Unbricked but No Service?

Ok just recently unbricked my phone and started flashing once again. First I did the HARD SPL change from 2.03 to 2.10 Olipro. I flashed the current vp3G a few times but I was getting no phone service. I flashed the schaps and it did the same. My was getting no service and when I clicked on settings it said this.
Unknown SIM status.
Only emergency calls can be made without a PIN.

Did some googling and found some sources where it said my default PIN was either 1111 or 2222. I went ahead and called ATT and explained to them I was getting no service but of course never mentioned I had a cooked ROM. They said the same that the default was 1111. Of course for some reason when I was talking to them I could not get to the settings to enter it. I told them I would call them back.
Finally got to enter it in and nothing. It is still not working. I'm in some desperate need of suggestions. Thank You.

Flash the OEM ROM from your provider. This should get your service back if your using a legit SIM

i see you have unbricked your phone, try loading up a new radio
http://rapidshare.com/files/60589318/radio1.54.07.00.rar

oh yea, thats the radio im using for my 8525, its the updated version 1.54 it works pretty well, hope that fixes your problem

I have that same problem but it seems that changing the radio does not work, although I havent tried every single radio. Some radios will give say i have no service even when i don't have the sim card in (it should be saying no sim)

This might help
If you are in USA and if you have a CINULAR sim card in your phone go to a AT&T store for a FREE AT&T sim card. It might resolve the issue as AT&T just changed some settings in some towers.

That is how I bricked my phone in the first place. Could not flash OEM either 2.15 or the most recent 3.62 WM6 upgrade.

When I got unbricked I updated my SPL like you mentioned and now I'm running 2.10. I did try to update the radio but that also got locked up and had to hard reset to get it back. I was trying 1.54 also.

No I have not.

More reading and more reading. Ok I realize I have no GSM and no Radio. When I try to install radio it gets stuck on 0% then locks me out. Then I'm stuck in the Tri-Color mode and am forced to reflash ROM. I'm thinking "Problem 5" is the problem I'm having but can anyone confirm or help me out please.
My ATT flash screen says:
R None
G None
D 3.62

That means I have no Radio and GSM correct? What do I do?

warranty?
How far into your warranty are you, assuming you're still under warranty? Same thing happened to me. I played stupid with AT&T tech support (then Cingular), had no distinguishable drop marks or water damage, and they replaced it under warranty I even had it stuck on the bootloader screen If you're still under warranty, try to load an oem rom back on it and see if you can get them to replace it.

Unfortunatley im out of warranty

Is there anyway to completely erase everything that is on the hermes at once? except for the stuff on the eeprom, i already had to deal with that

can no one help us?

i heard from my friend who works at an att non corp store that just recently non corp stores were given the ability to give the new contract discounts. that he just has to make a 5 min call and it gets approved and they can offer you the 2yr discount although it might extend your contract.
reason im saying this is even if your not up for an update, any att store should be able to (if the guy chooses to be helpful) hook you up with the discount regardless of how long or how little you've been in contract.
just food for thought in case you cant find a solution.

when I reset my device i see no GSM ocassionaly, well since an hour ago, its been saying nothing but No GSM, I have tried to fix it using the unbrick direction in the wiki, but to no avail.

Can a t-mobile tp2 flashed with a cdma rom be brought back to a gsm radio rom?

Hi. Can a T-mobile HTC TOUCH PRO2 (US version) which was stupidly flashed with a SPRINT CDMA ROM be brought back to GSM by reflashing it with a GSM flash ROM file using a PC running Windows? If so, where can I obtain the flash ROM file from, as well as the utility to flashing it back with.
PS: HTC Techs wouldn't help me except telling me to send it in so they can charge me more than I already paid for this phone already. Thanks in advance for helping or trying to help.

Did you brick you device?

Well, my "know-it-all" buddy who's had great success with tinkering & flashing my other phones, B-R-I-C-K-E-D this one. Now he and I have been through the gamut on trying to reset this TP2 with the problems listed in another thread here using forum members' suggestions as well as the resetting tips for this model found on HTC.com with no success. So I had a thought in my sleep. Maybe, just maybe, I can reflash it?
Symptoms: There is no screen on this phone now. My PC tries to recognize it for about 1 minute or two, after it displays it's hardware signature in Device Manager 2-3 minutes showing up as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" with an exclamation point under "Other Devices", then, the phone's hardware signature disappears from my hardware list in Windows 7's Device Manager listing. It didn't do that before.
"My Other thread" referring to all I did in trying to revive this phone with the help of other members here.

You should be able to connect the USB, go into bootloader mode, and then run update the ROM. You should probably run task29 first to clear the memory. If you can't get the USB to work, you can flash from your SD card. Check the first several posts of the ROM forum, rather than this GENERAL forum.

find an official T-mobile HTC TOUCH PRO2 rom and flash it.
and if your device has hard-spl then you can flash any full gsm rom.

