Cant get past dum activation screen after flashing dreaimg.nbh and cupcake

i dont have a data plan now so i cant activate the phone and i cant use adb cause its not working on win7 for me..is there anyway i can just flash spl and radio and skip the recovery image? I tried someones sim but it just says error when i try to register.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.. or Confirm this is correct. but..
If you're on an official rom you're out of luck, but if you can update to an ADP rom no login will be required. It's not a SPL or radio issue, purely rom based.

im not sure wat ADP is..but im trying to root and i followed the guide for one click root from unlockr, is there anyway for me to use a ADP rom?

What phone are you using on what network? Was the other person's sim card on the same network? did they have an android data plan?
ADP means Android Developer Phone.

Oh both sims were tmobile US, and the other phone was a moto zn5 so it wasnt a g1 plan.

So I'm *assuming* you're on a G1. You basically have three choices, either goto a t-mobile store and beg one of their techs to let ya use their data to register, find someone else with a g1+data and ask to use their sim card or go adp.
The downside of going with an adp rom is you'll loose the t-mobile branded stuff like tmo ringtones, the myfaves app, ?youtube? (not sure on this one, you should do some reading first or hope someone else chips in).
If you really need your phone now, and are able to install custom roms the adp version of donut can be found --here-- Note: I run the official roms so am not too well versed in ADP vs. AOSP+ADP but it looks like you may actually want the latter(AOSP+ADP)

i dont have root i just installed dreaimg.nbh then flashed cupcake via home+end the press alt+l then alt+s.So i dont have any custom recovery images on my g1.

this first:

im up to this but at setup screen:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/
can i rename the recovery image to update.zip the load it in recovery mode?

No, no renaming the recovery image.
Ok, so let me get this straight. You unrooted a rooted phone, to install the official cupcake so you could "one touch" root it which installs a custom recovery image @ the same time?
this is starting to hurt my head...

i never rooted before i was just following the instructions because i had 1.6/donut on my phone.all i wanted to do was install a hero rom and the one click is the shortest way i knew.

Gotcha, headaches gone but unfortunately it looks like your stuck. It appears this process *assumes* you have a data connection(for the login process) and without this most guides out there are going to be useless, especially at this point.
I'd say add data for a month or w/e then remove it if you must once done doing what you're doin... or go back to looking for someone with data that can help ya get logged in. Bout the only ways out I can forsee atm.. Wish I could be more help...

thanks for the help
I was gonna get flex-pay at Tmo since i hate being tied down to contracts and it can have a g1 data plan added.

alright, cool. Ya, i just got it from someone else wiser than I that without data you've got a long road ahead of ya getting your phone back up n running.

You can always do it the old-fashioned way... Just downgrade to RC29, login with WiFi. Then do the root process that way. Only takes 15min at most.

There's a way to bypass it with rooted ROMs, of which RC29 is one. You can. There's a whole guide on how to do it.

cannot update prl or profile?...help

i running pancake rom 1.5 and i noticed today i could not update my profile or my prl settings. it doesn't give me an error but it says "nothing available" for both. this is weird as usually it does something for me. i master reset the phone and reset my MSL as well after i got my code...still no change.
is this normal or what can i do to get this working? i think i have the latest prl btw!

anybody? and yes i searched before asking. i just need to know if this is abnormal behavior.

Try updating your radio. Fresh has it on his site, just dont do the new 2.1 one, you want the other one he has out. I think its like 1.56.
I did that and I have the proper PRL now. Just reflash it as an update.zip.

What PRI does your phone say you have?

yeah but can't you brick your phone by doing so?

That may or may not even fix your issue. You should always see something along the lines of "applying your profile" or whatever when you do the update profile. There isn't always a PRL update so there are times you will get the error that nothing new is available.
Also, you should know that there is a fix for the RUU since you tried to call me out for assisting people (for a small charge) via logmein

all it does it say it's checking, than says no update available for either. i find this weird. im not running stock, im running a custom 1.5 rom.

You have the same info as me for PRI/PRL. At a minimum... you're at least current.

Make a nandroid backup, download the one from the other post, restore that one and see if it works. Then you can go back to your other backup as soon as its done.

If it is saying CHECKING and says NO UPDATE AVAILABLE.......Then it is working. You have the proper PRI and PRL.
It's not going to update anything if there isn't one...
You can brick your phone by updating the Radio, but I think more people have bricked it trying to RUU...With a rooted phone, you take that chance with anything that you flash.

DarchDroid and PRL

How can I get in to change the PRL on DarchDroid 2.6.5?

