Why are some of you people so stubborn? Either update to the Rogers build or update the radio to 3.22.26.17 (here are your instructions on how to update the radio - h ttp://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrade_Rogers_Dream_Radio). These will fix all the txt messages and blocked service. Please stop all your whining and just follow through. I did this 2 weeks ago and been fine since with my data on OpenEclair 1.1.1 EBI1 port

Radio flashing is a bit more difficult for the 32A Magic, and the status is a mystery for the 32B Magic.

Everyone who has Dreams just upgrade your radios.
[G1 Android Development] missy_nurselove:
I think you have gotten this all wrong. It is not about whining, but it's about the principle. We can keep on running around the sidelines and trying to find ways to bypass Rogers, but the bottom line is that Rogers is NOT allowed to pull any of these stunts.
[G1 Android Development] canada2005:
Okay then... they own the service, they can do whatever they want with it. Meaning if they have a problem, they will do what they can to get that problem fixed.

Dream "About Phone" details

Can anyone who has performed the new Robbers update on their Dream post the information on the About Phone screen (in the settings menu), specifically the (1) Build Number, (2) The Kernel Version, (3) the Firmware version, (4) the baseband version. Or just post a screen capture that screen? Thanks.

Silvrhat
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
yeah they can do whatever they want with their service, they however cant do anything to our phones. only way i can see them having any hold over us to do so is if your on a 1-2-3 year and got the phone cheaper due to this.

us who BOUGHT THESE PHONES outright should not have to do whatever they want cause its not rogers phone anymore.

my case is i bought the phone outright in july. new contract with a blackberry in november but i use MY dream. they should NOT be allowed to have any say with what i do with MY phone.
[G1 Android Development] ysdoho:
Wow... what a failure

Rogers has currently disabled my voice call... everytime when i call i get connected to Rogers and they cant unblock me or do anything before i do the update.... WTF.... i pay 100 dollars per month on a share plan and now they disable my phone calls to...

Hi all I'm trying to flash EBI1 kernel the file i found is a .img file but the guide i'm using requires a zip file whats the deal http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrade_Rogers_Dream_Radio
[G1 Android Development] Unicornasaurus:
I ran into that problem today too..I told the lady I don't have time to do it right now, and she said "Ok I'll reset your network settings, and then just do the update later today". This is the first actual interruption that I've gotten since the 24th of Jan. I got my phone/data back for now, but we'll see how long that lasts.
[G1 Android Development] HyeProfile:
Guys, you do know that YOU HAVE SIGNED A CONTRACT AND ARE PAYING FOR THIS SERVICE, right? It's your legal right to hold Rogers to their own contract, and if they refuse your contract should be considered null and void, and cancelled...

Call back again and tell them that you have updated firmware and that your phone isn’t affected by the 911 issue. If you have a custom ROM, you won't be lying... And then force them to give you back both voice and data right away. And tell them if they voluntarily cut any aspect of your service again, it will cause extensive damages to you, and you will have to resort to legal action against them...

Joint complaint to CCTS

Hey all.

I've just emailed CCTS (sorry, no time to phone them from work today), inquiring about filing a joint complaint against Rogers Wireless. If the CCTS is willing to accept a joint complaint, I would like to have it written in collaboration with other affected users, specifically those with a greater technical knowledge than mine.

I'll let you know how they respond.
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
ill be in if you can get this going forsure
[G1 Android Development] Unicornasaurus:
I told the lady on the phone that I wasn't affected. Her response: "You'll have to talk to technical support for that". I was absolutely against upgrading, and I could ignore all the calls and stuff like that. But when they cut off my service, that's when I decided that I've had enough. I just successfully upgraded to the new radio, so I'm hoping they'll stop the calls/cutoff BS. If they say that's not enough, then they can go screw themselves.
[G1 Android Development] teknoname:
Never forget that the radio spectrum that Rogers licences from Industry Canada belongs to all of us. It is a common good and the use of the Spectrum is licensed such that Canadian citizens can enjoy services. It is not there so Rogers can make a profit.

It's ours and if Rogers want's to use it they need to behave.

Teknoname
[G1 Android Development] Merritt:
I don't make calls very often. After checking up on this thread, I tried making a call - redirected to Rogers. I can't f**king believe it. I thought that since they restored my data after filing a complaint with the CCTS that this **** was done with. I am updating my complaint and I would be happy to join in on a joint complaint as well. This is unacceptable.
[G1 Android Development] alan090:
Have you read page 2 of your bill lately?

