Help with 911 fix on a Rooted Rogers Magic

I bought this phone off Craigslist with a bunch of accessories for $180. The data worked for 24 hours, then since this phone didn't have the 911 fix, it shut off. Now, signing the Rogers waiver for me simply doesn't work. I've called Rogers countless times for this and there is nothing they can do.
I asked this question on androidforums and someone told me to upgrade to 5.0 Cyanogen and a new kernel thing. I did all that and I'm still without data over 72 hours later.
My current settings/about phone info is:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Baseband Veersion: 62.52S.20.18H_3.22.20.17
Kernel Version: 2.6.33.4-cyanogenmod
Build Number: EPE54B
Now all I want to do is either downgrade to the 1.5 OS or keep the 2.1 or 1.6 OS with data. I know you can downgrade through HTC Sync, but all of my 6 family PCs do not recognize my phone through HTC Sync.
So what do I need to download/flash or whatever to get my data working? I'm not very technical savvy with Androids so if anyone can direct me to a good guide I'd be thankful.
Thanks
EDIT: I'm on a 32A device, if that matters.

Anyone?
I want this solved or I'm just going to sell this damn thing. Who wouldda thought Androids could be so difficult.

I think the problem you are facing is that because you cannot sign the waiver, you need to upgrade to the new radio. That is how rogers determines whether or not you have the 911 fix and are able to use data on their network. There are a few sources around here that can help you do that.

Once you upgrade the radio, you will need to pick a rom that uses the new 6.35.xx radio, if you want 2.1, I would highly recommend this one:

There are several more roms that use the new radio and some are better than others, most are easily discernible with [6.35] in the thread title.
Hope this helps!

I tried following the first one and got lost not only when I tried to create a fastboot, but also when I needed an SPL or whatever for a fastboot but I needed a fastboot for an SPL.
So confusing. Is there any easier way to do this?

hwy cannot you not get anything done by rogers? if you pay for data you are entitled to it regardless of what phone you use
tell them its a non-rogers phone called the htc magic from europe or something and it has long since been fixed before this 911 issue occurred on Rogers ;P
if they dont fix it then escalate to manager and if you have to office of the president
http://www.rogers.com/web/content/contactus
has the office of the president listed as well as other support numbers

The best (but certainly not easiest fix since it involves dealing with Rogers) is to call in and get escalated to 2nd level support (at least). They have a team that can add IMEIs to the blessed (do not scan/blacklist) list. Once you get your IMEI on the list you will have data again. If you politely keep insisting to get escalated technically (not to a manager) you can get to someone who has the ability to fix the problem. Keep pointing out that the issue is with Rogers and their implementation of the 911 fix (scanning and blocking on radio firmware level) and that your device is updated and does not have the issue. You need to keep insisting that the issue has nothing to do with your phone. The nice thing is once you get on the list, you will not have any more data issues. Based on my experience this will likely take you multiple calls and expect to loose data at least a couple of times during the process.
I went this route since my updated ROM already had the 911 fix and I was not downgrading to their ROM nor was I willing to sign their waiver and accept unspecified and unlimited liabilities.
Second option is to update the radio to 6.35 (since that is what Rogers is scanning for and making the blocking decision on) and get them to reset your data. That will also work except there are a lot more ROMs available for the old radio so this will certainly limit you.
I have no problem with data on my Magic, running a 1.6 ION based build, and using the old radio.

by escalating to tier 2 you are agreeing to the waiver verbally so they can add the fix...
no point in not doing the waiver if it works for u

You might try out the steps here to use the Dream radio with your Magic, that way you will still have 3G data: h ttp://greatbigdog01.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/rogers-post-e911-magic-to-cm-5-0-7-android-2-1-with-dream-e911-radio/
I'm using it here and it's great.

I tried calling Rogers again and claiming I was on the other operating system, they say they'll look at it.
Does anyone have a more noob-friendly guide to downgrading my Radio?

If you are on a 3.x radio currently, just flash the 3.22.26.17 E911 radio from the dream into your Magic. It's compatible and Rogers will then detect your phone as updated.

No it wont
If you have a 32A you need to sign that waiver to be on old radio. Request tier 2 support and just get them to give it to you. It's a pain in the behind not to do it. CM5 is well worth the hassle.

Actually GBD has been using the Dream radio on the Magic for a while now without getting data cut off.
To Rogers the Dream radio isn't the old radio therefor passing the scan sweep.

Just flash over new radio?
Hey guys,
I also have the same problem with rogers. I have been sent to tier 2 support but was wondering if I could just flash 3.22.26.17 E911 radio over top of my current one (3.22.23.18)? Would it brick the phone without having to wipe and reload the rom?
Thanks.

