How to Bypass T-Mobile Google Setup screen??

Hi All,
Having trouble with my G1 (see my post below). The only remedy I see is to get past the opening tmobile Google sign up and get to the real home screen. From there...
I tried to do it through wifi but I don't have an att data plan or an unlocking code for my ATT SIM. (I did put ATT APN settings)
THoughts appreciated?
Regards, PK
BTW, why are my posts not in bold?

Your posts are not in bold until you have new reply to it.
Why would you need att plan to use your wi-fi? That part I don't get but neverless
You will need to get that unlock code to use your att sim card, there's no way around it, period.
If you want to use your phone on wi-fi with no sim card and you have root access then you can just go to this thread and follow the directions. If you don't have root access then then you need to downgrade to RC29 (using DREAIMG.nbh) and then follow the info in this thread. After it's all said and done you can either wait for OTA of the official 1.6 Donut or you can root and install the rom of your choice.
Good luck

very good, Thanks,
I did a successfully flash (I believe, sorta,... "bla, bla installation succesfull") with R29 DREAIMG.nbh from unlockr" .com" I say I believe because the only way I can tell is I can type in return, reboot,return and it reboots +it's a whole new opening screen with the Google runaround . The iffy part of "sorta...sucsesfull" of the flash is, I no longer have any access to any SD card and no ability to sync with PC.
As to unlocking the SIM card, no doubt, It will have to be done. Of the some 25 odd android websites I've been pouring over, theres no definitive statements as to just when in the process it should be done. I also don't know which of these guys are reputable Given my track record of half bricking this thing with my first flash, I'm going forward with a good dose of timidity. I'll take your comment as a go.
As far as wifi Google registration with out SIM card, I appreciate the link. I'll have to study it more but, I can't link to to my P.C. right now. I futzed with everything & follow instructions & prescriptions from everywhere for everything: adb, loaded new usb drivers, HTC drivers, android SDK-3, HTC sync (with supposedly corrected vista HTC drivers), Droid explorer, etc all day till 2 in the morning and the phone just isn't "taking calls", (or Sd's for that matter). But I'll keep trying.
Anyway thanks again for the straightening me out and the links.
Regards, PK
P.S. You can safely assume I tried everything every-which- way to get it to read SD's, that rebooting PC and the phone reformatting SD's, trying different capacities, buying another virgin card, popping the battery in and out,,, all a zillion times. Same goes for syncing. NADA.

thanks for ur information

I'm a newbie, can't post URL, wait, wait....

Please reply someone!!
Did anyone test either the flashing or especially the rooting method mentioned above? Somebody please confirm!!
I'm dying to install more apps on this stupid phone

Thumbs up!
Actually, the URL is dead.. but I tried googling the link for any mirrors and I found one on chinese website called 115.com or smth.. (I dont remember ).. I've tried this ROM... very nice bro! Removed all the annoying chinese things... and also able to root!! I've been searching for any root software to root this SCH-i559 CDMA but couldn't do this.. It's okay now...
Very Nice work... I'm now testing this ROM... and I'll request the other features.. I want.. thanks!
cheers up!!!

Is this rom is for galaxy mini?
If not why you post it here?

Of cuz this ROM is for Galaxy Mini... it's from the series of Galaxy Mini.. except that this one is for SCH-i559 (CDMA) version..
btw, I've been testing the ROM and found something.. they are;
- I can't Sign-in into my Google account
- It would be better if the camera shutter sound can be removed cuz it's so annoying with taking snap shots to my friends in our hang out..
- There's no cam-coder to record video.. I think! (I'm not sure cuz I unintentionally destroyed my stock Camera.apk and now using other 3rd party app: and when it switched to video recorder mode, it got errors and exited)
- And this one is big.. I remember when in Android 2.2 (Froyo) I can find my friends name just by typing no. according to their name in phone mode (for e.g. Justin >> 587846 then Justin's contact shows up in phone mode) After updating to GB, (I mean stock ROM also.. not only this one) that feature disappears.. we can't find our contacts only if we know their name... so, we've to type exactly their ph: no. to show up the correspondent friend from our contact which is awkward! We may only remember their name.. and for me, things like remembering only ph: no. and forget name phenomenon never happens to me... So, I want to include this feature if possible..
That's all for now... Thanks for making this ROM... will looking forward to this ROM's future updates!!!!!! =)
Thanks
UPDATE:
Now able to use Google's services after doing factory reset in recovery mode.. =)

