Bypass Gmail sign-in, Bypass passwords, Bypass screen lock drawing!!!!!

I read this over at tmonews...
"While playing with my G today, I found a way to enter "safe mode" which will bypass the initial gmail signin and allow you to straight to the good stuff with out activating via google. You can also bypass the security drawing pattern.
1. Power off your device
2. While device is powering back on press and hold the "menu" key, keep holding it past the G1 and android splash screen.
Phone will boot all the way to the main screen and display "safe mode" in lower left corner.
I have confirmed that data is still fully operational and all of my downloaded programs."
Very interesting

How about a ROM DUMP?

I think there's already a thread or two about that.

im sorry to say this but the safe mode does not allow to bypass the initial activation screen but it sure does bypass the security screen

Correct I already posted about this. You still have to activate service with Tmobile and Google. Safe mode on the phone is just like on a regular computer help you fix issues.

It runs exactly as u would have it if it wasnt in safe mode the only difference is that u can bypass the security screen and attempt to change the security lock i'll play around wit it later on today

Well being the moder I am. I was smart enough to download that converter program floating around before reading about it and I get non stop errors on the home screen.. but for w/e reason running the phone in safe mode does not let the program load so I get no errors now but I can't unintsall it from the applications uninstall from settings.. it gives me an error when iit treys to compute the program sizes so I I can not run the phone when not in safe mode.. would be awesome if someone could help me here

try connecting it to the computer in debug mode and uninstall using adb

i have been google searching for two hours and i have yet to find how to put commands into the g1 i got the drivers and everything and its recoginzed by my comp but i dont know where i type adb shell uninstall or w/e can you direct me in the right direction?

you need to download the SDK from google. You should see some threads with the SDK or the Emulater... it is all the same. adb is in the tools thread. Ohh and you need to enter "adb -d uninstall (name of apk)"

i tried this and no luck the system still crashes... and you know i wouldnt mind loading factory defaults its just i use shazam and i already have over 150 tags that i do not want to lose and thats all i really need to back up... but i can not access the file system on the phone unless i am missing something :/ this is really killing me i hate when i cant fix something

you sure it doesn't save that info on the memory card?

no nothing application saves to the memory card.. well besides amazon for the mp3 market i think. unless those are the tags? i dont know can you confirm? again thanks for the help man

I just tested and you are correct it doesn't save to the SD card... weird why it wouldn't a couple other applications do besides amazon.

google is your best friend. try searching for a solution. all you have to do is change the APN settings to rogers/fido and go through the gmail activation.

patched to rc8, now no internet

Hi all i hope you can help me, i have a rc8 which i wanted to root so i followed this tut http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480 , everything went fine until i upgraded it 2 the patched rc8, now it wont let me sign in using my account details. says that it cant communicate with google servers.

Ok, Since my last post iv tryed flashing it again and again with both rc7 and rc8, and im still getting the same problem. it wont let me sign in to google, i cant connect to google server, so im guessing 3g's not working on my phone as the 2 little arrows arnt flashing, iv also tryed different apn's with no luck.

You should check to see if Data roaming is enabled or not, sometimes if it is disabled the phone wont connect to the data network. After a system update/downgrade. This happend to me after i downgraded my G1.
Just reboot the phone, try to login and you should get a message saying you have no data connectivity (or something like that, its been a while since i messed with that) then just enable 'Data Roaming' and try again. It is important to wait for the message concerning connectivity to appear as i belive it is the only way to access that menu(correct me if im wrong).
It is ofcourse also important to make sure you have all the right APN settings and whatnot right first. Good luck

Hi Seanambers, thanx for you r reply.
I have no way in checking or changing the roaming settings on my phone, as im at the signing on screen all im able to do is create a google account to sign in with, use my current account to sign in with and change my apn's. I really dont understand whats happened. iv tryed my sim in my old phone and the data services are workin.

Well yeah, thats kinda what i mean there is no way to change the data network settings before you have logged in unless this dialog pops up. I am not familiar with the UK firmware but on the US firmware it gives you a message about connectivity where one is able to access the network menu and enable Data roaming.
You should note that this connectivity dialog dosent always appear at least from my experience, but when i rebooted the phone and after 1 or 2 attempts to login in it appeared.
This may not even be the solution to your problem if you can see a edge symbol og a 3g symbol on the status line then this isnt gonna change anything for you.
If you still arent able to get it to work did you buy it at a store? If so flash the original RC7 onto it and take the phone to them and ask if they can fix it =)
Good luck
Cheers =)

hey again, is there a way to compleatly restore the phone to rc8 uk i mean so it reinstall boot recovery system every thing, if not ill try rc7, also link to said files would be nice, thank you

Had the same thing with connecting to google servers, but I found out it only works when I'm on GPRS. 3G somehow wouldn't let me connect, but when I got into the phone it worked again (I think). I have wifi at home, so I'm usually on that. And there was a time when 3G completely stopped working. Only GPRS worked. I installed RC8 (had RC30) and after a few tries it suddenly worked. I don't know I had 3G or GPRS when I connected to google servers. But you should try.
Also, I think there is a way to connect to the servers using wifi. But it's messy and you have to have root. I read it somewhere on the forums (activate without dataplan or smt)

You can bypass the registration screen. Read this:

yeah i looked at that, but dont i need to have usb debussing on for adb to work.

Major Google G1 problem!

