Having major problems with my XDA II i....any help gratefully received!! I have tried to find similar postings but without much luck...there is lots of talk of ROM upgrades etc etc but no mention of my particular issue.
I must state at this point I am a newbie in terms of ROM upgrades or whatever....but I am desperate to fix this issue as I am left with a dead phone...and sure someone at work can help me if the technology beats me!!!!
At least once a day it will crash and not respond to trying to power up from the on switch. It will only respond to a soft reset. This is intermittent and does not happen after a certain time span, time of day, after x hours in standby or anything.
I am met with a blank screen etc etc BUT the green light on the right hand side keeps flashing when the phone is 'dead'. It also seems to still be connected to the cellular network because if I dial my number from a landline I get a tone on the landline but the handset is dead. Also the
The only time that it started to behave better was when I disabled the Auto Standby function...I killed my battery but the phone seemed to behave much better because it wasn't going into standby from which it seems to not recover.
This is the second handset I have had from O2, the other one failed for the same reason so there is a 'bigger' problem somewhere...therefore I would rather look to you guys for help as opposed to getting the usual run-around from O2 who don't really seem to want to engage in this at a detailed level. I don't really want to give them the handset for another two weeks just to get another one with the same fault on it again.....
I have no other software installed other than the base OS and it still happens.
Details are as follows:
ROM 1.10.00 WWE
Rom date 12/24/04
Radio 1.00.00
Protocol 1337.39
ExtROM 1.10.124 WWE
Model PH10C
THANKS LOADS!!!!!!!!!!

There have been multiple cases of Radios suddenly stopping to work lately. This is not related to NO GSM error as these occur while phone is in use and not while flashing.
Symptoms are as follows:
- Radio suddenly ceases to work (no signal with any SIM), or its condition deteriorates over the time.
- While trying to flash a different Radio ROM, the upgrade stops at 0% and bricks the device
- Devices can be recovered to operating state, however only OS is intact and GSM radio does not work.
- MTTY gives no feedback
- Information about device resembles these symptoms:
Radio Version : Nothing
Protocol Version: Nothing
IMEI : Nothing
Possible causes of this problem:
- Hardware fault
- Radio ROM corruption
- Bad blocks in NAND
This phenomena seems to be the new source of bricked Hermes devices and the number of occurences is growing.

There also were some threads with this issue in the Hermes WM6 forum.
What we do not know is:
- What was the last radio version those people used?
- Did they use custom ROMs or did it happen with official ROMs too?
- What do these cases have in common?
- Is it really a hardware fault (no results from the service centers so far)?
- Can something be done to prevent this kind of bricking?
- Anything that might help those people recover the phone capability of their devices.
Please share your knowledge about this problem so we can know what kills our device's radio.
Common symptoms:
ROM with radio (both official and unofficial) - flash stops at 12% (magic number?)
Radio ROM stops at 0%
After reading a lot about flashing - upgrading the Tytn, i think the first question to be answered is:
Has anyone with an official untouched device had the radio death situation??
(i.e never had any cooked-baked-boiled rom or radio other than the official flashed on the device)
On every incident i have read, there was at least one mentioning of "Unlock, SuperCID, HardSpl, cooked XXXX-WM6 rom, and so on.
Is it a coincidence?
Dont get me wrong, i my self love this forum and have used tools and roms many times (previously on my MDA Pro and now on my Tytn).
my unit started the NO GSM syndrome just 3 days after i upgrade to 1.54.00 radio..
ROM without radio - flashes 100% working
ROM with radio (both official and unofficial) - flash stops at 12% (magic number?)
everyone else has thier rom + radio flash stop at 12%

