I have upgraded and downgraded many times, never with a failure. I just upgraded to PDAVIET 4.0003. Went without a hitch but now my phone will not stay on the network, also it will every few minutes complain that there is no sim card. Card is fine as tested in my other phones. The interesting part is it functions fine on any 2.2 ROM.
Tried Smart1's True's and all PDAVIET, no WM6 allows the phone to work.
Cold resets don't resolve the issue. Is there something that could have gotten corrupted that is part of the phone OS and not in the ROM's?
I am at a loss to troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks for reading, any advice/suggestions is appreciated.
ron1n, what is the network protocol for your provider?
Do you use pap or chap, the setting choice in CommManager?
Is network set for auto in phone dialog?
In your connection settings, do you use Server assigned ip address or auto?
Since i have upgraded to PDAviet i have almost the same problem.
After soft-resetting my device no gsm connection is found.
The only solution is to go into phone option and start the manual search.
If it's connected it works without any problems.
Strange thing....I also tested a few gsm roms but always the same experience.

Reflash Radio ROM (2.47.21 or 2.69.21 will work)
To reply to all of your suggestions. I have tried 5 different radio roms, none will see the phone network (GSM not GPRS) for more than a few seconds with a weak signal, then they fail and either go to flight mode or say that the SIM is missing. To reiterate, this was working fine up until yesterday with a few different WM6 ROM's. Coincidentally, the rear speaker failed at the same time. I resolved that issue, but the lack of phone service persists, although all AKU 2.2 ROM's work fine. Very curious....

It is CHAP, although I am referring to the phone service not wireless GPRS. My network is configured for auto, although if I switch to manual (due to the lack of consistent conntection), it will not be able to see any networks, except briefly and intermittently.

WM6 Sim Card issues [solution, use radio rom 2.19.21]
I've been using WM6 for awhile now, I've tried SMART1.3, PDAVIET 4.0.0.01, 4.0.0.0.3,4.0.0.0.3a and finally 4.0.0.0.4 .. but yesterday i tried to flash back to SMART1.3. After downgrading and upgrading, i got unknown sim status ! since yesterday , I've change my Radio Rom and OS ( I've tried almost everything ) but i can't get my phone to work in WM6 !! when i flash back to wm5 ( any AKU 2.2 version ) i have no problem with phone or GSM but as soon as I upgrade to WM6, I got unkown Sim status ... anybody , have any Ideas ?!!
Same Problem !
I have exactly the same problem !! it's not from radio ROM or OS !! I've tried 3 different version of radio ROM, and almost every single WM6 OS that is out there ! my phone stop responding yesterday after i changed my OS from PDAVIET 4.0.0.0.4 to SMART1.3 ! since then I've tried everything, but I can't get the phone to work in any WM6 OS! although WM5 (any version of it) is okay !

