I have upgraded the ROM to 2.17 from HTC but I want to change the Radio to 1.40. I have downloaded “titan_1.40_radio” but have had no success in completing the install. I keep getting error 262 after it begins the update. It never moves past 0% complete. I then have to remove the battery and restart the device. What am I doing wrong?
If your phone is locked for 2.17 you have to unlock it for the 1.40 radio. I ran that combo and it was a PITA but worth the less problematic radio that came with 2.17. You can always relock the bootloader after you load the new radio.
I have had some problems not receiving calls. I have been in places were someone tried calling me five times in a row before my phone rang and did not go strait to voicemail. My phone was sitting on the table beside be and had been used for a call 15 minuets earlier. I’m just looking to solve this issue. I had heard that 1.40 might solve this problem. Has anyone else experience this problem?

afternoon all, bit of a newbie here but will try and get my problem accross.
I have an orange M3100 with whatever rom that comes with as standard, to make it except a t mobile sim i used the free unlocker from here, version 2. this all worked fine until 2 months later my phone locked up on me and i had to hard reset. this went ok until when it was loading the rom. it got to the orange2006.tsk and always froze. after many many attempts i noticed on the boot screen it said NO GSM. i looked around here and realised i had a corrupt radio or no radio at all. confused i downloaded the radio only 1.35 and installed. finally success my phone loaded the rom which by now i had the xda live 0.20 and the radio worked fine. the problems i am having now are that whenever the phone looses signal, it won't in the conventional sense try and search or show the icon saying no signal. it just shows the last known signal strength before it was lost and then when i do want to make a call or send an sms it says "Phone operation failed" and looses signal and then tries to lock on again. this is extremely annoying as my girlfriend has reminded me on many occassions when trying to contact me, she just cannot get through. it gives her a dead tone.
i have tried flashing the device with the proper orange rom off the site thats from romania or somewhere to get an offical orange radio rom on again and then i flashed to xda live 0.20 and its still doing it.
is my radio just buggered or is there a simple flash solution i can do to fix it.
the phone is currently using XDA live 0.20 with radio 1.35.00.11 and bootloader 1.4 super CID (i think, as i can load any rom on it)
also to point out the phone never did this loosing signal and not changing thing before i had to hard reset.
thanks all and sorry for the long post.
it seems the problems seem to stem from Edge here in the uk on orange. i never saw the E icon before i upgraded the radio shack and now its coming up and errors. i never get the hanging problem with that.
anyone suggest anything? as i know edge is faster gprs i dont think i can disable it
thanks all
Consider changing your radio
I would start by changing to an older stable radio, perhaps 1.27. 1.27 is a very stable radio (in my experience), and it seems very tolerant. If that does not help, I would try to upgrade to the latest radio, 1.38. I am using it with the WM VI Black Ed. ROM without any problems here in the United States.
Good Luck! (Gotta keep the girl friend happy!)
First off, I bought this phone online from a guy in Mississippi, but I live in the East Texas area...The radio stack was 1.54.07 when I started with it. I SIM/CID unlocked it fine, but it downgraded the radio to 1.16.00. I reflashed the radio to 1.54.07 as it was before, but has a issue...all calls have static in the background. Not terribly bad, but very annoying.
Anyone have any idea what radio stack would be best for my area?
Thanks,
GunRunner
Not a definitive answer to that im afraid, try out a few different radios and see how you get on. Do make sure your device has HardSPL installed and that you dont interrupt the flashing process.
Well...I re-flashed it to 1.54.00.10, and so far, it looks good...no static in the background...and no loss of signal strength...
GunRunner
Sweet.. Now you've found a radio you like, STICK WITH IT... The radio rom is the most likely thing to cause a permanent brick when flashing. If it is interrupted while flashing this then you tend to get a corrupted area of memory that CAN'T BE FIXED. You can flash an OS only rom but you won't be able to call or receive calls on your Hermes ever again....
Welcome, and have fun....
Cheers...
I have never before seen anything like this, and honestly it is confusing me to no end.
So here is the problem, I was having a issue a few weeks back where my router kept crashing, after days of trying to figure it out i turned off my phone and wala the problem seized to exist so i assumed it was a problem with the wifi firmware i had on my phone. so until last night i have kept my phone off.
I have since changed routers, and my entire network configuration
I was on Hboot 1.4 s-off with a JB rom.
So last night I flashed back to 1.13 RUU GB sprint stock, then Flashed the stock ICS RUU
when I awoke this morning my whole network was down. and I found out once again it was my phones fault, and from my routers end my phone had garbed 10 IP address's, I'm to the point where I have no clue what to do, because I need my phone, but i need my network working too. any Ideas on whats wrong or how to fix it?

