Sorry for my English..
[G1 General] archet226:
i really need help badly. my dad gave me a g1 just three days ago, it was from the USA (im from the philippines btw) its already unlocked and i can use it with my simcard (globe telecoms) then just yesterday i decided to restore it to factory settings, when i turned it back on i am stuck with the "setting my g1 with my google acnt" i cant seem to register my g1 using my own simcard. when i try to sign in i get an error mesage "There is a problem communicating with the google servers"

i tried using the method posted on the first page, i downloaded everything, removed my simcard, i turned my g1 on and i am in the no simcard screen, i tried typeng enter reboot enter and it succesfully rebooted.

the problem here is that im completely lost

another problem is i cannot connet my g1 to adb, when i connect my g1 to my computer it automaticaly installs the driver, i dont have the options to install the drivers i downloaded.. pls tell me how to install drivers manually...

second, after i connect my g1 to my computer how will I connect it to adb shell (pls provide me specific procedures on how to do it)

any help would be appreciated

im getting frustrated now,.. i really want to activate my g1 asap...
[G1 General] archet226:
update. i am now ale to connect my g1 to adb

when i type adb devices, it detects my g1

but when i type adb shell i get a $

and when i try to enter sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES ('device_provisioned', 1);"

i get the message "permission denied"

pls help
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
First, you want to put your simcard back in. That makes it much easier to get registered :).

After you have the sim card in, it should skip the "locked screen". Connect to the phone with adb shell, and then type

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

It should show the settings screen on the phone, where you can enable wifi and setup a wifi connection, so that you can register over wifi instead.
[G1 General] gooker:
Hi i cant get root

Hi i followed all the instruction.

i have the usb setup also the adb

however when i enter the adb shell command im left with this prompt

$

At this prompt im typing su to get root privileged however it says permission denied

i cant enter the sqlbinary command with out that access level first right?

i followed the from the tip and tricks steps

<enter>telnetd<enter>

also to access root however it doesn't seem to work

also i dont have a simcard to bypass to the registration screen.

i just need to get to

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

so i can register over wifi.

im on a windows box could that be any reason i cant SU to root?

any help would be great to access root thanks.

never mind it works now apparently you can use a att sim card to by pass the sim lock screen.

thanks

Can we enable wifi on offical RC30 or newer?

I don't have data plan...

It's so expensive in Toronto...

I even don't know how to downgrade RC30 to lower without active it first...
[G1 General] Fastkill:
click the android to begin" screen, or the "no sim card" screen, then type the following on the phone keyboard

<enter>reboot<enter>

In these directions do you mean that I have to type each letter and symbol in character by character or do you mean press enter then type reboot the press enter again?

Also if we do not have rc29 or a modded rc30 what happens when we enter the enter reboot enter command? Is there anything on the screen that will indicate that we are doing this correct or does the screen just stay as in and nothing happens?
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
You have to downgrade to rc29, or have a modded rc30 in order to do this. It is impossible on stock RC30
[G1 General] luka007:
Hello!

I also have a sim card without data plan.

I did everything you said, and when i go to settings on my phone to connect to the wifi, i connect, and then I try to sign in with my google account, it won't work. Can you please tell me what are the possible problems, and what should I do?

Thanks!
[G1 General] cmavr8:
Does it ask for your username or email address?

In other words, try entering "username" and "username@gmail.com"... Just in case.
[G1 General] cp2001:
check out this thread, I had the same questions, if you hit enter on the keyboard, type reboot and hit enter again it will either reboot or do nothing, if it does nothing you have the official rc30, follow the directions in that post at the bottom, I had the same questions you had.
[G1 General] luka007:
Hey, I figured out how to do it, probably wifi wasn't good enough, but now is working and I'm very happy :)))). Thank you for response cmavr8, and thank you guys who wrote all of this!! (JF is a genious)
[G1 General] koopajr:
i cant do it idk wat im doin wrong i think i got everything right i have r29 and everything but wen i put adb devices it says

