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..

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.
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
Is there any reason that the reg. When sending a message does not see the correct number is in place?Or is there away to make the reg point that it is there?Thank You
My phone acts like the X-VzW-MDN is not even entered.I have been fighting this for days now.Reflashing roms and hard rest,following any tut I can find.I dunno what the deal is.I have even tried installing other Acrosoft builds.All my settings under WspHeader are correct.Have my mms options all correct.I am lost even if I flash a factory VZ rom still same error.I called them got new A-Key made sure my phone account was right talked to 3 techs or what VZ calls techs.This Originator Address error is pissing me off lol.I even went as far as to clear the NV ram and restore it from a old one I had,That I know mms worked on.Something seems werid.Any ideas would be nice I posted a thread on it here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541438
I was going to flash back to V12 but lost the rom boooo.LOL thanks for any help.BTW everything else works but mms.I dunno about gps I never use it anyway.
I have a sprint 6900 running V13 with radio 3.37 on Verizon
Sorry if people think this is a double post but I thought it might need its own thread.
I'm assuming you're trying to make your MMS's work? Assuming you are I have followed these instructions with success on the last several ROM flashes including NFSFAN Win6.5 V13. I have attached the Arcsoft cab that I used after having some problems with the one posted in the NFSFAN 6.5 thread. It could have been user error when I tried NFSFAN's Arcsoft cab, but I figure another option couldn't hurt.
MMS
1. Go to connection settings and select "Manage existing connections"
2. edit the only connection there
3. Name it whatever you want ie "vzw"
4. hit next and enter #777 as the number
5. hit next and put "[email protected]"
and "vzw" as the password
6. hit finish
7. install the attached arcsoft cab
8. do a soft reset.
9. open phmregedit in the start menu
10. navigate to HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcsoftMMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader\X-VzW-MDN
and put your 10 digit phone number for the value
11. wait a min or two and do a soft reset
12. go into messaging select menu and then mms options
13. select the server tab
14. select verizon wireless and change connect via to "the internet",
the other settings should be correct.
15. wait a few min and perform a soft reset once more
16. now mms should work!!!
Every time I've done this procedure my phone number has already been in the X-VzW-MDN spot, but I have always reentered it just because. Also remember to wait a couple minutes before soft resetting after that step.
Edit: I just read your post in the 6.5 thread, this is the solution to your problem. Make sure you uninstall any previous Arcsoft cabs first, then soft reset and THEN follow these directions to the "T".
I have tried that over and over not tring to be rude.LOL I do not think its something I am doing but a stuck reg or something I dunno.Thank you tho I will try it again
OK so I bought a sprint 6900 off a friend switched a vaild esn to it.I have VZW service mms has worked until I flash V13 to it.I called VZW to make sure my account was provisioned right.and get a new A-Key after fighting this error for a few days.I have flashed I dunno how many roms and tried I dunno how many fixes and tuts.I have tried every cab for Acrsoft you can name.I know all info on the phone is correct due to the fact I have entered it in my sleep lol.I erased my NV ram and reinstalled it from a date I know my mms was working.My X-VzW-MDN is correct and connection setting is correct.I wondering if VZW has done something on there end to stop mms on there end after the fact which I dought.When my phone goes to send a mms the icon pops up and flashes a few times and then I get the error.I dunno what else to try being that I have reflashed a factory rom and cleared the NV ram a few time now.My latest setting are V13 on VZW with GC arsoft and followed the Cody bear tut to a T.Still nothing same ol error.My net works just fine and my settings for mms are right and my X-VzW-MDN are there.I am wondering if my phone is not picking u that it has the right phone number in the area.I have no clue as to what to try now.I thank everyone for the help.I am thinking about switching to a toucj pro so if anyone can pm me the full exe for cdma 3.0 or higher that would be great.
these phones suck, my mms will not work for the life of me, switching phones is your best bet these phones are headaches and they really are garbage

