Call rogers and ask for general inquiries about account. Complain about the outage and ask for a credit.

I got 10 dollars I said mine was out for a week.
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
so now rogers is calling my HOUSE with the autimated msg to update my htc dream. not only on my cell anymore but at home. and im still getting txt msgs about it.
[G1 Android Development] hdtav:
Question?

I downloaded this file from HTC's website, signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-150275.zip it is firmware version 1.5. My question is this, does this file already have the 911 bug fix and if you were to flash it to your phone would you still have root and be able to get 3G back on your phone?
[G1 Android Development] Silent8Strike:
I phoned rogers a few days ago and gave them the new firmware information that was posted on here instead of mine, and now I have my 3G back! It took a while but it worked. Now I hope they unsuspend the Magic upgrade.
[G1 Android Development] dash4g:
**** THAT. I called into rogers again because I am also still recieving the messages (and after a network refresh hours after the blackout, 3g is still working)

I called in and said dont call my ****ing house, or I will be pissed off. I gave some excuse as to having a baby at home and the house phone is emergency only... yada yada yada....

I said if it happens I will be cancelling my contract because they are harrasing me. The rep removed me from some list, but in retrospect it seems to be something like this:

I now have a chip to use to cancel my contract with and limit my cancellation fee.

The way I see it, if I can get away with cancelling data for free (I'm going to blame the blackout issue, and being crappy service) im halfway there, next will be claiming I dont get good service where I live, and BAM cheaper cancellation fee.
[G1 Android Development] stevo32:
When calling into rogers support, do NOT try the "I've already installed the update but it's not working, plz do network refresh" method. When I talked to a representative, I asked for this repeatedly, but he said on the ticket in question, it was written in extremely large letters in multiple places to deny this to anyone who reported HTC Dream issues.
[G1 Android Development] frenchy128:
So do I.. I'm calling back next week, as a rep on Tuesday told me it was on hold. Remember, the free-upgrade-offer was a result of Rogers not upgrading the HTC Dream's to Android 1.6 and above.. Don't let rogers tell you that the 911 patch on the Dream has been fixed, and as a result the offer is no longer.. It was about our updates, and the lack of them..
[G1 Android Development] Unicornasaurus:
Just a quick update. I'm onto day 6 after getting my "network refresh" on Monday. Data still hasn't gone down. I was on CM .13, and recently flashed Dwang 1.17.1. Data is still up and running strong; although I am still getting calls to my house/cell and text messages saying that I need to upgrade. If they don't stop, I will call them back and tell them that if I get any more calls/text messages, I'm filing for harassment charges. After you warn them, you're legally entitled to press charges if they continue to do so.
[G1 Android Development] copolii:
Have you complained to the CCTS yet?

This is what I got in my mailbox today:

Please, if you haven't done so, DO IT! Let's be heard. These assholes think they can do whatever they damn please because so far we've taken it, then paid our bills at the end of the month. This is when it stops.
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
update on my end,

still getting calls and txts tellin me to update

so i did so , 1.6 to 2.1 haha

screw their rom. ive had 3g since day of the knockout.

network refresh + download s/n

no problems since.

still leaving for telus in the next month. on the list here for milestone.

and they will accept an unlocked dream, so i got a nice backup phone :D
[G1 Android Development] MrException:
I just wanted to post to thank ezterry for his instructions on the first page of this thread. Post #6.

I installed ezterry's hacked DREAIMG.nbh and the recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2R.img recovery. I waited over night, and shortly after 12:00 I rebooted my phone. And 3G works! Woot.

I have not re-installed cyanogen, but that is my next step. I currently just have ezterry's hacked version installed.

Thanks a lot ezterry!

**** ROGERS! STICK IT TO THE MAN!
[G1 Android Development] copolii:
Just for the record, to all of you who got away without installing the cancerous ROM: I'm Jealous and I hate you ;)

I can not stand this piece of **** phone anymore with this slow-ass rom. I hope the one they're sending me 'accidentally' escaped this rom.

They better not charge me for it, because I told the guy that I'm confident it's not my phone and it's the rom. He still said he's gonna send me a new one.
[G1 Android Development] xaueious:
I followed post #6 and here are the screenshots of the Rogers ROM:

I have a weird issue with Super D now though. It never Powers off properly . Instead it is restarting. Not sure why. Anyways I never need to shut off my phone anyways so this isn't a big deal. It's just weird.

This shows the updated radio string.