list of devices attached

and thats it

and i aslo type adb shell and it says no device found
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
Do you have windows or linux or your computer?
[G1 General] koopajr:
i got windows
[G1 General] cp2001:
Did u type <enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter> and <enter>telnetd<enter> on the g1 when it first boots and you get the android icon to click on?
[G1 General] nahanee20:
i have installed the driver, and my computer regognizes it as a android phone, but when i go to tools and select adb.exe i screen pops up and a bunch of lines go down and it closes within a second. if i go to sqlite3 it pops up and i am able to type in it. please help me
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
Yup. that's exactly what it's supposed to do. It is a command line tool. If you want to read what it says, open up a command window first, then navigate to that folder and run it from the command prompt
[G1 General] nahanee20:
thanks for the quick reply, so what do to get my phone to pass the registration, i have a sim card. do i need to root my phone before i start? i dont understand where i type in all these lines
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
do you have RC30? RC29? One of my modified versions?
[G1 General] nahanee20:
i have RC29
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
K. reboot the phone, then when it's back on the "click android to begin" screen, type (on the phone keyboard)

<enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter>

now, plug in the usb cord to your phone and computer, and then open command prompt on your computer, go to the folder where adb is, and type adb devices. It should list your phone.

If it does, then type the following command in the command window

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

That should display the settings on the phone, and let you connect to wifi, so you can register over wifi
[G1 General] nahanee20:
im sorry, but what is the command prompt, by the way thanks for all the help.
[G1 General] APrinceAmongMen:
Command prompt is a program on your computer.

Click Start, All Programs, Accessories and Click on command prompt.

Once it is loaded, type cd /<the path to the folder with adb>/.

Hit enter.

Then type, adb devices

Hit enter.

It should list your phone there. If it does, then type,

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

and hit enter.

The settings will show up and you can figure out how to set up your wifi from there.
[G1 General] nahanee20:
one last question, how do i find the path to the folder where it is? i made a new folder for it called g1 programs in my documents.
[G1 General] nahanee20:
ok so the adb is at C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\G1 programs\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools

but when i type it into command prompt i get it is not recongnized as an internal or external command. when i hit comman promt C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner> is pre written, so when i just add My Documents\G1 programs\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools i get the same thing
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
you want:

cd "My Documents\G1 programs\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools"
[G1 General] UnkzDomain:
Add quotation marks around the directory path since it has spaces in it.

cd "C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\G1 programs\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools"

EDIT: aww... beaten by JesusFreke... =D oh well!
[G1 General] nahanee20:
ok so it says list of devices attached, but it doesnt have anything on there. i think i may need to reinstall my driver, how do i do that?
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
Oh, right. I forgot the driver bit. did it ask you to install a driver when you plugged it in? If not, have you tried to install the driver for it in the past?
[G1 General] nahanee20:
nevermind its working, thanks you guys both for helping mem you guys did what no t mo rep could do
[G1 General] nassersyed:
Can't get passed USB

Ok, I've read through the entire forum, but I'm stuck at a simple step- How do I get winXP to not install it's default drivers? I'm in device manager and I tried uninstalling but there are a bunch of USB drivers, and none of them says "HTC" on anything. and then I tried searching my PC for new hardware. How do I enable it to install the google USB driver?

I am using a new G1 and it most likely has RC30- by the way, I see the instruction to <enter>reboot<enter> and my question for this is, am I doing this just be opening up the phone? or am I suppose to go to a particular screen? Just by typing <enter>reboot<enter> the phone should automatically reboot?

Thank you very much.
[G1 General] nahanee20:
ok so when i connect to a wifi network i just press back and do registration? because i dont have wifi at home im going to a starbuks and activating it there. and if i want to update it to a modded RC30, will i have to re connect it with gmail?
[G1 General] nahanee20:
i went to the starbuks and tried to set it up, but i keep getting your phone can connect to google servers. does anyone know what im doing wrong? i had changed the t mobile apn settings a while back but changed them back, does anyone have the defualt settings to see if i missed something. i tried rebooting the phone and registering but it still didn't work. any help will be much appreciated.
[G1 General] tagm:
Thanks JesusFreke, just registered with WIFI without a data plan! Really, stuff like this should work without anyone hacking their phone...

