I have siemens SX56 I was on AT&T. I unlocked it signed up for CIngular. Phone works fine cant get on internet. Cingular is 850/1900. When go to GSM band program it says error. I did the hold down button and soft reset to toggle it to 1900 but it wont take it. It is stuck 0n 900. I am ROM 3.17.03
ROM DATE 05/15/03
RADIO VERSION A.33.02
PROTOCOL VERSION 1.3.3
PW10A1
Is this why I cant get on internet? Can someone help me out? Am I stuck with a phone that wont get on the Cingular internet? Thanks
I am a dumb blonde trying real hard to get this thing going and I am slowing losing my mind!
And it said 'Error" please re run the upgrade, but verything is workine fine and the device show I have rado 1.16?? Any ideas?
I thought I read in the upgrade writeup that the error display was normal. I guess if your phone works, I'd not worry about it...
yes, it is "normal" and it is written on the upgrade instructions as well.
Radio 1.16 flash info
If you run the Radio 1.16 upgrade correctly, you'll see the 1.16 version listed in Device Information on your mobile.
The key is to go into bootloader mode first, next connect to usb, & then run the upgrade progy. The flash will take about 20 minutes. It will indicate an error, but after the flash is completed. If you got an error before the flash, then you didn't get the upgrade.
how do you update just the radio for tytn, i thought you could only update the full rom image and not pieces of it like the radio???
Read the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
my upgrade fails after about 4 min. and the radio is not upgraded (1.13 signular) to1.16 Cingular).
I would be interested to know how many can upgrade successfully.
If you are on radio 1.13 cingular, means you're using cingular rom 1.31 with bootloader 1.06, for this radio upgrades to work you need bootloader 1.04.

Hi. I ve upgraded to radio 1.16. My provider is Movistar. Now i only get gprs speed althought i am connected with umts. Is this normal?
I am geting UMTS speeds with Movistar (prepaid card) in Barcelona, but no HSDPA. Where are you located?
In Madrid...Now reflashing dopod version. Here there isnt hsdpa speed althought Movistar say it is activated so now i am moving to vodafone....
I did move from Amena to Voda in august for the same reason
Good luck!
What about your feelings with vodafone hsdpa?
Is not as good as I expected initially... I have decent speed at work, in downtown (~700kbps) and icon shows and 4 coverage bars.
But at home (eixample area), I have and 3-4 coverage bars and I am only getting UMTS speed (~300kbps).
Maximum I have seen is (~1100kbps) in Fira de Barcelona, the place where it was 3GSM last year.
For the tests I use the following pages:
http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/
http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed
Usually dslreports shows the truth, and bandwidthplace reports a little bit more than the reality.
BTW, I haven't noticed any speed or coverage improvements after the 1.16 radio upgrade, only that it is faster switching on and off the flight mode to switch SIMs (I use the dual sim adaptor), and probably that I hear a bit louder than before the other party when I am on a call.
I recently loaded the xda developers ver. 1.2 rom to unlock the sim, seemed to work but later found that the phone was not functioning after 5 mins., a soft reset gets it going again, but then stops again after a few mins. This has happened to all three phones I used this program on. Can anyone help me fix this? PLEASE HELP!!!!! Contact me at [email protected]
What do you mean with "not functioning"?
Have you installed additonal software or just the ROM 1.2 ?
Stefan
By not functioning, I mean that no calls or text messages are received or sent after a few minutes of sitting. I have not installed any other software with it.
did you install a radiostack along with the rom if so
and you did a 900/1800 radiostack on a 900/1900 device
or the other way around you should reflash the right radio stack
if not you can try choosing the right band in the bootloader
I did not change the radio stack, the rom 3.17.00, radio version 6.12 . I have set to 1900 with bootloader, still same problem. FIDO in Vancouver, canada. got any suggestions? the sticker says its a pw10b1
I have a Hermes 300, it was bought second handed, and had a problem of blocking the password for acessing the PDA sayng it was wrong all the time, even whem right...
I upgraded SPL to 2.10.Olipro and installed schap´s WM6 3.54 ROM, it all atays the same.
I have also a problem of GSM service. The PIN never shows up so I can´t connect to GSM service.
Can anyone please help me on this one?!
I´ve installed a new Radio Rom with Actuvesync and SSPL and sometimes it works on GSM sometimes it doesnt work....
Sometimes I have the No GSM sign too.
Well,
recently I've bought 8525.
But I live outside US so i needed to unlock my device.
I've downloaded "HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a"
and have flashed my 8525 using an microSD card.
Everything went OK, then after flashing I've launched unlocker .exe. on my device and ulocked SIM and CID.
Then I've placed my SIM-card but it won't search for any network (It continues to search and search.
What should I do in this matter?
I'm running MS Vista, so I'd be glad if U suggest me to flash using an micriSD card.
Thanks.
Please help me to get out of this case.
Edit:
I've just flashed radio 1.54.30.10 using SPL 1.40 Olipro, IPL 1.1
with no luck at all.
Help me somebody.
Still searchs and searchs network, but doesn't register on network.
Same problem (NO GSM) I'm Vietnam !
I Have same problem ! now i flashed SPL-2.10.olipro and try again with Unlock v3.exe but not progress !And i check my phone at Device Infor i cannot see IMEI (IMEI: [Emty])
AT&T 8525
I have same problem no radio no gsm no imei, try everything still same result. Can anybody help.
ONLY thing to try is to either install ORIGINAL SHIPPED STOCK ROM or the ORIGINAL SHIPPED RADIO ROM. Doing anything else may permanently brick your device. This is not guaranteed to work as the radio rom is a cantankerous SOB and seems to be the achilles heel of the Hermes. In laymen's terms, radio dead, not recoverable in most cases...
Good luck...
I'm not saying its impossible but then I believe if you jump off a cliff and try REALLY hard you might actually miss the ground...
