Got a new replacement G1

Got a quick question for everyone, although I may already know the answer myself but it does not hurt to just ask to make sure.
My daughter come home from college this past weekend and on Friday night was attending (a non-alcohol I am sure) party, anyway several of her friends decided that it would be cool to throw her in the pool. Well they did, and looking at the many pictures I got to see I can see her holding her G1 in her hand and the look of "don't" in her face as they let her go into the water and she let go of the phone and it sank to the bottom amid all the confusion and the the several hundred kids in the pool she could not locate it at the bottom since it was white for about 10 minutes. Long story short I have insurance on it and just got the new replacement today!
This is my question I naturally want to get it rooted again and I know how to do that, but can I root the phone without a sim card? Since she took her sim card out of the wet G1 and put it in her hacked Iphone(dare i say that word) to use until I got the new G1. I want to root it, get it back to Cyan's ROM then send it to her at college so she can just put the sim card back into the new one. Is that possible by using the "skip this part" after flashing a new ROM when it asks to sign into your Google account?
thanks in advance...
Peace!

Yes i believe you can do it without a sim card. I think Stericson found a way to do it, so you might want to search and try to find it. Or why don't you put in your sim card and root it?Unless of course you don't have t-mobile.
You can skip that part if its an adp version. But I can't remember if cynogen's rom has that option.

Turbo Tsi... thanks, I have T-Mobile as well... I thought I had read somewhere in these forums that the phones were sim card specific? Meaning that once it is registered to that phone with the sim inserted then that sim follows that phone? If that is not the case I will be doing the rooting tonight... And yes Cynogen's rom has that option... guess I should just try it...!
peace

I'm 99% sure it will work fine if you put your sim card in to do it, but you should also be able to do it fine without the connection, just flash flash flash, then send it to her and she can put hers in and do the initial set up.

Thanks
Thanks going to go at with my sim card installed and see what happens...
peace

Activating Android flashed phone - still have to go back to Windows, right?

I checked the FAQ and did not see anything...
I am getting bored with my Moment, last week I flashed 2.2 on the Vogue just to see what it is like. Glad to see you guys are still developing on it! We don't even have 2.2 yet, just the FroYo JIT.
If I remember correctly you have to flash Windows Mobile back on the Vogue before you can activate it, right?

yes that is correct. And how are you getting board with your moment.Just wondering cuz thats a phone i really want

I don't know how sprint does it, but this has been my experience on verizon:
I have a touch and a touch pro. I switch back and forth maybe twice a week via the website and never bother dialing activation. my guess is: the first time your activate a phone on your number, you have to call activation to get the akey sorted out. after that, the akey should never change, so you can switch back and forth between those two devices without having to call activation just by switching your esn with the carrier.
again, i'm on verizon, and this could definitely be carrier specific, but it's painless to test for yourself.

Sprint is different after being activated the phone dials #777 then that starts the provisioning I know dzo had some script that could be used for activation but I don't know what became of it

I am a ROM flashing junkie!
SDX has been keeping me busy with ROMs for the Moment, but I remember the initial excitement with putting Android on a phone that was never meant to go further than Windows Mobile 6.1. Good times.

a script to activate would be awesome.
so is this possible: set up the sprint touch with android the way i want it (phone, internet and everything working), then change the phone out and put my wife's account on that touch android phone. or would i have to go back to winmo before putting wife's phone number/account on it?

at this moment it would be to flash back to windows mobile activate it and switch back

i was able to activate my phone from myns warm donut using *228 option 1 on verizon after a whole mess of flashing to get my gps to work. i activated my old phone during the whole process so i wouldnt miss any calls. i ended up with nfs fan 6.5 and i couldnt activate my phone, so i tried it on warm donut from my sd card for the heck of it and it worked. not sure if its rom specific or what not but that worked for me...hope that helps

No SIM Card

So last 5 minutos I have been freaking out over here, my Captivate just stoped recognizing my SIM card, everything was okay and my phone right here at my side until Astrid come bother me to do my homework, when I closed Astrid this notification pops upo saying that I have no SIM card on the phone and asking me to reboot it, so I rebooted and over and over again removed my card and still no results, anyone have ever had a similar problem? (it's not just for messages, its for everything)
If there is no solution how can I make my phone back to default options? so that I can return it to AT&T( right now I have Cognition 2.3b4), sorry for all the stupid questions

Trying to see if ur SIM card is toast.

Take your sim to a store and get a new one. I did it twice with my phone. The second time I showed the sales guy I had 2.2 with a custom rom after he *****ed about no 2.2 update for his captivate. They don't care. They are sales, not returns. And to answer your question, odin. You shouldn't be flashing if you don't know how to fix it.

Uses for my old g1?

I finally upgraded to a g2 and my g1 has just been lying around all lonely. I flashed the COS ROM but it's a little too laggy. So it's back to cm6 and I'm struggling to find a use for it. I am going to be using it without a sim so a rom that wouldn't show the "no sim card" text on the lock screen would be nice.
Sent from my stock G2

Finding a ROM that will not tell you that you are missing the SIM probably not going to happens. But you never know someone might decide to write a code for it. Suggestion on that is to find an old SIM (maybe from a friend) from any vendor (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc...) and put it in. That is what I did to one of my old phone so it does not tell me that there is no SIM card.
BTW, I was using CM6 (slow and sluggish) on my G1 and after it crashed on me last weekend. I finally found a good ROM that is fast with G1.
It's SuperAosp DM 2.8.2 with 15MB boot. My total interal memory after initial flash is about 90MB of memory, after loading up a hand full apps (IE: facebook, gmail, etc...) I still have about 82.80MB left. My G1 still running very fast.
If it would have been CM6, my phone would be crawling by now, and if lucky about 20MB of memory.

I just deleted the phone.apk.
I got a bunch of FC's when I first did it but after a reboot it was fine.
Doesn't say anything about no sim now
Didn't want my 2 year old to accidentally dial 911.

ROFLOL! Sorry I just have to laugh on the 2 year old with the 911. Beleived me, I know that feeling. Wait until your 2 year old call you at the office (by himself/herself).
BTW! What is your 2 year old doing with the phone anyway? That's a bad sign to have them start early.
Anyway, I never have thought of that. If that what you are recommeding to raydar670.
@ raydar670 - If that is so, backup the phone.apk first before you delete it. Just in case you need to use it as a spare.

Thanks guys. I think I'll try the ROM that BeenAndrodized mentioned.

Make sure you back up everything, just in case.

[Q] Switched to T-Mobile, how do I get rid of the ? in the notification bar?

I switched to T-Mobile and everything works fine for me in my area.. I just have this one nagging icon.. a image of a sim card with a ? inside. How do I get rid of this??
Also I am assuming that with a T-Mobile card installed I no longer need to worry about over the air updates.. or do I still need to do something to stop those??
Currently not rooted and am on stock 4.4.2
Many Thanks
Rich

+1 I also would like to get rid of that on the stock based roms

using the g2 app and xposed should be able to get rid of it for you.
