Thanks for replying. But I have tried to follow the instructions but there's a lot of stuff that it says that the isent there can you help me using team viewer or something?

probably won't have time for that, maybe some other nice feller here would be. but as for now your best bet is to root and put a custom rom on it so it will let you bypass inital setups, or you could borrow a friends tmobile sim and just go through the setup and never reset it.
if you choose the rooting setup you need to start by finding out what your running, power on while holding camera and write down everything on that screen

does this help?

Well are you able to borrow a sim card for a bit so you can do the initial sign in? If not you will need to do a little extra to turn on WiFi from the sign in screen

No i am not able to my friends either have at&t or verizon like me

@ the sign in try tapping the 4 corners to see if it will bypass

if not then your best option is to follow the cyanogen wiki (google it) in the link on the dream there will be instructions to root and instructions to bypass using adb, feel free to ask if you get stuck

i have tryed using the cyanogenmod wiki rooting methhood befor. i got to the android sdk part and whenever i did what the wiki asked didnt work. did everything it asked for.

well what part is that? to root you do not need the sdk. if you are trying to bypass the startup screen then you will. you will need adb.exe from platform-tools in the sdk and the proper drivers. possibly you will also need to update java

The Specifications are:
Dream PVT 32B Ship S-on
Hboot-1.33.0013d (Drea11000)
CPLD-4
Radio-2.22.27.08
and the big problem is that i can´t install a Custom rom, every Rom is stocking or i get a bootloop.
What is wrong with my phone, i hope you can help me and sorry for my bad english

what recovery do you have? have you ever used cmtd? which roms have you tried to flash? have any ever worked? do you do full wipes between flashes? superwipes? have you checked to see if md5sums match?

@ tsorius
You've got a 2708 radio, so you have to either (a) flash a ROM that states it is compatible, or (b) flash a 2708 kernel after flashing the ROM of your choice.

[Q] HTC DReam

hi all here info on my Dream
Model Number HTC_Dream, Firmware 1.1, Baseband version 62.415.20.13u_2.22.16.19, Kernal version [email protected]#12, Build number 1.56.621.4 Plat-1.0_gms-141395 CL#19091 release-keys
ok have spent 6 days trying to upgrade???? ha first find and use androot success rooted superuser for android 2.0~2.2, then put DREAIMG.nbh to root of sd card aok then boot using cam+power starts runs through prog then says Model ID incorrect??. I have tried other method to many to mention even tried Rom Manager apk from version 2.0.1.7. through to 4.3.2.4. and not one will load keeps saying SORRY the application rom manager (process com koushikdutta.rommanager) has stopped unexpectedly please try again ha?? have also tried to download through android market ha? cant find it try direct through google search log in find rom manager download cant says There are no Android phones associated with this account. Please sign in with a different account. Google has my android number registered that way I receive emails on my phone????? so is there ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP OR SHOULD I JUST BRICK IT AND BUY A SAMSUNG
well if you were able to gert superuser on your phone then you were rooted. the reason for the dreaming.nbh file to error out is probably its the wrong file or a bad download, just need to redownload it (maybe from a different site) you wont be able to download rom manager to a none rooted phone.
hold the camera button when powering on and write down that info here - if your sd card is in say no to the update and just write the rest starts with something like pvt 32b.......

any suggestions for a better site to download from
sure check this out
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting
everything you need will be here, follow the steps, use these files, and youll be done in 20min or so! good luck!
Hi well it didn't work I even tried to BRICK IT and that didn't work either?
could it have something to do with MOVISTAR when you start it up thats the first screen you see before the Android screen???? any more suggestions greatly appreciated
huh, not sure what you mean by "I even tried to BRICK IT and that didn't work either?"
but besides the point you are saying before the android boot screen the splash screen reads "MOVISTAR" ? ive only seen rogers, g1, and htc splash screens.
im not too sure why that would matter other than you may need a diffrent dreaming.nbh file for your radio/spl does appear to be different than i remember.
what country id your g1 programed to work in? you may need some different files
That must mean you have the HTC Dream from spain, as seen here: http://www.xataka.com/moviles/htc-dream-en-espana-con-movistar
You may also need to make a goldcard and then you'll be able to flash any dream nbh
update
thanks all
have gold card dident work the only thing that has nearly worked is getting recovery flasher on to the phone now onto the next stage ill let you know???
Goldcard should work....
Hmm...
Anyways one more thing
You probably should do 1.5/1.6 in androot not 2.1/2.2

same issue here . with my g1

G1 stuck at boot screen , nuthing working !!!!

friends i bought a g1 off the ebay recently. the seller said that its a g1 but after purchase i realize its a t mobile android dev phone 1. here are the details.

i doubt it was already rooted, it had android 1.5 os. today i was trying to flash it with laslo 5.2... i was following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098899 step by step .
but after i completed Step 1. Get to 1.5 stock and flash recovery!
' no 2 step correctly ,i wiped the data & applied the update after that during the reboot my g1 got stuck after showing the T-Mobile G1 logo followed by Android logo & then dark screen.
after that i am not being able to fastboot (camera+power) ,recovery (home+power) or anything else. tried removing the battery & SD card but its still the same, when i plug the USB cable it shows red LED .. there's nothing else. can anyone please tell me how can i fix this ? its been only 2 days since i bought it. any kind of help will be appreciated . thank you
If holding power + back, power + home, or power + camera only gets you the g1 screen then either your hardware buttons are bad or you have a brick. Only jtag will fix this, too bad because those dev phones are kinda rare

thanks for your reply bro...its hard to find a JTAG in Kolkata(india)... btw can you tell why dev phones are like this ? i mean are they very hard to be used with custom roms ?... i bought this phone from ebay just 2 days ago...
They're actualy easier to flash roms because they are prerooted. If your in india I remember seeing a thread somewhere in the g1 section recently mentioning a place that does jtag, don't know how close it is to you but if you find the thread it might be

