After many flashings of roms, I finally flashed back to the official AT&T WM6 rom located at the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334771
My phone, even with my new sim card doesn't pick up any reception at all. All I get is the two arrows with the "x" and that other weird symbol with the exclamation point next to it.
I have a tilt and when I pop my sim inside, it works perfectly, no hiccups what so ever.
I live here in Hawaii and we just recently turned on the 3G network and I'm not sure if it affects my 8525.
Any ideas on what may be wrong? I had used Black Majiks WM6 on my 8525 previously but this past Monday I had issues with it so I tried flashing a bunch of times and still no fix.
I've searched through the threads for the last 2 days and everything I've tried so far hasn't work and I'm really desperate and need input from more professional users. PLEASE!!!
More information regarding phone problem.
When I try hit the green phone button, it doesn't do anything. Also going to phone settings under the settings menu, and it doesn't go there! Don't know why, I try to click it and nothing. Other icons work, not that one though.
This is getting ever more frustrating and I'm still searching through the thread for possible solutions, but nothing. Someone out there has to have some clue as to what may be wrong!
Found out another thing that might be of importance.
When I reset my device, soft or just turning it off and on, I get a "No GSM" on the AT&T screen.
Man, I've even gone as far as visiting Mr. Vanx's site to downgrade everything back to WM5. I still get the "No GSM" on my startup screen and no connection!
WTF?????????????
Well if you can get to the boot loader try flashing the official rom from HTC's Site for your phone. I'm not saying the one you DLe'd from here was bad but maybe it's just not the right one for your phone for some reason.

Well not to say the ROM you DL'ed from here was bad or anything but if you can get to the bootloader flash the officially released ROM from http://www.america.htc.com/ for your phone and see if that fixes your problem. Maybe the ROM you got from here is just not the right one for your phone or something. Worh a try anyway as you can't really use it as is.

You know, the weird thing is that I tried to download stuff from the American HTC site, and I can only max out at 10.0kbps and I can NEVER get the whole file, only 15% maybe.
Talk about running into one problem after the other.
Is there a mirror out there somewhere?

I agree, anyone have it I can download? I keep getting lockups on my 8525 with the Schapps build and I want to try the offical build to see if it's the device or the build........but it downloads SOOOO slow......
Just finnninshed uploading RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe the Official ATT/HTC America file to Media Share. Here is the link for you. Hope it helps, let me know.

Ok thanks for the uploads. Got the file. I just want to make sure if I should upgrade to Hard-SPL V7 before I use the update the rom?
I went all the way back to Herm SPL 1.06 and Cingular WM5. Don't want to brick the phone so wanted confirmation before I do anything else. Can't afford for things to get more messed up.

Well I like using Hard-SPL V7 especially for the cooked roms as it gives you a bit of safety, but the rom I uploaded here is the Official HTC America / ATT Rom so you can follow their flash instructions for it. I even successfully flashed this ROM from VISTA 64 bit with no problem to my Herm 100.
As with any Flashing their is always a risk if something should go wrong that you will have a brick but your already near that point as you can't do anything with the phone at this point anyway.
GL & let us know how you make out.
Hello All,
I have been upgrading mine and a few friend's dash's to the Kavana 6.1. My Dash however has a hardware issue (the ear piece speaker is distorted) and is being replaced through warranty service. My new dash arrived today, and I know I need how to re flash my software back before I send it to T mobile. I downloaded TMO_1.22.531.6 from the official rom sticky. However when I open the zip file it is a RUU_signed.nbh file contained inside.
I am not sure how to flash with this file. I assume it requires some other software in order to flash it. I have tried numerous searches and can't really seem to find what I am looking for. I really got spoiled by the simple EXE launchers included with Kavana rom's.
Any help would be VERY appreciated.
Thanks!
You need to go to this thread .
On the bottom of that thread download the files needed zip file, add (copy or move) the .nbh file in that folder after you unzip it of course.
Run the romutilityupgrade.exe file and follow the directions as you did before.
Why not go to Tmobile support site and download the official Rom and install that ?
Thank you for your help -- I actually tried it both ways.
First I tried to use the t-mobile website and when I attempted to run the exe it always failed out on error 202 which of course is usb (even though it was connected). So then I tried it the way by grabbing the software recommended. When I ran the AUTO batch script (similar to the way I installed Kavana), it installed just fine. So that being said, I got it downgraded. If you can't tell I don't have a real great understanding of the actual upgrade/downgrade process.
Issue is tho, when I first got the phone, the initial splash screen was t mobile if I remember correct, but when I upgraded to Kavana it changed it to the HTC logo. Well after the downgrade, it still boots with the HTC logo instead of Tmobile. Will that be a dead give away that I flashed the phone when warranty center receives it? If so how could i change it?
That's definitely gonna raise some eyebrows.. but I kinda doubt they'll notice it. Just look at the idiot phone techs you get when you call their tech support line... I don't know how you would change that...

