I switched my wife over to Sprint to be on my family plan and I thought it would be nice to use her old T-Mobile myTouch 3G as wifi-only Android device. I have already reset the device to stock. It was never rooted or anything.
The problem is that now it boots up and says "touch the android to begin". But we don't have T-Mobile service on it, so it won't let me get past the setup. I have Googled this and I can find is some stuff about touching the 4 corners, but it does not work.
I would just like to do two things:
1) Load the new 2.2 ROM
2) Use the phone on my home network
How? Please help.
I have experience with custom ROMs on Windows Mobile phones, I'm even running Froyo on my Touch Diamond, but I'm new to the native Android scene...
You'll need to just throw a data enabled SIM in to activate and you'll be good after. You'll have to have one for T-Mobile though unless you unlock the phone. A lot of people have had success getting an unlock code from T-Mobile though so that shouldn't be too hard, just a phone call.

So to be clear, there's no method to simply connect the phone to my computer using USB and bypass activation and/or load a new ROM? Keeping in mind that I don't want to use any cellular service with it...

cant you just skip the sign in part? then just use wifi?
if not, maybe you need to root it andload cm or something on it
on my backup mt3g, which is rooted, with cm6, i can skip the sign in, and then use wifi
He can't bypass the activation on the stock ROM. It'll be a pain to root without being able to access the phone unless he's got ready access to another Android powered device.

more evidence of:
stock=bad
root=good
btw, with UniversalAndroot, you could root that sucker in literally one or two clicks, my 7 year old niece could do it, then install rom manager, and if you dont have a file explorer, here's root explorer
after that, i would wipe all, flash cm nightly 221 over that stock junk and add pershoot's kernel
problem solved-skip sign-in and use your mt3g on da wi-fi
That would be great if he didn't have to get past the activation screen on the stock ROM initially to do all of it. Not trying to troll you, just saying.

guess he just needs to borrow a friend's tmo sim card, then
oh well
just went back and read his op
"I have already reset the device to stock. It was never rooted or anything."
curious as to why he "reset" if it wasnt rooted? should have just left it alone
wonder if the friendly folks at the Tmo store would let him borrow a sim for a few minutes
Ok, this might be a MEGA noobish question, but i have never dealt with Android before so please bare with me XD
I have just (yesterday) got my Atrix on tmobile in the uk, an would like to root it to use Aura ROM to get the 2.3.4 features and general improvements it seems to bring, but is there any reason to wait any length of time?
Its my understanding that Android is completely OpenSource, so is rooting it voiding any warranty, or is it OK with carriers? I ask since tmobile offers a 14 day period to make sure im happy with the phone, and that it all works fine, which it seems to after my extensive playing/testing over the last 2 days, but if it does go wrong i wouldnt want to take it in, rooted, and have them say they cant help me.
any clearing up of this would be much appreciated!
You should wait until the return period is over before rooting it. This will give you time to make sure nothing is physically wrong with it. Rooting alone will not void your warranty. However, unlocking the boot loader will and you need to do that to load a custom recovery so that you can flash another ROM. An unlocked message will get displayed on the start up screen. Some carriers may not pay much attention to that when returning it. Motorola will most likely notice if you need to use the manufacturers warranty though.
Root will void your warranty, wait till the trial period is over just to be safe...

i got my phone from AT&T and rooted it as soon as i got home, a week later i ended up hard bricking my phone and went into the AT&T store and got it replaced for free. now, i did also pay for insurance on my phone so if anything happened to it (even if it's my fault) i'd get it replaced, but it seemed as if the representative had no clue what he was talking about. i was honest with them and everything and told him i was trying to unlock the phone when it happened, and he just kind of smiled and nodded and then pulled out a new phone out of the back. i asked how much i owed him, and he told me nothing.
point of the story is, i wouldn't worry about rooting the phone. it's possible that you won't be able to get it replaced, but chances are the rep you talk to either won't know what rooting is, or won't care. unlocking your bootloader though, i'd definitely wait a little while.
thanks, that is a good point though that people in the shop probably wont understand/care about rooting etc.
Though your reply, Alcapone, has confused me slightly i thought rooting and unlocking the bootloader were one and the same, but apparently not. could you please explain what is different, and is there any reason for me to root without unlocking the bootloader?
basically for now, since im on tmobile who seem quite slow at updating, i just want to get a way to put gingerbread on the phone. im ok with waiting 2 weeks for roms, but 2.3.4 i could do with now, if its possible, can that be done just by rooting?
many thanks

