I bought a G1 from someone off of ebay and he said it doesnt recieve signal. I figured I could buy and maybe fix it. The radio is not updated but they wiped the phone before I got it, so now im stuck at the google account sign in with no service. Does anyone have any ideas or do I just need to call up HTC and send the phone in for repairs?
thanks and God bless
try to go through the process of rooting the phone... That may fix some of the issues
but how can I root the phone if i cant get pass the Google account screen? Ive done the bootloader already...nothing happened....i flashed to crb43...that worked but it still didnt solve anything....ive tried to update the radio to the newest but it says "no signature (5 files)"...verification failed. Is there anything that I can do?

what do you mean can't get passed the account screen?
like you try to sign in and you can't?
If you still can't sign in, try using a different ROM like TheDude's and try bypassing the sign in. Maybe you can get it to the main screen and try running some debugging tools and such.

yea cause i dont have any service cause the phone doesnt get any signal....like thats how i bought it..something is wrong with the radio (i guess)...like i just want to use a different ROM that you can skip the account process on so i can ROOT then try to upgrade the radio to see if it will work....but dont you have to have ROOT in order to flash stuff?

well if you are trying to create an account from your phone with no signal, just to sign up on a computer.
the screen does give you an option to skip the sign in process.
what build are you on?
go HERE to get help on bypassing the activation.

Only for ADP1
op: Look in the dev forum helpful threads sticky for a link to activating w/o google account. Also, as a previous poster said, you might want to just do the whole rooting process. Downgrading to RC29 will revert both the radio and android build.
The official OTA CRB43 includes the new radio. If that's what you flashed and it didn't help, flashing the radio isn't going to cure your issue.
Haykuro's IonR2 also gives you the option to skip sign in.
hmmm so i guess i just need to call up htc CC and make up some bogus story saying that cupcake fried my radio....cause i cant even get signal...
i actually had 2 bars last night... so i was able to sign inn and use wifi...but it just randomly cut off....and i wiped my phone....without thinking
so i guess ill give htc a call
Lost signal now at RC29 w/old radio
But I cannot figure out how to proceed. I have been rooting modding for a year now and suddenly lost my signal while the phone was just sitting on my desk. loaded recovery still didn't work, went back to RC29 stupidly and now cannot get newer ADP build loaded because I cannot login past account screen and my Adb isn't working because my phone is not recognized via USB. Is there a secret to that pre-account login? Thanks for any help I have a $400 paperwight right now.
You should be able to enable wifi and login to google. I just went through this process since I don't have any service on the sim i'm using in the g1
--fg
what was the selllers name o ebay. i did the same exact thing and when i got it i updated everything and nothing worked.. i sent it in to htc cause it was under warranty. i told them the truth and its been repaired just waiting on fed ex to deliver it. they replaced the main board and antenna wire
similar problem
sorted: the issue was sim card being faulty.
i recently got an old UK G1 from my brother.
It keeps saying 'no service'. I have downgraded it to RC7 for purpose of rooting but it still says 'no service'.
I was able to bypass initial registration process using adb.
The phone is connecting well to wifi. It is also able to search 'available networks' but does not connect with tmobile.
I have asked for another sim card (it will take a few days to arrive) thinking that the problem is related to sim card but could i be wrong?
Is this problem related to hardware?
Is it possible that wifi, bluetooth and searching network works well and still the hardware is faulty?
what are your thoughts?

I am not really sure what happened. I have JF1.51 installed on my g1 and haven't had any issues at all with it. Today for some reason my phone stopped recognizing the t-mobile network. I tried multiple sim cards and haven't had any luck. My wife has a completely stock g1 and her phone works fine even with my sim card in it. I have tried going into call settings and it just says network error. I know that the phone is still under warranty, but I can't downgrade back to rc29 because I won't be able to re download the updates since I can't log into my gmail account. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do? I really can't afford a new phone. I could just install one of the roms that doesn't have any theme modifications, but not sure if they would noticed I have an updated spl and radio and apps2sd. Please give me some ideas. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hey guys,
I have a 32B my touch 3g and I was following http://theunlockr.com/2010/04/26/how-to-root-the-htc-mytouch-3g/ this guide to root. I flashed the sappimg.npg to go from 1.6 -> 1.5. The problem is, I can't seem to activate the phone! When I turn on the phone after the flash, I get to the http://techblog.aasisvinayak.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/device22.png Touch android to activate screen. The sim that I'm using does have a data plan. I used the sim in my roomates phone and he is able to get on the internet.
When I type in my google info, it tries to connect to the server, but fails and I get this error:
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be proivisioned for data services. If it continues, callCustomer Care."

