Have I Screwed Up This Time? Tell me it ain't sooo - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Ever since I flashed my rom with the 4.00.10 I have not been able to get my old image back on it nor flash a different rom image. Have I totally messed this thing up? This is the error that I get...
error getting connectiontype
Even though it connects with active sync just fine, it says it can't get connection type. How can I overcome this? I booted up to the bootloader diagnosis and tested the USB connection and it passed. I am a novice and should not have been messing with this and now I want my original rom back!
Please help me. What can I do to fix this problem on my XDA?
Desperate.

I Just Had to Walk Away and Come Back
Whew! I read some more and discovered the very small step that I had missed all weekend. Everything works now except my GPRS connection. I will read some more to fix that! Thank goodness for this forum!!

I made a Radio Stack upgrade mistake. Please help me fix it.

Ok, I spent quite a bit of time figuring out the Wallaby upgrade from 4.01.16 (IIRC) to the Developer's Special 1.2. Unlock was easy. Everything done pretty much per the Wallaby_HT_Unlock2 page, and it worked pretty well once I figured out the basics.
I upgraded the radio stack, but, like a big dummy, I used the wrong stack. I used a 4.21 instead of 6.24.00 that should be used. :shock: :roll:
I figured this out after fiddling with it for a while, I noticed that the phone app wouldn't open. Then I noticed that it wouldn't create a partnership via A/S 3.7.1 (4034)
I am pretty confident that I can re-flash the stack, but I can't seem to get to it via A/S.
I have: rebooted PC, hard and soft reset Wallaby, removed HTC from Device Mgr in PC and let it reinstall.
Any help on how to reestablish ActiveSync would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,

Disregard.
Not really sure what happened. It managed to set up as Guest on ActiveSync finally.
I did notice that my trackball had come unplugged. I wonder if there was some sort of conflct there. I dunno.
Thanks anyway, and this is a VERY useful forum.

did you read the instructions and save your origianal radio??
or just try again?
Try this for fixing your bootloader....

I have the original stuff backed up, but once it mysteriously decided to connect with Active Sync again, all is well, so I don't need the backup even though I have it.
I was able to fix the radio stack by normal means.
Thanks a bunch for the help, folks.
I am Unlocked, updated, and making calls on Cingular network with a T-Mobile Wallaby.

Phone Function Dead?

Ive been having some problems off and on with my phone not getting any service. I would restart the phone and it would work for a while. But now I cannot get service anywhere and the phone seems to not work at all.
Has anyone else experienced this or are there any tricks to try and fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as the device seems to be now useless. Thanks
Yep, same with me. I've just upgraded ROM to Faria's last version and still not working the dam phone func
My provider is Vodafone-PT, and i have a Dual Simcard. Even when the other sim is off (unregistered on the vdf network) my hermes simply doesn't register. Not even the emergency number calls are avaiable!!! However, all the other funcs are working fine.
I think it is a softw issue, but i'm still not getting to the point to solve this problem...hope some masters can help us.
regards
plenty of things you can try and troubleshoot with, hard reset, check for bad blocks, flash new radio/ROM.
As XtreMe_G said. I've been running Faias for the last week or two with no radio problems. HR problems, now thats another story. Mke me wanna go back to wm06.
...my problem now is WORST...i've tried to downgrade SPL to unlock CID and SIM, but for somehow the active sync crashed during the rom upgrade. Now i only see the tricolor screen, and active sync doesn't recognize my term!!!
The tri-color screen is bootloader mode and active sync will not recognize your device at this point. Start the ROM upgrade again and go through it. Sometimes the cooked ROMs might flash otherwise always, shipped roms are capable of being flashed from bootloader itslef.

G1 with NO SERVICE (old radio)

I bought a G1 from someone off of ebay and he said it doesnt recieve signal. I figured I could buy and maybe fix it. The radio is not updated but they wiped the phone before I got it, so now im stuck at the google account sign in with no service. Does anyone have any ideas or do I just need to call up HTC and send the phone in for repairs?
thanks and God bless
try to go through the process of rooting the phone... That may fix some of the issues
but how can I root the phone if i cant get pass the Google account screen? Ive done the bootloader already...nothing happened....i flashed to crb43...that worked but it still didnt solve anything....ive tried to update the radio to the newest but it says "no signature (5 files)"...verification failed. Is there anything that I can do?

what do you mean can't get passed the account screen?
like you try to sign in and you can't?
If you still can't sign in, try using a different ROM like TheDude's and try bypassing the sign in. Maybe you can get it to the main screen and try running some debugging tools and such.

yea cause i dont have any service cause the phone doesnt get any signal....like thats how i bought it..something is wrong with the radio (i guess)...like i just want to use a different ROM that you can skip the account process on so i can ROOT then try to upgrade the radio to see if it will work....but dont you have to have ROOT in order to flash stuff?

well if you are trying to create an account from your phone with no signal, just to sign up on a computer.
the screen does give you an option to skip the sign in process.
what build are you on?
go HERE to get help on bypassing the activation.

