Appologize for posting the thread twice... I wasn't sure if this goes to the Hermes or the Herald forum...
Hello All,
I recently got an ATT 8525 and I'm trying to use it with my T-Mobile (US) SIM. I was able to successfully unlock the SIM and CID with an util/rom I found on this site (I think the post was from Pof). And I also re-flashed the phone with the latest ROM available.
But after about 5-10mins of usage the signal dies and when I reboot it says No GSM. Looks like the Radio ROM gets corrupted. I tried just re-flashing the Radio ROM and that doesn't help either. It works for short while and again the signal dies.
And also, I'm unable to install any of the generic ROMs (Fantastic Mobiz, PVET 40005) Although I'm connected to Active Sync when I run the Step 1 (ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe), I get a ERROR [222] : DEVICE NOT RESPONDING. And when I run the step 2 directly (update_rom.bat) I get an cannot update itsutils.dll maybe in use error.
As you can tell I've been messing with phone a lot for a couple of days with no luck and my frustration level is kinda high
As of now here’s where I stand. I re-flashed the phone (Image: 3.62, Radio 1.50) and it’s on the “Tap the screen to set up your windows based mobile device” screen. I plan on leaving it on this screen until I can a good solution.
I would like to get rid of the ATT ROM and install one of those hybrid generic ROM that is not Carrier specific. Any help will be much appreciated. Share your ideas, I’m very experimental
Phone Details…
ATT 8525
HERM100
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 1.40.0 lipro
ok ur going all over the map here.. did u hardspl first? also pvet 40005 isnt a hermes rom.. um try hardspl first THEN flash to a new rom maybe once you successfully do that then try a new 3.62 rom.. i run austinsync buts its naked..just like i like my women. ha. but if ur looking for a full blown try fun_key's rom or blinkys.. these arent carrier dependent
hey man jakeypoo, Thanks for your reply. I kinda figured that I was all over the map.
Okay first appologize my ignorance. What is a HardSPL? I did a search on this forum and I found Hard-SPL-V7.zip. Is this a good version to use? Also when I run the exe, All options are grayed out except for "Force Using SSPL" and "Is it Hard-SPL". What do I select.
Thanks!
Hardspl v7 is the latest version out there, its the one for you to use so that you're safe from future mishaps.
I also have an 8525 on T-mobile... so no worries.
Hope this helps.

still problems (no gsm)
Thanks whistler4ever. That link was really a great help.
Here's what I did...
1. Installed the Hard SPL version 6
2. Installed the latest ATT ROM (ver 3.62 radio: 1.54) I had to do this because the radio on the phone was corrupt (says "no GSM" on the start screen) and couldn't install just the radio rom. kept giving connection errors.
3. Installed Schap's WM6 Pro 3.57 hoping this would get ride of the ATT ROM and my intial problem (no GSM) will go away.
Everything was fine for like 15 mins, then my phone just froze. I reboot the phone and sure enough the radio ROM was gone (no gsm). ;(
Running out of ideas.
1. Could this problem be because I'm using a TMobile SIM on a ATT's radio ROM?
2. Is the radio ROM specific to the phone type and provider(ATT, TMO..)? Is there a generic WM 6 radio rom? If yes, where can I find the latest version?
3. Any bright ideas?
Thanks again!
Current phone details...
ATT 8525
HERM100
IPL: 1.04
SPL: 2.10
ROM 3.62
Radio: no gsm
I was able to flash just the radio ROM - version 1.51. But again after a few hours the Radio got currupted. I also tried to follow the instruction ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems#problem5 ) to use the mtty.exe utility, but I don't get a USB prompt. I get Cmd prompt and if I still enter the password, it says invalid password. please help!!!
And how do I do the USB monitor capture? I could post more details that way. I'm using my girl friend's old razr now and it's painful!
I have used my t-mobile sim on AT&T rom's and other roms with no problem. I would try going back to a factory rom and then changing back to a cooked rom just to confirm its all a clean install. also, try downgrading your radio to a 1.47 or 1.48 (those have been proved pretty reliable across many cell providers).
Thanks Whistler. I'm going to start with the 1.48 version and if that doesn't work I'll try the 1.47 version. Not giving up on this.
I found 1.47 to work very well with t-mobile even when traveling...
Thanks Galaxys. I just installed the 1.47 radio. I have fully signal and the 'E', but I can't receive or make calls.
It almost looks like my TMO SIM is not compatible with the 8525. It always works for the first few minutes after an install and then stops working.
I'm very certain the phone is in good condition.
Should I try an older radio version.. like a 1.24 or something ?
Can I install just the tmobile radio rom?
I'm also going to install TNT 2.0 pro so I have the exact same set up as you and see if that makes a difference.
no luck!!!
wow... after all this time and effort still no luck. There's got to be something very basic that I'm not doing right. Senior members any help???
I have spent a lot of time reading the wiki pages and dead hermes thread. Tried out a lot of suggestions listed.