Glad there are smart guys here how can help us out :)
[G1 General] tagm:
This summary is quite nice, with the most relevant steps. Might be helpful.

[G1 General] nahanee20:
im thinking of trying to register it without a sim card now. So to get the root accsess how to i use adb push and copy the binary?
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
honestly, if you are going to use it without a sim card, your best bet is with the ADP1.1 image. It doesn't lock the phone like the G1 build does, when you don't have a sim card.
[G1 General] RedCastle:
Does it matter what version you use? As i had the Stock Tmo installed so could I use the adp version w/out a problem?
[G1 General] nahanee20:
when i tried to register it over wifi it said there was an error connecting to google servers. i had a good wifi signal, dont know why it happend, tried rebooting but still same.
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
I can't really help you with that unfortunately :/.
[G1 General] MontAlbert:
are you sure the phone is unlocked to use without a T-mob sim? My mate's isn't and this is what comes up on my his- he is waiting for the unlock code now- although ebay seller sold it as "unlocked"
[G1 General] nahanee20:
my phone isnt unlocked, i dont think it needs to be unlocked to run the same carrier. anyway i requested the unlock code form t mobile, they said it will take about 48 hours to 2 weeks. but i think i need to be able to get to the home screen to enter the unlock code.
[G1 General] nodens2099:
If it were locked, it would ask for the unlock code immediately after boot, before registration process. So it isn't.

I noticed sometime the phone lost ip address, routes or dns servers even though the wi-fi connectivity is good.

Check if you can ping the phone (you should find out it's ip address from your dhcp config, probably on the AP), if not try to disable wifi then enable it again (not sure if you can do that at this stage).
[G1 General] charnsingh_online:
Problem

It says activity class not found. When using root method it says permission denied. i am running official RC29
[G1 General] luka007:
Hey, I come to a very stupid situation. I already did all of this, and it worked, I registered g1 without data plan, but today, I don't know why, I reset my phone, which was very stupid..i tried to do this procedure again to register it without data plan, but now I have a problem.

when it comes to pres the android or no sim card screen I tipe <enter>reboot<enter> and it won't reboot. this is weird because first time I was doing this, it rebooted, I had rc29 or lower and I was able to register it without data plan.

Does this mean that my phone is now rc30 or something?? When phone was working, I was just downloading apps and games, I didn't tried to jailbrake it or something. So I don't know how it is not any more rc29 or lower..

What could it be??
[G1 General] luka007:
Is it possible that g1 phone automatically upadated to a newer version?
[G1 General] BrYanwithaY1986:
I have a question about this: How usable is the phone without registering it?

I'm looking at buying a G1 and immediately ending the data plan, after I downgrade to R29. If I bypass the registration, will I still be able to make phone calls and use most of the apps?

Another Question:

If I do this, and I reset the phone....will the registration screen come back? or will it be permanently gone? Because one of the things I'm worried about is....If I'm on a road trip or something, and my phone resets, I don't want to be locked out of it.

Has anyone here used it extensively with no registration?
[G1 General] vekexasia:
Is usable.. Registration is only for syncing purposes.. :)
[G1 General] nodens2099:
Don't you need to be registered to google to use the market ?

Of course, market is optional... But some apps will be hard to find without it :)
[G1 General] samrozzi:

[G1 General] psv619:
I can't seem to get this to work with RC33 - the phone is not recognized by the PC USB drivers. Any ideas?
[G1 General] kathi17:
Did you mount your SD card inside settings? If you didn't, your computer will not see it.

Someplace on here, there are links to the USB driver. I can't remember where, but doing a search will probably find it.
[G1 General] bob365:
what do you mean inside settings??
[G1 General] ibn912:
when i try to update my drivers it tells me it doesnt find any drivers more up to date than i have already and i have downloaded the drivers from here. while in the cmd shell i type adb shell and it says error: device not found. what am i doing wrong? i have a tmobile sim card just no data plan activated. can anyone help?
[G1 General] kathi17:
Sorry, I've been busy for a couple of days, and I didn't see this until now.

