[Hero, G2 Touch General] HacKage:
You may be right regarding the price of designing and development etc. but I feel the price for that should be put onto the price of the product, not hidden in inflated postage charges.For what it is, the delivery price should be nowhere near £10 and that is what I changed my mind from over.If the rebel sim was say £18, with £3 postage then I probably would have paid that, as the postage price is fair, and considering what it does, I gues the price of the rebel sim could be classed as fair, but it is a pet hate of mine where people on eBay and elsewhere hide extra money in over inflated postage charges.

As far as the cable unlock is concerned, that was posted on the 11th of this month, I asked ferrari 2 days ago if he hada solution andhe said no, then got back in touch with me after a few hours sayng he had a solution that would now work.I actually own my own mobile phone business in Scotland and can currently get the codes for the Orange Hero, but they cost £19, and take between 1-7 days to come through.The whole reaosn why I was interested in the Rebel, and then ferraris solution is that I don't wish to wait potentially 7 days for an unlock.Rebel would have been next day, and ferrari is saying instant.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RetroFlux:
Please post back and let us know how you get on Ferraripassion's solution as plenty of people are in the same boat- myself included which is why I started this thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] CharlieUK:
I just rang up a company in the UK that said they can do it. But they charged £40, and didn't have any clue about Orange being different. So I don't trust them.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RetroFlux:
£40!!! Was that for a code? Or cable unlock solution.

It was Orange themselves who told me about the codes being changed and having to use the Hero on a contract for a few months before a code could be issued.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] HacKage:
I am still awaiting reply from ferrari, if i have not done so by monday I think I will go for the other option I have that takes 1-7days.Either way, I will keep the board posted as to what way I go and how it turned out
[Hero, G2 Touch General] CharlieUK:
@Hackage

Thanks for keeping us updated. Seems like ferrari is a bit mystical. Randomly posting a few words, not really giving much away.

Can you go straight to Orange for anyone? Because I'd be happy to wait 7days.

And the £40 was for an unlock code, that would take 48hours to arrive.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RetroFlux:
Well after I posted on this thread complaining that ferrari had not given me a refund he asked to PM him the details (I presumed so he would refund me) he PM'd back saying it is the same code and I just need to flash a different rom.

I have modacos 2.8 on now but still using my rebel sim, I will try the unlock code with it and post back the results.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RetroFlux:
Well f*ck me side ways, it worked. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] CharlieUK:
Looks like I'm gonna have to flash the ROM then.

No idea how, but I guess I'll just look on the forum.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] essojay:
WORKED PERFECTLY HERE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

running modaco 2.8 after rooting etc

bR
[Hero, G2 Touch General] HacKage:
How are you getting it to work then?Are your Heros orange locked?Did you just flash your Hero and the HTC code worked, or is it the Orange code that you got?Very confused here now..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] CharlieUK:
Unlock HTC Hero on Orange Successful

Use this site, http://theunlockr.com/ whilst having an orange sim in the phone.

follow the instructions on how to install a custom rom and then put ur sim in once the rom is installed, and enter ur unlock code.

AWESOME!
[Touch HD General] gushinam:
MY problem is. The wifi won’t turn on, and when u go to wifi icon in the connection the turn on wifi won’t be ticked. I have tried a lot off rom and even back to the original Orange rom and spl, all the same didn’t change anything.

I’ve been advised that my WiFi EEPROM has been corrupted or blanked somehow, that's the usual cause.

I need to get hold of an EEPROM from another device and write it onto mine.

This problem has already been known and solution has been found for Hermes model (below is the link to that thread) :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=322225

Can anybody help me in my problem? I need tools (something similar used for Hermes model) and working Touch HD.

P.S. As I can see, by reading this forum, this is not only my problem.
[Touch HD General] Greatdane:
I got the same problem as u, The wifi wont on and ticked.

But some times it will. I also doubt this is an hardware problem.

Because some time it will turn on and some times it wont.

any help here?
[Touch HD General] Greatdane:
Now, I found My problem.

