[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InnovatedMind:
So my friend is giving me her old G1 since she got a new phone and it is basically sitting in her glove compartment. She has T-Mobile I have AT&T.

I am on a family plan with no data plan and my parents went so far as to put a data block on all the phones. I read a few sites and I heard from one that once the phone is unlocked it is a one time deal, if this is true this may be good for me.

A) Since my friends phone is obviously unlocked since it was hers and she used it, if I put my ATT sim card in (she's not gonna factory reset), will it work? What would I have to do

Since I dont have a data plan and my parents blocked all data (internet, not messaging) but I have Wifi, can i tell my friend before she mails me her G1 to enable wifi?

B) Since I don't plan on getting wifi anytime soon, this would be good no? Ofcourse if question A is correct that I wouldn't have to unlock it and activate it.

Ba) If question A is fail, could i still activate the phone via my wifi on the gmail account set up?

So those are all the questions I have, I would like to know what I should do when i get the phone in anycase because I would really like to use it, and i plan to use the wifi feature instead of paying for a data plan since my town has a lot of free wifi hotspots!

Let me know!!!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpartusTana:
If the phone is up to date, it should allow you to skip the account sync process (which is one reason data is required). That way it should allow you to get into the phone and activate wifi yourself.

Of course it wouldn't hurt to have you friend do it for you. Convenience and all.

you meant to say "Since I don't plan on getting data anytime soon..." right?

If she doesn't factory reset, you can add multiple accounts on a single G1 through settings. So give that a go too. The main thing is, that before donut, it was mandatory to sync over data service to activate your phone on a fresh G1. So you should be ok.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XBrav:
Hey Innovated,

Shouldn't have any issues doing that. If you pop in the SIM card, the phone will first say Emergency Calls Only. You have to go into Settings, Wireless Controls, Mobile Networks, then Network Operators and select AT&T.

If it pops up with an unlock code screen, then you need to purchase an unlock code. eBay is usually good, around $5.

After that, everything will work. As you don't have a data plan, and have a data block in place, there's no need to enter new APN details.

As for wifi, you can turn it on or off as you want. To turn on and off, click Settings, Wireless Controls, Enable WiFi.

Hope this helps!

Wow thank you so much for both of your fast replies! This will help so much and hopefully it is as easy as you say! I can't wait to have this cool phone!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InnovatedMind:
My friend wants to know if it can still work if she can factory reset it, and add my gmail account to activate it before mailing me the phone... Would that still be the same as what she 'WAS' going to do in my first description?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpartusTana:
As far as I know that can work. What the sync does is add your contacts, and allow the phone to sync with your google account. With 1.6 and higher, android allows you to skip the step, but it should be possible if she does it for you.

Worst comes to worse, you factory reset and hit "skip" . So yup. hope that helps.

[Networking] kidcash:
I have a generic wm6.1 device, not branded.

I was using MSN Messenger on my Device via my wifi connection.

So while looking at my list of contacts i got a notice up the top saying that "the wireless network is not avaliable right now", giving me a hint that the wifi is dropping out.

But I am close to the router and signal is 4 or 5 bars. So I'm wondering whether it's a bug with MSN Messenger or whether my wifi drops out.

The Message comes up every minute or so and stays for 3 minutes.

I decided to goto my wifi manager where it says my access point name and the status which is "CONNECTED", so i assumed if it always drops out it would sometimes say "CONNECTING".

So i sat and stared at the wifi manager status for 15 minutes and always was on "CONNECTED", however when on msn the notice comes up about losing signal to the wireless network" every now and then.

Any Suggestions?
[Networking] souljaboy:
this bug is pretty common amongst winmo users from what ive seen ... im not a heavy user of msn mobile so i dont know the fix
[Networking] kidcash:
Thanks Souljaboy.

Is this Bug common with Windows Mobile itself, or just MSN Messenger. As in does the problem happen if you used any program, or just with MSN Messenger?

Thanks,

My red power/call end/sleep button stopped working two days ago. It won't respond in any way and it just happened in the middle of the day during normal usage. I tried a full wipe and that didn't fix it. I'm past my warranty with HTC so I cannot send it back. Any suggestions for a hardware fix or for formatting another key to function in the way the power button used to?

