How to Bypass T-Mobile Google Setup screen??

Hi All,
Having trouble with my G1 (see my post below). The only remedy I see is to get past the opening tmobile Google sign up and get to the real home screen. From there...
I tried to do it through wifi but I don't have an att data plan or an unlocking code for my ATT SIM. (I did put ATT APN settings)
THoughts appreciated?
Regards, PK
BTW, why are my posts not in bold?

Your posts are not in bold until you have new reply to it.
Why would you need att plan to use your wi-fi? That part I don't get but neverless
You will need to get that unlock code to use your att sim card, there's no way around it, period.
If you want to use your phone on wi-fi with no sim card and you have root access then you can just go to this thread and follow the directions. If you don't have root access then then you need to downgrade to RC29 (using DREAIMG.nbh) and then follow the info in this thread. After it's all said and done you can either wait for OTA of the official 1.6 Donut or you can root and install the rom of your choice.
Good luck

very good, Thanks,
I did a successfully flash (I believe, sorta,... "bla, bla installation succesfull") with R29 DREAIMG.nbh from unlockr" .com" I say I believe because the only way I can tell is I can type in return, reboot,return and it reboots +it's a whole new opening screen with the Google runaround . The iffy part of "sorta...sucsesfull" of the flash is, I no longer have any access to any SD card and no ability to sync with PC.
As to unlocking the SIM card, no doubt, It will have to be done. Of the some 25 odd android websites I've been pouring over, theres no definitive statements as to just when in the process it should be done. I also don't know which of these guys are reputable Given my track record of half bricking this thing with my first flash, I'm going forward with a good dose of timidity. I'll take your comment as a go.
As far as wifi Google registration with out SIM card, I appreciate the link. I'll have to study it more but, I can't link to to my P.C. right now. I futzed with everything & follow instructions & prescriptions from everywhere for everything: adb, loaded new usb drivers, HTC drivers, android SDK-3, HTC sync (with supposedly corrected vista HTC drivers), Droid explorer, etc all day till 2 in the morning and the phone just isn't "taking calls", (or Sd's for that matter). But I'll keep trying.
Anyway thanks again for the straightening me out and the links.
Regards, PK
P.S. You can safely assume I tried everything every-which- way to get it to read SD's, that rebooting PC and the phone reformatting SD's, trying different capacities, buying another virgin card, popping the battery in and out,,, all a zillion times. Same goes for syncing. NADA.

thanks for ur information

Unlock Help

Hey everyone,
I have been trying to unlock my Captivate. It is firmware 2.2 and build number FROYO.UCJI6. I have tried the unlock on the android market and I tried the new way for 2.2 but I found it to be confusing and wasn't even able to complete teh adb pull part to get teh nv_data.bin file. Is there any online video tutorial for it? Or is there an online unlocker for liek 10 bucks who can unlock my phone using imei number or something?
Thank you!

You'll have to pay for it online unless you have a backup of your original stock. There are many sites online to do it, someone else may recommend one.

yep I am willing to pay to get it unlocked I just need a site that will be able to get the unlock code for the 2.2 version. this phone was bought straight from at&T and came with 2.2. I am trying to get it working in Canada on the telus network

i get to the point in adb where you type in adb pull /efs/nv_data.bin and it gives a bunch of information. but i dont know where the file you are supposed to upload to the Samsung Galaxy Unlocker site

if you need to "redo the activation after you install the update" (as per the helpful steps found elsewhere here), does that means all the phone activation steps or does it mean the pageplus activation itself (or both)?
I updated to 905 and lost all service. stock bionic.

I'm trying to get my bionic working on page plus with ICS. So far i've found a guide on the howardforums, but it's not exactly noob friendly, keep getting stuck. Anyone know of a better guide anywhere?

[Q] Ch. 2 Sprint Hero...Improperly Rooted

I posted this earlier, and received some help from oohaylima. I had to take some time off and it got away from me, but I still need help. I've read through hours of info. here but haven't been able to find an answer. A few posts were close, but the links they provided were broken or the pages they referred to had been taken down.
1. Since I can only access the phone via wifi, can I still rescue the phone, or can I do that using the SD card only (the links were no good in the post similar to this,)?
2. Since this last post, I did reset the phone holding the Home and Power buttons, now I get an error code 67 whenever I turn it on. Something concerning a User name and Password for a sprint account.
3. The phone won't activate with my Boost Mobile account, I can not place or receive calls with it.
4. My experience so far is limited to rooting a couple of phones and installing CM ROM's through instructions and guides here at xda and at the CM forum.
5. I would like to be able to flash CM onto the phone, not the stock version it came with.
To save time I have copied the last post here...
"I bought a second hand Sprint Hero cdma. ($12.50) It had the stock ROM, but also had BusyBox Pro and Superuser installed. Upon checking, su wasn't working,and BBPro gave a message that the phone was improperly rooted. Upon checking with RootChecker v 1.3 I got the following info from the table:
SU
su found
{/system/bin/, /system/xbin/}
Root Access
no access
UID/GID
uid=10084(app_84)
gid=10084(app_84)
group=3003(init)
UNIX UTILS
toolbox
/system/bin/toolbox
PATH
/system/xbin
/system/sbin
/sbin
//system/bin
Root Check Lite gave the message:
Your phone is rooted.
Your phone does not have superuser access.
I tried to root it again with superoneclick but it hung up on the second line. I then discovered that the phone won't connect via USB to mount the phone. My WIN 7, 64 bit HP won't read anything from it except wirelessly via Wondershare MobileGo. But, it does charge okay. (I have an old Samsung Conquer which functions okay via USB on my PC.)
The Firmware version, etc., is as follows:
Firmware: v 2.1 update 1
Baseband:v 2.42.02.10.29
Kernel: v 2.6.29.-ba77cfo3
[email protected] #1
Build: 2.32.651.2.CL282911 release-keys
Software: 2.32.651.2
PRI v: 2.65_003
PRL v: 11117
EDIT
I guess I am asking how do I re-root properly...or un-root then re-root. "
Thanks in advance to oohaylima and all,
Mike

What is needed is to flush the phone and start from scratch. What's your status on this now? I know it's been a couple of weeks.