I have a nandroid backup of the Rogers ROM if anyone is curious.
[G1 Android Development] HyeProfile:
For all of you who are pissed at Rogers for voluntarily cutting off your data/edge/3g/internet and who have a contract, file a complaint with the Commissioner for Complaints for Telecommunications Services and mention that Rogers has voluntarily breached the terms of your contract by cutting off your data (also mention that they didn't need to cut your data since it was not related to the 911 issue), and tell them that the only resolution you will consider is that you be allowed to terminate your contract immediately and without penalty, while still maintaining your currently services on a monthly basis until you can find a suitable replacement with a competitor.
[G1 Android Development] chili434:
They must be scanning?!

Hi Everyone,

Just had a very interesting thing happen to me. I am running a ADP1 on the rogers network. I have had this device for almost a year now and Rogers has no knowledge that I have the device. In fact my contract has been over for almost 5 years now and they have no clue what phone I am using. BUT they picked up that I was using a Dream/Magic on a reboot today. I think they must be reading some info when the phone registers on the network.

Interestingly though they said the following in the text message explaining they don't know if my version of the device is affected!

Safety Message: URGENT 911 Calls: We understand you are using an HTC Dream or Magic device on the Rogers/Fido network. A bug is present in thRogers version of these devices that prevents customers from completing 911 calls in certain scenarios. This is being corrected in a software update fophones purchased from Rogers. However, we are unable to confirm if your HTC device has the same 911 connectivity issue. HTC is urgently investigating awe will provide information as soon as it is available.

The safety of our customers is our top priority and, as a precautionary interim measure, we srecommend that you turn off the GPS capability in your device to ensure 911 call completion in case a similar issue exists.
[G1 Android Development] bcrook:
With help from beav_35 on IRC we were able to extract the nbh file for the Rogers update.

Here is the download for the 3.22.26.17 radio

http://briancrook.ca/magic/rogers/dream_update/radio.img_stock

md5sum: 0eb7c5530ef38eeaa07590e6924c7814

I haven't tested this as I don't have a dream. Hope all is good!

Script: http://zenthought.org/tmp/nbh-extract.pl

This script puts out files named like part0.img, but through file sizing we were able to determine (hopefully) the names of the important ones.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
RE: They must be scanning?!

They know the phones IMEI code when its connected to the network (I assume you usually have your phone on the network.. ie on)

The first 8 digits will tell what model of phone it is; And is either the same for all ADP1; or at least all of your run. (it will be different from the rogers dreams)
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
filed my complain, hopefully alot more people are, get as much attention on this rogers issue as possible!
[G1 Android Development] DefconZero:
I know this may sound stupid, but we flash the radio file as we would a rom file, correct?

I rooted my phone soo long ago I can't remember how to flash the new radio file :P.

And searching has proved to not be useful thus far..

Thanks,

Wes
[G1 Android Development] Merritt:
Thank you for the helpful link, I have also filed a complaint asking for immediate cancellation of my contract without penalty. If I get out of my contract, I'll go to a cheap plan, save some money, then sell my Dream and buy a Nexus One. Damn Rogers.
[G1 Android Development] bcrook:
If you have a 2.x radio, you will need the matching SPL for this radio and correct recovery (1.5.2R from Amon_RA). If you have the slightly older 3.22.x radio, you can just flash the radio

SPL: http://briancrook.ca/magic/rogers/dream_update/hboot-1.33.2005.img

Download the radio and rename it to radio.img

Radio: http://briancrook.ca/magic/rogers/dream_update/radio.img_stock

Recovery: http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2R.img

fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.2005.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2R.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

This will load you back into fastboot mode, confirm the radio and SPL numbers match the new one.

3.xx dream users just flash the radio.

2.xx dream users will now need to use the EBI1 port for cyanogenmod:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=592377

Disclaimer: SPL and radio flashing can be dangerous, I am not responsible for bricked devices or anything. If you are concerned, do it with the official nbh or wait for other guinea pigs.
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
Apparently a nexus one went through fcc with frequinceys for att and rogers and telus and bell

So hold off.

I'm leaving rogers for telus and getting motorola milestone

#1 on wait/call list to get one at the store here when they come in
[G1 Android Development] etiennepb:
I'm going to give this a shot but I'd just like a little clarification. I'm running the 3.22.xx radio. If I'm reading right I just have to dl the radio image, rename it and run the first and last lines of code in fastboot.

Cheers,

Etienne

EDIT: Rereading the post it seems this is for people that haven't already flashed the rogers nbh, which I have. damn.
[G1 Android Development] copolii:
Correct. If you have already applied the update, you're screwed as of yet. I doubt it will help, but call HTC and ask if there's a way to go back. They told me no, but I refuse to believe that.
[G1 Android Development] dash4g:
I am going to pursue this HARD.

I just called in to talk to a rep, and she put me on hold for 20 minutes to try and find where in the contract it said it could cut me off the internet. I told her that I dont have a copy, however I can assure her that there is no clause that says they can voluntarily cut my internet off for no good reason.

