Hi Folks,
My hermes just started to act up all of a sudden this morning.
When i woke up the display was off as usual, and i tried turning it up using the power button. It would not turn on. Hence i restarted that phone...It did come up, but there was no GSM and BT after that.
Also my computer wont recognize it, and give me an error msg saying device not recognized.
I uninstalled and reinstalled ASync, and installed a different OS using SD card method. The phone starts fine (a bit slow), but the radio and BT still does not work.
I tried reloading radio using SD card method, and it stops after about 1/4 way...just stand still there for hrs.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
PS: Radio version, IMEI, Protocol are still in tact
Thanks
Moderators can delete this thread!! I guess lot of people is having this issue in one way or the other..

I just got back from Dubai this morning, and I recieved my first call from the plane. Fine, it worked.... but then...
disaster struck!
The phone has the "no signal" message when I click on the reception icon. I've tried to click the "turn phone off" button but nothing works...
I can't get into the phone settings in the start menu to change networks...
I'm trying to back-up to SD to do a hard reset, but the phone re-boots itself every 4 minutes! The device is also very slow in responding to the commands. E.G. when I place my phone code it takes 3 seconds just to type in the number... strange! I have 48 / 64 MB free in memory and a 256 MB SD card...
I can't connect to activesync because the decive is not being recognized.
I took out the sim card and am using a crappy nokia until I get this deal fixed.
I searched the forum for possible solutions and some came close, but none popped the cherry...
Have any of you experienced this specific situation? Is there anything I can do to recover my data before hard-reseting the Qtek? I made about 30 new contacts on the recent trip and was going to sync when I got home from the airport... but the 1010 keeps passing out on me!! It's like giving a date a full bottle of Crystal Champange before hitting the bedroom... Sucks!
HELP!
Have you tried a soft reset without the sim or sd card in the xda?
From My experience, I faced this situation (very slow response) once when I selected "Calib/Debug" option by mistake from the GSM menu in the bootloader. The only solution was to do select "Reset" from the same menu but more than once. Hope that will work with you.
PS: if you didn't go to the GSM menu, forget what I said ... your problem might have another cause.

It's a long shot, but this could be dirty SIM or SIM contacts.
Ever since I upgraded to the new cingular rom and 1.27 radio, I've had great success with the phone, with a few issues.
1) The radio sometimes doesn't respond to 'hang-up'... I've once had to reset the phone to actually disconnect the call!
2) My SD Card will sometimes show no content. When I go to run a program that is installed to the card, it will not run and I get a 'file may not be signed' error. When I load up a file manager, it shows the directory structure of the card, but, not the files. Removing and re-inserting the card fixes everything and I can go on my merry way. Very annoying.
3) The phone will often not turn itself off. When I set the backlight timeout for 1min, and the power-off to 2mins (battery), I will get the backlight to turn off, but the phone itself doesn't turn off... Even stranger, if the device is doing activesync and I manually push the 'power' button, the device will *turn itself back on* within about 1 second.
Also, I had purchased "Ultimate Theft Alert", and for some strange reason it's decided that I'm using a different phone and runs only in non-registered mode. I'm guessing the change of radio threw off the serial # check. Just a warning for those who have the UTAv3.... Upgrading the radio *will* cause you to need to get a new activation code.
Otherwise, very happy with the new radio, and OS. On another note, the new radio shows 'E' for Edge correctly now (instead of a 'G'). I haven't gone to a 3G area yet to know how to works, but, the radio was upgraded after the OS, and with the old radio, I'd get the 'G', as soon as the new radio was installed, I got an 'E'. So, the radio has something to do with the G, E and 3G graphics.