Nope no good. These tips all expect some sort of interactivity between the use & the phone present like being able to go into bootloader mode or expecting something visual on the screen. My TP2 doesn't do anything after flashing it with the CDMA process (provided by the Rhodium.htc-unlocks.com website), except turn on the little orange LED ever couple of minutes until the battery just dies out.

You now have a nice paper weight or brick. Flashing a cdma radio and/or bootloader/unlocker is NOT reversible. If you had only flashed a cdma rom then that could have been reversed.

If you cant get into bootloader I'm almost certain that means the phone's bricked. I realize that's likely not the information you want to here but you need at least a FEW things working on the thing to be able to flash it to a different rom. Bootloader being one of them.

If you cant get into bootloader mode,then i dont currently know any other way of reviving the device at home.sorry.

RMA usually it's totally free you only have to pay to send in the phone. I know cause I did the same thing kind of... I flashed a GSM rom on a CDMA phone and totally bricked it. My phone connection led didn't light up when connected. Then I call HTC, they sent me to call another company that handles US Cellular and got it RMA paid only shipping.
If your led connection lights up there might be a possibility you can flash your stock rom with a clean Micro SD Card. Just search for this method on the forums, it has been a working life saver to many.

The only thing that might work is to go back over the the CDMA forum and find out how the CDMA version invokes the bootloader. Maybe it is different than the GSM version? If you can't get to bootloader you are in trouble.

Bear in mind that (I believe) the OP said he Hard-SPL'd the device. I've seen numerous tales on here, of HTC declining to repair under warranty in those cases, citing 'Illegal software'. They usually then quote a couple of hundred dollars to change the motherboard, or a fee to return the phone unrepaired (the fee is their charge for the diagnostics).

I have the same error. Any new guess? In my country there aren't HTC repair stores

hi all:
anyone here know how to reboot the tmobile tp2 after I think I brick it? probably flash with wrong rom. now the phone will not turn off. stuck at "stick together".

Before I send my phone back to TMO UK....

I can't get a GPS fix so it needs to go back for repair. Previoulsy I have rooted it with unrevoked.
Tonight, i made a gold card and flashed it with a T-Mobile rom i downloaded, which went swimmingly.
Is this all I need to do so they don't know it was rooted?

Yes!!!!!!!!!!

You wouldn't have needed the gold card to flash the T-Mobile RUU, which ROM were you originally on when you got the phone?

A tmobile rom was on the phone, but i'd ran unrevoked so I needed to get rid of that. I tried without a gold card but was getting errors like customer id, but the gold card got round that.

Goldcard always wins

Then you weren't on a T-Mobile ROM originally if you needed a gold card to flash it
A gold card is ONLY needed to flash a ROM different to the original build number, it should NOT be needed to flash a branded ROM if your phone was branded so sounds like you went through the issue for nothing

Very true but as long as he has managed to flash a branded ROM with it i don't think T-Mobile will be able to tell the difference

They can if they check the IMEI and see it wasn't a T-Mobile handset

Certainly if that's what he's trying to do. But if that were the case then he would have to show them contract details or a receipt before getting a repair anyway. It is however possible that he bought a legitimate un-branded phone from T-Mobile and therefore flashing the ROM to a T-mobile one won't make them look twice.

Not true, if that was the case I could send my unbranded one back to Vodafone for repair. They'd send it back saying 'not one of ours, off to HTC you go' which is what T-Mobile might also do

I hear what you are saying. I personally have never done it but have read on here that some people have not managed to flash back to an RUU for their carrier without using a goldcard ( not saying it has to be used maybe they did something wrong with the first flash and the goldcard did it right for them) iv'e also read that some have problems as the newer ROM they have on their phone won't allow them to flash to an older stock RUU and the goldcard has allowed them to do this.
Again only going off what i have read here

I'm just trying to make the OP aware that although it shouldn't be a problem it might be

T-Mobile LTE is virtually nonexistent/very weak and slow

When I first got my HTC LTE was working fine then it suddenly stopped. I called T-Mobile who was clueless, so I popped the sim back into my S7 Edge and Nexus 6P age LTE worked perfectly. I decided to try unlocking s-off etc to flash a more current firmware since mine was on a really old one. I flagged 1.30xx stock then LeeDroid rom being sure to not decrypt data during the process. LTE still won't won't, I'm only getting HSPA+ which sucks. I have another sim card I could activate, but I want to know if there's another way to fix this? My APN seems fine, as does the preferred radio mode. Any suggestions/additional troubleshooting that I can do before sending the phone back
Update:
Here are some videos I made showing the issue:
Part 1
Part 2
I will add another one using the stock ROM to further prove the issue exists on both the unlocked firmware, and T-Mobile one.

You root your phone, mess it up and then send it back? Kinda messed up.

Did you try flashing the latest modem?

