I have a 8525 that has IPL 1.04 and SPL 2.10 Olipro.
I've tried most of the methods mentioned in the wiki and I still can't get it fixed. Whenever I try to flash the Radio rom (1.54.07.00), I get stuck in the 0% and gives me an error code. According to the wiki, it means fail to connect, but ActiveSync worked?! Now what am I supposed to do to get rid of this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was never able to flas Radio 1.54.07.00. Some one recomended flashing the Official AT&T WM6 Rom to get the radio, then flash back to whatever ROM I was using. That actually worked. In my case I was having my radio dropping signal every so often. Then on sometimes on rest would sho "no GSM" other time not. Now I have "no GSM" all the time and can't flash the Officila AT&T ROM any longer (Hangs at 11%).
But I may have had a dieing radio hardware (my phone was a referb) and it might actuallly work for you. In my case my 8525 is now basically a PDA with wifi.
My final solution: I have a Kaiser (8925) scheduled to arrive today.

Your problem sounds exactly like mine. Mine got hung at 11% as well with official ATT Rom.
My solution? Well, I dumped my 8525 (cancelled account), and got myself a Samsung i760 from Verizon Wireless. I wanted to go with the 8925, but I had to pay more than $300 for upgrading the phone (plus extending contract for 2 more years). As for the i760, I didn't pay a dime. (A friend of mine that works at a authorized dealer hooked me up)

Hi guys,
Upgraded to 1.16 radio - (Tmobile UK ROM)
This kept 'hanging' so upgraded to 1.20 - this failed
Left with NO GSM - followed steps as requested set pass etc.
Still wouldn't upgrade
Tried to put latest ROM on (South african?) this FAILED but installed boot load 1.09 - argh!
BOUGHT (£20) the imei-check to downgrade - this WONT WORK - keep failing!!
Please help - stuck now - phone boots - but has NO GSM all the time...
Please help!!
please attach a usb monitor capture of a full rom upgrade until it fails. Probably will be "cid not allow (255)", but just to make sure.
No T-MOB001 rom exists yet
Did that - thats exactly where it failed!
Is it stuffed? :-(
I don't know, never had one of those with "NO GSM" error on my hands.
Probably as radio is screwed CID is corrupted and you'll not be able to flash a ROM even with your original CID. I think for you the best would be to send it to service centre.
Yeh, thought it may be stuffed! FUnny thing is, when I do a hard reset, it doesn't have the NO GSM, it reports 1.16.0.0, it's as if the T-Mobile customs reset it all. Is there any way of stopping the customs?
Regardless, I have had the phone < a month so I'm ringing customer services to see what they can do - maybe not admit I've tried to upgrade it just yet!!!

I guess by "customs" you mean the Extended Rom, if yes, just do a soft reset before it installs (3 seconds). But I don't think it would do any difference...
Ok- update to problem,
Managed to downgrade from 1.09 to 1.04 of bootloader usining IMEI-CHECK.
Did HARD RESET and plugged in hermes when "press screen to continue" came up (just booted) linked to ACTIVESYNC then ran the software IMEI-CHECK sent me, this connected to hermes and asked for .unl file from imei-check. This 'downgraded' to 1.04 of bootloader.
Then managed to install a 1.13 radio rom - hermes still kept hanging -but I could use phone a little (managed to make 2 calls before a lock up). I was going to re-install another full rom upgrade - I think this may have sorted it, but by this time I had rung T-Mobile support in UK and they agreed to replace unit (I pretended it had gone wrong 'all on its own' hope Karma doesn't catch up with me!)
I THINK I would have managed to sort this using the solution from IMEI-CHECK and this forum by reapplying another full ROM upgrade. So thanks to everyone for their help! Hope this is of some use to someone!
Hi There,
I've had my TyTN for about 5 months now and love it.
