8525 freezes, soft reset, then "No GSM"

Recurring 8525 problem since upgrading to WM6 ROM (AT&T version). The phone will freeze completely (clock doesn't advance, screen and buttons and keyboard don't accept input, display freezes at on or off). When restarted by soft reset, the phone will frequently come back up with no GSM. When that happens, sometimes if I remove the battery and leave the phone off for a few hours then GSM will come back and will work for a while and then lock up again.
When it comes back with GSM service all of the network logon info for GPRS, my Wi-Fi networks with their auth info is gone.
Also email accounts are gone from the account picker and can't be re-created with the same names even though they have completely disappeared. I assume the settings are still in the registry but accounts just aren't showing. One account still shows on the Today screen, but isn't in the account picker.
A hard reset "fixes" things for a while. I've experimented with only installing a few of the most necessary 3rd party apps, without finding any "smoking gun" program that's causing problems. I've also re-seated the SIM card multiple times. I'm thinking it might be a hardware problem.
Today I flashed the radio to 1.54 and it has worked for a couple of hours without needing to be reset.
I'd be interested to hear what possible diagnostic paths I should look at before I call AT&T and begin the rigmarole required by tech support. Anyone with a very similar situation?
Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same problem. I was thinking of going to AT&T to get a new SIM, thinking that was the problem. Any solution yet?

I started having the same problem with mine last week.
Sometimes it locks up, sometimes it gets stuck at the windows logo durring boot, always displays no gsm rom on boot.
Take a look at the how to unbrick thread. no gsm rom msg is one of the types of brick.
I installed hard spl ( already had it actually ). Flashed os, but it didn't help. Flashed GSM and no gsm msg went away. The phone is still acting strangely.

remember, just because the rom came from your carrier DOESNT mean that it doesnt have problems. Alot of people seem to have problems with upgraded rom versions from their carrier and end up either downgrading to previous rom or flashing cooked roms. try the previous rom or another cooked rom and see if that fixes the problem before blaming the hardware. It will save you a major headache trying to troubleshoot something that is working perfectly....
Please remember to do a bit of reading and hard spl your device before going off and bricking your Hermes. 10 minutes of reading might prevent hours, days or weeks of hair pulling, nail biting insanity to find the answer. Cheers.

hello people,
I have my SVP M3100, original from orange spain - but CID unlock to work with portuguese carrier, now I live and work in Hereford UK, and I use a sim from Three and other from Lebara the three sim is to have net on my pc and the lebara sim is to make low cost international call, and i switch many times the sim's to make calls and to have internet, now i have the same problem that you have, i try to upload the HTC original rom that have IPL. BOOTLOADER, SPLASH SCREENS EXTROM GSM, but lock at 12% I try upload ongly radio rom and the same a think that somekind of hardware problem caused by to many sims switch, if any body have one solution please tell me

Sometimes it locks up, sometimes it gets stuck at the windows logo durring boot, always displays no gsm rom on boot."
Same thing happened to me. Tried to reflash original ATT ROM , Radio Only, OS only. Gonna send it for the repair. Phone is not under warranty anymore hope that the price of repair will be less than price of new phone.
BTW, is there any way to remove Hard SPL from the phone?

how much was the price of repair?

Try changing you radio to a new one. i have had the same problems in the past with different radio roms and rom versions. so i am using radio 1.54.30.10 with pdavet roms and have had no isuue.

I've got exact the same symtoms. No GSM, network and auth settings gone, opera registration lost etc. It started a few days a go, in the beginning I had a working GSM most of the time, but it became less and less and now it doesn't have service at all anymore.
Currently device information shows:
ROM version: K's Rom v1.21
ROM date: 10/03/07
Radio version: NONE
Protocol version: NONE
Model No.: HERM300
IMEI: <empty>
Does anyone know a permanent solution?

I have the SAME PROBLEM!
I was about to get radio to work 3 days ago, and now the radio says none.
it's like the radio removed itself.
ok this doesn't make sense, I used the hima rom to remove the radio.
and now the radio is back! wtf?

