I have the G1 since it came out on T-Mobile. Since then I have moved on to Samsung Vibrant, original Galaxy Tab and currently on the international Galaxy Tab 7.7 as my phone and tab. I would like the xda community help in unlocking my G1 for a backup phone on my current sim. One thing to know, I am no longer using T-Mobile, I am on Straight Talk. I have been looking online to find a way to get it unlocked but all I come up with is, steps to unlock using the unlock code from T-Mobile (again I am no longer with T-Mobile) this is no use to me, or just follow links to websites where you pay for the code (would not trust them).
Is there a way to unlock it without the need of an unlock code? The original Galaxy Tab was able to be unlocked using Terminal Emulator by a member here on xda, would this be possible to do on the G1? Another option that is not good for me is ADB as I have no clue how to use it, I am okay using terminal emulator if given the correct code. I greatly appreciate your help and looking forward to your suggestions.
solved.......
Ok, since i was not getting any info here i decided to go ahead and pay for the unlock code. I used http://www.unlock-htc.com/unlocking-HTC.php, even though i was a bit sceptical, they accept paypal so at least i could fight the charge if any issues came up. Also i was able to root my G1 using this site http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-root-the-htc-g1-dream-androot-method/. So now i have an unlocked and rooted G1. Next up flashing a rom, maybe.
yeah unlike some other phones no one has been able to sim unlock these phones without a code, at least to my knowledge. the only other way I know off for you to have gotten a code for free would be to try and contact htc directly or have some one you know with tmobile get it for you
I have rooted many g1s over time but never used androot, I have heard it works fine
you will definetly want to try out some newer roms, so many better than stock. and look into upgrading your radio/spl as well as a custom recovery to make all the new rom flashes easier

Could you let me know where I can find the info? This is my first time on the G1 forum, I am sure I can find it on the development section but it would be easier if I could get a link then I can look in roms after reading up on them.

well first off let me know what you have now, boot into hboot (power on while holding camera) and write down everything there
now boot into recovery and tell me what you see (power on holding the home button)
also have you downloaded the android sdk package yet? if not make sure you do this

well if you rooted with androot you should be ok, you now need to flash a custom recovery, I suggest amonra (also there is an app in the market that checks for root, I suggest use it to make sure) if you are rooted and have the sdk package on computer proceed
get a terminal emulator from the market as well as superuser and linda file manager, amonra image, put it on the root of sd card and rename it to recovery.img (if on windows it may auto put extention in there so name it just recovery)
open terminal emulator and type
su
then type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
wait a minute or so
now reboot into recovery

Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
you will need to get adb.exe and fastboot.exe and the proper drivers for those programs installed on your computer to do a full upgrade of your radio/spl.
there are ways around this but it will be much easier and faster in the future if you have this.
also safer to flash firmware via fastboot as apposed to recovery

find a thread called adb for dummies or something along those lines, it has a mini package in it with all the required programs and files to do minimal work (adb, fastboot, drivers, etc) it also explains how to use these functions (just a quick basic idea anyway)
the sdk package is big if you download everything, and unless you start learning to develop roms and or apps most of it will seem usless to you
your other option is to just root the phone the old fasioned way, following the cyanogen wiki completley starting with the downgrading with the dreaming.nbh file
I've used this method o so many times, the first time took me manybe half an hour because I had to read up on it and understand it. now when I root a g1 I'm done in about 10 mins with rooting, upgrading to the latest radio/spl and installing a custom rom and recovery. so in other words it isn't too hard or time consumming and you may have less issues

Ok so I figured out where I was going wrong, I needed to downgrade to RC29.
So I followed cyanogen wiki and did the following:
Downgraded to RC29
Installed Amon_Ras latest recovery image
Upgraded radio to 2.22.23. 02
Spl 1.33.2005
Then I tried to install cm 5.0.8 (the links for cm 6 are not working) it flashed properly but then it just gets stuck on the G1 screen. I redid all the steps and still same issue. Any suggestions?
PS I did noticed that my original radio is the same as the one I installed using cyanogen wiki, is this correct?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
very possibly, that is a stock radio for the g1, did you also flash the gapps/base to cm5? they do not come with gthe rom
if you need further help boot into hboot and write down everything on that screen

I'm an amateur ROM flasher and I usually get around a problem after a few hours of messing around with the device and forums but I am absolutely stumped by this one. After unsuccessfully trying to flash a few roms, I decided to restore my phone back to what it was because I backed it up only a few hours before. All it would load is a black screen with the status bar showing the time and no signal, sometimes allowing me to slide to unlock to my saved launcher with still a black background. Not only would it never get reception, it would reboot within two minutes. This cycled until the battery would die. I ended up deleting everything on the device itself in attempt to fix something, not thinking I would delete my back ups and then my ability to ever get my phone past bootloader or recovery. I can still do fastboot commands and change the recovery, but besides that, it's a brick. Any kind of help would mean the world, thanks!