I upgraded to v1.35 (south african version) when it first came out and noticed a significant improvement over the original ROM. Last weekend I started having problems with my radio and noticed a "No GSM" message on the boot screen (where the radio version would normally appear). After reading up on the message, I determined that my radio had, somehow, become corrupted. I tried to re-install the v1.35 ROM but the problem persisted so, I tried to image the 2.05 ROM with no difference.
I've exhausted all my options and now turn to you to see if someone can help.
I'm at SPL 1.09 (FYI... I bought the unlocker from imei-check so I could downgrade to SPL 1.04 but it won't install).
Can anyone offer some additional insight/recommendations so I can get my TyTN back up and running?
Thanks!
Dan.
It might actually be a bad SIM. If it was just working and it went south without you changing anything then its SIM or hardware IMO.
Hmm. I'm pretty sure the SIM is okay because I popped it back in my 2125 Smartphone when my TyTN failed and my 2125 is working fine.
Hardware will be harder to diagnose, though... Any suggestions on how to narrow it down to hardware?
Thanks,
Dan.
Hello everyone!
I recently upgraded my Cingular 8125 (G4 version) to WM6 Farias edition. I've also installed the radio rom version 02.61.11 but noticed that at times call do not come in and when voicemails are left i do not get a notification. Dont know if its due to the radio version i'm running so i decided to ask the rest of Cingular 8125 users to see if they have a radio rom that may be more stable.
I also noticed that GRPS disconnects when a call comes in and it re-connects when the call its released. I've heard of certain radio roms that actually stay connected while the phone its been used... anyone knows which one will that be?
Thanks in advance!

The T-Mobile 2.19 radio is the one that most use to alleviate missed calls/voicemails. The newer ones have benefits to signal aquisition and signal strength over this and stock radios, but what good does that do you if the calls and voicemails dont come through
There are some on Cingular in the US that have radios above 2.19 working with no issues but they seem to be few and far between.
I have also not had any issues at all with the 2.61 radio with Faria's rom in my signature. How well it works with other roms I don't know as I haven't flashed my wizard since I flashed that combination on it. My wife uses it now and has had no call issues.
Thanks Zzan!
I downloaded the tmobile 02.19.11 radio and tried to flash my phone with it but got the following error message:
ERROR [300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This update utility cannot be used for yoru PDA phone. Please get newer update utility.
I've gotten several replies from other Cingular 8125 users who like you have told me it'll fix my sms/voicemail problem.
I just tried installing Cingular_2.25.11_Radinly.zip and i got the same error message:
ERROR [300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This update utility cannot be used for yoru PDA phone. Please get newer update utility.
I'm loving WM6 but the fact that some calls dont come in and I have to continously keep checking my voicemails to see if new vm came in pretty much sucks.... I'm considering going back to the stock rom since i cant get neither radio version to work on my phone...

Have you tried running it from more than one computer? I have seen where this works for some people. Also try a soft reset of the phone and a reboot of the pc before attempting. If that doesn't work you can try booting straight to the bootloader then kicking off the install once you see USB in the corner. In any case you should be fine on WM6 if you can get the 2.19 radio to flash.
I just tried another PC here at work. I installed MS Activesinc 4.5 and tried flashing it with 2.19.11 but same error message.
I'll continue to try and post any progress (if any) LOL
I"m going to try reseting the phone and restarting the pc now.
Thanks for helping me out giving other suggestions.
Will V.
Done deal!!!
Finally got it to Flash using the Tmobile UK 02.19.11 version.
I replaced the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe with the one included in the WM6 Faria Step 4 folder.
Ran the update utility and it flashed the phone without a problem.
Time to test it but i've gotten several replies stating that it should be a lot more stable than the one i had.
Thanks again and hope the info above could help other users having the same problem.
brother.... So i have the same issue with my 8125 ..G4 with wm6...missed call and no notification for voicemail...
tried radio 2.69 farias ..still no use...
Have u been able to resolve it? please help me...Let me install the Tmobile UK 2.19 radio now....
please advice.....
