I think it may be hardware... Try a different ROM and see if the problem persists.
i return back to iprophet rom and everything back to normal,i dont know whats wrong

this problem has been reported in the ROM thread too. If you encounter a problem with a specific ROM, it is better to post it in that specific thread. Then you realy share your problem with other users, and the change of getting help from them or from the "cook" is way bigger.
In most cases, starting a new thread for such topics isn't realy productive and will only pollute this forum.

That's incredibly odd given that they use the same bas ROM...
hello everyone!
i have bought a HTC Hermes from eBay and hopefully will receive the device soon. As I want to be prepared, when my new toy arrives, I have already started to read thru the Wiki and the Forums! I know, that the experts, which have been posting here for years now, want every beginner to RTFW and to use the search function and so on. What some mebers here don't seem to understand, that such a huge amount of information, which is often unstructured, easily misunderstood and/or simply outdated, is almost impossible to overcome!
personally, i am sure i learned a lot by reading thru xda-devs for sevreal days. but nevertheless, all this different information leaves me just confused and unsecure. seriously, i dont want to take any chances of bricking my pda!
so my appeal is to sum up some basic information regarding flashing & upgrading. and to make sure that i dont make any mistakes i ask all of you to correct me if i am wrong (which i am most likly going to be a couple of times).
ok. lets go!
basically i believe, that since latest developments
( --> "Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker *New* version v3a" & --> "Hard-SPL V7"),
almost all Hermes versions can be UNLOCKED & UPGRADED safely, regardless of what bootloader version they are running....
true?
so all I need to upgrade to my phone to the latest versions is
HardSLP, the UNLOCKER and the ROMs I want to install!
true?
using those new tools mentioned above, downgrading to official 1.04 SLP rom versions (?!) to upgrade IS NOT necessary anymore.
true?
if my phone is once prepared with the two tools mentioned above, it is ready to get flashed again and again.... using those tools is a one time thing, which has to be done first time flashing.
true?
i have some questions as well you could help me with!
in what order should I start working?
what are the first steps? (which tool is used first?)
what are the major mistakes i could make to brick my device, even if i use the newest tools...?
i really hope that some people will understand my problems and try help me!
i would really like to contribute to the forums and if this wokrs out as i imagine, it could result in a new and up to date beginners guide!
thanks for reading!
please help!
regards,krz
Personally....
1) unlock as I believe it actually upgrades your SPL to 1.40. This is fine BUT if you've put Hard SPL ver 7 on then you have to run it again.
2) Hard SPL Ver7. You can put version 9 on BUT its for developers & really doesn't help the person who wants to just flash. It also throws up an error message after flashing that can be worrisome. No problem but apparently it needs fixing.
3) Find a rom you like - Only a hermes rom... If you find a rom you like for another Phone and they try to flash this you can be assured of an instant brick. Its like throwing an english speaking person into another country where no english is spoken. BIG TROUBLE... and unlike a person, the phone won't adapt and learn.
Check the forum for a rom you like, I can guarantee there is no "perfect rom" and sooner than later something else will come along that MUST be tried... Start with wm 6 as these are known to be stable and cut your teeth with these before venturing into the deep waters of 6.1. When you're confident flashing and troubleshooting these, then try wm6.1 as some work and research will/may be necessary to get these roms working stable.
4) Have fun....
Cheers...
thank you ultramag69!
unfortuneatly, noone else seems to want to help me here...
well, i'll keep on trying...
i had time for some further reading.
it seems, that I would not necessarily need the HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker, if my phone was NOT simlocked.
instead of that, i could use the latest version of HardSPL to make it SuperCID!
RIGHT OR WRONG?
[btw: what excacty is the difference between SPL & MFG? what is a mfg anyway?]
I found THIS GUIDE while reading the forums.
* Housekeeping
* Flashing HardSPL
* Upgrading the Radio
* Upgrading to ______ WM6
* Programs and Settings
no matter what ROM version, bootloader, radio, etc. my phone is, following this guide would always work!
RIGHT OR WRONG?
if NOT, when wouldn't it?
what exceptions are there?
again, please be so kind and comment on this. i would realy be glad to be absolutely sure in what i am going to have to do!
there is still some insecurity left, please help me to make things a little clearer for me!
thank you in advance!
regards,
krz
Try reading 1st age of this thread.... Guides by MrVanx... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462&page=34
As for Hard SPL, you can flash ANY HERMES rom... DONT TRY TO FLASH ANY OTHER ROMS.... Also, remember always that Hard SPL ISNT a guarantee not to brick your phone, its a safety net to help you when (and if you get to flashing alot) things go splat. It means that fixing a brick is put back into the realms of possibility instead of you now owning a very expensive paperweight. Please remember too that upgrading your radio rom is the riskiest thing to do on your hermes. most bricks come about because the radio rom gets corrupted & CANT be fixed... Hard SPL or no...As the saying goes, "if it aint broke, don't fix it". depending where you are in the world depends on which radio rom is best... research first and dont overflash this. If in Oz then 1.54.30.10 is selected by Testra. Seems to be ok...
Hope this isnt too much for you to digest...
thank you again ultramag!