When ever I instaled any program. the wifi will stoped working.

is that software issue?

or hard ware issue?

But when I didnt instal any third application the wifi work perfectly, I have changed to several rom including 6.5 coocked.
[Touch HD General] osajas:
i'm sorry to tell u this guys, because i used to have the same problem and even worse the camera used to show only blank screen and i my pc couldn't detect my HD via USB, so i searched for solutions but i couldn't find any. I guess the only solution for this problem is by replacing the main board by HTC so if ur mobile is still under warranty go and replace it as i did. I'm also afraid to face this problem again cuz i found that many people are having this problem. plz let me know if manneged to get it works without replacing the main board.
[Touch HD General] gushinam:
I am trying to attract our gurus' and moderators’ attention, because I believe that we can solve this problem without replacing mainboard. I also believe that HTC corp is making profit by receiving our some kind of broken mainboards, reflash them with the stock EEPROm and sell it as a new again.

Our gurus are spending their times to create bulk of custom ROMs, where at the same time solving such problem with WiFi, looks more interesting and challenging.

Also I understand that if we had real hardware problem, no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, nothing would work. But everything is OK, apart from Wi-Fi.

If we have done this for Hermes model, why not to do something for HD as well.
[Touch HD General] sidelong:
Intermittent wifi

I now also have this problem, having just received a replacement from Orange for my original HD, which I dropped resulting in a badly cracked screen. This first unit had no problem with wifi, and I used it regularly on my home network. I loaded up the new one with all the same software, and, lo and behold, the wifi has become intermittent. Sometimes it works fine, at others when I attempt to switch it on the wifi symbol appears at the top of the screen momentarily and then disappears again, and there are also periods when it won't switch on at all. I have been trying to detect some pattern to this, or if there is something specific that triggers it, but so far without success. I am close to asking Orange for another replacement, and the comments above re corrupted wifi eeprom reinforce this. I also would be interested to hear from the gurus about this issue.
[Touch HD General] c_lee:
Loads of people report the problem, here and on other sites, but HTC has never explained what was wrong with the returned units (simply swopping MoBos and sending them back) and neither has anyone shown what combination of things "triggers" it - if indeed there is a trigger. It may just be a QC issue.

There was an anecdotal suggestion that the BT/WiFi antennas are too close to the board, so despite the EM shielding running the two together could cause damage, but nobody's been able to replicate it (and I doubt they ever will, as it requires someone to intentionally fry a working handset - not a cheap way to prove a point!).
[Touch HD General] matt_not_andrew:
I've had this problem now for a while and even sent my phone back to HTC for repair. It came back to me about 3 weeks ago and they said they fixed it. I never tested it when I got it back (stupid, I know!) and recently found it not working again. Today I hard reset the phone and found it worked but then didn't after installing Copilot SatNav. Bugger!

Does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve sending the phone back because when HTC reboot the phone they'll find that it works (surprisingly as no software will ghave been loaded!)

Any ideas?
[Touch HD General] AussieMatt:
+1 No WIFI + Camera + Strange USB connection (IT IS SOFTWARE)

+1 No Wifi, No Camera and stupid USB

The USB works I can flash from computer so it must work.

The USB dosnt ussually work unless flashing.

The Wifi just wont go/stay on at all

6.5 Roms there is no Camera Icon

6.1 Roms when the Camera Icon is hit, nothing happins

This has to be fixable by software, I know I can get the USB working and it is ONLY software as I can Flash it through USB, and in Bootloader it shows up USB when connected. Note:- Also my battery wont charge from USB, testing to see if its battery problem soon, but semi sure it is Software problem, as it will charge a little bit when left in Bootloader mode all day.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP, I brought my phone from China (actually came from Belgium) and I am from Australia, don't wanna send my phone a million miles away to Europe.

Edit: USB seems to be charging under Energy Rom and (I don't know if this helps) 1.17.25.09 Radio.
[Touch HD General] tabi13:
Seems to me that we can try the EEPROM fix if we find out the WLAN EEPROM address for the Touch HD.

