Data cut off for Rogers users

Customers on Rogers that are using dream or magic currently have their data disabled until they upgrade to the network's newest firmware for the phone. I am currently running a cyanogen build. Would i have to flash the new rogers firmware and flash it back to cyanogen to get my data back? or is there an easier path i can take?

Do NOT attempt this. The Rogers' version contains PerfectSPL, which will prevent any subsequent attempt to reflash or root.
The impression I get from reading here and there is that most of us are waiting to see if changing the build.trout.prop file will spoof the Rogers' script check or, failing that, if someone will come out with a modified Dream ROM, as Cursordroid has done with the Magic. (Apologies, no links, as a "new" poster, I cannot insert hyperlinks).

Rogers a rip... but Bells even worse they lied to me just to get me into a contract, and the lied to try and keep me in the contract!

Any updates on this? I'm still without data outside of the house and it's getting to be a problem.

Just bonking this to see if any progress has been made. I've yet to find any other threads on it and I figure I'm not the only one with no data right now.

[Q] OTA HTC Software Update & Rooting

Hello. Im new to the whole rooting thing and I had a question. I figured this would be the best place to ask.
Im running software version 2.31.651.7 and my phone is Rooted through SuperOneClick. Recently sprint released an OTA HTC Software update; 2.32.651.2.
What I would like to know is......
1- If I apply this update, will it unroot or brick my phone?
2- Do I even NEED to apply this update, what does it do?
Thanks

I too have a rooted Sprint Hero 2.31.651.7 (another method), but when I tried to update, it didn't work. But that is probably because I installed the ROM Manager Boot Recovery installed.
Although in hindsight, it might be a good thing since it appears that people who did install the 2.32.651.2 update are already 'complaining' about their little Hero's. Reading posts over on the Sprint Hero Forums, people are saying the Hero is back to being laggy and stuff like that, including having to pull the battery to restore the Hero to operation on 2.32.651.2. Oh well, so much for that because I'm probably going to just leave my Hero the way it is since I'm only using it for nothing more than alerts, phone calls, and Tasker because I can tether my iPad to do everything else. At least the Hero is capable of doing that much.
Although, the conspiracy theorist in me might say that Sprint is trying to make us Hero owners get frustrated with our little devices since they pushed this unannounced patch that does not seem to fix much and appears to cause more problems right before the holiday shopping season which would make us decide to upgrade our Hero's to something else. Oh well, I have no 'Incredible' 'Desire' to do that. (Yes, that is a PUN and a 3G hint.)

if you upgrade the .7 official OTA, to the new update, you can root the new software version using the .7 root method.

[Q] N1 not receiving update notifications

I just got a used N1 and am using it on TMO as an upgrade from a MyTouch 3G. It was sold as being fully stock (no root, no unlocked bootloader, but I don't know how to verify that), and it is the holiday model (with the QR code on the back)
When I booted it up, it came to the main launcher (it didn't take me through the setup wizard). It looks like the last user did a full wipe (maybe not, because I thoguht that would make the setup wizard popup if they did). It was running 2.2.1 (I think) and had an update for 2.2.2 immediately ready to install. So, I let it install the update, which went smoothly and it's now running 2.2.2, with baseband 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7 and kernel 2.6.32.9-27240-gbca5320android-build apa26 #1.
I have been patiently waiting for my gingerbread update, and it has not arrived. I figured since 2.3.4 was rolling out, they stopped 2.3.3 updates and that was why I didn't get it. Now that 2.3.4 has rolled out, I still haven't got any updates, even after doing a checkin.
Does anyone have any ideas why I am being forgotten, and how I can go about updating my phone? I will not root or unlock the bootloader - I'm keeping this thing 100% stock and not willing to take any risks with it.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Update don't get push to everyone at the same time. Be patient

OK, thanks. So it might be normal that I haven't gotten 2.2.3, let alone 2.3.3 yet? From what I've been seeing in other threads, the OTA update being pushed out now is from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, so that wouldn't work directly from 2.2.2

You can always do a manual update and not have to wait for the OTA. Just download the corresponding files and rename it to "update.zip" and place on your SD card. Boot into recovery and apply update.zip. You remain 100% stock, but no wait.
And no, you need to go to 2.2 before going to 2.3.3 before going to 2.3.4. The OTA's are generally incremental updates.

Can't update to 2.3.3

I'm currently running 2.2.2 OS Build FRG83G. The phone has downloaded the system update but refuses to install it. I keep getting "zip verification failed". I've even tried a manual update with the same results. The phone is rooted and unlocked if that helps. How do I get this phone to update to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread ?

You have to be stock to apply official updates. Sense you are rooted, why not just flash one of the stock rooted builds in the dev section?

Hmm ok, I will go do that then and see if that works.

I am having a similar problem. I have a brand new N1 with 2.2 build 2.16.405.1 CL223106, do you know if I can jump right to 2.3.4 without first going to 2.2.3? Whats with my build number? Why doesn't it show FR....? I tried the #*#checkin*#* and am getting nothing OTA. Thanks.

You may have carrier specific build. Are you with Vodafone, or Videotron, etc?

Shouldn't be with Vodafone or Videotron. Its a PB99100 and should be for Tmobile. I bought this new from a 'questionable' site on the internet and now I'm freaking out. I do get 3G with my tmobile sim card.

Just because it works on T-Mo, doesn't mean it doesn't have a ROM from another carrier. It's possible you got some back stock from a carrier that tweaks their ROM...
I don't recognize the build number, so I couldn't say for certain, but it doesn't sound like a Google build...
You can switch to a stock ROM very easily by following the unroot/restore guide in the wiki. It will wipe your phone, so you may wasn't to backup what you can first (MyBackup is about the best non-root option).

Since you bought a version from a questionable source, does it happen to have a lock symbol at the bottom of the 'X' when you boot up? If so, it will make it sooo much easier to get your phone to a modern version. You could still stick with Google's Stock Android, or you could go with a better (in my opinion) 3rd party ROM like CyanogenMod.

[Q] My Droid 3 Is Flashed With Frawg[Ntelos] If I Update Will I Lose My Flash?

I Am Currently On 5.5.959 (stock) And I Want To Update To 5.6.890 Because I Heard The Battery Life Was Better And Whatnot

if you update to the leaked version you will be stuck on that version until an SBF is released and that could be whenever. if the leaked is the final which it probably isnt then you would be ok.
i am not rolling the dice on this one and will wait for the official as much as i am tempted.

If the OP runs the update.zip it will upgrade the radio and will definitely break data for Ntelos.

So basically i will never be able to update to anything..because i know when i had a sprint samsung epic 4g flashed to frawg i used to go into the system/app inside the zip and delete the SprintAndroidExtension.apk before i flash an update or a rom and it would stop it from autoconnecting to anything with sprint so sprint wouldnt autoride and delete the prl and whatnot
