I've not found any usefull manual to skip the android logo after booting (android 1.5), I'm stuck, can I install another bootloader without root (guess not) ? Maybe I'll better sell the phone, with cm I never had this kind of problems.
You could try flashing an upgrade/downgrade in fastboot(power + camera); you could root it afterwards.

ori bootloader: couldn't do that.
I got past the homescreen:
on adb: am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

Maybe you should spell out what, EXACTLY, you have on it and how it got there.

really don’t you just have to:
1. go to rc29
2. on “click android” part setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1
3. on adb: am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings
1. Just put in whatever SIM you are using, then on the activation screen, hit Menu then click on APN. Click add APN and put your company’s internet settings in (ask your provider for these settings). Then add the data plan to your account for the day and remove it after you have activated the phone OR get a friend with a data plan to activate it for you.
The following procedure can be used if none of the above are available to you…
I. Getting Back to RC29
1. This procedure requires you to be on an old version of Android (RC29 aka Android 1.0) so you must use our unroot procedure first and get to RC29, DO NOT DO THE STEP THAT TAKES YOU BACK TO CUPCAKE, skip it and come back to here once you are on RC29.
How To Get Back to RC29
2. You also need a WiFi connection to do this procedure.
II. Setting Up ADB
1. After you are back to RC29, follow our How To Setup ADB procedure EXACTLY as it is written. Once you are able to see your phone’s serial number after typing ADB devices in the command prompt, then come back to this procedure.
IIIa. Activating the Phone Over WiFi WITHOUT a SIM.
1. Borrow someone’s SIM card then procedure to Section IIIb.
IIIb. Activating the Phone Over WiFi WITH a SIM but No Data Plan.
1. Turn on the phone, you will get a Touch Here to Begin Screen.
2. Open the phone’s keyboard and hit enter once then type the following on the phone’s keyboard:
setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1
3. Then hit enter.
4. Hit enter AGAIN and type the following on the phone’s keyboard:
telnetd
5. Then hit enter.
6. With the phone still plugged in and the command prompt still up on your computer screen from the ADB process, type the following in the command prompt on your computer with hitting an enter at the end of each line:
cd\
cd c:\AndroidSDK\Tools\
adb devices
*this should bring up a serial number if your phone is connected, if not then redo the setup ADB process.
7. Now, in command prompt on your computer, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:
adb shell
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings
8. On your phone should pop up the Android Settings screen, you can now choose a Wifi network to connect to then hit back and finish the activation process over Wifi. Enjoy!

Guys, I just found this CIME at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512530&highlight=hero+cime
Was wondering if:
a. it will install onto a rooted Hero
b. if a rooted Hero will still be able to detect, download and install OTA updates
Advice is much appreciated, thanks!
I just rooted my Hero using this technique and confirm that it works:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/08/how-to-gain-root-access-on-your-htc-hero/
The new CIME is nicely installed, and that works well too. Now I'm just not sure if the phone will receive OTA updates. The only thing different is the fact that the phone is rooted.
Gulp.
Right. Thinking logically, since I rooted my phone by following these steps:
15. If the serial number and the word fastboot next to it popped up, then go back to the command prompt on the computer and type
fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img
16. Once the phone boots up into the recovery screen type the following in the command prompt on the computer:
adb shell mount /system
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb shell reboot
17. Once the phone reboots, click the Menu button and click Settings.
18. Goto Applications > Development and check the USB debugging on.
19. While the phone is still plugged in, goto the Command Prompt still up on your computer and type:
adb devices
You should see a serial number, which means the computer is seeing the device.
20. Then type:
adb shell
su
The phone should pop up an su request. Click Always Allow on the phone.
21. Type:
reboot
Logically, I haven't really changed anything else on the phone aside from:
a. copying in 2 APKs, one SU and one Superuser.
b. Setting permissions.
hmmm?
It does work, but with the IME I can only type simplified Chinese in Stroke input though (traditional Chinese is okay for Cangjie)
Now I'd be appreciated if I can get help of getting the attached "default.xml" into /system/customize/CID for displaying Chinese.
That is strange. Did you set TouchInput Chinese settings to use Pinyin?
I actually used the other method to did mine... but I think both ways works ^^
I installed the CIME on my rooted Hero with the method described in the linked thread, and it works like a charm.
Ok so this all started 7 hours ago.
I did a factory reset and I couldn't get passed the gmail account login. I tried multiple times, and tried resetting. Didn't work.
So I looked online to see if I can use wifi, and I could.
http://modmygphone.com/forums/showth...1891#post51891
I updated my drivers, downloaded Android SDK.
I got up to the part where I type " adb shell "
It says no devices found. Please help. Thanks in advance :]
Currently I am in stock ROM RC29.
I am trying to do this on the site above:
"6. Now type this on your G1 keyboard..
<enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter>
7. Now.. Open the command prompt on your PC ( Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt )
8. Type "adb shell" without the quotes.
(Just in case typing that doesn't do anything.. Navigate to the folder you've unzipped the ADB Files and type there instead)
9. Then when the '$' comes out .. type this:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings
9. Take a look at your G1 and now it'll be in the WiFi settings section. Configure it.. Connect to your network.. And done!"
I find this guide:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719 much easier to follow
the code
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools needs to be typed in the cmd before typing in adb shell.
thanks for the guide, but I followed what you said/the guide said, still the same result =/

