Hi from me too,

I got my tytn bricked in the same way:mad:

I was using it for about 6-8 months after last ROM update ( WM6 BLACK PRO)

with ROM 1.47.xx.xx

Last week 25.02-2.03 I experienced the same problems with HTC.

Phone starts to hang. After reboot No GSM massage. after reboot without SIM it work for 20-30 min and hangs. So I decided to Flash the ROM without reading all of this usefull posts and guess what??

STUCKED at 11%.

Now it is in fridge :rolleyes:

So as I see all of you consider that it is a new Radio ROM bug but it isn't as I was with 1.47 verssion. I still think it is a hardware problem maybe in GSM module.

I have another freak Idea - some kind of VIRUS!!!

If anyone has any idea please share with us for a try :D

NO GSM

I was using the "official" At&t WM6 ROM downloaded from Hermes site, had never done anything except upgrade to that. Mine started locking up during calls that went over about 10 minutes. I would have to soft-reset and it would come back up NO GSM and it would have blanks under Settings, Device. If I left it like that for a few hours eventually it would come back (almost seemed like it was overheating or something and had to cool down). I started doing research and I flashed it with the 1.54 radio and the phone took it fine, no errors (keep in mind I don't play with my 8525 ao I have NO idea what the radio version was before, it was whatever was released with the latest official AT&T ROM). It will work for a day or so then it will lock up (not necessarily during a call anymore, sometimes while it's just sitting soing nothing). Once you do a soft-reset it will go to NO GSM again until it decides to come back and all of the GPRS network seetings are gone and any email accounts set up other than MMS or SMS are also gone. If you had unread email in the inbox it will show up on the Today screen and you can't get to it or get it to go away, not even with the unread mail count tool I found on this forum. Apparently the phone thinks the account is still set up and since it did have unread mail in it the count is correct. You just can't get to it. Personally I think something is frying the hardware.

I have a new Hermes 300 fresh from factory with the same problem. Didn't even show radio version and IMEI. It was an exchange device from T-Mobile Ger as the old device didn't do any sounds anymore...

Meanwhile I tried a lot (HardSPL - SChaps ROM 4.30 - Some Radio VErsions 1.40,1.5.10,1.5.30, Schaps Advanced Config, different SIM Card which is from a different provider)...

Will try the bad block trick now... ... Didn't work...

Trying the radio 1.47 now...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] tianz:
I think we need to find Hermes sevice manual with schematic, not only dismantling picture. with more information maybe we can isolate the problem to specific hardware part (my opinion it's hardware problem). Since too many issues regarding Hermes.

It's a shame though, such a nice phone but with a lot of hardware issues.

Another victim - POSSIBLE SOLUTION

I fall into same hole as you guys :(

I exchanged my Treo with my friend's 8525, every thing was going smooth when I upgraded one of the cooked roms and it installs the 1.54.0.7 radio rom, initially I noticed that in morning phone started to drain whole battery overnight and calls start dropping plus phone freeze up lots of time..... eventually I got "No GSM" when I found out that my HERMES is almost bricked.....

I install so many ROMS, radio roms etc but no solution, then this morning I tried something which shows sign of hope......

I removed my SIM and install Radio ROM 1.47.0.10 via micro SD card, it installed fine.... then I insert my wife's phone's (AT&T) SIM and restarted the phone.... for 6 hours the phone works like charm ..... I made calls and stuff, moved in different areas and see reception bars going up and down whic means radio hardware was all good as it was doing its stuff.....

Then I replaced my old SIM and you know what..... same symptoms come back..... phone was locked up and No GSM is back, so I again removed my SIM, reflash same radio ROM and insert my SIM again, this time phone is up with signals for last 30 minutes...... I'll update the progress in a while but I got a feeling that this is a combination of RADIO ROM + SIM ..........

Can some one try my steps and let us know if that solves the issue?

ALSO

this thread is static for a lot of time, does that mean you guys are moved to other phones and rest the HERMES in peace ????

Update:

As soon as I tried to make a call it goes back to the "bricked" state, I don't have the other SIM right now other wise I would have checked the SIM theory again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Prerna:
Interesting! Surely SIM can often be the culprit in several issues.

For you, it is still unclear whether the SIM is either damaged or not anymore fully compatible after the ROM upgrade. Or it could be the Radio version that does not suit with the operator you connect to.

You could try:

1.- Downgrade Radio until one works all right

2.- Get a new SIM (128k preferably) from your operator

Whatever the output, please report the results.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ffaridi1:
I called AT&T and report the issue... the CS rep gave me the good news that my Warranty with AT&T still has 3 more days left and after few "standard" troubleShooting questions agreed to replace the phone :)

I revert my SPL/ROM to AT&T's went to device support center and exchanged my phone with another one (which is much fresh looking than my scratched old 8525) and which comes with another 90 days warranty :)

It comes with 1.40 radio rom so I would stick with it for a while before I'll put my phone on ebay for sell which will happen very soon.

