Ok let me see if I can explain my problem right. I got an android locked to t-mobile USA I am planning to but an unlock code for this phone but the problem that I encountered before buying the code is this this phone come with an application that when it start up it asks you to to set up your gmail account but I am in mexico I am not interested in having a gmail account how can I delete this application or stop it or skip it otherwise I am not going to be able to use the phone what can I do I like this phone but it is useless in the state that it is help
Not having a gmail account means you wont be able to use the market, your contacts wont sync, the included calendar app wont work very well. There may be other issues as well.
Do you hate google or what? A gmail account is free.
no thats not the reason I dont hate google it is just that at the moment when my android turns on it start up with this message
Setting up your T-Mobile G1 I tried to register but it wont register and I can not even use the phone functions the android stays on trying to register this what I do
i try to register then a message comes up that says that it may take up to five minutes but after a while another message show up and it says
there is a problem comunicating with google servers
this could be a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provioned for data services. If it continues call customer service
well the bottom line I really want to use this phone but how can I get pass this registering bull
here in mexico we run into this problems all the time our cell carriers suck basically i just want to be able to use the phone functions only if anyone can help I will apreciate it.

You may need to downgrade to RC29 depending on what version your phone is currently running.
Also, I'm not sure if your carrier, or any at all, block by IMEI if a phone is reported stolen. I'm not accusing you of stealing, but, you know...

Ok... Long story short:
The G1 is a "google" phone and is dependant on data services and a google account to operate. That being said, the only way you can work around this without having a solid data connection (through your cell provider) is to go the process to root your phone and use one of the builds that allows you to skip google registration. I know TheDude's build lets you, I'm not sure which other builds do. By skipping the sign-in process you would still be able to use wireless internet to get your phone to sync with google once you turn on wifi.
Of course, your phone will have to be unlocked if it's not already.
I suggest you look at the development forum and start reading the links from the "round-up" sticky on the very top.
Thank you everybody for your quick responses but it seems that i am still stuck in the setting your account bull.- i try to root my android but i can even get to format my m sd card as a follow instruction in how to root phone it says to wait until mount show up on my screen how am i suppose to do that when my phone wont get past the setting up account screen can i format m sd card with adapter and then load the rc29 and put it back on my android and follow the rest of the intructions will that work i dont want to try it just like that has anyone else done like this is this going to brick my android.

Yes, if you have a card reader you could put the dreaimg.nbh, update.zip and recovery on your sd card and never have to mount your phone to the pc.
Or just use another device with a memory card reader or writer. Or even better, install ADB, go into the recovery window by pressing home+power and on your computer enter the ADB interface and type in
adb mount /sdcard/
adb push (location of firmware).nbh /sdcard/
and voila.
Hey I downloaded android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2 isnt this file suppose to have everything I need to work in my android but it doesnt where is ADB at and I am suppose to have and update zip and restore it doesnt say anything about that in development. I am liking this but it seems difficult but thats why I like it just show me where this files are at and I promise that I will at least brick my android lol not really but I hope I get it working. Well this are the instructions in how to root.
Format your phone's SD card to FAT32 mode:
Hook your phone up to your computer using a USB cable and then wait for the notification to show up in your title bar of your phone.
Click the notification, and then click "Mount".
A new removable disk should show up on your computer. Right click it and select Format, and select FAT32 as the file system type.
Download and unzip the RC29 or RC7 image file. Copy the DREAMIMG.nbh file to the SD card. (RC29 for US, RC7 is for UK)
Turn the device power off.
Hold Camera button, and press Power button to entry bootloader mode. You should see a gray/white screen with instructions to flash your phone with the update on your SD card. If you don't see that, make sure you followed the instructions properly.
As per the on-screen instructions, press the Power button to start upgrade procedure. DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS.
After it is finished, perform the restart your phone.
see it doesnt say that I need and update zip and a recovery. But I might be wrong so where are this files at

I have cut to the chase and given you the direct links in the stickies that you were supposed to have already read if you were following the very good advice from skri11a.
After reading this, you should have all of the knowledge you need to make your phone work... If not, come back here and we can clarify any further questions.
If you continue to refuse to help yourself, there is a good chance that this thread will be locked, closed, fired, deleted, or shot into space.
Well I am back after reading and trying all that I have to say and I am probably going to get this thread close is this. I can get adb to run I downloaded sdk copied to C installed drivers for my android and nothing happens. I also tried using a memory adapter and formated my sd to fat 32 and then copied DREAIMGRC29 and then tried to run it and nothing happen I am the dummest person in the world.
I don't think this is the phone for you. Just sayin.