Do you have the android-sdk-windows file on the root of your C drive?
Debugging
Did you make sure to add a path for adb in the environmental variables tab on the pc, and also make sure that usb debugging is checked off in the settings>applications>development tab.
It is in my C drive or root folder.
I can't access settings because my phone's stuck on the login screen.
The G1 is a loan from a friend, they want me to help fix it.
I get to the final part here in the list of rooting the G1:
10. The Final step is to type
"am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings"
After I do that, in ADB all I get is this sign >. I get no settings menu popup in the phone at all. It stays at the no sim card / emergency calls only screen.
Fixing the phone for a friend - absolutely no way I can obtain a sim to get past this - no sim card at all. Its a fresh downgrade to RC29 to begin the root.
The reboot command works on the phone perfectly. ADB recognizes the device. Permission Denied in ADB when trying to SU.
I need to be able to bypass the activation AND the No Sim / Emergency calls only screen, thats my goal, to root, and install recovery and finally cyanogen.
Do have experience with ADB. Is definitely installed properly. Driveres are definitely in right.

I think there's a newer dreaimg.nbh file available that allows you to skip activation. Do that and install the 1-click-root app and be happy.
Nah I cant find it after tons of looking around. I just need to get that settings screen to pop up. But nothing........

go here it is the best place to root your g1 I use it for everything, it is da bomb
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/
That requires adb to be enabled, which I believe it is NOT enabled on a tmobile firmware.
There was another sort of bug in the tmobile firmware... stuff you type might just be run in a console as root. I don't recall if it applies to where you're stuck, but it might... I think it is... try this:
Flip open the keyboard and type this: (don't worry that it doesn't show up on the screen)
<enter>sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES ('device_provisioned', 1);"<enter>reboot<enter>
Where "<enter>" is actually pressing the enter button.
It should reboot at this point and hopefully it will come up to the REGISTRATION screen instead of the NOSIM screen.
Then type:
<enter>am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings<enter>
(again, won't see anything, so just type very carefully...)
If all works as planned, this should pop up the settings program, you can go into network and activate WiFi, press the <back> button a few times to return to the REGISTRATION screen, then you should be able to register (if you want). Or, when you activate the wifi, you could just type in <enter>telnetd<enter> and log in through telnet, root, and be happy.
Note: I believe that you can enable adb using this command:
<enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter>
** if you do this, then you can do the other two commands I showed you over adb rather than blind.

That isn't going to work for him since he doesn't have a simcard.
oh ok I didnt realize he did not have a sim card, my bad.
Without a SIM card, you're pretty SOL. It has to be in RC29 or RC7 firmware to be able to access the WiFi via that vulnerability, so you'd have to start there. I don't know how far you can get with SIM message, though.
Well, just search the development on this forum you can do anything even if you don't know how, and my last g1 i had to pass everything like you then root then unlock and done alll of that and now runing flawlesly. Don't be afraid of searching. And p.s. you don't need a sim card for anything after passing the login screen.

