Latest Radio Image

It sounds like the new radio image is required. Is someone out there willing to build an update zip file that would contain the new radio image? Of course, one would be needed for both the Rogers HTC Dream and Rogers HTC Magic. And of course, this would need to be tested against the CyanogenMod ROM w/EB1 kernel....

Any takers?

Latest Radio Image - Part 2

For the user that currently has the latest radio installed with CyanogenMod 4.2.13 w/EB1 kernel... Can you perform a nandroid backup of a clean installation and provide that to us? This would make for an easy update... Also, can you please advise which phone you have? HTC Dream / HTC Magic?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ezterry:
You can flash back to EB0... but as you indicate its risky.. I think when my phone works again I will stay with ebi1.. (see no reason not to)

That said you are missing some steps to install rad-4.2.13-ebi1-withcontacts.zip ..

(please clean up these if anything is missing/wrong.. I'm obviously not testing it as my phone is bricked due to a failed EB1->EB0)

*!!!* if you are staying with ebi1 at no time in this process will you need to flash a radio or SPL

*!!!* I have not tested this; please use only as an outline of aprox. what is required

*!!!* You understand you continue at your own risk.. but if you don't touch the radio/SPL you ought to be fine

Pre-req

Find these files as described in the rogers install wiki page:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...ogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod#Prerequisites

Also note the following is loosely based on that wiki page

rad-4.2.13-ebi1-withcontacts.zip [place on root of SD card]

update-cm-4.2.13-signed.zip [place on root of SD card]

htc_system_img_14721.zip

You will also need: recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2R.img

Restore data partition from EB0 CM install

1) if you ran nandroid before flashing the rogers rom; go into recovery and run nandroid restore

2) reboot the phone holding down the camera key we need to enter the SPL (after the nandroid install you will not be able to boot as boot/recovery will be EB0 not EB1; but the SPL will be intact)

3) use fastboot to re-flash the rogers compatible recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2R.img) back onto the phone

Now your data partition has been restored; and a valid recovery is installed

**If you do not wish to restore your data partition and or wish to do a clean install; just wipe the user data from recovery and continue with the Install System steps**

Install System

1) Remain in fast boot or enter fastboot (power on while holding camera)

2) fastboot erase system -w

3) fastboot flash system system.img (using file contained in htc_system_img_14721.zip)

4) Reboot into recovery (power on while holding home)

5) flash update-cm-4.2.13-signed.zip

6) flash rad-4.2.13-ebi1-withcontacts.zip

now if I didn't miss anything you ought to boot into your CM install
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rcanavan:
Could we not just flash the latest radio image instead. This is of course for anyone already running CM 4.2.13 w/EB1 kernel... And of course, there is a different radio image for HTC Dream vs HTC Magic. It would be prudent to ensure the correct radio image is used.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ezterry:
My original instructions where in Dream development and only for the dream.

I'm not sure if anyone has extracted the new dream radio yet. (It's in the nbh but that is not a friendly format to work with) I think I saw a thread with all the components (boot.img/radio.img ect) of the Magic rom

Note nandroid backups don't usually include the radio/SPL;
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rcanavan:
Working on testing upgrade

I am currently in progress of upgrading using the DREAIMG.NBH file and putting recovery back in place after a successful upgrade. We'll see how that goes.

**Finished Upgrade of Rogers HTC Dream

I have the new radio image installed using the method of flashing the DREAIMG.NBH file, posting the Aman RA recovery, rebooting phone to permit Rogers radio image to be flashed. After the phone finished booting, I played it safe and rebooted into the recovery console, and performed a clean installation of the CM 4.2.13. Wanted to ensure that the nandroid backup did not restore the original radio image. When doing this it is highly recommended to wipe the dalvik-cache. Blank black screens occur when booting with a previous dalvik-cache in place.

So far my phone is working with CM 4.2.13 w/EB1 kernel and the new radio firmware.