I have upgraded to the cingular rom and it seem to reformat my sd card, I tried tor recover it.
I have now gone back to the HTC Test rom to see if I get the same issues
Hi
Ive been lurking for a while, about time to have my say! Upgraded to the test rom a couple of days ago and all seems fine. I have experienced the same behavior from my memory card too (1gb sandisk) but a soft reset sorts it. I havent noticed many other differences but everything runs fine, have yet to get things working with my Parrot in car handsfree and gps receiver.
Upgraded last night to the 1.27 radio, so far so good - I am now getting an "H" for hsdpa which is cool. Signal seems about the same as previous (1.18), waiting to see about battery life.
Thanks to all the "experts" that gave me the confidence to do the upgrade via the 1.01 bootloader and saved me from ending up with my radio rom stuck with 1.08!
I just love playing with this thing!
Hi,
School just started today and we have wireless at school, so i tried to connect to the wifi with credentials and so forth.
I have Proven Rom 1.08 and all the other reg stuff on it. Did nothing wrong at all, but soon after trying to connect to the wireless network, the phone restarted and now its in a continuous loop of restarting. It doesnt stop, I have soft resetted the phone multiple times. I dont want to hard reset it right now since I havent backed up anything. Please help me. I dont know what else to do. I have also removed the battery and put it back after a few mins to push me luck.
P.s. When the phone starts, the first screen, The ATT world phone screen comes on, the phone vibrates, and then a blank screen, and the phone restarts.
Well,
I went with the hard reset, removed my mem card and sim. The phone seems to work as before, but I hope I havent stumbled upon an issue that could appear again.
Lost 10+ hours worth of customization
You could check to connect the phone on the pc \; activesync or wmdc
Hello,
I experience a very weird problem with my HD2.
When I want to connect my HD2 to pc then my pc (and other pc's) doesn't recognize my phone, nothing happens. Also my phone isn't giving me the option between "Activesync" "Disk drive" or "Internet sharing". (Altough the option to ask it on connection is turned on under settings). So not an active sync problem I guess. The usb doesn't seems dead because it still charges, on my HD2 the power sign comes up when I connect the usb to pc and the led is on. When I pull it out then the led goes off and the power sign dissapears. But no "data" connection is possible anymore.
Is something broken in my registry? I tried soft resetting several times.
No hard reset yet but I am waiting to do this, maybe someone here knows the answer.
I started experience the problem after I used Tomtom last week ( i used it alot already) . I experienced a problem that my HD2 was stuck in "Carkit mode" thus when someone called me he flipped the screen and putted speaker on. Even when I set it off under settings it. Navipanel was also turned on. I downloaded the hotfix from HTC for Navipanel and now that problem is gone. My phone is again in normal mode when I call or receive calls. BUT the usb data connection doesn't seems to be working anymore .
Someone here knows the magic answer ?
Can you post the Radio version and ROM version you are using?
ROM version : 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
Radio version : 2.06.51.07
Have you ever changed the ROM on your device or is all still origional as you got it from the store?
If origional:
1) bring it back for repair, since its not your fault
2) or install HSPL change your radio and rom
I would just send it for repair when that happens. Specially when its in origional state.
I had this problem once but at the moment i connected the phone through a USB Hub
No it is the official upgrade rom from htc site.
Phone is acting weird also.
Everytime someone is calling it puts the speaker on .
Maybe I try a hard reset for this "fkd up" software?
Would this help?
Hmm did a hard reset and the problem persists.
No usb data connection.
Speaker turns to loud when someone is calling me.
Screen flips sometimes.
Guess it is a hardware problem.
Going to turn it in.
Although I completely agree that your unit is probably on the fritz, take into account that the MicroUSB cable can be the problem as well when it comes to connecting to your pc. I bought some Ebay cables and my phone wouldn't connect properly with those. Charging was no problem.
Yes it is on the fritz i guess.
The problems started suddenly and I also tried another usb cable who was also working fine before.
I managed to get connection yesterday just once after pushing it in the phone and moving it a bit. So I guess the usb input is broken or the motherboard. Guess it is the motherboard because of the other weird problems (when want to call someone the screen turns vertically and puts the speaker on), also when i got called. And this after a fresh hard reset.
Hope they will replace the unit without a hassle.
Hi, everyone. I've seen the other threads and no one had a problem quite like mine.
Yesterday I've upgraded my Alcatel OT-997, ICS 4.0.4. with Kuano's TWRP and now it's:
Alcatel OT-997D, JB 4.1.1. - (details in this thread, 5th post) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981692&page=89
D means I can now use two SIM cards, which is cool.
The problem is the damn thing doesn't charge when it's turned on. It shows the lightning bolt over the battery icon, but in settings shows that charger is not connected. However, when it's turned off it charges, normally. I tried different settings in USB menu: Mass storage, MTP, Camera mode and Charge. Tried with and without Debugging mode. All of those work when connected to a computer in the sense that I can use internal storage, access both SD cards, and so on. But it doesn't charge.
I have tried 3 different cables, 3 wall outlets, and 2 PCs so it's not that. I suppose it's not a hardware problem otherwise it wouldn't charge properly when it's turned off.
So now I use schedule to turn it off before I go to sleep, and to turn on before I wake up, so it would charge while I'm sleeping. Anyone's got any ideas how to fix it?
Bump
Well I solved it with reinstall
Finally I've lost my patience so I tried the only thing that was left.
First I did a backup with TWRP.
Then, factory reset from TWRP.
Then, restore system from One Touch Upgrade 2.8.0 - lost the DUAL capability, software restored to 4.0.4.
Now comes the interesting part. It had the same problem as before, did not charge while on. So I tried a solution I found online a while ago but I never tried when on 4.1.1: Turn it off, connect charger, remove battery, wait a bit, press power button for approx 10 sec (nothing hapens), wait a bit, instert battery, turn it on and there it is. I'm not sure if it was this procedure that did the trick or it simply needed a reboot after update but it worked. It showed "charging" in battery stats.
Finally, restore with TWRP as Kuano explained in his post. Mind you, when I did the restore it was connected to my PC all the time.
Now two things I you should know:
First, before I did all this I connected it to my PC while turned off i.e. (PC - ON, phone - OFF). I noticed this: it was constantly connecting and disconnecting (the "piano chord" notification was coming from the computer speakers every 5 sec) like I was pulling the cable in and out. That is all I know about this, I didn't have the nerves to work on it.
Second, now that it is restored and charging, when I connected it to PC it couldn't change USB setting from Charge to MTP. It reported an error something like "service stopped". This happened only once and I did not try to do it again, I just don't have the energy for any more problem fixing right now. It charges, and I use airdroid for file transfer, that is all I need for now. If and when I get around to take a look at it I'll post here if there's something interesting.
