[Q] Can`t bypass the Android activation - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I have a big problem.
So I can`t bypass the Android activation screen. I don`t have a data plan and I`m following this guide http://theunlockr.com/2010/01/10/how-to-activate-the-g1-without-a-data-plan-or-sim-card/
I DID IT ONCE BUT I CAN`T DO IT SECOND TIME.
So I`m following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301379 and everything was perfect until I get to this point (II. /7. Go and download a file manager from the android market (I suggest LINDA FILE MANAGER)) I couldn`t download any app, "Download unsecessful". I read about this problem tried out a few methods but they didn`t seem to work. I read that Factory reset could work so I did a Factory Reset... and now it asks me again to activate but I can`t do it. I do exactly step by step but it`s just not possible.
The only difference is that now i have a "Change Language" button, the first time when I had absolutely no problem (from the first time I did it) with the bypass (activating the WiFi) the buttons wasn`t there. I`ve read that it works only on RC29, this guide on II. 7. am I not on RC29? Because everything worked perfectly until this point.
The other problem is that I can`t get it to RC29 if it isn`t because when I connect it vie USB it doesn`t recognises the SD Cards, only the phone itself. This means that I just Can`t upload the files and re-do the steps before II.7 from the guide.
I`ll be really grateful to any help! I can`t use my phone at all at this point.
Thanks,
Boby!

Just upgrade your phone...

This is not possible for me because when I connect the phone via the USB cable the SD card doesn`t show as Disk Device.. it doesn`t show at all.

Restore driver from console

Hi there,
In one of the topics here, I found a program to rotate the screen of my Qtek 8300. This required the use of another video driver.
When installing the driver, I chose to install in to my storage card. This turned out not to be a very wise choice. When I ran the program, and switched to the other driver, my phone rebooted.
However, now it does not boot anymore. It hangs while displaying the blue Qtek startup screen. It probably can't find the new driver. My thoughts on how to fix this (excluding a hard reset) are either:
-starting up with some sort of "safe mode". Does WM5 support this, and if so, how can I enter this mode?
-moving the driver from my storage card to the internal memory of the phone via the bootloader console. Is this possible?
Can anyone please tell me whether either of these options has a chance of working? I would appreciate it a lot .
you dint follow the instructions on how to install the rotation app i bet you dint install the certificates the developer clearly states that if you don't install the specified certificates it will make you hard reset thus,you will have to reinstall the rom on your phone. its your only option mate sry
I read the topic but there was no mention of certificates. Of course my phone is unlocked to accept strange apps, but that's probably not what you mean.
go to the rotation tool post and search for the guide i made it has the links for them
Are you sure? Will have another look then.
This was a nice opportunity to upgrade to WM6 . Too bad though I lost my contacts etc.

Unlocked G1 and rooted g1 restored to factory setting big problem

I have successfully downgraded my rc33 g1 to rc29 and i have managed to unlock and activate it. I was also able to update it to rc33 using jf's update. All was good until yesterday for some reason i wasn't able to download from the android market anymore so i decided to restore to factory settings! so i thought i'll just repeat the whole process again but i was wrong! I was able to downgrade to rc29 again but my computer doesn't recognize my android anymore! i tried <enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter> multiple times but my pc is just not recognizing it! <enter> reboot <enter> works as expected but for some reason i cant make my computer access my android. I checked my hardware settings and there is no HTC dream device there anymore. When i plug my android to the USB it's just charging! Anybody help please
Make sure your phone wasnt auto detected as usb mass storage device. if you are running windows. go to the device manager. open up the section. then watch closely as you plug your phone in. if you see a mass device show up, you need install the android usb drivers.
I have been looking into that closely but for some reason it's not acting up the way it used to. When i first got the android i was able to see that usb device at the device manager. I've tried doing so in different pc's and operating systems ( windows xp , vista64 and 32 ) but it just wouldn't load. It's charging though but the device just wont get recognized.
kinda a dumb suggestion but when u plug g1 into comp are u mounting it from the g1??(notifcation that comes up) again i kno thats something stupid...
I appreciate your post bladepbc i don't think it's a dumb question. I cannot mount the SD since i am locked in the activation screen. Thanks for trying to help mate! cheers!
Try a Linux operating system. If it works there, you have a Windows problem.
Thank you for trying to help. Are you sure about linux i'm a little skeptical, because it worked with vista64 before i don't understand why it's not working anymore after factory reset. Thanks!
anyone? please? Jesusfreke please help me!
Really? Am I missing something? Activate, then mount. Put the files on sd, go blue team go.
Hello disonance i can't mount since i have to go to activation again :| <enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter> isn't working
mods, this thread needs to be closed/locked/ patmagpantay has started another one of these with the same issue.
patmagpantay - if you have JF recovery console flash ADP1.1 update, you can skip initial activation login - then connect to wifi - then open a google app (Gmail market, calendar etc.) you will then be prompted to activate (over wifi)
yeah, this other cross-thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493324
My apologize I din't mean to offend anyone. Again i'm sorry.