Did you happen to rename/extract the DREAIMGRC29? It needs to be the DREAIMG.NBH. Also "Dumbest" not "Dummest".

he still can call.
and i'll even list the number: 1-800-937-8997.
all they need is the IMEI number, then they give the correct unlock code contingent on that.
and it'll be obvious that he's in mexico and needs his g1 to be unlock, so i'm sure they'll supply that code for him.
granted he's been with tmo for 90 days or more.

What do you mean? I have a quick question for you though, who is your carrier, and do you have the proper APN set up?
**UPDATE**
This method causes your serial number to change to 00000000 (which isn't a problem as such as this isn't currently used for anything) but there is a new method which involves directly hex editing the nv_data.bin file, which may be faster and does not change your serial number. You can find the details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843323.
**UPDATE**
First up I'll say that I'm not incredibly familiar with Galaxy S firmware changes/modding, and this mostly builds on work done in these areas, so not all these steps may be necessary but they worked for me. If someone can suggest a faster way to do this/unnecessary steps then please go ahead and reply with them!
This unlocked my Network Locked Australian Galaxy Tab and so I assume should work for others.
You should back up your /efs/ folder before you proceed as you may need this to undo if something goes wrong.
*I take no responsibility if something goes wrong!*
Requirements:
Root access
repair_nv_data.zip (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8942669&postcount=94)
Java
Busybox
The Android SDK for ADB, Root Explorer or some similar file system explorer/editor
(If you have US firmware with no Phone software, you may need to flash European firmware as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838250 ).
Firstly, on your phone dial *#7465625# and check if the Network Lock is set to [ON], if so then your phone is locked (duh), so continue.
1. Use Superoneclick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367) to root your phone (the other z4root method may work as well, but this isn't what I used).
2. Either use ADB or some other method to rename or delete (backup first):
/efs/nv_data.bin.md5
/efs/.nv_data.bak
/efs/.nv_data.bak.md5
(I just used Root Explorer to rename them to something else).
3. Restart your phone and then go into the /efs/ directory and see if the 'nv_data.bin.md5' file has been re-created by your phone, as long as it has been created then you can proceed.
4. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8942669&postcount=94 and download the repair_nv_data.zip file (the credit for all of this mostly goes to that thread and helroz).
5. Install 'busybox' from the Market. Once you install it, you actually have to run it and properly install it (the Market app is basically an installer) - the files in the above zip have a dependency on this.
6. Extract the above zip to your PC, plug in your Tab in USB debugging mode. Run the Step 2.bat from the extracted file. You may need to allow the script super user access several times. This should copy the /efs/ and a bunch of files into a directory with a french name.
7. Run the Reparation_nv_data.jar file. (You will need Java for this step.) It will prompt you to enter two numbers, which are your pseudo-unlock codes. I entered '11111111' and '11111111' (eight 1's) both times. This rewrites the nv_data.bin file to be simunlocked with these details.
8. Run the Step 4.bat. Your superuser app (the one installed when you rooted using SuperOneClick) will need you to allow each command to have root access so keep an eye on your Tab. You may need to press y/n a few times if you encounter errors. This is uploading the edited nv_data.bin onto your Tab.
This batch file will stop several times and need you to hit a key when it pauses. My Tab rebooted halfway through this batch file - when it did this I waited for it to fully reboot back to the lock screen before pressing a key to make the script continued while the Tab was actually able to respond to its commands.
9. Towards the end of its execution it rebooted a second time. It paused during loading up and had some yellow writing on the screen saying it was updating media (I assume it was rebuilding the nv_data.bin). Leave it for a minute and it will prompt you to reboot/some other options. Just press whatever it wants (home I think) to reboot the phone - you don't want any of the other recovery options.
10. Go into your dialer and put in *#7465625# again and (hopefully) voila! Your phone should no longer be network locked. Try a SIM from a different provider to make sure.
Enjoy!
Edit: I had to go out and actually buy a prepaid SIM to confirm that all was working with a different provider. Attached are screen caps of my Tab on two different networks, as well as the network status screen, making/receiving calls etc. all works on both.
Awesome man, thanks.
This is much better than the 2 month wait we had for Galaxy S unlocking.
Hello, I'm french and i use your post to unlock my Galaxy TAB SFR ''réunion island'' and she is unlock thanks for your AMAZING post for unlock TAB
Ps: For unlock my TAB by SFR REUNION, he tell me 150 Euros.... Vive smithdc & helroz
Works well! I had little trouble running java on windows7. But changing compatibility mode to windowsxp sp3 and check run this program as an administrator solved the problem.
Thanks for easy guide!
tacoda, you mean for running the .jar file? or for installing Java itself? (I assume the former).
Sweeet thx , curious if unlocking the AT&T version has hardware only set to AT&Ts 3G frequencies, so 3g wont work on tmobile or is it capable of running 3g on tmobile with a unlocked AT&T tab?