Just skip that step and activate your wifi. After you activate wifi then connect to a wifi network and sign in with your gmail account. I've encountered this problem when I've flashed a new rom. I guess when you flash a new rom you disconnect from the network so you don't have data for a bit. Don't worry your phone will automatically connect and keep a stable connection eventually. Just be patient.
I can't connect to wifi, I'm still using the stock ROM.
What? You can't connect to wifi using the stock rom?

Unfortunately not =/
That doesn't make sense. You should be able to use wifi even with the stock rom. I'm not sure why you can't sign into wifi with the stock rom. Just try signing in a couple times and eventually it'll ask you if you want to sign in later. Then just click yes. After that connect to a wifi network and sign in from there.
The only way to register your handset is through cellular data I don't think there's away around that if your root process was successful I'd suggest trying a different rom or wiping and trying again or let your phone set for awhile maybe its having trouble registering with the network this does happen so be patient

I was in the process of rooting, but didn't get very far. I downgraded from 1.6 to 1.5, and thats when the data stopped working.
It seemed to registered, but no data is being downloaded =/
Sounds like a step was missed somewhere I would try wiping and starting from scratch and make sure your magic is a 32b an not a 32a also when yöu install your rom make sure its something stable for your version of magic

I'm using the right steps for the right version of the phone. I haven't flashed any cooked roms yet, just the standard ol' stock one.
Well, I was trying a few roms a few days ago and later i decided to go back to stock, I accidentally let the customizations run, and it went back to verizon, but i flashed the 0068 (or something like that) PRL file to the phone using EPST, after that I dialed *228 and updated the PRL to 02004 (latest MetroPCS PRL file), but i still cant use it, (i realized just 5 mins ago, 2 days after prl flashing -_-) I called the customer support just now and they said they just reset the device and I should shut it down and restart it, so anyways my question is:
I can't use my phone, I cant call, text or use web, and no one can call me, it says service not activated when i try to connect to the internet, and I cant use my voice mail either(LA 01 message something error) What should I Do?
Thanks guys.

The only thing that comes to mind would be for the VZW customizations to actually modify more than just PRL (but mess with other EPST settings as well). Just to confirm, did you have your phone working on Metro before this?
yes, it was working perfectly, even the mms and web were working :|
EDIT: I can call *611 and *228, oh wait i think i said that in the first post...

If you had 2.31 installed, the device should still be unlocked. Try running a hard reset/flashing another rom and see if that helps. I have a feeling that you will need to go into EPST and play with your MSID and MIN values and a few other things as well.

I hard reset on stock rom and didn't let the customizations run, then flashed 3.42.30 (alltell rom i think) and with out resetting the device I just put the nfsfan's rom in the sd card and flashed that, it still didn't help, can someone give me the settings for the PST.
Thanks for the reply

3.42.30 is a radio and not an actual rom. My guess would be that, unless you have them stored somewhere else, you will need to call Metro and ask them to help you re-program the phone. Couple of pointers:
a. Don't tell them that you have a Vogue (let alone a Vogue running 6.5) since they have little/no experience with WM devices.
b. Using BAFMSL, get your MSL from your device (you will need this to unlock and edit the EPST parameters. My guess is that you read the ESN to the Metro rep, who calculated an MSL, which of course did not work (here I am assuming that the ESN on your device has been cloned from another phone)).
c. What you want to get out of the rep are the numeric parameters for:
MIN (normally your phone number)
MSID
HomeSID
Don't assume that he/she will be able to guide you through the editing process because they simply won't know how. A simple "yes, go on" every time they tell you to change something will suffice. Just make sure you write the numbers down in a piece of paper.
Do this and get your numbers. If they are any different from the ones that are currently loaded, then your issue will be solved.
Just thought of one other thing. You said you went back to stock Verizon. Which radio did you have before that? And what radio did the Verizon rom take it to?
well, I had it metroflashed, and i can't do it again as i don't have any money now (only 15 years old xD), it has original ESN, does this change anything?
and btw, i can edit the epst, (the code is six 0s) or i may be wrong )

Nah, Metroflash via Houdinisoft does two things:
1. It will add the ESN into Metro's database and will link it to your account.
2. It may provision your phone. I say may because I have seen, more often than not, that Houdini fails to provision any device that runs WM.
Asking you again about the radios. What radio did you have prior to flashing to Verizon stock and what did the stock flash the radio to?

