No matter what radio I upgrade to I have no service on my 8525, some radio roms even say no service even when the sim card isn't in. other roms just continually search and then eventually say no service. It is not the sim card, it works perfectly in my other cingular phones, and my device is unlocked anyways.
Does anyone know what the problem could be and how I would fix it? it is not the OS rom, it happens with both WM5 and WM6, everything else works with the phone, well actually my microphone wasn't working for cellular calls (when i still could make them) it would only work for the voice recorder
when I used the check image command in mtty, i got this
Cmd>checkimage
IPL CRC checksum = 0x50C4A5F0
SPL CRC checksum = 0xC27E0E42
CE CRC checksum = 0xF21F01B9
ExtROM CRC checksum = 0xB924B6BA
Radio Image CRC checksum = 0xB845CC64
Cmd>
BTW, why does it say Cmd instead of usb, what does this mean?
I got the same CRC in my Radio (version is 1.51.00.10):
IPL CRC checksum = 0x80C8FEE6
SPL CRC checksum = 0x327DEB48
CE CRC checksum = 0xE6F4D57A
ExtROM CRC checksum = 0xA9AB06C9
Radio Image CRC checksum = 0xB845CC64
And I got no problems with SIM. Maybe it's a hardware related problem (antenna or something like this).
When you flash a radio rom, does it change everything that has to do with the cellular connection? or could something have been changed that wasn't supposed to be like how people were losing their wifi because the eeprom chip was getting erased due to OS flashing
Iv'e given up, i've flashed countless radios, and they all say no service, even when there is a sim card in it, and for some reason it doesnt even say when there isn't a sim card in there. Does anyone want to buy it off me?

Scratch that, how about I pay the first person that helps me to fix it on my own $30 via paypal, and you will help me over AIM (---------), so no one can "copy" someone else.
It seems that the only radio that recognizes when I do and do not have a sim in is the 1.16 one, and even then it has no service, although it ocassionaly searches, only to say no service once again.
Also, Sim Manager, and the Phone under settings will not open
Check with your provider that the IMEI of your phone has not been blocked. You should test this with a sim card from another network, but also it's worth phoning up your provider and asking them to check if your IMEI has been blocked as it doesn't propagate to all networks instantly.
This happened to me with similar symptoms, fortunately it occurred as a mistake of T-Mobile when they were blocking the current phone of the person who owned my phone originally.
my radio too would not connect.
also my mtty.exe would not connect,
i put the phone in bootloader mode and open mmty.exe, select US to connect but get error says "usb port can not open"?
I have a white Softbank X01HT version of Hermes.
Since the OS is Japanese i cannot read but i am a WM user already so i could find my way through.
I turned it on and did not let the ext rom install, also Also, i ran the Hermes Unlocker V3a.
It said Unlocked SIM and Cuper CID unlocked.
Also, i checked the Windows folder on the device and could not see a file names upd.log, so i assume
the ext rom did not install.
Now i put my sim it does not ask for an Unlock code so i guess phone's unlocked. But i got an USIM screen
asking for passsword i guess in japanese, which i think is the vodafone software lock, so to remove it i ran
the file from imei-check.co.uk and i think it worked although my phone had frozen showing a large unlock icon
on screen, so i soft reset and this time i dont see the usim screen again with my non vodafone sim inserted.
But neither does it get a gsm signal, all i could see is an "exclamation !" sign besides the signal icon.
I then did the HardSPL v7 Flashing and then upgraded my radio to 1.43, still no luck with GSM signal.
What to do?
Shall i flash to a English ROM? if yes then which one?
Plss help.
Thanks,
Michelle
I put in a t-mobile sim, and its recognized, and I get a couple of bars, however if i turn off the radio it will not let me turn it back on, and sometimes, randomly i will get no service, normally where i have full bars.
also, i have to softreset the phone to get a signal no matter how long i wait
Radio Worked Now
Okay i was not sure what it was but i ran the Hermes Unlocker like 3 times and on the third attempt it worked, now i can see radio signals and make/recv. calls.
Wonder what caused this, may be i made some mistake running the unlocker first time around but even then phone should have asked me for an unlock code if sim unlock did not happen, but i am happy it works now.
But i dont think it would help you cos yours i guess is an 8525 and you are on ATT network so you dont require unlocking, but no harm in trying if you wish.
How do you usee mtty.exe?
would not connect for me - i put the phone in bootloader mode and open mmty.exe, select US to connect but get error says "usb port can not open"?
Can you write me the steps for this pls?
I just want to know what my Boot loader version is.
Even though you have bars on T-Mo, make sure you can make calls etc - when my IMEI was blocked, o2 would report no service, but T-Mobile gave me a signal. However, I could not make calls on text with the T-Mo sim despite having signal.

