NO GSM problem! any solution?

Hi All,
I am facing the dreaded 'No GSM' error and unable to flash radio rom problem.
tried to flash every possible rom including original O2 one. All failed on radio ram flash.
Went through various threads and there seems to be no solution yet for universal (though there seems to be a solution for Hermes).
So all, please help me if there is some light in the end of this tunnel
regards
Topgun

i have tried all the possible things but no luck so far.....
please help

I just bought a used XDA with this same problem. Thought if i flash it it would work... any suggestions on what I can do? i havent touched it yet. Thanks

has ANYONE been able to solve this problem?!!!! Pls what did u do step by step.... I spent so much money on this %&%$& Phone!!! pulllleeeessssss

I haven't had this problem, however it sounds like you phone may be SIM locked? If so, you will need to flash it with the native ROM from it;'s origin. If it is SIM and CID locked, it will only take the OEM signed ROM.
Quote from POF (Moderator)
"Not in 100% of the cases... there are some situations where the radio bootloader is intact, but the radio is screwed, this causes all bootloader commands that require radio seclevel to be queried to hang the device (like 'task 32' or 'info 2'), thus not being able to flash it with the usual RUUs.
If this happens, it can easily be fixed with hermflasher by flashing the raw radio without prior authenticating to bootloader."
If this is of any help. It is from a thread on CID Unlocking RUU for Uni

Thanks.
i have been through that thread.
well the question on that is 'Is hermflasher okay to flash Universal as well'?

Where is this thread? i can try it.... but cant find the thread on cid unlocking ruu for universal in mermes section....

lucky you, I tried that same WM6 ROM (with radio 1.18) and still same problem. I've tried falshing with 2 different desktops and a laptop. Still same problem! Topgun, did u have active sinc installed ? was the PC u used fresh? (no apps installed). do u think if i format my PC it could flash the radio? DID u flash radio only? or the whole laurentious v3 WM6 package (that is at the same time)?
Pls reply

well it was a laptop dell to be precise.
it was never used for window mobile usage previously and hence fresh Active sync 4.5 was installed.
only radio rom 1st (using the RUU check bypassing)......
once succesful, then laurentiius rom was tried.
one more thing i had entered bootloader manually after disabling AS 4.5
i used the original USB cable as well
hope this helps....
suggest get hold of some friends "win mobile virgin" pc/laptop.
P.S>- i am not sure but this prob might be somewhat related to COM ports available on your machine.

NO GSM solution

For those of you who have NO GSM on boot (and I know there are a few). The solution could've been posted some time ago, but might be too far back or lost.
I received a board with locked GSM, showing NO GSM on boot. Every radio flash failed, as well as MTTY and factory ROM attempts. Error 114 and Country ID errors prevent proper flashing of any radio.
Here is what got my GSM sorted - I flashed radio through CID by-pass by inserting the necessary .nbf into flashing facility and managed to flash the radio. On a first boot it will show NO GSM, so will seem like the problem is still there. However, I removed the battery overnight and in the morning the flashed radio showed on the boot screen, the Uni booted as usual and is working as it should.

Thanks enigma
I´ll post this on the FAQ
Cheers,

Not sure why you LOL, but the solution worked for me and I hope it will work for others. I now have a JasJar with Radio 1.18, instead of No GSM on boot and no valid solution offered to everyone with the same problem.

it dosen't work I try it but nothing what can I do

VU2.39 Lost Radio...Out of Service????

Beautifully working VU2.39. Then decided to add new lock ring. Totally messed up phone.
Restored with ROM Manager to prior situation, but have totally lost phone radio (and therefore phone, 3g etc.) Have tried restoring many times, tried airplane mode, wiped cache...all with no solution.
Shows no service, no CDMA or other option exists in settings, phone info shows:
Signal Strength =0
Mobile Network Type unknown
Service state= out of service
What did I do here??? How to fix???

Have now done factory reset and called Verizon. They tried to change manual codes but to no avail. Seems my radio got fried by applying the Captain America launch ring. Is this possible that that was the cause. Worked perfectly before I patched this today.
Help! I don't want a new phone as it will come with 2.3.4 not rootable.

2.3.4 is definitely rootable. And I don't think a ring would change that much. Have you tried flashing a New radio?

I tried flashing new radio. No difference.
I just can't believe that the sense link patch would have actually physically damaged the radio and killed the system, but I cannot get anything to "activate" the radio. In manual program mode ##778, the display settings say "radio version 1.09.01.0622", so the software should be there. But it cannot find the hardware.
I have matched my NAM settings and Home SID to the same as my wife (her phone is fine).

Try flashing this Radio. It's the last one on the list.

No difference whatsoever! So what do you think has happened and how and why? How could flashing the Captain America htc unlock ring have caused such destruction?
Any how could it fry or totally immobilize the radio? I really do not want to replace the phone, but am giving up hope for a solution. It's got to be either something very simple, or the radio did get fried.
And I still don't see where I can unlock and root 2.3.4 on this forum or at the Revolutionary site.