Hello, recently I bought a Google g1 phone (used)... It was working perfectly until i tried to access wifi, it began to tell me wifi is unable to enable. So I began to read some threads online and one thread said that the wifi may begin to start working if you are to restart the phone from its factory defaults... SO I did and it was probably the most idiotic decision in my life because now it is asking me to enter in my account info for my Google account, oh and I forgot to mention... I am NOT in the United States, meaning I dont have any form of a data plan and am using a prepaid sim card, so I can't bypass this dreadful login screen . I am been looking through these forums and have found a link leading to a thread where it explains how you can bypass the registration page BUT there is one problem, my phone is not an RC29 model nor a modded RC30 but a LEGIT RC30! I've tried using the <enter>reboot<enter> command and it is not rebooting . So i am thinking I am going to have to find some way of flashing back to an RC29 but I have no clue as where to begin :'(... I really want to get this issue resolved, it is driving me crazy and i've only had this phone for 1 day! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, please just tell me how to flash this phone back to RC29 and that would be amazing!

what about rooting your G1 and porting super d rom. it will help bypass the sign in problem
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

ok well see the problem is I have no idea of how to do any of that... I have even tried connecting the phone to my pc and nothing is coming up on the screen about mounting the phone to my computer! Is this normal? Anyways, so what do you mean by rooting my g1; if i cant access the g1 through my computer can i get into the micro simcard directly (as in use a microsd adapter and connect it via usb) and install the terminal or what ever is used to flash the g1 back to RC29... If so that method would work wonders! Please reply with an answer... and again THANK YOU SO MUCH for your time!

You can customize the APN settings before logging in to Google. Just hit the menu key on the screen where you login (I think, it's been a while). You will need your APN info for your prepaid carrier though.

Android G1 Cant get pass goggle activation

I've just bought an G1 off craiglist and it work fine for a couple day. Then the went crazy and keep restarting and stuck on the android loading page. I then reset the phone but now i cant seem to get pass the goggle signup page.
I've read several tutorial on here on how to get pass this with adb. But when i tried to check if my phone is running rc29 or rc30 by using the command
<enter>reboot<enter>
the phone does not reboot. Does this mean I'm using rc30 and there is no way to get pass this beside getting the data plan?
Thank you for your help

cant you just hit all 4 corners in a clockwise motion? thats how it works on the moto droid.

I tried that n it doesnt seem to do anything.

BY PASS ACTIVATION SCREEN
At starting screen touch corners of the screen clockwise
start from Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Right, Bottom Left.
Do not touch the the DROID icon
just to make sure were clear

yea I already tried that for like 10 min and nothing...read an thread on here that this method does not work for g1 runing donut or dream.
any other suggestion?
thank you

You could try manually updating the phone to 1.6 via your SD Card. If my memory serves me, you can temporarily bypass the signup screen in newer versions of Android (I may be wrong on that, someone correct me if I am).

have you tried getting into telnet?

You are correct sir, 1.6(donut) you can definatly bypass it, but i dont think your contacts will sync until you do, just as if you were installing the latest CyanogenMod <--- (runs eclair FW 2.1), you kinda gotta wait a bit for the google account thing to show up, when i first flashed i flipped my wig cuz all my contact were "gone" but like 6 mins into playing with the new Cyan release, it just popped up. (you may have to install the google addons if your on test 7)
Oh, and on CM 5.0.7 test 7 (latest current release as of 5/19/2010) it can also be bypassed or "skipped" rather, to be done when you descide to do it

[Q] Help a noob learn to beat the system?

AT&T Developer Program has sent me a new HTC Aria (HTC Intruder).
I've never had a SmartPhone. Imagine that. But I am a web developer with reasonable skills in that context and want to start deploying to mobile devices.
The device has no SIM and doesn't really do anything. So I have to learn if it is possible to get a SIM, have it configured somehow so I can use the phone --only-- at WiFi spots so I do not have to buy a voice and data plan --or-- hopefully other developers can recommend strategy and tactics to help me get this phone operable so I can at least install my own HTML5 apps and test viewing them and such.

You don't need a sim card to use Voip, wifi or apps...

You dont need a SIM card to use wifi, apps, or things like that. Why you say that what message the smartphones gives to you ?

I also dont think u need any wifi to use developer mode on the phone for apps...if you hit setting and hit apps you will see development

If you root the device, you can (backup first!) delete the contents of the /efs folder. This will scrub the IMEI of your device, and it will revert to an unbranded "generic" IMEI instead. Once you have done this, you can simply use an AT&T GoPhone SIM card on it without issue.

Thank you. That's what I think I'll look into then because I can currently cope with GoPhone terms.

Carrier splash screen loads then displays "No SIM card in Phone" with red ! warning icon and asks Please inseart a SIM card but I now get into settings tonight (wierd).
I think I have to try WiFi in a coffee shop or try some "official" WiFi hotspot for ATT to determine if the carrier imposes using their WiFi and only their WiFi.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

What? Wi-fi is wi-fi. The carriers do not make you use "their" wi-fi. You want to develop, but you are having problems with the very very basics here.

Yea I know I said that right out I am a noob "in this context." I have no idea how the carriers have or have not modified Android to maintain control of the devices they load their branded modifications on.
Hence if a phone is "locked" I presumed a carrier could cripple the use before a SIM card representing a customer account was installed and configured to operate the phone further.
I also know what rooting does but not the effects of any changes to UI afterwards. Again, its been my presumption that part of operating the device is added by a carrier using some kind of mobile development framework that may or may not be available after rooting.

Rooting doesn't change the framework. Its actually quite a simple concept: you add a superuser binary to the system ROM which the user has permission to execute. In order to control access to the binary, people generally install the superuser application off the market AFTER initially rooting their phone.
The trick is finding a way to write the new superuser binary to a read only file system.
