Welcome
Please READ the Wiki

11-12%
im having the same problem that you are having. i have an htc 6800 and id like some help on what i might be screwing up on. this is my first flash and im not quite how to fix it. it seems like some one might know whats happening to us.
this is my first flash. and this is what i know. i know i have bl 1.20 and which was successfully installed.... then i tried to install a rom. alltel as it was required to flash the phone to cricket. that didn't work so well. about 11-12% my comp made a thinking noise like it was starting to load something then my 6800 flashed red and went back to the red green blue screen... so ive been at it all day and found lots of useful info on the internet learning lots about this phone and flashing procedures. found a place online where it instructed me to "force feed the rom" mind you this wasn't something that would fix my problem just a different way to install the rom. so i used a blank RUU and that for the moment looked like it would work. it to had a communication error but it got to 59% the error code was 260. it asked me to unplug everything and plug everything. i have been at this a while i have tried many configurations and different computers and different usb ports. i don't even have a full drasp on this yet. some one tell me how to fix this or what i did wrong. im interested in somthing i read about that i cant find now about loading the rom by resting the phone and the rom installing from the sd card???? can i do this if my usb is acting up?

New radio rom 1.80.00 found in buzzdev.net

Anybody tried it? Does it solves the bluetooth disconnection problem?
Thanks
Radio 1.08.00
Radio 1.08.00 seems to be for the Himalaya?
yep ! definetely for a himalaya !
I'm halfway through upgrading mine... maybe I should have checked the new posts in here before I started... :? I'll let you know how it turns out!
I had the Country ID error and ran it again. Worked second time.
I guess I can always reflash back to 1.06.00 if it all goes tits up! :lol:
EDIT: Presumably if it's for the Himalaya then WiFi connectivity will be broken once I've done it, since the Himalaya doesn't support WiFi. 30% done. I'll report back soon...

Please let us know, so we could possible proceed as well.
im 88% through flashing, figured wtf 1.06 can go on again
Okay, I've done the upgrade and when I did a soft-reset my machine said
Radio 1.08.00
Protocol 42.41.P8
And I have connected to my wireless network at home and have successfully browsed to the bbc.co.uk homepage, so WiFi works.
I haven't put a SIM in my device yet (still using my old phone).
Why do you guys think it's for the Himalaya?
well it seems to work a treat chaps,
wifi connectec quicker im sure, not long enough for a thorough check but its working!!!
oops i forgot to remove the sd and sim, ahhwell, flashed first time, phew
Okay guys, here's what I've found so far:
WiFi works - connected to my home network and browsed
Bluetooth works - ran TomTom and got a fix
Phone works - Made a few phone calls.
AND... When I rang the Exec it indicated an incoming call the INSTANT I got a dial tone on the house phone and there was no delay before we could hear each other!
This looks like the real deal!
im sure this thing is running alot smoother aswell, so far 1.08 on the Universal is a green light, i dunno where this hymilaya thing has come from, but on buzz's site its in the universal section
Yeah I agree Carnivor. It looks very promising so far and all of the functions appear to work at least as well as before.
Just been syncing successfully with Exchange over WiFi.
Obviously if it starts crashing we'll report back, but nothing bad so far!
About wifi, did you have the need to turn on twice to connect, and is it solved with this radio? Ie: Some universal user can turn on wifi the first time, but if you turn it off (using the pocket pc menu, not by turning off the power), and you turn on again, it won't connect. You would have to turn off then on to connect.

Just reset the device normally and plug in the USB cable.
ActiveSync won't connect, but it will be connected to your PC. Just run the T-Mobile ROM Update program then and everything should be fine
If you still want to upgrade to Radio ROM 1.08.00, then try the tutorial I wrote here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40986
Just follow all the steps for the radio ROM, and in the end throw away the non-radio ROM files before flashing
I'm using this method right now on my Dutch T-Mobile MDA Pro as I also had trouble with the NoID tool
Thanks for helping me.
You said use the T-Mobile Rom, I have a i-Mate Jasjar, is the T-Mobile Rom the only Rom that will fix this problem?