When your phone is plugged into your computer, go into the phone's settings, under the SD card settings, you can mount it. You also should have received a notification when you plugged in.
[G1 General] hdrum1:
I am having some problems

Okay here's my story, I bought a g1 off ebay, and then I bought the unlock code, but one thing went wrong! It was a brand new g1 so I have to register it first.. Sooo, I spent 2 full days trying to figure out how to do this regarding all these posts on the forum, I finally found one that worked but only on my xp desktop computer... I can get to the point where my menu on my actual phone changes to the settings and I can turn wi-fi on... But I turned it on and rebooted the phone and nothing happened! I even went to starbucks and tried connecting using there wi-fi (because I'm not 100% sure if wi-fi is specific wireless internet or if it could just be like comcast hooked up to a linksys wireless router) can somebody give me some tips or hints? Or did I do something wrong when I rebooted it hence I pressed <enter>reboot<enter> to reboot... please get back to me! Thanks!

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES ('device_provisioned', 1);

it keeps coming back

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>adb shell

how do i get to the root if i downgraded to rc29, and its not official the only comand that seems to be working is the reboot comand. I belive it is your dreaming rc29. I don't even know if is fully loaded because i could not get to the market for emulator and telentd,because of the sim issue. Any help would be great.

thanks

It happens to me too today. Just add the last "
[G1 General] xsoft:
I have RC29 and this soltion dows not work for me.

I can't skip "No SIM card" by:

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES ('device_provisioned', 1);"

This doesnt work for me as well:

setprop app.setupwizard.disable 1

.. if I dont insert a SIM card, Im on "No SIM card" error.

.. if I put inside another SIMcard (locked), I can skip SIM lock by skipping dialog, and then Im unable to finish gogole account login. Im connected to wifi (setting show up works), but it looks like no communication was made. I try WP2, and no-encryption. Also manualy added IP, and also one free public wifi. All with same results.

I cant edit packages.xml, even if I remount it for RW for all (strange). Im replacing it with "adb push" .. is it ok?

Yeap, I have root.

Or is there any place, from where I can read unlock code for SIM card?

Kill the lock screen or google.account.login.. will just loads back this app.

I can't flash any JF update, because (I thing) that after replacing recovery image .. is required to full load a phone (to home screen). but Im still lacked at registration part.
[G1 General] Cyprusboy:
Hi Jesus freke,

how can I get adb working? I doawnlod adbwin and ext., inside i see 2 dateis:adb a applcation, when i tray to open i get the massige: (see please the att. )

could u tell me please how to '''''''You have to connect to your phone with adb shell and get root access'''''''

thanks
[G1 General] premier wireless:
yeah tried that. it didn't work. I guess ineed to know how to get root access on dreaming rc29 without a sim card. I have tried everything in this thread. I am not sure if i have done them correctly. The only command that seems to work from the device is reboot. From adb i keep getting acess denied. after the commands. Makes me think i don't have root access yet. I followed a youtube video that was based of the instructions from jesus freake to get root access accept he edit all on the phone where the thread said use adb, but none of the commands work. they all say the same thing.

maybe i am not using the right cmd promt tool??? If that makes any sense. The first couple of days i was just trying to get adb to work in eclipse, but instead i am just using command propt with a link to sdk tools. I am so confused as you can tell anyway i think the cmd promt thing is working, so if any you can tell me how to get root access that would be awsome. I am not sure what frowning purple icon means, but it is worth a try, caution icon seem to keep everybody away except xsoft. even kept jesusfreke away. thank you in advance for your help.

So i was trying to get root on my phone and i had to downgrade it from RC33. I did that but i could not complete it because i realized that you need to set up the gmail account and everything.

If any of you are willing to help me step by step, i will appreciate it very much. I do have a tmobile sim card though, just thought i should let you know.
