No GSM & BatteryStatus

Hi starbase64!

I've just discovered something.

I'm not sure if it's my device or the combination of options that caused this symptoms.

Here's the specs of my device before I dive into the details:

IPL: 1.04

SPL: 2.10Olipro

GSM: 1.54.30.10

OS: Yours sincerely

I noticed that I occasionally get the No GSM error when booting the device.

On several of those occasions, I discovered that BatteryStatus has been activated.

When the phone did successfully boot with GSM, I'll never fail to see the BatteryStatus disabled on the Today screen.

Has this been reported?

Should enabling BatteryStatus cripple the Radio?

This is very disturbing as I almost had an heart attack yesterday when the phone will bott repeatedly with No GSM.

All the troubleshooting steps that I tried at the Wiki did not cure the problem. Only leaving the battery out for an extended period of time will restore the GSM Radio.

Please advise me if you're familiar with this issue.

Thanks!

What country in Asia?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] konker:
China. I'm using China Unicom SIM card.

Hmm looking at this page, Chinese dopod WM6 upgrade came with 1.47.00.10 radio, thought about doing that, by looks of it even Dopod HK WWE?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] konker:
zocster,

Do you mean that a mismatched Radio ROM can cause the No GSM error?

Konker
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
oh yes. try flashing the original shipped rom with radio for your device, then flash to starbase's ROM I am sure you will feel the difference.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] konker:
My device is a Cingular 8525 that I bought on eBay & am using now in China.

Wouldn't flashing the lastest Cingular ROM also cause the problem?

Do you recommend I downgrading the Radio ROM to 1.47.00.10?

Another alternative is to flash to the Dopod 838Pro WWE ROM that I downloaded & tried two days ago.

Also, since it's displaying the No GSM message the the boot screen, I cannot flash the Radio ROM because it got stuck exactly there when I tried to flash the Radio ROM yesterday after many tries at resolving the No GSM problem following the Wiki helpguide.

What do you recommend that I do?

Lastly, will flashing to original shipped ROM cause the IPL & SPL to change to the one provided in the ROM package? If so, do I have to re-do everything?

Thanks...I'm so confused with all these. I didn't have so much trouble with my T-Mobile MDA.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
8525 comes with something different all together. 1.54.07.00 is latest? Try this instruction even though it is for big storage and this ROM isn't. Also skip the part where it says to play with the radio, stick to what comes with the original for now until you sort your radio out.

How to install ???

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] farres:
look mate, this is not Mac, windows XP or Vista... it's like moving to another OS let's call it mobile firmware (forget about Windows mobile) on another type of devices... which means you need to read the instructions to guide you making these steps... these instructions for this device are called WIKI for Hermes

please, spend some time there to avoid crying loud later
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] konker:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm trying it now.

So, here's what I'll do:

1. Flash 8525 with original shipped WM6.0 ROM (RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship)

2. Flash Olipro's HardSPL7

3. Flash S64's WM6.1 ROM

At the time of writing, I've already flashed the original shipped Cingular ROM to my 8525.

I went into the bootloader & discovered:

HERM100

IPL-1.04

HERM100

SPL-2.10.Olipro

In this case, can I skip the 2nd part?

Or do I continue with it?

Thanks again!

Konker
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
There's no harm flashing HardSPL again if your not sure, so just keep following the instructions given.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] konker:
Hi zocster & veyka,

I went ahead to flash all three steps.

It's up now.

Hope it will stay healthy.

I used Sprite Backup 6.2 to perform a full system backup prior to all these flashing.

Could I use it to restore the installed apps & customization?

It's based on the same OS, just that the Radio ROM is different.

Please advice me.

Thanks!

Konker
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
You can restore backups onto the SAME rom, but dont onto another one, even if its the same build.

Do you mean you had this EXACT rom before? If so, restore, if not, dont. (causes stability issues)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] konker:
veyka,

I had the exact same ROM as the present one I just flashed.

I was experiencing instability with the Radio having No GSM at bootup.

So, I guess I can proceed to restore the backup then.

Appreciate your feedback.

Konker
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Yup, I hope it goes well for you! Good luck! and happy flashing :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] konker:

Certainly look forward to using it more than wrestling with it. :)

An update to the No GSM problem...

zocster,

Thanks for pointing me in the direction to recover from the No GSM error.

After all the flashing, it seems to go well but within the 1st 24 hours, I experienced a lock-up & after a reboot, back came the No GSM problem!

