Haai guys,
Does anyone know how to start a HTC Magic Vodafone without a sim? I can't find anything on Google.
Thanks,
Turn the phone off. Open the phone and take the SIM card out. Turn the phone on.
With Donut and later you can choose to skip the Google Sign in until later, setup wifi then sign in if you want to. If you already have your phone signed in and setup how you like it, it will just work.
Obviously you will not be able to make phonecalls, set your time or location from network (GPS still works fine) and only access data via wifi.

You can't. You get two option, the change the language and the make an emergency call. Then it jumps to the home screen with a emergency call screen activated.You cannot do anything until you insert a sim!

cpld-10!!
I would appreciate any of your help!
Thanks!!
There is a method to enable you to sign in over wifi, but that only works if you have a rooted phone (which you don't mention, so I assume you haven't). Either where you are has no data connectivity at all, or - much more likely - the APN settings you've added simply aren't correct. What network are you trying to connect to? You might want to have a look through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475564 thread.
Htc my touch 2G 3g t-mobile problem!!!
Hello,
I have just unlocked my phone and I have my own sim card inside. When I turn the phone on It asks me to go through the tutorial. How to use the keyboard and set up a google account(either create account button or sign in is there on my screen) Also, I cannot skip the google set up.It fails to connect. Do I have to set it up? can't I just skip and start using the phone? What should I do to actually use it. For the setting option I have APN setting only. That's it. I can't use my phone. How do I start it all off? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. Thank you all in advance.

Try skipping the inital sign on and then go to the market and sign on there.
simple approach
Borrow a t-mobile sim card from someone with phone and data service. You will have phone activated within minutes. Good luck

Some android devices will allow you to skip the initial setup. At the "tap the android" screen, tap each corner of the display once, in a clockwise sequence starting with the top left cornet, and ending with the bottom left corner.
Ok, so I un-rooted my phone yesterday, and now I'm stuck. Before I go on I haven't paid my bill this month, and T-Mobile disconnected my 3G connection onto I pay my bill, but I'm stuck on my "Google Start-up", and every time I put my email and password in it doesn't connect.
Is there a way to skip this setup so I can use my WiFi connection on the phone?
Thank you.

thats because you unrooted, only the dev builds and custom builds allow you to skip google sign in. you will need to borrow a sim card that has android feature.
sell, if you have a myTouch, than the answer is here:

Checked it on my phone, it works.
I do have a myTouch, but I just tried it on MT3G and it doesn't seem to work for me. I'll keep checking though. Thanks for the link.
i Unbricked my phone using this method (http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Unbrick), now i cant activate it because i dont see the option to skip the login to google and i cant activate my wi-fi either without it.
T-mobile want me to sign a contract for 2 years to add a G3 feature to my corrent plan.
What can i do to have the option back to skip the login to google part so i can activate my fi-wi?
Please i really need help, i been without a phone for 3 days already =(
If you just proceed with the setup it will notice that you have no phone network so it will then ask on the next screen to provide a wifi spot which is where you can log onto your router.
That wasn't a bricked phone.

My thoughts as well.
You have a couple of options:
1) Use a prepaid tmo sim w/ data, or get an unlock code and use another SIM w/ data a data plan on it (that will require the APN for that carrier)
2) Set up adb and follow this guide, it will let you choose an access point to connect to.

If you've ever installed RC29 you'll know that it wont let you connect to an AP, it will only use cellular data.
i'm from nepal. i bought tmobile g1 from a friend who was back from US, it was unlocked, i could insert my SIM card and use the phone to call and everything. i reset the mobile to factory settings now whenever i try to switch on my mobile phone, it takes me to the google account set up page.. but the problem is that i haven't set the GPRS in my g1, and i cannot reach to the home screen. how can i get out of this problem? i've been trying to 'root' (i'm completely new to android or linux systems), and i'm reading a heck lot of articles on 'rooting' 'SPL', 'Cyacanogen' blah blah.. i think it will take a serious amount of time before i can do that.. is there any shortcut way to re-use my phone as for now? thankx
sounds like an APN issue
when you're on the google login screen, hit menu and wireless settings. I'm guessing your APN isn't set up on the handset for data. check the details with your provider and set up a new APN from this screen. should work after that.
first off if this is posted somewhere els my apologies i looked for a long time and could not find it.
i recently baught a MyTouch 3g (tmobile) and unlocked it with a code but i am stuck on the set up screen i tap the android guy and go through a couple screen and it asks me to log in to google or create an account i input my information and it goes through the motions but it alwayscomes back saying that it cannot connect. the phone shows it has service but i cannot get past this screen.
if i hit the menue button i do have an option to go into network settings and i have put all of the settings that rogers has given me (there are alot of empty spaces though) and still no effect. Please someone help i dont wanna be stuck with a phone i cant even use. Thanks in adv
Well since you unlocked it you are not finding a set network therefore you're stuck.. you're most likely going to need to root your phone and install a rom that allows bypass of google sign in so you can get your vpn set up correctly first.

Press the menu button after powering on the phone. In network setting, you need to add the APN settings for your network, in your case its Rogers. So yeah, get the correct Rogers APN settings and you are ready to go.
However since Rogers requires you to buy a data day pass if you don't have a data plan, the above procedure might not work. Try it first though.
The safest bet is to buy a data day pass (only $2.99 for 20MB) on your other current rogers phone, and then transfer the SIM card to your myTouch. Don't worry about those blanks in APN settings, just fill up the required field.
Hope it helps.