Did it used to work?
Yes , it used to work ! I've been using WM6 for more than 2 weeks with no problem! recently I upgrade my os to PDAVIET 4.0.0.0.4, but I decide to change the OS back to SMART 1.3, after I changed it back, i got the error "Unknown SIM card , without the pin you can call emergency calls only" I tried my pin and PUK , but none works ! So i changed the OS to WM5 again. I've tried couple of different version of WM5 (JESTER, NVID) and I've found the phone works perfectly in wm5 !! as I said before I tried re-flashing my Radio ROM, but it didn't help !! i still can't get my phone to work in WM6 ! any of Pocket PC gurus, have any suggestion ?
S200 Gone Wacko with WM6 and I don't know why
Hello people
Okay so here is the situation, since about last week I have been using PDAViet 4.0.0.3 on my Qtek S200
Now I love this ROM..so much so that I spoon with it at night...um...crap lol Its fast and lite...but something went terribly terribly wrong yesterday
So around 1pm I disconnect my phone from my computer, and notice a "X" in the data connection arrows...okay I thought nothing of it. I go to a restaurant, get a phone call from my brother, and talk, and everything is fine. From there it went bonkers...it kept on trying to connect a GSM signal, and then would go out to no service...it would keep on trying and trying, and bogging down my phone....
So finally i got it stablize (with an EDGE data signal i thought) and of course a voice signal and went on my merry 2 hour drive back home to Montreal.
When I got to Montreal and was waiting in the dead moving traffic jam, I wanted to check the Windies cricket score on BBC, so I take out my phone and try to make a data connection. But again the X showed...i rebooted my phone and signal about 10 or 20 times, and finally got something...however by the time that happend I had arrived at home so i went and used my computer.
The GSM signal stayed, but I dont know if I had a data connection. I then went to a funeral, turned off my radio entirely, and then when I turn it back on...ooooooooo no signal...it would get 2 bars, and then drop, and then 2 bars "E" symbol, and then drop.
So from then on, i went nuts, opened up the back, took out the battery, checked the sim, installed another sim to make sure..and by now it went even worse..first INVALID SIM...then it went to MISSING SIM...urge to kill rising!
I finally said F it, and hard resetted my phone...but i noticed something upon the screen calibration..."NOTIFICATION ERROR...cannot find calnot.exe". After hard resetting and such, the problem still showed...
This morning, after leaving it overnight, it was still misbehaving...so I went to took it back down to the floating NVID file found here on XDA developers...and oddly enough...no more calnot.exe error...the radio signal is strong, and i get a data connection...So i tried to then upgrade to the new PDAViet 4.0.0.4s ROM, but again...calnot.exe error...so finally i am stuck at the NVID ROM...oy!
So I searched here on XDA Developers and on google...now while people have said they get the calnot.exe error, they also get this reglog.dll (or something to that effect) error as well...me on the other hand am only getting that calnot.exe error, which would seem to be the root of my problem.
What can I do fix this, and get back to the speedy 4.0.0.3 ROM (man I love that ROM)
Phone info:
ipl: 2.09
spl: 2.20.0000 (so I guess that my Qtek S200 is a G3 model)
radio: 02.47.21 (i even moved up to 02.69.21)
os: 2.20.7.34
so i really appreciate the help guys...take care...

Flash again the WM5 NoVid Rom,hard reset and if you come up with the same error,hard reset again... Tell me what happens... If it works flash PDAViet 4.0.0.0.3a...
Holy S*** I have the same Problem for like two weeks!!
Man , I have exactly the same problem !!! exactly !! i had PDaviet 4.0.0.0.4 and one day I got the same thing, No signal , then after i hard reset, the Calnot error ! then Hard reset again, and this time I got the replog error !
I get "Unknown Sim Card!" or "Unknow Sim Card status enter your pin" whenever I install WM6! My phone works perfectly in Wm5 though !!
I flashed radio rom in WM6, I also tried different sim Cards , but none works !I can not get the phone to work in wm6!
By the way, NVID is not a good rom to stay with.

Sometimes it would be calnot.exe notification error, or replog.dll, or now clocknot.exe error...so far only NVID works

In a way I am glad you are having the same problem...so I know I am not a nut lol (and nor am I alone)...but of course its not good to relish in someones downfall, so of course it is also a bad thing eh..
What ROM would you suggest then? NVID seems alright, but I don't know of any others out there (well somewhat)...thanks!
I wish we knew why it happened at first place!
for wm5, if you want a clean, fast and reliable Rom, try Jesterz Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284578
you might want to re flash the start-up image to HTC logo... you can find the .cap in the same thread.. I also updated the radio rom too, you can find it in prophet wiki.
Jesterz Rom is nice cause you don't have to uninstall anything, it's really clean and stable. it is by far better than NVID, but don't ask why cause i have to ramble a lot.
Oh by the way if you found out why this happened to us .. let me know