you can go here--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341753 and follow instructions on post #1 to reflash the tmobile boot spash screen. i've tried it and i have the t-mo splash screen now.
Thanks for the help! I actually was able to get it to successfully go away by stepping back another version to .4 from .6 -- this replaced the screen and returned it back to the way it came. Coincidentally, after looking at the replacement units software version and confirming it was .4 I feel fairly confident everything will be fine, oh and now everyone doesn't sound like a robot!
Thanks again,
Chris
I read that the xv6800 agps fix would also work for the xv6900, but after I install the modem drivers and plug in my phone and then put it in dmr mode, it shows up on my computer as "HTC Vogue Diagnostics" not "HTC USB Modem" and it cannot find the drivers. anyone else have this problem?
im experimenting the same thing but what rom are you using? im using NFSFAN sprint rom and I saids vogue diagnostics I dont know what I did wrong.
yep...i'm using the same rom. I wish there was a way to solve this without flashing to a diff rom. i really like this rom and have a lot of stuff that would take quite a bit to backup/restore if i flashed to another rom
Follow these links and you'll find your fix! I had the same problem as you guys. NFSFAN at ppchaven.com posted the driver you need. (or you can use a vista computer) Vista works with a weird quirk.

Here is how I got the drivers installed and working perfectly.
For some reason the model numbers don't match up in the inf file provided by the WModem installer. I changed the following line in qcusbmdm.inf
from:
; For WinXP
[Models.NT.5.1]
%OEM00% = ModemXP, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0B03&MI_00
to:
; For WinXP
[Models.NT.5.1]
%OEM00% = ModemXP, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_00CF
Then just went to device manager and updated the driver using the updated qcusbmdm.inf

Sweet! That worked beautifully. Thanks.
I was having the same problem, I flashed to an older radio, not the 450. And then my phone was recognized. I then applied that agps fix and upgraded the radio and agps has been working flawlessly. As for ROMs, I have been running NFSFAN's and have been very happy with them. Im running 1.09 right now because I upped to 1.10 (verizon) and had a problem with Touchpal and autocomplete SMS, so i went back to 1.09.

Don't know what this means? nor how to do this. I've done this fix on a titan (numerous time) but can't get the computer to recognize the phone in DRM?
Sambino, one of those links is broken. can't find the driver, any chance of posting?
Thanks
Kmanuel, download the usual wmodem drivers, which you probably already have. Once they are installed, navigate to \C:\Windows\system32\drivers and locate the driver installed, qcusbmdm.inf. You could also just do a search on C: for that file. Once you find it, right click and open with notepad. Locate the lines that bigjr99 gives, beginning with "For WinXP":
; For WinXP
[Models.NT.5.1]
%OEM00% = ModemXP, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0B03&MI_00
and simply change the data to:
; For WinXP
[Models.NT.5.1]
%OEM00% = ModemXP, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_00CF
Then save that file and put your phoen in DIAG and plug it in. If it asks what driver just locate the system32\drivers\ folder and it will find it!
Thanks, that works pisser. Did not know where to start to look for those drivers. Thank you.
Thanks so much guys - I've been looking for a solution for this for hours. Only interesting thing was that the files were actually located in a different folder (not the drivers folder) - they were in a folder called 'DRVSTORE'. So I copied the inf. file into the driver folder. It worked until it asked for a system file (qcmdmxp.sys) which was also in the DRVSTORE folder. Copied that in, and poof - I'm good to go! Thanks!
Ok I am confused and cant seem to get the GPS to work. This is what i have done.
The phone is a verizon xv6900 (a week old).
1) when I first recieved it the customizations ran
2) I upgraded to the official VZW WM6.1 (3.14.605.1) from the verizon site and again let the customizations run
3) Now I started researching the gps features - reflashed WM6.1 (3.14.605.1) but didnt let the customizations run.
4) Installed the Vahalla cab - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix
no luck with 3rd party gps (a standard one like a garmin).
5) Installed NSFAN's verizon GPS cab and GPS Viewer.
GPS viewer looks like it is doing something (scrolling through stuff in the setup screen) but never gets a satellite (about 5 - 10 min waiting time).
What am I doing wrong. I would like to keep the verizon rom if possible.

You would probably get a quicker answer from this thread:

Well I followed those instructions, but it doesn't work for me. I think because my rom version is not the same that is listed in those instructions. Evidently vzw has created a new WM6.1 rom since the orginal in 2008.
What I mean is post the questions there. That is the thread to discuss GPS issues with the stock MR1 or MR2 roms.
"Serfboreds" has come up with a really easy GPS Fix if your running Valhalla with the latest Verizon rom. Simple and easy as pie. Dowload and install the Serf Telus aGPS for Valhalla Cab and dial *22899 to reprogram the phone. Damn thing is working again!!!!!!!!
Fix to the Verizon's BS move to shut down the GPS!