She then put me on hold again to find a manager, and returned saying "none were availible but they can call me back at a time of my choosing" so i said, same time tomorrow works.

I am going to have all my ducks in a row to slam this manager when he calls me, they cant treat us like this. My main points:

1. They cant cut off internet when it is my only source of emails and business access, as there is no monitary value to what I lost that day.

2. No reason to cut it off in the first place, as I am uneffected ( I will be wise of the way I word this, I dont want to tell them I am running a custom rom )

3. Nothing other than cancelling my contract without a fee will justify them cutting off my internet for 24 hours with less than 48 hours notice​
[G1 Android Development] beav_35:
I would just like to clarify a few things for people who would like to try flashing the img of the new radio for the dream.

Everyone with a rooted rogers dream should already have the 2005 SPL. Check to make sure, but if you have it don't flash it again.

If you have EBI1 (3.22.20.17 radio) all you have to do is boot into fastboot and run: "fastboot flash radio radio.img".

If you are on EBI0 (2.22.19.26I radio) you must flash the new radio then the v1.5.2R recovery through fastboot. Next reboot into recovery then flash bcrook's EBI1 kernel port.

3.22.26.17 radio: http://briancrook.ca/magic/rogers/dream_update/radio.img_stock

I will add this information to the wiki soon but I thought I would post it here first. I hope this helps, and if you have any questions ask away.:D
[G1 Android Development] JamieD81:
there is always a way around something, its having the patiants for someone to find the hole. nothing is perfect.

im glad i didnt get suckered into their rom.

im currently on 2.1 eclair with fully working 3g, no updating to anything rogers wanted me to.
[G1 Android Development] xaueious:
I do have a few questions but just for understanding purposes. I have the new post 911 Rogers EBI1 radio installed already.

It is also kind of late now so most of the phones right now are probably already flashed to the new perfected SPL, which is too bad. Nice to have this information for the rest of us, or maybe just until someone figures out how to obtain root again.

1)

Say we flash the EBI1 Rogers radio image update without updating our recovery first, this wont break our SPL will it? It just means that we have to fix it by flashing a recovery image compatible with the EBI1 radio (the R version). Yes?

2)

The Danger SPL (2005) is compatible with both EBI0 and EBI1 radio images, so there is no need to upgrade the SPL if we have it ready. And we need to update to the Danger SPL since the stock Rogers SPL (pre 911 update) was not compatible with EBI0 devices. Yes?

3)

The updated Rogers 911 EBI1 radio (3.22.26.17) may result in erratic behavior in our phones since it has not been tested to work with our custom roms or even with this SPL (My Super D 1.7 in particular didn't know how to Power off my phone anymore). I don't know how to read logs so I can't really verify this myself, but the phone does function the same as before from what I've seen so far, for the most part, including 2G/3G connections and phone calls.

Yes?
[G1 Android Development] stevo32:
I'm glad to see that there appears to now be a technical workaround.

For those of you who still haven't managed to convince rogers to give you a network refresh, pop your SIM in another GSM phone (borrow one from a friend, it'll only take 5 minutes), call Rogers, go technical support -> other phone and ask for a network refresh. I did this with an old Motorola phone and noted that data was "kind of spotty" (which was true, i was getting EDGE when i booted and then it died immediately thereafter). They immediately gave me a network refresh. Continue trying until you get one. Also, make sure to file a complaint with the CCTS.
[G1 Android Development] Merritt:
Very odd..

On Wednesday, January 27th I talked to tech support, asked for network refresh and was denied, he said he'd bump me to level 2 support but nothing happened.

Around ~9:23pm January 31st I filed a complaint with the Commissioner for Complaints for Telecommunications Services.

Then around midnight, suddenly my phone beeps with a notification (which is weird since I have wifi off), I check, and my data is back.

I'll let you draw your own conclusions...
[G1 Android Development] beav_35:
Yes, you would just boot into fastboot then flash the proper radio from there.

First part, yes. The spl needs to be updated to allow you to flash using fastboot.

I really don't know what the differences are. For all I know they may just have changed the version number so they can tell if we have updated or not. I assume that you are using bcrook's port for Super D right? You could plug in your phone to usb, turn on debugging and run "adb logcat". Then try powering it off and send the output to bcrook and see if he will take a look at the issue.
[G1 Android Development] mikesol:
I'm not sure if this is related in any way... but here goes!

I had the data cutoff with my Dream like everyone else, and called Rogers and they immediately turned it back on, which was nice.

However, just today - around 4:00 PM PST - all cellular stopped working on my phone (in the middle of a call!)

The phone will not get service at all. If I put my SIM into my old RAZR, it works just fine.....