Strange, however, can you post which radio version you have when you switch roms ? it could a radio rom problem....
Hi everyone,
I tried to update my radio version several times but after finish update, the radio version still display the old version.
I did try update to 1.41, 1.50, 1.51, 1.45. every time I did success, which means status bar went 100% and then reset itself without error. however, when I check the radio version in "settings", it shows 1.14.01.10, hope someone can help. thank you all.
my info:
Phone: X01HT
WM6 CE5.2.1948
ROM version: Schap's 4.22
ROM date: 10/03/07
Radion version: 1.14.01.10 (after several times update, still!)
Protocol Version: 32.50.7018.00H
ExtROM version: 4.22.20071209
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.10.Olipro
Since your device is a softbank hermes you MAY have an issue because it has radio bootloader 0182 on it (which is flashed when you FIRST turned the phone on).
I wasnt aware this prevented it from having a new radio version flashed though??
Ive been away a while so somebody might be able to elaborate on this.

so....can this be fixed or solved? thx man.
to my best understanding, no, this cannot be resolved. you can unlock the phone (not free) and change the ROM, but the 1.14 radio and 0182 radio bootloader are unchangeable. i think developers have given up on cracking this bootloader as its a negligible population that are affected (X01HT users in Japan... i happen to be one and have been waiting and hoping for a solution since i got my phone in april).

thats bad. no wonder after several updates, it still stick with the old radio version. I thought I can improve the reception performance after radio updates.
oh well......we'll wait then. anyways thank u all. hope there will be a way to do a update on X01HT.
Are those all X01HT cannot be updated radio ROM? and only be stucked in the 1.14 radio version?
I thought I saw someone using X01HT is using a more update radio version though....
You can prevent RBL 0182 from loading by immediately resetting the phone during its FIRST power up. But if you let it go through the customization process, then you're pretty much f**ked. Having said that, I really have no issues with mine being stuck at radio 1.14, I use only 3G and with average use the battery still lasts 3 days, not to mention very good reception even inside my Boxwave Armor casing (aluminium) which some people here have reported to have a dissipating effect on the signal strength. However, these are just my experiences, and are anecdotal at best.
Hi,
I bought an used HD2 (Leo) few months back. My phone was working fine but lately the Network just dies. I need to switch the Phone radio Off and then switch it back On for the network to come back.
It is not a service provider issue as there is no such problems in other phones. I have also tried hard resetting the phone but the issue still persists.
My Phone details:
OS Version: 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
Manila Version: 2.5.20181527.0
ROM Version: 3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE
ROM Date: Sep 29, 2010
Radio Version: 2.15.50.14
Protocol Version: 15.42.50.11U
Sorry I'm a n00b so don't have much idea about this. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
**BUMP** Somebody please help me with this issue..
2.15.50.14 radio gave call dropping problems for some so would be a good idea to try a few other radios (have a link in my Sig for another popular one)
If ou do not have HSPL you will need to install one prior to radio flashing. Use HSPL4 for easy flashing of all HSPL versions.
You could also try a WM6.5.x custom ROM as they are far far better/less buggy than any standard ROM for HD2 & also have many better features.
If your signal is really weak maybe you have antenna problem on HD2 but if signal strong when connected antenna is probably ok.
You could also check SIM is clean & feels a firm fit in SIM slot, if loose you could put som tape on back of sim card which will make it push more firm on contacts & perhaps help !
> My SIM is already taped and it is pretty new so I can rule out this issue.
> The signal is strong and it goes blank all of a sudden so MAY be I can rule out antenna issues as well.
> IIRC this thing started after updating to the latest ROM. So I would like to try out any other Radio version. I clicked on the link in your Sig, it took me to now defunct Megaupload. Could you please guide me to the thread where I can find the Radio also please guide me to the HSPL thread as well.
I have updated link in my Signature.
HSPL4 can be found HERE
I would recommend a WM6.5.3 custom ROM from NRG or perhaps Artemis, the standard ROMs even latest are rubbish compared to a well set up custom build.
Also worth checking all radio settings are suitable & do not rule out operator.
I had similar issue of loosing signal at times & not being able to reconnect easily.
Tried sim in other phone & never had issue,called network & they sure it me or my phone but it was network registration issue linked to handset IMEI ...
Check everything & assume nothing ... hopefully it is latest ROM or Radio simply not working well with your network !
Thanks Mister B for all the help but as I said I'm a n00b and I'm a lil scared to flash to custom ROMs as I have never done it before. I will try to flash Custom ROMs over this weekend. If you dont mind can I please PM you if I need any help?
Try the radio in my sig first & see what results you get before a ROM change.
Could still be hardware or operator but unlikely, if problem persists flashing ROM is a good idea to eliminate software/firmware issues ...
Take care & if you have a TMOUS (t-mobile US) HD2 take a lot more care ... PM me if needed ...
Out of interest what network are you on & what settings ? GSM or WCDMA or AUTO, What bands ect ?
> Installed HSPL4 and set it to 3.03.HSPL
> Flashed Radio to 2.12.50.02_2
Will wait for a week and see if this has resolved the network issues.
Next step will try to install custom ROMs. Can you please tell me some good some ROMs out there? I saw NRG ROM thread and got confused seeing so many different variatons!
I got the phone from UK. Currently using it in India and the netwok is Idea. Network Type and Band Frequency are set to Auto.