Treo750 is not working anymore

Hello,
I have a big problem and I hope you can help me.
A few weeks ago I want to update my Treo to WM6.5 and use a Rom (I think from navenedrob) which was timebombed (since there I don't know it).
Now I want to update my Treo to the right version from this thead :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541417
but when I start the update with the cheathunlocker tool, it stops at 7%, the usb connection get lost and my Treo make a restart and the old bimebomed version is there...and the tool says, that the file is curuppted and i should check my update tool... but this message comes every time also with other roms.. When I use the method with the media button there comes the colored screen with "serial" and nothing happens.
(The sd card is okay and the same card which I use to install the timebombed version)
What should I do? I can't do anything... Please help me
1. format the card 32fat.
2. do not use hc card.
3. try to download again the rom.
4. if it does not help - try to install 6.0 rom from palm .
Hello
1. format the card 32fat.
2. do not use hc card.
3. try to download again the rom.
I tried this very often... But nothing helps
Where I can get this Rom? On the plam homepage I can't find a Rom, only instructions and a download for Mobile center.
http://rapidshare.com/files/173145556/Treo750_2.23_ROW_WM6.rar
For England (750V) :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PS2QHTE6
Oh really thank you for the Roms!
But I have a problem, my Treo dosn't connect to my Pc. When I click to my workplace there isn't a hhd from the Treo.. and the Mobile Center show me, that there i no connection... I have Windows 7, under Windows Vista it don't work too...
Because of that I can't update my Treo.
Do you know the problem and how to solve it?
Really big thank you, this here is a nice community where I get help!!
1. try to install from WINXP - look for another computer...
2. there is a way to get the rom from the file - maybe with winrar- I'm not sure but I remember something like it...
3. look for a rom 6.1 and try to install it from the card.
Okay I try it under Windows Xp, but I get no connection
I get the Rom from the .exe file by 7zip and copy it to the sd card, but the same problem is there at 7%
Do you have maybe am link from Wm6.1?
I think all this dosn't work.. I don't know what the problem is..
What other possibility can I try? There must be a solution for it...
a link to 6.1
http://www.mediafire.com/?4gxsdxh1tmm
maybe you need to replace your card...
Okay thank you.
I try it with an other card and hope it works..
But I think, that this don't work, because when I press the media button und reset, there comes the bootloader with "serial" on the bottom of the display and when I connect it to my pc "usb".. but I can't start the rom with this method...
I try it tomorrow and tell you if it works or not
the "serial" problem happened to me too. It was because bad rom file or bad card.
Okay today I try it with an other Card and 2 Roms (also the orginal Rom), but in the bootloader modus there is every time the "serial" and below..
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
PalmTr
SPL-0.24.0000
Serial
And when I try it with the cheetahunlocker, it stops at 7% and my Treo make a restart and the old timebombed version is loading..
But maybe my sd card slot is broken from my Treo or the sd card adapter...
because when I run the cheetahunlocker without an sd card, it also stops at 7%...
any idea to check this? Or an other way?
Hey I might have a solution here:
When you format the Mini SD card, do NOT do a quick format. Uncheck that box and do a full format, FAT32, Default Allocation Size.
This took over 15 minutes for me.
Do a scandisk (Right click the drive/tools/scandisk) and check "Fix Errors". This should ensure your SD card is in good shape.
Now copy a good ROM to the card and reset+PTT. The Palm should flash successfully now. If not your ROM may be corrupted.
Hope this helps! It worked for me!
1. Format sd card to fat32
2. find the .nbh file in the stock ROMS
3. rename it CHEEIMG.nbh
4. copy it to the sd (make sure it is not hcsd or it won't work)
5. insert the card in the card reader
6. reset the phone by using the stylus and the reset button next to the card reader, at the same time hold the PTT button on the left side of the phone, (this will put it bootloader mode)
7. when prompted, press the end talk button on the phone, this should start the update process without using activesync.
HardSpl
1. redownload the app and extract using 7zip
2. make sure you have .NET compact framework 3.5 installed on the PC and the phone
3. in CHEETAH unlocker press ctrl+2 and click the header (this will unlock all three options)
4. follow steps
The radio it flashes will not be a good one, so you need to search around to get the right one. Once those steps are complete, you should be able to reflash WM 6.5 without any problems. If you download Navendrob's ROM, you will need to download the arcsoft mms composer to make mms work, and you should be good to go.
Hi backspacepc,
thank you for your help!!!Now it works.. I didn't rename the file. so this was the problem
Hi,
I have a question about this rom. (Wm6.5 from naevendrob)
My touch is broken, so I can't use the touch. Now I have the problem, that I only end a call with touching "end" and not with the normal hang up button on my keybord.
My second problem is, that I can't lock my Treo, because when I want to unlock it, I have to use the touch display.. On Wm 6.1 I could turn my screen with the hang key on my keyboard off.. this is now on this Rom not possible, or do anybody have a solution for this? Maybe in the registry or something?
Thank you
Has nobody a anser?

Since your issue is with the ROM you loaded & your hardware problem, you should bring it up at the specific thread where you downloaded the ROM from.
I would recommend getting the touch screen fixed or roll back to WM6.0.
No it's a Problem with my Treo. I change the touchscreen one time and it works for a while, but after maybe 2 months the touch dosn't work.
Can anybody maybe write a file that i can use the hang up button to hang up without the touchscreen?Or has anyone an idea to change it maybe in the registy or sth. like that?

