Could someone please explain me the NetworkRefresh.

I did read many pages and I searched for it. Found the first guy talking about it and it was pretty much calling techsupport and asking them for a network refresh?

So all I do is call techsupport, and tell the guy "I want a network refresh" and he will do it? Have they started doubting anything since so many people have been doing it lately? Or do they instantly do it without asking any question? I honestly don't want to start explaining him **** and stuff. I'd rather not even talk with any techsupport guy if possible.
[G1 Android Development] xaueious:
I recommend updating the radio image and not just getting a network refresh.

When getting a network refresh, the best way is to tell them that you just updated and haven't gotten data back. The info you need to give them is in one of the pages in this thread.
[G1 Android Development] glynsync:
I had the same problem and discovered the SD card shipped with the device is FAT16; reformat it to FAT32 and you should be good.

Thanks to ezterry for posting the instructions and the modified image-- worked fine and 3G came back a bit under 24 hours after flashing.
[G1 Android Development] Ph0Xy:
Didn't people say it's not rootable yet? I will not format my phone nor switch to a unrootable radio/spl.

Also, I read couple pages back that they don't buy the upgraded bs anymore. Has anyone done this in the past 1-2days?
[G1 Android Development] DefconZero:
Would just like to say that I figured out how to boot back in CM. I had applied the new radio, and then CM, and the new kernel, and would get stuck at the Rogers logo.

I followed this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod starting where it says Flash The Radio and Syste, Image and it worked perfectly. :D
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
No one has of yet rooted; or hacked out of the *official* update (which includes a new SPL/Radio)

The radio isn't the problem with rooting the phone again.. The problem is the official rogers rom doesn't allow root; and the official rogers SPL won't let you flash anything that isn't a "newer" official rogers rom [and I'm not sure people trying to get it to flash anything are convinced it will even flash that]

However:

post 6 [first page] of this thread explains how to flash the official rogers rom to a dream w/o flashing the SPL via a lightly modified nbh; Thus allowing you to fastboot your way back to a custom rom.

Also (as of Feb1) contains links to these posts (also in this thread):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5509214&postcount=345

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5510235&postcount=350

Which explain how to just flash the radio; which according to people with working phones; restores 3G service if you are currently using or willing to switch to an EBI1 rom (at least until data is restored) [such as the EBI1 port of CyanogenMod]

Please note all the usual warnings about bricking phones.
[G1 Android Development] Jest311:
Can someone upload the official Rogers APN information from their phone?

Edit:

Sorry, I followed the guide on the 6th post about half way through. The original Rogers firmware is now on my phone.

Do I just follow these (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod) instructions to get CM back on it?

I was getting about one very long sms in english, one in french and a call every day. Since 24 hours after updating my radio I haven't gotten a sms or call. It hasn't been that long but its looking good so far and I hope it stays that way.

I talked to rogers tech support twice (two different people), got the same answer.

We will not do a network refresh for you.

I am running latest stable CM with the updated rogers radio on EBI1, only flashed it like 2 hours ago so I havent been able to confirm that new radio = 3g, but hopefully we will see tomorrow.

If anyone here knows how to talk to rogers to get them to network refresh, please PM me and give me some pointers. Ive tried faking an iphone, and everything. It says "dream" on my account so they know ive got a dream, as one of the support people told me.
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
tell them your dream broke and you bought a used blackberry and you want a network refresh to be able to use data on it
[G1 Android Development] modi_lucky:
so anyone who did an official update (including myself) is stuck right? :(

I hate the frickin' shortage of space after like 10 apps!
[G1 Android Development] Spyrorocks:
The rogers support people I talked to were extremely firm, even when I said I was using my new iphone, that I need to preform the update or else I will never have data ad leave the sim inside the updated phone.
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
try saying the update bricked ur phone it wont do anything past the rogers logo no matter what you do, you are stuck using your old phone till you can afford to buy one of their rediculously priced phones. and would like to have the data working that you pay for monthly.
[G1 Android Development] copolii:
I told the idiots at their tech support that my phone was ****ed since the update so the moron decides to send me a new one despite me saying that I'm confident MY PHONE is fine.

I call back later to cancel the replacement and I'm told he never actually put in the order. Son of a ***** lied just to get rid of me.