First post updated with your comments&link.
I opened mine this week, cleaned the inside and also taken the metal covers inside off. One very small chip looks like it has a little brown spot on it, like it has gotten too hot.
Don't know if this is the problem or not, but i think it has to do with the radio and that it's fried
my radio rom was 1.54 something i believe.
and before it broke my phone started to hang short times for a few weeks and when it got back the radio signal was also lost,so i guess it was starting to break down
now it is just a pda, i connect it to internet through my old phone, but it takes 5 minutes after turning on before it will use bluetooth, some programms also refuse to start in the first 5 minutes.
I have been seeing what I think is the beging of this issue. It started about a week or so ago, my phone locked up on a call so I soft reset it. IT cam back and I was able to use the phone again. About ten minutes later it locked again and this time when it came up my passcode would not work. After trying to log in 8 time it hard reset itself. I let it reset and then I upgraded my radio from 1.48 to 1.54.07.00 as I thought the radio was hanging the phone. A few days went by and everything was fine. Then I started to notice the radio was completely loosing signal and seeminlgy locking the phone. The only fix seemed to be a soft rest (at the time) This went on for a few days and eventually my password died again after a soft reset. and it hard reset me. At this point I upgraded from vp3G 3.0 to schapps 4.20 and 1.54.30.10 for the radio. Again it helped for a day or two maybe but it has not started to loose radio signal completely (no service and modem disconted error etc were I always have signal) I have tryed a few diffrent rom and radios in additon to all of these and still get the issues. Last night I got some more clues after installing the new google maps with the my location "soft gps". I was playing with it on my ride home folling my trip etc and about 25 min in my radio started acting up. This time the only thing that fixed the issue was to remove the battery and sim card and put them back in. I am startign to think this is a heat issue in one of the radio components. I also have a ruberized cover which could contrinute to a heat issue. Also for the record I have IPL-1.04 and SPL-2.10-0lipro.
Can anyone comment on ROM botloader etc AT&T would want to see on the phone if I got them to replace it? It is only like 3 months old.
Ma
Great idea to open this post. Here's my experience of 2 issues I had this week:
First, I changed the ROM to HC Lite, and the Radio to 1.54.30 last week-end.Before that I never had an issue with GSM.
3 days later I operated a clean-up, using Oxios Close-Apps and Hybernate.1 or 2 hours later, the GSM signal disappeared, and the green button stopped responding. I also noticed I was unable to open "Contacts". Nothing would make it come back, not even a soft reset.
What I did is a Sprite backup, in case, then a hard reset. Everything was then back to normal, so I restored the backup, and it kept working! Now the sad part is that the exact very same event occurred today.
I'm a bit confused whether the issue is hardware related, or is it to do with the radio, the rom..? Anyway, I will right now change the Radio so as to see if any improvement. Your comments will surely be appreciated.
It seems to be related to the newer radio versions. I am running the 1.47 that came with the official Dutch WM6 Rom and have had no problems what so ever with Schaps Rom. So my guess is that it is related to the 1.54 versions of the Radio.
Anyone had these problems with the older radio versions?
Just thought I'd add some info to this topic. I have been running Radio 1.54.00.10 for about 1.5 months with Schaps 4.20 and vp3G's 3.62.3 and have not had any problems with reception, phone use, etc, but I ran 1.54.07.00 radio for 2 days and it was terrible.
It would hunt forever for a signal. If I went into a building and lost reception, I would have to soft reset to get a signal (after I left the building). I figured something was gonna get damaged(too much heat).
I don't know if anybody's experience with that version was as bad as mine, but I hope this problem can be narrowed down to a particular radio rom.

I had the same kind of behavior with mine. Radio was 1.47
After a few days of similar misbehavior... the radio died

Nope, I had it with 1.47 back 6 months ago...
By the way
To me it is obviously hardware related: if I try to flash the radio 5 or 10 times I end up managing in flashing it (I have to try, retry, etc...) with another radio. However... I still have the No GSM issue, even after the new radio has been flashed
It's the best proof soemthing is broken inside, not just the radio

I've had this issue with every radio after 1.47, and multiple cooked ROMS, I've tried every radio newer than 1.47 with a bunch of different ROMS. My phone hasn't died....yet but I wouldn't count on it in an emergency or any urgent situation.
I haven't even had this phone 1 year, no way I'm going to spend 300+ AGAIN because of a ****ty HTC product.
What error messages are you guys getting?
I get (not verbatim) the following very often:
phone not ready, wait 15 seconds
answering modem has disconnected
(not a message) searching for signal
(not a message) no signal, just a ! in the signal meter
call not completed
(not a message) phone hangs when dialing a call
(not a message) received calls sent straight to voice mail when I have full signal, either a soft reset or attempt to make a call fix the problem. The attempt to make the call fails and the phone reconnects to the network.
I have noticed lately that I have less problems in 3G areas.

