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

About Unlock G1 Phone

Hello, i got a G1 from my cousin, so i cant use it yet but im the 1st day,
i can still use the "camera, calculator and some of the apps, it happens that i wipe-out the datas. but now i discover to make an update that some1 instructed me to do this.
1. Go here: http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list
2. Download this: signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip [8th in the list]
3. Rename it: update.zip
4. Place it on your SD card
5. Put SD card in phone. Reboot holding the Power and home buttons.
6 Apply the update...
7. Done.
but then i cant even still see those apps like camera's bar code reader,
calculator etc.. is there a way to see those? or i now need to get an unlock
pin to activate the phone and see those apps?
my phone is 2weeks nothing to do ><
all i can see is the emergency calls xD

Is it asking you to sign in to google?
I'm not really of your scenario, you're using a t-mobile SIM, right? When I got my G1 I didn't have a t-mobile SIM, so all I could do is use emergency call until I unlocked it. Thing is, when you factory reset your SIM unlock is still retained, so I don't really see how this is possible...
So we can understand what happened.
-The phone worked fine
-you factory reset
-Applied that update
-it's asking for a code
Is it an unlock code (for the SIM) or a gogle sign-in?

First of all thanks for replying bro, its really appreciated
i got my G1 without a T-mobile sim card. so if i put a sim from here
it ask for a pin and also requires me to sign in tio google.
how to fix? or the only way is to get it unlocked?
coz samehere i only can use emergency call xD

so you have an rooted locked g1 and you what? Hard to follow the conversation

If you're not on tmobile you need to purchase an unlock code, you can buy them on ebay for about $15/£10. They will ask for your IMEI. Never publicly post your IMEI. If you see one really really cheap, make sure they are going to give you the code, rather than tell you how to unlock.
After thatyou need apn settings for your carrier, press menu, enter those and sign in.

Thanks for those replies peepz.
btw, what will i do is i will call my cousin who gave me this G1 (coz he lives in USA )
I will ask him a favor to get me a "UNLOCK PIN" for the G1 then i will give my IMEI to him.
and hopefully will get the code after a days.
When it Success, what will i do next? i will need "APN Settings"? i dunno that yet xD.. where can i find the settings? and will i need to have wifi connection?
thanks in advance.

Bump! Bump! Bump!

did your cousin originally have tmobile? what he can do is call tmobile and say that he sent his g1 overseas to his cousin as a present... jus tmake sure you tell him the IMEI number found on the back of the phone when u take out the battery first before he calls tmobile..
tmobile will give him the unlock code thru email within 24hours.
if he didnt have tmobile then the only thing u can do is buy the unlock code.preferably ebay.
a lot of apps use data. so apps that use internet and such will not work since there is no SIM in it. u need a sim with a data plan. but u can use the phone over wifi. no calls but download from market and browse the web.
PM me so i can walk u thru. more things.

Its unnecessary to bump unless you have the unlock code cuz there's not much we can help you with until then.

Help can get past google screen

Well i got a g1 that is unlocked and i was using it but my son got hold of it and it is now asking me to set up an account with google but how can i set up the account when i am in mexico and the data is not working in my phone.

If you are using one of the cooked ROMs from here, you should have a Skip button, if not, I am not aware of any way to get past it.

Umm if your phone rooted or unlocked theres a diffrence and like Talderon said if you have a cooked rom most likely you can just skip it but maybe your phone's not rooted its just unlocked to use other carriers like AT&T and such i dont kno so
is it Unlocked or Rooted?

13 posts, so I am guessing he does not have a rooted phone.
Search on here for activating using WiFi, and not your data plan.

u never kno maybe he dont kno the termanology maybe he got it from someone maybe who knows maybe doesnt kno the rite word for what he has caus there is a diffrence betweek rooted and unlocked just clairfying S151 so chill

You can try this thread:

However, if your phone is not rooted or you have a newer (post R29) Stock ROM on the phone, this won't work, but worth a shot.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452316

well I have a RC30 because after I tried the intructions on how to register the G1 without sim or data plan it did not reboot so I dont have a RC29 what else can I do.

im pretty sure thats the only way to do it......
if you manage to root your phone, you'll have a bunch of fun stuff you can do with it

Serious Questions - What if I want to root and...

What if i want to root my dre]am and use this guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563679 ) but have no data plan and have data blocked on phone plan (internet blocked, picture messages blocked, medianet blocked)
There are 2 reasons why i might want to root, first its because one of my friends said i would need to if i want to get my g1 to work on ATT (you can read the message below... Also, this is one way, the forum link that i will supply, there is another method to making my g1 work on ATT... can anyone confirm and/or deny either option?)
and two, because I want to have full access to my phone, and manipulate it... Though i am very satisfied if i dont need to root, and the option in my old forum thread is legitament and will work.
Here is the link, Thank you!

Friend message:
Yes, it's very possible. But you need root. Follow the instructions in the forums to root the phone, and flash pretty much any custom ROM (but if you're a noob, and you don't want to learn to develop or anything, just go with CyanogenMod). After you do that, when you boot the phone, you will have the option to skip signing in when you first boot, so that you can go turn on wifi, then sign in whenever you want over wifi. And you can block data with an app called APNDroid, so you don't rack up ATT data charges.

Root != SIM unlock. They can be applied at the same time or independently of each other. The only way to carrier unlock the phone is to call T-Mobile after 90 days in good standing (correct me if I have the wrong amount of time) or pay an unlocking service (~$10-$20 I've heard).
Most custom roms, if not all, will allow you to log into the server through wifi when you setup the phone. Google will turn up quite a few guides if you needed them.

good reply, thanks mate, though i have already searched google, which is why i am asking you fine people. XD

Help please

Hi for all
Today i just bought a HTC G1 used from someone, and i tried to delete all the information that he had
so i make a big mistake because now i can t use it because of the bypass
Please someone can help me to fix this problem
Or if there are other system that i can install to pass this step

do you have a sim card?

borrow a friends sim card that has a data plan. or buy a web day pass by putting your sim in another phone and going to the browser.

You can activate the phone via wireless internet, actually.

Thank you for your answer i trid to use a card with plan but thats didn t work and i can t enter to get the wifi worked because they ask me to use the acount of gmail before to enter to the menu of the phone so the things are not working
i don t know what to do ?

Other thing i forget to say that im from ecuador and i read that the plan that can activate this phone is just from T-Mobile

well there is a guide somewhere that shows you how to get past the google sign-in.. but i think you need to downgrade to 1.0... that bypass google and update to 1.6 without wiping