EDIT: I am going to try and remap my keys to make the phone usable now, but I was hoping to sell the phone so any suggestions on how to fix it would be great.

Can someone please help me, or point me in the right direction on how to setup and run simple commands through adb on a MAC? Yes, I've used the search, and yes I've searched all over the internet but I still cannot figure it out. Sorry for my stupidity :( lol

But any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Perhaps you could say a few words about what you have tried already and where you are stopped.

I'm assuming you've downloaded and installed the Mac version of the SDK, yes?

On the phone, you need to turn on Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging (and may as well check "Stay awake", too).

I don't have a OS/X box, but on Linux you need to perform the *first* adb command as root... the first time an "adb" command is run (after a reboot) it starts up an adb-server process, and that needs to be priviliged enough to write to USB. (After that, you can run adb commands as any user, since those commands "talk" to the adb-server on your Mac, which in turn talks to the phone over the USB cable.)

[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
Go to developer. android. com/sdk/index.html (take out the spaces - I still can't post links for some reason) and download the Android SDK for Mac. That same page also includes directions on how to get started with installation. You'll be using the Terminal within Mac OS X for ADB commands, so I would recommend getting comfortable with Terminal before jumping into the SDK. Unfortunately, you'll have to look this up because I couldn't even begin to explain everything, nor do I have the time. Hope the rest helps, though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Los-O:
Yes I've downloaded and installed the sdk, turned debugging on and now im trying to flash the recovery image onto my phone and that is where im lost at because I don't know exactly what to do
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Note that what you are asking (now) is completely different than what you asked about in your OP - in fact, OS X is immaterial, really, in light of what you just indicated. That suggests that you are in a hurry... if that is the case, I recommend you spend a couple days reading before you rush off and do something you might regret. It is evident from your response that you really have not been reading the threads here with much diligence.

If you are trying to flash a recovery image, that implies that your phone is already rooted; either that what you are trying it isn't going to work - you have to have a rooted phone to begin with before you flash a custom recovery image. At the moment, you can root your Eris only if it has a 1.5 (1.16.605.1 or 1.17.605.1) official Verizon/HTC release on it. This has been described if not a hundred times in the threads here, at least tens of times - you need to read some more.

Nevertheless, if you want to rush into something, here is a step by step set of instructions which was current a couple of days ago. I won't vouch for it being 100% up to date with the latest and greatest images (either ROM or recovery), but it completely describes the process involved.

Stock 1.5 --> Root (2.1) install --> Custom Recovery install -> recovery to custom ROM 0.3. That's what is working at the moment.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Los-O:
I've already rooted my phone
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Well, then you should be on your way; the instructions for what you are trying to attempt are in that link I provided for you in answer to your question (which you purposely redacted when you quoted my post).

I understand that it's your first post, and I should give some leeway for that reason alone, especially since you might have gotten root without ever having used "adb" or "fastboot". (PB00IMG.ZIP method).

On the other hand, I think you can see my point. Please try to avoid wasting other people's time by providing them useful & relevant details of your situation so they can give you good answers. And reading some of the links adjacent to your own post which actually give exactly the details you are asking for might be a good idea, too.

You wanted to know "What are the directions to DisneyWorld?", but instead asked "How do I put gas in my car?" - when you already knew exactly how to do that. But don't take my word for it - reread your first post for yourself - it actually says nothing about what you are trying to do.

I don't know, maybe I got this all wrong, and you still don't have your phone talking to your OS X machine correctly with adb, and that's the source of the trouble. But then, there would be no way to know one way or another - you haven't really said.

Download the android sdk and run this automator script.
[Droid Eris Android Development] eodgooch:
Once you have the android sdk unzipped, add the full path to the android tools directory to your path.

I just added the path to my .bash_profile.

For me it looks like this:

export ANDROID-SDK=/Users/Aaron/android-sdk/

export PATH=$ANDROID-SDK/tools:PATH

Then I save and close my bash_profile and run the command, from the terminal:

source .bash_profile

This reloads the bash_profile into the shell. Then cd to your android tools directory. Once you get into the tools directory type the command adb. If everything is correct you should see a help menu spit out to the console.