I have the EXACT same problem as eagercrow. The only difference is that I HAVE NOT *repeat* HAVE NOT mod, or use any cooked ROMs. When i'm using WM5 and radio 1.04, the problem did happen very often. Then when the official WM6 witn radio 1.47 release by HTC, i flash it straight away. It clears all the problem for a few month but some of the problem start to appear since last month:
answering modem has disconnected
call not completed
(not a message) phone hangs when dialing a call
(not a message) received calls sent straight to voice mail when I have full signal, either a soft reset or attempt to make a call fix the problem. The attempt to make the call fails and the phone reconnects to the network.
It happen in any area with weak network (less than 4 bar/full), either 2G, 3G or 3.5G.
For answering modem disconneted, i have to shut down the phone and remove the battery to solve he problem. I must say that the problem may be due to heat. Since when i using it as a modem, the phone gets pretty hot.
I wonder why since i'm using the official ROM only (i've never use any cooked ROM). Even HTC servrice center can't really solve the problem. (my phone board controller was faulty and HTC changed it for me. After that all those problem just vanish for a few month). HTC says its normal!. I paid almost USD600 for the phone. I'm thinking of getting O2 but my friend says he had almost similar problem.
Wonder why......
I forgot to add one more problem to the list, phone sometimes will not disconnect from a call, I have to soft reset

Yeah that is what is happening with mine, the phone call is ended but you wouldn't know it by looking at the phone.
Well i didn't do my searching right, so i posted my issue in a new thread...
My issue is almost the same...It all started with BT getting disconnected from headset, and only soft reset will connect again...and then, radio started to act up. Phone went to sleep one night, and the next stay when i tried to wake it up, it wont wake up. Had to reset it to wake it up...it came back up, but when i plugged it to the puter, the puter wont recognize it. Here is what has happened so far...
1. GSM works after soft reset, and when on phone the phone freezes. Soft reset is the only option...(call is continued until soft reset)
2. BT will disconnect and will take forever to start up
3. Phone will not be recognized by PC (USB device not recognized error)
3. Can flash OS, Splash screens, ext ROM using SD flash method, but will not flash OS with GSM...hangs about as soon as it starts GSM (about 12%)
4. GSM, protocol numbers are still intact
My phone is less than 2 months old and i didn't get my phone through AT&T, so no warranty...kinda screwed eh I think this is a hardware problem...
Hello everybody,
I own an Orange-FR branded Hero, and it get often disconnected, but doesn't seem to "know" that. The network bars stay stuck, and the "H" is displayed, as if there was a 3G connection.
I still can use Wifi (and enable/disable it), but cannot disable 3G/GSM network, not even going into "plane" mode. The only way to get out of there is to reboot the phone.
Looks like a radio bug for me...
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Yup. Which radio version are you running?
And, are you running the phone stock or with a custom ROM. If custom, try flashing the latest radio (read up on it before doing so though, as some people manage to brick their phones by not reading the instructions)- ie. don't pull the battery out, just let it do its thing.
Hello, thank you for your answer.
The phone is like new, I didn't try to update the OS neither the radio, because of the warranty...
My radio version is 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18.
I'm aware of the flash methods, as I often updated my P3300 with roms found right here
Hello there,
still have the problem, seems it's happening 24h after each reboot of the phone, but sometimes less.
By looking at the message log with the OSMonitor application, I get a lot of "rmnet fifo full, dropping packet", and the time shown in the messages is wrong (near 5h20 instead of 22h40)
Thanks for your help.
Got a new phone from Orange (with a crappy customized rom).
Same problem
what does orange say about the problem?
Hi,
each ppl I could talk to told me a different thing.
Sometimes they say it's because i'm moving to another cell (aren't they joking? it's the way GSM works...), someone told me it was because of a "localisation" problem. Another time my file was "stuck" or sent to a wrong service...
I don't think they have any return on experience about this phone.
probably it is just sales bull**** they are told to say to you...
it's guys from level2 support, that's worrying
They change my phone tomorrow... again...
i sometimes have a similar problem, phone gets stuck on 3g network and only shows as uploading data, i think it might have something to do with facebook sync. i haven't had this problem for a long time now but back in the day it used to happen alot
third phone, same problem
i don't use facebook sync
Same Problem
I was having the same problem, especially when it came to 3g / wireless usage - the phone would suddenly lose all connection to the masts but be unaware of it.
My solution so far is to downgrade the radio - the latest one is the worst for it, I'm using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 at the moment and a lot more stable than before...
(using Villains 5.2 rom)