Dev phones are special phones that are - like in the title - for developers. The special thing about these are that they are pre-rooted and are sim-free. So If you want to simlock free your device, just root and flash this over your phone, it will sim-free itself.
Also what's awesome about them, that they have such an awesome battery cover!
Also,
yes . i've already red that thread ... but its in Mumbai...n i m in kolkata..thats a long distance , btw i've recently checked that my phone can be switched to blue led mode, hope the JTAG is only option.. thanks for your concern guys...
you're welcome and that's why we are here! ;P

since i've been trying to flash this G1 from yesterday , I think you need to hold on to the home+power button for quite some time, i hold it till it shows up, takes some time thou
and try camera+power without sd card and see aswell
got it fixed for 1.5k....
WHAT!?!?!?!?!? that isn't worth it at all! They are refurbished for $120

please someone can help until now i can t make the By Pass for my G1

if there are sombdy that can help me to install a system and make the By pass for that i can use my phone G1
Well, that depends. Are you trying the way by pressing those 4 corners or by flashing those .nbh files? If you are not on a data-plan (3g) try to borrow one of those sim-cards from your friends. You may explain your problem more. And what version of android you are on? Or are yu rooted?
First thank you for your answer

search for bypass android lock screen on google or xda, you will need a computer and understand adb to do this. its not too hard but involes a little know how
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
i do that before but now is not working can that be a prob of the hardwar
well first off after root make sure you install a custom rom that allows you to not sign into google, most roms since donut allow you to skip this. anyway what isnt working, what you need to do is force wifi on via adb and you then can log in and start the rom. what exactly did you do that didnt work. (the touch of four corners only works with some versions of android)

i install the adb and the drivers but the pc dont reconize my phone like adb so what i did i force it so he reconixe it but it said like it don t have certificate
and when i write adb devices my pc don t show the numbers
i have other phone android but when i connect it with the pc the pc reconie it so i didn t understund
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
here is one of many guides that may help, my guess id that your computer isnt pointed to the right drivers or the path you set is wrong. you either need to change the environmental variables or change the directory to the correct location, as in open cmd where the adb.exe is located
thank you i will try this and i will answer you
i didn t get any thing its not working i don t know why
can you get into your phone at all or are you stuck at sign in screen. i think you said you were. chances are you dont have android debugging turned on on your phone. this requires a few more steps, not at a computer now but ill send you link how to do this. if you search the xda threads youll find your answer but if you cant i link you when im near a comp

[Q] Sprint 32Gig HTC One on 4.3 ROM Flashing Issues

Hey guys. I just bought my HTC One (via Sprint) a few weeks ago and decided today to root my device.
I followed the youtube videos to a tee and got the device rooted. When I tried to flash a ROM is when I ran into issues...
I first tried Maximus HD 21 - but in my haste, upon installation, I didn't realize it said International One (Where I supposedly needed Sprint). The installation continued but once I rebooted the device it became stuck at the HTC Splash screen. Is there a chance that by running this "International" ROM, it permanently ****ed up my cell phone's radio signal/other aspects?
After that failed, I then wiped all caches/dalvik caches and tried the Bad Boyz ROM. No luck here either. I've tried a few others (insertcoin), to no avail. I made sure these were compatible with Sprint, but still I get stuck on the splash screen. Occassionally, when I get through to the phone itself, my mobile data won't become recognized, and the phone will reboot itself randomly.
Please help me. I'm at my wits' end. I've tried everything I know how to do. I've been trying to flash a stock ROM just to get it back to working order, but I can't figure out which one to use.
Any advice at all is welcome!
tl;dr - Not bricked, but not in working order. Need a working ROM for a Sprint HTC One. Please assist!

Here you will find the most recent guide with working links. The process is quick and easy and the only part that may cause some trouble is either if they have to make a gold card or don't have a working Sim card and need to bypass lock screen
Both of which is actually fairly easy to do if need be though. So as long as you have a micro SD card and a working Sim card the whole process should take 10 min if you don't it maybe a little longer but there are still a few people here that will help.
Just read and reread until you understand the process and if you get confused feel free to ask, best of luck!

thnx for the lnk it looks well made and all but it still wont work..wen i reach the step where i have to install the "update.zip" file it fails...i followed those instructions to the letter..im begining to wonder if anyone has ever truly updated this phone to froyo
Well there's no need for that, so you are currently running android 1.0?
Is so, download amonra recovery and place it on root of sd card (not in any folder, and name it recovery.img (not recovery.img.img)
then download telnet from the market
Put it on home screen
Open keyboard
Hit enter key twice
Then type
telnetd
Now close keyboard and open telnet
Type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Exactly like above, if successful you will see ##
Now boot to new recovery and finish the process
Let me know if you get stuck