I wish it fixed the problem, I have to turn my phone off during school, and its a hassle to have to reset it every time I lose service, and after i turn the radio off. Also I called cingular and they did not block my IMEI, and I tried a different cingular sim and it didn't work. Thats very odd, maybe it has something to do with the band.
This seems hopeless. Does anyone have an estimate of how much it would cost to have HTC repair my phone?

Anyone solved this as i am having a simalur problem
Nope not yet. I'm going to try and run the unlocket a couple of more times
Hi,
I got a problem and is that for some reason after installing Voip programs I see that my username on my device information is different that the one it should be. This is making the phone not connect to sprint.
Is theres a way to fix this?
I have tried changing to different roms and right now i have installed the stock sprint rom to see if would of went back to normal, but the wrong username is still there.
Will apreciate the help
Ok sprint fix it for me by phone.
Hello everyone. I have one Hero100. I have the code for unlock but the phone has failed to unlock. It's locked on orange. When I enter the code , I get no service on the screen. and when I restart it, it asks for the unlock code again. How can I go about this? Its a bit strange.
sounds like orange gave you an incorrect code...
you have put a NON-orange sim in when you try this, yes?
if it fails again, go back to orange and ask for the correct code, as they have the wrong one.
The code is working. When I put the Code I get a successful msg but it wont pick up the network and also when it restarts it asks folr the code again.
The same
I have got the same problem.
I have got that unlock number but after unlocking phone, there is no range at all and info 'no service', but i am able to use 'Sim Toolkit'.
Where is a problem???
hi i'm having the same problem code is gud and it works but after that it says no servic. and when i restart or put any other sim again and turn on the phone it again asks for the code . whats wrong plz
I think not so many people have seen this phone.
I am also having this issue. Simlocked to Orange got my code and put it in and it was successful then it just stays on the 'unlocking sim' screen.
Been using HTC with windows mobile for years but decided to try android. Am I doign something wrong as I cant seem to access any phone fucntionality without putting a sim in then I get this problem we are having.
On a WM device you would still be able to access everything without having a sim in- just using it n PDA mode
, I am having the exact same problem. I have a HTC hero from orange as my contract phone. I have bought the unlock code from from swift unlock (ebay) and entered the code when prompted. The phone says the network is unlocked but the I can't get any network service, and if toggled the flight mode on and off or switched the phone off and on it will ask for the code again. If I put the orange sim in everything is back to normal. I even tried to hard reset the phone and have a fresh start while the unsupported sim is inserted but the same happens again with the addition of a message "unlocking sim". I thought the code was wrong or something, so I got the code again this time from a high street shop and it was the same code. So nothing is wrong with code itself. The guy at the shop told me that he has great problems with unlocking this phone as some seem to accept the code without any problems and others have this no service issue and he doesn't know the reason for it. I am thinking of flashing a new firmware and radio and see what happens, but this will be probably tomorrow. Sorry for my long post, but I wanted you to know that there is nothing wrong with code itself.
Yeah I dont think there is a problem with my code either. Im new to android but have been a winmo user for years, I havent rooted my Hero yet (only got it today) but that was going to be what I try next: root then network unlock.
Let us know what happens when you flash yours.
Possible Solution
When i unlocked my phone i thought the exact same thing, that it hadn't worked - it said no network, something something about my sim, etc. Later on though, I went outside and it was working. Unbelieveable i thought. Turns out when your in an area with no reception (my house) the Hero decides to boldly make sure you know that it's not getting any signal by giving you big scary messages
So once you've entered the unlock code, let it load up the UI fully, turn phone off, and then turn on again and put it somewhere you definately get a recpetion
Anyway this might answer your problems, then again might not.
Thanks for the suggestion but I dont think that is the problem in my case as I do get reception. Although for me once I have put the unlock could it it says success (or whatever) then goes to saying 'unlocking sim' it doesn't atually load up any interface.
Out of intereset where did you (all) your get your unlock code? I got mine from Unlock Now, anyone else got a code from them and can confirm it works?
Hi, I have flashed the new modaco 2.2 rom, and inserted the unsupported sim, but sadly with the same exact result "no service". I then flashed the latest radio from modaco, and repeated the steps but this time after the first time you put your unlock code it will say "no service as usual" but if you try to toggle flight mode on and off the phone will prompt for the code again and then it will greet you with a no sim is inserted or so, so it seems with the new radio the phone doesn't even detect your sim. If I put the orange sim everything is back to normal again even with the new radio.
Ok, this is a real noob question but im pretty stuck right now.
Ive successfully flashed roms on the touch diamond in the past, but this is getting the better of me.
My phone was on orange contract. Not sure if that makes any odds, but it wasnt unlocked from that network either.... (which wasnt a problem for me, I intended to use it with Orange anyway).
I flashed:
ROM_TG01_Clone_D2_6.1.21056_WWE.7z to the TG01.
Great. All fires up. But no radio at all. Nada, nothing.
So I downloaded the radio files, did the whole rename to orginal.tsw and changed the radio versions, hoping to find one that worked.
Again, nothing. Just keeps searching constantly for a network and I cant access the network settings for the phone.
So I reflashed back to a standard Orange UK rom in the hope that radio would be restored.
It possibly has, I dont know, because now the phone is locked with "enter sim unlock code". This isnt the standard sim lock code I use on my phone normally. Im guessing its the network unlock code.
I really want to get the HTC feel on the TG01. Tsunagi is perfect, if only I can get the radio working.
Any help please for a noob....

