you need adb? do you have windows 7 or vista? you can use this guide..

[Guide] SDK r11, Installing adb/fastboot drivers for windows Vista/7
[G1 General] abdelhak1182:
thank you for your message

yes i instal adb the prob its when i write the command :

adb devices

the answer is :

and i can t see my device serial

so what can i do ?
[G1 General] ldrifta:
you need to have the device plugged in, make sure debugging mode is enabled in settings/applications than install the drivers... did you install sdk or you just trying to get adb?
[G1 General] ldrifta:
i just updated the adb guide hopefully you can understand it better now

help help help

hello before i ask my main question...is there a "paid" way to permanently activate the phone so that I can dont need to enter this google server and stuff if the phone ever gets reset? Or is there a way I can flash a rom that does not bring the activation screen? I have a way to make a gold card so i can flash any rom. Here in zambia, its not easy to get wifi, and my simcard doesnt show the 3g or gprs symbol so am sure it cant connect to the internet to activate..i tried manually adding the apn settings to no avail...

And now the main question, i managed to downgrade my device, the reboot command works, but the adb one does not work...in device manager, i get 3 entries for the phone i.e adb something device, composite device and usb mass storage device...but the adb.exe says no device found, i downlaoded lateste sdk, java and google driver package.....

So after i enter the "enter setprop..............enter" command, is my computer suppose to detect a new device or it just stays quiet? Mine doesnt detect anything. Am keepng device manager window active while i enter the command....pls clear this for me, i should type "enter setprop space service.persist.adb.enable space 1 enter" right? And is there a way i can enter adb mode by putting some files on SD card which do the commands automatically? Coz iv been trying to type the command a hundred times.

Someone pls help pls pls
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
You need to type

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

Replace the <...>by the appropriate key presses on your keyboard

edit1: This command needs to be typed on your phone's keyboard

Edit2: Your phone will be detected only *after* successfully enabling adb and no, there is no chance to flash anything, because for that your phone needs to be rooted.
[G1 General] kachman:
you mean i dont have to type space between enable and 1?

And if i was able to downgrade from r30 firmware using SD card, does that mean i somehow did a root without knowing it?
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
I edited my last post, because the special characters were removed by the system ...
[G1 General] kachman:
hi, i managed to get the device detected by "adb devices" once, i got in wifi settings but the wifi connection wasnt detected, so i did factory erase just to make sure everything was factory....

but after this, i cant get the device to get detected in adb terminal what do i need to do now?

i have rebooted the phone several times and also restarted my pc but nothing doing
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
When you do a factory reset the adb-entry is removed, so you need to do it again ...
[G1 General] kachman:
funny thing is, i did not do any adb entry , i just connected the phone this morning, after hours of trying yesterday, and the phone got detected by adb...i can confirm that i didnt enter anything this morning, i just switched phone on and connected it...now am back to square 1 :( is there any way i can flash a custom rom with sd card that will not ask for activation screen? i have a box which can make gold card

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

if i want to change it from adb mode to usb mass storage mode, what commands do i enter? because now the phone does not show the mass storage entry in device manager.
[G1 General] kachman:
I already fixed....the tricky part was that i had to restart the phone after entering the APN settings.

so after entering the settings and restarting, it picked up 3g internet and I was able to create a google and do the rest, and this was the only way i able to get adb mode again, after activating the phone and activating adb from the settings menu.

thnx for all the help
[G1 General] brusell:
Hi guys,

I'm just facing problem with registering phone to google.

A followed this procedure:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098899

I stuck just on the first step on point:

2. Reboot via recovery (home+power) now if you are unrooted you should get a screen with a triangle and a ! at this point press and hold "alt+L" untill words pop up on screen, now press "alt+W" to wipe phone data, than press "alt+S" to apply update. now reboot phone and sign in to google.

I have data connection, but it doesn't work, so I tried to follow procedure described here. Problem is that my PC doesn't see phone (error message "error: device not found"), so U'm unable to switch-on wi-fi.

I tried which version I have (via command <enter>reboot<enter>) but it doesn't work so probably current version is RC30. Please can anybody advice me, how to enable USB debug on this version??

Thanks in advance
[G1 General] teknomanelvis:
can someone give me a hand trying to get this to work, i tried to get the settings menu to open up. after typing it in adb my g1 screen brightens up but doesnt go to the menu. i cant seem to get root either. i am willing to let some remote desktop to make it easier. i cant get the remote desktop to work on my laptop but there is a great alternative, its called teamviewer its free. if you are willing to help please message me

I forgot that my T-Mobile Monthly 4G plan was expired, and flashed a new ROM.