[Q] Random Note query

Hey guys/gals
I am seriously considering looking into putting ICS on my Note by using these forums and guides etc (I am a complete knowledgeless noob when it comes to this root/flash etc etc stuff), but I would like to know the following if someone would be kind enough to answer -
1- If I tamper with my device, and if said device ever has to go back to the network operator for repairs etc, how can I wipe everything and revert back to factory settings? is it as simple as hitting factory settings? I would not want them to refuse to service/repair/replace the device if I messed around with it. So is this reversible?
2- what is the best and most simplest way to put ICS on my n7000 if I chose to go down this route and not wait for my UK network operator (Orange) to release their own one? (maybe someone can link me to a good option?)
3- If the part 2 is done, should I get rid of it and use the operator version once they release? or stick with the one I am contemplating installing.
Sorry to be such a pain in the proverbial, would appreciate the help
Kind regards
Barry,

I will try to answer in a short manner.
1. You can allways flash a stock GB or ICS no matter what you might have done to it. Atleast aslong as it is functioning properly.
2. In my opinion the best and simplest way is to flash a stock ICS through PC Oding. Here is a good guide and plenty of Stock Roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
3. I wouldnt get a operator version since they are usually even more bloated than samsungs stock version. And I dont see any benefits with a operator branded version.

Thank you Belfia,
I will consider this a little more, and it seems that I need to purchase a Micro SD to do all this? so that is next on my to-do list

Barry

update ASUS TF701T (k00c) android to latest version

Hi All.
I trust you well. I was wondering if I could request your assistance with updating my TF701T to a new version of android. I have tried many methods and none has worked. I am actually more confused now as to where to start and what to download and install. :silly:
If possible maybe direct me where I could get a step by step guide with the links to the correct downloads/procedure.
I imported the pad from USA to South Africa and barely used it.
Kind Regards
Rob

(h-tee-tee-pee-s) androidbiits.com/root-asus-transformer-pad-tf701t-easily/
probably use the versions of magisk + twrp that are linked at the site, as they are tested with that hardware -- the latest versions may not work. i do not own that particular device and am not a programmer -- just trying to help you out. search the web for info if anything is confusing in the instructions -- i can't really walk you through it, but the person at that site may be able to help you out if you get stuck.
you'll need to connect the asus pad to a computer, so you'll need the usb data cable & adb installed on the computer.
you will likely also need open gapps to get the play store + apps working. select processor type, android version, then variant. you can find it here ==> (h-tee-tee-pee-s) opengapps.org <== but i'm not sure how long that will be functional, as hosting is apparently migrating to sourceforge.
please note that there are no w's in either address mentioned previously.
here's an explanation of gapps ==> (h-tee-tee-pee-s + w's) androidfreeapks.com/apk/download-gapps-for-android/
...and there are also download links for various variations at that last address too. cheers!
you will not be able to install *the latest* version of android (it's just plain not out there as a mod for a device this old) but you *can* get something a bit newer than the stock version on it.
best of luck!

one last thing (pertaining to the very first thing you have to do) is unlock the bootloader.
(h...s + w's) asus.com/us/Tablets/The_New_ASUS_Transformer_PadTF701T/HelpDesk_Download/
you will find the utility to do so at the above site. select Android, then under "Utilities"
click "See All Downloads" - therein, the 2nd thing from the bottom in that section is the unlock tool,
which says: Unlock Device App. V1.o (there's only one thing with that name. size is 448.82 kb)
and it will only work from the stock Android version, which i assume is still functional on your device.
Magisk is apparently a newer replacement for SuperSU, which doesn't flag the system as altered...
therefore you *may not* need to install Gapps if using Magisk - that seems logical to me, but i am not certain.

thanks for the assistance Dorkus.........this is killing me....but I will keep the faith and try again

I am trying myself and cannot get the unlock tool to work, performed wipe data reset without google account and still "network error occurred" . Android version 4.4.2

Same here. I tried to contact Asus but no hope... We're completely blocked unless they do something? No other way to unlock?