Err, sorry, my bad
I thought you had a T-Mobile logo in your name
No, if you have an I-Mate, use an original I-Mate ROM instead of the T-Mobile one
EDIT:
Actual feedback on this Radio ROM:
the GPRS refused to log in, somehow, although I'm not quite sure this is a problem with the ROM. I'll downgrade to 1.06.00 later and see if the problem persists.
Everything else seems to work just fine
Upgrade Radio 1.08.00
I just upgraded my Universal (OS: TMo 1.20.34) with Radio 1.08.
Everything running like a charm.

Unable to Connect to Phone network!!Please Help

Hello Guys,
Since installing beta 10 of Ivan's rom I am unable to connect to my phone service provider. I tried going back to B9, changing radio versions and installing original rom, nothing works. I have upgraded to B10 B11 And B13...still no luck PLEASE someone give me some help. Not sure WTF is wrong...is there some cab files in extened rom that assisted in finding provider networks?
I have reflashed to ealier rom version, changed the radio version even tried to unlock the phone again....nothing works!
Its been 5 days now without use of my phone...I would really like so help!
Thanks
I couldn't connect my phone when I downgraded to a very old Radio Rom.
(1.00.02 and 1.03.01)
Keep trying a radio rom.
I have tried all the radios I have and none work...its strange because the phone never gave me aby probs before and I have been flashing it it 3 times a month and doing all kinds of tweaks I guess it final caugth up wiith me...Is there any app that I can use to run diagnostic tests on the radio? You guys please HELP!
Thanks
youmeus
Don't know about an application.
Call me crazy, but I've tried 3 different 1.11.00 radio roms and they all gave a different result.
You can always flash back to the latest rom of your provider. And then take it back to the shop.

Help! No text messages / voicemail

Hi everyone
I have used the fanstatic guides & software on this forum to update my Orange SPV M3100 to WM6 successfully (for the second time - had to return my first M3100 due to white screen of death).
However, this time, despite trying every Orange settings CAB I can find, I can't send Text Messages ("Your text message cannot be sent") and my voicemail light is stuck on (even though I have no voicemails) (I have tried the Voicemail fix CAB on the wiki without success).
If anyone can help I'd be really grateful
Goto the link and download the cab to your phone, execute it and soft reset the device, see if it fixes the problem.
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/hermes-black-rom-support/11624-orange-uk-rabdo-v1-6-cab.html
Thanks Starfury. I tried what you suggested, but to no avail. Messages sit in the outbox for a minute or so, then I get the Cannot Send message. Voicemail indicator stuck on too. Have tried hard reset. Not sure what to do next
This always works for me on OrangeUk M3100 with any version of WM6 mate.
Hope it does same for you. Would've thought it will.
Thanks chunkymonkey. I've already tried that one, but I gave it another go....no effect.
I think there is a deeper problem here...
I can see what you are saying regarding the CAB files fixing the problem however I had this problem with my first ever WM6 flash as I only upgraded the ROM not the Radio and was using a really early radio version.
My messages would not send and also when I fixed this my voicemails would get 'stuck' and the voicemail light was always on.
Which ROM are you using? which Radio version etc?
Personally I fixed mine by flashing to black magik and uprading to radio 1.48
Thanks Raven. I'm not sure how to tell to be honest.
I unlocked the phone using "HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlock - v3a"
Then flashed "HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108"
How can I update my Radio? Can you point me in the direction of the right file?
Thanks loads
Hi mate,
Try this, this is a guide to upgrading to radio 1.43, the principle is the same though for all radio versions. Ensure you have HardSPL installed etc.etc.
(read all the guides lol!)
You should be able to find newer radio version on this forum, I use 1.50 at the moment on Orange UK and works a treat
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=61&Itemid=27
Hope this helps
Thanks for the tips Raven. I have successfully flashed to Radio version 1.5 - but there's no change to the problem at all.
I've totally run out of ideas on this one, gonna throw the damn thing out the window its so frustrating!
All I can suggest is flash to another 'cooked' rom.
I'm using black X (RC) at the moment, super fast and just enough apps to keep me going. Having no trouble at all with this rom and radio 1.50.