If you need help with your bash_profile a simple google search will help you out.

Did you need to run the first "adb" command as root with "sudo" ? Let me know - and also mention the version of OS X that you are using; maybe it will help other Mac users if they read this thread. (I got the impression from reading a little bit that different releases of OS X might handle "sudo" a little differently - or have different device permissions for regular users.)

Also, in reviewing this thread, I have to say ... I acted like an a$$. And I should know better, I did IT for a while. If there is one thing I learned about dealing with people and computers, it's that it is extremely easy for a misunderstanding to occur, and especially if you are helping someone out over the phone or via mail/forum. Please accept my apologies.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Los-O:
also now im able to install the recovery (thanks to you) but when i try and push the recovery and flash images i get

"cannot stat 'recovery.img': No such file or directory" same for the flash image

but i put the files in the tools folder like the guide said to do...?

also im on OS X 10.6.2, but no i didnt have to use the "sudo" thing you were talking about, the "adb devices" command worked the first try. and dont worry about it, i understand where you were coming from. but apology accepted, though
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
That sounds like you are referring to the files by name, but they are not in the current directory where you are running the fastboot command.

The "pwd" command (Print Working Directory) tells you what your current directory is.

The "cd folder-path" command (Change Directory) allows you to change the Terminal/Shell's idea of where the "current directory" is.

The idea behind the PATH variable is that it is a searchable list (separated by ':' colon characters), so that you can be in a given directory with the files you want to manipulate, but the commands you use are in other directories. When you start a command by typing its' name, the Terminal/Shell app walks through that list of folders in PATH (from left to right in order), looking for that program by name.

That means that if you want to run a program ("proggie") that opens a file ("myfile") that is in the current directory you might type the command.

$ proggie myfile

(or $ proggie ./myfile )

... and as long as "proggie" was in one of the folders listed in your PATH, it would run, and find your file "myfile".

But, there is no requirement that you be in the same directory with your files, or the program that you are running (for instance "fastboot"). In those cases, you need to explicitly specify the complete path to your files or programs, so they can be found. For instance:

$ proggie /users/los-o/mystuff/project3/myfile

or, if "proggie" was not in a folder in your PATH, but you knew that it was located in /opt/tools, you could type the command

$ /opt/tools/proggie myfile

If your current directory contains the file "myfile", or

$ /opt/tools/proggie /users/los-o/mystuff/project/myfile.

Same deal with fastboot - you give it the name of the recovery file as the 3rd argument on the "command line"

$ fastboot flash recovery name-of-my-copy-of-the-recovery-file.img

[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I do everything on a Mac, so I would be the guy to ask. :) How far did you get? Have you unzipped the sdk to a folder?

Basically the difference between mac and others is that when others do a command like adb, we have to do ./adb This is true for other commands too. It's easy once you get used to it.

I am getting hung up on the adb devices command. It goes through, but returns a blank line instead of my device. I have tried this a couple of different times after flashing different roms, none of them stock. Could that be the problem?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
You need to enable USB Debugging

Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging

in The ROM. (Some ROMs have it enabled by default, and some do not.)

Also, it is enabled by default when Amon_ RA is booted.

If you don't see a device listed, then it is time to suspect a hardware problem - USB hub on the mac, cable, or USB port on the phone.

[Droid Eris Android Development] kmao2004:
I have USB debugging on. I will try a different cable and port.

[Droid Eris Android Development] mrfitz98:
Add the sdk folder to your path and you can type the commands from anywhere. Makes it a little easier to keep things organized.

* Open the Terminal application. It can be found in the Utilities directory inside the Applications directory.

* Type the following: echo 'export PATH=YOURPATHHERE:$PATH' >> ~/.profile, replacing "YOURPATHHERE" with the name of the directory you want to add. Make certain that you use ">>" instead of one ">".

* Hit Enter.

* Close the Terminal and reopen. Your new Terminal session should now use the new PATH.

I came here through google. With the latest android tools, the instructions given by bftb0 are out of date.

