ok so I flashed the new mytouch froyo to my G1 and now that its booted up I need a sim card to get in can someone give me instructions to where I can somehow get in thanks! I can do anything involving the recovery terminal because I can not use fastboot. PLEASE HELP THANKS!
Why do you need fast boot? All you need is ADB. If you don't have it installed/don't know now to use it - you shouldn't be messing with Android phone at all.
Here is the info on now to skip registration or register with no SIM card. It's written for RC30 but should be very similar for later ROMS.
Good luck

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???
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.
Ok I had the latest 1.61 update (I think that was the version), followed the instructions at
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Dream_Rooting
To the letter however now I am thinking that I have a rogers dream.
I downgraded to rc 29 and followed the directions flashing with CyanogenMod 4.2.12.2
When booting I get stuck at the g1 boot screen, going into bootloader mode looks different than before instead of the colors I get three android icons at the bottom on a skateboard and in a yellow line says serial IO.
I'm kinda lost at this point can anyone help? I pray I didn't brick my phone.
I'm pretty new to Android, recently switched from WM. Be gentle...
can u go into recovery mode? home + phone button
p.s. mind you that this isnt the proper place to be posting "problems"
wrong section, sorry
i will request it be moved to the correct section where you are more likely to get a useful reply
oops, sorry about the section...I know better than that =( I can access recovery mode. Problem is that sd card is no longer recognized by computer =( Was hoping there was something stupid and small I missed but looks like I'll need to get a new sd card and re-flash update to original.
Are you able to go to recovery console if yes go to recovery console and flash the rom again.
sounds like u killed ur sd card :-x and your sd card is exactly what was allowing the rom to boot... it was a hero rom wasnt it lol
nevermind i reread your post...doesnt sound like a cyan caused problem....but cyanogen requires you to flash something before u flash his newer stuff...you should pay attention to BaconMod's stuff
Did you flash the 1.6OTA update from HTC that is required first?
Well Looks like I killed the sd card somehow. I put the sd card into my camera and back into my phone and works fine now...go figure.

hey add me to my gtalk and i helo u step by step i think i know what u did cuz the same thing happened to me when i rooted the first time and those guys are being rude so if u want my help this is my gtalk [email protected]
I had this G1 around and I want to root it. I'm currenting using my HD2, so this was sitting in the draw. Now I read alot of the threads on how to root it. First I believe you have to downgrade to RC29 build. The phone had DMD64. That may have been the first mistake. I read on The unlockr site that they had a procedure that may work with DMD64. TOO LATE!
I borrowed a sim card from a family member and went through the steps and had it at the point that the RC29 was in the phone. I never had a chance to finish rooting it, because I had to give back their sim. I used mine, and all I get is that the phone can't connect to the google servers, and E:can't open/cache/recovery/command" is at the top of the screen. I use my HD2 everyday, so the sim is good.
Since I can get into the bootloader and the recovery screen, I would think the phone is noy a brick yet. My sim card works fine in my HD2. I already flashed a custom rom in that.
I read the threads about rooting without a sim card and data plan, I think shouldn't have to, since I have a working sim.
The last thing I did try was the ALL-IN ONE-ROOTING KIT BY Abosutex3.
Is it the radio?
Recovery img not loaded?
Any help would be great. If not, I'll just toss it. I would like to see if I can fix it.
Thanks
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.