Hello all,
I Eb'd an HTC wizard (cingular 8125) running Wizard Love/NBD WM 6.
On the load screen I get:
AKU 2.3;
IPL and SPL:2.25.0001;
radio:2.25.11;
rom: 6.0.0.0.
My carrier is Tmobile.
Question 1: If my phone has this newer ROM and it takes calls on the Tmobile network it has been CID unlocked and SIM unlocked...right?
I wanna update my rom and think that I am competent enough to do so but there is alot to learn and this is not my full time gig...right.
Question 2: So, if I am correct in Q1 I should be able to flash roms right?
However when I attempt to do so the RUU gives me [error 224]. Active sync and or WMDC says its connected. (I installed the AS drivers in WMDC)
Question 3: Where do I go from here?
Question 4: The wi-fi is currently not working will a new rom potentially clear this up?
Thanks in advance for the time and advice..
grazie
hmmmm,
Well,did you updated to NBD wm6 yourself ? and how did you updated ? which method you adopted ? SoftSPL or HardSPL ?
You say its SIM unlocked as it takes calls on the Tmobile network .Did you SIM unlocked with lokiwiz03a ?
yes ! a G4 can be SIM unlocked but it can not be CID unlocked,however,it can be upgraded to wm6 rom,but with method either 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL'.With your present ipl/spl 2.25.0001 and you say its NBD wm6 running,then it must have been upgraded through 'SoftSPL' method,as it uses patched ipl/spl and Cid unlocks the phone temporarily,but it never permanently CID unlocks the phone.But with 'HardSPL' ,it changes the ipl/spl to a patched ipl 2.21.0001 and spl 2.21 olip.So everytime you want to upgrade,you'll have to upgrade using 'SoftSPL' method.
could you elaborate a little more about this.
Cheers!
Hey thanks for the correspondence zabardast_1, I have been getting frustrated and I have many times contemplated going for the brick or bust approach here.
So, I have done none of the updating on this rig. I rec'd it and I wanted it primarily for wifi however I can't get the wifi card/ (sdiowlan I believe) to even recognize an AP (... I posted in the networking forum but no response.) Thus my own reasoning leads me to believe I should start from scratch with a new rom unless you know of something else.
So, I am not the most savvy and thought that all of the info I had led to SIM and CID unlocked. I just read otherwise last night and in your reply. The info I have provided is accurate the IPL, SPL, radio, although I don't know which NBD release it is; just says 6.0.0.0 and release date: 2/2/07.
I am trying to get the new rom on the my device however and I would've probably already bricked it if I could get an RUU to communicate with my wiz. I always get [Error 224] when I run it and my phone is connected through active sync. I am running vista but have installed the AS drivers for WMDC. I also tried it at work the other day with XP same situ. I then tried flashing from the bootloader screen with an NBD, Wizard Love ( w/ Italian installer?), and T-mob (226102_22610105_022511). The only one that says it will update is the Tmob ROM, however I got cold feet at the update button and canceled.
Other funny stuff I have observed that may or may not be related to the problems I am having are:
Can't install cab files ie (enable rapi or Cert SPCS) and Wiz Sys Tools couldn't read my CID block and hard_SPL G4 gives me REXX error ( SPL_Version has no value).
So, any wizdom you or anybody can drop is much appreciated and needed at this point.
Whew...
Listen carefully. G4 Wizard cannot be CID-unlocked without paying money. (And yes, you are using a G4).
What you need now is to Flash your original stock carrier ROM (Or wizard love) to get your OS back. Then either use SoftSPL or install HardSPL and flash WM6 ROM.
Thanks Starkwong,
I will try installing wizard love tomorrow at work and if that don't work I will attempt a Cing ROM (will all of these work or do I need to mind my G3's and G4's for these???)
Grazie
So, It worked using Wizard Love at work and out of the bootloader window. Now I need to:
1.) Get wifi working.