Running the jar file. I didnt know how to run it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Does the sim card and/or sd card should or should not be plugged in during the unlocking progress?
It shouldn't make a difference Zeron.Wong.

Traditionally, AT&T and T-Mobile hardware used different radios, it was more than just firmware. That's also true on the little brother Galaxy S series, the Vibrant has a different radio than the Captivate (though the Vibrant radio DOES have 1900 band in the hardware, for some reason).
Kudos to smithdc for this awesome guide! I saved a lot of money thanks to him. Congrats again.
Bump, is there any way to sticky/pin this for people?
So your saying if I use this method and install my tmous unlimited sim I can get calls and 3g or do I need a prepaid sim
I'm not sure on how T-Mobile are blocking, but if it IS my IMEI then you would have to use a SIM from a different network.
If they are blocking your IMEI on their network, then you would have to use a SIM from a different network (as a different network, wouldn't be blocking this IMEI number). Changing it to a different SIM on the same network won't help as your IMEI is for the device itself.
I just want to clarify something..
I have a T Mobile Tab and want to use a SIM I have for ATT.
Will I have to flash my device with the EU firmware first in order to get the phone software on it..then do the rest of the unlocking steps?
Assuming thats correct..after unlocking it I then can put my ATT sim card in and it should work for calls and data (Edge only) with not having to tweak any setting at all? Or do I have to set up my wap.cingular connections for the data like on a WM phone on ATT?
And if I want to get back to original out-of-the-box firmware from T Mobile (like if I had to send it in for repair) I just have to flash stock T Mobile firmware and its back completely to original?
Thanks..and wow am I loving this TAB !!!
You'll need to set up your APN data for AT&T, yes.
Thanks for the fast reply. As for the flashing of the EU rom..is that the only/best way so far in order for me T Mobile Tab to get the radio software on it. I was thinking I saw an APK for the radio software someplace but did not know what way was better.
I just want to be 100% sure bfr I take the jump to unlocking and playing with the phone part
thanks
I got a quick couple of questions:
1. If I restore original firmware (Canadian), does it relock my phone?
2. Where can I get the Canadian firmware release? I see EURO and US, but no Canadian.
I read on one of the other threads that sim unlock method also changes your imei number. Is this really case?

Yes, it will set your IMEI to a bogus one that will get your T-Mobile internet access disabled after 1/2 hour.
Hello Everybody ,
Let me shortly describe my problem and maybe some one can help me,
I would like to mention from the beggining that I have read a lot of post and how to's on this forum and on the internet and did not find a solution for my problem.
Here it goes:
I have a MT3G 32B Board unlocked and free to use on which network I want,
I live in Romania,Europe.
I have reseted the phone and now comes the horrible part, I have to sign in or create a google account, I have tried to do both with several sim cards that have data plan available but it did not work at all, it says that I do not have data plan active
I would like also to mention that I cannot get a Tmobile sim to activate the phone ,T-mobile doesn't have a branch in my country.
After a lot of reading I saw that I could skip the google registration if I instal some custom rom's that have this option(please give an example of such a rom), but to do that I need to root my phone,
Rooting the phone requires at some point to acces the phone's menu , what I can not do because I cannot pass the google registration.
So could someone give me a solution for this problem or a link or something how to root or update my androids firmware without accesing the menu????
You need to add the APN settings for whatever carrier your using a SIM card from. From the Google log-in you should be able to press the "Menu" button and access the APN list from there. Google "APN settings *insert carrier here*" and use whatever settings you find.
This is what needs to happen, I just can't remember if you can access the APN list from the sign-in menu with the stock ROM.
If you can't do what DonJuan692006 suggested, then you need to provide the fastboot info.
Also run this command from fastboot mode (back + power).
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
We can take it from there...
Thaks for the answer, did that But still it doesn't work, I would like to mention that I have copied the exact settings from the phone's from where I got the sim cards with data plan
What carrier are you using and where did you get the APN settings from? (Please provide a link)
I use orange Romania, and I got the setting from a DEsire HD and Motorola milestone from the settings menu, this phones have data plan active
So you pulled the SIM out of one of those phones, put it in your myTouch, copied the APN settings from one of those phone's the the myTouch? Just want to make sure I'm following you.
NO, I have written down first the settings, because if you pull the sim out they do not appear anymore, put the sim in the MT3G, put in manually the APN inside the phone, and that's it , and it does not work.
Did you try rebooting the myTouch after you put in the APN and the SIM card?