Well, this thread saved my bacon.

Thank you. Worked flawlessly.
[G1 General] j.weber:
Tried it all, no success. HELP

I have a G1 and it does not recognize SIM card. I was able to enable adb access, but problem starts there:

- I cant connect adb shell with root access (I type su after adb shell and I get permission denied)

- I also can't bring up the Settings pane (typing "am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings" while on adb shell. I do it once, it does nothing, and second time it calls: "Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front")

The screen continues to display the No SIM Card message and I can't get past it. HELP PLEASE. Thanks in advance

P.S: I am quite a noob, but I know well how to use adb and stuff, and I know I'm on RC29 because phone reboots when I type the command.

Also I couldn't find the modded RC30 anywhere, but I managed to get the sqlite3 binary (although I can't use because I can't get to that point lol)

Thank you guys

EDIT: Oddly enough, I repeated all the steps with an SD Card inserted and it worked. I got past the No SIM Card screen and could register. You guys rock
[G1 General] emd2009:

[G1 General] niekunkun:
On the registration interface, from the top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left. Click on the 4 corners in order to skip the activation registration!:)
[G1 General] Aguamarina:
I don't remember this working on RC29.
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
You most likely need to enable adb. Unplug the phone, and then type the following on the phone keyboard. It helps if you reboot the phone, and do this immediately after it starts back up, i.e. once you see the registration screen

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

Now plug in the phone, and it will probably ask you to install the drivers.
[G1 General] airsonic:
Kinda tragic but I'm stuck here;

When you start up the phone without a sim card, it goes into a locked screen that says "no sim card found", and you can't even get into the registration app. So the first step is to get around that screen. You have to connect to your phone with adb shell and get root access, and then type the following command:

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

I already have the adb shell and obtained root access + installed appropriate USB drivers and obtained the SDK, but I have no idea where to go from there.

I'm currently using no sim card.
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
You need to get the sqlite3 binary onto your phone. I can send you a copy if you need, just give me a PM. You'll need to use adb push to push it to /data/local/sqlite3, and then chmod 755 it. then cd /data/local and run that sqlite3 command that you quoted, reboot, and the locked message should be gone.
[G1 General] airsonic:
Well I can see that the sim card without data plan is much easier and I have a spare sim card so I can try that. But do I start off directly from step two?

EDIT: I must be doing something wrong.

I plugged my phone to my computer, waited for the 'touch to begin' screen then entered setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1 and hit enter. Then I moved to my computer and in the Command Line entered; C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2\tools\adb.exe and a whole slew of commands came down. I tried simply entering adb devices and a few other commands and no dice. I added the tools folder to my PATH's and still no luck. All I keep getting is; adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, etc.

EDIT 2: Fixed. With non-data SIM. I love you guys.
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
Ahhh. We lub you too :)
[G1 General] joeymombini:
how do i enable adb typed this in then connect to computer and nothing happens. it stil says device not found
[G1 General] diabolical28:
you type this at the root command prompt on your device it will let your pc find it.

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

note. not to complain this was another thing missing from rifts wiki... please inform him to have it updated
[G1 General] joeymombini:
k got that working and now when i type the other code on ADB shell it says ma not recognized
[G1 General] diabolical28:

How did you get this bypass method to work????

I am lost on what you mean here. I have tried this entire process several times and all I get is the setup screen which i cannot get past. Is there someone who can help me better understand how to bypass the setup and go straight to the (so service) box or something :(
[G1 General] mrnagrom:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES ('device_provisioned', 1);

doesn't work... just kicks up errors on my rc30 adp1 phone.

ended up using

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/settings/settings.db INSERT INTO system VALUES (54, 'device_provisioned', 1);

and rebooting.. then all was functional.

There is a thread somewhere in the forums about how to register it with wifi i believe as well ill look if i find it ill post the link. But as people have said before if you have a friend with tmo just borrow his sim for a few if not i also posted another members links that he used to change the apn's settings for att's gprs/edge networks. ill post that link again anything else you would better need to ask a person using att.

I tried changing the setting and it just changes them back to t-mobile settings when I restart the phone.

I used a friends t-mobile sim card already but they don't have the data package on their plan so it rejects my gmail account. Any help for this??:confused:
[G1 General] :
Activating dev (unlocked) with T-Mobile SIM without G1 data plan

[This is not a dup post; this is a step-by-step for people in the USA with newer RC30 dev phones who have T-Mobile SIM and a Google acct, but do not have the special $25/mo G1 data plan.]

