So... Looking at my explanation of how I got the rogers ROM back on my phone, I thought I was a little vague.. So Here goes
Ill start at the beginning.
I noticed at around 7pm last night that I didn't have data and I have been unable to sign the waiver stating that my IMEI number is invalid (Noticed that GBD had a tweet about this being fixed.. Thanks GBD
) Now.. I rely on data for my phone so I thought, maybe I should go back to the Rogers ROM and that when the fun started
I Downloaded the Rogers RUU file (
RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_3.05.631.7_R_release_signed_NoDriver)
and followed the steps. The HTC recovery screen popped up and everything was going fine until the radio started installing.. During that time, the screen on my Magic went blank
confused:Aww crap.. I bricked it
)
I let it sit for a couple of minutes but nothing happened except an error that popped up on my computer stating "Unknown Error"
The software asked me to disconnect my USB cable, remove the battery for 3 seconds, plug in the USB cable and click next.. The recovery restarted but again, when installing the radio... Blank screen
Now I'm really worried to say the least.. At least I am able to get to the HTC recovery screen (thats all that pops up when the phone is turned on)
So... I Downloaded the older Rogers ROM
(RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_2.17.631.2_release_signed_NoDriver)
and tried again... crap, same thing
Blank screen on my magic when installing the radio and same error on my computer screen.. Now I'm freaking out
At this point, I might as well try everything so I downloaded the Euro ROM as listed on GBD's blog but as you may have guessed, same blank screen and same error from the software.. Now I ready to throw this phone against a wall and whimper in a corner but, I'm not giving up that easy.
I noticed that I didn't have my SD card in my phone (I took it out to backup my stuff before I started this whole mess and forgot to put it back in my phone and its the card I used as my gold card.. I put the card back in my phone and ran the older Rogers RUU.. To my surprise, my screen didn't go blank and the radio installed and now I have a working phone however, its the pre-911 ROM.. I launched the post-911 RUU.. and BOOM!!! Everything installed fine and now I have my phone back except I still don't have data.
called Rogers and told them that I lost my Data for some strange reason <Tee-hee> and they did a refresh for me and I was back in business
After doing all this, I think I'm going to wait till the official Rogers 2.1 ROM comes out.. I do have to say though, 2.1 runs really well on the magic