that's clear. of course i meant any HERMES Roms regardless of version number, etc. ROMs of other devices (eg. Wizard, Kaiser) are of course NOT compatible...
i just wanted to double check, that downgrading to a certain bootloader is not necessary anymore in times of HardSLP v7...?

i'm curious, why upgrading the radio ROM is that riskiy or some much riskier that upgrading the windows ROM for example. is it only, because it can't be fixed when flashing goes wrong? or is flashing the radio rom more likely to go wrong than flashing WindowsROM ?

Just the guides... Helped me lotsa times...
Downgrading your SPL from 2.10 isn't the best idea if you are gonna flash a lot a It is a safety net. If you do want to downgrade SPL you can, there is a guide in the wiki.
When the radio rom upgrading goes wrong it seems to be that the memory itself becomes corrupted. There are plenty of "fixes" BUT they seem to work erratically. The os is completely wiped and rewritten and doesn't seem to be affected by these "unrecoverable bad blocks". It can still be screwed up but is more tolerant of errors and can be repaired easily enough using MTTY(do search on wiki).
Read some of the posts about people who've bricked their phone & you'll see that MOST people who cant recover their Hermes have screwed up their radio... ie. phone displays "No GSM". Most can still use the PDA part of the Hermes BUT it won't make calls again so is considered a brick.
Most cooked roms DON'T contain the radio rom.
As for "Yes/No Answers", Yes you are partially right and no, you are partly wrong. Did that clear that up???

totally!
i know that i know nothing!
anyways, thanks for trying. i think it kinda worked....
i flashed the Blue Angel and the Wizard a couple of times without any problems... my PC even crashed once while flashing the wizard.... fortuneatly i could reflash it afterwards..... i thought flashing the HERMES could be more of a hustle... ?
regarding the RADIO ROM: i guess, i will avoid flashing the radio too often!
btw: i am from AUSTRIA, Europe, and I am using the telering/t-mobile network!
recommending me a good RADIO ROM for telering/t-mobile austria would be very much appreciatiaed!
after all, flashing from SD card instead of flashing via an USB connection seems to be recommendeable regarding safety issues! i shall consider that as well!
breaking it down:
1) use HardSPL to upgrade ROMs (instead of downgrading to official SPLs, which are flashable...)
2) dont upgrade the radio too much. find the best one for your provider, flash it once, keep it if it works!
3) safety first! use the SD card for flashing instead of the PC and USB connection.
aight?

Soon grasshopper, you will take over.....answering these questions...
As for radio rom, sorry, but I'm in Australia, ass end of the world where all the crap phones turn up. REALLY happy to find a FANTASTIC phone in the Hermes.....
hello again....
i want to start flashing soon, but there are still some things unclear.
regarding the AKU: i read about AKu in the forums, but i am still not sure about it....
when i upgrade to windows mobile 06 for example, is there a AKU included?
only in official ROMs?
or do i have to upgrade AKUs seperatly?
could anyone at least briefly answer my questions and maybe even try to explain the whole AKU stuff for me again...
would be awesome!
thx in advamce
krz
ps: the more i read in the wiki, the more confused i get... all this outdated information is confusing me more and more... it is really hard to catch up here. specially when all u get is a "gofckyourselfandreadthewiki"-post