yes I have been getting this issue too.
It uploads data on 3g but doesn't download. I found what appears to be a temporary fix for this issue but it comes back every now and again. I think it is an issue with Orange/Tmobile cell towers.
thanks for your replies,
i'm using the 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 radio
is there other radio firmwares available ?
thanx

The one listed in my sig is the latest (and arguably the best) radio.
OMG they locked the recovery mode
im on orange and have no problems?To be honest when you talk to them they read from a script, noone there actually knows anything! just searching through a database kinda like windows help and support. If the problem is continuing with new phones id say its your cell area
I have the problem everywhere in the country, they changed the phone, they changed the sim (i'm trying another one right now), ...
That's what makes me think of a network problem.
Whenever you speak to them about issues like this always ask to speak to "high technical team"
They are the only ones that know anything and won't read of a script. They are usually very very helpful as well (or at least are in the UK)
Hi Guys & Girls
First of all LOVE this website
i installed many roms for my HTC Hero but it always seems that i really have bad connection/reception ( dont know how you spell that )
when people call it takes up to 45 min before i get an text that i missed a call and many times i dont even get them. Next day i receive them. If i call someone it takes 3 tries before i hear the dial tone.
I have installed the following radio 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 from this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622 but is this the official radio from HTC. If not..... where can i get it ?
Thanks keep the hero alive!
Your Radio firmware is from the stoneage Check this site for more info:
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...ero-Radio-Roms-Download-Links&highlight=radio
But are those the official HTC ( dutch ) radio. Why do i ask........ before i installed custom roms/radios i never had problems.
I'm not sure which Radio is included with the latest official HTC ROM, but I'm dutch too and I'm running the latest version from the above site and have no problems whatsoever.
Btw, I'm running the latest CyannogenMod nightly
oke thats too bad i will install the latest and hope that i dont have problems anymore. Im currently running Elelinux-7.0.0.-RC1-Hero-v0.9 ( love this on by the way )
thread can be closed ( i think dont know what the rules are but my question is answered )
thanks
Hey,
Thats strange, try updating your radio... they aren't region specific, just get the latest... I'm german and did the same and it worked perfectly
but by the way u're using elelinux... i experienced very different signal strength on elelinux from one to another build.. on 0.9, perfect, got more signal strength than ever had, on 1.1.1 - catastrope. try updating or something if this doesn't work out maybe contact ele for infos, best if u post a message in his thread, i didn't get an answer to PM.
greets, Summoner
Hi there
so i thought it went good but too bad last night happened the same thing i got 2 texts around 23:27 (11 am) and the time of the text that were sent was 21:48(am) please help me I DONT WANT A NEW HTC HERO ( i like it )
thanks
Your problems can be caused for different reasons and you need to rule out all of these to find your answer.
Sent time definition
The time you said was the sent time, is that the time it was really sent or is that the systemtime of the provider or phone it was sent with? I really don't know this
Software problems
You are using an experimental OS probably with lots of apps installed. To make sure these are not causing your problem you should flash the latest HTC RUU and try again.
Provider problem
Hard to find out, but could be the cause. Both your provider as well as the provider of the person who sent you the message. In busy times text messages are sent later, for instance New Year
Good luck investigating

