up having to get another one. I have a friend that has been messing with the moguls since they came out and he couldnt get it to get the signal back. when you turn it on does it start in air plane mode? and does it give you a message "the phone is off tunr it on?" but you still get no signal? thats what mines was doing. scrap it. its bricked. use it for parts
Yeah - that's exactly what it's doing.
I kinda gave up on it - got a 6700 that just... works.
This one has the hardware button problem too (something software based, no hardware buttons work for some reason...)
Apparently there's no fix for that either...
Despite it being a software issue.
The hardware buttons work for hard resets and loading bootloader mode, so it's not a hardware problem.
This issue was there when I first got the thing.
The phone problem started with flashing a non-stock rom.
:-/
Oh well.
Thanks for the reply!
Hi everyone, I tried find thread with similar problem, but none was same, I have my htc touch hd around year, custom energy rom, everything working fine, last week first time phone turn off itself, I was just thinking maybe was me by accident, but today done already four times, there is no any problem turning on like different people said, no any stuck button, doesn't need to reset phone, or remove battery, everything working just fine.., never drop or hit to something, never split water on it, I tried reinstall rom to different, same, reinstall radio still turn off itself, most times when in pocket, please any advice or help...
many thanks..
looks like fresh SPL done job, phone if fine today all day, no more turning off..
Let us know how it goes after the fresh SPL. When my Touch Hd had the same problem as yours 1 day later it became non-resposive and got the BLACK screen of death. Lucky I had 1 day left for my warranty so I flashed back to stock ROM and stock SPL. I sent the phone to HTC Global centre for warranty repair and they replaced the motherboard.
for the moment going strong, already looks like battery life improved, and no more turning off..
long story short, I broke the screen, and took it apart and replaced it. overall the phone seems to be working, but the problem I have is the cell radio can't find a way to turn on. there is no custom rom, or anything,
I factory reset the phone as well, added APN,
I tried the whole *#*#4636#*#* thing, and it didnt appear to do anything, but if you go to phone information it shows the cell radio is off,
I was wondering if anyone may have an idea what could be the problem?