Sounds like your doing everything right, because your flashed rom, radio, and Edge network are all functional. Since only the GSM calls don't work, I would go back to Tmobile and get a a new Sim card installed (they should do this for nothing & test it while at the store).
Also, if U got this device on ebay your IMEI could be blocked. see this thread:

a-h-t1 - The first 2 steps went through fine. While I install the radio ROM as part of step 3, the installation doesn't go past 0%
I'm going try Junner2003 idea now. I'll keep everyone posted on my progress.

Hi Junner2003,
I was trying to istall the UK Tmo ROM you suggested and it stops always at 11%. I've had this problem with other ROMs as well (12%) but after a few tries the installatons goes past it, but real slow. Any ideas?
Thanks for sending me the links... very helpful!

Hi Galaxys,
I don't think the IMEI is blocked. Or maybe it is, how do I find out? I don't have any of the symptons listed on the link you sent (don't hear the beeps or anything).
I originally had a T-Mobile wing. The LCD screen cracked (don't know how). And ofcourse TMo won't replace it.

I got 8525 from my company. It's almost new. Only used for a day on an AT&T SIM. This phone is free, and so I really don't have much to lose... so all out experimenting
Tried insalling from the micro card, even that stops while installing GSM. pissed!!! Why would the darn Radio not update???
this may sound stupid but if all else fails, why not...
my mda use to have signal then it would just disappear as well after 15 min or less..
turns out the sim card wasnt pressed in properly.. so i just put a piece of paper on top of the sim card to make it thicker and get the battery to press it down harder. and it solved all my problems...
just a suggestion..good luck