Same Problem
Hello again,
i have the same problem, i search for a result but now i upgrade the radio, but now i cant flash the radio again, it start to hang at 11%...
I had a similar problem on my Wizard one time.
I ended up fixing it by flashing on of the giant original shipping roms.
The rom includes everything and was the only way I could recover from the corrupt radio flash.
Hope this helps you.
Try testing your radio with other sim (some other operator's sim
is prefereabile, in your region)
hopes must not die. I will work again

these problems are caused be something glitching up in the flash, not the sim
Got the same problem: the radio died without any new flash
If you find a solution, I have some interest too

Try to flash again, i had same errors after i flashed some different ROM`s.
What i remember just right now:
I get a new sim card on thursday since then i have this no GSM error.
Now i`m scared to setup my connection because the device is running.
Had some connection losses but as long its working...
Not really.... i open Programms and scroll down then windows hang.
No UMTS connection i bought it because i want to read my emails, not just to make phone calls .
And to be honestly : to flash around
Still looking for a solution for that no GSM error.
Thank you for your attention.
Same Problem
I got an replacement from At&t because of the white screen effect on the Cingular version.
As soon as I load in the sim it gives me a no gsm message..
so i load up black X rc and the newest att radio and i still get the message..
So finally i hard reset a couple of times and it goes away..
Now the only thing is that the connection reset a lot and even flashing back to the original raido with an downgraded ipl and spl still doesn't solve that. I even got a new sim and no luck.
I even went to the point of simunlocking it and it still doesn't work.
Keep in mind that this is the new att 8525 and the cingular 8525 worked better even it i cudn't see the screen..lol
you guys have tried the file off this page, right?
http://www.america.htc.com/support/8525/software-downloads.html
yea i tried the one off htc's website i get an error about 11% thru, any other ideas because im going crazy i have no gsm no phone service no service period!! HELP!!!
Yes, the latest supported wm5 is the one i had originally.
Any ideas from anyone?
hey..... just for understanding....
ur RADIO ROM version is - 1.16.00.00. Hope you know that this has to be separately updated, and is not included in any of the ROMs available in the cooked format e.g schaps....
may i suggest that you upgrade to one of the latest RADIO ROMs, available here - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
The 1.48 RADIO ROM seems particularly stable all around the world, so go ahead and give it a try - ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Hermes/HERM_Radio_Only_1.48.00.10_CustomRUU.rar
After that, you could choose Schap's latest ROM and upgrade to the same; and check if things work out.
EDIT: I see that you have flashed different radio roms already......
NOOB's ANSWER TO THIS PREDICAMENT: Downgrade to the offficial radio and ROM. And see to it that you restore your SPL i.e., follow the procedures of removing olipro.... and take it to your nearest O2 dealer...
Maybe this helps ?
How about this one:
Flash your ROM radio etc.
Take out the battery for 20 minutes.
Yesterday i flashed the original O2 ROM after it said No GSM again.
I was mad and took out the battery.
In the morning i inserted the battery again and since then no problem.
To test this if its really working i flashed a HTC ROM, after configuration etc. i took out the battery again, waited ~ 20 minutes.
Because it said no GSM again after flashing HTC ROM.
Looks like its working (for me)
Edit
No its not working
The original O2 ROM was working almost perfect just flashomanianing it back ... Hope it will work .
similar problem plz plz help
hey.. i would really appreciate if you guys could help me out with this one (i am a noob =(( )
One perfect night i loose reception and unable to retain it(no gsm). it seems like i cannot find my network (AT&T) i have the AT&T 8525 phone.
when i go to settings>system>device information, my radio field is blank, i persume thats the problem.. i have tried to install some, but none seem to go through completely.. I have installed vp's WM6 + addons ROM, but it is still blank..
It would be great if you could help me out, i really need the phone for my business.
Some info that might be usefull:
i have HERM100
IPL-1.04 (idk if thats needed)
SPL-2.10.Olipro
vp's WM6 works perfect but no GSM
i know that radio rom needs to be upgrade by itself my prob is that there is no radio it doesnt even read the IMEI, but i know it works because on my old Hermes it still works so its the phone, any ideas? i try to upgrade the radio rom, ive read all the forums on how to fix the radio rom only and nothing again it starts gets to like 11% or 12% then error 262.