The guy at support center , after listening to all symptoms asked me the first question :

" Did you use another SIM !!!!!!!!!!!!"

So again , even though I got a replacement but I still think SIM replacement could solve this problem for many guys here who had bricked the phone due to 1.54.0.X radio ROM.

Can some one else with a No GSM Bricked phone try this out?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] radialsoliton:
Similar problem, another cause

Radio version : 1.54.07.00

Rom: 3.62.502.3

CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4)

About 14 months ago, my 8525 came with WM 5.0 and an earlier version of the ROM. 6 months ago, I downloaded both the new ROM version and WM6 from the HTC site. First I updated the ROM. No update issues at all. In fact, the phone jumped in performance. I was able to walk around in my building with usable signal. A couple weeks later, I updated from CE 5 to CE 6. Since then, the phone has suffered below par performance needing soft resets every day to find the network. In my office near a window, it is sometimes able to get 1 bar, but mostly shows the exclamation point. Walking out to my car across the parking lot, where there should be 3~4 bars, it can't find the network at all and displays the exclamation point. To use bluetooth in my car, I need to do 1~3 soft resets using the comm manager to get the phone to find the network. There are even dropouts along the interstates, now.

I have been thinking of re-flashing the ROM with the same update. This is primarily because the software is not transitioning between functions correctly. But there is a second flaw with performance and I think the 2 are connected. Both are SW flaws. AT&T technical staff recorded my problem but have nothing to add. Together this morning, an AT&T rep and I searched the windows mobile area at Microsoft and could find nothing related to comm issues in 8525s. I strongly suspect WM6 has a flaw that impedes radio operation and performance, and that the problem is not hardware. There is a WM 6.1 for 'business'. but no comm issue is id'ed. Shame, it worked spectacularly well those couple of weeks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] diablos872001:
I'm here too!

Radio: 1.54.07.00

At the beginning NO GSM, after 2 days: G NONE and R NONE.

So there isn't a solution, right? :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ffaridi1:
Did you try another SIM from someone else's account in your phone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] diablos872001:
yes i've tried another sim, but no solution.

I think i've the worst problem, R none and G none, radio flash update always fails, OS + radio flash fails when arrives at gsm module...

Good times when there was only NO GSM and a reboot can fix it :p

I'll try with the fridge hehehe :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] romeu:
I have a Hermes with R:NONE G:NONE.

I bought it so because I thought it would be easy to fix. Smart guy I am...

I have read most of these threads about this problem and the No GSM issue.

In several cases people writes that they droped the phone. I wonder if more people have droped the phone without mentioning it because it doesn't seem relevant.

It could be a physical damage. Some connector that losens or cracks or some stress in any component that makes the solder to crack.

It would be interesting to find out how frequent it is that people has droped the phone or given it a hard impact prior to the problem.

It may sound crazy (maybe it IS crazy) but as long as we don't know all clues are relevant.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] 754boy:
If I replaced the motherboard with another one, would that fix the radio?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Mikeapollo:
Yes... However, depending on where you are you may be better off just buying a second-hand (working) Hermes and keeping your existing GSM'less one as a dumb PDA or a deveopment machine..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ALEX_STAMOS:
Where are the Developers?? opinion

Dear XDA-Developers

I have also been victim of this HTC Radio Hardware behavior; I have dropped trying to fix this long ago, since i had the capability to buy NEW phone.

But not everybody does...and i am really DISAPPOINTED from YOUR behavior of IGNORING these people requests, to either to solve their issue...or to forget about it completely.

If YOU XDA-DEVELOPERS (which i imagine you do) have such HTC internal information ... please ANNOUNCE to people and relief them as this issues are now officially global.

Best regards

I brought a Azpen A746 someone for Christmas last year and for the most part it's OK, the specs beside the RAM are all good.

Quad core CPU. But I now notice that after installing a bunch of games like from the company king like the candy crush type games and I see that a lot of them crash on boot. Some just spin the loading screen and crash back to the menu. My guess is that it's low ram is closing apps. I was wondering if I can get some kind of CM is for it?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ShadowEO:
I use it with both my USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports and everything works fine. We need a little more information if you want us to help with your question, for instance, Are you running an insider build of Windows 10? What ROM are you running on your Nexus 7? What Kernel are you using? Have you tried other cables? Other ports?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ev1lchris:
I was running Stock Marshmallow. I use the latest TWRP and want to push files to the device.

Every time I plug it in I get a "Device Descriptor Request Failed" error. No driver installation helps.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] don969:
I have had this problem a couple of times. It wasn't anything to do with Windows 10 in my case and I could only solve it by flashing a previous stock image. This, of course, will wipe the device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ev1lchris:
Really? That makes sense.

The problem is I can't push any files to the device. I don't have the stock image just sitting around on the tablet's drive.