rooting your device is just giving it root access, so apps can access parts of the system that they normally couldn't. rooting is extremely easily, and reversible. there are multiple ways to do it, i would suggest either the one click root for all gingerbread devices here
or the preinstall method here
now, unlocking the bootloader is a lot different. it pretty much enables you to install custom firmware onto your device. you can install a custom recovery that allows you to install amazing ROMs such as CM7, Aura, Ninja, Alien, Red Pill, Homebase, etc. etc.
i'm still assuming you're on gingerbread, so unlocking your bootloader is a panicky process. you'll get a fake hard brick (0x1000 error), but all you have to do is boot into fastboot mode and type the command 'fastboot oem unlock'. you can find a really awesome script that will do it all for you here
now, unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty. it gives you a bit of text on your boot logo (the motorola screen) that says 'unlocked' and allows your carrier to know you voided the warranty. it's also irreversible, once unlocked always unlocked. so make your decision wisely
nevermind, just skimmed over your post again. my apologies, i misread a few parts originally, you'll need to unlock your device to install a custom ROM with gingerbread. you can unlock your device by flashing the .sbf files you can find in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
thanks, so just to confirm, rooting alone wont allow me to update to 2.3.4? to be honest im not really to fussed about voiding warranty, it only lasts 2 weeks, and im away with no tmobile store even vaguely close for both of them plus i seem to be addicted to voiding the warranty on anything i buy by fiddling/overclocking asap, i cant help myself
i assume it is possible, if it does go wrong, to restore the phone to manufacturers settings and start again?

After you get the bootloader unlocked and cwm recovery installed going back to factory settings is as easy as installing a stock ROM. Which is pretty damn easy
And rooting alone isn't enough to get you gingerbread.

awesome, thanks again. one last question (for now at least ) before i dive in, is this all possible on a mac, i noticed a lot of the rooters (if thats the right word?) are .exe which worried me slightly, im away from my windows machine for 2 weeks now. if not i guess thats as good a reason as any to not void my warranty for now XD

You can go to the ihop thread in the dev forum and use the Mac sbf flasher provided there. After that use the sbf that corresponds to your device. Flashing the wrong sbf can brick your device so maker sure you get the right one. Then boot into fastboot and use the fastboot OEM unlock command.
You can root as well on a Mac i'm sure, I just wouldn't know how. I'm guessing the preinstall method I linked would work.

if you know how to root id do so. i already rooted, and also bricked my atrix. flashing the 4.2 sbf unbricked it and rerooted no problems so far, just the benefits of root (using apps that can only work with root permissions, flashing custom roms) also why flash Aura and run 2.3.4 when you can flash honeyatrix and run honeycomb 3.1?

na not yet maybe after beta when everything works, kinda over cm now. new phone new roms hoping some new ones pop up here soon, but ill probly check out cm when its out of beta but most likely wont keep it as default.
after a bit of research it seems rooting on a mac is pretty tricky, since i dont have a vast ammount of terminal experience. is there a way i can forward some sort of app to the phone and root from the phone itself?

The 2 weeks is a return window with tmobile. Motorola, and most vendors, offer a one year manufacturer warranty. That is the warranty you void when unlocking the boot loader. Just wanted to clarify that bit.
ah thanks, i guess motorola WOULD notice its unlocked then. after some reading i think i'll use CM7, seems less likely to kill the phone, right?
the phone is insured, i guess it would be covered by that if i bricked it for good? if not i could take a hammer to it and claim it was a 'terrible accident' XD

AT&T version (r800at) is fine I've got it, I wouldn't buy the Verizon version (r800x) because thry haven't released any source for it so development it's really rough. I'd recommend getting your bootloader unlocked to flash cm 7.1 or another ROM and dooms kernel. With the r800i, r800a, and r800at being the exact same hardware all the firmwares and updates work across all of them.

zergrush for root, get theme files for ICS theme, push through adb, install launcher with ICS theme
Check the development and theme/app sections, there are some easy to find threads in both that will prove useful to you.

Unless you have the dev cable you need to pay the $25. The Dev cable is more then $25. If there were an easier way to unlock the bootloader everyone would be doing it so just pay the $25 abs move on man.

There is no way to unlock your bootloader without paying. The only two tools able to do it is. Omnius and SETool. Both of these applications require "credits" to perform an unlock!
Then I shall instead of paying even more to enjoy this phone I am just going to sell it it lags and I fiured I'd get a rom and a kernal to oc and fix the lag but I already spent 425 on it and its not worth it to put anymore into it.... it was a dud I may come back whenever the duo comes out... and there were many of people on here posting about the Ericsson website being able to worth and a lot of people said it did and I even seen a video of it working on the arc

Then you should of researched your purchase beforehand. Then you would know only sim free, unbranded factory unlocked plays can get the bootloader unlocked from the sony website. This is because unlocking the bootloader removes all security from the phone including sim lock. If sony offered this to sim locked devices, it would make network providers very unhappy.