No, I stated the issue was there before then. I only unlocked it and flashed updated firmware in an attempt to fix the issue which it didn't. Clearly we all need to read thoroughly before responding to an OP so we don't look arrogant in the end.
Now, on another note I mentioned this issue was already present from the moment I started using the phone 100% stock. It will sometimes still get LTE, but it only sticks for 10-30 seconds then drops to H/H+ immediately. My S7 Edge and Nexus 6P do not have this issue whatsoever therefore I'm certain something with the firmware is not right.

No, I can't get it to flash, but I'm going to try another method for updating it to that version

Mine has been extremely inconsistent in sticking to LTE. Sometimes I have to force it to LTE only and then when I switch back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, it ****s the bed for a few minutes before correcting itself.

Did you try downloading the ruu.exe on the computer and then running it as administrator also make sure you have either changed your cid to the US unlocked one or to supercid I used the exe version of the ruu it went fine on my end I hope you get your situation worked out

I don't know your phone model, but since you are in the US. I would suggest you run US unlocked RUU for eliminating any software issues.
If you have an unlocked device, then you can simply download from @Behold's thread about us unlocked RUU.
If you have a T-mobile device, I would suggest you to get s-off and then run RUU.
Send back your modified phone is likely the least preferred option to do/recommend.

I did not boot into download mode. Left it on the home screen, Just made sure USB debugging was on. The RUU handled everything after that.

Quick update:
I changed my CID to 111111 and it flashed via the RUU .exe file (surprisingly). I still cannot get LTE other than a ran moment where it might connect for a second before dropping back to H+. I even made a new APN (copied from my S7 Edge) and it still won't get LTE. Could this be some bizarre sim issue despite it working on every other phone I own (4 other phones work fine with LTE and my sim)?

Have them re register the device on the network? The US unlocked base should work fine on TMOUS, I know as I have used it and both LTE, VoLTE, and WiFi calling fully work.

Data stuck at 2G on T-Mobile

I just bought a factory unlocked htc one m9 and plugged the sim card in.
After cache partition wipes, two hour-long customer support calls, a factory reset, and a bottle of Tylenol, nothing happened.
(Okay, I'm joking about the Tylenol.)
The big issues are that the only mobile network operator detected in settings is AT&T, and that I can not change any APN settings (though they are T-mobile anyway, so that shouldn't matter.)
The T-mobile rep and I both checked, and the phone IS compatible with the t-mobile data bands in my area, so there is no physical reason that it shouldn't work.
Any help with this would be massively appreciated!

I had a similar problem with my phone (developer edition) when I first put in the sim card. A phone restart with the sim in it solved it right off.

Now that you've restarted, try going into the network settings and manually choosing T-Mobile.
(Settings, Mobile Data, Network operators, search for networks)

It doesn't find anything other than AT&T.

I'm guessing that choosing the automatic option dues any good.
My next move would be to redo the setup process.... probably by resetting the phone. I'm off to Google the issue and see if anything comes up.
[EDIT] Before you do that, double check that your network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. Anything else will (artificially) limit you to 2G or 3G [/EDIT]
[EDIT #2] T-Mobile has the APN information for manual input. It may be worth trying to create a new APN profile to see if that makes a difference [/EDIT]

I tried both of those. Now I'm having issues even just connecting it to my computer over USB. (HTC site says there's a software update that I think might help, but the phone isnt detecting it)

Ah. Probably worth applying the latest RUU. The executable is here - best to install it with your phone connected to your computer in download mode. Alternatively, you can use the SD card method, though you'll have to search around for the Android 7 Rui zip file.

I think I'm going to have to use the SD card method - the m9 keeps disconnecting randomly over usb and if that happens during the install.... I'd really like to not brick the phone.
I've been looking around all over google and can't seem to find a .zip for the update, I found one in a thread on here (still can't link things yet, under ten posts) but the download site said file not found.
In addition, do I need to use S-Off before trying the update? In some of the forums that was mentioned but I think it was for a different version of the phone. HTC has the update files and doesn't say anything about it, but it also doesn't say anything about updating over SD card.

Head on over to the General forum and check out the thread by Flippy498 about stock ROMs. It should be a few posts in, but the zip file is linked!

For anyone else having this type of issue - even though they're all unlocked, some versions of the htc one m9 (potentially other phones by HTC as well) are produced in different regions. The Taiwanese version does not have band 12, and others potentially lack other bands.

Oh dear. I assumed that you were referring to the unlocked version sold directly from HTC, as opposed to a branded M9 (produced for a specific carrier & region) that had subsequently sim-unlocked.

That's fine, I assumed I was too. Thank you again for all of the help computerslayer!

My pleasure. Did you end up successfully getting the phone on T-Mobile?

Nope! I'm trying to unlock the lte bands before using S-off (just because it doesn't seem like anyone's tried it yet.) I'll post results as soon as I finish trying, but it's slow-going.