(my whole story is on my site android.mahram.ca)
[G1 Android Development] shadowmike:
sim phones when connected to a carrier network sends alot of info to the carrier. rogers knows your on a dream because the phone broadcasts it to them. if you take your sim out and call from a lanline your sim status will be offline since it is out of your dream. and they should be able to do a refresh, if not just ask a friend to see their sim phone (non dream) and call back.

t-mobiles site automaticly switches phone model when you put in your sim into a new phone. (why i said they know your using it when you say your on an iphone)

also t-mobile has instructed me numerous times to take out my sim for 3 - 5 mins to do a user end network refresh when our data goes out sometimes. (could be worth a try for you guys.)
[G1 Android Development] no_cannabis:
@People who call support: Do not use any techy therminology, avoid saying network refresh and all other stuff you read here. Pretend to be a dumbars user who has no idea why Google maps or gmail won't work any longer. Or something like that...
[G1 Android Development] Spyrorocks:
Ill just throw this out there...

After doing the update to the new radio, rom, and kernel, I now have data back as of today. So it's def. the radio they're looking for. Get 'er done!
[G1 Android Development] :
Thats great, although my g1 is still on the old radio 2.22 i have my 3g, but i still get hasseled with the rogers sms, so i want to update it and to be faster also apperantly. My question to you is which kernel did you use and are you on 4.2.14.1? Im confused with the wiki cause my g1 has all the right versions except for the radio, so is 4.2.14.1 working with the new radio or do i have to use the ported kernel?

I have sple 1.33.2005 . Cm+jf 1.4 recovery and cm 4.2.14.1 any clarifications would be greatly appreciated
[G1 Android Development] beav_35:
This should explain everything:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrade_Rogers_Dream_Radio

Is this the wiki page that you found confusing? If it is please tell me why so that I can improve it. When I wrote it I tried to make it simple yet complete.

In short, you need the port for the new radio.
[G1 Android Development] :
the only confusing part is about the kernel port , should i use 4.2.14.1 when i upgrade to 3.33 or the one below it the 32BFS?
[G1 Android Development] beav_35:
You want the first one.

List of EBI1 supported roms

Do we know what roms will support the EBI1 radio?

Specifically 2.1 roms.... and SuperD..

I've been reading all over the place and most references to EBI1 are magic related.. I've got my data back after a network reset but I still get TXT and CALLS everyday. I would love to make the insanity stop, so upgrade the radio I say..

Anyways, I just dont wanna limit my options to CM only... I love flashing roms, sooooo I'll deal with txt messages and automated calls if the EBI1 3.xxxx radio will limit my rom availability!

Any input here will help.. Glad to read though large posts and threads, just would love a nudge in the right direction.

Boom.
[G1 Android Development] beav_35:
Boomgawd, try here:

http://briancrook.ca/magic/

Theres superD, wes garner and open eclair ports
[G1 Android Development] Boomgawd:
Ok... So the Magic reference again... :(

--------------

Alright, so just so we are clear... I can run EBI1 Magic ports on my EBI1 updated DREAM?

Just doesnt seem right.. :/

EDIT: Snap, I think I just got it.. In Briancrook.ca/Majic just has kernal ports.. to apply after an flash.. NOICE! okokok, I think I can manage this.. Thanks yo..

Question: Can anyone confirm if the new radio improves 3g dropouts? I get alot of lockups or what I would call brownouts.. all roms no rhyme or reason, I'll have signal and a 3g indicator but nothing moves till I switch to wifi or airplane and back....
[G1 Android Development] beav_35:
Not all EBI1 magic kernels work but most recent ones do. I know that all of Bcrook's ports do work on the Rogers EBI1 dream.

I haven't noticed or heard of any difference with 3G but you never know. Maybe there is a reason they included a different radio, not just to screw with us. :D lol
[G1 Android Development] Boomgawd:
Thanks alot!

Thanks again!
[G1 Android Development] unicrazy:
flashing the Radio did the trick

My Data is back on my Dream. Yay! Big Thank you to all the people helping out here.

I've been trying to get my data plan back online without resorting to flashing the Rogers version...and we've succeeded.

The last steps I needed to do were:

- Upgrade the Radio To 3.22.26.17 (as per recent link to cyanogen wiki)

- Put my APN settings back to:

Name Rogers
APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn:
MMSC: hxxp://mms.gprs.rogers.com
NOTE: this is http, not hxxp
MMS proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS Port 80
MCC 302
MNC 720

- Turn the APN on (by clicking on the little circle next to the APN name)

- Power Cycle (removed battery too).

