Ok, think I initially really messed up my flash and the WM6 which was the official HTC version may have been corrupted but showed full flash. When I tried again I would also get the 12% even with a SD flash. So I tried flashing just a RADIO ROM which did complete. The NO GSM message still would pop up maybe 50% and not necessarily everytime.

When to MTTY.EXE and did a bad block check - no problems

In MTTY did a FORMAT/CLEAR.

Left everything alone and again reflashed just the RADIO - things seemed to be better - less NO GSM.

Tonight - just before you posted I successfully did a complete reflash with the HTC WM6 rom with Radio 1.48. Very surprised it worked this time - no hangups except during the GSM part which only stopped a minute or two.

Complete reflash in about 10-12 minutes with the SD card method.

SO far things are working - tried a reboot a few times and now radio is found every try. Will try for a few hours and try again tomorrow.

What I did have is a white screen/with image once - it was cleared by just pressing briefly the power button. So it may be heat related - don't know.

Keep me posted in this thread whats going on and I'll do the same.

What ROM WM5 did you flash to get yours to work?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] stim141:
Spoke too soon! Put in a sim card - powered up and it worked. Tried making test call and it worked. Tried again and it showed dialer and dialing and never connected. Could not use the dialer to hang up. Also showed drop in network. Tried turning phone radio off in dialer and back on - showed !X. With the phone off hook image at the top bar. Tried again - same thing. Expected to see no GSM when power cycled and it did show NO GSM.

Right now its working even after a few power cycles but honestly I think the successful flashes may be due to the GSM radio being found. If it doesn't find the radio and you attempt to flash thats why it hangs. If you phone works for a few days or day I'd be very surprised. The real test is to try it when moving from tower location to tower location. Thats where I noticed the radio was acting up. With a bluetooth headset it will beep indicating a drop in carrier. When its doing this the radio isn't working properly and can't lock on to a signal

If your phone does work PLEASE post what you did and what files were flashed.

For my phone I think its heat related. Possibly the heat from the circuitry is opening up or stressing out a component causing it to fail. I really think my motherboard is faulty and reading on the HERMES this isn't that uncommon. Being that the phone has so little hours I think it must have been a return or factory reject.

More than likely I'll have to purchase another phone needing a screen or one thats in poor shape to salvage the motherboard and attempt to put it in my case since the housing and screen are pristine with little to no use. I've been told that any 8525 motherboard will work but I doubt it since the Dpad is different and I have a front video camera.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
No, ANY Hermes mainboard will work... Hermes are identical internally, even the 8525 is able to use the front camera, it just isn't included in that model.

ok mate i used htc orig rom by orange uk google the words,,,, orange spv m3100 update ummm ok hang on il grab the link for you ...

http://www.orange.co.uk/business/downloads/SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_1007.exe then flash hard spl then update your rom to whatever you like ,,, hope this helps buddy :D:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] stim141:
Might try it tonight but I really think I need a new mainboard. I am able to flash only when it finds the GSM and I think any hangups are due to the GSM radio circuity failing or some strange power flux on the motherboard. I am having strange multiple freezes/slowdowns as well as NO GSM errors. Tried a WM5 and WM6 specific for my HERM200 and no change. When it works it will work and make and receive calls but after a while without a load but under load - multiple calls, running excel or other things the radio will drop or it will attempt a call, not connect and will not let me hang up. No software update will fix this issue - it has to be hardware.

If I have successfully done base HTC ROM flashes - complete with radio phone should theoretically work. I have to face reality with this one which although looks pristine is a lemon and have to buy a working beat up 8525 and try the motherboard as long as the seller assures that the phone can make and receive calls without problems.

Also have other issues with screen fadeout which I know is tied to the dPad controller - but I can live with that for a while and I have a source for a part replacement and can try a quick fix to verify its just the dPad.

You got lucky so far - but if you try to use the phone all day running multiple programs or CPU intensive tasks your radio still may fail. You could also try upgrading the ROM again to something that is MFG and see if it takes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
It is possible to flash the OS without flashing the radio, It will be a cooked rom but they're better in most respects than a stock rom. Faster, leaner with all the bloatware removed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] stim141:
No software change is going to fix this. Its not a software bug its a flaw in the hardware. Can't flash a radio Rom - thats a chip problem. Its basically a low level format and write to eprom. Thats pretty basic. Also making and receiving calls is also pretty basic. The dialer has been around for a while and is pretty stable.