If not your should
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
most of us probably get online billing, therefor we dont see paper bills

wanna enlighten us of whats on page 2?

im guessing nothing that says "we can cut off any of your contract at anytime for any reason"

cutting off voice is just as bad as a faulty e911
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
i have my brothers unrooted htc magic im doing the update on, im thinking of doing the update slapping my card in there and saying ive done the update now update my settings on my account then slapping it back in the dream
[G1 Android Development] dash4g:
be careful with all that slapping around :p

Why dont you just do the Radio upgrade? I just did mine, and it was easy as pie...
[G1 Android Development] copolii:
I've already complained to the CCTS (rogers has about 10 days left to reply to my complaint in writing), but I would totally be in for a joint complaint.

I've listed my problems with the rom on my page android.mahram.ca and you're more than welcome to use the text, chat logs, the pictures, anything on it (might wanna run it trough a profanity filter first tho).
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
cause it doesnt work with special SPL else i would to end all this
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
That's a really detailed experience. Going by some of the points, I'd probably use that as my excuse about the new ROM then. I only updated the Radio, waiting 24 hours to see if they still try and call me. Haven't had any of my call diverted yet either. However, those 2 days without data, when they first cut it off, was completely KILLER for me. I want at least like 2 months compensated + a new phone at least to feel the least bit satisfied. Rogers seriously screwed up royally this time. It's only a matter of time before this issue really really blows up in their faces! Let's do it copolii... Sue them good!
[G1 Android Development] SpEnTBoY:
Again it's not whining, this is something they shouldn't be doing or at least have a REAL method for testing if you're vulnerable instead of just saying or trying to force you to update. This bullsh!t of them running some slapped together crap code which doesn't even check to see if the code is affected by a bug they had in their build should NOT affect consumers. I dont think anyone would have any reason to 'whine' if they actually did some work and ran a real test rather than forcing you to use THEIR fix.

Either way I flashed my radio it wasn't a big deal .. the thing that sucks was I was using the 10MB memory kernel hacked for Cyanogenmod and now I have to use a regular kernel. I've noticed a speed difference already ... might be time to go ROM shopping again even though it looks like they are limited to whoever has hacked together a kernel to boot with this radio.
[G1 Android Development] stevo32:
I did a network refresh about a week after my data got cut off. I also filed a complaint with the CCTS. When I made a phone call this morning, I got redirected to Rogers tech support, which I was not amused about because I was half awake.

The conversation went like this:

Rogers: Hi, this is Rogers tech support, how may I help you?

Me: Whaaaa? I didn't call Rogers!

Rogers: Are you using an HTC Dream or Magic?

Me: Yes....

Rogers: Did you apply the update?

Me: Yeah, like a week and a half ago. I've had data back too.

Rogers: Sorry for the inconvenience, it must be a technical issue. After I hang up, please turn off your phone, pull the battery and start back up and voice will work again.

Me: *grin*

Rogers: Thank you and have a nice day.

I think I'm gonna flash the radio update.
[G1 Android Development] interr0bangr:
I'm also in for any complaint/class action thing. This is so ****ing insane...
[G1 Android Development] interr0bangr:
Update: They just did a Network Refresh for me and I have outbound calls/data back.

I just called them and said I had tried doing to update, but I have a Mac and couldn't get it to work (I have a PC and a rooted Magic 32A with CM 1.4.13). They told me to remove the battery and they would refresh the phone to remove the lock on the services, but I should use a friend's PC to update ASAP because if I don't it will get cut off again when they poll the network.

I should be in the clear, right?
[G1 Android Development] kevwo:
seems doubtful

ytd, i had all my calls directed. i had the rep do a "resend to switch". i couldnt even call out on my old HTC Tytn II...after the resend, the calls worked, but then this morning my data cut out. i think they put the data blk SOC back on my account. so i called in, told them i am using the tytn2, and not the dream (or my free magic) anymore due to to many issues...and now they have escalated to tier2 tech suppt, but i still have no data
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
You lost data this morning too? I lost it for a while and I thought maybe it was my phone being weird. Try doing this, Settings > Wireless > Mobile > 2G Only

I did this, turn on 2G Only then turned it off, and my Data came back. But not sure if it was the network or the phone. I updated to EBI1 radio yesterday not sure if that affected it too.
[G1 Android Development] kevwo:
sorry i shoulda been more clear, i originally lost data like a week and a half ago, got it back, used the Dream, then yesterday i had my calls redirected, and my data went out again this morning, while i was using my my friggin tytn2.

i updated my Radio last nite via cyanogen method, we'll see if that helps when data comes back on

10mb Ram Hacks

I hear ya on the 10MB ram hacks... it sucks man! I loved that speed performance with EBI0.

I'm wondering though, like maybe a month or so from now, whether I can downgrade back to EBI0 and Robbers won't be scanning for the new versions anymore?