See this post here for a possible reason (and technical explanation/theory) for your device stalling during radio update. The fix suggestions at the bottom of the page may help you - in particular :
Try cooling the device down a bit before flashing as the PIC chip (where your radio ROM is held) may flash more reliably/easier when cool. Don't ask why - that's from it's datasheet ;-)
The paper on the SIM card is a good idea too to rule out dodgy SIM connection - Great idea r0mmel
Can anyone share their experience upgrading their Bell HTC6800 ROM (including radio, unlocking SPL, and upgrading PRL) with DCD 3.0.1? I have never done it before but curious to hear if anyone has had success or failure.
I noticed that DCD released a Bell ROM in his 2.3.2 kitchen but not in his 3.0.0 kitchen. Does anyone know how to port the correct Bell settings into the 3.0.0 release?
My main reason for upgrading is of course better performance but more importantly I am curious about aGPS and how I can use it instead of my Bluetooth GPS receiver. If anyone can share that would be much appreciated.
http://rapidshare.com/files/99219142/DCD_3.0.1_Bell.exe
Check the last page of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363693
Thanks origins81. I noticed now that DCD added the Bell ROM to his 3.0.1. So can you share you experience with this ROM upgrade? Did you have any problems (I assume you've done this before)? Can you share your experience if you are a Bell HTC 6800 user?
1. If you have not already done so, run the 2.40-olipro unlocker. Your device will again be left in tri-color screen.
2. Flash the official sprint 3.35 update.
3. When the device boots for the first time, do not pass screen calibration. Flash a 3.x.x ROM. (that being the custom rom of your choice)
Think I only used the official Bell rom for about a day before i got sick and tired of it and flashed to one of DCD's clean roms, never looked back since then...
As much as I hate Bell, I purchased this phone, had it for about 7 months and got into flashing roms, well, this newest ROM from DCD was the trickiest. First I tried using the Kitchen (disaster), I finally got it to work, installed it, and I kinda forgot to read the instructions, you have to be SURE to install the Olipro 2.40 first, and flash to the new radio, or it will do one of two things. 1st it will either continuously restart or 2nd thing is it will get stuck on the infamous red, blue, and green screen. However if you do get stuck on this, you can flash the rom again, then install the newest radio and it *should work.
But after all that pain and misery, I got a little better signal (I'm not too sure if this is caused by the new rom or not), the GPS works great as always, and seeing as Bell charges 2 arms and your first child for data, I haven't tried the speeds for Rev. A.
P.S- If you ever need help with your Bell 6800, just ask, I've been troubleshooting the same phone for a couple months, and I know how to use a kitchen, just a PM away.
Thanks guys. You have instilled more confidence in me now. I am just going to make sure I have the original stock ROM from ustar as well as the Titan re-locker just in case (I want a backout plan). I will wait a little longer until everyone irons out the kinks of this new 3.35 radio and I will give the latest DCD ROM a try. Thanks again!
I've used the SPRINT update and it works fine. I've added the quick GPS program that comes with the DCD version and I am going to change the startup logos from Sprint to Bell...(As soon as I figure out how). I didn't need to reprogram anything!!
I just got my phone today, gonna give this a shot...
oh man... i ran the olipro 2.4 file and it took me to the tri color mode and then tried to flash it with the latest sprint update. it went up to 4-5% and then it showed an error of Update Utility. i tried to go bak to the Bell update and it did the samething but this time after 1%. can someone please help me out here? I'm with bell.
ok now i'm stuck at the bell screen and at the bottom it says "No Radio" cuz i tried flashing the dcd file.
Well, to begin with, here are the steps I took to accomplish what I have.
1. Flash Olipro 2.40
2. Flash Radio to 3.35 (For the newest version of DCD's rom)
3. Flash the ROM to DCD's rom.
Now, the first time I did this, I got stuck at the tri-color screen, such a pain. I then tried flashing the rom again, and it rebooted continuously and I had no idea why. This was because I didn't flash to the newest radio. So I did that, and it worked, so try those steps, and good luck.
On problem that I did notice is that my phone always has the roaming triangle on?? Hopefully it's not costing me roaming charges... I was going to try and use the DCD 3.0.1 rom but don't want to chance it. I'm going to try playing with it some more an see what happens.
I'm running DCD 3.0.1 on my Bell 6800 and it's working great so far (day 2)
Follow Origins81's install points above, and remain calm if it takes a try or two to get past the 2.40-olipro unlocker 3-color screen step.
I'm having some issues ActiveSync'ing to both work and home PCs, but I don't think it's related to this ROM.
GPS works great with Google Maps
The alarm clock bug is fixed (e.g. not working when plugged in)
Got it working and everyhthing is great except is doesnt play video in the media player...Working on it.
Well for some reason I can't seem to activate my phone. I hit Talk then I enter ##911224#. It tries to connect for 15 secs then hangs up.
I _thought_ I did everything properly.
1) Ran Olipro2.40 (actually it was the unlock from http://www.phonenews.com/how-to-add-gps-to-htc-mogul-xv6800-p4000-titan-2663/) it looks like it's got Olipro2.40 in it.
2) ran official upgrade from sprint (RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship.exe)
3) Extracted DCD_3.0.1_Bell.exe and ran the RUU.
hope I didn't perma-brick it.

Ok fixed it. Browsed around the and found out in a Howard forum that you have to type ##111111# (doh!) before. Ok my heart can start beating again! Posted for posterity. The code that I used must have been for a different area. This phone is from the GTA.

Roaming After Update
After suffering with the pesky Bluetooth issues with my HTC, I thought I'd do some searching on the Internet to see if others had the same issues. Lo and behold, it looks like a real bug with the HTC. After reading some forums, it looked like the latest Sprint release would cure the problem. I downloaded an unlock program ("Hard-SPL-MFG") and the Spring update (RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3.35.651.2_RS_TITAN_3.35.04_4350H_SPCS_AM_Ship)
and proceeded to update my HTC.
After a few unsuccessful attempts (stuck at the three color bars a couple of times, restarting a few times on it's own) I managed to get the unlock code and Sprint update installed.
The problem I have now is that it appears that I am now roaming even though I'm in my calling area (I'm with Bell Canada)!
Help! What should I do??
Check the bottom link out, had similar issues when I first flashed. If you have any further questions let me know

