Ok i have an g1 thats unregistered and i kow how to activate it through wifi but i cant because i dont have an router i was wonder if someone could explain to me how to bypass this without activating my g1 it said or how i send these commands with adb
Now, copy a busybox binary to /data/local/busybox with adb push, and then connect to your phone with adb shell, and give the busybox binary execute permissions (i.e. chmod 755 /data/local/busybox)
busybox has a telnet applet, so you can do:
busybox telnet 127.0.0.1
to get a telnet session with root access.
- If you don't want to register the phone at all, you can set the app.setupwizard.disable property to 0 to prevent registration. Once you have an adb shell session open, type the following:
setprop app.setupwizard.disable 1
and then reboot. once it loads back up, it should bypass the registration screen all-together
but i am so confused thanks for the help
Do you have root? Most custom ROMs give you an option to skip.
i was in the process of rooting my g1 when i had downgraded it but i couldnt finish it because i had to activate it when i got it it was already activated

It's been so long since I rooted that I can't remember if there are any other options. I think when first I got mine, there was no way to root with wifi. I couldn't even register while roaming, and had to drive 40 miles (nearest T-Mo tower) just to use my G1 for the first time. That sucked!
is there a way to bypass it without using wifi or can i install a new rom or something
If you are rooted, then try a new rom. Most of them will have the option to skip.
how i know if im rooted
every time i use this code in adb
adb shell
cd /dev/block
dd if=/dev/block/bml3 of=/sdcard/bml3.bak
copy to sdcard / upload
i get a "/dev/block/blm3: cannot open for read: permission denied"
what did i do wrong? my phone is unock i have a app called superuser and busybox
Thanks in advance
Type "su" first. You need super user permission, i.e. your phone must be rooted.
i tried that it gives me the error after
cd /dev/block
Edit: i just spamed the code and now it work but i gives me error "cannot open for read: no such file or directory"
Edit: when i use the su command i get a permission denied error. and everything afterwords. i have the superuser app and the busybox app i used the one - click rogram to unlock my samsung galaxy s i9000m from bell. i also updated to the latest firmware could that be the issue? it seems like i can look into the file(using astro file manager) and see that the file exists but i cant read or write to it.
ahh seems like superuser wasnt updated to 2.3.3 .... got it thanks man
From your phone, not adb, try:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/bml3 of=/sdcard/bml3.bak
Then connect your phone to your PC and copy bml3.bak manually.
The flex cable inside my g1 broke and so i replaced it. prior to this it worked perfectly. However, now it is not picking up any sim card whatsoever - i have factory reset it and it is locked ot t-mobile. I have tried a friends T-mobile sim and this did not work, i also tried a "giffgaff" sim, checking to see if it would detect it, still nothing.
I've been following this guide:

And cannot figure out how to get past:

How do i give busybox permissions :S?
Nevermind, got it. Used http://blog.vgod.tw/tutorial-activate-g1-via-wifi-without-a-sim-card/ as well to figure it out, this was posted deeper down in the thread posted before.
I hope I'm not just being an idiot here, but I am having a lot of trouble with adb shell right now.
When starting the shell, instead of starting in $ it defaults to #.
However, whenever I attempt to use 'su', I receive an access denied error. I am not receiving any prompt on the device as I normally would.
At first I thought this was just related to CM7, but even flashed back to rooted 1.0.1 I am getting this issue.
Can anyone offer some insight?
Thanks
Edit: Damn, forgot to add [Q] to the title. Sorry!
Hey guys, im currently trying to unlock my bro's captivate. (the seller sent me a locked phone to be use in malaysia).
so here's my problem, i tried simple method using generate code.bat but it says "no nv_data.bin found". so it fails, then i search more on methods to unlock, i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831569
so when i get to step to fix permission denied .
If you receive a permission denied error, you can fix it by typing the following commands from an ADB shell (type "adb shell" at the DOS command prompt) or from within a terminal on the phone:
su
chmod 777 /efs/nv_data.bin
exit
exit
is says permission denied. please enlighten me on this. or recomend me any other methods out there. thanks.
sorry for my bad english.
Are you rooted?

First, you need to be rooted. Search the forum for how to do that if you dont have a custom ROM.
Second get Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz from market. Works like a charm. Tried and tested by me! Worked in 3 different countries/carriers.
