[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mr.tenuki:
I've tested it on a stock G1 running cupcake, and it did not work. It does work on myTouch & Droid.

Would appreciate it if someone with a G1 running donut will try it as well to rule out the build issue (1.5 vs 1.6).

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Gthirty7s:
i tried it for like 30 mintues no luck :(

do i have to have a tmobile sim card inside with a g3 plan?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] polaris47:
would an at&t sim card work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Gthirty7s:
unless the phone is unlocked
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] polaris47:
my phone is unlocked. however, i had to wipe the memory due to previous problems. the problem is that i do not have a data plan and i could log in if i could turn on and connect to wifi. that is why i want to bypass the "touch the android" screen.

does not work with a stock mytouch on cupcake. tried many times.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mr.tenuki:
As I mentioned in the 1st post, this is currently not working on the G1 with cupcake, and probably not working also on the G1 with donut.

Maybe in the G1 you need to do it using the keyboard, I will try to get the answer for that as well.

If I was to get this to work on a Mytouch could I then go into the settings and enable Wifi so that I could activate the phone?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aaronismename:
ok so noob here....

iv tried this method for almost an hour on my mytouch 3g and it hasnt worked could it be because my account was shut off cause i forgot to pay it this month or does it even have to have a active sims card to bypass the google log in screen..(i had to reset it because i was messing around and on purpose got my pattern lock wrong and the google mail thing didnt work at all cause i forgot the account username and password i used to register it)

any help would be nice.....or am i s.o.l

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] that1mienboi:
im doing everything i can to it.. alternate ways etc but its not working for mytouch 3g can anyone help?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] heyted:
Yes, you can use an at&t sim card with a data plan to activate the phone.

The four-tap method did not work with my MyTouch 3G, and I do not have any friends with a t-mobile data plan sim. Instead I borrowed an at&t sim card, called t-mobile and obtained a free unlock code, activated the phone with the borrowed sim, and then put my non-data plan sim back in the phone. I have had no problems with the phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] k0nzious:
CONFIRMED THIS WORKS ON A G1.

1. Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Right, Bottom Left.

2. Tap the Android.

3. I ended up on Home Screen.

This was done on a ROOTED G1, running Super D 1.93.

Tell me if this works.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hexto:
This isn't working. I'm using a White MyTouch 3g from T-Mobile that was just reset to factory settings. Any thoughts?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MisterEdF:
I just tried this on a TMOBILE MyTouch 3G I just purchased to use on AT&T and it didn't work. It was already unlocked by the seller then he did a full reset which forced the need to re-activate with the GMAIL account.

I put in the AT&T SIM and since the phone DEFAULTED to a TMOBILE APN I couldn't get to GMAIL to activate because the TMO APN didn't work on AT&T. I can't understand how the guy in your link could have possibly activated on AT&T with a T-MOBILE APN.

The ONLY thing I was able to do was go to a TMOBILE store (I have no friends or family on TMO with Data) and find a nice salesguy who put his SIM in my phone so I could activate it.

I am afraid to try and ROOT this phone because I'll be back to the same problem again because I assume ROOTing resets everything to default. I have tried ALL the other tricks as well and nothing worked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] riiliimedia:
Did this method still work? I have a mytouch 3g and can't get pass the activation screen. I've been trying for some time wrong. Maybe I'm doing something wrong... how did u get it finally?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MisterEdF:
I don't believe so. Someone said when you get to the GMAIL registration screen if you hit the MENU button it will take you to the APN setup.

Can you please try that and let me know if it does?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] medmansri:
Doesn't work on mytouch 1.2. wish it was this easy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] heyted:
This is normal and expected.

It is normal and expected for it to default to the Tmobile settings. You must change the settings to the AT&T settings to use the AT&T data service. The guy, as well as when I did it, was using the AT&T settings. AT&T bought Cingular, so the Cingular settings are correct for AT&T -- at least in some areas. I do not know enough about APN settings to know if they differ per phone or location for AT&T. Also, I am not 100% percent sure the settings in the link I provided were what I used since I did it some time ago, but I am about 99% sure because I bookmarked it since I might need to do it again. I am sure I was able to the google activation using an AT&T sim card.

