any help thanks

Hi, and welcome aboard!
A tip for posting first off: punctuation, and capital letters are your friends!
Second, is there even such a radio as 1.06? The factory default is 1.15, and I haven't seen a lower version...
If nothing else works, download mtty, link up your phone as if you were upgrading it, and then look up the command list for Universal. Make a backup of all your personal and needed stuff, go into bootloader, pray, and enter the command for formatting the DOC(Disk-On-Chip). This should theoretically reset the device into a state it was in when it rolled off the production line at HTC, so you can now install any ROM you want.
CAUTION: This can misfire, and if it does, it does so big time, meaning unless you know what you're doing, you can end up with a very expensive paperweight. USE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!
I haven't had to use this before, though once I got pretty close to it...
Good luck m8!

unable to initialize camera Problem

Hi all,
yeaterday I installed Nadavi HTC Camera cab file. the installation did not finished, it failed (however I see that the free space on the device is smaller now).
since then, the camera shows me "unable to initialize camera. failed to set up the camera device".
I tried:
to run it from windows/camera.exe
to put out the battary for 15 minutes
read all the related posts
installed the Nadavi_OLD_HTC_Camera_5_0_4_2915_00 - did not helped
is there any solution for this?
thanks,
Royi.

If all else fails you'll have to try a hard reset. Remember to back up all your contacts and messages first.

thanks for the respond.
is this the only solution for this issue?

I just done a hard reset, and it did not helped.
someone got another ideas?
i'm really sad about that one...

I would consider reflashing the phone with the same (or maybe a different/cooked) ROM; I'm positive that your problem is related exclusively to software.
Good luck!

i'm a newbe at this...
you got any guide or something like that for this procedure?
plus, what version do you recommend?

Just to rule out a bad ROM I'd flash the original 6.0 ROM first to verify that the camera indeed works. If not, then you must remove hardspl and send your phone to service. If it starts working again you can try the cooked 6.1 ROM again.

the problem is that i'm already using the original ROM.
I never installed a new rom.
my rom ver is:
1.25.405.1 WWE
radio:
1.58.21.23
Protocol ver:
25.65.30.04H
so, is it really needed to install the oroginal rom again?

If it's not modified, then it may worth taking your chance with the service.

you mean to send it to HTC?

someone? help!

I don't know the camera fix you applied, so I don't know that it was trying to do. But since you have not upgraded the ROM or changed the SPL to HardSPL I would send it in for repair if you are still under warranty.
If not, I'd try reflashing the original ROM if you can get it. That way you will reflash everything in case the camera fix overwrote something, but that I find quite unlikely, but it's your last best hope if you are out of warranty, unless you want to pay for a repair that is.

this is the cab I installed

thanks for helping me...

I flashed to udk7 diamond rom...it did not helped as well.
How can I check if this is a software issue or Hardware?

sorry for the nudging...but someone got any ideaz?

If you have tried both original and cooked ROMS, what do you think? I'd say it's obviously a hardware issue. Reflash original ROM and remove HardSPL and return the device to service.

I tried only to flash to udk7 ROM. is it worth a try to flash to the original one?

Yes, I'd certainly try the original too since it contains OS, radio and the whole lot.

Is your camera work one time or never ?
If never work just send the Phone to HTC or go to your operator ( SAB: Service After Buying ??? like SAV in france ?).
Have you try to flash with a new RADIO rom like 1.64.**.**
Where do you bought your phone ?

Same problem for me.
Send the phone to HTC. It's a hardware problem.
Don't try any flash o fixing. If the camera don't work after a hard reset, you have a motherboard problem.
Send it to HTC and they will change the board. I have now a new IMEI number.

OH GOD!! is my Uni dead? NO GSM

Dear All,
Please kindly help me out of this.
Yesterday, My phone started to develop the "NO GSM: symptoms. At first, the phone ioccasionally turned off after it couldn't connect to the 3G network. Today, after reading nearly all the post concerning this "No GSM" symptoms, I applied the Mtty tools to desparately try to bring my beloved Uni back to life.
I applied that mtty.. I tried to upgrade it by using the shipped rom.. yet it said country ID error.. I reverted to use the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe but the radio rom upgrade failed....
Are there any other solutions I can rescue my uni? I read it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350349 that Radio Rom upgrade may be done through a SD card but the ftp link is dead and I can't get any files from there.
I miss my Uni so so much that I think I would buy another one if there's no way to save it... Please kindly help. all my gratitude.

