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 have tried to search, so please be patient. I just received my Google Ion in the mail.
1. I am in the US currently under Tmobile. Since the phone has not been released yet I am having a problem with the data plan option that they gave me. They gave me the Tmobile Smartphone Unlimited Web. The problem is that when I just try to connect to the web it says that a "Subscription upgrade is required. Your current plan is not compatible with this device." Is it possible to use the G1 data plan?
2. The Google Ion seems to be slightly thicker than the Vodafone Magic. I had an old hard case from my Vodafone that will not snap around the body of the Ion. Are my observations correct?
3. Where are the step by step instructions on how to change the Rom on the Developer Google Ion? I was able to check the board and its a 32b.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, I had to go to the Tmobile store to resolve the data package. I was able to temporarily switch to the G1 plan until the Mytouch is released. I now have web access.
Step-by-step instructions are posted almost daily.
Put an update.zip (the ROM) on your memory card. Get fastboot from HTC. The recovery ROM that comes with the Ion requires a keyboard, so find one that's been hacked to support the trackball. Use fastboot to start the recovery image and flash update.zip.
That should give you enough info to search for what you need if you are still unclear.
So, I got this 6800 from a friend of mine along with a 6700 ( with a very bad battery ), figuring that I am going to develop software for 6.0 I went with the 6800 for the Rom Upgrade. I had the original Qwest Rom on here
Software Version 2.13.656.2
Firmware Version 1.39.00
I went ahead and followed the Ryan Mogul Cricket flash info ( yes i plan to flash this to cricket also ) however sadly before I installed his cricket ROM, i went ahead and followed the instructions for the NUERom2_5049 and after the flash ( done via laptop/activesync connection ), the phone seemed to be bricked. I tried every trick in the book from using the 1G MicroSD card that I have with the ROm on it ( considering the 4G wouldnt work at all ), and couldnt get anywhere.
I also tried flashing Sprint/Alltel/VZW Roms without success, I finally came across the Stock Rom ( Upgrade ) frm Qwest, ran it from Laptop, worked like a charm.
OK now for the questions... Here is some quick info about the new rom. It is Software Version 3.35.656.2, and the Firmware Version is 3.37.20 . At this point I am considering a couple of options.
1. leave the working rom on here and just play with the registry, settings, software, etc.. to get my goal accomplished.
2. Flash this thing over to Ryans Cricket Rom for Mogul ( Hey Ryan if you read this... Is that compatible with the Qwest Mogul?) and go ahead and start the service.
3. Custom Rom, and find a way to get the Cricket info in there.
Also I am using PRL1039 from CK right now, working like a charm so far, I am also wondering if this unit will work on cricket as is if I change some settings.
Just a few things im trying to figure out right now. Along with the ability to get the device to become a Portable Hotspot/ Wireless Adapter ( I now finally have this working as an internet connection....Laptop to PPC via USB Cable, PPC to Netgear Router via WiFi, and im online! Thanks a bunch for anyone with any suggestions, I look forward to seeing what I can do with this device. Also I have the SPL 1040, should I chance it for Cricket?
Thanks in advance!
First thing you want to do is re-do your PST settings to Cricket as the stock ROM changed all of that. Including unlocking your MSL/SPC code to all zeroes and loading a Cricket PRL on there. Follow my Cricket PST settings thread for that. Then you want to remove your memory card and boot up your current ROM into windows mobile and connect to active sync. Make sure its connected you should be able to access the files on the device through your computer and sync icon in taskbar will be green.
Now flash the unlocked bootloader Olipro2.40 exe. You can find that in my htc unlock tools directory on my share site, link provided in my PST settings thread.
After that is all said and done you can flash any Custom ROM including mine. If you use my Cricket ROMs all you have to do is activate the data connection and enter your [email protected], password cricket, blank domain, check save password. Done.
If you use someone elses NON cricket ROM you can always use my Cricket WAP or WAP and Arcsoft CABs to set up the Cricket information for you. Hope this helps.
already redid the spl stuff, still cant seem to get the msl back to 000000 but i do have the correct one. Just got the unit working as a wireless adapter so thats a plus, i need to get this thing over to cricket next, so I can get my account set back up. right now using Skype for phone service sicne I have WiFi. I will try your rom again, Ryan , as soon as I get things going with this again. Thanks for the tips, they seem to be coming in very handy ( been googling your posts for help with this device ) I know the 6700 inside and out but the 6800 seems to be a new dog right now, been playign with it for a while, got alot figured out, but still more to learn. Thanks again
ok just to update a bit, ive made a few slight changes, got a few new accessories, and tweaked out a few settings, however, all this and i still havent gotten the MSL back to 000000. Any ideas at all, tutorials, walkthroughs, hits, tips, tricks, or otherwise step-by-step directions so i can get that back to 000000 insead of the 6 digit code it is now, then maybe *2/228 will work and i can actually use the data features. Thanks in advance.
Hi all!
Noob logging in here. Finally I thought of upgrading myself from Sony Ericsson Symbian S60 System to a more modern Android. So I got myself a MyTouch off of Clist.
I dont have any internet package. I wish to use the phone with my current SIM.
I have been reading for the past 12-14 hours on how to..... root, load rom, gold card, and so on.... I do understand most of the stuff.
What I can't seem to achieve is HOW TO GET PAST THE INITIAL LOG IN SCREEN, when I DONT have a SIM with access?!
Is the answer basically NONE?!
Hi there,
While on the screen with the Android, try to tap the corners of the screen in this order : top left, top right,bottom right, bottom left
It should get you right to the homescreen
Most of the dev ROMs have the option to skip the log in process when you first boot up.
just tapped on the screen as suggested, and it didn't do anything. just booted as usual. Do I need to put a SIM in the phone when I do this?
you need to order data for a day to get past the google sign in or use a friends sim hope i helped
can I flash a rom onto this phone without rooting it first. Meaning, since I dont have an option to get internet on a phone for a day, can I flash a logged rom onto this? is there such a thing or is it just my imagination? thanks.

Just booted as usual? when did you actually do it? you have to do this while on the screen where it says "Touch the Android to begin". Maybe I wasn't clear enough... there's a screenshot of what I meant on this page... but yes you need a SIM card in the phone to get there, I think.
Rooting the phone
Short answer: YES, you do need data plan; no other way. I ended up asking a friend with a SIM & data plan to finish the initial steps.
Some said the tapping method works, but seems like a lot couldn't get it through. In order to root the phone for installing custom rom, you follow the steps in here:
h t t p://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
Downgrading from 1.6 TO 1.5 and Rooting for T-Mobile MT3G
*Note: Data Plan required!
The stock ROM requires you to have a data plan, and to downgrade the MyTouch3G into a 1.5 version will NEED you to have a data plan to get pass the activation.
It didn't work for me either. Too bad we can't get around this with out a data plan. anyway....

So according to this a data plan is required through out the rooting process?
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.
