DID IT!

Thanks so much!!

I now have to wait for the unlock code so that I can also use my sim card...

Thanks both of you!

EDIT:

T-mobile sent me the unlock code although I was not a customer for even one day!

That's great...
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
Great! Glad you got it working :)
[G1 General] xaxis:
how?

thanks
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
Probably by getting lucky and getting a nice CSR :p
[G1 General] xaxis:
man thank god you are here,

do i need the SDK installed to get the adb?

thank you
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
Yes, adb is included in the sdk
[G1 General] chineseboy16:
Hi guys, I think I have a RC29 since I can reboot using the commands.

I followed all your directions on how to unlock the phone but I'm always stuck at this point.

I type this command on my G1

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

Then I hook up my G1 to my computer and set the filepath to Adb\tools as you can see in the picture, and it never finds my phone! What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I also installed the driver by right-clicking the .inf and installing it.

I already had my g1 unlocked and how it got unlocked was the weirdest thing. I never had a data plan or anything. I was just able to sign up without a 3G network. Very odd.

I also didn't install the Android SDK, I just extracted it to my desktop.
[G1 General] kockroach:
I apologize if this has been answered, but I am having a hard time searching for an answer to my question.

I know that you can skip registering with Google if you use the ADP1.1 update. If I keep my T-Mobile SIM in when it shows the registration screen, will it still allow me to skip, or does it force it since the SIM is present? If I take out the SIM, and then register over Wi-Fi, and then put in a different SIM (assuming I have it unlocked), will I lose my contacts from the original register over Wi-Fi?

registering G1

I had already downgraded my G1 according to the instruction posted here.. because I'll be registering my G1 here in the philippines by following every of your instruction. but the problem I am encountering now is that my pc (windows XP) is not recognizing my device. everytime I plug it in it says, device not recognized. Even though I have alerady downloaded the SDK that includes the device installer and installed it by right clicking the install. I'm way half there because the adb is working now in cmd. I know that If my device will be installed properly, the rest will follow, and I'll be having my G1 ready to use again. Because it's already unlocked.

I'm hoping for your concern regarding this matter. I'm needing so much help from you guys. I know you can help me.

please.. please..

I'm done the first step of downgrading it.

I already installed SDK and adb is running

I have tried right clicking the USB installer then it refreshed

After it

I went to command

typed adb devices but nothing was listed after the "list of devices attached"

I'm almost there.. to start the registration without the sim.. but i don't know what the problem is.. and it's freaking killing me now.. I'm spending 2 days now..

[G1 General] shizueleven:
Dear jepnitz88,

You are getting no device because you are missing these steps.

====================================================

2. Type <enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter> On your keyboard

(<enter> is the enter key)

tip: you can also try out your anti-typo skills by typing <enter>reboot<enter>

Note: you will not see any window pop up while u type. It's entirely blind.

3.Download the SDK

http://code.google.com/android/download.html

4.Download the USB Driver

http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip

5. Connect your G1 to the PC and it will begin to install. You will receive a notification of an ADB device and it will ask you to find the drivers for it. locate the file in your Android_usb_windows folder that you unzipped and let it install.

=======================================================
[G1 General] VAMCAVALO:
Please guys,

I have ADB Shell but i can't have root access; i don't know how to copy busybox using adb push.

[G1 General] VAMCAVALO:
JF, thank you man, you rocks!

If someone have the same problem, i dont know how to use adb push and then i use a EDGE SIM to register the first time

After getting root, i followed the orders and it's ok!

THANKS
[G1 General] jepnitz88:
I did the step two 3 and 4, when I connect G1 to the pc, it says unknown device, then the device is installed and ready to use. but still when i type adb devices there are still no devices attached, I am not receiving any notifications of an ADB device.

grrr... help me again.. sorry for being such an annoyance. i just need help.

I want to know How to register the G1 without a sim or data plan?

I'm reading all the comments and I already installed android SDK and android USB but when I connect my g1 it doesn't show nothing.:mad:
[G1 General] luk1:
Looks like endless circle.

I just got the new G1 phone and try to connect it to the computer. I downgraded it to RC29, got adb and usb drivers (they come with SDK_1.1_r1, usb_driver folder) but can't bypass Gmail activation (i don't have data plan).

1. I understand that to bypass Gmail activation, i need to get the telnetd application into the phone somehow, so it can talk to adb installed on

the computer, correct? I mean, phone is new, nothing is there (only default applications), and as it's still "unactivated" i can't connect to WiFi or GPRS and download telnetd from the Market.

Looks like endless circle.

2. Is it necessary to change something in the phone settings BEFORE it can be detected by the computer?

(like enable in phone "Device debugging" by going to settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging,

i don't have access yet to any settings of the phone, need to bypass Gmail activation first).