I'll be calling Rogers tomorrow to see what's up, but I just wondered if this happened to anyone else.
[G1 Android Development] alan090:
yes from the date you get the upgrade to the magic you are required to extend 3 years from that day

so its pretty much a one month extenstion for me since i renewed for my 17$ corporate plan that has 250 mins call display vm

and then resigned it again 2 months before to actually get the dream

so really i dont see it being a downside

and with SWYPE and the extra 100mb of ram im actually diggin the magic > the dream
[G1 Android Development] Unicornasaurus:
I was thinking this too, but I have come to the conclusion that they could get around this point. The fact being, that if you have data on your phone, you are able to load Google Maps. If you're able to use Google Maps, then you are more inclined to turn your GPS on - thus, causing the '911 Glitch'.

From their standpoint, they can argue the case that without data, it makes Google Maps useless and the GPS function as well to. The exception being people with GPS software(Tom Tom, NDrive, etc. etc.).

I agree Rogers could have done some better research on their part in response to their "scanning", and actually check if the version that someone is running is better than what they would like to push out. But as far as they know, everyone is using the original HTC/Rogers software and therefore everyone was susceptible to the 911 error.

By no means am I endorsing or condoning what Rogers is doing/has done, and I am just as angry/pissed off as you are.
[G1 Android Development] westway11:
If you can get the Magic at no cost then do it! Who cares if they extend your contract, just sell the phone on a classified site, and use the money to "break" your contract. This is a win-win situation.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Except that the value of the device doesn't come anywhere even near to the cost of breaking your contract.

1) You end up with a useless device.

2) You end up in a long term contract.

3) You get a$$-raped.
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
Is this deal back on? I want a free magic. Extending my contract by a month is of no concern to me.
[G1 Android Development] dawgbone98:
Pot, Kettle, etc...

Really? I had no idea (you know, despite mentioning it several times).
[G1 Android Development] dawgbone98:
Useless? Again, you love your hyperbole don't you? Unless you are a complete twit, it's completely possible to make a point without having to rely on complete and unfounded exaggeration.

Most of us are already in a long term contract, which is how we got the phone in the first place. This just extends it a few months.

Not if you were smart enough to not get a crappy plan in the first place.
[G1 Android Development] SilentTweak:
+1

You go dawgbone98!

I have a pretty good retention plan myself, and I'll be hard fetched to find a plan that's similar for the same price.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Because the device is NOT universally compatible. Only works on networks using obsolete EDGE, or the extremely uncommon HSPA850/1900. That means that the hardware will NOT work with any of the new providers, who use the more typical 1700/2100. And since nobody wants to pay MANY TIMES what the service is worth, the hardware is essentially useless.

Even ONE MONTH extension is too much. At the end of the contract when you decide to switch to a better provider, you'll be needing new hardware anyways (as I've already mentioned, what you get from robbers is useless), so you're basically just screwing yourself.

If you're with robbers, the plan ***IS*** crap.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
No, but you can get one that is *considerably better* for the same (or less).
[G1 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Ok I haven't said anything about these "better plans" as I hadn't checked but I was getting sick of listening to lbcoder spout off about how my rogers plan sucks so much I thought I better check Wind Mobile.

1st lets start with the coverage, my house in Oshawa is just on the edge of the Home zonethat exists now and the expanding coverage for 2010 doesn't reach much past my house. It also doesn't extend to where my family lives and it doesn't extend to where my son lives. so the "home zone" is pretty much useless to me.

Now the cost of the plan. The cheapest plan is 15, but I have a dream so I need data add 35 (unlimited data), and add 5 for unlimited text. =$55 I don't understand how many minutes I get while out of the home zone but I'll be generous and say 200 minutes and since I am not in the home zone all of the time I'll use up my mines. Oh and times this by 2 because my wife has an iPhone and needs the same as me. $110.

With Rogers, i have the family share plan with data for $100. I have 300 minutes, I have

data (mind you it's only 1GB shared and so far we have used 500MB together so unlimited is not needed), I have the unlimited text. Yes I know there is the extra $40 for the other phone or something like that. So I give Robbers $150 total.

That extra 40 more dollars isn't the giant amount that lbcoder had lead me to believe that I would be saving. Plus I get the Magic for free. yes I had to resign for 3 years but I don't think that extra 2 <bold>weeks</bold> yes weeks makes a big ****ing difference.

So yes Wind is a bit cheaper but it doesn't really cover my area well enough and it is not that much greater. Yes lbcoder we know you hate rogers and we know you love someone else (possibly wind) but for some of us its't not that big of a deal and doesn't work well either so can you please just Shut the **** up about how much you hate rogers. We know and i personally don't care. I am stuck with them for 3 years because I chose to sign up with them.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Most people are embarrassed by this specific point. Result is that they walk around with their eyes closed and are hostile towards information that suggests that they made a bad decision.