Only for ADP1
op: Look in the dev forum helpful threads sticky for a link to activating w/o google account. Also, as a previous poster said, you might want to just do the whole rooting process. Downgrading to RC29 will revert both the radio and android build.
The official OTA CRB43 includes the new radio. If that's what you flashed and it didn't help, flashing the radio isn't going to cure your issue.
Haykuro's IonR2 also gives you the option to skip sign in.
hmmm so i guess i just need to call up htc CC and make up some bogus story saying that cupcake fried my radio....cause i cant even get signal...
i actually had 2 bars last night... so i was able to sign inn and use wifi...but it just randomly cut off....and i wiped my phone....without thinking
so i guess ill give htc a call
Lost signal now at RC29 w/old radio
But I cannot figure out how to proceed. I have been rooting modding for a year now and suddenly lost my signal while the phone was just sitting on my desk. loaded recovery still didn't work, went back to RC29 stupidly and now cannot get newer ADP build loaded because I cannot login past account screen and my Adb isn't working because my phone is not recognized via USB. Is there a secret to that pre-account login? Thanks for any help I have a $400 paperwight right now.
You should be able to enable wifi and login to google. I just went through this process since I don't have any service on the sim i'm using in the g1
--fg
what was the selllers name o ebay. i did the same exact thing and when i got it i updated everything and nothing worked.. i sent it in to htc cause it was under warranty. i told them the truth and its been repaired just waiting on fed ex to deliver it. they replaced the main board and antenna wire
similar problem
sorted: the issue was sim card being faulty.
i recently got an old UK G1 from my brother.
It keeps saying 'no service'. I have downgraded it to RC7 for purpose of rooting but it still says 'no service'.
I was able to bypass initial registration process using adb.
The phone is connecting well to wifi. It is also able to search 'available networks' but does not connect with tmobile.
I have asked for another sim card (it will take a few days to arrive) thinking that the problem is related to sim card but could i be wrong?
Is this problem related to hardware?
Is it possible that wifi, bluetooth and searching network works well and still the hardware is faulty?
what are your thoughts?

Need some help

I flashed to the 6.5 rom listed here and things were going okay. Lately Ive been having problems with the phone freezing and text messages not working as they should. I want to flash back to the 6.1 firmware however Im looking to still tether my phone so is there any way to get the Internet Sharing program on the device or something close to that wmifirouter didnt work too well for me. So any ideas on what could cause the problem in the first place or how to unlock the tethering on the 6.1 firmware.

Here's a Doozy... Maybe a Brick? Cyanogen 5.0.8 no wireless network bug

-I recently installed Cyanogen's new rom 5.0.8 Stable.
-After doing so I was unable to get any kind of network connection other than Wifi.
-I tried doing a nandroid but the file was accidently erase. I tried to flash the SPL and Radio again to see if there was a glitch. I tried reverting to 5.0.7 and still no data. I thought maybe if I went back to the begining I would be ok and could just update my way back up. I loaded the Sappimg.nbh from cyanogens wiki to my SD card and ran it through the volume+down method.
-After installing this I still have no wireless connection but I also have no 3g no recovery and I can't get passed the google log in screen. Also my SPL was revert so I can't do fast boot. Does anyone have any idea what I can do?
-I have tested my sim card in another phone and it works fine.
-Please help if you can I can't figure what to do with it and I think I am only making it worse if I haven't Completely broke it.
-Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I think this is an easy fix mate. Just go into mobile network settings and check the radio button next to your network provider. This will issue the relevant APN settings for your network.
Hope this fixes your issue.
I found out it was a bad SIM card cause by something in Cyanogen 5.0.8 ds stable. There has been a small number of people with this same issue that have been posting on the Cyanogen forums about it, I got a new sim card but a little weary to install the rom again... Then again most people who replaced thier SIM are up and good so...
Thank you for your help though man