Yes, I was asking because I was afraid that you went below 3.xx.xx on the radio as this has been known to cause issues, including leaving phones completely useless.
Did you get the parameters from Metro as I suggested earlier?
well I got rid of the phone, as the representatives were not helping me at all (I talked to 5) so I am just going to buy a LG rumor touch (virgin mobile) and my other choice is Tmobile G1 but can I get it without a data plan?

Only if you buy it without contract (the G1, that is). Sorry that you couldn't get it to work. I am sure that it was only a matter of re-programming the device.
Hello, I purchase a i5800 phone and the wifi worked fine on it for the first week. Now it says... "unable to scan". can some one tell me what that means... I turn the wifi on, scan for networks.. ( I have wireless here in my home .. in the middle of nowhere) and it will not scan for my home network.
I purchased the phone, unlocked for my At&t account. I have NO cell service in my area, but I want to access the downloades and etc for my phone at home..
any ideas..
I don't understand the "root" thing.. so please talk to me like I am lacking..
Yes I am in the USA... I have had the phone for 2 months and just figured out it is a UK phone. so I am doubly frustrated.
I tried Samsung USA they sent me to UK.. never heard back from them and it would NOT recognized my IEMI

Try flashing u're device to some other working firmware ..
Tht might solve your problem
You could just flash the US firmware for the device, that should solve atleast any of the location-specific issues.

you dont need to flash it!
I'll edit this post
here, from the thread "Wifi Not Working" (maybe you should have checked that out first:
stubborn_d0nkey said:
you have to be roooted:
delete or rename(i suggest an extension change with the date) bcm_supp.conf in /data/wifi/
I suggest using root explorer, terminal is also an option.
warning, you will lose saved wifi networks/passwords.
you can open the file to retrieve some passwords.
if you have a titanium backup of system data i think you could restore it with that, not sure about it.

BUT something is fishy in here. when my phone says not registered on network. i tried calling myself from land line i got ring tone. but there isnt any action om my galaxy. when i turn on airplane mode i got carriers unreachable message.
*there is stupidity. i still cannot believe myself WHY I DID IT. I didn't even back up my efs.

i had this happen to my cspire phone today. It wont get past activation right?? Mine would try to activate on first one and go to different carrier like verizon, 2nd one just wouldnt activate at all. It acts like the modem is wrong but the sim card app's will tell you that its fully functional as does the settings menu, its just stuck in ROAMING mode.. I went through 2 of them this morning, My 2nd would keep trying to activate and then say no sim and crash out, so odin it back to samsung official status and go claim your warranty and don't touch it again. I did both with the knox 0x1 and far as i know that doesn't hold anything against your hardware warranty. Company should approve it as long as you have their original software back on there in the locked state.

thanks for your advice dude but i couldn't care less about warranty i have friend work in there but i dont have time to go there and i cant be away my phone for my job for more than 1 hour. even right now i have wifi hot spot to use my phone. i have to fix it or i will have to buy a new one.
OK try this.
Flash a custom recovery, Philz is my recommendation.
Boot to recovery (hold volume up +power)
Them in recovery menu go to mounts and storage and format System, cache, data, pre load.
Now flash stock ROM again and keep fingers crossed.

Just telling you man the carrier couldnt even fix mine with their forced data fix from their system. The phone gets screwed up and not even odin can bring it back. You can get someone to pull your modem from their rom and try to flash over but it will fail. Once its there its like it cant untake it. I returned 2 by warranty today, im done with messing with this pos phone if thats all its going to do for me. But go in the store tell them the sim card went bad, they will piddle with it and try another card and it will do same crap, then they will finally break down and offer u a warranty phone. Mine were FREE!! You said you cant be away from the phone for more than 1 hour, well at this rate NOTHING is coming through your device at this point?? So your hotspot does nothing if the phone doesn't have a data connection? Mine would get stuck with the roaming triangle, you could do 611 and hang up and 4g would come on but then go away again. If thats the case you'd save time and hassle by just taking it in with official a odin full restore flash on it.
