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)

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.

Still no fix for GSM problems?

Well iv tried just about every method that has been posted. Still getting the no GSM message at boot up. I have to HR a few times to get the phone to pick up a signal. It will work for a few minutes of talk time then freeze up and again with the no GSM. Iv tried the methods listed in the various threads and it still does this even with the standard At&t rom. Anyone have any ideas or is it time to send it in to At&t or just buy a new phone?

I did send it to AT&T and got it back fixed. It is a bad time to buy a new phone. Raphael (TyTN III) is not out yet.

May be bad radio rom or you have interrupt the process of updating. If it is fixed then keep the radio that is installed and don't upgrade or try for better Radio ROM. Always check the package of rom before ROM upgrading.
Need a hint. Try to search for NBHExtract TOOL

HELP!! flashed ROM now phone has no service

I just flashed to a new ROM and now my phone is not picking up any networks. Its stuck with the ! mark on top, is my SIM card locked? any ideas on what I can do to change this? help is much appreciated guys, thanks

Maybe you need to enter your PIN or configure the network settings? Go to Start - Settings - Connections and start the Connection Setup. Restart.

thanks for the response, but i have already tried this and the problem still exists. I flashed to Duttys 3.1 Final ROM and am using radio version .03, have also used .05 but no luck with that either. It seems as though my phone is not even reading my SIM card. I called T mobile and they said that their network was fine and it just might be a problem with my phone. I have looked around the forums and havent seen anybody else with this type of problem.

Flash to your stock shipped rom w/radio, hard reset, then flash back to your cooked rom and radio of choice, hard reset.

thanks, ill try that. i have hard SPL unsigned 1.93, will that make a difference when flashing back to my stock ROM? My stock was 1.34 or 1.35. Also, you list that your devise is SIM/Security Unlocked, is that already built in the phone or did you have to do that yourself? And how is your radio when you say its best for the Bay, I say this because I am from San Jose Cali and was wondering which radio version to get.

okay well that didnt work, i cant tell you how many time i flashed my phone so far, im startin to just give up and now thinkin the best way to just break my phone. well i put my SIM in my old N95 and it picks up a network, so do you think my diamond just locked my SIM card which is why its not finding any t mobile network? or could there be a problem with the antenna in the phone? please help me out guys, im getting desperate!!

out of interest, what ROM was it ?

Duttys 3.1 Final, and radio .16 i have tried radio's .03, .05, .08 so that cant be the problem. I have looked around in Duttys thread and found a few people reporting the same problem but there were no solutions that i came across to fixing it

In the band settings did you choose AUTO? Did you enable HSDPA in Connections?

Had the samw problem, just goto Settings > Phone, under band tab change the settings there. If its auto, choose gsm and so on..

That's a little worrying for me - I'm using his V3 ROM, although with the BS14 radio, and as you say there are a few people with the same problem.

ya i just found the issue to my problem, i lose the signal to the network when i unplug my phone from my charger but it finds the signal when i plug it in. not sure why it does that, hopefully somebody can come up with a solution to this

Same ! Problem

Hi Guys,
I've got the same problem. Changing band doesnt seem to fix it. Anyone know what causes it?

I've got same problem too.i've tried flashing with several roms and radio and couldn't sove it.
heeeeeeeelp please

Have you guys flashed with the SIM card out or in? Back when I had my Kaiser flashing to a shipped ROM with the SIM card out used to work. Then I would hard reset. After that put back in the SIM and it would find signal again.

tried this too.don't fixed anything.

ya everytime I flashed my phone, I cant even count how many times now since i got it, I have always left the SIM card in my phone. I have never had any problems with it tying to find a network before. It started acting all weird on me right when I flashed it to 1.93. I think that somehow screwed up the antenna or radio inside that is irreversible no matter what you try. I have tried almost every piece of advise that people have said on this forum with no luck, im getting tempted to just give up trying to fix it myself and send it in for repairs.

Did you solve the problem? My phone had the same, it is coming back tomorrow or after tomorrow from the reparation...If you want I will let you know what was the problem. By the way, I was using Dutty's ROM too. ONLY OFFICIAL ROMS FROM NOW ON for me...
Good luck!

Please Help !!!

I have just recently got an G4 xda exec, fully unlocked and i have upgraded to TML 8.7.1 and i have also got a 3 sim, but when i put my 3 sim card in the device it says that it is an orange sim
I have tried with my other sim card and that is perfect but it is not a 3g sim so i really want 3g to work
Any Ideas ???

Have you run the Connection Setup? I can't remember if TML871 has built one in his ROM or if it's auto-run. Either way, if you run it again, you should be able to select 3sim instead of orange.

Trying that now, it did have that setting, and i have not tried that one before
EDIT: I have tried to do that, it still says orange and when i go into the connection setup it says error with the database

I have had another look at it and it shows that i am on roming signal, but when i was on wm5 it showed UTMS when i put the sim in, so if it is just my signal or not i do not know
but thanks for the help anyway

ALls I can think is to try a different ROM, and see if it's a problem with Tomal's ROM. It would switch to roaming if it can't find your network and goes through another one (eg Orange). Are you still using the same Radio that you did with WM5? Perhaps you should try another Radio - people seem to like 1.15.

Or... find a .CAB with your network settings and just install by hand. I had some problems with settings provided in various ROMs, so always carry Voda NZ .CAB on my SD. Just in case

i have tried using different settings, so i am now trying a different 6.1 ROM to see if it is a problem with this rom
Thanks for everyone's help

I Have been able to fix the problem, i have used the AllmostOfficial 1.2 Professional rom and I went into the phone options and then network and manually selected 3 off the list in preferred networks and added it onto the list and now it works
Thanks for everyone's help and support as well as the good availability of the site.

[Q] Disconnected because service is unavailable

Guys I am using HTC One X and facing a very frustrating problem. My data connection disconnects after every 10-15 minutes. When I go to the settings option it says ""Disconnected because service is unavailable"".. If I tap it to make it switch off and then tap it again to turn it on, it keeps saying the same thing "Disconnected because service is unavailable". The only method to make the data connection work gain is to
a) Switch to airplane mode, and then switch it back again to normal mode, and data connection would connect
b) Change the network connection mode to WCDMA (as its not available in my region, network goes off) and then turn it back to GSM or WCDMA/GSM (and the network comes back again) and data connects automatically....
I am not the only one facing this problem.. Check out these links too.

Even if you go to google and type "HTC ONE X d" it will show the problem in suggestions too. My HTC One X is not rooted. Its running on JB and stock Sense ROM.
Can anyone help me out ??
1) I have checked other threads before creating this new thread because on other threads people are talking about rooting. I dont have a rooted and phone and I wont root it now.
2) I tried factory reset many times. It doesnt help.
3) I tried other SIM cards too. And face the same problem with other SIMs too.
4) I contacted my service provider too. APN are all correct. I dont face any problem with the same SIM and APN in my other handset (HTC Inc S)

That is very strange indeed.
Did you mess around with the kernels, as that seems to be, very often, messing with the radios.
If not then it might as well be factory error... I would recommend that you try flashing a custom rom like ARHD or if you are not on the WWE version, then you can download the newer WWE rom from the ARHD thread as well.
If that doesn't help, well then, you might wanna consider bringing it to a repair shop.

ok.. i installed a custom ROM (AOSP) and the problem disappeared. But i didnt liked the ROM so i came to Sense based ROM (ViperX) and the problem started again. So it seems that there is no problem with the phone itself. It shows this problem when running sense rom. Any help ??

Try ARHD