2.) Get a newer ROM
I put a post up in the networking thread, I am a tool so far as these devices are concerned so be easy on me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372811
So do I get the wifi issue resolved before I reflash???
Thx again
I don't know what you mean by "wifi not working".
Maybe it is the wifi AP doesn't allow 11Mbps (802.11b) connections?
However, going to any of the WM6 ROMs should already set the registry to allow Wizard connects to G-Only APs. Just use HardSPL/SoftSPL and flash a WM6 and you will see.
OK so "wifi not working" may indeed be a general statement...
What I mean to say is that I am not able to connect to any wireless networks for internet not home (Linksys WRT 54G v5 with ddwrt firmware) or school (university wide) or my city's wifi network. It won't even detect them at least none that Ive seen since I've rec'd this phone. So, that is what I meant by the ambiguous statement.
So, being as your last post was a success I will try as you say and post the results tomorrow. Thanks again starkwong!!!
1 quick thing however, to be sure, I can now try the hard spl or soft spl method of tricking my phone to run an upgrade to WM6?
Still not able to get wifi APs????
OK although I have been successful at reinstalling the Mfg ROM and then Hard SPL'ing my wizard thanks to ya'll I still am unable to connect to a wireless network (see one even). I have the Olip on my SPL and I installed a TNT version of WM6 and I am still at work (drunk but still here). Anyway I can't see my wireless AP and I am beginning to think its a hardware issue if thats possible, i dunno the dynamics of this system maybe thats why it was for sale. In any event as usual I am willing to try what ever you guys throw at me as you're my only hope obi wan. Alright Im gonna go home for the night and try getting on to my home network.
Thanks again for all the help guys.
Is your device a original one from phone operator? I suspect your device is a China Dopod 838 with replaced casing, because the China version has the wifi hardware removed, so wifi can't be started even if an English ROM is used.
Looks to be authentic 8125
Starkwong, the Cingular logo and the 8125 model # are on the phone case where they have been when I've seen them before in pics. Therfore, I dunno I guess it looks like every other 8125 I've seen. Can I check the SN, IME or anything to be sure?
Thanks Again!!!
Starkwong,
I am getting all the options for wifi on my phone the LHS LED flashes green when I enable it and alternates blue green when BT is enabled. So, could it still be that its a dupod? I dunno but I am going home for the night... Thanks for your help. I will try connecting to my home network when I get there.
Hi eveyone
i m using Imate Jasjam (hermes100). i am having a problem with network signals. its just network shows dummy signals. cant make or receive calls.
it all happened when i upgraded it to WM6. i used Hard SPL v9. the rom upgrade was ok. except that it stuck at 100% and gave a message to recover. but the rom upgrade become successful. after that i was having issue of this annoying radio prob. i used radio 1.54.30.10 after that i m using 1.54.07.00. but no change is noticed.
when the radio stops working, i change the 3G setting at Comm manager to auto mode than to GSM mode an it failed to register to network and showed "No service"
Imate Jasjam (Hermes 100)
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.60 Olipro
HardSPL v9
OS Schap's WM6 pro 4.31 full
This is a very well documented problem with hermes. More and more people are starting to have this problem now.
I had the same problem and I got a new phone under warranty.
Most likely it is a radio hardware problem and probably you will need to have the motherboard changed.
If phone is still under warranty, just get it repaired by HTC. If not then you are probably out of luck.
My 2 cents
Help needed!!!
that is very odd.
my hermes is working perfectly ok except the radio. it has never been bricked. i have flashed it many times. tried all versions of Hard SPL. tried many roms. tried many radio roms. everything installs to the last dip.
but still no success regarding radio signal problem.
i have noticed that when one sim stops showing network, i put other sim having other network coberage and it works. but jus for 10 to 12 hours. after that i have to change it back. and it works for 10 hours. but it really getting me on my nerve
please share if helpful to me.
PLEASE ADVISE ME if i get my Hermes fixed by changing its mother board, should i go for WM6 and newer radio or not.
thanks
