Restoring Radio? AT&T 8525---Ftp links not connecting - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I'm new here, Just trying to unbrick the radio functions on a AT&T 8525. It supposedly just "happened".
All the links to software in this site seem to be dead. Maybe something new with the site. Not getting to the FTP at all.
It's a Bone stock AT&T 8525. When I press OK/ON/Reset I get
Herm100 IPL-1.03
Herm100 SPL-1.11
When I reset the phone I get.
M 05 R 1.40.30.00
S 04 G 32.73.7020.16H
B 06 D 2.15
I never see the "No GSM"
The operating system boots and I can get internet and do text messages but I cannot get a phone signal, get incoming calls, or make outgoing.
In fact I cannot call up PHONE faceplate or CONTACTS at all. Is this some sort of virus?
I have never tried to flash anything to this phone as far as I know and AT&T could care less about trying to do anything but supply another phone.
As far as I can tell I need as a start.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Hard_SPL/
THE LINK DOES NOT WORK.
and
Some rom to flash at least for the radio.
I'm still using WM 5, would it help to update to WM 6?
Any helpful comments welcome. I don't really have time to learn everything I could know about this device. I've already pissed a whole afternoon away because SHE CAN'T KEEP FROM SCREWING UP ANY DARNED PHONE SHE TOUCHES!

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.

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

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. HELP!!

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.

Error when trying to place call

Hey All,
I switched to the Rogers ROM from T-Mobile and I love how much smoother the system runs.
The only issue is I see, which is occuring more and more frequent is an error when I try and place a call
A screen pops up saying: "Error: Cannot complete the call, The signal may be unavailble or number is invalid. Verify the number or try again later"
It is quite annoying because it happens at random times, like right now.
I never had this issue with the t-mobile rom, so is anyone else having this issue?
D_D
::bump::
Am I really the only person with this problem?
Someone has to know what I'm talking about
You are not alone. I got the same issue. I also have had a big problem syncing to my exchange server. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it does not. I get an erro about the proxy and to contact my system admin person.
The phone not being able to place a call is really annoying though.
that is odd i have t-mobile dash and i have t-mobile service and i flashed my phone with so many roms and never had any prob like that tell me wt u did since u flashed ur phone
I just flashed the from T-mobile WM6 to Roger ROM, and that was it.
The phone and programs all work well, but the error comes up once in a while and requires that I restart the phone.
pretty weird huh?
yeah wt version of rogers rom are you using
CE OS 5.2.1238
Build 17745.0.2.3
Radio Version 4.1.13.47_02.98.90
RIL Version 2.002
i have the same version the way am doing it is am installing the allow ceritifcate from the rogers rom then am unlocking my phone throught jockey's way then i reboot it then i start the app that flashes your phone then after that i open the rogers rom file and then every thing goin on from there and it works fine bt if ur doing the same maybe something is wrong with your phone unless u have been changing any settings in the phone
No, I haven't been fooling around with any of the settings, and I'm pretty competent with messing with settings so I would know when I make a big uh-oh.
I was wondering should I just re-flash the phone.
Also, as anyone made any customizable ROM for the Dash?
yeah if the error comes up alot and it bugs try reflashing your phone if you have done that already and you still got that error try using the htc rom its as fast as the rogers maybe that one will work for you let me know if you need the htc rom

Welcome

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 User!

I have looked EVERYWHERE on here and am a bit confused as to what I need to do.
I have a SPRINT(CDMA?) Diamond Touch or whatever.
Rom Version : 1.09.651.5
Radio Version : 1.00.00F
Hardware Version : 0080
PRL Version : 60671
PRI Version : 1.44_003
Those are the specs. Phone is about 2 years old and I have the $7/month TEP from Sprint anyways.
I installed Android to the internal 4GB SD card last night and it sucks. No data(Need APN settings or something?) The touchscreen was calibrated ok but the screen goes beserk(After a while, and then goes normal later) and starts moving left, right, or up/down and bleeding in from the other side, and then the calibration is totally screwed up. Sound seems to work, and I could MAKE a phonecall but when I called the phone it went to voicemail. I sent and received an SMS, but didn't receive the MMS i sent. So anyways I will just keep it for fun.
Now onto what I really want to do. HOW do I get a custom rom on there? I would like to install like... Fodd Sense or something but there are like 43432 different ROMS.(I want WM 6.5 + Sense(2.1 or 2.5))(Currently have Stock 6.1) Do I need something WITH a radio? I am so confused as I was reading and Fodd Sense doesn't have a Radio? I have read problems with changing to HardSPL or whatever for CDMA users?
I have much experience in iPhone Hacking(TriBoot Jailbroke OS, Android, Ubuntu) so nothing is too hard for me to accomplish. Someone please give me some advice as to the best route to go for a CDMA user.(Also please dont just reply with a link to another part of the forum(Unless it details what to do for SPRINT), I have read for days about different roms, and how to install all of this to your phone, but most of the information is too cryptic as to what exactly you need beforehand, and CDMA vs GSM) Remember this is the SPRINT version, never hacked, only updated from HTC website.
Have you tried this one?
http://www.neopeek.com/en/forum/Android-ROMs/191-CyanogenMod-6025-10-2010V11
Yes I actually followed the instructions and used that one. But the screen is whacko and I am going to have to delete it. No data connection either.
I got WM 6.5 onto my phone using the (1.11.00F? 1.00.11F?) one of those radios for SPRINT. I have tried many roms and none of them seem to get me a data connection.(I even tried one that was built for sprint, had an auto-activator dealio?) I would assume under connection settings I need to enter my PCS Vision username and password yes? Everytime I do I get error 60 or something about it being a wrong username and password or something.(I think its error 60) What do I do here? Is my username and password wrong or is there something special I need to do to get data running? I have even tried carrier cabs, although all they add is a new connection connecting to #777.
