Question regarding G1's activation - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using Cyan mod, and I really wanna try out the Hero's stuffs. My only hesitation is that, my Sim card doesn't have internet and thus, flashing Hero ROMs ( required a wipe ) will lead to re-activating the phone again. Is there an " activate later " option like the one I did in Cyan build ? If there is, then my only problem will be solved. Thanks in advance guys, really appreciate your responses.

you could try it and if it gives u any issues where u cant sign in then flash your nandroid backup and all will be well. if u don't have his recovery image get it now. it has a ton of useful things in it. but if i do remember correctly in the intial boot up of the 1st haykuro released hero it had an option that will allow u to use wifi to do the set up. im not sure if its that way in the other hero roms floating around. just pop in the roms thread that u wanna try out and ask. its worth a shot i guess

Yes hero roms allow you to skip the gmail login and later go and sign in when you have a wifi connection, so go for it

It even asks if you want to connect to WiFi during setup so you don't have to skip it.

Problem - first start login g1! Pls help

Hi,
first sorry for my bad english I'm german...
Today I became a new G1 without any contract.
When I turn it the Phone ON, it want me to Log In with my Google Acc via UMTS/GPRS, but I haven't any such roaming connection, only W-Lan/WiFi..
Now I want to know if their is a chance to avoid that with a W-Lan connection or a pc with internet connection or or or...
Later I think i would anyway root the phone and put an other fw/rom on the phone (cyanogen,mlign,....)...
But I would test the normal System first for comparing...
And I haven't an microSD adapter, yet, so i can't root or is their a possibility???
I hope someone can help me, because i want to use this lovely G1!
THANKS for Help!!!

PS: I already have set up a ADB, but it doesn't make sense because I have to downgrade or???
Has the downgrade any influence on the original rom, for example an older original rom or something???

first root your g1 so you can downgrade it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
a card reader helps so you can place the proper files on your sdcard since you can't get passed the login screen yet on your phone.
then use the instructions here to get passed the login screen:

good luck!
Don't you have an option to skip the setup process? It may be apart of the custom Rom i'm using though. If you go ahead and root it and you flash on the Cyanogen Rom you should have the option of skipping the logging in.
Yes, so for passing login screen with WiFi,
I have to downgrade anyway or, because I have to use ADB and the hidden console to activate or???
Other Question:
What Android Ver. uses the official T-Mobile G1 Release on retail phones???
Is the Cyanogen and other Roms in all ways better???
Because then I think i would instantly root and flash an other Rom...
But for that I need also a microSD Adapter to SD, so I have still to wait.
Or is their any possibility without microSD Cardreader???

T-mobile G1 to ROGERS HELP PLZ

Hi guys
i had a rogers htc dream. i have used to the one click guide and haykuro methods to root my phone with cyanagen rom. however my phone is running extremely slow for some reason and i would have to force close all the application everytime. the only way to make it work is to uninstall and reinstall and reboot and use them for an hour and start force closing again.
while i was browsing i came to find out abt Super Dwang. some people are sayings it stable and fast. so i decided to try it. so i also wanted to get the new recovery Aman-Ra. once i installed that recovery...i was no longer able to go in recovery mode or start my phone. it would remain stuck on ROGERS logo. no matter what i tried didnt help. in desperation and by panicing i used the method on code.google.com to unbrick my phone. which led me to download DREAM.nbh and update that. little did i know once i have done that i ended up on T-mobile G1 with 1.0 firmwire and the original SPL. noting i could think of worked. i did reasearch one for last 5 hours and no help. so i have no choice to but post a thread in hope for a solution. i do want to mention was able to go to firmwire 1.1 with rc033 if that helps. i wanan go back to original HTC DREAM they way it came from rogers with 1.5 cupcake. if i want to root again i will do it later. also how do u upgrade radio i cant seem to do anything. please help.....i dun have a spare phone!!! i can make call but i am just so disappointed....please someone help me! i am a noob at this!
relax
At least its still running. I rooted my t-mobile under nearly the same circumstances (v1.1 etc) using the gold card hack. Youre a noob? So keep reading until you know what youre doing. Im at work atm. Maybe i can help when i get home. But 5 hours waiting is nothing. Dont force it. You could try it in the #android irc channel at freenode, meanwhile.
hey sHR00m thnaks alot. but i was able to go back to the root mode with cyanoge. what i did is i used to flashrec to back up and then flashed cyanoge 1.4 and at that point i was able to goto recovery mode and i used my laptop to put donut and latest cyanogen rom in the sd card and did a full wipe and installed. however when it loads it still says t-mobile g1 no that i care. i was able to use 3g from rogers! (it also returned me to original radio). but then i installed the amon-ra recovery and installed it (btw its amazing) and i flashed superD rom (super dwang) and its amazingly smooth! but i have 2g...dont have option for 3g and even with 2g i cant access the interent at all...no edge noting. i can only use WIFI.... with cyanogen latest rom its darn slow everything keeps force closing. apps dont run properly.....id unno why. there are many who are like its wow fast and me i am not getting the speed. i dunno what to do....can anyone plz help? i need 3g back or otherwise return to cyanogen but need to have speed and stability....
ah glad you made it back. no idea about the radio thing tho. im sure the information you need is out there but dont mess with the radio until you get it.
hey thanks...so right now i am on dwangs latest rom....and although i wasnt able to go on interent with my provider. i manually put in the apn's and to surf on 3g however with the dwang rom i cant seem to make it work for app2sd. i mean i created a partition and when i load i dun see a second part for my sd. and when i am installing apps it uses internal storage but not full but a partial. for example i installed a 4 mb app but i saw a 2 mb decrease on internal storage.