We can root it.
And fastboot recognizes our phone. It's kinda like we're missing something.
It's like those ****ers at Verizon are teasing us.
And does the D2 method work on this?
yep they are hell we can root it but can not install cm7. the roms we can install i dont thank are that good every one i ask online says cm7 is the best but i am hoping that they will make one we can flash with out having the bootloader unlocked because us R800X users can not do that (with out paying and thats something im not going to do)
what we need are more roms that are good and work with out haveing are bootloader unlocked i got the phone because i was thinking it was fun and it is and i was thinking i was going to be puting cm7 or ICS OS will i can not do ether of them and as of right now it sucks haveing the R800X i hope i can get something like a ICS like CM9 or at lest CM7 ya know
I am seriously about to pay the money though. Sure our nandroid roms are cool but I want CM9

This thread is pointless.
What no one understands is that the Xperia line is not like other phones.
Kernels will NEVER be able to be flashed via CWM on this phone.
Xperias do not have a boot portion onboard the system
To install ROMs like CM7, you MUST install a different kernel.
Sure, no one likes to pay.
But what other options do you have?
You can unlock by paying now, or you can try to wait it out

Couldnt agree more. This will be a never ending debate. Anyone with a locked bootloader has (2) options .. a) Unlock your Bootloader .. b) Take the time to Learn how to develop a rom that you would like for your locked down phone.
Plus we're on Verizon, did you really think they would make it easy for ya?

... you know imei is the identifier for GSM phones, so there is no way any phone that is built for CDMA networks will have an imei, correct? ...
Oh, and Verizon has done their best to deny root (2.3.2 blocked gingerbreak, the old way to root. Zergrush was developed after 2.3.3 was released)
We didn't actually have fastboot enabled, on a stock phone.
So, actually Verizon did their very best to lock down the phone, and only due to the awesomeness of developers and unlockers on XDA, do we have the any freedom at all.

While that may be your intent. This statement makes clear that you don't even understand the situation. Until you, and anyone else who would make a thread like this, either decides to read more (or quit posting) we will continue to have unproductive threads like this. Though I don't suppose you consider this unproductive...and THAT is the real problem here.
Let me make one thing clear for you. Verizon, gave you nothing. You sir, or whomever pays your cell bill are paying for quite a bit. But not on that list is the freedom to do what you will with your phone.

Yeah, I'm living it. I feel like it's a tease just for this reason. I look around here, knowing that I'm not going to *be able* to pay to unlock my bootloader, as I'm unemployed and in High School, I find some cool threads involving the R800x. I forget about needing a different kernel, and the developer doesn't thoroughly explain it enough to the point where I have to find that out the hard way.
Then I find some new customization apps, like maybe a new launcher and other stuff and realize that not having a custom ROM isn't all that bad, especially since R800x came with pure Vanilla Android, with customization at it's best. I eventually get bored with the setup on my phone after noticing some new features that are only available on custom ROMs, most commonly Theme Chooser with CyanogenMod, or MIUI in general, then the cycle repeats. I just can't learn... Silly me!
i just think the R800x should be able to unlock there bootloaders for free just like the other xperia plays because im just like the one guy that posted i dont have the money to pay to unlock my boot loader. it sucks being stuck using the 2.3.3 update win others get to use the cm7 with the 2.3.7 update it sucks for us it sucks bad

But its not something to complain about either.
Either pay your dues, or attempt to find another way.
Whiney bunch of kids - you think everyone owes you something. Why don't you get off your pathetic whiny butts and get a job? Then you can afford to unlock it. It's like the cost of a couple of pizzas.

Whiney bunch of kids - you think everyone owes you something. Why don't you get off your pathetic whiny butts and get a job? Then you can afford to unlock it. It's like the cost of a couple of pizzas.

Yeah my god you guys whine! i got a gsm r800i which was bootloader and sim locked to O2, i had to pay to unlock the bootloader. Its only $24
Either stick with stock, or unlock the bootloader. The advantage with this method is that you keep your DRM keys so trackID still works
will for one dont say that its offensive to some of us i know it is me and i just was saying if others get to do it for free then its only far thats all im saying but if i got to pay then i guss i will pay to get it done
So... a local reseller is offering me his HTC Wildfire (known as Desire A here where i live) BUT there is one problem, it is locked with an operator which i dont like and i can't pay. So I was wondering if there was a free way to unlock it (not rooting please, i dont understand that). I know that IMEI is legal and easy but and its cheap the problem is that i dont own a Credit Card, Therefore i cant pay it. Is there a way of getting my unlock code for free? Or is there another way to unlock it?

Is there a particular reason saying no to root? Actually do you really know what root is? If I am not mistaken, you can do your job done using alpharev (s-off unlock and the process is reversible back to s-on), maybe someone can show you the way to "how to" exactly.