** Further Update - The following day after the upgrade

It appears all Rogers is looking for is the correct radio version communicating with their system. My phone is now back to being operational without the need to call into tech support, get a network data refresh, etc. etc. All that I did this morning was power off the phone for 5 minutes and turn it back on.

**CONCLUSION

Rogers is looking for the radio version found in the update they are sending out. No build.prop files need to be modified.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] walie:
Its not, i'm have data after asking for a network refresh and i'm running cyanogen 4.2.5 with no modified files or updated radios
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rcanavan:
From what I have been reading, after a couple of days the "filter" finds you and puts the block back in place. Then again, I have only seen a couple of posts where this happened to people who had the network refresh done. I can't imagine they are pulling the phone info ( system build, etc ), however, I could see the radio identifying itself and that being the means for filtering. Just a guess....;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
This is incorrect

trust me

you people are over complicating things and im not guessing

I KNOW how this works intimately and its just a simple network refresh that fixes it

agents are told NOT to do this for you, so even if you are being told it was done they are not doing it most of the time

i have been running the old 32a radio for most of the time with data 24/7 except once when i needed to reboot my phone

if you keep waiting your gonna keep waiting for nothing

just a little fyi
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
I'm curious how you know? I am not trying to be a ****, I am legitimately interested. Any more technical details you can share?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
I know people and have access to resources most people don't

My friend told me the procedure that is followed as he works for customer care

and umm yea the network refresh was actually courtesy of the agent that i called on sunday

he did it for me even though i was questioning whether it would work and I was diconnected and had data working

I can verify ( through 3 friends with the same phones) that a network refresh is all that's needed to restore data and nothing more

If you loose it again simply reboot and it should return again

Ive lost data once when i woke up and reboot fixed the problem

you guys really over estimate how much rogers is paying attention to your software through their network

like many people have said getting iphone tech or customer care to do a network refresh and verify that it is done via a disconnected call from their call centre

as they do not hang up unless resetting your phone hangs up the call :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daeshawn:
Personally I cant figure how they really know. I upgraded with the cursorsense version and was good. On the monday i lost data. I used the online chat and got a network refresh. I have not lost data yet BUT i have received a total of 4 of the same update warning txts and yesterday i received 4 calls from rogers from a 1 888 347 ???? (cant remember the rest). I have since flashed another rom using the new radio and still at this point have data. Upon speaking to the rep via chat she stated that I can ignore the txts if I already did the update. One thing I have noticed in all the conversations with rogers that are posted is that not once has a rogers rep specifically told anyone that they have the wrong build etc. The rogers reps seem to actually ask you "what is the build" then if you give the wrong one, they will say its wrong. So i dont think they know. One last step I've done is enter my serial number over at the htc download site but didnt actually download the file. I have also signed in to my online rogers account and downloaded theirs .(sorry for the non paragraph rambling...it's early lol)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rcanavan:
Quick Thank You's!

I would like to send my thanks out to stilbon for providing the insight on the radio firmware being what Rogers is checking for. I presume with two of us having the same experience with doing a radio firmware upgrade, it should be confirmed now. ;)

I would also like to thank ezterry for the DREAIMG.NBH ( for HTC Dream ) file with the SPL update removed to give us the ability to get the new radio firmware put into place. Here is the link to his download: http // rapidshare.com/files/340176423/DREAIMG.nbh.html

Its been a long 5 days to say the least!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChillyEli:
So I gave in and I am running the official Rogers ROM image. I'm using the engineering SPL and Radio though that was posted in another thread and I just applied BOOT, SYSTEM and USERDATA.

I called Rogers yesterday from work and the cx service rep wanted my build number (this was before I flashed my phone). When I told him I didn't have my phone he said that the system checks the build number on the phone and that's what says "yay" or "nay".

So having my build number at "CursorSense-1.2.2" would not jive with the Rogers system.