what hspl did you choose? it isnt enough to simply say ' i installed hspl4', , did you use hspl4 to set 2.08.hspl? or 2.10.hspl? or 3.03.hspl?
The reason i ask is because 2.08.hspl or 2.10.hspl will cause issues on a 3.14 rom.
Go into bootloader, if the spl line DOESNT say 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl then run hspl4 again and choose 3.03.hspl
@samsamuel
I used HSPL4 and set it to 3.03.
This is what the bootloader says
SPL-3.03.HSPL XE
is this good?
Updated in my previous post about the version.
yea that's fine. It was a long shot, but always worth checking.
I agree with prev poster about 2.15.50 being a bit odd, it seemed to always drop the signal in my pocket where other radios wouldnt, and i remember back when it was first released i read something about it havign mroe agressive power management, perhaps too agressive? Ive used 2.12.50 for several months now, and although it still gets weaker reception than any other phone ive owned, its pretty stable, signal-wise.

Exactly the issue I'm facing! Hopefully the 2.12 radio will solve this issue for me.
I thought this is some hardware issue and never bothered to check the forum. Should have done this long before. But why did HTC make it is so agressive power saver that it would lose the network! A case of not testing the radio properly.
I like the NRG ROM in link below.
http://www.slingfile.com/file/jF7ho7r9tH
I use an older build myself as works better with my lingvosoft language software.
Artemis is also popular but NRG 23699 build was so stable & last WM6.5.3 to work well with split screen apps I stuck with it ... works great for me, highly customizable & stable ROMs.
You would need HSPL 2.08 for this ROM & best to conclude if issue resolved via radio before flashing a ROM.
Day 1: Had no network drop issues today. Will check with people who often call me to check if they got any caller unreachable message to confirm if my phone's network didn't drop out.
Day 2: No Network issues
Day 3: No issues
Day 4: Network dropped out once. Battery drain was less.
Day 5: Unable to connect to wifi!! Is this because of the new radio?
Day 6: Still unable to connect to wifi
Mister B please help me with this wifi issue. Should I try changing it to any other radio version?
Odd, I have heard of no wifi issues with 2.12.50 radio ...
check wifi power settings & perhaps try another radio or ROM.
Personally I would be inclined to get on an NRG ROM & 2.08HSPL & see how things go.
Also don't rule out hardware antenna issues with your device which are improved by stronger performing radio.
Will try installing NRG ROM this week. Will update here on the progress.
Any idea how much will it cost to replace the antenna?
Could be just the case of poor pressure on spring contacts to antenna & just need adjusting ...
As you had no wifi issue before it could be Radio not working well with HSPL version & ROM.
Try another Radio or as already mentioned try Energy ROM with 2.08HSPL & see how it goes ...
Also can somebody please let me know how to do a bad block test.
I found this in one of the post from cajunflavoredbob