Hm I tried everything but I can't seem to reflash the radio. About every version I try hangs at 0%. Sometimes when I flash from SD card it hangs at arount 10%.
Tried different SPL versions as well
Damn you radio!!!

BTW, I have no idea what they did to my phone there, but after returning from the AT&T Repair center the Call timer was zeroed and Device ID is now different from what it was before in Skyscape software

Any solutions yet? Im having the same issues.

The reason why Active Sync restarts
For many people the Workaround "not a hack or registry at all" does not work is because of a event based notification that runs the program anytime the time changes. Since your phone updates from the cell tower, it updates the time alot even if by mere seconds well this update runs activesync. Get yourself MemMaid
run it in advanced mode then Jump to Databases then select Notification Queue you will see a list of 3 types of Queues; Time Based, Classic Time Based, and Event based. Go to the event based queue, you should see at the end of this list 3 listing for repllog.exe with the active sync icon. Click on them individualy and read what shows up in the window below put a check mark next to the listing that describes the event as "apprunaftertimechange" it is normaly the last one on list
Also make sure there is no repllog.exe listed in any other queue for a time based event. Leave the other instances of repllog.exe since you still want your device to sync when its connected to the computer. Once you select all events that desribe running repllog.exe after a time change or at a certian time and date press the delete button.
This worked for me on my 8125 and the tilt and if i would of figured this out before i had ATT replace my 8525 i probably would of not got the tilt but lol they gave me tilt free cause all the problems i had with 8525.
let me know if this works for you guys that still see activesync running after the fake server WORKAROUND.
This should work
memmaid is not free but i think its free to try and if all you do with it is fix this problem then great or find a way to register it cause it does help has cool tricks and tweaks

Wow, still no real fixes for this problem, bummer

running memmaid work
running memmaid works and fixes the random start of activesync and once the random start of activesync is fixed the device will not lock up because of activesync this not to say if some other program you may have installed locking you up as well

GSM not working anymore, stuck in emergency mode

Hello all,
my Defy is stuck in emergency mode and can't find my carrier anymore (o2). Details:
- only emergency calls possible, no network found
- another mobile in my house gets outstanding connection (o2 aswell), when switching SIMs, it's still my Defy not getting a connection
- wiping the Defy has not changed anything, even with stock settings all I see is the red cross (put my settings back with clockwork recovery)
- an hour or two before this happened I was listening to music with my headphones, but between taking the headphones out and GSM failing I was sending texts
- When doing a search for other carriers I can see some (though not reliably), but not mine
- I bought my Defy via Amazon, so no SIMlock, obviously.
- WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS are all working fine, so they probably have different antennae
- I rooted my Defy, but this was over a month ago, and it was working fine. I also did not install apps or update some existing ones before this happened. I also did not reboot. It just happened. Put it in my pocket and next time I got it out there was the red cross.
In Phone Info -> Status it says under signal strength "-111 dBm 1APU". It all looks like the antenna is broken, but I didn't hit it, drop it, put it into water or hurt it in any way before this happened or the 3-4 days before. So I'm really lost here.
Anyone? Thanks in advance.

Hi. Have the defy for about a month now. Same issue since first day. Dont know whats wrong. Found out that after 4-5 reboots its ok and lasts till next reboot/switch off. So try turn it on/off 4-5 time or just download a quick reboot app and do the same to see what happens. If aneyone has any idea on how to fix this?

i get this all the time when i flash my defy thru any other rom......and thus roll back every time to stock (indian) rom.....
try flashing your phone with any compatible rom....new radios might get ure phone working

Same problem here. First time today, spontaneous, after a month of use my Defy, non rooted, never unlocked, standard noMOTOBLUR, just like as it was bought from store. Moto_Versiuo.2.34.1.MB525.Retail.en.SEA
None of these worked to restablish the radio connection: succesive reboot, manual/automatic network search and choose, succesive airplane on/off. I didn't check the signal parameters.
I thought that the SIM just burned, removed and try it on another phone and everything was OK. When put it back in Defy, the network connection was established.
The experience was very strange and my final verdict was that the SIM just moved a little from its initial position.
BUT now I realize the problem is more complex and I don't know what caused it !