Have you tried flashing a new rom+kernnel?
yes 3 different roms, 3 different kernels
your problem may be hardware then, did the phone fall or got wet? also have u tested id the same problem occurs on someone elses wifi network?
You don't have any network spy apps or torrent apps on, do you?
Hello!
After taking the OTA 3.16 upgrade (S-ON, rooted), I've now got a problem where the phone start rolling to voicemail and not ringing for incoming calls. I've been upgraded now for three days, and it's happened each day. It seems to happen after a few hours of inactivity. A reboot or turning airplane mode on/off will bring the phone back online.
Any thoughts or suggestions as to what might be going on? Any suggestions for trouble shooting tips?
Thanks!
Just an update...I did some testing this morning, where I was calling my phone at regular intervals. After about 3 hours, it stopped ringing and started rolling directly to voicemail.
Try hitting Update profile, if it's still wonky you can always call customer service and they'll guide you through to fix it.
They prolly going to send a "reset signal" (or w/e it's called) and make you enter a few pound-pound commands

Thanks for the reply. I will probably have to call CS. I've already done update profile and PRL, did a battery pull sim, and played with a number of settings, all to no avail.
After further testing, the problem occurs in as little as one hour. Also, making an outgoing call will (in addition to restart and airplane mode on/off) solve the problem for another hour or so.
I have been seeing the same issue. I was at 3.15 when the issue started so I relocked and took the upgrade to 3.16. I am now rooted again with s-off, 3.16 FW, latest MeanBean with the same issue happening from time to time. Profile update as well as the latest PRL have been applied. I am wondering if it could be an issue with the area I am in. I know that sprint was doing some additional tower work for LTE here in the north Plano area where I live.

I'm wondering the same thing now as well. My phone was rolling over early this morning, so I reset it, was going to let it "break", and then this afternoon when I had some time, call CS with it in the rolling-over state. I took the phone with me when I went out for lunch, and then ran some errands. I've been home now for several hours, and the problem hasn't resurfaced. FYI, I'm in south Arlington.
I am on the out of box firmware for the M9. I have gotten TWRP, Root and Badboys rom on my phone but am experiencing a very unusual problem of random Handsfree activations on any rom. I am aware that going onto the latest RUU is very difficult atm due to no S-Off, but I cannot find a solution as to why I am getting this happening. It causes the phone to go through half a set up phase and does a PRL and Profile Update. Are there any fixes or should I get a replacement for my M9? This problem really blows since I did the HTC Champions for my upgrade.
I was told switching sims might help but the new m9 uses a 63.05 sim versus the m8's 53.05 sim card and the site says they are incompatible.
I don't think it's that difficult, there are threads with the RUU and completely stock (x.xx.xxx.15) operating systems available if you need/want to start over from scratch. Assuming your out of the box software was 1.32.651.15

My only other concern was if I updated to the latest firmware, if it would stop the constant sprint updates on a custom rom.
I Would try latest firmware first.
OMJ thinks all you need is to relock for RUU to work.
The RUU has the latest OTA.
I think OMJ mentioned something about Extra HFA's (before OTA).
Let us know how it goes.
it's a known bug on 1.32.651.17...it's fixed on 1.32.651.30...I was having the same issue, very irritating...especially when I was trying to s-off & HFA kept interrupting
I am still facing this problem even after the update. I'm running the latest bad boys rom on the most up to date firmware and rom even with s off I'm still getting this hfa problem
Mine doesn't even seem to want to activate at all. I updated to 1.32.651.30 and it will just sit there at HFA and fail eventually. This is very frustrating because I opened up a phone number to try it out and can't even use this thing. I actually work in wireless and in fact every M9 I've sold (only a few) had a HFA problem which I thought was Sprint's fault, but I guess not. I don't even want to sell them at this point, because when I sell the S6 they activate in like 10 seconds. Ugh.
I'm Wondering if it's a sim issue. Or if getting an international rom would help.
Just got off the phone with tech support and there is now a workaround for this issue until they fix it. What you need to do is go into Mobile Data settings and change the mode to 'CDMA Only' and let it activate, then set it back to 'LTE/CDMA'. Worked for me.