As i connect it to the computer, it's recognized just as the "HTC Android Phone USB Device" (i think it means that USB cable is good, the same with 3 other cables) in Device Manager (under Disk Drives),

but not as the "Android Sooner ADB Testing Interface" or something, as it should be, if USB driver is installed properly.

So i try to "Add new hardware", find the folder SDK\usb_driver\x86 with USB drivers and got this:

"The following hardware was installed: Android Sooner ADB Testing Interface. The software for this device is now installed, but may not work correctly. Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware (Code 37)".

In the Device Manager new item appears with yellow mark (under ADB Interface) "Android Sooner ADB Testing Interface".

Any ideas what's wrong there? Cables, drivers (SDK drivers are dated 2/5/2009), phone settings needed for computer to see the phone, or what?
[G1 General] licsinmex:

WHY IS MY DEVICE OFFLINE? I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG... IT'S ALREADY RECOGNIZED AND INSTALLED.. BUT IT ALWAYS SAYS OFFLINE.. AND HAVING ERRORS IN ADB SHELSS BECAUSE IT SAYS ITS OFFLINE.. ANYONE? PLEASE HELP ME.. OR ANYONE CARE TO EMAIL WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT IN ABLE FOR ME TO CONTINUE THE PROCESS OF REGISTRATION WITHOUT A SIM OR DATA PLAN. MY EMAIL ADD: jepnitz_88@yahoo.com

EVERY SINGLE HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

PLEASE PLEASE.

adb shell to settings menu

I just got my dev phone too. Thanks for instructions. But I get only “Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front” -- adb is not detecting ADP device, only emulator. Device Manager shows “HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface” (usb driver was installed from SDK 1.1). Fastboot is recognized. I’m new to this and any pointers will be appreciated.
[G1 General] fulgerul:
This is how i did it :

1. Downloaded SDK and USB DRIVER (see above posts)

2. Connected PHONE to PC via USB CABLE

3. Typed <enter> setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1 <enter> on PHONE KEYBOARD. New device found - set to search for drivers in the USB DRIVERS recently downloaded

4. Extracted SDK to C:\SDK

5. Now you have to do exactely:

press Start - RUN - CMD

Type CD C:\SDK

Type CD TOOLS

Type ADB DEVICES (to see if device connected)

Type ADB SHELL

Now you will have : $

Type: am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings (you may use RIGHT CLICK - COPY PASTE function)

Now check PHONE SCREEN :)
[G1 General] jepnitz88:
yikes

thats the same process i am following.. the android phone has already been recognized and installed.. but when i got to enter adb device in command, it listed the device but it says it's offline. and when i typed in adb shell.. it says error: device offline. grrrr............i need help.. or should i say i need miracle?
[G1 General] amiah:
How can you activate the phone if you have a modified RC33 firmware by JF? Can someone tell me the commands that I can use in recovery mode on the phone.
[G1 General] mattrophy:
This is the KEY

In order to use ADB, you must have a cracked firmware where you can

get root and do the following:

Type <enter> setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1 <enter> on PHONE KEYBOARD.

There are better guides on these forums, so I wont repeat them here.

I used the sticky posts on this forum and here:

http://www.webnetta.com/2009/01/02/t-mobile-g1-rc30-to-jfv13/

for my RC30 stock T-Mo device... it was many steps to revert it back to RC29, then get root, and proceed to flash with dev-root-enabled RC33 firmware... you cant skip any steps. Use GPartEd to re-partition your SD card as FAT32 (FAT wont work, according to many posts) And ADT wont work

unless you have root and enable the persistent variable as stated above.

Verify this by typing, afterwards,

<enter>reboot<enter>

If this doesnt reboot your phone, then you werent in the right mode to enter root shell info, you dont have root, or something else is wrong.

There is a "terminal emulator" app you can download that starts a real shell - you'l need to "su" then enter the same props line there. That should also work.

-M@
[G1 General] Molevich:
every time i type <enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter> nothing happens, Windows still picks it up as a mass storage device. It is rc29 checked it couple times it does reboot if you type <enter>reboot<enter> :(
[G1 General] Molevich:
Ok here is what u do if you have Vista and you have problem installing usb drivers on your pc/laptop.

