NO GSM problem! any solution?

Hi All,
I am facing the dreaded 'No GSM' error and unable to flash radio rom problem.
tried to flash every possible rom including original O2 one. All failed on radio ram flash.
Went through various threads and there seems to be no solution yet for universal (though there seems to be a solution for Hermes).
So all, please help me if there is some light in the end of this tunnel
regards
Topgun

i have tried all the possible things but no luck so far.....
please help

I just bought a used XDA with this same problem. Thought if i flash it it would work... any suggestions on what I can do? i havent touched it yet. Thanks

has ANYONE been able to solve this problem?!!!! Pls what did u do step by step.... I spent so much money on this %&%$& Phone!!! pulllleeeessssss

I haven't had this problem, however it sounds like you phone may be SIM locked? If so, you will need to flash it with the native ROM from it;'s origin. If it is SIM and CID locked, it will only take the OEM signed ROM.
Quote from POF (Moderator)
"Not in 100% of the cases... there are some situations where the radio bootloader is intact, but the radio is screwed, this causes all bootloader commands that require radio seclevel to be queried to hang the device (like 'task 32' or 'info 2'), thus not being able to flash it with the usual RUUs.
If this happens, it can easily be fixed with hermflasher by flashing the raw radio without prior authenticating to bootloader."
If this is of any help. It is from a thread on CID Unlocking RUU for Uni

Thanks.
i have been through that thread.
well the question on that is 'Is hermflasher okay to flash Universal as well'?

Where is this thread? i can try it.... but cant find the thread on cid unlocking ruu for universal in mermes section....

lucky you, I tried that same WM6 ROM (with radio 1.18) and still same problem. I've tried falshing with 2 different desktops and a laptop. Still same problem! Topgun, did u have active sinc installed ? was the PC u used fresh? (no apps installed). do u think if i format my PC it could flash the radio? DID u flash radio only? or the whole laurentious v3 WM6 package (that is at the same time)?
Pls reply

well it was a laptop dell to be precise.
it was never used for window mobile usage previously and hence fresh Active sync 4.5 was installed.
only radio rom 1st (using the RUU check bypassing)......
once succesful, then laurentiius rom was tried.
one more thing i had entered bootloader manually after disabling AS 4.5
i used the original USB cable as well
hope this helps....
suggest get hold of some friends "win mobile virgin" pc/laptop.
P.S>- i am not sure but this prob might be somewhat related to COM ports available on your machine.

My HERM Is Running Without Radio (GSM)?!

PLZ help me, while trying to upgrade my HERM I lost the Radio, there is a message (No GSM) appearing during the boot.
I've tried many unofficial ROMs, but still getting the same message!!!
And when I tried to use the official ROM, the upgrade stopped on 11%!!??
To solve the hangup problem, I used unofficial ROM again, and after the upgrade I found the same GSM problem again.

What "official" ROM? You've given absolutely NO info regarding anything friend...
Myself, I'd click the green link in my signature... but that's me

My problem is clear, there is No GSM in my HERM, I've tried WM 5, WM 6 and WM 6.1, but no way, I couldn't success??!!
Kindly, advice if you have any solution or ask for a specific info.

Yes your problem is clear, you have no GSM. I don't know where you hail from, which exact PDA you have, your provider, what ROM you last used before this happened, etc..

Fine,,,
Device: at&t 8525
ROM: Original WM5 ROM, and while trying to upgrade it my device hanged up on the colored screen. To fix that, I've installed schap's 4.31 WM6 ROM using the MicroSD Card (HERMIMG). Now the device can boot but with No GSM at all (even there's no information about the GSM under Device Info).
The device now can accept any modified ROM (like schap's, faria, etc...) but unable to accept the official (original) ROMs. When I try to install any official ROM the upgrade process will stack on 11% every time.
So, the device still having no GSM.
Thank You....

FirasKB,
Most roms on her DO NOT come with a radio included. Usually only the manufacturer roms do.
There are 2 things you need to do:
- Consult the MrVanx guides which will help you understand what you are doing (google search for this).
- go to the wiki in this forum and search for a radio rom to upload.
In summary, reflash, say, Scahps rom then flash a radio rom from the wiki (I suggest radio 1.47, which is pretty reliable).
Hope this helps.

Ahhh, a little info.
First download the official AT&T 3.62 ROM which includes the 1.54.07.00 radio.
Reboot the pc with the PDA disconnected.
(Oh, make sure that you have ActiveSync 4.5 insttalled of course)
Put the device into bootloader mode (hold power and OK button while pressing reset with stylus, nice tri color screen will appear)
Connect the PDA to the USB cable and run the RUU_Inside.exe file.
wacky.banana is correct, most chef's don't include a radio. You've got a corrupted ROM (due to the incomplete flash) The RUU_Inside.exe will typically talk directly to the hardware when nothing else can and fix. I've personally recovered around 10 or so 8525's that I've "bricked" with bad flashes and then repaired with this method.
I can't guarantee that this will work but it IS your best shot friend.
Good luck!

Thanks to your support friends,,
I've done as you mentioned, but the upgrade process stopped on 11% again and couldn't complete!!?? (the message ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR appeared on my P.C)!!??
Kindly, advice...

