can anyone help me revive my Imate JAM, No GSM! I tried ROM upgrade to the latest version from clubimate ERROR 120:COUNTRY ID ERROR! Thankfully i run into this MaUpgradeUt_noID in this forum and was able to revive my unit , i thought i was home free. A week later No GSM again! Since then my JAM is just a PDA, all works fine except the phone. If i run the upgrade utility it stops at radio stack. I tried upgrading without the radio stack( remove the radio stack file from the folder which contains all the upgrade files) it succeeds..well not really i still have no radio rom installed. Is it end of the road for my device? HELP! Please...
Every other rom that I try either fails at 12% or 82%. I cant use HardSPLv7 or HardSPL. I've reached my the conclusion that my device will for ever be bricked. I started out with a No GSM error and I end up with Black Satin which is really stable but it doesnt help that I have no radio flashed to it. I refuse to cut my loses. Anyone that can be helpful I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Thank you C Brown
Have you tried flashing the HTC Official Rom with radio?
Try flashing back to the official ROM from your carrier...and the flash different ROM
Sounds like the Radio has been corupted.
Have you checked here
http://http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
I'm thinking you need to flash a radio back onto your device. Most if not all of the Cooked Roms recently don't have a Radio included. So, try upgrading the radio. From what I know, flashing a Rom with HardSPL on your device is fairly safe but the Radio is where things can go wrong.
Maybe you should visit the Hermes Upgrading forum and ask the guys there, look at the Sticky's.
I wonder how you lost the Radio? Did you try to upgrade it or did it just disappear?
I bought the phone bricked it had a No GSM error soo I figured I could fix it. Ive been working with wizards for sometime and I've never been able to not recover one. So Ive tried about 4 different radios all of which either fail for error 260 or 262. I've tried from both the os and bootloader. I had schaps newest rom and black satin and both of which ran fine but still no radio. Every OEM base rom I've tried fails at 82% its strange. I've read on other message boards that the only fix is to swap the boards. I dont believe that. I also tried Mtty's set 14 0
task 8 with no avail. I'm thinking if I down grade to WM5 and find a stable radio any radio for that matter and try to work up the ladder back to WM6.

GSM error so no radio
Try using the V3 Unlock then flash it may help.

Also its HTC branded its a straight TYTN its not bound to any carrier. So it should be sim unlocked but hopefully the Cid can be unlocked which could be the hang up during rom and radio changes. Thank you all for you advice all of it will be noted and tried out later today.
So I successfully Flashed Pandora to my phone but still no radio
It happened a while back when I was trying to update the radio image to latest 3.07 version and it failed saying "image corrupt". I believe my phone was again cid locked. I had done uspl unlocking a long back but I am not sure how it got re-locked.
Now when I insert a sim card into my orbit, it doesn't find the network. I trust this is as the radio image didn't update totally.
Worst of all, it fails to connect to activesync. It makes a connection as local area connection with limited connectivity. Activesync starts "troubleshooter for activesync" but to no avail. The problem isn't with activesync as activesync recognizes my other phones. Just to be sure I tried connecting it with my other computer as well and it gave the same error.
Now I am just left with the option of updating my rom using bootloader or using sd card and that too only the original rom's as I believe its CID locked again. The other rom stops updating at 3 % and the phone restarts. I tried the official o2 wm6 rom and the official o2 wm5 rom but I don't thing they have radio image as well, since the gsm problem still persists.
The activesync also still fails to connect.
Hence I trust I am left with the following:
-An orbit having O2 official wm5 rom installed with corrupted radio image.(Unable to register or find any gsm network)
-The device is cid locked
-The device not being connected by active sync.
So I am looking if anybody has a radio rom that would work on a cid locked o2 orbit(arte200). Also is there anyway to unlock cid other than activesync connection. Guys need a hand real bad... please
anybody... help
it might be time to "Kill" it, and get a warranty replacement. Fuse the main motherboard by applying power (no more than 12v) where power should not be...
that would be the last thing to do. I mean not to kill it but upgrade an o2 official rom and then take it to o2 saying the gsm radio just stopped working and getting it fixed under warranty.
but I was hoping to get a solution here from our expert cooks.
Help
Have read as much info as i can about bricked phone.
Have no radio working shows no gsm on boot
It apears that i can flash to any rom with out a radio, if i flash to one that includes it its stops at 11 - 13% and comes up with an error message 262.

please help as this was my dads phone
its an orange spv3100/ herms 100
try reinstalling a stock rom. might work but if you cant install a radio it looks like you have a nice pda but not a phone anymore...
No Not really
The only reason i was having to reflash the phone was that it was locking up all the time, even having flashed the phone it was having problems with Tom Tom.
Please HELLP!
Can some one please advise me on this situation,
is there any way of sorting this out?

Have tried radio only roms,
they wont work at all and stays at 0%
have olivpro 2.30 and hardspl7
thought this was ment to prevent bricking?
no, it improves chances of recovering a brick but wont stop it from happening. It loks like your radio is corrupted. You might have to bite the bullet and tell your dad his phone no longer works... sorry for the bad news...
have you tried flashing a rom with radio included through yur sd card. had same issue and this worked for me.
If ya can't install a radio, sounds like your stuck with a pda and not a phone.
Have you tried a number or radio's?
As ultramag69 says
no, it improves chances of recovering a brick but wont stop it from happening. It loks like your radio is corrupted. You might have to bite the bullet and tell your dad his phone no longer works... sorry for the bad news...

using hardsplv7 improves chances of recovering, but nothing is 100%
If you flash your phone with manufacturers rom and get everything back to original, see if orange or manufacturer will fix it under warranty or insurance. THIS IS A LAST RESORT AS IF THEY DIG DEEP AND KNOW YOU HAVE MESSED WITH PHONE, THEY'LL DO NOTHING FOR YOU!!!
Personally I have returned phone once due to not being able to receive or make calls. I flashed original rom etc but forgot to put original radio back on. They never noticed and I got my phone back fixed. But this is a BIG RISK.