Any experts here to shine a light on this?

Edit: Have been doing some more testing and when I try the emapiTest command in MTTY USB mode (with HardSPL 1.56) here is the output I get:

emapi init 1251 Test

1. Power on WiFi

2. Init WLAN SDIO interface

8. Interrupt Test

Can anyone who knows what they are talking about shed some light on this?
[Touch HD General] Noonski:
To be sure it is not Software related.

Can people post their Rom

And the registry key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\WLAN]

"DeviceName"="{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\\TNETW12511"

(note this is the Registry key for the Diamond Wifi to work directly, Blackstone Wifi could have another GUID)

Also try to locate the wrlsmgr.exe in windows folder and try to start Wifi with that default Windows CommManager.

I've seen other devices where the address in the WLAN key was wrong, and it would show the behaviour one user posted here, you see Wifi pop up a second or two but disappear again)
[Touch HD General] tabi13:
First of all, thanks Noonski to stop by to check out this thread :)

My rom is the official 1.56.405.1 WWE Wm6.1 ROM

Even wrlsmgr cant switch my wifi on.

My wifi worked initially then started niggling, the whole switch on, switch off thing, and now it doesnt switch on at all...

Oh and my reg key at the location is the same

{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TNETW12511

I have tried quite a few roms now including doing MTTY task 29 to format phone and load new roms from sd card followed by 2 hard resets...
[Touch HD General] Noonski:
Ai, wouldn't know where to go for MTTY and hardware issues.

I do remember the Dying radio on the original XDA issue, so it's not improbable.

I'll make this temp Sticky to see if it get's some attention by others.
[Touch HD General] WingZer0n:
My WIFI is dead also....but thank god I got dataplan....but I still wished someone can solve it.
[Touch HD General] Georgeous2008:
Just to confirm that Blackstone Wifi has the same GUID as shown here above. My Wifi is still working, official stock ROM 1.56.401 WWE, radio version 1.13, no ROM or radio flashes performed so far (other than official ROM upgrade) ...
[Touch HD General] gushinam:
Thank you for stopping by. Without you guys, we will not be able to attract our gurus attention to this problem. By the way, Blackstone Wifi has the same GUID as shown above. My ROM is one of the EnergyRom 3.0 , radio version 1.14.25.24.

Just let me know what to do and I will start testing. Also I have working Blackstone around from which we can extract working EEPROm. Just give me tools and instructions.
[Touch HD General] gushinam:
I remember that I issued this command on my phone and has exact output you've posted. I also rememer that I've done that on the working one and it has different output stating that wlan is OK and there was not any

[Touch HD General] SuperSport:
I find it very interesting that the Trinity has the EXACT same registry entry. Also, the exact same WLAN Radio. So, is there a different WLAN Radio that is having the same issue (I don't remember the Hermes one), or is it solely the TNETW12511 that has the issue? Would be nice to help narrow it down a bit.

Could it be that by using these dumped ROMs that we are inadvertantly flashing code for a different WLAN Radio that is corrupting our eeproms? Maybe there is a small part of code hidden within the DUMPS that still remains? Just some thoughts... This problem seems to be happening more and more since WM6.5?

But I also realize it may be happening more and more because more people are flashing now than ever!
[Touch HD General] roshka:
I have same situation with WiFi on my HD.

I would like to say something, which could be useful for gurus.

Sometimes my phone catching WiFi after a few soft resets. 3-4 times and I could connect to WiFi network.
[Touch HD General] edangel:
Solution to work your wifi...

Hey guys...I had the same problem for my blackstone till i flashed many roms and wifi didnt work after all...SO HERE IS A SOLUTION FOR PERHAPS 70% TO WORK ALL FOR YOU...after flashing a rom if you did,and after hard resetsome options are automatically sets to default...so..i have WM6.5 ..GO TO START-SETTINGS-CONNECTIONS-ADVANCED NETWORK AND THEN ChaNGE FROM HSDPA/HSUPA to ONLY HSDPA...and hope to work for you guys.....for me it worked....and if you will flash again another rom dont forget to apply these settings to work your beloved wifi hehe...
[Touch HD General] grahampaull:
Nope

Did'nt work for me :-(. I Miss my Wi-Fi.