[SOLVED] - [Q] Fujitsu Simens loox N560 died after bad firmware

hi.
I'v got loox n560 that was upgraded to WM6.1-6.5 servel times without any problem.
the last time i did update, i did it accidentally with a bad firmware file(uncompleted download).since then, the device wont boot(just a white screen).and the pc wont recognize it.
any way to save it? or i made myself a nice paper weight?
thanks.
I think there was a way to put the N560 in bootloader mode by pushing some keys and soft-reset hole manually (the "monkey grip" it was called or something similar...) and with the file of the rom to be flashed in a SD card... perhaps you can google for information on this ancient -and more unsure that the cable one- flashing mode. Worth to try it better than have a paperweight...
Good luck!
I give you more information (shame that FIRSTLOOX information is not there anymore)
For manual bootloader mode: press On-Off button + left side button (voice recording) + stylus soft reset (for some seconds). Keep pressed On-Off and recording untill the dolphins appear.
I can't find references to flash from SD card. Anyway, for incomplete flashing, Newplowe gives this procedure:
"You should close process "wcescomm.exe" on PC in task manager. Then hold button record, power and puch reset after that you will come in boot loader. Run the program mtty.1.42 and select usb connect. If You will see the any error just start again mtty. Put command l c:\os_213u.nbf (You should put correct flash file in c:\ or use correct path to os_213u.nbf, l - like L but small). When it will done You should start PocketLOOX5xxFlashTool.exe and flash you PDA."
I got this reference from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429148&highlight=flash+n560+card".
Good luck anyway.
this is very interesting...
i was able to put the device into boot loader mode and ran the command "L c:\os_213u.nbf" ("l" didnt work, but L did).
it did something to the device, a progress bar till the end of the screen.but the device didnt reboot.when i try to run POCKETFLASH program it couldnt connect to the device.
i runing windows 7, so i guess it the problem(ACTIVE SYNC is a XP PROGRAM).
i'll try installing XP on another computer and try this again.
thansks.
almost...
i have installed Windows XP just for this, and everything seems to go well, i connect with MTTY, put the l c:\os_213u.nbf command and the device respond.
the next stage i to flash with PocketLOOXN560FlashTool.
when i start it, i receive connection error, and then i go to recovery mode.the program try to communicate with the device, but i get at the end error that the ROM language is different than the language on the device.it says "(ENGLISH)" and there are also empty
()
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
at the end.
i doubled checked this with the original WM5 English rom, and its the same.
is there a way to change the language with MTTY?
any other ideas? its a shame to stop now after i can get a response from the device...
thanks.
The only idea I have is to check if after the failed flashing your N560 is still an "english" one. Perhaps the defective rom has changed the language of your device to something else...
If your device respond to communication with the XP computer, perhaps you could make a rom dump (in newplowe's page you can got tools for doing that) and check in the dump file with an hex editor which language actually has. You can always check newplowe's blog and forum (with google translator ), or ask him
Sorry i didnt post an update.
i have fixed the rom language.it had a gibberish mark at the end of the ENGLISH, after i have fixed that, .the device was flashed correctly and its working!
thanks for thelp guys

GoClever I102 - firmware flash tutorial

for GoClever i102 not booting device ( the same with AIRIS KIRA N10020)
I had this problem and managed to solve it. Maybe i can help others.
1.get the firmware from http://airis.livedrive.com/IO/DownloadSharedFile?NodeID=0ed5e3b3a95d42e198fdfad4e1d780a3&AID=336352 or http://www.airissupport.com/SupportHome2.aspx?Codigo=N10020 with tutorial (use google translate because it's in spanish)
2.download winimage for windows http://www.winimage.com/download/wima6490.exe install it for evaluation copy and run as administrator
3.insert a microSD card in a card reader and connect it to your PC, start winimage>DISK MENU>RESTORE VIRTUAL HARD DISK IMAGE... and select the card reader and you will have to select the firmware for your device. It will promt you that all the data from the SDcard will be erased and let it finish the job. It can promt you for an error hit OK and continue.
4.Remove the card from the CardReader after image was copied and insert it into your turned off GoClever device. Conect the charger and start the device. It will boot by itself and install everything. It will promt you to remove the card when finished. Restart and let it boot (1st boot might take up to 5 minutes)
5.Format the microSd card.

it came to my hands a goclever android netbook I102 used from one of my cousins thats stuck on a never ending loop with the android/goclever logo when it starts. I tried to do the option this post gives ( and ty in advance for that ) because i couldnt find anything else out there on the internet. But my problem still persists, i tried to use both an sd card and a usb pen and nothing changed. Does anyone know what else can be done to boot the netbook? or reinstall the android system? It doesnt allow the netbook to even start so theres nothing much i can do, im not an expert on the matter but i wanted to at least see if there was a way to salvage the device. If not is going on a one way trip to the trash.
I've also tried to look for the download of the android system for the goclever netbook but couldnt find any.
Any help would be much apreciated Thanks.