You had better luck than I did. I went to two Tmobile stores in Palm Beach County, Florida before using an AT&T sim card. Both of the stores were unable to let me borrow a sim card for a few minutes to do the google activation. The excuse was the same at both stores: "We do not have an activated sim card available."

I would also like to find a way to do the google activation without needing a data plan or borrowing a sim card since I may need to do it again and the AT&T sim may not be available to me. I hope someone finds a way that works with all Mytouch 3Gs. Does anyone know why the tapping on the android screen method works on some Mytouch 3Gs and not others?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] heyted:
Yes. I was able to access the APN settings without having to do the google activation with my Mytouch 3G.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MisterEdF:
Therein lies the problem (which I have described multiple times). If the phone defaults to TMO APN (which it does upon a wipe) and all I have is an AT&T SIM I can't register the phone. You can't change the phone APN without accessing the menu which you can't do because you can't login to Google because the APN is TMO!!!!

Once again, wiping the phone defaults it back to TMO so your SOL when you install a new ROM because you can't get to GMAIL because the APN is set back to TMO. The APN settings posted here are still correct.

That's what I was told as well. However one of the sales guys took HIS OWN PHONE and pulled the SIM. Aside from that, there were 2 demo phones with data on them. Check the demo wall, usually there is at least ONE phone setup with data.

This is my phones information from the Fastboot screen:

Hi.

I recently received a locked TMobile mytouch 3g phone, bought my unlock code and I thought I was in the clear until I saw the gmail login prompt. I tried to bypass it by tapping the four corners of the phone but that doesn't work. What's my next option please??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MisterEdF:
I had the same problem. :) You can't bypass it so you have to register for a gmail account. The problem is, the APN is set for T-Mobile by default and you have to change it to your carrier. You didn't state what your carrier was.

The "catch 22" is you can't get into the phone unless you have a data connection. The way to setup that data connection is when you are at the GMAIL register screen hit the MENU button on the phone. It will bring up the "APN" screen. Once you put in the APN info for your carrier you can proceed to either register or use an existing GMAIL account.

If you have no data plan you're SOL because you can't setup WIFI because you can't get to the menu because you don't have data!! Even if you try rooting it you still can't do it until you setup the initial gmail. Once you root the problem goes away.

If it's AT&T like mne was this is the APN info (if it's any other carrier you'll have to look for it):

Name: AT&T

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: leave blank

Port: leave blank

Username:WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password:CINGULAR1

Server: leave blank

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS Port: 80

MCC:310

MNC:410

APN Type: leave blank
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sheemil:
my carrier is Digicel St. Lucia
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MisterEdF:
You would have to try and find the APN information for your provider. Calling them would be a good start and of course you would need to have a data plan.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sheemil:

thanks much. i finally got through.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kiewirevo:

But. I pressed the 4 corners then the Android in the center of the screen, the whole screen went white ( i think) then the homescreen faded in. YMMV.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lilc420:
Ok.. I know this topic is old.. but since I am searching for the answer to this and finally figured it out on my phone. I thought I would reply in case others are still looking as well.

I am not honestly sure which corner to start in.. all I know is i tried both ways.. starting at top left and starting at top right and continuing clockwise. I did this over and over and it did not seem to do anything.. the screen stayed the same and the Emergency Dial and Choose Language buttons never changed so I "assumed" it did not work.

However the change is made (at least on my phone - Huawei Prism) on the next screen. At first when I clicked the Green Android logo it was forcing me to setup my WiFi and Google account and so forth and then on the Google account page it was only giving me the options to "Sign In" or "Create Account" and I could not go any further.

However after doing the 4 Corner Tapping I am now greeted with a new option to "Skip" the Google activation and move on.

Good Luck.