It's not a brick until nothing lights up our charges. And since there is no sd slot, that's out. You have access to recovery, you're fine. Download a stable Rom and just like fastboot, do an adb push of the Rom like suggested above. Wipe data, caches, and format system before flashing. No worries. All its not lost.

Any of those adb commands results only with "error: device not found"
This may not be a fix for HTC phones, but on Samsung devices, I've had to uninstall and reinstall drivers several times. Do and uninstall, run a registry cleaner, reboot pc, reinstall drivers, reboot, and try adb again. I used to do that every so often with my Samsung devices that wouldn't be properly detected by my pc. It usually fixed my problem.

No offense meant, but that information really needs to be in the first post. It could have made things significantly easier. We also really need to know what ROMs you were trying, because the problems you'r edescribing vaguely sound like you've flashed a GSM ROM somewhere along the line by accident, in which case you will need to RUU (and most of the guides are unfortunately pretty Windows-centric).

No offense taken. Unfortunately, a Mac is all I'm able to use at the moment. I'm trying to run CleanRom from the sprint htc one development section of this site, so I'm fairly certain it should work. My main problem right now is that using adb commands my phone is not recognized. Using fastboot, though, works absolutely fine to do whatever I need and recognizes my device. I've tried using twrp and clockworkmod recovery touch to sideload any zip file and just won't work. All it says after trying that is "failed to open driver control: no such file or directory".
Please do tell me if any other information would help you help me faster. I don't frequent forums so I'd imagine I'm quite frustrating to work with.
Anybody have any idea?
I need to know how to get a rom back on my phone. it is stuck on the white htc screen and will not do anything including shut off. Any help would be great thanks.
This happened to me recently as long as you can get into recovery your should still be fine. With TWRP you can use Adb sideload to push a rom back onto the phone.

Holding down the power button long enough like 30 seconds should power off the phone. Maybe try to hold the Vol down button too like your entering the recovery. that might trick it to power off or reboot.

Since you can access recovery you need to adb sideload a rom. You can find o ut how to do that here.
If that doesn't work for you (which I suspect it won't) then you will need to take your phone back to stock by applying RUU. there are several ways to do that. Let me know if you need that information and I'll post it here for you.

Did you get it figured out? You have to install the drivers manually. If you don't know how, then I would google search "how to manually install device drivers" otherwise you can just use the drivers that install when you install HTC Sync. They work just as well.
What you need to do if adb does not recognize your device is fastboot flash TWRP 2.5.0.0. The older version works. Then you will be able to use adb and you can follow all the steps I outlined here.

For a basic user with only one device, what about them isn't adequate? From everything I have read about them the only benefit is the multi-device capability. The fact that you get the sync program is undesirable, I completely agree, but it does seem to be the simplest way for basic users to access the drivers.
I am truely interested in the differences, as I have read this entire post and not found much enlightenment.
Thanks for the knowledge

Main difference is you can manually install the drivers while the phone is connected via fastboot/abd and avoid the problems people run into trying to get their phones recognized while in fastboot/abd.

Hmmm. I'll have to keep an eye out for that. I wonder if the difference in drivers would affect adb recognizing TWRP 2.6.1.0. I have seen a lot of people who have to go back to TWRP 2.5.0.0 to get adb to work.

also the device is listed as Android 1.0 and not m7wls, I don't know if that helps

So I was able to sideload a ROM, but now it keeps rebooting and there are no apps installed and it said the system crashed when I finished the setup

hmmm. i'm already on 2.5.0.0, but it's still not recognizing. I think it might be my drivers because it says "This device cannot start (Code 10)" in device manager

I don't think so. Actual 'rooting' takes place within a rooted ROM, but you have to unlock your bootloader first, and even that is not a one-click process. MAYBE if you get the HTC dev unlock code file via email, and place it in a certain folder on your PC, there may be a script out there that could do the rest, but that of course requires a PC with proper ADB and HTC driver setup. Bottom line is I don't think it can be done without a PC.