Silvrhat
[G1 Android Development] SpEnTBoY:
Yeah they just cut me off AND I've flashed the new radio so it has nothing to do with loss of service. I can receive calls and texts ... trying to get service back ... ****n monkeys
[G1 Android Development] gmupps:
I got fed up with the texts and phone calls, (plus I was wooed by certain people claiming faster data speeds), so I switched to the new rogers radio. Just now I tried to make a call, and it went to the call centre. He did a network refresh, and I had voice service back. It was only a minor inconvenience, but that's beside the point. I shouldn't have to deal with this at all. If it happens again, I'll be right pissed. I intend to file a complaint (or join in the collective complaint), and perhaps even terminate my service early so I can go to Telus.
[G1 Android Development] silvrhat7:
Hold on... so did you get your data back since you flashed the new radio and then they disconnected it again? Or, did you never get the data back since you flashed the new radio?

I flashed the new radio last night, and I haven't gotten my data back yet. But, it hasn't been 24 hours yet.. but I "should" know tonight by 11pm. If that doesn't work, I'm gonna give Robbers a call and basically give them the following details from this screen capture and see if they reconnect my data: http://tinyurl.com/yc6xh6k

Silvrhat
[G1 Android Development] silvrhat7:
So, do you have your data connection back?

Silvrhat
[G1 Android Development] gmupps:
I had my data back within 24 hours of it being cut off back on the 24th of January. I flashed the new radio because I was fed up with their harasment, and also because I was lured in by the thought of better performance on 2g. I haven't lost data since getting it back on the 24th, it was just today that they started redirecting my calls.
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
i got my data back on the 24th, havent lost it since, havent had my calls redirected *YET**knocks on wood* AND im still running 26I radio, special SPL and 2.1 eclair.

ALSO this is day #2 without any phone call from rogers or txt msgs.
[G1 Android Development] gmupps:
I spoke too soon. Now my data is cut. If anyone needs to borrow some rage, I have plenty over here.

Edit: My current ROM is OpenEclair 2.1 (V 1.1.5). I had been using superD since updating the radio, but I didn't have my data cut or calls redirected until I switched to OE. Not sure if that's just a coincidence...
[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
While I'm not a lawyer, doesn't this qualify as a breach of contract? If there's nothing in the contract about rooting your phone or loading custom ROMs on the device, and they cut off your service because of such (assuming that's the case), I would demand to get out of the contract.

I'm not saying "SUE!!!", but I am saying to put a little pressure and dump them on their faces. This isn't right. I purchased the phone and I want to use custom ROMs. Period. I mean... isn't this the POINT of having a open source phone? Really.

Hello all im having problems updating my radio im using dream 32b followed the steps in the cyogen section on updating radio the last step is to install the kernel the guide gives instructions for a .zip file yet the one i can find is a .img file HeLP!!

On a side note i called robbers and said i did upgrade back on 26th got data back and then yesterday calls started getting redirected the lady just said no problem ill reactivate your services i then asked about some sort of compinsation she said no problem and added 100 free minutes to my account

so apparently my wooden table isnt really wooden.. cause knocking on it made no effect

outgoing calls got redirected this afternoon, called in said i did update and they fixed it right away.
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
Wow just when I thought I was good with the radio update. My calls are finally getting redirected too. F**king rogers!!! I want to KILL SOMEONE NOW! Now they better give me a ****ing free phone I've been dealing with this crap way too long... Anyone find a lawyer to sue them yet? Small claims maybe then.. Hmm.
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
ouch.. looks like all those that upgraded radio and left the roms they loved, did it for no reason...

glad im stickin it out and bein stubborn!

Anyone manage to "update" to the official rom w/o SPL update (post 6 on this thread by myself); and used the official rom in the last 24h have a problem.. and does the problem return if you then switch to an EBI1 rom with the new radio image?

I'd check myself by my new Dream is in the mail; and the old one still a brick, working on that.

(sorry to side track all the rants but this is the development thread)
[G1 Android Development] xaueious:
Are you sure you did the radio update? Hardware and radio version?

I booted it and ran some apps for a little while. I didn't log into to Google but everything actually seems to be fine. But it is still a barebones 1.5, and in my opinion no good to use as a base ROM but that's just my opinion.

HTC Dream 32B PVT

3.22.XX Radio

SPL 1.33.2005

It's the EBI1 radio that's straight off from CM Wiki. Updating from EBI0 to EBI1. I thought it would work but I guess not. To make matters worst, after I got transfered. He was like, "We'll send you a SD card. And reactivate you voice." I was like sure... Little did I know, re-activating my voice would disable my data again. This is just infuriating. When it comes in the mail, I'm gonna be like, "Dude, it bricked my phone, thanks." After that they better compensate me with something nice because now I have to deal with a week without data. I didn't pay for 6GB so I couldn't use it.
[G1 Android Development] xaueious:
Dude that's might not be the updated radio. There are currently two EBI radio versions on the Wiki. I don't think anyone has fixed the original Full Rogers to CM guide yet to have the updated radio.