That happen to me too, i could the not X-Vzw-MDN but what i found out that one of the arcsoft cabs has it and one does not so i switch from one cab to the other and the other and walla! i found it.Try getting a diff arcsoft cab.
I've also had to reinstall the same GC arcsoft twice to get the X-VZW-MDN to even show up.
it will not show up unless you wait a couple mins after installing and soft reset
i've never had a problem using the directions provided above. always sets MMS up properly.
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!
I picked up a Sprint prepaid HTC 816 recently and decided to flash this rom below
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][CM12.1][5.1.1][VirginMobileUS][A5][single sim][1/1/2016 security]
That one
It installed great, had everything everything working after I added my Sprint APN settings. The phone still displayed it as Virgin Mobile and only 3g seemed to be working. But I was making and receiving calls, text messages and had mobile data.
Fast forward a couple of hours, I installed a custom theme from the Play store, rebooted and ever since then I lost the ability to pickup a network signal and access my APN settings.
If I re-seat the sim and toggle airplane mode it will pickup a network signal and I can regain apn setting access again but it drops within minutes.
Ive reflashed the rom, wiped everything reflashed again, same thing. Any ideas on what has happened?
Thanks and appreciate your time!

Are these the APN codes you used(poster corrected a mistake in green text)? Looks like there is a different APN for prepaid /postpaid.
http://androidforums.com/threads/working-sprint-prepaid-apn-settings.920752/
I indeed use the apn settings in the green from that post. They were working fine until I had a reboot. Then everything went to ****. It wont even let me access the apn settings and when I can its briefly and then I lose signal and apn access.

I had an issue with something on my Virgin mobile 816 a5_chl a while back and a member @wxppro was very knowledgeable about APN settings and their intricacies. He had a MVNO 816 at the time with an APN issue and I bet he could help you with this as that was my best suggestion for a fix and it didn't help you.
See if you can direct him here to this forum so that if he can help out the info is here to help others as well. Good luck.
Not sure how much I can help. APN is a tricky business. If your APN settings disappear after some time, it is generally because the cellular network the phone connects to does not match the APN's MCC/MNC numbers. Or it could be the phone is in 3G mode (CDMA EvDo mode).
You can try these things:
Switch network types, from LTE to 3G, wait a minute, and then back to LTE. APNs do not show up in 3G mode. They only show up in LTE (or global) mode.
When you have the APNs show up, check the parameters are correct, you can do a "Restore to default" and then add the new one following that post.
Hope this helps.
I'm having a similar issue as well (except on virgin mobile)
A month ago I flashed squid's version of CM 13 on my phone and everything was fine for a few days, until I completely lost LTE and access to APNs. I reverted to stock and still was unable to get LTE, although I could get a shaky 3g connection if I changed the network mode to CDMA only. I called virgin mobile and they walked me through the troubleshooting steps and eventually determined it was a network outage (even though two desires in my house belonging to other family members had LTE). I called again after they verified that the network was working again and they were still unable to fix the issue.
Recently, a friend upgraded from a desire to a different phone on a different network, and gave me his old phone. I plugged in my sim card and activated this new phone and I got LTE. Figuring everything was good, I decided to flash squid's ROM once again. The same issue happened, I got LTE for a day or two until it cut out service again. No access to APNs, not even any service in stock or on the official build of CM12 with the APN fix (I can't access APNs there either). I'm out of ideas and would appreciate if anyone had any input on my issues.

I have this same phone a5_chl Virgin Mobile. Did you factory reset your device before flashing back to your stock rom? The other thing is and this is just my opinion not a statement of fact or a knock on the wonderful Bigsupersquid but that 13 CM ROM is nowhere close to being stable enough for me to risk flashing it to my daily driver phone. Just read all the posts and his candid responses. You were basically a beta tester .
I'm not an expert in APN's but if you can't get that fixed your last resort might have to be wiping your system and then flashing or running the executable RUU (rom utility upgrade) file found for our device on HTC/downloads . This is a last resort option and wiping your system will remove your existing firmware so have the correct RUU for your phone downloaded to your computer before attempting a wipe. If it's an exe, which I believe the U.S. Virgin Mobile one is ,you will hook up your phone fully charged in fastboot mode then from your computer run the exe RUU like any other exe executable program and wait. It will reformat all partitions and reinstall pure stock ROM. Hope someone else had an easier fix for your data issues and good luck.
EDIT: you will need your stock recovery flashed back and a relocked bootloader before flashing the RUU but I've read that some have flashed their RUU over a custom recovery with a locked bootloader and it wrote over the custom recovery with the stock recovery. I have never personally tried this just the first way I mentioned and that worked for me.