I would still like to go thru with it when things on your end get under control.
Thanks for your message, I was hoping nothing too serious was going on with you!

Bricked P9 Plus VIE-L09C02

Can someone please help. I'm getting desperate now. I flashed a Nougat build a little while ago but had some issues with Bluetooth and NFC so I flashed back to the original firmware using the dload folder and 3 button method. The installation seemed to go through fine but get's stuck booting at the vodafone logo. It then takes me into eRecovery where it attempts to download latest version over wifi but fails. I don't really know where to go from here because I can't access the internal sd card because the phone won't boot. I can access fastboot but don't really know what to do from there.

Stevemacer10 Hello, I hope to be keen to help, because it happened to me the same thing, with two days of stomach ache for it. In wanting to load Android on my Nougat Huawei P9 Plus VIE-C02, with VIE-L09C605B354 and VIE-L29C185B320 I went into semi-brick or brick, or was only in bootloader, the screen with the green man to speak. No avail various ways, including via microSD-Fastboot or ADB to do restart your phone. Then, to my previous experience with a Huawei tablet, I logged on to the 'https://www.dc-unlocker.com/' site, and essend already registered, I bought 15 credits (15 Euros), for the 'option' DC Phoenix Firmware write ', valid for 72 hours, in addition to the program and downloaded the' DC program Phonix v29 '(https://www.dc-unlocker.com/DC-Phoenix-flash-repair-tutorial) following the related tutorial. Obviously procured the original firmware 'VIE-L09C02B133' or even lower versions, you'll have to unpack in a folder of your preference. Unfortunately, despite having used with DC Phoenix the original firmware was always also blocked me. At that point I wanted groped with a firmware that you can find on the same site of the DC-Unlocker (https://files.dc-unlocker.com/user.html?v=files/57694006a60d7) by downloading the firmware 'VIE_AL10B_M00A063_Factory_firmware_China_Nonspecific_Android_6.0_EMUI_4.1 .dgtks', which I loaded with DC-Phoenix on the phone. Rebooting of a minimal mode of andorid, I did not see well either. I went back into bootloader, as well as devone be made the previous steps that I have already described to you, and this time with DC-Phoenix I loaded on the phone firmware L09C02B128 and everything went well. Attention and keep in mind that just as I happened to me, the serial number of your phone is changed, to me has happened in '0123456789ABCDEF' and there was no way to change it, so as, while having the unlocked bootloader can not longer charge the TWRP recovery in order to then have root permissions. Until reading the paragraph '(Optional) Phone numbers REPAIR', I went to that point on the site 'http://hcu-client.com/'. Also here are sadly bought 8 credits (8,00 Euro) in order to work with the program 'HCU-Client v1.0.0.0115', you need to download and unpack, then follow the various instructions, which are not difficult when you have to be walked through the modding, otherwise you do even more damage. Let me know what you did and how it went to the method. I hope also good for you. In summary we want Euro 15 for Phoenix whose duration of operations applies to 72 hours and 8 Euro per HCU-Client, it can only use this for 24 hours.
P.S .: Obviously if you follow my instructions and all these signs you do so at your own risk, esonerandomi from every possible and accidental deterioration of the situation and the damage to your phone. Sorry for my English, whose translation has made Google translator.

I wanted to say that the change of the serial number does not work well. The serial number has been changed from what I've shown you above, but was not put one I added that I had from the sales box. I write support and maybe let you know what they tell me. See you soon.

Hi Grlshia,
Thanks for getting back to me. It's such a minefield playing with all these different regional variants. I have though, managed to get it completely fixed. I just gave in and took it into the local Vodafone store and fortunately there happened to be one of the tech experts in there that owned a P9. He took it off me and within about 5 minutes he had completely restored it. He told me he just did a factory reset by holding down vol+ and power. I'm sure I had tried this myself to no avail previously but that's what he said he did.

Stevemacer10 hello, I'm glad you've solved the problem. Unfortunately I'm still fighting because, for now I can only and even to load its firmware, but if you want to try to load the TWRP recovery for later obtain root permissions, it always fails. From what seems to understand me and certainly due to the fact that the bootloader unlock code now is different from what I have, because as I told you the serial number has changed and if I request a new unlock code, it stops notiziandomi the procedure that there is inconsistency between this number and the IMEI. For now I do not know what to do and how to proceed. I hope that over time can still solve my problem. A good evening to you :good:

i'v been throw it
after updating my p9 plus with a firmware that is not sutable to my area
my phone restarted and ask for an account wich ok but the problem was that the software not working properly and missing a keyboard.
and will not go to recovery mode to try another software.
this sloved by downloading a sutable correct software and unzip it into an SD card folder (i create) called dload, then swich off the device and turn it back on while holding three bottons (power+v up+v down) 10 to 15 sec. and the phone directly read from the SD card and start updating a new firmwarw.
try it.