greetings all, it is i, dorkus, of the house of mallorcus. haha. my name is actually reni.
xda keeps locking me out for some reason. i've now created 2 accounts (3 including the one from which this comment is posted) one even with a dedicated e-mail address just for this, but if i try to log in with either one, i get some "invalid" whatever message. admins: what have i said that was grossly incorrect? those links may not be presented in absolutely the most coherent way, but they're the best reasonable explanations of the procedure involved that i could find with about an hour or 2 of research, which i did because of intending to get one of these devices myself (which has now occurred! yay). besides that, who else with greater experience has chimed in on this thread? yes, i've reset my password, on both accounts. after i do so, both times: same "invalid" message. it's wasted over an hour of my time, when i'm just trying to help these people. it's highly annoying & if it continues, well, they'll just have to go it on their own.
to the point:
as luck would have it,
i was able to acquire one of these devices, still in superb condition, for a great deal from ebay. i have been in contact with Asus support & the word is: it's an EOL product, so the unlock servers have been shut down & there is currently no recourse end users have for unlocking their devices. i feel it's doubtful that they'll fire up a server again, but maybe we can pester them enough to develop a fastboot unlock tool? it sure would have been nice if it worked like that in the first place, but oh well, like the song says:
you can't always get what you want.
i will surely let you all know if am able to make any progress on unlocking my TF701T.
footnote: i also have a TF700 model which is in fact unlocked, has TWRP installed, and is running Android 5.1.1 {zombie-pop} which works a bit better than the Cyanogen mod flavor that it came to me with: somewhat improved user experience, maybe a little snappier too, but speed improvement is fairly minimal. most importantly, almost all of my apps work on it - a few don't even have an installer for Android 4 at the Play Store. the 701 is noticeably more responsive than the 700 model, even running 4.2.2 - the main issue with it for me is not being able to run all of my apps, some of which are purchased. i'd probably sell the 700 if i could get everything on the 701. oh well. it's an excellent reader + portable video viewing device even at stock. it's definitely worth what i paid in the condition received, but it'd be even better if i could unlock the bootloader & get a newer version of Android on it! i could possibly even be so happy that i'd float a couple bux Tim Duru's way, the guy primarily responsible for porting Android 6+7 (the latter of which apparently does not have a working camera) to this device.
footnote #2: the first day i got the 701, i tried to do a firmware update (proper region, latest available. full battery charge. the battery in the one i picked up is in fantastic condition, the thing is practically brand new + functions nicely... but now Asus won't let me unlock it, even though it's well out of warranty! grrrrr) which crashed mid-way & then it proceeded to get into an update / crash boot loop. i was pretty sad for a while, but did not give up & found a way to restore the original firmware (which turned out to be a very minor upgrade) from the SD card, thanks to information in a post here in the xda forums. that post is the link which follows. my thing would still go into fastboot (albeit slightly corrupted) + recovery mode, which enabled an SD card firmware flash to happen {...and lo, my little slab of Jelly Bean was resurrected...} so i did not require the NvFlash tool at all... but it's still there at the provided links in that thread.
to summarize the procedure:
1) format an SD card to fat32
2) download the appropriate firmware from Asus [**please note the region: if you flash the firmware from a wrong region onto your device, you will -hard- brick it + will then be required to use the NvFlash tool**]
3) un-zip the firmware (not completely, just remove nesting - so you have only one zip file)
4) rename the one remaining zip file: t4_sdupdate.zip
5) put that file on the root directory of SD card, then into the tablet (while turned off)
6) invoke recovery mode (power + vol down) & choose the recover [RCK] box (hit volume up, while it's the selected of the 3 choices) and from there the firmware update happens automatically. you can apparently upgrade to any official firmware by this method, but **cannot** downgrade... so i'd suggest leaving it at 4.2.2 until we are 100% sure that there are zero bootloader unlock options, because apparently the unlock tool, from what i understand, only works from the original 4.2.2
without further ado:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf701/tf701t-nvflash-unbrick-solutiontested-t3742848
it's now a few hours later from my original post, near bedtime for me, and the xda gods let me log into this account to make this edit... and it's even allowing URLs now! will wonders never cease? not sure what the problem was earlier, but it was quite annoying. anyway, if it lets me log into the account with the dedicated xda e-mail address, that's the one i'll use in future. username is renigade.

Hope someone can help you fix your N9.

Bad news odin and such wont help. Right now you are what's called soft locked you have 1 recourse and that is factory reset. Using adb it might be possible to pull off a backup of the file system but that is still it. If you get a readable backup you are still going to need factory reset. The only thing that would have helped would be twrp and nandroid backups you could have loaded them or used twrp to mount the emmc to copy off. And since you are stock you might have encrypted the emmc and sd card and if that is the case nobody can help you you only have 1 option and that is factory reset and restore from syncronized backup.
What's more is this isn't an issue of a maligned 3rd party theme needing to be overwritten it is from an official store on a stock device. Good news is you seem to have signed into samsung cloud backup and perhaps linked a google account to the phone so the auto backup should restore your contacts and txt messages.