It is a really good idea to read through the entire thread before responding and making yourself look *really* foolish.
So I've been trying to register my G1 without the data plan, but it's not working. I have RC9 on it, but when I try to enable adb and get root access, it doesn't seem to work. I tried rebooting it with the command and it worked. I don't know what I'm doing wrong at this point. :l
its a 3 step process
1. downgrade to RC29 or below (i used DREAIMG.nbh)
2. enable ADB (even though you are seeing the GUI and CLI is still going on in the background
to reboot the phone you typed in <enter>reboot<enter> try typing this next one in (if u dont already have the android sdk u should download it)
<enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter> )
3. use adb to force open wifi setting menu
(adb shell)
(am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings)
try this thread for more help, and next time pls use search button
theres countless threads on this
I got it to work now, thanks.
Note: this will void your warrenty, and also I will not be responsible for the bricked devices, so proceed with caution,
Read all the instructions carefully, before proceeding, and check if this methods suites you...
Also remeber if you are going to hit thanks for me one time you should thank these guys 100 times, their methods were the ones which helped me post this.

As all of you know this phone was condemned due to its lack of a proper method to unlock the bootloader, so many of the guys banned this phone, I never knew before I switched into it from a Lumia 820 in a refurbished market, when I ealized this phone was not easily breakable I was so worried and cursed much for the seller to cheating me. Also I knew I was going for a cheap buy and I realized I was a fool... but not for long. Enough chit chat.... let's go in deep
*the proper and extremely unofficial method of performing the tasks mentioned in the title..... for ESA-XXX
This method is different than usual way, it can be summerized into;
1. Root your device, and install any CWM version
2. Unlock the bootloader
3. Install the required version of CWM
4. Install any ROM via CWM methods.
Rooting
* Important: You need to be in the firmware update of v20a check it in settings > about device > software
otherwise update to it using LG PC studio
or
this thread (here), but remember you need to do this only once, if you are thinking to do it better in next time, you will relock your bootloader, and that's it...
1. You need files from the following links(I don't have any online space so email me a request on [email protected] and i will mail back you the files) to proceed, so you better download them and copy them to C:/unlock
2. Then open a command prompt as Administrator, and type 'cd C:/unlock'
3. boot into stock recovery by turning off your device and turn it back ON while pressing volume down key. (Vol. Dwn key + power key)
4. Connect it via USB to the computer and type in the cmd;
Code:
adb sideload Superuser.zip
5. After the installation, choose 'reboot to system' from the device to turn it on. And then install an app called 'root checker' from the play store and check if your device is rooted, and if it is, say 'yeah' a bit louder
6. Now install unsecured recovery;
typing in your CMD; make sure you type one by one and hit ENTER
Code:
adb push recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-p880.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
cat/mnt/sdcard/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-p880.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
sync
at this point proceed to next major move without hesitating...
Unlocking the bootloader
1. If you are in the same CMD close it and re-open as admin, and type 'cd C:/unlock' and type one by one of the following and hit ENTER;
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /sys/firmware/fuse/odm_reserved >/data/local/tmp/odm_reserved
echo 0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000040000000c8 > /data/local/tmp/odm_reserved
echo /data/local/tmp/odm_reserved >/sys/firmware/fuse/odm_reserved
2. Boot to bootloader
close the early CMD and open a new one as admin;
type;
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
at this point you will see LG logo
the type;
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and press volume down key and then press power key to proceed (your screen won't show you anything)
at this point you will see nothing your screen will be turn black, count to 30 seconds and remove the battery, and put it back wait to check if the phone starts automatically, if not turn it on.
After the power on connect it via USB and type in the CMD;
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
after the LG logo shown up wait to see if anither screen is shown or a black screen may be,
and then type;
Code:
fastboot getvar all
wait for 15 sec. And remove the battery, put it back and turn the device on.
Now go to the hidden menu(3845*#880#) and check bootloader unlock status. Viola... Unlocked.... Say 'Yeah' more louder than before.
Flashing latest CWM in a non harmful way to the unlock state.
Your downloaded CWM file looks as;
Code:
recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.*.*-p880.img
* - denotes any numbers
1. copy it to C:/unlock, and open a CMD as admin and cd into unlock folder, and type; type one by one and hit ENTER.
Code:
adb push recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.*.*-p880.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
cat /mnt/sdcard/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.*.*-p880.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
sync
after boot into recovery after turning your phone off and powering on with (vol. Down + power) combination. Tadaa..... you're in the latest CWM...... now give away big load 'yeah' s...... :laugh:
Now proceed with any ROM flashing, but remember use only the flashing via CWM recovery. I don't suggest any other methods....