I have also noticed that the sim card slot gives a little more space for the simcard to move (at least on my defy). Might be a prob with the sim card being old or something (mine is from 2005). For now i'll just try to keep my phone on (seems i finally found stable settings for setvsel, so no more unexpected reboots).
An answer from motorola's official support forum is just remove the simcard and clean it with some cloth...

This is definitely a sim slot/card problem. If bought from amazon they will oblige to change it without any money. I did the same but not for this problem.
If you think there is some problem with software, which is unlikely then flash an sbf and see if things are fine.
To begin with flash chinese froyo sbf. It is downgradable to any previous firmware you were using and very flexible.
Hope this can solve your problem. Get back on what the result is.

Same here...
My defy got network yesterday at 07pm til mid-night.
before, since 16 (11pm) til 19 (7pm) before it function again.
and now, its bloked.
i rooted my cell one month ago, then, probably thats not the fault of z4root.
Sorry about my badass english, i still in upgrade mode.
any idea about it guys ?
thnx

Problem solved replacing sim card with a new.

[Problem] No network/signal

Hi
Just got my new Samsung Galaxy Nexus today, but it cant find a network and have no signal.
I have tried to search for network in settings, but it comes up empty.
In the "about phone" page under signal it says -113db and 0 asu (varies a little bit, but not much)
I'm in Norway using OneCall, on the Telenor network, but the phone cant find any network.
The simcard works fine in other android devices.
The phone was sold as unlocked/simfree.
It says "onecall" on the bottom of the notification bar when I pull it down.
There are also apn settings for my simcard (looks like they are read from the simcard)
Wifi works great, and I can't see any other problems than that it cant find a network, but that is kind of a big problem since it is a phone!
I have rebooted multiple times, three factory resets, and tried with another simcard, but no luck.
Anyone have a idea what to try? should I try a custom rom? or do you think its a hardware problem?

I just saw "Telenor" when I searched for networks, but when I tried to connect it said it couldn't connect, and now I cant find it again.
Seems like I just have the worst possible antenna! (or radio?)

What type of phone did you have previously? Maybe you need an updated SIM card?

A new SIM card has solved this type of issue for quite a few people so give it a shot!

But it works in other phones like the HTC Desire and the old Hero.
I just drove into town, and I got a few bars, could make phone calls and so on.
But back home it still cant find a network.
Which leaves me to believe that the antenna (or the radio) is bad.
Do I have to root it and install a custom recovery to install the stock rom again?
Or is there a "rescue" solution? like on HTC devices.

Works fine here. Test a custom rom or another radio or something.. If it not works go back to stock and return it. I bought a HTC once with a bad antenna.

same problem
what did you end up doing kjetil84? I have the same problem. at home I have like no signal, but other places I have a litle. I use Talkmore witch also uses telenor.
an update would be great

That happened to me once before, try doing a factory reset.

still a problem
Just tried a factory reset, and it did not help
I love the phone, but at this time its not usable for me

HTC Repair with unlocked bootloader

Hi All,
any of you had any problems getting HTC to repair issues with unlocked bootloaders? My phone is literally under two weeks old, unlocked bootloader (because I can't resist :-( )
Basically the wifi is consistently 'restarting' itself for some reason - I'll be browsing and randomly it'll tell me the wifi is off, then turn itself back on again. I can verify this with the program 'wifi analyzer', it'll work just fine and then intermittently just drop out. Also the wifi icon disappears from the status bar, and will reappear.
I have flashed back to stock kernel and rom with exactly the same issue - I thought it was my home wifi at first (otherwise I wouldn't have unlocked!), but have verified it in my workplace too.
HTC are asking me to send it back, but I'm wondering how likely it is they say I broke it with a custom ROM =-/

There are loads of threads for this.
It's luck of the draw, really.

I thought that might be the case :-( Ugh, slightly frustrating, but I suppose that's what I get for unlocking. I wonder if Vodafone would be any more forgiving...

Install latest firmware and check if the exists or not. Last solution is service center..
Sent from Gt-I9082

Your firmware version is old. The problem will disappear after system update.