I can't remeber what error 262 is about; however is your device unlocked? If it is not then you need to address that issue first (its in the wiki)
Secondly have you installed hard spl to your device BEFORE attempting to upgrade your rom? If the answer to this question is no then that will confirm that you have not read up on this before jumping in, which is hugely dangerous.

Stuck.... completely stuck
My fiances phone is stuck in the tri color bootloader screen. I am in the US and i have tried everything from flashing the original RUU to a hard reset and everthing, but nothing seems to work. the IPL is 4. 10. 0002 and the SPL is 4. 10. 0000. Can someone please help me. I know there has to be a way to fix this.

I had the same problem. After trying to fix it myself for about a week I gave up and sent it to AT&T Repair center. Got it back functional.
I haven't tried the Himalaya ROM method, though.

Thanks again to your support,
The problem happened when I tried to unlock the device to upgrade it (it was fine befor), I don't know whether it was already locked or not, but usualy when I buy any Pocket P.C I'm preparing to unlock it first (I've done that many times on HERMES before, but this is the first time I'm facing such problem!!). So, while unlocking the device it's stucked on the tri color screen.
I've done many things after that to solve the problem (updating the hard SPL to v2.10 successfully, flashing many ROMs -not including Radio- successfully).
So, I can flash any ROM now but it must be without Radio, otherwise the flashing process will stuck on 11%.

try reading the wiki:

More than 2 days and I couldn't success to bring the Radio back??!! I think I've really lost my device.

FirasKB,
What steps exactly have you taken to solve the problem? Try and outline them here; that will help people on here to identify what else you need to do to bring the device back to life.

wacky.banana,
As I wrote above, my problem still not solved and my device still running with (No GSM).
I've done the following:
- Updating the ROM (O.S only as the device not accepting any Radio ROM)
- Updating the SPL to Version 7.
- Trying to update the radio (separately) but I didn't success??!!
It seems there is no solution to fix this problem???!!!

Error Flashing: Unlocked T-Mobile Dash with all possible XDA 6.1 Downloads

Error Flashing: Unlocked T-Mobile Dash with all possible XDA 6.1 Downloads
I run into this same ERROR irrespective of which download I use. Any thoughts?
Image Version: 1.22.531.6
Upgrade To Versions tried with Ricky / Kavana etc Brazil Portuguese etc:
1.33.424.2
1.33.424.2
RESULT:
The phone shows the Red Green Blue Band with little white at bottom screen. Then phone and PC show 3%. Then it goes to the following:
Error [270]: Update Error
The image file is corrupted. Please check your update utility.

Need a little more info
Read the Stickies but you need to application unlock your phone
Probably going to have to put in bootloader mode first reflash to your official Rom then App Unlock then follow 6.1 upgrade guide.

Sim unlock is different than application unlocking

Whatever you do don't click the top one your dash will explode

I get the fundamentals of Simunlock v/s AppUnlock etc.
It was SimUnlocked using Unlock code I had got from T-Mobile.
1. It already has the latest Official ROM version on it (i.e. I tried doing it with the latest T-Mobile) and it shows the version I have is the same.
Do I need to reflash it with the ROM that is aleady present on my DASH? Is it worth trying that?
2. Now the step called AppUnlock? Which tool should I use given that I would have the T-Mobile Carrier 6.1 ROM on it (either already or reflash with T-Mobile 6.1 AGAIN)
3. After AppUnlock should I go for the FLASHing guide? Which one would that be?

if you search hard u can find it
sda unlock then put that file in your phone open it
then reboot
then just install it should be all center buttons if your using rickys rom
that's all

to add what are u talking about tmobile 6.1 there is none available from tmobile 6.1

a. follow EXACTLY what the guide says. download the files it tells you to (and provides links to). thats why i put PICTURES so you wont have to ask. get the app unlocker from the guide....no need to install anything on the phone..just plug it in via activesync and run the app unlock...it will look like the pictures...then reboot and continue the install
b. tmobile has no 6.1 rom.

as tonio94 says, if you can manage to get in to the tri-colored bootloader all you need to do is to flash with a rom that supports your phone... did you remember to hard-spl you phone before all this "mess" or?...

No other tools are required. Just put your device into booloader and connect with pc. The bottom of the screen should read USB. At this stage just follow the instructions that you would normal follow when executing the RUU_exe.
I'm sure you have already done this before but here is a guide ....http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=4

Problem solved, worked to flash like a charm.
thank's
This thread can be closed.

@skero666: i never recalled you as a noob.. i was just trying to give you an easy answer, sorry if i wasn't clear enough.. (^^,) .. and yeah, if you ever manage to get to tri-color bootload then you'll allways be safe... you'll never brick it unless you never manage to get to bootload .. lol

Which ROM?

The only thing I can access on my Dash is the Bootloader. It is the T-Mobile branded Excalibur.
ONBL and SPL say 1.22.0000
Which ROM do I need to flash to get my Dash back?
I have tried the original ROMs and I get ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Update Utility.
I was told by someone having this similar problem that flashing the original ROM fixed it, but I have had no luck so far.