I posted this before but it disapeared after all the threads got moved to off topic today and all recent posts where lost so I assume thats why this thread disappeared too, but if was taken down purposely then sorry for putting it back up anyways, it said this: (or something like that)

I have read a lot of articles and posts on xda and other sites saying it will come to t-mobile also some say that a leaked rom shows that it has been configured for t-mobile's network, so do you think this is true, keep in mind t0mobiel hasnt been getting a lot of wm phones recently

so do you think it will come to T-mobile or not?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Link278:
so wait does that mean its officially coming to t-mobiel though, and also when will it if it does, and also do u know if a data plan is required sorry for all the questions but I have done a lot of googling and havent found the answers to any of these questions
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] omaralt:
U haven't found answers because nobody knows. I don't think it will require data plan because none of their other windows mobile phones require data plan
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] d474rpr:
I can say with a great deal of faith that this device will be available from T-Mobile.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Link278:
I think your right, now my next question is do you think it will require a data plan, cause no other phone from wm has ever required one and I think the iphone requred one but then the fuze didnt also, T-mobile emplyes told me that the G1 actually NEEDS a data plan to work right because it has to be linked to your gmal account, if that was their exuse last time then we all no they will be lieing if they say that this time because we all know that wm DOES NOT requrire one, and also, a question I have had for a while is does the 2nd android phone that was released in some othere country need a data plan, and if the os is the same then maybe it really is just the android os
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] d474rpr:
How about, I know for a fact that it is. I'm looking at a T-Mobile branded Rhodium right now. :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] d474rpr:
Yes, sir that would be the HTC Maple/Snap. It's actually a nice phone for a smartphone and I'm usually not a big fan. It is also coming to T-Mobile about the same time as the Rhodium.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Link278:
HOW??? do yyou work for t-mobile, if so I gota get me a job there lol, anyways do you know if it needs a data plan??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] d474rpr:
Don't beleive everything you read on the internet. The HTC Snap is slated for a T-mobile release.

Hi ppl,

I've found out a ROM cooked by elMInStER (in English) :eek:

I've tried and is almost 100% good. Yep, there's some bugs, but not something too painfull (for me).

Any way, here comes the links:

Link for LITE version (I didn't tested)

and..

Link for full version with M2D(Tested and Running!)

elMInStER wrote that he hasn't a Mio A501 and he's focusing himself on cooking A701 ROM's but, I really hope that the XDA family can now start developping this great peace of work that he done.

One huge small step was made!!

The list of the buggs detected on the ROM:

- I confirm the doubled shortcuts to eUtility and Office/MobileOffice and the SimManager remained in Polish language

- wrong Camera.lnk shortcut (should point to the CCam.exe program instead)

- problems with mapping of the functional buttons:

- in WM5 I had 4 items to set, now there are 3 only

- I can remap no.1 & 2 to some stuff, but not the no.3

- I miss the possibility (from the WM5 ROM) to set automatic keylocking when I suspend the device (pushing the power button) ->Installing slide2unlock solved.

Do this at your own risk! I take no reponsibility if you damage or brick your A501!

You need Windows XP for this!!! as it does not work with vista!

1. Download the File and unzip it.

2. Check that your A501 is not connected to your PC.

3. Disable USB option in Active Sync by right clicking on tray icon, Choosing <Connection Settings> and then Unmarking <Allow USB connections> (remember to enable this after finishing the guide).

4.Open the file ChiSync33.

5. Enter in the bootloader menu by pressing and holding VolumeUP button + NavigationDown button and then pressing and holding RESET button for 4 seconds and releasing the reset button and when the menu appears then the other pressed buttons.

6. Connect your A501 to the PC through USB and wait until the A501 image on top of the Window on your PC appears without the red circle and then press the first update button that you see from top to bottm.

7. The upload begins and then after it is finished the A501 will restart....It will take some time to restart, you will have to go through the initial setup (calibrate the screen, set the time and date.. etc) and after another automatic restart you will see a menu where you can choose from some languages coose your language and then there will be another automatic restart. and thats it!!

As a big fan of elMInStER work, I've seen that he's cooking WM6.5 for A701 and it would be great to see the same happening for the A501.

elMInStER, since you are the only guy in the world (not chinese) that make us taste this wonderfull sweet home made cooking ROM's, please, but please, cook this one for me. ;)

P.S.: I'm living in Krakow and people from Microsoft (in Krakow Business Park - HCL - KBP100) are amazed with you. We need more people like you, we should meet! :D