Resulting Current Software:

Mod Version CyanogenMod 1.4.13 (EB1 kernel port)

Radio: 3.22.26.17

HBoot-1.33.2005 (DREA21000)

CPLD-4

Recovery Image: RA-Dream-v1.5R
[G1 Android Development] interr0bangr:
Still no progress with Cyanogenmod and Magics, right?
[G1 Android Development] Unicornasaurus:

got the same one , i like how they are ordering you to do it....bunch of morons
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
I still refuse to the update, no matter how much they call me lol
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
im the same, 1-2 calls a day, 1-2 txts a day, i will not downgrade my phone to a glitchy slow crappy rom, i only have 1 month left of dealing with it since www.telusmobility.ca is now showing the milestone coming, and i am #1 on the list to call when the come in the store.

then my dream will become a test subject to everything on this site haha
[G1 Android Development] asiano:
just Upgrade the Radio To 3.22.26.17

don't mind my Sig. that's old need to edit that.
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
not possible with special SPL and 2.1

not an option.

and they look at radio + build
[G1 Android Development] 0mega1:
Nope. Radio only it seems.

Just went from WG Build Y + Original rooted SPL+Radio ---> WG Build Y 2.6 + New radio/dangerSPL and a couple hours later, I have data back.

Glad I held out.
[G1 Android Development] bcrook:
Any 32A/EBI1 port done PROPERLY will work on an 3.x ROM. Rogers Magics and Dreams had the same radio. The first get 32A hack was one for 32A Magics because it forced the memory address - the newer, better EBI1 port can do both.

Any port I have up on my site, briancrook.ca/magic/, is good for all 3.x radios.

Magic users - flash to CursorSense and the 6.x radio/1.76 SPL, you should get data back within 24hrs, then revert to the 3.x radio/1.33 SPL and get CM (or w/e) back.

Also, any magic users, the new dream radio, 3.22.26.17 APPARENTLY works on the Magic too - it just won't get you data back - it may make reception better.
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
i will NOT cave to rogers demands period.

2.1 runs perfect on my dream, i wont downgrade to any legit fixing rom

1 month of this **** to deal with and im done with rogers. period

my dream will keep 2.1+ always

and 2.1 doesnt work with rogers ****ty radio version. and i wont go through all the trouble to stop some txts/calls.

telus has the milestone anounced officially on their site as of today.
[G1 Android Development] aredj:
Sigh... I've never had to post before. I've been rooted for awhile and flipping roms for some time as well.

Anyway - I'm stuck with the radio update... 'fastboot devices' comes up with nothing... I have the usb drivers installed. Device manager reports no issues.

Any thoughts into what I could be missing? Im at a loss.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
As in no mater what you do you are stuck at the Rogers logo?

Ie, no recovery, no boot, no SPL [HBOOT/FASTBOOT] screen on the phone?

If thats the case you bricked yourself somehow.. you can provide the steps you did to get where you are and we can attempt to see what went wrong.

but you may be stuck where I am.. in which case you can get a little more info from "blue light mode" power on while holding action with a htc serial wire plugged in:

[G1 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
so, I updated my radio, data and the annoying upgrade sms's are gone, downgraded back to the 2.22.x radio, and it's been several hours with no issues, I'm thinking that once youve been registered as having the update they will leave you alone, will post back if I run into issues
[G1 Android Development] aredj:
No actually - what I mean is, when preping to flash the new radio via fastboot (phone in flashboot mode w/ usb connected and at a command prompt) the flashboot program fails to detect my G1. Drivers installed. Device manager confirms this. When I enter command 'fastboot devices' - it comes up nothing. When I 'fastboot flash blahblah' i get 'waiting for devices'.

As if! I even tried on a different computer. Meh.

Im following the above posted wiki using the links provided for the downloads.

Again - Im quite sure im not missing anything and am at a loss as to why my phone is not responding to the fastboot commands. Meh.
[G1 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
is your phone in fastboot mode? or does it say press send to enter fastboot on the screen?
[G1 Android Development] aredj:
ahh ferk... I think I got it... I see the device now after pulling the adpwinapi file from the sdk kit folders. The one supplied in the wiki steps was not working for me...

