NO GSM error - can't flash radio! - P3600 Software Upgrading

Hi,
I have trinity and after OS and radio upgrades I noticed that the phone function doesn't work anymore - when turning on the device it shows "no gsm" sign. Afterwards it wouldn't boot in OS anymore - I tried to flash different OS and radios, but with no success - it stucks at 0% when trying to flash radio. I'm able to flash OS, but it won't let me past boot screen anyway!
I have flashed HARD SPL and also unlocked the device with unlocker.
What are my options - how to flash the radio?
Thanks!

DO I REALLY HAVE TO THROW OUT THE PHONE?
how can I flash gsm if the radio bootloader is corrupt?

same problem
hi karlux i`m having same problem did you find a solution for yours?

Hi, it seems that there are several cases when it's not possible to flash the radio back to Hermes.
So the devices stays in NO GSM state and you can use the as a PDA only - and the NO GSM error makes it to work realy bad - with a lot of errors - like: can't install some software, hungs up etc.

Flashing Radios

i have tried the SSPL and it works, i can flash the 3 roms i have found for the breeze
RUU_BREE100_1.13.251.2_1.06.00.10_QtekEUR_Ship_R3
RUU_BREE100_1.32.251.1_1.29.00.10_HTC
RUU_BREE100_1.34.251.1_1.38.00.10_HTCEUR_SHIP
but since i flashed the 1.38 radio rom without using this sspl. whenever i use the sspl i can only flash the rom not the radio. my phone is now stuck on the 1.38 radio which drops calls after about 30 mins and the battery life is really crap, i am on area where u get full 2g or 1 bar of 3g so its doing its trademark searching and killing the battery.
I have tried duttys tool with the radio extracted and put on the SD card and flashed but no joy.
my device is not SuperCID i just use the SSPL to bypass it.
anyone got any ideas how i can flash the 1.29 radio or for that fact any radio to phone instead of the rom?
i've read that many have tried 1.20 radio to solve a few problems but i have no idea how i can flash this. I have tried to make my own rom with the tools here but again they just flash the new OS living the radio 1.38.00.10. i am downloading RUU_Radinly_1.20.31.10.exe and will flash it if i knew how. SSPL just turns around and says invalid ID error 244. so its like the radio isn't designed for this device.
anyone got any idea ?
1.29 is even worse than 1.38... Missed calls in full GSM coverage (4 bars), horrible sound quality (either you or called party can't hear most of the conversation)... Don't even try it!
And concerning the problem not being able to flash new radio:
As I already wrote in this thread, flashing Radio ROM 1.29 (and above) also flashes new Radio Bootloader 0108 (different thing than Phone bootloader) which requires SPL 1.09 (or newer) to flash Radio ROMs.
Current SSPL for Breeze is based on some older SPL which, as you found out, isn't compatible. Until someone creates SSPL for Breeze based on SPL 1.09 or SPL 1.10, you're stuck just like me...
thanks very much for the post explaining it. i have read someone might make a new sspl with the new spl's in mind so as you said, we have to wait and i guess i will. i am however going to send my breeze back to HTC because of the constant dropping of calls whether it is 10seconds or 35 mins, it drops it without fail.

Problems updating Radio ROM

Hi all,
I have a Spanish Vodafone P3600. (S300). I've run into problems while updating the radio ROM and several other things.
I've managed to change the SPL, all versions, no problem. Even the hard SPL. The problem arises with almost ALL ROMS and ALL RADIO ROMS. I put the PDA in bootloader mode and I begin the updating process. Well, it stays at 0% all the time, both in PC screen and PDA screen. When I am tired of waiting (more than 30) minutes, then I have to take the battery off. The PDA goes into bootloader and I have to apply the unbrick procedure.
I have only been able to put the FAMAN 3.5 Spanish ROM (WM6) so the PDA works when I unbrick it. However, it does not have RADIO ROM and it shows "no GSM" at boot and obviously I cannot use it as a phone.
Is it broken? Why can't I flash the radio ROM? Somebody with a similar problem?
Thank you all very much in advance.
Best,
Unsolvable problem
Thanks all for the feedback. Pof was kind enough to address the problem.
I ditched the radio bootloader (not the regular bootloader) and a a result I cannot flash the radio. It seems that the phone has to be sent for repair.
"if it works... don't touch it" I should have paid attention to this

no gsm radio problem

hi, i've a big problem, i've upgraded my phone today, because it was a mda3 german locked on t-mobile. but the only way to make the upgrade work was not to upgrade radio, so i didn't put it. so, now the phone has been updated in my language, but when i power on it, it says no gsm. can someone say how can i do please!
Which rom did you flash? What is written after letter R while doing a soft reset?
no r
it does not appear anything, the only thing is that
NO GSM
D 5108.a771la
are you sure it's not a CDMA phone? ( j/k)
try reflashing the old rom. and see if it will go back.
if not...
then you are forced to flash the radio rom to a new version
because as you say it cant detect any if you flashed with the new rom.
but i dont see any relevance to the carrier when upgrading the radios, it's still quadband.
and you're stil using the SAME sim card.
hi, i still cannot reflash the radio of my phone, anyone can help me it always says "NO GSM" !!! PLEASE, HELP ME!!!!
please, tell me also if there is a way to format the memory where is installed the radio. thanks