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

Not sure where the best place to ask this is...
I have:
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP50000)
3.22.23.18
RA 1.6.2H
Can I simply flash the 3.22.26.17 radio via ADB fastboot and be good to go on the sweep?
(edit: I have a Rogers Magic 32A on the Rogers network... trying to get the Dream radio on it per GBD's advice)

I can speak only for myself, but what I'm telling now i think is 99% accepted.
However I can not take any responsibility for your actions.
1. Usually it's safe to try any custom ROM with will NOT put your security on ON.
2. I only had problems with Rogers stock ROM which did not flashed correctly even if it said it did.
3. If you have S-OFF, you can recover your phone most of the cases if it boots into fastboot.
4. However, if you get S-ON, you can recover your phone with goldcard if you have a higher version of the ROM (I don't recommend you to get there)
5. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE HBOOT - RADIO PAIR YOU FLASH. IT CAN GIVE YOU SERIOUS HEADACHES. Search which pairs are compatible
6. READ CAREFULLY, BUT CAREFULLY EVERY TUTORIAL BEFORE STARTING TO DO ANYTHING
7. AH. DON'T EVER BE IN A HURRY WHEN FLASHING CUSTOM ROMS AND BE SURE YOUR PHONE IS FULLY CHARGED
8. The rest is history and, as always, GOOGLE is your friend
Good luck.

thanks .

unlock codes problems

i have a htc desire hd .and purchased a unlock code but when i turn phone on i dont get the enter unlock code, with wrong sim or without as stated by the code people and most people say the same turn, on phone with diff sim and enter your code, i dont get this screen is it possible to enter the code a different way?
as far as i have read its unlocked but whichever sim i put in it dont work
if i then put a voda or o2 etc sim in and try to connect it says, sim dont allow a connection to this network
any suggestions to this .
if i have to root ,install roms etc then so be it ,i just want the phone open to all networks...any advice is much appreciated

Hi,
Are you sure those SIM cards work in another handset?
Depending on your software version you may need to downgrade before you can root, apply S-OFF, and SIM Unlock.

yep all sims are current....i think i'll go down the road you say....i'll take a look
thanks .

My radio s-off tool can do simunlock, check it out.

[Q] How to root my T-Mobile mytouch?

Hi, guys.

How can I root and flash ROMs? Thank you

My sig, either guide will work.

One more thing, is it necessary to login google account in order to open the main menu and other apps in this phone? I tried to make phone calls, but the systems did allow me to do anything unless first login to google account. That's really wierd
I didn't have any data plan, so what should I do in order to do 'usual' things like other smart phones with my T-Mobile magic? Thank you.

You have to do the Google login with this phone to use it. If you get a custom ROM installed you can skip the activation screen and enable wifi to sign in. The old sschool method will get that done but you'll need to borrow a phone that runs Android to complete the guide. Optionally you can borrow.a data enabled SIM to do the other guide.

Thanks, man.
Is there any ver2.2 ROM runs good with this specific phone?

CM 6.1 seems to work pretty good for most.

Wildfire debranded question

Hello to all.
I'll get to the point... I've been wandering for several hours on this forum looking for information about rooting HTC Wildfire, and I found several threads. However my question is...
My phone is not locked to any carrier its "debranded" I can put any sim card I want. Majority of those threads I found were about debranding the device then rooting and installing custom roms.
This is my phone's info:
Code:
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0001
MICROP-0622
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO-3.35.20.10

If I use "HTCDev" tool to unlock my phone.. can I go directly to Cyanogen website and do the tutorial without using any other means such as "revolutionary". Just use the "Method via Recovery" and be done with it?
Thanks in advance.

Revolutionary unlocks your bootloader as in gives you S-OFF . Which allows you to do more things (For example mess with the internal memory of your phone). As for the HTCDev tool, I'm not sure, but some users say it doesn't S-OFF it.
And after you achieved S-OFF you need to flash a custom recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12782368&postcount=2

So with my HBOOT-1.01.0001 I have to use Revolutionary.. and then CM7
Since other people have 0002 they have to downgrade to 0001 is that correct or I have to download some RUU. I'm sorry for my noobishness but I've never done this.

No need to downgrade, just use revolutionary.

Thanks for the information.
I plan on using this guide "wiki(dot)cyanogenmod(dot)com/wiki/HTC_Wildfire:_Full_Update_Guide" with the "Method via Recovery"
I assume this is a valid tutorial?

Hit "THANKS" if this helps.

I've rooted the phone using Revolutionary
My next challenge would be custom rom and I'm planning on using CM7 mainly for the overclocking ability.

I got the whole job done in a couple of Hours (including the downgrade from 0002), loading the custom CM Rom was the easy bit, messing with the config is ongoing
When I first flashed CM7.1.0.1, the GPS didn't work, I had to also flash the latest Radio from the CM Wiki support downloads. Check it's working after your upgrade, easy to fix if not
