Hi all,
This is an odd one - I have an HTC Diamond (DIAM100) and have run HardSPL and several ROMs with no problems. My Dad has an MDA V (DIAM200) (SIM Unlocked form T-Mobile) and is having problems with HardSPL in order to eventually put the HTC ROM on.
We downloaded the OliNex unsigned HardSPL. He runs the RUU and goes through all the warnings, then the phone goes to black screen and the progress bar dialogue appears on the computer. After a few seconds we get a 202 error complaining that it cannot connect.
I've searched here for an hour or so and as such we've tried...
- using different machine
- using XP and Vista
- usnig direct USB connection and a different USB to the normal one used
- restarted everything
- checked (and unchecked) the advanced network functionality
- run the .net 3.5 update
- tried 1.37 version of HardSPL
- manually running SSPL-Manual on the phone and then the RUU on the PC (although RUU seems to be fine at 'black screening' the phone itself)
- combinations of above
No matter what I try we get the same behaviour. After it fails we simply pull the battery and it starts back up as if it has been soft-reset. Entering bootloader manually we see he is currently on SPL-1.37.0000 if that helps.
Am I missing something??? Is there a problem with the MDA or with DIAM200 devices that my searches are not finding?
Hope you can help - please no RTFMs, I've been searching for hours - Rich
Some Hard SPL's are not compatible with certain devices. Have you tried other HARD SPL's ? I've used both 1.24 and 1.93 without a problem.
Yeah, error [202] is a connection error. Please make sure....
• Go to activesync on pc...
(on XP) File>Connection Settings...and Uncheck the "Allow USB Connections"
Then try flashing Hard SPL again!
If this doesn't solve your problem then just simply try flashing another Hardspl.
i'm using the 1.40 olinex hardspl (dont know if its signed or unsigned i forgot)
its working on my mda compact IV NLD perfectly
Hi all,
We were using the 1.40 originally but no joy. Tried the USB setting too - no joy.
I've downloaded HARDSPL 1.23 and 1.24 which I think I might try next.
Are these gonna be ok over a stock install of 1.37?
R
yes, it will overwrite the bios only.. but always back up data
are you using the RUU provided on here? or the original one...
Hi,
Tried the HardSPL 1.24 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621 - screen did not go black and we got the same 202 error when running the RUU.
***Tried to hard reset the device to see if that helped - but it wouldn't - we get the same as here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406195 meaning there is no internal image I think.*** Forget that - was pressing back button instead of centre button...!
STUMPED!!!
R
Same problem here. Can't install any hardspl(tried all) on my c4 with 1.37 firmware, it was one of the first ones made though, so probably too old to get any of the hardspl's to work/install? Back to T-mobile it goes.
Can they be *too old* - this one was not one of the first off the line, my HTC Diamond is a good 8 months older than my Dad's T-Mob.
Will T-Mob accept a return based on 'HardSPL won't work' - can't see them entertaining the idea myself...
R
What does the HardSPL version have to do with a connection error? A connection error means that something you are doing is not correct.
I predict you will try another HardSPL and do something a tad differently and boom, it will work and you will say that Hardspl only works.
I absolutely agree - but I just cannot figure out what - I'm no amateur either, flashed every HTC phone I've ever had - multiple times. But this one - stuck!

Have you tried going into bootloader manually and then running the customruu?
Sorry for the translate link but check this out:

Yep - tried this and the activesync thing - bootloader is fine - but 202 still occurs....

No, you misunderstand....
The original tmobile rom is absolute rubbish, its slow and buggy etc. If I send the phone to tmobile they will update the rom to a more recent release, which works much better!
As for the connection error, try a different computer again. I had to use 3 pc's before I could update the radio and rom, looking and working great now!

If you go to settings - connections - USB to PC
Uncheck the box Enable advanced network functionality then flash with your chosed hardSPL. It should work every time now!
This is checked as default so if you hard reset you ppc it will return to being checked.

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.
i upgraded to my Jasjar and all went alright until I reset at the end and it want boot past the blue i-mate screen, I have even hard reset and still nothing.
Any help please.....
Or does anyone know how to put old radio or Rom on as it will not boot up so I can't use activesync
Please any help
I have tried doing an upgrade while in the screen where you hard reset it and still nothing, it just sits at the blue boot up screen
Please anyone, Thanks

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.