First, dev phones are now RC30; I got mine yesterday and it's RC30. This is FINE, you do NOT need to downgrade to RC29 or mod anything!!! You can still activate the dev phone without a G1 data plan from T-Mobile, as long as you have any old T-Mobile SIM. Here is how.

Just install the SDK on your machine. Turn on the phone, wait for it to get to the main screen. Plug the phone into the PC's USB. If you're on Windows, it'll ask you for a driver location: it's in $SDKDIR/usb_driver. (If you already canceled out of this before, just go into Device Manager and uninstall the unrecognized Android Phone device and rescan for new hardware, then you can install the driver properly.)

Now open cmd window, cd $SDKDIR\tools (use your actual SDK dir here, or add it to your Windows path) and type 'adb devices'. You should see your phone listed! So type 'adb shell' to get a shell on the phone. (This is cool btw, you can do all the usual linux commands like ls -l, pwd, chmod, ps, etc.)

Now in the adb shell type

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

then wait a few moments and go over to the phone. You'll see the Settings screen. Go into Network Settings and set up your wifi. Back out, and now you can register with Google! You do NOT have to fiddle with any of the APN settings.

At this point your phone is fully functional: you can make & receive calls (if the SIM card is active), and wifi browsing/email should be working. HOWEVER, as soon as you try to make a data connection with T-Mobile (i.e. turn off wifi, enable 3g, and start the browser), T-Mobile's data filter will detect that you have a G1 (how's it do this?!) and the browser will redirect you to a special "you need the G1 data plan" page (its html title is "upsell", hmm). So to make a long story short, you are going to want the G1 data plan to do any data work or 3G.

Hope that helps someone!
[G1 General] JesusFreke:
Wait.. dev phones have RC30 now? What does the build fingerprint say? Or better yet, can you get a screen shot of the "about phone" screen in settings?

But anyway, good catch with the data plan thing. :)

Unmodded RC30?

I just got my phone on ebay - arrived in the post today. I live and work in South Africa, so although I have an unregistered Tmobile sim in the box, I have no access to their services whatsoever...

I can't seem to enter any shell commands (<enter>reboot<enter> does nothing)... I assume this means I'm on the dreaded official RC30. I have also tried <enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter> but I can't get my Windoze system to recognize the unit and ask for drivers...

Am I totally snookered? Will I ever be able to install the modded RC30? Any help will be very much appreciated!

Help a damsel in distress

Thanks for the help... I hope I haven't messed up... I just tried to downgrade to RC29 according to these instructions:

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Root_For_RC30

I downloaded the dreaming.nbh,

formatted my SD card to Fat32,

copied the file to the root of the card,

put the card in the phone,

Powered up with camera+power to boot loader mode

It said press power to start the update which I did,

it then appeared to get to 100% but said `Update terminate' - 'Update fail'. Now when I reboot, I go straight to boot loader mode... i have tried multiple times and still end up in boot loader mode...

What could I be doing wrong?

My boot loader screen says:

DREA100 PVT 32B RUUNBH

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-1.22.12.29

As a side issue - how does one exit boot loader mode to power off? Right now I'm having to take the battery out every time...

[G1 General] jashsu:
This post is confusing. Do you need to register w/o data plan or do you need to install modified Android? Or both? It's hard to help you when you aren't being very clear what you want to do. Anyway you should start by registering over wifi.

[G1 General] stonefurry:
Yeah that happened to me too

Yeah that Crap happened to me too.

Just go to t-mobile.com and add the G1 data plan.

Then do your thing.

Then the following day just call t-mobile up and make up an excuse about how you didn't not like the G1 data plan.

If they tell you some bull about how you need the plan to run the G1. Just tell them that you are going back to your old phone or just tell them what you want to tell them. It worked for me and the T-mobile Reps are alright when it comes to thing like this

Just for you info you don't need any data plan. I have been running my G1 without one since I received it. I have no freakin idea why i hear from people from message boared to boared about how you need a G1 data plan. Any way the only time I add the plan is when I format the phone in which I was stuck with the OTA RC30 and now I got the modded RC30 Thanks to these awesome hackers or developer's.

I hope this helps. Peace

- connect the phone via usb cord

- install the driver form the sdk_r2 release

- open the adb shell

- enter the "su" command to get super user priveldges

- copy and paste the sqlite command

- enter the "reboot" command to restart the phone into the touch the android screen

- copy and paste the settings activity command

- setup wifi on the device

- go back to the "Touch the android" screen and follow the steps to register the phone

thanks a lot for posting the original directions, now I have a phone to develop with that will also work reasonably well connected to my CDMA Titan via wifi and WMWifiRouter