Has anyone who did the network refresh trick much earlier had their phone service redirected?

I did the network refresh trick last Monday. And as of 1230 PST I still have 3G data and incoming/outgoing phone calls. Not sure what radio version I'm running as I haven't looked - But it definitely isn't a recent one.

Teknoname
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
i did network refresh jan 24th the day of the blackout, i still have 3g everything working fine, im on the radio that ends in 26I. only problem is the nagging phone calls and txts once a day.
[G1 Android Development] xaueious:
I upgraded to 3.22.26.17 and get no more calls from Rogers.

Does anyone have a 32B Magic who upgraded to 3.22.26.17? Do they get data back this way?

Rogers has no love for the EBI0 radio? I am really tempted to switch over because of the ROM compatibility, but I don't want to lose data.
[G1 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
upgrade just your radio and the nag will stop, will have to use ebi1 port for cm rom or something, run it for just a day, till the nagging stops, then flash back to your preffered radio

[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
i will NOT go back down to a 1.6 rom, therefor i will stick with the nagging calls to keep 26I radio and Special SPL with 2.1 eclair

im only with rogers till mid/end of the month when the milestone comes out for telus anyways. im not gunna let rogers bring me down to their unsecure rom when im just leaving them anyways

telus WILL allow this dream on their service if i need an extra phone just has to be unlocked*know someone that will* so meh! **** YOU ROGERS!!!

side note: adding the 1877 number from rogers to your phone book and clicking send directly to voicemail DOESNT WORK it will come through the block.
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
I blacklisted the number and it goes straight to voicemail for me. although I rather it diidn't go to voicemail at all either.
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
hrmm.. it says it may take a couple days to get it to work so we will see.

id rather voicemail then i wouldnt be woken up every damn morning

*dont like turning my calling off incase of emergency*
[G1 Android Development] 0mega1:
I love 1.6 but I can totally empathize, so I'm getting a milestone for nada and getting it unlocked and floating on rogers :) (Don't ask me how, for I shan't be able to tell you. But it's related to me purchasing this dream outright ;) )

It's been fun, but honestly, a week without data pissed me off greatly.

[G1 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
yes, just installing the radio, and running it along with an ebi1 rom for a day is sufficient to stop the beast(rogers) I've since downgraded again, and am living life as normal with my ebi0 roms :)
[G1 Android Development] DigitalN.:
I am having a new issue with rogers that is a bit more annoying than text messages and phone calls. They are now transferring all my outgoing calls to their tech support! This is pure BS!
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
i can still make calls sofar.. if they cut that off i will freak right out on them cause that is NOT right
[G1 Android Development] DigitalN.:
I agree, I am not paying them 100 dollars a month just so I can't make phone calls or use my data. I am calling them now and telling them I have an iPhone, lets see where that gets me.
[G1 Android Development] missy_nurselove:
Stress.. stress..

I have all my bills paid, it's the first thing I checked. And I called twice and talked to two reps, and both confirmed it is a new thing that was enforced to make sure the 911update was done.

The first guy "Cody" was not helpful and put me on hold halfway while I was explaining my issue. Then I was on hold for over 20minutes and he never came back. The second guy "Oliver" was much better.. explained that I already <i> updated last night</i> and don't know why this is happening.. then he told me he will refresh the network on his end and told me to power off and remove battery for a minute or two. And my voice service is back.
[G1 Android Development] DigitalN.:
I just got off the phone and told them I have had an iPhone for almost a month now, had bought it off ebay so it wasn't a rogers phone, she said that she would somehow reset my phone from her side, it didn't do anything (since I don't really have an iPhone) however my voice is back, I still have my data (I did the data refresh trick a while ago) I will see tomorrow if I still get the messages and phone calls.

BTW, I am running the EBI1 and the latest cyanogen with the latest radio, so this may have something to do with it. I am going to flash back to dwang later since cyanogen is much slower.
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
If Rogers does this to me, there will be hell on Earth. So far they haven't though. Although, the text messages and calls have stopped since the last "new" text they sent out.

Just want to confirm success on the radio update... I guess I did it just in time... My calls were not blocked and 3g just came back. :p
[G1 Android Development] goatmonkey:
They just redirected both my lines - and one is a Rogers demo line. The first phone I found out about was the demo line. I apologized to the CSR afterwards for tearing a strip off of her. She didn't even know why I had called in the beginning.