As far as I know, the only way to 'format the radio stack' is to flash it with a new radio version.
Your original post is too vague as well.
You have a MDA III from T-Mo, that would make it a GSM = good
"only way to make the upgrade work was not to upgrade radio" - This doesn't make sense as the radio ROM is a separate flash from the OS ROM, the two are not part of the same flash code.
You also 'upgraded' your phone. From what to what? We need to know where and what ROM you flashed the phone to and from.
As for the screen showing NO GSM, is this after power cycling the phone by removing the battery? There is a know bug with WM5 and above where the GSM radio stack is not loaded on boot after a power cycle. The workaround is to soft reset the phone after it shows NO GSM.
(Huh, I'm a senior member now? Wonder when/how that happened... )
hi, thank you for answer.
i dont exactly know which os and radio rom were originally, i bought it original but used and the os was modded by t-mobile in deutch. i upgraded it to wm5 a771la ver 5.1.0.8 and the radio 1.15. then the os worked properly but it says no gsm. i know the bug you said me, because i have it on an another mda III of my brother, there after a soft reset i can solve this problem but it says NO RADIO on two lines, there, there is only one NO GMS . i know that the two roms are in two different flash memories infact i can flash and re-flash the os but when i try to flash the radio an error occurs. please, let make me know if these information can help you to solve my problem. thanks!

And what error is appearing? I didn't see it in your original post.
Personally, I'd try this:
Remove the SIM and any SD cards.
Make sure the battery is fully charged.
Put the phone into boot loader mode
Plug it into a XP (Not Vista) machine
Check to see if the OS recognizes the phone. I believe it will show up as some kind of USB device, not a Generic RNDIS device (I don't have my angel handy to check this)
Then run the radio flash program.

'No GSM' after numerous radio version flashes

I tripped over my usb cable while flashing an official orange rom + radio version a few months ago, and bricked my trinity. Left it on a shelf for ages & decided to try to revive it a few days ago.
The problem was that the thing kept hanging after the splash screen, all the backlights would go on and it would hang. I managed to splxploit it to get hardspl back on there (olipro 1.3) & successfully flashed a few OS roms from here but it still hung on the (now different) splash screen. Realised that the 'No GSM' thing was a killer, so tried reflashing a few radio versions, and that worked fine as far as the flash was concerned through USB / HSPL.
However, it still says 'No GSM' and hangs at boot. Any ideas? I've run all the tasks from mtty with spl-1.30lipro, the CID shows the HTC SuperCID(hex) etc successfuly, and it formats the OS portion successfuly. Task 2a, like with others, just returns a new prompt after a second or so.
I've got radio 1.56.70.11 on there apparently. It still says 'No GSM', although this goes away a lot quicker now, whereas before it would hang with that on the screen...
Help?? Should I throw it in the bin?
Thanks a lot, any help is much appreciated...

you've killed the radio BL in that case, bad timing on your part, sadly it's unrecoverable.
the only fix is desoldering the radio chip and soldering a new one in.
Have you tried whith the version 1.20? The version 1.30 gives some trouble flashing the radio
same problem...no way for me in this moment!
do you solve?
flash with hard-spl 1.20 ou crash'n'proof... then try again... it works with me

Definately, don't throw it away. It's still worth $$$. A lot of people can use it for parts if you don't get it working. Offer it up for sale on here if that's the case.

[Q] Rebooting, gets stuck at bootup screen

Hi there
I just bought a new Topaz. I have HardSPL and then tried to apply a new ROM. Now it keeps on rebooting - it only gets to the screen where it says TOUCH DIAMOND 2 - and the the red numbers appear in the lower right corner - and then it reboots..
Is it bricked or is there anything I can do??
I tried to hard reset - but it still keeps rebooting
No not bricked.
Must be an incompatible ROM or you didn't HSPL to 2.51.
Just find another ROM, Stock or otherwise (since you are HSPL'd, but check your version first), go into Bootloader Mode and flash with RUU.exe.
Thank you Bruce!!
I'm still having problems though. I have tried to install a few different stock ROM - both 6.1 and 6.5. Everytime the same issue - I get stuck on loading the new ROM and it keeps rebooting.
I have tried to upgrade spl to 2.51 but still the same issue
What else can I do??
What does your SPL show in bootloader mode?
Make sure it has Olinex as a suffix.
Thanks again Bruce,
Yes it says Olinex.. When I first got the phone I tried to install a new ROM and I forgot to do SPL first - could it be that something serious went wrong in that attempt?
Anything else I can try?

Is it 1.83.Olinex or 2.51.Olinex?
Flashing a ROM w/o HSPL will most certainly mess up your device but it should be recoverable if you can find your stock ROM for your carrier and region.
You symptoms sound as if you are on 1.83 trying to flash 2.51 SPL ROMS.
Hi, im having the same issue as OP, i tried to flash the latest Energy rom (sept 8) onto my td2 and the bootscreen is showing 1.83.Olinex. What do i do to fix this?
You must have HSPL 2.51 for this ROM and for all newest roms.
