Hi all
I have just recently bought an 8125 unlocked and for T-Mobile use, but now I'm starting to have issues. My phone suddenly turned off 3 days later, and now it won't start up past the loader screen. I've been looking through every forum I could, and have concluded I must have a bad ROM or something..
Now, I've downloaded an RUU and was told I could use that to reset my ROM, but when I'm in bootloader mode, my computer won't detect it. It says that it's downloading drivers, but it's "device unknown." Some have said to reinstall activesync, but I'm on Vista, so I already have Windows Mobile Center. I know that I need to run an RUU, but if my computer can't recognize my phone, then I'm stuck because the program won't run.
Please, does anyone know what's going on and could help me? My search results have me even more confused. If it helps, i have a G3 (i'm not sure what that means)
Thanks!
whoops, wrong phone thread. moderator, please delete this!
Hi all, am a noob to this and have dloaded and tried several roms here but got nowhere.
I have an orange SPVM2000 running WM2003
my PC is running Vista Premium ( so no active sync as such)
and i have a dock station
alot of the roms require to put the update to SD then boot to Bootloader and run, but i cannot do this as when it is in cradle i have no access to reset button and if i goto bootloader first then put back on dock the PC will not read the device.
I AM WELL LOST.
please could some one reply with a dummys guide please?
i have read as many tips guides and stickys and still lost.
I do not care if i upgrade to WM 5 or 6 but woud prefer 6
THANKS!!
for BA particularly, you will flash direct from your computer.
I dont know whether your Vista is compatible with the flashing software, but XP surely does.
Do further reading, I am sure u will understand what I mean.
And a comment for the bootloader problem: first you put the device in bootloader mode, then you put it back in the cradle. Simple as that.
ALL DONE
All sorted cheers, WM6 up and running, i did a bit of fiddlin and away i was, no need for bootloader as it did it itself, it would not use vista so i use xp with active sync. cheers all
Hello,hello,
Anyway without going into it too much i have my phone with imcokeman's 2.31 and all ready to go with a new screen. I'm trying to use mtty.exe on windows 7 and with usb turned off on wmdc and i keep getting "usb can not open" error
i tried administrator,xp compatibility,Eugenia project, nothing seems to be working.
If anybody has any idea how to fix this....then that would be coooool. otherwise i think i'm going to have to get a new phone. (htc of course!)

Have you tried Virtual XP? Also, you did put your device in bootloader, right?
Windows 7 32 bit doesn't have that many issues, but 64 bit does... Try to get a machine with XP if at all possible. It will solve a lot (if not all) your issues (current and future )
yeah , i had it in bootloader 2.31, tricolor screen,with custom rom, never had too many problems doing this stuff with xp. I'll see what i can do in the next couple of days after that.....new or used phone. thanks for the reply.
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..