Go to Start>Control Panel>Calssic View(Should be in top left corner)>On the first row click on Device Manager> There you should see your phone some where on top with Yellow exclamation mark>Click on you phone>Click Driver>Click Update Driver>Click on "Browse my computer for Driver Software">Click on "Let me pick from the list of device drivers on my computer">Then it should say "HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface(if it doesnt, click on "have disk" and just go to directory you have the usb driver saved at and install it that way) :D
[G1 General] jepnitz88:
Been there

have done that.. And it says cannot complete upgrade.. The system did not find a better match software bla bla bla...
[G1 General] Molevich:
you dont need you system to look for a software for you. that is the way to that you tell windows that is the software is for you device. Make sure you doing every thing right
[G1 General] androiddavid:
ok so i downloaded the driver and everything and it showed up on my computer already...but when i type in adb on the cmd thing it says its not recognized...also, that <enter> persist...bla bla bla thing; where am i supposed to type that on my phone?
[G1 General] :
i think if you're running a rooted version (adp 1.5jfized) you're able to register/activate without a data plan (skip procedure)

gratz
[G1 General] Stryder5:
When you use cmd, you have to navigate to the folder with the adb.ese file (type cd path/to/folder)
[G1 General] Stryder5:
Doesn't that make the phone unstable?

Also, does the method in OP work for adp 1.5?
[G1 General] jepnitz88:
still stucked

have done this already and it is successfully updated.. already restarted the pc and the G1.. after that.. been trying to try again and yet the device is offline whenever i type adb devices... holy cow... im stocked in this agonizing process ... help me.. you guys out there.. please..
[G1 General] Stryder5:
I can confirm the method to enable Wifi to register still works in JFv1.5 ADP.
[G1 General] bubblesnout:
Ok, boot up your g1, and do the following. Don't worry about what's on screen, it doesn't matter.

1. Swing open your keyboard.

2. Press 'enter' key

3. type the following (it won't show up anywhere, just type it): setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1

4. Press 'enter' key again.

Your phone should now be able to be seen on your computer as the right kind of device. It should actually ask you to install the drivers, in which case you'll direct it to the usb driver folder. Now try running 'adb devices', and you should see your device there.
[G1 General] blackdeath88012:
Im having problems with my comp recognizing the phone. I entered the code, after having flashed to RC 29. But when i connect it to my comp, nothing happens.
[G1 General] Stryder5:
You need to install the USB drivers for the G1 onto your computer first.
[G1 General] blackdeath88012:
That's the problem though, I cant get them to install. The G1 shows up as the J: drive, i cant do anything with it. Going through device manager and trying to update the drivers doesnt work.

RC30 downgrade

Hey, i've finally read the whole 22 pages of this thread, and i still haven't found my answer so i would like to ask for help

I have decided that my phone is RC30 because it doesnt respond to any of the root commands such as <enter> reboot <enter> also when i connect it via USB, adb doesn't recognize the device and doesnt show it as a device hooked up to the computer.

and now i wanted to downgrade it to RC29 so i could use adb to bypass the registration process. but the problem is my SD card isn't formatting. I read that you must format with fat32 before u could transfer any files onto the SD card itself and downgrade. I also read that you must "mount" the SD otherwise the computer wont recognize the SD. but i can't mount since the phone isnt activated now. I'm stuck and i dont know what to do. When i open my computer, i see the "removable disk" which is the SD card but when i right click-> format, it says there is no disk, and to enter a disk. How can i fix this problem?? Thanks
[G1 General] jacsonmoore3:
say jf can u help me put my phone back 2 stock plz...i try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480 but it just dont work 4 me what im doing wrong
[G1 General] <blank>:
best bet is probably to buy/find a friend and get an SD card reader/adapter. or you could even use a different phone if it can mount it to your computer. all you need is clean format and the update.zip

the "removable disk" you see is sort of like an empty "slot" without the card mounted. sort of like a floppy/cd drive without a disk in it, you can still see it listed under drives, its just empty.
[G1 General] Merkolas:
question

Hey, i've been trying to bypass the no sim card screen on my g1 and i've been following your steps. But i keep getting

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\PPC programing\G1\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r1\tools>adb shell

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

1);"

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

);"

sqlite3: permission denied

$

I think JesusFreke said somewhere that if that happens you needed the Sqlite3 binary, would it be possible for someone to send me a link or put it up on this thread?

Thank you.
[G1 General] satru:
Hi to all . steps

1-need to install android-sdk-windows-1.5_r1.

2.-You must have either RC29 or earlier, or modded RC30. how to know? find the first post

3. have to install the driver of g1 in the computer.

4.after that follow the steps.

in the pc ( c:\adb shell)

Will show you (# )simbol

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

and in the phone show you the menu for connect to your wireless.

ALSO MORE EASY

would install new version jfv1.5 and only have a button for skip that

good luck

5. Try to use simple words, coz I dont understand all the technical words for android yet, I am a typical windows XP user, not much idea on Linux/android.

MANY MANY THANKS in advance, you guys are great and helpful, I know.

honestly, the easiest way I have figured out to go without having to go through the registration process is by getting the ADP version of JF's firmware. you skip the registration and register once your on WiFi or something.
