Help invalid or missing Sim anyone had this

Hi,
Here is the problem and the options that I have tried...
The phone works for some time, during this time I can receive and make calls. But suddenly it pops with a message "Invalid or Missing sim card. You can still make emergency calls if your service provider permits"
If I switch on the inflight mode and switch this mode off after 2-3 hours, it starts working. But the same message pops up after some time.
Below are the steps that I tried:
1) Upgraded the ROM to v1.13.188 (from O2 site)
2) Upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.0
3) Hard reset and soft reset etc...
How ever after the first upgrade of ROM it worked continusly for 3 days, but now it doesnot work for more than 2-3 hours, back to square one.
I havent tried the sim unlock. I couldnt find the unlock code and process from the link you had mailed.
Hope this will help you in suggesting the next steps to fix the issue.

Hi,
Please let us know the Rom version and radio stack you are using.
Have you tried downgrading back to the WM5 Rom and seeing if the problem persists?
I would guess that it is a dirty/damaged Sim card, have you tried cleaning the contacts on the sim card itself........... you can do this with a pencil rubber.........
Try the steps above and try another sim if u have one available, failing that post back some specific information on your Radio and Rom Versions.
Cheers,

happened to me too (after I dropped my JasJar)
I'm sorry to tell you this but the issue is not your software image.
This is a hardware problem.
I can tell you my JasJar dropped to the floor. phone speaker stopped working (but came back after the 2nd fall).
I then started to rarely get this "invalid SIM" message. I ignored it at first.
but it got more and more frequent until the phone was no longer usable.
I didn't change any firmware during that period. I blame only the crashes.
Something there must have cracked. cleaning the hardware didn't help for me.
I finally gave up and sent it to manufacture labs.

I had same problem and had to send it in and imate replaced the board for me and since it was within warranty it was done for free

ROM: 1.13.82 WWE
ROM Date: 11/30/05
Radio Version: 1.04.02
Protocol Version: 42.37.P8
Extended ROM Version: 1.13.188WWE
How ever after the first upgrade of ROM it worked continusly for 3 days, but now it doesnot work for more than 2-3 hours, back to square one.
and it hasnt been dropped so why would it work for 3 days then start doing this

Help! Unable to Connect to Server?!!

I've been trying to upgrade since yesterday (from PDAVIET .13, which kept losing my email account and crashed iGo.)
Decided to try Bepe's ROM (really like the big key video dialer
Just installed and registered all my apps (over an hour:-( and restarted.
Now I am greeted with:
MainWind.cpp: 148
Unable connect to server
I get the exclamation point (no service,) I cannot register to ATT's network and the phone dialer doesn't come up.
I have an inkling, that it maybe the Network Wizard which I ran, but I might be wrong.
Oh, and after the restart, my email account just disappeared too:-(((
I had a similar problem with the Ultra Light WWE ROM based on Dopod 3.00.707.18. Is there a problem with all of the recent Dopod-based ROMs, or is it me?

I have the official Dopod SEA ROM and have no problems of any kind but I did have to enter the network/MMS settings to connect to the data network and send messages.

I think it is the Network Wizard. I just reinstalled everything again, then entered all the network settings manually. It works fine.
Before, i would get locked out of phone service after a reset or two, with the several Dopod-based ROMs I tried. And it seemed to happen shortly after running the Network Wizard. Updating the radio didn't help.
The only other possibility is that I opened up the Extended ROM with the Hermes utility, but I don't think I did it to all the ROMs.
I still got the disappearing email and network password thing, but tried to follow mUn's suggestion about disconnecting and soft-resetting, so we'll see if it works. Anyone with an answer why it keeps happening?
Frankly, I am a little miffed that these new Dopod ROMs are acting up on me. The old WM6 ROMs from mUn and LVSW were generally rock-solid....

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

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.

Help pls! Can't USPL or upgrade radio or rom anymore

Hi,I have an xda orbit (O2 uk) and I ran the USPL super CID on it which went thru fine. I then did an OS upgrade from the official O2 website to WM6. However my phone wouldnt make calls or accept calls. The signal bars were initially low which made me suspect the radio not being optimum. Tried to upgrade the radio from 3.06.90 to 3.08 or 3.19 but it kept on giving an error 270 - file corruption,tried flashing to another rom and still the same error.I then tried to re -USPL it and even that wont take... Can someone please help me out with this as I am at my wits end to a solution...Thanx a lot

still sweating....
ok...update so far...repeated the flash over and over again, Hard reset and moved the enable and cert rapi to the xda and ran them there first after taking out the sd card. finally it took after a few more atempts. I then ran artemis 20273 rom which flashed easily....HOWEVER even though the signal bars are still up I cant call out or receive calls. Dialling out ,the call disconnects immediately even before it rings (like 0.5secs after i hit the send key). If I call the phone I get a message that calls are not currently being connected to that number! (i know the sim cards working as its my main number) Anyways run uspl again and flash radio to 3.18...goes thru easily but still no calls in and out. Is there anyone with an idea as to the problem or solution.