Hi TwistedWaffle, Are you from the montreal region? I am looking for somebody who would do this stuff for me... Can you help?
I just know I am about to brick this thing and kill myself, but here is my understanding:
1. Use latest Olipro unlocker (2.40);
2. Use PPCKitchen to build WM6.1 and GPS ROM with the modules/etc. that I want - choose Alltel in the service provider dropdown box in the top right hand corner.
3. Build the ROM and choose the "upload rom to device" option.
I am sure this is already wrong, but here are my other questions:
None of the special code entries work. Things like ##<msl>#, ##778#, etc., so I can't find all my data settings and MSID. The information I have read says to enter these codes and nothing more. When I enter them, I am just staring at my dialer screen with that code typed in and nothing happens. Pressing send does nothing but try and call that number and there isn't an "Edit" or "View" button to press or anything of that sort. I can't find a walkthrough on how to enter those codes.
I just would love a lean install of wm6.1 with GPS enabled and some of the popular mods that will work with Alltel. I haven't found any good walkthroughs for Alltel users here or at PPCGeeks.
If anyone has any advice for a way to do this safely, let me know. You could even message me on AIM at Lucificate if I could pick your brain a bit. If this doesn't start making a whole lot more sense real quick, I will just learn to live with the default software my phone came with until HTC releases an official Alltel upgrade with 6.1 and GPS =)
First off to get to the settings its
##778 Talk.
then 000000 <6 zeros is the code
then yes looks like you have an idea..
Good luck.

Having same problem with Sprint Mogul using DCD rom with verizon settings. With the new rom the ## msl # comman does nothing. I reverted back to the unofficial sprint rom and it works again. The DCD rom looks much better, anybody got any ideas?
I'm on Verizon and my codes haven't worked for a long long time. The simplest thing is to go into your windows folder find the file called epst.ink and copy it to your start menu/program folder. Then whenever you need inot those setting you just go to your programs and select it.

At what point do you insert this step? I thought the kitchen included all the components for he flash. All I have found is some Sprint radio upgrade, not sure if I can just throw that onto the Alltel phone.
You can get the code using a program called getspc (search xda forums for it).
just after you install olipro 2.4, you flash to the sprint 3.35 (this will install the new radio) rom but do not allow the device to configure (do not tap screen when it asks you to), then immediately flash to dcd's rom.
I have a qwest mogul and using this procedure preserved all the information on the phone for Qwest (I didn't have to use the information I copied), but be sure to write them down just in case. Also, you may want to find the exit bootloader program, just in case your phone gets stuck in bootloader mode (I needed it).

Unless something has changed the kitchen does not include the radio. The safest way to get the radio installed is to flash the Sprint rom but don't allow the customizations to run unless you're a Sprint customer. Then you flash your custom rom for the specific carrier you're on. I'm on Alltel also and the Sprint rom will work fine to get the radio installed.
Be forewarned, though, that once you upgrade to the 3.35 radio, it might be tricky to flash to the stock Alltel rom once it is available. Some have had success relocking then reflashing and some have bricked multiple phones in the process. Apparently, downgrading a radio is much more taxing on the phone than upgrading the radio.

As a new owner of a Verizon xv6800, I found some slight annoyances with the tutorials/guides posted so far. Therefore, I decided to write my own guide with the quickest and simplest way to upgrade directly from Stock firmware to the newest ROM and Radio. Despite my attitude towards past guides, I thank everyone who has posted a guide so far, as without those, I would not have been able to flash my phone or write my own guide.
Please let me know of anything that might need changed.
Thanks.

Can't dial "+1 (###) ###-####"
I was able to follow all the steps and flash succesfully. However, I am having trouble dialing phone numbers that include the "+" in front of the country code. This worked fine on the stock ROM, but when I flash I can not dial any of the number unless I remove the "+" from in front. This then messes up outlook and I can not sync. I think its a dialer issue, but not sure. Everything works (voice calls, data, gps) but I can not dial from the contacts that sync. Did I mess something up, or do I need a different dialer, or something else?

I followed it to the T.
However, after running the *228 command, it shows the yellow text that it is programming. After about 60 seconds it shows "programming unsuccessful".
If I try to call it again, every consecutive try (without doing a reboot) does not show the programming text. However, if I reboot the device, it does show programming but fails again.
I have also attempted to reinstall the Verizon CAB and it does not affect my issue.
Any suggestions?