Well...... Was the lockring made for your specific ROM and phone? If not, that may be why.
Have you tried any other ROMs to make sure it's not just something interfering in the ROM itself?
To root 2.3.4, you have to downgrade the hboot v.98 to v.97 following these steps found here.

Link came from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1135020.html
SHould this have bricked the radio??
Can you resend root 2.3.4 link, as the one above goes back to the radio instructions.
Many thanks.

Post edited so the link for 2.3.4 root should work. But, yeah, that's for Thunderbolt, not the DINC2. Try flashing another ROM or full wipe/reflash of VU 2.39. Don't apply any mods until you find out if it works, and see if someone can port the lockring to the DINC2.

Wiped twice regular and dalvik, installed the clean ROM for phone I had saved. DEAD Radio. Bummer, but thanks for you help.
Mobile Network Type= unknown
Service State= out of service
This has not changed with any fixes I have tried.

What about the .722 radio?? Earlier you said you had the .622 radio which is an older one. If that doesn't work, boot into hboot and factory reset (I think this works). Then you'll probably have to re-root. Otherwise, you can get a new phone, and root via the downgrade.

Absolutely no solutions anywhere. Tried everything twice! New phone on the way. Very frustrating situation.

[Q] GRRR! GPS issue

dear all,
i recently bought a HTC ONE X.
all was fine, until the last few updates.
i noticed when i got the .11 update that GPS was not locking on, and i was getting crazy results in Navigation.
silly me, i thought - i know i'll root my phone and stick on an older ROM...Magnolia X - works with GPS fine.
then i found out that i didnt need to root, i could have used an RUU software update to step it down to an older version.
but because id unlocked my bootloader, it wouldnt take it.
i even tried relocking but then even tho it got past the signature stage, it failed on bootloader version at the end.
so now i dont know what to do.
all custome roms are on the latest build, which has the GPS problem.
how can i go back to .7 or .9 ???
can i get the phone back to stock albeit older ROM, after rooting, and unlocking, relocking, unlocking again?
LOL!
Ta lads.

So...stupidly I thought ids give latest custom Rom a chance again. No feckin signal. Is there a stock custom Rom for .9. ? Everyone seems to have updated to .11 sadly. I can't be the only one with this GPS issue

Hello, have you tried to "reset the localisation" ?
See in parameters, you have a localisation folder, try to reinstall localisation ...
Don't know exactly how it's called in english, i have a french phone.
And you can also try a "factory reset".
Plus, it can be a hardware issue, and i don't think a custom ROM can solve a hardware issue ...

Mate how can I go from custom Rom to ruu?

Hello, basically you will have to relock the bootloader and run the appropriate RUU in fastboot ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660642

thanks mate, that worked.
i tried it yesterday but it failed after updating signature, at bootloader.
but i downloaded a later version
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed.exe and it worked
the one failing was
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.7_Radio_1.1204.104.14_release_259281_signed.exe
so im back to stock now.
hope the GPS issue has gone away!!!

nah didnt work mate.
so basically, whether its my phone or what, but any ROM stock or custom based on 1.29.401.11 does NOT lock on to GPS at all.
im using this custom one (magnolia - based on 1.28.707.10)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620942
and it locks on fine.
works ok with SYGIC, but not with GOOGLE Navigation. (constant stopping, and rerouting, but the sat symbol is solid - and not flashing)
unfortunately the only STOCK ROM i can flash with - RUU is the 1.29.401.11 - any lower ones either complain about 155 - unknown error, or its a 140 (or 104) bootloader error.
i tried a Vodafone RUU but that moaned about a Custom ID error or something.
so im fooked.
hopefully HTC will release an updated .13 f/w which will make me happy, but right now i feel duped.
i wish i hadnt ROOTED now, but i had to - to find out that it was a software issue, which it DOES appear to be!
but i know plenty of peoples GPS does work on 1.29.401.11 - mine wont even LOCK!
the reason i suspected software, is that when i first got my phone GPS worked on SYGIC (didnt try GOOGLE NAV) but then i received 2 updates and since then it stopped working.
i tried the SATNAV fix posted on this forum, but when i went into ClockWorkRecovery (CWR) to run UPDATE.ZIP it failed.

HELP Needed!

Good Day Fellow HOX Users
Yesterday I flashed the TripNdroid Linux 3.4.11 Kernel Revised 001 then my phone's Reception was dead after flashing the same Kernel but Revision 002 its still dead After flash the whole ROM + Full Wipe and reflashing everything its still dead, the baseband and IMEI is still there and it dosen't say "Unknown" like other Related problems and I don't want to flash the OEM ROM and return stock because it might get worse
I can't call I can't send SMS but I can use Bluetooth and Wifi
Could Anyone please help me...
Thanks

maybe it's radio related problem, try to flash right ruu for your phone, i think you'll solve

and you're sure you flashed the modules?

Yes I flashed it like 5 times something like that already with the whole ROM

Thats BAD
Okay Guys I did more searching and I found this

Hi
It sounds like a fault, probably the radio chip has just stopped working, no software is going to repair that. If it was a software problem, there would be hundreds or thousands of people all having the same issue.