This has been resolved on BOTH the Hermes & now Trinity. Please see gruptnt's work here, starting at Post 340 on this Page:

I hope this helps a Blackstone Guru to get yours going.
[Touch HD General] gushinam:
thank you that you are trying to help. But we need to understand that we are talking about the wifi standard which is 802.11a,b,g not HSDPA/HSUPA wireless standard. I did what you said but no luck. Of course no luck, because wifi EEPROM is blank.
[Touch HD General] gushinam:
This is exactly what i was talking about. I would be very grateful if you could promote this thread and ......no .....i need to refrase it..We all would be very grateful if you could promote our thread and help us by asking gruptnt and drummer to have a look on our problem. As I have already said , i have my friends working Touch HD from which we can read/dump working wifi eeprom, i have my Touch HD with dead wifi....I just need tools and directions. I am ready to spend my countless hours to read dumps to find out where in memory should be placed mac address.

Interesting fact..Olipro was that man who advised me that I didn't fried my wifi, it just corrupted eeprom wifi...but it was almost year ago. year without wifi :(
[Touch HD General] gushinam:
Ok, lets start to do something. Can you tell me how have you managed to read eeprom and dump it. Do we need special developer edition hard spl to be able to read the nand sectors of our Toch HD. I have read almost all details of your thread and can not combine everything into one process. I can see that you did a lot of things and suddenly gruptnt find a solution, he managed to create .nb file.

I have several questions:

What password we need to use?

How to dump working eeprom? what tool to use? ..... mtty?

If mtty what command we need to use?
[Touch HD General] SuperSport:
Hi gushinam. gruptnt is the one who figured out the fix for the Trinity. I have not specifically asked him, but I believe he used the Hermes HardSPL and modified it for use on the Trinity. Yes, it needs to be a special Developer Edition HardSPL in order to dump the full WLAN EEPROM. Our Trinity one did not work, and I think that was the work gruptnt needed to do.

Once he did that, we used the steps in the Hermes thread to complete the update. We did use MTTY, and the hermes password was 16 1's, but on our Trinity, and I believe your phones it will be BsaD5SeoA. You may find that incorrect, but it's worth a try. MTTY only works on Windows XP unless you use the XP hack I just posted on my Video Tutorials found here.

Again, all credit goes to gruptnt for getting our Trinity's going, I just added tutorials for those who were still having trouble.
[Touch HD General] gushinam:
Ok. here what I've done. using the process for recovery dead wifi on the Trinity which have been described by SuperSport. I edited the file trin100.nb. I changed the name T.R.I.N.100 to the B.L.A.C.100 in one of the offset. i changed serial number and mac address in the file as well. I renamed file to the blac100.nb. Moved file to the placed where mtty is located.

In mtty i entered "task 32" and entered password BsaD5SeoA, it said PASS. When I entered "lnb blac100.nb 500a0000 40000" , it said COMMAND ERROR.

What does it mean Command Error. The "lnb" command is not accepted or wrong memory offset numbers. if lnb not accepted then special HardSPL is needed. If Memory is wrong, then we need dump working eeprom and find the correct offset.
[Touch HD General] SuperSport:
I think command error means your HardSPL is not allowing that function. But, you've confirmed MTTY Connects, and the Password is correct, that's a start.

I don't think you can use our nb file directly, even with changes. I think you will need a dumped Working version of your's in order to change the MAC Address and Serial Number. I'm pretty sure we have different WLAN hardware.

Getting the Dumped working Version is what we had trouble with. gruptnt was finally able to create a HardSPL that allowed dumping our Full WLAN EEPROM. I think that is the next step for you guys.