Hi Guys
I was using Black 2.0 with SPL 1.40.Olipro (HardSPL_v6) and Radio 1.41.00.10 and this afternoon decided to upgrade to Black 2.5 with SPL 2.10.Olipro
Everything worked well, until i got home, where i noticed no matter how hard i tried wifi/wlan would not detect any networks. Did a few searches but decided to go back to my previous config to see if it still worked or if i did any permanent damage to NAND/EEPROM blocks
First i tried Black 2.0 still with SPL 2.10.Olipro and Radio 1.41.00.10 but to no avail.
Next i downgraded SPL to 1.40.Olipro (HardSPL_V6) still with Black 2.0 and Radio 1.41.00.10 then everything worked!!
Immediately after that Black 2.5 went back on still with 1.40.Olipro and Radio 1.41.00.10, the moment WLAN/Wifi was enabled, a window poped up with a "New network detected" prompt.
Those with WLAN problems please try downgrading your SPL to 1.40.Olipro (HardSPL_v6) as i believe 2.10.Olipro may have some bugs?
Please post feedback for those that have tried.
Cheers!
Have you a link to download Hard-SPL V6 ?
I try with V5 and black 2.0 and no wifi start
Well, I am not sure what is posted below is necessary. I have Black 2.5 and SPL 2.10 Olipro (with Radio 1.41). My WiFi works fine ... and I did no special tweaking (other than to install the cingular settings).

Are you getting an IP address from the router? Usually its in the format 192.168.x.y
If you have an IP beginning with 169.x.y.z then make sure DHCP server is enabled on your router's config page. Do a search im sure this has been covered here before somewhere in greater detail.

I've tried everything, including using SNIFI and SOCKET WIFI softwares to connect to my existing netgear router(WEP enable) after upgrade to WM6 Black 2.5 and Radio 1.40 but unable to detect the network . After several hours, the only solution that work is: Turn on WIFI, DELETE existing connection, and add new connection (with WEP key)- and everything works !!!! . Hope this help

So you were able to turn on your wifi but couldn't connect?
.... I am unable to turn on my wifi at all.
I am having no trouble at all with WiFi, see signature for setup details.
Had 1.41 radio first, then upgraded Black 2.5, then SPL 2.10, no reasoning for order that I did it in, just did it as the upgrades were available.
anybody knows how to configure wifi in this version?

Although i dont think order matters, but i did the following which didnt work for me
1. Radio 1.41
2. SPL 2.10
3. Black 2.5
Maybe i should try SPL 2.10 last now that everything is working
Btw did anyone notice a slight decrease in speed/response from Black 2.0 to Black 2.5?
Firstly, thanks.
I have checked it, I can get IP from the router.
I did a Textbook upgraded based on "Mr Vanx" upgrade guide to Black 2.5/1.41.00.10/2.10.Olipro (HardSPL v7)
every thing works perfectly except I can connect to my Netgear wireless router, it detects it and ask for the key, but will not connect.
Not with WPA-WSK or WEP, I have tried everything (removing settings, upgrading router firmware changing from G to B, Hard Reset and not a sausage, it was worked perfectly before the upgrade.
Wififofum2 detects in but failes to recognise the type of security.
I am going to try putting the retail imate back on
I'm on Black 2.5, 1.40 and Wifi turns on, does not detect the network... even with a manual CONNECT through connections
Let it sit a while, with wifi on, 10 minutes maybe, then it decides to pop up Network Detected... truly weird..
Same NO Wifi Issue here too
Running all latest ROMS (see my sig.)
When I turned Wifi, it appears from the device to be working, but it did NOT pick up any signal at all. But...
I DID get Wifi to finally come on, I believe, by turning OFF my Cellular signal in the Connections app, and then turning on Wifi. I think it took a couple of mins to popup, saying my ssid was found at that point.
If anyone finds a real solution, please post!
Hi guys,
I've been reading the forum long time and this is my first post.
My phone is Softbank X01HK and I am currently running Black 2.5 with the buzzing cap, SPL-2.10-Oilpro and Radio 1.38.00.11. My phone works well on Wifi, HSDPA, GPRS-EDGE and GRPS. I have 2 phone numbers with 2 different provider in Hong Kong, Hutchison 3-HK and Peoples.
I used to have SPL-1.40-Oilpro and until yesterday I flashed to SPL-2.10-Oilpro. Surprisingly but weird, I have found my 3G reception at home gets 1 to 2 bar better right after I have SPL-2.10-Oilpro installed. It is so weird cuz I thought the boot loader has nothing to do with the 3G reception, also, everything else still works without any noticeable different.
I was planned to upgrade my Radio Rom to 1.40, but I think I'll stick with 1.38.00.11 for while.
Hope this help