1.Well the hero uses the time of the provider ( option "automatic" in date & time )
2. Correct i have an custom rom i just counted the programs and there are 6 installed ( exclusiv.....google maps & google apps ) the official RUU can be found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622 ?????
3. Called t-mobile 2 times about this problem but the nearest antenna is 200m from my house so that shouldnt be a problem. ( my guess )
im going to install the official RUU and will post my findings.
thanks keep the hero alive
Hi ya'll i have a problem
when im trying to install the official RUU i get the following error
ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
click exit to quit.
please tell me what to do??
thanks keep the hero alive
hi people
ive got it working again i just downloaded the official RUU from HTC and i needed to enter my s/n number. after install there were 3 updates so i installed them to. Now lets hope everything works as normal.
Ok, good to hear you got it running. Let me hear if your problem is solved now. At least you can't blame your phone OS if it still isn't fixed
Hi folks,
So I decided to let my old&trusty TYTN2 retire peacefully and be a backup phone - bought an almost unused HD2. Cool, love the phone. Looks good and is reaaally snappy&fast.
But I'm kind of stirred by its frequent crashing and then getting stuck on white boot screen. It appears on random occasions when the phone has to do some thinking - end call, connect to PC, after inserting PIN, app start. Nothing really intensive going on.
The phone has a custom rom: Elegancia v1.0 Final WWE dating 28.07.2010
Radio version 2.08.50.05, Protocol 15.34.50.07U and the third number displayed on boot screen is "D 2.13.90963 8G"
The problem could be connected to overheating mentioned in a couple of threads, but nevertheless I have some questions.
1. Is there a possibility of the issue resulting from a faulty ROM so a reflash would do the trick?
2. Apart from getting a new motherboard or improving the cooling system described in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982454 - are there any other solutions to the issue?
3. If I need to take the phone to the warranty there is a high chance that they won't like the custom ROM job so I'll have to flash a stock ROM to make it look good. Where do I get one?
4. Is there anything else specific I'd have to keep in mind?

First thing I would do is update this as it is a older rom, Here is a link to the Elegancia thread if you want to just update to the latest version of that ROM. Also update your Radio to a the 2.14.50.04 or the 2.15.50.14 radio linked in the OP of the thread.

Answered above.
2. Apart from getting a new motherboard or improving the cooling system described in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982454 - are there any other solutions to the issue?
Nope, not for the over heating problem.
3. If I need to take the phone to the warranty there is a high chance that they won't like the custom ROM job so I'll have to flash a stock ROM to make it look good. Where do I get one?
Go to htc.com and enter your serial number (under the battery) to get a list of ROMs for your HD2 and download it from there. Also make sure you or on the HTC site for your country or the country the HD2 originally cam from, there is links to the other countries sites on any of the HTC sites. Also make sure you flash it via SD card as this will revert everything at one time.
4. Is there anything else specific I'd have to keep in mind?
Yes If you have a T-Mobile HD2 you can not flash a 2.04.50.xx, 2.05.50.xx, or any x.xx.51.xx radio to it as it will brick a T-Mobile HD2.

Hope this helps.
Thanks a lot for a quick answer!
And another question: The phone looks like an ordinary HD2 - non-coloured buttons and no T-mobile signs anywhere. And it was bought in Estonia, albeit imported from Czech Republic - had to DL new soft from czech site. But I'm somewhat puzzled by the Model No in phone identity app: It says "T-Mobile_LEO.."
Now is that conclusive evidence or could it come just from the Elegancia ROM?
How do I make sure if the phone is actually a T-Mo or the ordinary one?

Sorry for the lag in response her just managed to get back this part of the HD2 forums. If you look in your settings>about phone>hardware information and the flash size says 1024 it is a T-Mobile Leo, if it says 527 it is not. Also I am doing this from memory as I am running Android from NAND so it might be under software information, but i am fairly confident it is in hardware information. And yes it probably says T-Mobile Leo because the Elegancia ROM started as a standard 3.14 T-Mobile stock ROM and then the ROM chief modified the ROM.
OK, the hardware information says that theres 576Mb of RAM and 512Mb of flash. So I guess it's a non-T-mo phone. Thanks!
I'll probably be back with more questions, though
Well-well-well.
Long time no see.
The situation seems to be getting solved soon.
Took the phone to the repairs where they first reflashed it with the original firmware - they had to keep the phone in the *fridge* to do it successfully and avoid overheating.
So it didn't really solve anything and to the mobo change it was - luckily I could cut a good deal and the seller of the phone will pay for the repairs so the thread can be closed as a success story.
Will be back though - boys&toys. Will have to upgrade stuff, y'know.