If I format the device or do a factory wipe or reset would that work? Maybe I could get my connectivity back?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] moe6:
Did you go through the full driver step by step process like in Wugfresh's toolkit? Sounds to me like there's a driver **** up and it needs killing via USBdeview. You can try factory resetting the device prior to this just to rule that out.

If you have a phone, you can use something like SuperBeam on the play store to send the factory image for your N7 from your phone to the N7 with reasonable speed and low failure rate (unlike standard BT file sharing). If you have an OTG USB adapter and a flash drive, you can transfer files this way too. There are also PC to Android Wifi file senders too, I don't have any to recommend unfortunately as my preferred version is in re-development by a university student that lacks time since the re-development.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ev1lchris:
Are there steps according to Wug? I've tried a lot of stuff that I have read on the web including the Microsoft site.

I've been doing a lot of uninstalling and reinstalling in Device Manager. I've changed the settings quite a bit including disabling the USB 3 power saving features.

The only thing I haven't really done is a format or formal factory reset. I've done some Wipes in TWRP. Usually just Dalvik and Cache but I think once I accidently did Data.

TWRP tells me that I have no OS but when I use the File Manager it shows that my directory structure and files are intact.

Should I be going for a format or factory reset?

[One (M8) General] Ta3miyyasandwich:
Hello, I experienced something similar- complete absence of system update!

Hope this helps
[One (M8) General] arminbeyran:

[One (M8) General] justinchao740:
if you are willing to, just root your phone and flash the marshmallow rom on to your phone and use titanium backup to backup everything before you do so.
[One (M8) General] lmentor:
you can root your phone,flash twrp recovery,flash Marshmallow rom.
[One (M8) General] justinchao740:
That's exactly what I just said
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
You don't need root to install TWRP, nor to install a custom ROM.

Exception is Verizon, where you need root to s-off, and then unlock bootloader; as bootloader unlock by HTCDev.com is not supported for that version alone.
[One (M8) General] justinchao740:
If you get bootloader unlocked, you basically rooted your device cause now you are allowed to modify the system data and make modification that can result in unusable phone. Plus if you are willing to take the risk of unlocking your bootloader, why don't you just root anyways, its just a matter of flashing super su zip.
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
No, you didn't. Root is a very specific thing. You either have root (SU) priviledge, or you don't. Unlocked bootloader does

not

give you root privilege. It only allows you to flash unsigned zips to certain partitions.

Because it would be a wasted step (completely unnecessary), if you are going to flash a custom ROM.
[One (M8) General] justinchao740:
Think of it this way. If you flashed a cm ROM without root in the first place, you would get root. I'm not saying unlocking bootloader immediately give you root access but it allows almost anything that you flash to have root access
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
Some folks keep incorrectly stating that you need root to flash custom recovery on this device (on some devices, you do - but not this one). I'm just trying to make sure that misinformation doesn't keep getting conveyed (the post after yours said it, too).

Stating the process precisely, is the best way to do that.
[One (M8) General] justinchao740:
Agreed plus my post never stated anything about rooting.

Just curious, whats a respectable amount? Of course one could say any amount out but really, whats like the normal for a donation for say a rom or kernel? I often find myself about to donate $500 to some developers but then wonder if thats the norm or too less? Yes some is better than none but how much is worth it and how much is less enough to be a insult? 5$ literally a beer? 1$ why bother? Does 10 make a dev grin? Would 20 make them love me? Dont need that.

Lol i was deff jk with the 500. Had to throw a big number in just in case my little ones were trumped. I donate occasionally, for like the santas that are coming anytime now outside stores, and the occasional guy with his bicycle holding a sign saying he ran out of gas. Talkin like a few bucks. As bad as it sounds they really didnt put effort for me to donate, and alls they are wanting is whatever you can give. Here tho, they are taking time and effort and mad skills to create something for anybody without the intention of being donated to but gladly accepts. Just last week I was about to send 7$ to someone but didnt because idk if the beer money others have said to donate or the coffee some say would be nice is just that or if it's forum donation slang. Not too long ago i misunderstood this Linux distro download and thought it said donations required. I had yet to try it or even knw if it was good. I donated a penny. Received a thank you email and all. The donation actually wasnt required and there was an option to download for free. I was like man if i got a penny for a unrequired donation id question my material or wonder what that guys problem was. Obviously when its nothing vs something the something always wins. However, sometimes it may of been better to not at all, like i used to move houses, furniture moving, and after moving all of someones stuff and they are like o here i wanted to give you this for all of your hard work, get yourself a 10-10-21 call on me for 1$. Its a little awkward cuz u dont knw if they knw and its all n kindness but really you shouldnt have. Would of been better with a handshake and the security of knowing i am still unaware you have no idea what year it is.

I know thats what i was sayin.... so 10$ a good norm donation? 50? 5? If it was something that was sold (custom roms) it could easily be priced 25-100$ (i think anyways). Basically id rather not donate something that is not enough to be taken as a real donation and id rather not do so much that an awkward "friendship" is created. Lol i think im runnin n circles here.
