Hello folks, I have purchased a US T-Mobile G1 from the market on this forum and it was unlocked and rooted with latest version of cyanogen mod. Yesterday night while playing with the phone ( I am totally noob with the G1 ) I accidentally wiped everything back to the stock fw, so I lost dangerSPL, HDBoot and also the recovery partition has been corrupted.
Now with the stock firmware I am stuck with the google account sync even though if I press the menu button the APN editing option comes up and it lets me add the APN of my Italian sim card, but no matter what I do it just don't work, it keep say there's a problem with my SIM card network, and to try again.
Also when I turn on the phone I can see a screen that says Aperture Laboratories, with a draw of a cake which says "don't worry u still got root"
What is that??? a sort of perm root??
I been googling for a whole day now about how to bypass this process and I don't seems to have found any working informations.
Can anyone help me please ??? I am desperate ...
The only guide apparently working regarding bypassing the google account sync I have found is this one http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f606/bypass-t-mobile-g1-google-activation-phonecarecenter-781472/ , the problem is I can't just get to install the correct driver on Windows XP SP2/SP3 neither on Windows 7 32bit, I have tried the impossible, but it just doesnt work, and with the default windows 7 driver it can't be seen through adb devices... Is there a way to do it on Linux or Mac ??? Any working usb driver for Linux or osx ???
Does anyone have any idea??? I think the only way to activate this G1 is with a T-Mobile US sim card which I don't have and I don't have chance to get as I am in Italy, any help please ??? If I don't get that god damn home screen I wont be able to do anything ....
Umm - me too,in the same place .
Can't make my Windows (and i tried to use XP an Vista) to recognize HTC G1 as phone, not 'usb mass storage device'
I have successfully activated my G1 through wifi. Regarding the driver installation, I have went through this guide and I have followed it to letter, and it worked, hopefully it will work out for u..

Any solutions? my computer will recognize at first but then it says not connected and wont let me acess the files on my wing. Im using Windows Vista btw.
Can somebody help me with this problem?
I am using vista also.. try soft reseting it.
I tried soft resetting it and hard resetting it and it still doesn't work. Now I'm contemplating ever getting Touch It 2.3
Try going in settings->connections->usb to pc and either check it if its not checked or uncheck it if it is checked
Mine did this too last week. Reflash your phone with the official Tmobile RUU posted in the forum.
My steps were:
-Go into bootloader mannually (camera button plus voice command button and finally with those two press, click in the hole (between memory and volume key) with your styles)
-After it seems that pc loaded up some kind of driver, double click on the official Tmobile RUU and flash your phone to stock form.
this should work and goodluck...
I've connected my Wing on my friend's computer and it's recognized by his ActiveSync but its Windows XP he's using. Is there any way i can reinstall or change some settings on my computer so that it can recognize my Wing again? I really prefer the windows xp activesync over the windows vista version but theres no way of getting the old activesync on vista.
Finally!! I fixed the problem! I had to install version 6.1 from microsoft's website, and everything is good now. thanks for the help everybody.
do you have the link to that update im having the same problem
nm i got it, thanks for the solution though
Hello
I bought a second hand phone and I want to downgrade it to 6.1 to get rid of all the rubbish that seems to be on there.
My real problem is that it won't sync via activesync 4.5 - it connects but then hangs on "looking for changes" and I am sure it is something to do with the software.
I have hard reset on seveal occasions now and reinstalled activesync several times too.
I have removed the sd card and other small thing I have found on the net to do but nothing seems to get it going.
Can anyone help me?
I know I have to do some flashing but I have never done that.
Please help!!!
if you want to downgrade it, just download a rom from htc's website, get your phone into bootloader mode, connect to pc, wait for the "usb" message to appear at the bottom, and flash the rom.
(only follow onscreen instructions and the process is simple.)
if you dont know how to get into bootloader, there are videos at youtube and guides in the forum.
hope this helps,
Eyal.

Is this some sort of test device? As i noticed its also security unlocked
I have 2 devices，if you need.contact me. MSN:[email protected]
YES,it is unlock....
how did u get it to be security unlocked ?
He has a pre-release phone, it came with a custom firmware that has those tools pre-installed.
YuLong, have you tried rebooting the phone (remove the battery, etc)?
If that doesn't work, have you tried connecting it to a different computer with just the Zune software? It might work.
he shuld prob contact some Devs in this forum and get his ROM dumped or backed up somehow, it may be usefull for Jailbreaking or something....
Please post your device specific questions in the proper forums!

that's a test rom, not a shipping ROM, so none of us will see that.
I need a htc surround rom desperately as i made the great mistake of purchasing a likely stolen store display model. its main account is set to [email protected] and keeps popping up with fake texts and refilling the contacts with fake contacts. my battery dies fast. Im sure im not the first to ask for a rom, but lord knows i need one.
need DIag mode Driver.Thanks
Hi there, I've been reading the forum for about a week trying to find a fix for my deceased orbit xda.
Problem started when the phone started crashing, the screen was going white and needed re-starting. Eventually it failed to load and froze at the blue screen with the red writing!
so I started reading and tried soft and hard re-booting to no avail.
I have managed to get the phone into bootloader and connected a USB
it recognises the usb and installs as a mobile device on my laptop but here's where it gets tricky. I dunno alot about phone's and am struggling to understand some of the processes. I have tried booting off the SD card but it said invalid certificate (i used the artiemg.nhb file from rapidshare)
I have all the original paperwork and cd's for the phone but dont know what or how to flash a ROM.
what do I need and more important how do I do it without all the tech talk.
Its a WM5 phone - thanks
EDIT - Just to clarify, have just tried the romupdateutility on raving_nanza's sig but recieve an error - am running vista on my laptop
Update, I managed yesterday to get the phone to boot from the SD card and indeed it flashed it and WM5 is back up and running, the new problem is its network locked (to O2 i presume). I was using this phone on orange previously without an issue????
any Idea's other than paying imei check?
...

what link was it?
what error did you have?
I tried to root my Magic however it has perfected SPL 1.76.2008 so I tried the goldcard method but I only managed to change the firmware from 1.6 to 1.5. I cannot use fastboot so now I'm trying to install a new RUU so that I can follow the steps to install CM however I get the USB error (on windows 7).
I already tried reinstalling the latest HTC Sync and that seems to recognise my phone but when I open the Setup for RUU, Sync doesnt recognise it anymore until I close setup and replug USB. And yes, I inserted the goldcard already. Any help is appreciated.
I have pretty much the same problem here, but I do not have a goldcard (which I dont thing its necessary). When I try to transfer some file to my phone, it starts and after a couple of seconds, unplug from storage mode (Robot turns green again :[ ).
I have Cyanogenmod 6.1.0-DS and Windows 7 32bit.
Even over wifi, this happens. Seems to me thats some storage problem with the rom, but cyanogenmod is widely used and tested.
Can someone help us?
Debugging on?
Of course, I followed every single step correctly maybe theres a problem with windows 7.

On linux now and had forgotten this. Reread everything from the beginning and recalled that I've had issues with the drivers from HTC Sync driver not working when I had downgraded my G1.
The "official" google sdk driver covers all builds and modes (RUU uses adb mode.) Maybe try reinstalling with them instead?
Kind Regards,
Kevin
