++++ Need Helps - No GSM / Can't flash Radio +++++

[tangwd898]

Dear all,

I am having big trouble with my dopod 838 pro, issues is:-

- I can flash a after market ROM - wm6.1 from PDAVIET
- The unit has no GSM when turn on
- the unit has "IPL-1.01, SPL - 1.40.olipro"
- I can't upgrade to Hard-SPL v7.0 nor Hard-SPL v9.0 now, but it can be before.
- can't flash the radio via SD card, it keep stuck at about 10% stage.

can anyone help to solve this problem and make my unit working properly again?

many thanks.

Winston

P.S.

It can't run "Free HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlocker *New* version v3a" fully, always has connection error at the last flashing stage.

If you didn't have HARDSPL on the phone prior to the flash there is a WIKI about how to recover from a bricked phone. If you didn't have NO GSM errors before - EVER you can still get it back. Go to the WIKI section for the HERMES and try the steps there. Your radio is probably just corrupted not damaged but it might be.

Try the steps (ALL in the WIKI) then post back.

I had the same problem but my GSM radio is dying. Was able to get it back partially but it dies again so I'm assuming a hardware problem with my phone. If yours worked before the flash WITHOUT any GSM errors before you should be ok.

hi stim141,

thanks very much for your quick reply.

refer to the wiki page -

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick

i am confusing what's my SPL version and bootloader (HTC_BOOT) version ?

- my unit shows "IPL-1.01, SPL - 1.40.olipro"
- there's no radio version i can find in my unit

so what's my SPL version and bootloader (HTC_BOOT) version ?


thanks.

Your spl is the 1.4 and the bootloader is the first number. The chart in the WIKI can be confusing. It looks as though you should be able to flash just a radio rom. First suggest you try to flash HardSPL. REALLY recommend you flash using the SD card (there is instructions on the Wiki page) because you can have problems with Activesync. Try reflashing just a radio ROM first using the SD card it may come back.

Hi Again,

My SPL is 1.40.olipro, doesn't mean it is HardSPL already?

The second picture has already shown that the unit can't flash the radio via SD card, it keep stuck at about 10% stage.

any solution?

many thanks.

1.40 is an older unsafe version of Hard SPL. V7 (SPL : 2.10 oli) is considered the best for the layperson.
See if you can find what your radio rom was before you tried to unlock it as it will now be 1.16. Its best to re-install the stock radio rom or it may brick permanently. Always go back to stock....

Cheers...:D

[tangwd898]

sorry i have no idea what radio version is my original radio version.

can i just try to flash all version RADIOs one by one to figure it out?

As I said before.....

[tangwd898]

my unit is still dead.:mad:

I've got a Hermes with the same issue. If the MYYT commands don't work, it's a hardware thing. I replaced the motherboard on my Hermes and it works great now (was curious if it would work and how successful i'd be so i just did it today and it's looking great).

[ultramag69]

As kareem9nba said, if the fixes given DON'T work its hardware and has to be replaced. Look on ebay, you might be REALLY lucky and get a fully functional Hermes for cheap, as it may have a problem that yours doesn't and can be used for parts, I know mines made up of 2 different units....
Had a Hermes where the screen went bung, found another on ebay that apparently had same problem as yours... Now I have 1 working Hermes and a few extra spare parts... :D

Cheers...:D