which radio did you try flashing?
the new ones are built with a new IMGFs structure, which doesnt fit well with the kitchen etc... perhaps a bad flash? dont forget to hard reset after a flash!

I always had trouble using Miros radio changing kitchen out of the box, so i reverted to using tgtool and the radio file to change radio, doing it manually always seemed to work for me. I successfully changed the radio on that rom to 0321, so i know its possible.

Thanks both you guys, but i'm still no better off. Did what you suggested "insertnamehere", but its odd... I get the familiar imgfs signature not found where expected error, do not use....
Is it possible to brick only the radio side of things??? Ive yet to find an OS Rom that has a built in radio that functions at all.... let alone changing it....
Totally confused now.
I will persevere, its actually an old phone my mum is interested in using, but the generic tosh menu is a load of well, tosh, and I thought the HTC variant would be easier for her to get to grips with.
Bloody phones!!
Thanks for the pointers anyway. I will continue....
I would add to that, Ive just tried another ROM that lets me see more info under the "about phone" menu. In software information, Radio version, Protocol version and ROM date are all empty.... makes me think there really is no radio installed....
Would a locked phone do this...? do I need to unlock from orange before attempting a mod?

This is very strange, makes me think your device has a hardware problem. What happens if you flash back to Orange stock rom and master clear?
Ive reflashed the main orange rom, without the SIM I access the main system no problem, but cant see any networks (since theres no sim)...
With the SIM in I get, "Phone is blocked. Enter password to disable SIM lock."
So I cant tell if theres radio there in any case.
Catch22?

Sounds to me like a simlock, unless you put in the right network sim, you won;t get any network until its unlocked.
Yeah, I thought that too. But its an orange phone, orange sim card and I have no idea why its coming up. My last resort is to purchase the unblocking code from orange...

Please someone help me, I dont know if this post is allowed here or where to put it. Im just desperately needing a help..
I've flashed my rom, everything is fine. I found the right rom for my device.. Everything is working fine except the sim card.. The problem is, my phone is detecting my sim, but I dont have "signal bars logo" in upper right and my Sim Management is grayed out.. I cant access Sim toolkit too.
I got my Imei number and its not "null" or "invalid".
I just dont know why theres no network.. :'(
Or this problem, when i tried wiping the data and cache using recovery mode, the samsung logo is vanished and the phone are able to detect the sim card, but since the imei number is "null" or "invalid", I dont have signal. So i tried restoring my imei and everything is fine. I got signal.
But the problem is, When i switch the data on, Im only getting an Edge signal(E) and not WCDMA(H). When i tried to change the setting by making it "WCDMA only", my signal lost.
Its like, the phone lost its capability of having a 3G signal.. How to fix this problem?
Please, someone help me. Ive already spent 3 days of searching but still no solution.. Please please someone help..
See my device's info below, and if ever someone knows or someone has same rom of my device, please send me a download link..
Thanks in advance!
Heres the screenshot and see, I dont have signal and sim management is grey and cant open..