The updated radio is 3.22.26.17. The "xx" you omitted matters.

This is the correct link here:

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

This fix has restored data for almost everyone. I can't boot my phone up to try this now. But can you please provide your radio version so we can verify that Rogers is blocking Dreams with the 3.22.26.17 radio as well?

If you don't have the newer radio, follow the wiki and you'll be fine.

Ya. Check with bcrook. He's on Cyanogenmod IRC sometimes. He extracted the radio and boot images so far and I'm sure he has the other files somewhere.
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
That's the exact one I used.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
I agree; but that is what those that do the official update see...

(before bricking I did look around/sign into google .. even entered it as root from recovery to see if any interesting files existed) Then made a nandroid backup and returned to my rom.. and bricked the phone writing the howto.

CPLD-4

RADIO-3.22.26.17

ROM: CM 4.2.14.1

Its been over 24hrs since my update mind you. I had lost reception so I switched to "Use 2G only" and saw the Edge icon. Turned that off and the 3G icon popped up.

Just restarted my phone and still have data. Let's see how long this lasts, cos some people are reporting they are losing data despite having this radio.
[G1 Android Development] goatmonkey:
Got redirected on the phone my wife uses. Told them I have a three-year-old, this is my only phone, and if I have to make an emergency call and get redirected to CS, I will hang up, walk down to the nearest pay phone and call my lawyer.

Five minutes later I had voice AND 3G back.
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
This deal is back on for anyone still interested after this entire fiasco. I'm personally gonna call in and ask for my phone and more credits to my account if they plan on keeping me as a customer, otherwise I'm moving all 3 lines to Telus or WIND.

Data returned: Status update on New Radio

So, I updated my Dream's radio to the latest 3.22.26.17 radio. And finally, after 24 hours of waiting and doing a power cycle (taking the battery out for 2 minutes), my data is back up.

Thank bloody jesus. What a goddamn fiasco this has all been.

If we do the upgrade to the Magic, do we still get to keep our Dreams?

Silvrhat
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
So maybe just a reminder to people with the new radio to power cycle their phone after the latest scan.. I wonder if people with the official rom are having these issues;
[G1 Android Development] beav_35:
Ignore the 32a/b. They shouldn't even write that on there any more. The thing that matters is that your EBI version matches. If you have a 3.xx radio you need the EBI1 kernel.

Me and bcrook figured it out so we could flash the radio from it. He posted the extracted images on his site.

I did update the original guide. :D
[G1 Android Development] SirBastille:
Updated my phone following the wiki instructions Sunday night, and sadly my phone's been without data still. Even tried phoning Rogers a few times and getting them to turn it back on but no luck. As it stands, they told me the only way they'll reactivate my phone (Telling them I was running a developer's build which had the issue fixed didn't work) is if my build number matches 1.89.631.1 146733 CL#94714 release-keys, though I might have gotten something messed up in that when copying it down. How do I go about spoofing the build number to trick their system?
[G1 Android Development] gmupps:
As far as I know, yes. He didn't say I was required to send it in. If they ask for it, I'll just refuce the Magic. I like my physical keyboard too much. I"m either going to sell the Magic, or use it as a test platform.
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
i updated officially my brothers magic last night with the rogers rom for it. hes been without data since the 24th and called in today and got a network refresh without even having to give them any kinda build numbers or anything and they credited his account for the 1 month free data
[G1 Android Development] beav_35:
SirBastille, bcrook's patch will spoof your build number but it doesn't look like that is what they are checking. Make sure that your radio version is 3.22.26.17. If you need to quote a number over the phone there is a screen shot in the update instructions on Rogers website.

Dream PVT 32B ENG S-Off

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA21000)

CPLD-4

RADIO-3.22.26.17

When I last phoned, it was what they told me they were checking. He asked me to read out my build number, and then when he had no idea what it meant, he asked for my IMEI and then a long period of waiting for him to hear back from a level 2 tech, an attempt to reset my network settings with the battery out which did nothing, and then saying that the only way the network will recognize my phone is if it has the build number.

How do I go about applying this patch?
[G1 Android Development] beav_35:
Apply it the same way you update a rom. Reboot into recovery and flash it from there.
[G1 Android Development] SirBastille:
Hmm. It didn't change the build number to what the rogers tech had told me what they were specifically looking for. Now it reads DRC83 1.89.631.1 and my phone is listed as a t-mobile G1.
[G1 Android Development] dash4g:
yes, yes we will.