I recalled the steps I took to set it up up to the point where the problem repeated & I thought a software that I installed might have caused the problem. This software is not included in the backup that I restored.

Is it possible for a software to interfere with the GSM Radio ROM?

I thought the Radio ROM was located in a different part of the memory & anything installed to the OS RAM cannot interfere with the stability of the ROM?

If it was indeed a software that caused the No GSM error, then, I suspect perhaps that the Flash ROM might be starting to show signs of wear. Afterall, part of the ROM is used for the Persistent Storage since it was implemented in WM5.

What do you think?

I'm now back on the stock WM6 Cingular ROM & giving it the run down to see if it is stable.

I'll add that installing the same piece of software without the AT&T customization (soft reset after Welcome screen setup) caused the OS to hang after the boot splash screen.

What's up?

Konker

PS: The software is a trial version of the Bluefire Mobile VPN version 2.7 or 3.0. Both caused the same effect.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
Weird, but then again you really can't expect every software to run on certain roms. Does it work on the official ROM? Once you are happy with the radio, I would suggest just flashing back with a shipped ROM without radio like VP3G are you happy with that radio at this stage without the software installed?

Also may I know what you have backed up and try to install?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] konker:
zocster,

I'm now running the orginal shipped ROM. The problem I encountered with the software was on the original shipped ROM as well.

So far, it's been doing fine on the 3rd day.

It did exhibit the No GSM error a handful of times the past 3 days but I did what someone on a thread suggested & it seemed to work. Just add a little pressure around the battery compartment above the EMS plate next to the battery connector & replace the battery. Upon starting, the No GSM error went away. This is very weird but it works!!

So now, I'm not very keen on changing anything for the time being.

Thanks for the follow-up.

Opera

Hi Starbase,

Thanks for the excellent ROM! I've been using it since August and it's been excellent. The only real issue I've found is the Slideshow doesn't work on HTC Album but works with other ROMs.

Also, any chance you could update with one main change?

Replace IE with Opera. IE is slow in comparison to Opera.

While you're at it, any chance you could include Office07 on the installation? I've had no problems manual install (thanks to your shared files!) but if you're considering the update, perhaps you could include it?

Also, the Diamond keyboard guess ahead feature has been a real pain and I've turned it off but is there any chance you could reinstate the guess ahead dictionary that comes with WM6.1 keyboard?

Thanks again for the outstanding work. It's much appreciated and keeps this device useful!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SirJangly:
hey starbase :)

Is there anyway to get the Z and Y buttons to not be in reverse? Also, when I text, it seems to autopredict within the text, and I have word completion off :(. Is there a manual way to change this? One more thing, is there any way to take the big digital clock off the today screen? THanks in advance!

Scrollbar contactlist

I flashed this rom today, first impression: GREAT! :D

I now have the issue that the nice scrollbar on the contactlist (not the default scrollbar but a alphabetic bar) disappears after a couple of times I use it.

After a reset he's back, and then he disappears again and the normal schrollbar shows up.

Is this a known issue?

Autocomplete does not work

OK. After downloading the latest version of the ROM, I faced following problems:

1. Office 2007 was missing.

2. Y and Z got interchanged

3. Autocomplete (i.e. suggesting alternative words once you type first few letters) was not working

4. When I would type first few letters of a contact in the To: field of SMS, it used to suggest possible options of contacts with my Telstr WM 6. Now, it does not do give options any longer.

The first two problems have ben resolved by installing the Cab and by using Advanced Config. What do I do about the last 2 issues? Thanking everyone in anticipation.

Hermes disconecting from ActiveSuync

I downloaded this WM 6.1 ROM update ([29.07.2008/16:00] HTC Hermes - S64 WM 6.1 UC Rom) to put on my HTC Hermes. Every time I run the reflash program, the Hermes disconnects from ActiveSync and the Hermes just freezes with a blank screen that says "loading..."

Any ideas what I need to do to reflash?

How do I keep the ActiveSync connection so the update can start / finish?

I'm about ready to throw everything out the window. I was able to get the reflash program running. It's supposed to show a progress bar on the PC and on the Hermes.

I start the program on the PC, it checks the device... no prob.

When the device says "uknown program, could damage device, etc.... do you want to continue." I push Yes, the Hermes goes to a red and green screen (like it did when I reflashed to WM6.0) and then a black screen that says "Loading..."

ActiveSync now disconnects and the install program says ERROR [206] : CONNECTION.

I can't get the Hermes working until I reboot it.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