"network" its in the market.

opps, meant to be ##755#

eh i just restore back to my fresh 1.1 backup to do that.

As has been said, nandroid back the another ROM and update, then come back. I just barely got around to getting PRL 60665 by going back to FreshToast v2b2. Darchdroid is an AOSP ROM and is not carrier specific, so it doesn't support PRL updating. Darch could add this, I think, but I don't really think it's worth his time. I imagine it would take a lot of work.

I'm trying to get into the service menu, not just a PRL update.

Alright, on DC 2.08.1 and it doesn't seem to be working either. Neither ##755# or ##768# will get me into any menus.

Try ##DATA#. Just a wild guess.

Nothing. Time to get Logcat going I guess.

Logcat for anyone interested. DC doesn't work, and neither does Fresh 2.0c.
Alright, got it to work on Aloysius 1.0. ##DATA# anyway, still can't get in to change my PRL.

go back to stock 2.1 update the app from there, then backup the .apk (astro file explorer has a tool that allows you to do this) then install it in the other builds

which file is it in? I can't find it

its called com.core.apk or something like that im not sure where it hangs out

Yeah, it's something like that in system/app

sprint_core.apk in /system/app there may be an odex. i always rm NameOfApp.*
if you delete the apk it may cause problems(maybe. didnt for me but has for others). you also wont be notified of vm's. youll have to call to check. on a 2.1 rom, that is. thats how it worked for me anyway.
personally, my vm isnt working on my new device. like it never set itself up correctly. if anyone should happen to have a link to some instructions to set this up, that would be fantastic. I hate calling the silly people at sprint. thank you

it didnt work. i removed the original, flashed yours. still have the undelivered message, the activation message. nothing is working, i cant figure it out. and when i called sprint, they reset my vm, so i lost messages and had to set up everything again...

FYI to Impaler, your VVM version in your sig works for those in areas where an official update has not rolled through yet.
Don't know if you are aware, but Sprint recently updated the VVM software to version T.5.1.0.48 (here in TX it was updated the last week of October). Note that Sprint CSR will not be able to help you reset it unless you are on a Sense ROM. Period.
Two options to fix on your non-Sense ROM... there is an updated .apk floating around on these boards (might need to PM someone for it). Get it and install via your file manager.
Or...
Other way is to nandroid your current ROM, then flash a Sense ROM like Fresh's most current. Then, update your PRL and Profile, then go into the VVM and press Menu and update Sprint VVM.
Then, either try to nandroid back to your original ROM and check to see if that does it (haven't tried that, but it might work)... or else... yes, you will need to pull the updated com.coremobility.app.vnotes from the Sense ROM and install the pulled .apk into your new ROM.
Hope this helps.

mr. implaler, I have used yours for the last weeks successfully, so thank you. I just ran into the same problem with the mandatory upgrade, and it is an update i did before I rooted my phone. the VM did work this morning on MUIU but i loaded MYN and that is when my issue started.
Hope someone can firgure it out
thanks again implaler

I had 9016 in the blocked texts list. Hope this helps you.

Excellent...let me add to this...
I suppose using variations of ROMS that don't include VVM and block 9016 caused this issue.
You can unblock 9016 by going to your account online, under "My Devices," then "My Preferences." Scroll down to the "Limits and permissions" section. You will see the "Block Texts" link there.

change PRL

Hello guys and thanks for any help.
i got a hero cdma non sprint, but i learn how to root it with u guys in xda.
i root a few hero's but by mistake y use a rom tha install a sprint PRL to the phone.
PRL its 60660 and need to change it to 03494 like my hero. the phone works but the signal its poor and evdo slow. there a way that i can use the PRL from my hero? i got AOSOMOD 0.9.9.2 with froyo.

ok i try to backup my PRL using QPST but when i have to ##3424# and then add the port USB/QC Diagnostic wont dectect it. if i remove detect the phone.
qpst have issues in win 7 x64? did have to do it in xp only thanks.

I think the easiest way is to nandroid backup what you have now... then wipe and flash a sense based rom ... then you can simply go into about phone and update prl like normal... then restore your backup

Manually Load PRL?
Is there not a way to download the latest PRL and manually install without having to go through the trouble of flashing ROMs back and forth? I'm surprised there's not an app for loading these yet.

For those of you looking for cutom PRLs or good instructions on how-to do either a manual update (not the system update in sense) or a manual downgrade, look in the thread by mattcrystal about PRL 60678, and the 2 threads about modded PRLs started by Bierce22.