Ditto.
Is there anyway of fixing the corrupted radio? is there no way to "re-write" the radio bootloader?
obviously the radio bootloaders have changed over the different versions of the roms so why cant we "re-construct" the bootloaders in this fashion?
Referring to :HERMES Bootloader 1.01 MFG (WIKI) I cant use the "Flashing SPL-1.04 again" method because my radio is corrupted, so, I lose SuperCID, and don't have access to the lnb command; is there a SPL-1.04.nbS that we can use?!
If there is, would it allow us to use a radio of that version? or is this mute?
I've read several threads and the wiki several times, but, it seems this corrupted radio issue is something new that the wiki's are partially addressing, or, whatever has caused the radio to suddenly become corrupt requires a new method to fix it.
I know i've said I've read the forums, wiki, but perhaps I've missed something? Any assistance is appreciated!
I was wondering if any body had spl 1.04 on their mini sd card?
the method were you just transfer over to the mini card and click on it.
i managed to change my boot loader to version 1.01 this way.
if i can change it to 1.04 can i flash to radio with out it stopping.
thanks
just solved exact problem

This link you speak of is of high importance!! what were the commands? what was the link?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-280372.html
but after installing radio 1.47 it happened again in one call.
still in square one ....
No SD-card install works (stucks in GSM)
no shipped rom works
i want to ask if there is anyway to erase the whole radio sector ??
rerase command did not work on my hermes may be pof has some solution to this.

After lots and lots of reading the wiki's and forums over and over again I believe I may have solved the radio corruption problem on my 8525.
Just to let everyone know that I've tried flashing several SPL's; 1.01 MFG, 1.04, 1.10 Oli, 2.10 Oli, 2.60 Oli. Back and forth between the versions but finally I stayed put at 1.10.
I have/had a type 1a brick, but, not from flashing, everything was working great and then it just died. I tried Method 1 of Problem 5: Device shows NO GSM when booting more times then i would like to remember, however, nothing worked. When i tried a Radio only flash it failed at 0% and when i tried a FULL RUU it failed at 12/13% (GSM.nb). Convinced I had a $500 paper weight I got angry tried Method 2 of Problem 5 (see above link) ... strangely on the first try i was able to see the radio (1.40.30.00) and the protocol version as well...
I then thought this was too good to be true and then soft-reset my phone; BAM! "NO GSM".... I tried several times and then finally got the version readouts again... So i soft-reset into bootloader mode
Code:
typed: info 2
returned: HTCS
typed: task 32
returned: Level = 0
typed: rtask b
returned: AT-Command Interpreter ready <--------- YES!!!
I was then able to get enter the AT/Radio Commands so i did what anyone else would do.... FLASH ANOTHER RADIO!!!
I flashed the Radio from HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a and it just finished... I got an error at the end, and after the soft-reset the version stayed 1.40.30.00, but once booted into WM6.1 it immediately picked up the 3G signal... I hope this lasts longer then others have reported.
Should i try to flash another radio that is radio_bootloader 108???
*sigh* ... froze in WM6.1 reset then "No GSM" again... so then i tried HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a but it failed because I kept getting No GSM; so i did the battery trick to get version info's then ran the .bat as instructed and it perfomed the unlock; this time it reflected the radio 1.16.0.0
since I know what it takes to get the radio to flash, i'm trying RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe ..... i mean what do i have to lose right?
[EDIT] it worked... so lets see what happens.... [/EDIT]
[EDIT2] Radio is 1.54.07.00 & Protocol is 32.86u.7020.23H ... so it looks like its perm now... I've been able to send and recieve calls now too.... [/EDIT2]
after several hours of usage, radio no longer responds and WM becomes unstable and after a soft-reset I get "No GSM" ...
Question to Olipro, Des, pof:
Is it possible to log the beginning bootup screen to see what exactly triggers the "No GSM" vs the radio/protocol versions?!?! there has to be something that were missing... it would seem ever since radio 108 this problems have arisen... comments?
yesterday i upgraded my mda compact 3 with the new radio version
Before this upgrade i upgraded my mda with different roms and radios with succes
After the new radio upgrade from t-mobile, is the cid lock back on my mda and i cant upgrade it with new rom versions.
Even the Artemis USPl doesnt work anymore
a T-mobile rom upgrade works
but if i want to upgrade my mda with a different rom, disconnects the mda the usb connection.
i solved my problem
Step 1
remove sim and mem card
step 2
run uspl
step 3
upgrade radio back to old version
step 4
upgrade the rom
What was the radio version you installed?
Did you try CID unlock?
Cheers
radio version 3.06.90
cid unlock ?
do you mean the armenis uspl?
what is your SPL?
See this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403

ipl 3.15.0001

hey man i do have the same problem i can't also not upgrade/update my mda compact 3 after i wanted to try the new T-mobile software but now i cant do anything i'm from holland and have installed the mda upgrade from tmobile can you explain to me more specified wat you did..?
hoi gasten,
I had the same problem. It helps to get your cards out before beginning, but I used the USPL untill the screen went black and the USB connection failed.
You could see there was power on, only because ther was this glow around the screen. Disconnected the device, took out the battery and started again.
Then I updated the ROM (tom_codon b&b) and it was succesfull.
The radio update (3.21.90) went exactly the same way.
I haven't got any problems since, not even with the dutch T-Mobile network, exept offcourse with activeSTINK.
But even this works fine after switching from USB port.
Good luck