I'll keep the Rogers ROM on for now until all this dies down. I'll update if this produces any results.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rcanavan:
If you have the official Rogers ROM with the radio image, you can easily revert back to any other ROM you wish. Just be sure to keep the radio image that Rogers is expecting. I can verify this on CM 4.2.13 w/EB1 kernel. I am also on the HTC Dream so I am not 100% certain for the HTC Magic, however, networking-wise it would appear that Rogers is doing a smoke and mirrors routine trying to point you down the wrong path.

Keep the radio to what the "fixed" ROM has, but use any other ROM you wish.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stilbon:
Beautiful! Glad it worked for you.

Quick side note: when I left the house (and my wifi) this morning I had no data until I did a reboot of the phone. Other than that I've had no issues whatsoever - hopefully it's something that just blows over once they had a couple of weeks of firefighting and troubleshooting - folks I know over at Rogers tell me this is likely to be the worst week they've ever had...one of them would only say that the tongue-in-cheek opinion is that there wasn't a single person in Canada NOT running a custom rom prior to all this hoohaa :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zuk_:
From what a more knowledgeable-sounding Rogers tech support rep told me, a network refresh will indeed re-flag your phone for the 911 check, and you will inevitably lose your connection at some point in the future.

In the last few days I've also had at least two reps tell me that they've been "locked out" from being able to trigger manual network refreshes. You may have better luck going through iPhone support instead as I think those guys may still be able to do it.

As far as the check itself, I do think it only checks your build version, not the radio. Apparently my phone passed the check, because my account is no longer locked, but I'm still not getting data, probably because my radio has not been updated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zuk_:
Regarding the DREAIMG.NBH radio update, it would be greatly appreciated if someone could post similar instructions for the HTC Magic....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rcanavan:
Hi zuk_

Perhaps bcrook could assist with the HTC Magic as I am pretty sure that is his phone of choice.

In regards to the build, its a smoke and mirror operation trying to deflect the real check which is on the radio itself.

The only thing I updated on my phone was the radio. I did not call into tech support, nor did I have a network refresh done.

After I did the update, the only thing I did in the morning was reboot my phone and the data service came back all on its own.

This is pretty clear evidence that the radio version is what is being checked.

I could be wrong on that, but we'll see how it goes on the 4 other phones I will be updating today. If there is data tomorrow on those devices then I would have to conclude that the radio version is the only check Rogers is doing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stilbon:
Yeah, I've been thinking about that but my data loss until a reboot this morning has me thinking maybe they're checking two things - radio on first connection to the network after a boot, and the build number string when they do a sweep.

My current build (after bcrook's patch) is 'DRC83 1.89.631.1'. When I did the modified Rogers update it showed a build string of '1.89.631.1 146733 CL#94714 release-keys'.

If I keep needing to do a reboot every morning, I'll muck around to see about changing the build string to exactly what they would be expecting.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] j.lai:
So I talked with rogers live support yesterday and I said I applied the update and they asked me what the build number was and I told them the build number of their update and they reset my data..They are so stupid..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Okay guys, I think you guys are misunderstanding what I did with the build.prop.

I have attached the build.prop's from the Rogers ROMs for the dream and the magic.

What you normally see (like in a cyanogenmod ROM) in the About screen under build no. is the ro.build.display.id field. In the Rogers ROMs the ro.build.display.id is completely ignored and the ro.build.description is displayed instead (please look at the attached .txt files).

The only place the build strings Rogers is 'apparently' looking for is:

1.89.631.1 146733 CL#94714 [dream]

3.05.631.7 CL#118917 [magic]

which is found in these lines in the attached txt files:

ro.build.description=1.89.631.1 146733 CL#94714 release-keys [dream]

ro.build.description=3.05.631.7 CL#118917 release-keys [magic]

They are sometimes asking for your firmware version, they want to see 1.5. I didn't change that line because I figured it would cause a ****storm with apps and the market and stuff.

I do not think that my "fix" has done anything - but who knows. It very well could be the new radio but I am not running and I have had data since Sunday night.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
FYI...not only has Rogers been sending me text messages and voice messages a few times a day to my mobile, but they also left an automated message on my home line which is on my Rogers account.