You're just getting information overload, If you searched for "What is AKU" using google you'd have got this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1445514&postcount=1
Just follow Mr Vanx's Guide http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Itemid=26 or else http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1186163&postcount=1 from start to end & you should have a successful flash. This link is also very handy for beginners http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1465974&postcount=1
Just remember if you intend to flash one of the WM6.1 Roms, many of the members feel that it is best to flash an official carrier Rom before flashing your selected Rom to prevent H/R issues. Happy Flashing!
My phone works good only for one coll.... after it stop all sound if i dont change rom!!!
i cant listen anyone... and i cant lissen the ringtone or e music...
Natihing!!!
I spent the last many one week ago because i wonted it.... but now i dont know whot happen............
help me tnx
Hey Grafin
I've noticed you already start 2 threads for your phone, in the other thread you asked which model you have.
To help you we have to know which model it is you can see it when you pull out the battery, there it shows wich model your phone is.
And give some more info which rom and radio you are using.
Btw use the search button there is always a thread that could help you and ask a question in the right thread, by just starting a new thread it will be difficult for someone else to find the right thread because there are so many of the threads that are almost the same.
Regards, Rataplan
This happens when you combine an older ROM (original?!?) with a new Radio(1.65.xx or greater). See the stickies thread about it:
Radios they work with new Drivers on HTC Niki:
Use Kaiser/Niki eMonster Drivers or from HTC Neon!
Some user Reports problem with her "eMobile S12HT" - NIKI500 - i havent enough infos in the moment! Dont overwrite your Original OS and Radio.
RUU Nike Radio 1.65.14.06K
RUU Nike Radio 1.65.24.36
RUU Nike Radio 1.71.09.01K "Highly Recommended"

Older ROMs lack those new drivers.

Hi guys,
I am running the Lite'ning Rom v5.0 XXKG6 on my Orange UK Supplied SGS2. I would like to know if it is possible or if anyone is able to get the Orange Signal Boost App to run on this or any other custom ROM?
I don't really want to go back to the standard Orange ROM, but could really do with the UMA Signal Boost App as I get very poor signal in the office.
There is another thread which talks about this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036713 on the Desire S, but they haven't managed to get it to work, however I beleive that is becasue they are trying to port it from another device. Whereas we know it works on the SGS2 already!
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help or make a suggestion
Sorry to bump this, I was wondering if I was the only Orange UK user who would like to use UMA Signal Boost App on a custom ROM?
I guess you didn't see this thread then on page 1 of this forum.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208830
I'll keep an eye on this, because it's the only thing keeping me from running a debranded ROM!
Nope missed that, I think it was because I kept searching for UMA, which didn't come up in the other thread!
Suggest everyone follows the existing thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208830
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, lets hope an APK is developed soon.

Orange Signal Boost - I9100 / ICS 4.0.3 xxLPH - SIM Card Not Recognised
Hi all – I just wanted to give my experience of Signal Boost on ICS xxLH.
I followed the instructions given by 5aq1b on page 18 of this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20803760&postcount=172) using the SignalBoost.rar posted by Joey2o11 on page 12 of this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19692151&postcount=119).
When I restart my phone it does not recognise the SIM card.
When I copied the new default.prop to /system, I was given the option to merge with the existing default.prop.
Was this the correct choice or should I have first deleted the existing default.prop?
I've restored using CWM so no problem.
If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
I really do not want to return to the stock Orange ROM but I'm not so happy about having to stand at the bottom of the garden to make a call .
With thanks
I am also trying to get this working, would love to use a custom rom, but rely on the signal boost app! If anyone has any ideas i am willing to try them out, in the meantime i shall keep trying!

First of all, Hi guys nice to meet you all.
I'm new to this forum so i need help to find some answer. Forgive me too be a such annoying noobie :angel:
Well short story, I just bought a nbew phone HTC radar. As i'm expected of course i'ts a locked WP7
I've already find thread related to unlock the phone OS. SPL HSPL and how to install custom rom
The problem is, i found this on my bootloader screen :
PI06100
SPL-4.6, 175006.2 (140733)
eMMC SMS 7376MB, FA31
TOUCH A1 (F:80,ID:10,V20,B:AA)
Radio-17.5006.08.27
As far as i learn from various thread, i have to downgrade my SPL become 2.05/2.5
I have already tried gold card trick and have no luck, and as far as i'm concern it no use for SPL 4.X
Now, long story short i know that my SPL shpuld be downgrade, and probably to lower Shipped rom version such as 1.07 or 1.08 and then i use goldcard tricks and hope it will work. Finger cross at least i want to try it first.
Could any one of you give me ay solution of this problem? Or at least point me to a link that contain tutorial to FLASH STOCK ROM i want to try if maybe possible to downgrade to STOCK ROM with lower SPL.
Any kind of help and solution i aprciated much.
And once again i'm really sorry for my noob question. I'm totally new to WP7. Usually i play at android section, this is my first WP7 phone, and i'm not really familiar with all the terminology.
ok guys, thanks for spaend your time read my quetion. Thank in advance for any kind of answer.
Regards
I really have no experience with this, but here are some ideas.
Here you will find a rom