I did try factory resetting and I am on stock after flashing the RUU. It makes no sense as the RUU should have reset everything. That perplexes me the most

OK then you did get back to stock not from a nandroid backup but from flashing or running exe stock RUU? If that's the case then it replaced everything that might have been changed and your issues shouldn't be related to any APN changes. You also removed and reinserted your sim card as I believe, correct?
EDIT: that perplexes me as well my friend!

I did try factory resetting and I am on stock after flashing the RUU. It makes no sense as the RUU should have reset everything. That perplexes me the most

i posted about my lte issues i had for nearly two weeks, running stock just to verify the data service problem wasn't my rom...
i had to install stock recovery, relock bootloader, download the ruu.exe from htc and extract the .img file in Wine, then rename it onto the sdcard and reboot into hboot so it'd flash. neither Wine nor virtualbox xp talk correctly to any of my phones over usb. and i wasn't about to native install Windoze.
factory reset stock didn't fix it, even trying activation, update profile, etc.
i learned i could get 3g data but switching to lte instead of cdma shut down data entirely.
virgin eventually directly escalated me to tier 2 tech support in my last call, they sent a couple service programming pushes to the phone that got my lte back online.
i tried the various service programming menu options repeatedly, with no results but the prl updated once; but the trigger to fix my lte seemed to come from upstream.
i tried various apns, in cm12, cm13, and stock lollipop. rebuilt init_a5.cpp with different mccmnc and adjusted apns. i really tried most tricks in the book plus a few more.
as far as alpha testing goes, at this point I'm just sharing something cool... i always enjoyed flashing latest greatest on my ov way before i was building.
not too many actual logs to really bug report for either rom.

Some of that was over my head but happily not all of it. Basically what your saying is the fix needs to come from the carrier and it's a reset issue on their end not a custom rom issue? By the way I'm a big fan of your work. Hell I might be on one of your older ROMs right now I've flashed so many I forget. Thanks for the education.

The first time it happened, I flashed back to stock using the RUU.exe. I tried again but the second time I took out the SIM card before running the program, I still can't get LTE.

It does sound a lot like a carrier/account issue as I managed to kill 2 different 816s. I don't think it's the SIM card itself because I put it into a 3rd phone and got LTE, although since it was someone else's phone, I didn' t bother activating it.
I guess you got lucky with support, I tried talking to them and they tried the same thing with me. Although all I got was excuses saying they're logging a ticket with their "network engineers" and to call back in a few days. This continued on for a few weeks until they determined I needed a new phone, which I was also bounced around for another few weeks (I still don't have it).
I'm just completely lost now. I'm almost certain it's my account and it needs to be reset, but I can't get a tech who can help me. How did you manage to get someone in tier 2?

This is starting to scare me as well because I'm thinking of going back to stock once Marshmallow gets pushed to our phone to get my beats drivers back and this is making me think twice. Sorry your having so much trouble.

seemed that way.
i took radio logs before and after it worked, and worked only on 3g, and it looked to me like the sim card responded differently to the ril after things were running right again.
mine might've been a special case, though, it came from ebay with no sim, and virgin had to go to a little effort to get it programmed when i installed the sim initially.
they also claimed for several days that the local Sprint tower was down for lte service.

tier 2 takes luck, time, many calls, and eventually you learn the answers to all the questions tier 1 outsourced from India asks so you can feed it to them so fast they want to shuffle you along. takes a couple of weeks to over a month to get to tier 2 and sometimes they have to be involved multiple times as well.
I've been dealing with virgin since 2009... replaced only two phones, eventually got the rest of the issues hammered out with persistence.
for a little while, twice, i had direct toll free numbers to American tier two even because my issues were so hard to solve. it didn't take too long for those numbers to be disconnected, though.
