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

[Q] suddenly can't see any mobile networks - Baseband "unknown"

SYMPTOM: can't see any mobile networks
BACKGROUND: I've been using htc one x for a month now. Initially on three, but their signal was unusable at home, so sim-unlocked and switched a couple of weeks ago to giffgaff ( a virtual network on top of the UK o2 network).
All has been fine, until today. I sent a few texts & calls in the morning, and mobile data was working. Since then, I can't see any mobile network.
wifi is fine.
Search Networks pops up "Error while searching for networks" and finds none.
No software changes of any sort since last successful call. No changes at all today, at least until I tried to diagnose the problem.
Running stock rom, with the WW update of a couple of weeks ago (1.28.771.9.CL56522 release-keys) -- neither S-OFF nor unlocked bootloader.
Nothing obvious to me in the normal or radio logcat logs.
The only thing I did after the last successful call was to run sensorly to try and map a trip. I've used this before without any problems. It got no connection but I thought nothing of that. I've since uninstalled it just in case it could somehow be interfering with the radio.
THINGS I'VE TRIED:
No, the airplane mode isn't on, and mobile is. I've toggled airplane from settings and power switch, many times
recreated the APN
checked other phones - yes there are a number of networks visible
tried the original o2 sim - same problem
safe mode
cold boot
reboot, reboot, reboot
obviously I haven't pulled the battery...
turned off wifi, in case it was somehow interfering
HTC diagnostic tool
factory reset
confirmed imei is not blocked
Any ideas? Bearing in mind that I'm looking for something which can happen spontaneously.
Interestingly, while writing this I've just noticed that Baseband version shows as Unknown. That worries me - is it possible that my radio partition has spontaneously corrupted itself?
I did speak to 02 support - they said to take it into a shop for warranty repair. I don't want to try a custom ROM just yet -- not when I might have to use the warranty. But is there any way to force it to reinstall the stock rom (preferably not involving windows)?

I have the same problem as well and flashing custom roms did not solve it for me. But for me even the IMEI number is shown as UNKNOWN...I haven't done anything special to get this issue, one day when I woke up the phone could not connect to any network.
I have tried a lot of different methods but with no success. I don't think we can do anything about the baseband without S-OFF.

If a hard reset fails, then it's time to think about returning the unit. Either get a refund or get it replaced.

This may be irrelevant; but I've had this happen to me on my GNexus. I solved it by going back to stock and it just fixed itself overnight.....

my HTC One X did the same after about 2 weeks. Gave it back to supplier, waiting my replacement.
Even tested with a different SIM card, did a hard reset. Problem stayed the same.

Im curious did any of you find a resolution to this? it happened to me a while ago but yet to fing a solution. HTC refuse to fix under warranty because it is unlocked.. i am currently waiting for the next official update to see if that fixes anything but the way things are looking that could be a while..

It sounds like a fault, probably the radio chip has just stopped working, no software is going to repair that. If it was a software problem, there would be hundreds or thousands of people all having the same issue.

SMS Messages Not Sending

I really have tried to avoid posting but I'm really not sure what to attempt next. I've been through a few threads on the XDA as well as trawled Google but I've not really come up to much.
Basically my One X has been fine since I got it up until the last couple of weeks, I'm not entirely sure if that coincided with a software update or any other changes I could have made but I never seemed to have a problem initially.
I've been using GO SMS since I got the phone, but having just re-installed the app to no avail and having just tried the exact message within a 60 second window through the standard messager it still did not send. This has happened in alternative locations too, so it doesn't appear to be signal based on where I am. After the 4th attempt and the message would not send I put my phone into Airplane mode to reactivate the sim, after doing so and turning it off the message sent.. So it might even be network related.. I've no idea! I've removed the sim card and left it for a few minutes to see whether when it's reinserted if there is still a problem, failing that though I am out of ideas!
Just for your reference I am with Vodafone, totally stock phone as it comes out of the box running the updated 1.29.401.11 software
Any help greatly appreciated.

[q] samsung galaxy note 2 serious issue

Hi everyone. I bought a galaxy note 2 from a friend two days ago and now I cant make calls, use 4g data or send/recieve sms, everything else works (including wifi), let me be as clear as possible as to what happened.
I purchased the phone from my friend 2 days ago and it was working fine. its a Telcel (mexico) galaxy note 2 N7100. I tested the device fully and everything was working, I made calls etc and data was wotking also.
I took the phone home and used a soft damp cloth to wipe the battery cover clean, it was greasy and all note I removed the battery cover from the device. Afterwards I replaced the battery cover, connected to my home wifi and then there was a message on my phone "set up software update' which i agreed to .
I then switched my sim card with a different one( it had call credit on it). and upon powering on the phone, i was greeted with a screen with a small padlock and the words "SIMLOCK". i swiped up and bypassed that screen. MY PHONE WAS SHOWING 4 SIGNAL BARS BUT UPON TRYING TO MAKE A CALL OR SEND A TEXT MESSAGE, I keep getting error messages such as "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK".
I have tried every single thing to get rid of this. I even purchased galaxsim unlock from the playstore and it claimed to have removed the simlock but i kept getting that screen with the padlock and simlock message and also no calls or text can be send or recieved. I tred different custom roms, official roms, I tried flashing different kernels, modems etc you name it and still I cant use my phone.
The phone was on android version 4.1.2, now its on the official/rooted 4.3. I read online that samsung may have region locked my phone but this is very strange because my friend was using it for several months. and the issue arised when I took it home. I have never given up on an android device EVER. I have spent days trying and succeeding in unbricking phones but for the first time i actually feel helpless.
I have used so many samsung devices befoe including a galaxy s4 from europe without any problems.
Lasty even when there is no simcard in the phone, THE PHONE IS SHOWING 4 TO 5 SIGNAL BARS ALL THE SAME, IS THIS NORMAL??? also the phone detects the simcard, i can see my contacts etc. The phone can search and detect available networks also but when i try to connect to a network manually it fails to do so, or sometimes it will connect but i still get that message saying network not available.
also the phone only allows emergency calls, but when I try to to dial emergency it says OUT OF SERVICE AREA. Someone please help me if you can

ZF2 551ML SMS sending issues (Vodafone NL)

I seem to have encountered this bug: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79580
551ML, currently running 2.20.40.59. My carrier is Vodafone NL. SMS sends fine when the SIM card is installed in my HTC One M7 running 5.1, or an old Nokia dumbphone I had lying around.
I've attempted to remedy the issue by the means described in various articles online, to no avail. I am able to SMS to people in the Netherlands if I strip the country code out of their phone book entry first. I am also able to SMS to people in the USA with the country code left in. All of my friends in Ireland, however, are feeling terribly ignored since I have to use the IE country code when texting them, and those messages are never delivered. I've just wiped and done a fresh install of the latest ROM, but the issue persists.
Any other Dutchies (or anyone else) here able to corroborate my trouble?
update:
Apparently this issue was supposed to have been resolved in December 2014:

Is it possible that ASUS's codebase is so outdated that we're still contending with bugs that were fixed 9 months ago?
