Rooting my HTC G1 - Possible Brick? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, new to the forums and general HTC rooting/flashing so bare with me.
I've rooted and flashed my HTC G1 successfully before but I decided I wanted to move over to Cyanogens ROM so I wiped my G1 and started over.
I started following this guide http ://theunlockr. com/2010/04/26/how-to-root-the-htc-g1dream/
and all was going well until I rebooted and realised I had to register the phone again, so I went through the process of enabling the WiFi since I don't have a Data Plan.
I got to the stage where I'm trying to bypass the login screen by using the adb shell etc.
But I can't seem to get the HTC device to connect, I'm unsure if the drivers installed properly, but I've plugged my G1 into my computer before and it's worked fine.
I can still boot into Camera + Power / Home + Power fine, so I don't think it's a real brick. But I can't get around the registration issue. Sorry if this was a wall of text, I'd be thankful for any help or guidance.
Cheers.

Bump, I'm in urgent need of help with this guys.

Haha try this: http://phandroid.com/2010/07/12/bypass-the-android-setup-tutorial/
It's a new article and I can comfirm that it works on 2.2, but I am not sure if it works on RC29. If it doesn't work, you need to either borrow somebody's simcard who has a data plan or reinstall adb.

[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...

G1 Help! Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Hi guys! Congrats for doing such good work!
I have a HTC Dream (T-mobile G1) which was locked at T mobile. I purchased a code online
and I unlocked it to all networks. The phone had the 1.6 Android version but I don't remember
the radio version. I downgraded it to RC29 in order to root it and install some newer version like
FROYO. The thing is the following, before I did all this I FORGOT TO TICK THE USB DEBUGGING
And now it turns on and I am on welcome screen (Tap the android for registering....)(when I have a sim card)
or no sim card and that is it (when it has no sim in it).
The problem is that I cannot install any update.zip or do any recovery etc...But I am thinking that I probably
do not have root access yet in order to do any of these. The problem now is that I stuck and I don't know what else
to do. Is there any way I can turn it all back the way it was? Or try something else?
Plus when I connect the phone to the pc it doesn't show up like a G1, it shows up as an Android device
which leads adb not to see it under devices! I tried all ways out there to make my pc recognize it as G1, but nothing.
Could anyone help? Thanking you in advance, and sorry for the long message!
Don't worry it happens to many, even if you had adb ticked it would be off by default when you downgraded. Just follow this guide, the section where it says bypass Google sign in with WiFi

stuck like chuck. HELP!

hi everybody,
I'm stuck!
I' tried everything I can think of, I've search hi and lo and I cant find a fix for my problem. My phone for the last several months has been working flawlessly with twrp/trickdroid but since there dosen't seem to be any more support for trick droid I decided to put another rom on the phone. Now I've never had an issue doing things this way but something is screwed up and I could use someone who is smarter than me help. I wiped the phone and now I cant get my phone and pc to communicate. Everytime I try to adb sideload i get an error stating device not found. twrp recovery is still on the phone and i can still boot into the boot loader if needed. I just cant put my new rom on the phone. I've done everything i can think of, searched everywhere i think possible. this isn't my first android that iv modded but it is the first time i haven't been able to find a solution for my problem. please help!

You can do this: - lock bootloader
- power on device
- enable adb debugging on device
- make sure you have adb and fasboot working corectly
- connect device via usb to PC
- run RUU with administrator rights
- and from there on just follow the instructions given by software

you really need the 2-4 lines i mentioned up for this to work
Well I managed to lock my bootloader and that, but when i tried to install the RUU it gave me a error. I think it might be an older version.
I think I'm going to need the 2.00.771.3 version :S
I think my phone is useless now. A bit of info, I tried factory resetting my phone (I have rooted my phone prior to this and stupidly thought that factory reset would get rid of the root) but when I reset my phone after the inital setup had gone through all menus it said setup has stopped working. Then my phone wouldn't work no apps or home screen, I could recieve calls and then go onto my settings at the top but nothing more then that, I'm not sure how I can get my phone working again now lol

Noob here - screwed up my T-Mobile One M9?

Hi XDA community,
I'm scared out of my mind. Tried rooting for the first time ever, but don't actually know what I'm doing. Using various guides I found in these forums, I:
1. Used HTCdev to unlock the bootloader
2. Used ADB to install TWRP 3.0.2-0
3. Used TWRP to install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76.zip
Once that finished, my phone tried booting up (the white HTC logo) but now it has the red development build text at the bottom.... and then it gets into an infinite boot loop.
I don't know how to fix my phone. Please someone here with guidance, please help.
I've got the same identical issue.
I was able to get out of the boot loop by holding volume up and power, and I got back to download mode. From there, since the SU update I tried to install boot looped me (I was following this tutorial), I jumped ahead and just installed cm13 as I was planning to.
This install went fine, but then I ran into the issue of the rom not recognizing my sim card. I've been researching this problem and I guess I need to update my baseband? I tried for hours but I do not know how to accomplish this, and couldn't figure it out for the life of me. This thread on the cyanongenmod forum seemed to be the closest thing to help I could find, but still it didn't help very much.
So at this point now I'm trying to back out and unroot my phone and get everything back to factory settings; it doesn't feel worth it anymore to me since I've just had trouble every step of the way. I've been trying to follow this post to get back to at least a usable factory rom. But I can't even get this one to install because I cannot access my phone through adb while it's in download mode. Furthermore the instructions are just confusing me because I'm not so versed in the nomenclature of these procedures.
Is there anyone that can help me get back to complete stock t-mobile sense? Or if not, help me get my cm13 rom to recognize my sim card so I can at least have my phone working in some capacity? I'd be tremendously grateful of either. I'm really in over my head here and quite scared I won't be able to figure this out.