Hi,
Please consider a new battery.
As strange as it may sound, one of my MDA Pro's had similar symptoms with battery at 70%. Replacing the battery with a new one fixed it right away.
The symptoms were:
- less network signal
- random turning off of radio
- could not access phone settings
- radio crash when trying GPRS connection
Also, on my other MDA Pro, I had problems like this, but they were caused by radio ROM 1.18. I changed to 1.15 and everything is fine since.
It seems that aging batteries are a major problem for weird issues. Just buy a new one at ebay and dont start flashing as a fool, cause you can risk a brick.
Cheers,
vma

My battery is actually new... just bought it 2 weeks ago.. and I tried the phone with both my new and old batt. still no luck -_-
I can't flash any radio rom now... is my Uni certified dead?
Any help would be great.. thanks

Try charging the battery first in another universal if possible, if battery is ok, put it in and try again, read Wiki and check if you can go to boot loader mode, check whether pc recognising the Uni once on etc.,

Read everything and the computer recognised my Uni ... tried MTTY tools to reset all the DOC partition in my Uni yet no way to reflash my radio rom again

I think as long as PC is recognising, dont consider it as DEAD. Its very much alive and keep hopes.
as I read through this forum, Radio ROM flashing is the most risky thing and often takes longer.
If you are not already considering, try only flashing radio rom and do not club with extrom etc, try redownloading the ROM or try a different version from a different link, unless you are particular about the one you are trying.
Always use the original USB cable supplied with the Uni.
Enter BootLoader mode by pressing and holding the power button and backlight button whilst performing a reset with the stylus. Connect Unit to PC to the USB port directly and not through a USB HUB.
Start flash again..
All the best

From the problem behavior it seems your device got GSM locked, I'm afraid it's permanent. But at least try ...
1. Remove the SIM card
2. Must upgrade the bootloaded to 1.01 if it's a G3 (and not upgraded already).
3. Run the Buzz's CID unlocker tool and flash the radio (version 0.00) provided with the tool.
4. Do the HR and check the status

Emergency!!! please help

i tried to flash my universals rom to WM5, but the device just turned off and the old 6.1 version was deleted
i entered into bootloader mode, it updates the radio, but turns of again when it comes to ROM update, i don't know what to do.i can't even charge my battery so i don't have much time.
please HELP!!!!!!!1

Try with another rom, or take off the battery for a while and try again

i tried another rom, but now i got the next problem
it flahes until 7%or 8% or10% (depends on ROM size)
and then i get another error
i am going crazy

Format the DOC chip with MTTY terminal, read more:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader

could you explain it easy, because i dont really understand this how to format the chip

OK i've done this, but this is "STOCK IN BOOTSCREEN", but my problem is that
i don't even have a bootscreen.Any idea?
let me explain
i have a vodafone v1640 and i tried to flash it with the Tmobile geman ROM
so everything is now deleted
i am really clueless, please help me

So are you saying there is nothing on the screen at all? No signs of life at all? I seem to remmeber having a similar problem a while back which i managed to sort, so maybe i can help, however in order to help you need to explain exactly whats going on.

THAnKS FOR THE HELP EVERyBODY

seriously urgent help needed with gsm htc touch pro!!!!!

hi everyone,
iv got a htc touch pro,to be precise it is my first ever smartphone and i have tried to flash and add a new rom to my handset.i read all forums and threads on various sites about how to perform a successful flash and rom.installation of the rom were successful,but my phone does not load up to main screen at all!does that mean my touch pro is bricked????however,i can go to the bootloader and try a hard reset,but that doesnt work either.i have found out that my handset was already unlocked using Olinex.
Please can anyone help me out???im really really stressed out.
many thanks.

Ok, best thing to try is to download the official factory rom.
Start the phone and get it to the boot-loader screen.
Plug it in to your PC and wait for the word USB to show up at the bottom of the phone's screen.
Next run the factory rom installation on the PC and go through the steps. It should hopefully flash fine back to the original OS.

thanks alot,that really helped!!!!you havent a clue how stressed out i was when that happened.anyways,i could do with some more help.since i bought this phone,my net has NOT been working.it was officially branded on vodafone but it was unlocked by previous owner.i have ordered official settings from Htc and o2 themselves and still no result.anyone have any solution(s) for this problem?????
like alot of people have said to me,without net on these smartphones,the TP is nothing!so if anyone has a solution,please DO tell me about it
Many thanks.

I would disagree that without internet smartphones are nothing.... but that's not the point. Do you know which ROM you're using?
Are you using a stock rom? if so, from which company.
Alot of people here have their signature to show what rom/radio/phone (type) they have. it makes it easier for those who want to help to provide answers or suggestions faster and you wont have to get nagged asking the same question everytime

Firstly - slow down!
Not quite sure if you have a problem now or not, and if you do, if its the same as you started with.
From what you have written:
You have read some stuff
You have flashed some stuff
it hasnt worked as you expected
you asked for help on here
you may have flashed some more stuff
you may or may not have a problem still.
No offence, but its pretty tricky to offer much in the way of useful assistance when we dont know what state the phone is in.
Dont panic - enter the bootloader. Note what it says (SPL)
Reset, note the rom & radio versions.
See what works & what doesnt.
Read the forum rules - especially about starting new posts and how to name them (seriously urgent help needed isnt very descriptive). Use the search function to see if your problem has been answered (lots of connectivity issues will have been). If you still are having problems, reply to this post, or make a new one if more appropriate, saying clearly what you have (including rom & radio as appropriate) and what you are stuck with.
Oh, welcome to the forums.