KCDale99 Posted this, couple weeks ago, it still works people.!!!!!!!!........
I justreceived a new XV6900 in the mail today when mine suffered a hardwarefailure of some sort. The new phone came with the newest ROM whichincludes the 3.37.78 radio. Of course I turn on the phone, and updatesrun. This disabled the GPS even after loading a custom ROM. the aGPSfix would not work, and gps Viewer couldn't even find one satellite.
Ifigured this was just like an old, 'let the customizations run'problem. So I followed the steps found here with one exception:
<!-- m -->http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?titl ... ERIZON_GPS<!-- m -->
Onstep 4, I ran the RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78_ShipOfficial ROM from Verizon. I did NOT let customizations run. I thenloaded my custom ROM. This puts me on the official Verizon radio.
After that, the aGPS fix worked like a charm and GPS is working.
Iknow this is a rehash of other issuew, but I wanted to let everyoneknow that the newest phones shipping are disabling GPS all together.
THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE!!!!!!! been at this for a week now with absolutely no luck until now this guy has it.................. 5-31-09
I used NFSFAN's custom ROM WM6.5v8 for my custom rom.
the only other thing i had to do is when i was done installing ROM's my phone would not authenticate on Verizon network, so instead of calling them i use the online MY Verison to activate my phone to a old Verizon i760 then re-activated my xv6900 online ordered (verizon) a week ago !!! I have tried every fix, etc... until this combo... except i never went to the leaked verizon radio been to the bell, us cellular, alltel, verzon, etc... and back again..... now it works...... with the fix this guy posted......QPST ip info fom the fix page, links all seem to work!
Again********THIS STILL WORKS PEOPLE
XV6900 CAME STOCK ABOUT A WEEK AGO!!!
No GPS in Google maps
I have done the aGPS mod on my XV6900.... I did it on my previous 6900 without a problem at all...
I am running WM6.1 from NSFAN v1.15 and I get locks on Sats with GPS viewer but nothing with google...
anyone have any ideas on troubleshooting or tips?
Hi, one question I can't seem to find the answer too. When doing the fix, I get to Step 6, only have one COM listed, how do I :
(You will have to do this once for each of the two USB ports. In my case, I had to manually add the port, and no ports appeared in the list to be added. I just added the ports listed in device manager and Vista's add new hardware wizard.)
I need help walking through adding a Com with XP on my PC...
I had a simular issue that I never got resolved. Fortueately for me I did need to do the fix anyway.
Well the originator of the Post with the fix
He notes that he created two COM's with device manager and a Vista app, XP must have something similar. Hope someone has an answer for me.
still searching for an answer...
It obviously can be done, does anyone know how to add COM port with XP??
I went through the whole process way too many times trying everything to get GPS to work. The final solution to my problem was to follow this Wiki:
1. Flash old Sprint ROM (flashed it 3 times just because) no customizations
2. Flash newer Verizon ROM (flashed it 3 times just because) no customizations
3. Flash NFSFAN V13 ROM
4. Install NFSFAN Verizon provisioning cab
5. Install NFSFAN Telus GPS registry
Prior to installing the Telus GPS registry I was only able to get GPS locks outside and even then it took a damn long time to finally get a lock. Not to mention when I did get a lock it was very weak.
Just like you I tried a million other solutions, including the AGPS instructions you're referring to, with no success. I could never get QPST to see my phone. I had given up hope of ever having AGPS, then I installed the Telus GPS cab. Now I don't know if the Verizon GPS cab will also work, but I had read a bunch of crap saying Verizon is actively stopping AGPS on their end so I decided not to bother with that.
If you have already done the steps I listed above then I would go give the Telus cab a shot. Just while I was typing this I got a 6 satellite lock indoors and in under a minute.
I solved the problem of QPST
There is one edit that needed to be done to get QPTS to see my phone. The other guys are saying that the agpsfix is the one to have.
I will have to figure out who wrote that post and hopefully have him walk me through getting the COM set up...
(This was the most related section to my phone, if I'm wrong please move it and don't delete it. I really need help! lol.)
K I rooted last night, flashed CM7.2
Phone: LG Thrill 4G AT&T flashed to CyanogenMod 7.2
Before you guys tell me to use the search, I have! I've been working on this for 11 hours straight now cause I can't use my phone!
1st Problem: After flashing I had no service. (Yes I used search.) Tried adding APN manually, no luck with many different methods. All the other methods possible required file transfers, which leads me to my 2nd problem.
2nd Problem: My computer will not recognize my phone to transfer files. It will charge however. I tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling them, etc.
BUT right now I have it open! Yes! Now I just want to know the best files and things to do right now before it won't let me transfer files again. I do not know why it is suddenly reading it so I'm counting on it not being able to after I try fixing everything.
If I flash to a new ROM will I get service back? Should I just go back to stock/unroot? I'd prefer to keep it rooted if I can get my service and everything working.
Thank you guys! I know a lot of these question have been answered and I tried finding them, I really did. But I'm so close now that I can actually transfer files and I just need help! Thank you. I appreciate it.
And by the way I can't just backup because when I flashed to CM7 my original backup got deleted, or just hidden deep away somewhere??