I still have access on my CM / bcrook netfix phone....so why is Rogers still notifying me?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xaueious:
I called Rogers about the messages and they are calling EVERYONE
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stilbon:
Ah yes, I looked through your .zip and I see what you mean, I did misunderstand. The string it shows on the About screen is just window dressing.

It's midnight here and I've turned the wifi off on my phone - sure enough my data was down again. And, after a reboot it's back. I know it was up and running at about 9 or 10pm, something triggered a disconnect since then.

So, something else looks like it's still going on, it's two nights in a row that they're flipping my data off, fortunately a reboot fixes it and I can live with that until we figure this all out. I've also noticed my battery looks like it's draining faster than it was before the mandatory upgrade.

I'm open to any ideas anyone has for things to tweak and I'm happy to test them out. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] flewid:
Hi Guys,

After repeated attempts of calling rogers and trying to get a refresh they just wouldn't give me one (or, when they said they did on two occasions, they didn't actually do it, i even threatened to cancel and got escalated - no go).

Then I came across this posting ;

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5480955&postcount=416

and this posting;

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5486532&postcount=428

I started following the steps from the first post, and am now at step 12 (I've booted into the Rogers 1.5 ROM). I got data the instant the phone came up, but, obviously now I'm un-rooted.

I'm confused about the next steps concerning the EBI0 vs EBI1 and the second link I posted - from what I gather from my reading, EBI0 is the version TMOB uses for their G1, and EBI1 is what we should be using on our phones with Rogers/Dream. So, I should be using EBI1 instead of EBI0 - so that leaves me the CYGEN rom + kernel (from what i understand anyway - i used to run theoriginal aosp 1.6, but i'm fine with cygen if it'll be fast under ebi1).

I also understand that using this new version I just flashed to the phone and the new 3.22 radio I'm now using EBI1 is that correct?

My question is does that mean I can just install the cyanogen + ebi1 kernel to the system now and everything will just work? Because as I understand it rogers is scanning for the Radio Version? I just don't want to brick the device.

In the instructions it mentions something about doing a restore from nandroid - but if I boot and press power + home, I see a standard recovery screen from android, not the regular one I used to see from JF.

I'm a little newb to this so it's also possible that I messed up and now I'm back to a perfected SPL - but I assume by the version below that I'm okay (according to the howto?)

Hi; Your SPL is still 1.33.2005 32B ENG S-OFF; This mean you are *not* stuck :D

Your original rom was EBI0; Rogers rom is EBI1. Originally you flashed a radio+recovery+SPL to switch to EBI0. But as I said its safer to stay with EBI1 and your device will run faster.

It sounds like you forgot to use fastboot to flash the recovery back after your install

a) Find recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2R.img on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566669

b) follow the fastboot install instructions on that page

Then you can run the steps here to install CM w/ EBI1 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5486532&postcount=428

Please also read the info on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod

While my steps are adjusted to get you from where you are now to where you want to be.. the warnings on the wiki page hold true
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
These are the correct steps.

To use cyanogenmod you just need to flash a 'port' file which is basically a kernel and some supporting files.

This is the thread you want for that:

All I had to do was call Rogers and lie to them telling them that I upgraded. They will ask for the new ROM's firmware and build number. Just give the following information if they ask:

Actually, since he's reflashed over his stock Rogers Radio, he's technically on EBI0, and therefore he needs to use the regular Amon-RA recovery, not the the one with the "R" on the end, or else he won't be able to boot into recovery... So he'll need to flash the "recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img" from this post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Chillaxed:
using fastboot i just flashed an other recovery image and it looks differnt from JF. same functions just different layout. its part of the thread that tells you how to update your SPL and Radio, its the next step, but if you have a magic don't flash the one that they give you because it's for the dream (i don't know why) go get the one for the magic. thats how i did it.

In Step 5, the HBOOT step doesn't work for me at all. It simply doesn't do anything after I've installed the file on the root of the SD card. Is there something I'm missing?