After downloading the android tools from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and unzipping it to a directory, you need to run tools/android program and install at least one version (say 2.2 API). After installation, adb is available in platform tools folder.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
The same change seems to have occurred on the PC (Windows) version of the SDK, too - "adb" has been moved from the "tools" subfolder to the "platform-tools" subfolder. Even if you had a prior (working) SDK installed, the download of the new API support level from within Eclipse actually *deletes* the prior version of adb in the "tools" folder. (Which breaks anybody's prior PATH setups.)

For fresh installs, I'm not sure whether you need to "run android" for this to happen, or if it just ends up in the platform-tools folder as soon as you unzip the SDK - I don't have a Mac.

cheers
[Droid Eris Android Development] ksporry:
This is actually a good write-up, unfortunately it doesn't help my situation. I have an iMXM515 A8 slate running Android 2.2.

I need to install Google market on there and was give some instructions and files. Now these are all oriented on Windhose use, and I use Apple. Ok, not a big problem as I have the sdk kit, however, I get exactly the situation 9)C, which does not have an answer. my slate is set to USB debugging and is USB connected to my Mac.

I HAVE to have google Market on this unit. I tried using Titanium Backup (side loaded) but get the message that it isn't working because it is probably not rooted. Well, I don't know, I know nothing about software stuff. But I do know how to follow clear instructions. So now I want to figure out how I can access this slate and install the Market. Please help, pretty please?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Saw your post, but still don't have an answer. In fact, now that I think of it, I am not precisely sure how "adb" properly identifies a given Android device on the USB bus, as the USB Vendor and Device IDs will vary from device to device. (And yet it seems to work with a variety of devices - maybe not every one of them).

If your version of Mac OS/X has a command-line utility named "lsusb" and you are able to run it under the Terminal app (you may need to be the root user, I'm not sure), at least you will be able to enumerate everything on the USB bus before and after plugging in the panel - to get its Vendor/Device ID identifiers. That won't help fix the problem with the Mac version of fastboot, but at least it will show you whether or not the behavior of the panel is indeed changing when you toggle USB debugging on/off.

If the "files you were given" were .apk files, is there a way you could install them with a file manager application? (On the Eris, you can do this with the ES File Manager app, so long as you have Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources toggled on... although YMMV for system applications. ) You are also going to need google credentials to access the market - your tablet supports Gmail etc but does not give you a Market?

bftb0

PS Saw this review of your device. Good Luck
[Droid Eris Android Development] ksporry:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I actually managed to get it working (though without a logical approach). Basically I ran the android application in the sdk, then ran adb I think, then started executing adb commands, which actually seemed to work. I managed to push the files to my device successfully (I think), except I cannot login to start using the Market. when signing in it states "can't connect to server" And yes, my wireless is working, internet from the same unit works, etc. Maybe a dodgy googleframework packager?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Dodgy might be an understatement considering that review article says it comes with a "Chinese Market Replacement app".

I don't suppose the adb prompt you get from "adb shell" is a root prompt, is it?

Seems like the framework should have minimal dependence on hardware because it's java code, although I suppose there might be hardcoded things like display resolutions in there; for instance if you had the idea to *cough* get a replacement framework from somewhere else. (That's idle speculation on my part - never have tried such a thing).

If it is Android 2.2 and still has that "chmod 777 command" in init.rc, you might be able to use a variant of the (Eris) "wag3slav3" / (Evo) "unReVoked" rooting method to install a root toolkit (even though you don't have a custom recovery).

Just speculating out loud - hope you don't mind.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ksporry:
Hmm, I wouldn't know if it is a root prompt or not.

Actually, the farmework was pushed on there as part of the installation, together with some other apk's like AcciuntAndSyncSettings, Contacts, and ContactsProvider. A bit at a loss. I'm intending to flash it with a new ROM that is on slatedroid,but haven't found instructions how to do that on Mac yet (the install instructions tell you to buy AndroidTouchPC's Touch 8 Updater Tool, which can't be bought/downloaded with Mac and doesn't run on Macs anyway). Until then, well, who knows. I'm a bit weary about installing CWM 0.8, though that probably would allow me to install it.