Question about Setup Wizard

Please excuse if I am in the wrong section, but I cannot get past Setup Wizard after skipping Google login. I cannot connect to Wi-Fi. I am running a Nexus build based on a 2.1 ROM (Jroid's). I cannot go to home. What is going on?
You have to wait for wifi to turn on and if it keeps bringing you back to login after signing in you should reflash and wait for wifi to fully turn on.
Might wanna try another Eclair rom if you can get past sign-in.

Well everytime I wipe/reflash, same thing happens. Is there a way to get to Home via adb?

Dont think so, you should try another eclair to to be sure your wifi is working and you can skip the login.

[Q] Renewing g1

The other day I pulled out my original preordered g1 with a broken screen. got on ebay and replaced my screen. I am rooted with an older cyanmod rom. Now I usually dont post because im a good ressarcher. But im lost. Did a full wipe and dont have a network connection to get past gmail set up. All I can tell you s it was firmware 1.5 and higher then rc29. Tried enter reboot enter on android screen. Tried flashing a few things. Says cant find E: /cache/system/command and no such file or directory. Just don't know where to begin. Just want newer/faster rom and overclock. Any help or redirecting would be appreciated. Just thought I could use 1on1 help as it isn't really a general problem. Thanks, gavin.
Doesn't it give you an option to skip the original Google login to get to your main screen?
I'd assume probably not for some odd reason since I'm guessing you'd have figured that out, but if not, use that skip option, then you can Wifi it to do the login etc after that..
Or try this thread...

[Q] no data and "insufficient space"

Super boob. I rooted, installed clockwork mod. Made lots of changes and deleted lots of stock files (music widget hanging in my notification bar) I was working then I downloaded "atorrent" just to see if torrents were good for mobile. Now I have no data signal, will not download anything due to insufficient space. I did a factory reset and that was the wrong thing to do!! Got another phone coming tomorrow but I WILL figure a way to fix this! Help would be appreciated tho!!
Ok could you tell us what it does when you turn it on? Does it go into cwm? Does it go into download mode and any other info about whats rong with it now that you did a factory reset?
It boots normally and phone and txt msg work, also wiring works just fine. I am not sure if the atorrent download had anything to do with but its the only thing I did between total normal operation and what I have now.
Factory reset removed titanium and other root tools I had along with everything else. Still have superuser but not sure if still root as there is no way to know and cannot download anything directly. (Wifi, not wiring)
To clarify, It seems like I can download anything except market Apps. I have more more than enough room for files, it will let me dl asphalt 6 because I have to launch the game to do so. U Prolog know that's 300 MB. Plenty of space. Settings, about this phone, status, mobile network state = connecting.... been stuck there for 2 days. Called att and they said possible similar card error. It works just fine in the wife's phone. ( same also rooted)
have you tryed reflashing the kdz with lg flasher tool?
if you dont know how follow these steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870
Not near a comp I can do that with but I will give a try either later tonight or tomorrow. Hope it works and I will post as soon as I do. Thanks a bundle!
Ya np if that dosent work might wanna talk to dark in the free assistance thread just below this one he knows more about this stuff then me.
the phone lost root. i cant get it to root again. "permission denied" i am getting new thrill tomorrow so i will root and be a bit more carefull. use this one as a practice phone. i really want to make it work. i will tinker with it and if i can get it rooted again i will try the above.
i really appreciate the help in any case!
You dont need root to flash a kdz its just tricking the program into thinking its an update.