Flashed WM5 same error = No GSM
Sometimes it shows No R No G
Tested it with 3 different operators sim card.
Setup a complete new OS on my notebook (because i thought a virus maybe and it corrupted the downloaded files).
During the flash process i even dont breathe but no help
Flashed HTC ROM with radio 1.47... interrupted the second update/setup process.
Was ok for 3 hours.
Are we all just beta testers from HTC and MS ?
Im still getting the same issue. Although I unlocked and superCID the deviece I will try to get a warranty exchange on it. It was messing up before I did any of that so I don't think that it should matter. I just want my old Cingular 8525... but i guess i have to keep on trying until I get a good one.
Hi did you ever find a solution to the radio rom flash hanging at 11% i have the same problem I can flash the os but the radio rom always hangs at 11% so nice pda no phone options
Ladies and gentlemen, I had the same problem, and I fixed it. Here's my story.
I was an idiot one night. Pulling my trusty 8525 from my pocket to read a text message, I instead dropped it. On its face. On pavement. From waist height.
I know, I cringed, too.
Ever since then, I got the No GSM error, and radio ROMs refused to flash beyond 11%, except the original factory ship ROM which got as far as 12%. Everything else worked perfectly except the radio.
I took it to one of the IT guys at work who suggested that I may have damaged something on the mainboard, but here's another 8525 you can play with if you want, because it's in the recycle box and will be going out the door to be recycled soon and we won't see any money out of it anyway, so here, it's yours.
Problem was, 8525-b had video issues. SOMETIMES would get the whitescreen. ALWAYS wrapped the bottom ten or fifteen rows of pixels up to the top of the screen. But the phone worked flawlessly.
Then, I discovered that the "video card" is separate from the main circuit board. Therefore, 8525-a had problems with the mainboard, and 8525-b had problems with the videoboard.
The solution presents itself.
Took them both apart, took the mainboard from the 8525-b and installed it into the 8525-a.
My Hermes is back. Everything functions flawlessly, including the radio. And everything flashes, too.
Point of the story: I don't know if you dropped your phone or if maybe something else may have caused some damage, but the only way that I was able to work around the radio rom flash hanging at 11% issue was to replace the mainboard. I got lucky, I was good friends with the IT guy. But I was never able to find another solution.

Need help guys!!

I live in Bangladesh. Recently I visited Malaysia and bought a Dopod 838 Pro from there. I checked it over there and it worked fine. But after getting back, when I tried the mobile with my country's SIM, it gave a error message saying ' your current network 47001 is not supported, please ask your device vendor for an update' and I got a no service problem. In the available networks section my operator (GrameenPhone) isn't listed.I tried almost everything I could, upgraded to SPL v.7, tried different radio versions, tried different ROMs and modified windows mobile versions like Black version, Pays version etc. The best I got was I got a signal for 2-3 mins. During that time I could make and receive phone calls, it worked fine for that short time. But after that 2-3 mins. the signal drops and the phone starts checking for the signal and eventually I get a no service problem. I tried repeatedly but with the same result. This is so frustrating!!!! I love the phone, how can I make it work?? Hey guys, help me out please. Thanks.

Have you tried to SIM unlock it?? Take a look in the upgrading forum...READ READ READ before doing anything else ok?
Try a different more newer SIM card, or maybe a different provider!
Re:
Tried unlocking, different provider, different SIMs, everything I could think of but alas nothing worked. Any other ideas guys??
Still no luck guys!!
Hey guys, I'm still stuck with my problem here, appreciate your help. And I also need the radio ROM version 1.40.30.00 (that's the only radio ROM I couldn't try because when I clicked on the link shown in the forum I got a '550 Failed to change directory' error. Could someone plz re-opload the radio ROM somewhere and send me the link. Thanks.
Phone problems
Make sure you are SIM unlocked and not just Device unlocked. They are two different things. I've heard of some folks having to repeat the process a few times for it to "take". Good luck.
Hmmm... If an IMEI is reported as stolen etc would it cause the phone to work for a couple of minutes and than lose service? This may be something for you to check into. Just my 2 cents.