Interesting problem. Just for the sake of ruling it out, have you tried another USB cable/port?
If you have no luck with that, you might be able to flash using a MicroSD card. I had no luck using mine (4GB PQI MicroSDHC card), as it kept giving me some error trying to flash with it.
Some info on the MicroSD method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378506
Hope that helps some. If not, let me know.

Apparently the new firmware likes to break at 8% doing update over USB and will tell you that it's incompatible or whatever. The only way to flash the radio in this case is by using the MicroSD method. Make sure you use a non-MicroSDHC card, format it properly, and copy the image onto the device as TITAIMG.NBH

Thank you for the suggestion. However, I had already decided to revert to the stock ROM until I feel confident I can resolve the issue. I took a look at the stock ROM registry, and interestingly the value is 0. I will make note of the other keys and look at them next time I try the new ROM.
Thanks again, it's a great feeling to get a response that may help.
very nice. clean and simple.
Here is a quick tutorial for Verizon customers who receive phones with MR1 or MR2 so they may enable aGPS functionality with custom roms. Users who try to update Radio and ROM directly from MR1/2 will not have aGPS functionality and will need to roll back to stock 6.0 rom then reload radio and custom rom.
Thanks to GC's aGPS tutorial, MrTek and drewcam888.
1 - Use Nue's Re-locker to set bootloader to SPL 2.07
2 - Use a SDcard to flash back to Stock VZW 6.0 rom
3 - Use nueSPL-2.47 to update bootloader
4 - Use SDcard to flash latest Titan Radio
5 - Use SDcard/RUU to load your choice of custom ROM
6 - Use QPST to set aGPS ip settings in config (use GC tutorial)
7 - install the aGPS.cab
8 - Possible need to call VZW to reset Akey
9 - Phone is fully functional, with aGPS working correctly
Does anyone have the aGPS.cab that they can upload to rapideshare, megaupload, or the like? The link keeps timing out for me.

Does anyone have the aGPS.cab that they can upload to rapideshare, megaupload, or the like? The link keeps timing out for me.

Actually, what might be a good recommendation is to Do the unlock, and Flash BEFORE you switch to the refurb phone.
When you receive your refurb, you dial #228 on the refurb phone, and choose option #3. This walks you through moving your service to this new phone.
During the process, a new A key is also set I believe, so if you unlock and flash before you do the process you won't need to call VZW for the aKey.
Man, i have tried this tutorial step-by-step about 3 times, and still no working GPS.
i relocked, downgraded to stock VZW rom, unlocked to 2.47, upgraded to 3.42.50 radio, upgraded to Titan Reloaded 1.42b Rom, tried QPST settings for both verizon (installed GC aGPS cab), and telus (telus cab), and still no GPS. I only have Google Maps installed, but it just sits there on "seeking satellites". location is "on", program port is "com 4", hardware port is "none", baud is "4800", manage automatically is set, and "managed by windows" is set in Google maps. I never get any satellites using either verizon or telus settings.
Can anyone help!?

try a program where you can see satellites trying to connect like mGpsCmd.exe i use this sometimes to prime my gps.
good little write up
I downloaded GPSViewer and hit "Open GPS". I see lots of characters scrolling through...
SGPG.. codes. When i click on the GPS Status tab, every once in awhile some red circles w/ numbers pop up for a sec and then are gone.
After waiting a few minutes, I sometimes get a red circle that stays on the globe, but they never stay long term. Like it's detecting these satellites, but never actually locks on. How do you know when you get an actual lock?

good job! when you get a lock the numbers and little red circles will turn blue. do this right after a fresh soft reset. it seems to work better after soft reset. your gps is working, it just needs to get a lock.
Hi,
I would like to try out one of dcd's roms.
At the top of this link
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=dcdtitanroms
there is another link to dcd's roms but all of them are contained in an exe that use a USB method to flash. Is there a way to extract the rom from the exe so I can use the SDcard method mentioned above? (or can dcd roms be found ready for the SDcard somewhere?)
---------------------
EDIT:
From the first post:
" 5 - Use SDcard/RUU to load your choice of custom ROM "
I see now that an "RUU" is an exe that gets the rom over to the phone, so i don't need an SDcard for step 5 with dcd's roms. But you like you can extract the nbh from the exe using winrar.