After that step, you will need a corrected HardSPL that allows lnb commands. Maybe your's already works, but a step was left out or the memory addresses are different? I don't have your phone to try the steps with... :(
[Touch HD General] gushinam:
I do need some advice from programmers.....if only our ROM developers....pay more attention to this thread......couldn't they understand that reflashing many times could also damage wifi eeprom....solving this problem everybody could sleep quietly. I think the dump of the whole working EEPROM should be the first step for all users before flashing cooked ROM... I would say any ROM even official rom.
[Touch HD General] SuperSport:
I Strongly agree with this statement! As soon as gruptnt is ready to release his modified HardSPL, that is the FIRST thing I will be doing with my Trinity...
[Touch HD General] gushinam:
Ok. We need MFG-Spl for Blackstone. Without that we will not be able to read EEPROM and write it back.

Dear Moderators,

I would be very grateful if you could find it necessary to pin this thread in the Rom development thread as well. If it is possible, of course. We need help from HARD-Spl makers and programmers.

I believe that there is a risk of damaging wifi eeprom during flashing cooked ROM. We need to find solution for dumping the whole working EEPROM and especially WiFi EEPROM. Also we need to find the way of restoring it to the non-working phone.

I know that it is not so easy, as it seems to be. But this is a real challenge and interesting one.

Just imagine how people think: Why I need all this different nice looking ROMs if at the end I will not be able to use my WiFi. or Bluetooth for example.
[Touch HD General] savagemari:
My Wi-Fi problem was solved only in service.
[Touch HD General] Vallia:
I had the same problem with WiFi, and i send it to service, first they tried flashing the device, and they got it to work, but of cause when i got it back i flashed it with Miri rom, and then it did not work again, so i send it back to service, and got them to change the motherboard, and now it works fine with the Miri rom. :)

[Touch HD General] markqld:
Anyone experience these symptoms?

I've had this WI-FI problem since new but it's been getting worse and worse:

Wi-Fi turns on most of the time (on first or second attempt) if device is cold and hasn't been used for 10 mins or so.

If it is warm or I've just turned Wi-Fi off it is hard to get it to turn back on:

1. Busy symbol appers for almst 10 seconds, then Wi-Fi switch goes to on for 1/2 a second then immediately off again. Also Wi-Fi symbol appears for 1/2 second on taskbar.

2. Other times: especially afer a soft reset Wi-Fi will not turn on AT ALL. Busy symbol appears but no switch movement or Wi-Fi symbol.

The only fix is to remove the battery for several minutes and restart.

Anyone else experience same symptoms? :confused:

PS: I would like to thank edangel for his suggestion to Change settings HSDPA/HSUPA to ONLY HSDPA: Although the problem still exists, This has more than halved the time it takes before I can retry to switch Wi-Fi on again after a failed attempt.
[Touch HD General] cruizer:
what worked for me

i faced the exact same problems with the wifi in my touch hd - it would not come on at all - the green wifi button in the comm manager would not get activated.

i flashed the latest rom many times and it would work for some time - then it would revert to the same state. coupled with this, i also landed up with the camera problem - "unable to get frame data from camera device".

on the off chance (to facilitate a backup), i took off my sd memory card and plugged it in directly to my computer - and guess what - i detected a virus - the win32/peerfrag.FT worm...

this was after all the security settings on my (laptop) eset antivirus were turned to on - i could not detect the virus on my desktop.

assuming (and hoping that this was the issue), i cleared the sd card - reflashed the rom and now - all problems are solved.

wifi is working, camera is working and the phone is going great guns.

there was a directory added on my sd card that was called SLATKO which had the icon of a recycle bin - in which the virus was residing. this could be seen only after all the view directory options on my windows explorer were activated (hidden system files etc).

so far, it's been a happy time since the last reflash -

try this cleanup - hope it may be the issue and work for you...
[Touch HD General] markqld:
Which anti virus scanner did you use?

I can't see it on mine but when I do an advanced search for SLATKO (on SDD Card) I get a weird and suspicious popup message: "Please insert the last disc of Multi-Volume set and click OK to continue".

I tried scanning SDD card with AVG but it detects nothing.