Which ROM I can flash to have polish language? May it be XXAME1 from BLG, EUR or SEB?

Some answers? Please

I did not wait for answers, I did it, flashed rom XXAME1 EUR and since last night there is no restart (for now)

May be it restarts because you phone gets heated up.

No, I have no root. Now I have the newest stock XEO ROM but this problem still repeat but occasionally. I observe one thing. My phone still works with 2 SIM card:
1. 3G internet only (Aero2.pl)
2. 2G talks, SMS, MMS (T-mobile.pl)
Always, when I hear starting sound and I get phone it was hot on the rear panel (see below)

and I don't know why. For few days phone works only with one SIM card in first slot (3G T-mobile, card 2 is off) and no offs or restarts. Maybe when phone works with two cards I must unmark in Settings->SIMcard menaging-> recieve calls by other simcard when data are used"?

There is absolutely no waya phone restarts becausee of usins sim 2
Try enabling 'do not keep activities' and 'limit background processes' to 'no background processes' in devoloper options.
also clear RAM often by holding the home button and click the 1st button and go to ram no click clear.

solution
Did you find a solution? I have the same problem. If you could write in prv in Polish...

Now I have ME1 ROM and restarts are sometimes, not so many as earlier, but happens. Indeed - it restarts when the phone is hot. Maybe it happens when the phone is synchronizing data? I am nor sure. But it is not burdensome just now. After some weeks (months?) I can tell that this phone is not top of my dreams (my last was SGS II), but I can't found at this moment nothing better then this one, which works with two SIM cards and WCDMA 900Mhz (AERO2 - 3G internet mobile operator works in that frequency for free in Poland). Few weeks earlier I have used ZTE V970 - it was good phone, but not so good like SGGD though some drawbacks.

Same Issue but I don't see how to implement the suggestions being an end-user
I have the same problem (random reboot) but cannot see developer options anymore (I saw it in the past but it seems Samsung locked it, i don't know).
I notice it happens more when I am driving and using Waze or playing music thru Bluetooth in the car speaker. Maybe it gets hot but I am not sure. But my concern is many of the suggestions I cannot implement bacause I am an end user that has not many tools or skills to play with the phone. I am sure I have the last firmware, but the phone keeps rebooting once or twice every couple of days...
It is annoying and makes me feel like I should have bought a proprietary solution like Apple...

This is the worst brand of smartphones ever... Samsung Galaxy grand should be shut down!!

[Help]
Hello everyone... this is my first time to post here and im also a new member in this forum and for
information about my self is
im just an ordinary man and dont have some knowledge about phones, softwares and etc. ..
im just hoping that there is someone who can help me regarding about my issue so this is what happens.
I have a phone samsung galaxy grand dous GT-i9082 i have this phone for about 3 years but my phone suddenly not working
properly. There is sometimes my phone works when there is simcard and when days pass it suddenly off and it will stock
in the logo Samsung galaxy Grand Duos GT-i9082. when i off my phone and i will remove my simcard it will work properly again
and then days pass it will do the same. at first it is just ok for me in that rotation of my phone but in this month it gets
worse..when i only put one simcard in sim 1 the same will happened on my phone it will on and in seconds it off directly and so on..
but when i put 2 simcards it will
work properly again and days pass my phone same as always..
i tried the method of factory data reset many times but my phone is still the same. last week im thinking that maybe my phone is outdated
for not upgrading it so i came up my mind to watch a tutorial on how to upgrade my phone jellybean to kitkat. i just flash a new ROM and follow
the steps in the tutorial but the files which is in the tutorial is not working everytime im doing the steps and other files
which website he gave is in error..so i download
another files related to my phone not just 1 but 3 files for my phone just to make sure which one is working.. and last night it work!
my phone got upgraded i got it to explore it for about 30 mins.. but so sad after that it off and it is still the same as always with sim
and without sim
... sorry for my bad english guys.. if there is someone
who can fix my issue im gladly to thanks a lot for your help have a good day everyone!

I too had this problem. It is probably your battery. Change it. Your battery is probably degraded. It cant support the power requirement of mobile hence the mobile shuts down.

Change your battery.