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

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.
Hi,
When i first got my BA, i upgraded from WM2003 to WM6.
This worked ok for everything (A few glitches here and there but i could live with them), but then, my phone battery had ran out, i charged it and loaded it up again and it now shows No Service on the today screen, so I can't make any calls off it.
I also noticed that when the phone boots it shows No GSM where it used to have 2 different numbers.
I've tried reflashing it to WM5, and also to WM6.1 but both of these didn't seem to fix it. The WM6.1 version I used can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=390862
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks!
Yes, fix is quick and easy and you can do it even at home: a soft reset.
Hi,
thanks for your reply,
I have tried soft and hard resets but this doesnt seem to fix it.
I wanted to try upgrading my Radio rom but when I ran the updater I got error 114. I'm not too sure what this means though?
Thanks!
Solution against "No Service" issue
Have a lot of Siemens SX66's. Just took one and ran unlocker, then flashed WM 6.0 and upgraded radio to 1.15.00. After that inserted SIM card and saw permanent "no service" message. Tried HR few times for no avail. Here's what really helped: I ran universal unlocker once again and then did soft reset. Voila! System booted and connected to GSM network. Hope somebody will find this useful.
Hi, All!
2 Larik007:
Did you have similate trouble with radiorom?
I have analogic problem with my BA (iMATE PDA2K)
At boot screen I see
No GSM
D 6.14 WWE
and boot process stops at this position.
Once my BA was booted up with this trouble, and goes to reboot and all repeats again.
I can't reflash radiorom.
At 61% I have "Error 114: Radiorom upgrade error"
I tried to reflash radioroms from 1.02 to 1.15, but nothing positive.
:-(
Can anybody help me?
No, my problem is because of some kind of error during unlock process, I guess. And your problem appears to be similar to "No GSM" issue of Hermes phones. But it may be repairable unlike Hermes ones...

I have the same "no service" issue. Can you give me a link for this magic universal unlocker
- what is this anyway?
Thanks!

Look for a link under word "this"
i had this problem, heres what i did that made it work,
1.re-insert the battery
2.press the on button
3.press the reset button TWICE
EVERY time you turn it off and on do this, but if you reset the phone you dont need to do it twice.
hope this works as it did for me,
Josh.
Partial solution for "No signal" problem
I think the idea was posted by xplode sometime ago- I spent a day playing with it, but it finally worked for me.
0) I had unlocked BA with 2003. Later on I upgraded it to WM 6.1 and then at some point I've got this "No service" issue. I upgraded my Radio to 1.15 (it did not help me- but I did this in the very beginning, so may be it matters)
1) I downgraded ROM to one of 2003 ROMs (xplode has a collection: http://tinyurl.com/cozbbx)
-) downgrade instructions are in here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
2) I unlocked band page for the network connection- it was discussed in (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297099)
2.5) I finally used this cab : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=23788&d=1121269005 to set band selection to 900/1800 (still no service)
3) I removed sim card and did a hard reset followed by soft reset. I put a sim card back and soft reset BA.
--- I guess at this point it's 2003 with 900/1800 band and working
4) I upgraded my ROM to 6.5 and it is working now.
the link is dead.sorry for my bad english i've tried all the procedure but still had no gsm on my xda iis dont have imei and i cant see my radio version can you help me....
Lucky You that I still have troubleshooting tutorial in my file archive. I've written it by myself when was unlocking many of these devices.
Although I'm not sure if it will help with symptoms You listed...
Here it is what you can try to do if your Blueangel PDA phone constantly showing "No Carrier" and it is not possible to enter phone settings:
1. Take off the battery from the phone while it is turned on.
2. Place the battery back in, turn on the phone. At bootup there should be stated "NONE" instead of versions of "R" and "G" (seems that it is required to be so).
3. After OS had boot, run the Unlocker. Few times, maybe.
4. Reboot.
Hi - while trying to install Skype, the entire OS simply crashed. The phone does switches on but no longer finds the OS. Hence, I have no way to get an ActiveSync connection. Is there any way to install a clean O/S onto it?
Thanks in advance,
First step take your time to read the sticky located at the top of forum..
You could try an hard-reset and if all else fails flash stock ROM via bootloader, then update to ROM of choice.
Error 300
Thanks. I did. Particularly the "unbricking instructions post" from ookba.
The issue is that my Dash does not even start up. Hence, there is no way for me to get an active sync connection.
Current Status:
- phone can be started by pressing the Camera key and Power, which shows the red-green-blue screen
- phone can then be connected to the PC via a USB connection. I hear the ba-bing, but the phone does/will not establish an Active Sync (which makes sense)
- downloaded the TMO official ROM from the TMO site which is a WM6. Now, I know my phone did not previously have WM6. It probably had WM5.x but I cannot find the SHIPPED ROM anywhere.
- when I tried the RRU from TMO WM6 ROM, I got through all the way to upgrading. At which point, the mobile screen went to a white/grey with status bar stuck at 0%. But the PC application crashed and gave an error 300.
repeated the same with Kavana's ROM and the same issue.
I am looking through the forums for error 300 but most solutions seems to require an Active Sync connection. Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
have you tried hard reset? thats your best option
like stylez said, find the stock rom that was already on your phone and flash that.
i know you said you cant find it but it'll be online somewhere
look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381726&highlight=official+roms
The key here is that you find your original stock rom, I had the same issue a while ago and took some time to get my stock rom in the web, since the forum didn't have it. I found it in the rapidshare library http://rapidlibrary.com/index.php?q=rapidshare+library, searching under HTC s621 rom. Additionally, have u try method # 3 in the unbricking tutorial? It worked for me.
