I had the same problem when i first got my phone because i bought it on craigslist (no contract). If you know anyone that has Tmobile with a data plan u can use their sim card to activate your phone. As long as you get past signing in with google you should be good. Please Root your phone in future to avoid having this problem again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] te_quiero_forever_girl:
Thanks for the reply, I thought nobody would answer this ! I knew this, but what I am asking is: How to activate it via adb or something that can be done on G1.

Thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vankirkc:
Have you tried following the steps outlined here?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=452316

What I gathered from that tutorial is that the 'unlocking' is simply a record added to a database in the phone, which you can get around if you root the phone and manually add it yourself. Haven't tried this though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] young3g:
Check out this thread if your'e still having trouble. There is a software for rooting your phone. (Relentless rooter plus).:D

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your replies ! The methods u guys offered are pretty much how to root a magic, means that I must have my phone activated first,lol

Thanks again
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KiethS:
First, I do not know how to active the G2 with a SIM, or via Wifi rather than via APN. (I'm trying to do the same thing myself at this time, and still seeking the solution).

BUT... I have found a baby step. I see that when you turn on the phone, it comes up to a starter screen which shows you the green Android, and the two selections, Emergency Dial, and, Change Language. I find that if I click on the "MENU" button, it pops up a tab at the bottom of the screen that says APN. This allows me to change the APN settings. Worthless without SOME data plan, but, it might be helpful to someone trying to use an alternate provider's APN settings (along with a SIM sled / flexible PCB (sold on several sites) behind the SIM to 'unlock' use with an alternative carrier, such as AT&T - easier to borrow an iPhone SIM with a Data plan, as there are more of them). Just a thought.

Just a note, I have already changed my phone from "Donut" to "CupCake", and my goal is to go to "Root". My current HBoot is 1.33.0006 (my phone has the 32B motherboard).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tazz9690:
i got past the welcome screen without a data plan. We have 3 mt3g in my house and we all got past the welcome screen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KiethS:
I just got past the activation screen, but without any magic. The version of firmware I have on my phone (HBOOT-1.33.0006) is likely newer than the one which allowed you to skip authentication without a data plan... I suspect this maneuver / inconvenience was added to the later versions of the firmware for exactly what it tried to require of me - to verify that I am a supposedly new customer, or an existing customer with a 3G data plan.

I was able to activate the phone the first try using my TMobile SIM which has a 5.99 TMobile Web (aka T-Zones) plan on it. That SIM worked for about 1 hour with data access, then MAGICally, the data stopped working, though the phone still worked as a phone.

I read up, and discovered this likely had something to do with the Donut / Cupcake installed on the phone by TMobile. I feel that during the one hour working time, the phone somehow auto-updated something to recognize the level of my SIM / data plan was too low.

Regardless.... I borrowed a co-worker's TMobile SIM - he had NO DATA PLAN... It allowed me to authenticate the G2 via Edge / GPRS / HSDPA. I glean from this that upon receiving an UNKNOWN, but active TMobile SIM card, the phone somehow allows that SIM access to data long enough to activate the phone. But for a SIM the phone has seen before and disabled, the disabled SIM remains disabled for data.

Next step... Root the phone, and swap out the ROM to something that doesn't lock me into requiring another activation via Gmail account (I hear that Hero may be a good ROM...). Crossing my fingers...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gKNOWS:
NEED HELP - i was reading above hoping that someone would ahve the same issue as me or well to be specific my gf.

She just got a mytouch a few days ago and got it to activate fine and all without having a data plan at all. I tried using her phone and all too and it worked perfectly although today whenever she tries to make a phone call it routes her to tmobile and she can only receive texts and not send them.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TheBigCheese0:
There is in fact no way to activate your plan without a plan. What I did was spend $60 for a single month of the plan, activate the phone, and then cancel it, and it worked fine.

However, if you can find some way to get Cyanogen on your phone, (you can't use the 1-click root application and install the cyanogen recovery image, though without having access to the phone), the newest Cyanogen has a little button to bypass the stupid activation mode, so you'll never need a plan again.

Trust me, it took me 3 months of trying to get it working without a plan.

Edit: Oh, actually if you have a friend with a plan that has a t-mobile phone with internet access (only certain ones work, though, not the sidewinder) you can steal their sim card for a few second and activate it that way.

My phone does not show up the 288 MB of RAM in the memory page (i.e. when clicking the last taskbar icon on the right). Instead 188.21 MB is reported as the maximum memory available for running programs.

Is there a reason for this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] roccotrisoliere:
there is two different things you should see, first is the storage, and that should be 288mb, (that the space the programs take up) second is the program that should be 188mb, (that the amount of work the phone is doing to run the programs). that seems right to me on my us t-mobile tp2:confused:

Uh, not quite. the TP2 has 512MB of storage and 288MB of RAM. The OS eats up a lot of RAM as you can see here;

The OS immediately claims 104.42MB of RAM before you are up and running. From the task manager you can see I'm only using about 32MB+ for services and programs, so that means around 56MB+ more is being used by OS/phone as well. Not sure what's using it, but it isn't available.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Well, I know for a fact that 32MB of the 288MB on the device is part of the baseband, and therefore unusable for programs, so that might be part of it. Saying there is 288MB of ram is somewhat misleading on HTC's part, since 32MB of that RAM is actually used for things besides programs (I believe networking/the radio uses it).

I also believe that some of that occupied RAM may be used by/part of of the graphics hardware, as I remember that some developers hex edited the Kaiser's nk.exe to change the EndRAM address to something larger, therefore increasing the amount of Ram by almost 22MB. However, this broke compatiblity with all of the experimental hardware acceleration drivers, making me think that the 22MB was memory used by graphics hardware.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
You can free up ~10MB by disabling the Dialer skin (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Security/Phone/Skin, change Enabled from "1" to "0"), and disabling TF3D frees up quite a bit as well. You can also disable HTC Volume for an extra MB or two (see here for .cab).

This thread also contains some useful suggestions.

Now i want to update to android 1.6 but OTA doesn't work (duh :mad: )

I tried to flash with an original rom i found on this forums but then my phone didn't want to boot over the first bootscreen...

I fixed the problem eventualy but now i'm back where i started my magic with the hero rom :(

Is there anyone that can provide me with the original proximus (belgium) rom ?

thx in advance

Maybe he still has the original ROM somewhere. I lost mine so i'm sorry.

I can sync with my exchange server at work when connected to the company network but every time when i sync it starts complaining about a security certificate that is not installed. No one could tell me how i install this. There is an option to add a certificate but it doesn't detect them on your phone...