Have a nice day!
ok... i know i've posted alot about this.... bt this is like a mega thread which will give every detail..
specifications before the problem:-
wildfire 2.1 -
8gb kingston class 2 -
uninor (India)(network provider) -
[bought the phone and used my vodafone card till like 1 month then switched to uninor]
i was using the stock rom(but rooted) till dec 20th
The problem:-
When the froyo update came out i installed danne_jo's safe flashable version of the stock rom ... no problems with that... then tried the wildpuzzle 0.6..no problem with that either..bt i switched back to my vodafone card in the 1st week of jan(due to connectivity issues on uninor)...thats when all the problems started... the moment i switched on the data connection... my phone would just freeze..if not immediately then when im surfing or using an app that connects to the internet...or any high memory app...even the home and back buttons would stop giving me vibrations even though i had overclocked my phone to 691/254-710/254 MHz (performance mode)....i continued trying to fix it for 2 days...then got my sim replaced... no luck even der... the phone hangs even with the new card... tried other vodafone sim cards(mother's , brother's, friend's)... the same result everytime...bt when i put my uninor simcard in my phone.... everything works great... even the data connection.... so i started posting on the forum... got great help from 3xeno and daddyspud... they told me to do different tests so that they could pinpoint the problem...this is what all i did and their results
** phone works fine if i have the data connection switched off... no problem using wifi or bluetooth, also it works fine when i dont have any apps installed...
1. flashed the 2.1 RUU and rooted the phone again (2 times)- no change
2. tried different roms - again the same result
3. the sim works fine on stock(atleast better..)
4. everytime the uninor sim worked fine without any lags or freezes
5 . even tried different radios..bt no luck even after that
conclusions i drew from all this:-
1) first i thought that it was coz of apps2sd as its not recommended to use a class 2 card...bt then y does it work fine with the uninor sim in it...??? (weird right??)... and even if it was then how could apps2sd be affected by sim card or data connection??
2) then i thought that it might be because of the network.. bt i confirmed with 3xeno...coz he's also a vodafone customer in India and doesn't face this problem...
3) then i thought that it was coz of froyo...bt 3xeno again confirmed that it wasn't the problem..
4) talked at HTC customer center... they told me to do a hard reset i.e. HBOOT>clear storage
5) then yesterday i jus remembered that once when i was messing around with my phone i had clicked the SIM LOCK option in the HBOOT menu(i was using the uninor sim at that time)..bt according to me nothing happened because every line that came after that ended with the word 'failed'.. i also read a thread on the same.. and it said that it didnt coz any problem if u accidentally clicked on that ...
link to that thread:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765420
... bt 3xeno thinks that, it's the source of the problem, and i pretty much do agree to it coz everythings pointing towards that only
* there's also something i'd like to bring to notice... today i installed wildpuzzle v0.8(cache on phone by default).. my phone performed better..bt still did hang......
* Also... when i change my sim cards... i get a notification saying" sim card changed... change the following settings?" which include bookmarks, etc.. nothing major.. it gives 3 options 1.yes 2. no,later 3.no....
now i seriously dont know what the problem is..3xeno thinks its coz of the sim lock stupidity i did..... coz i've tried everything in my knowledge to fix this, i've busted my brains out,sleepless nights sitting in front of my laptop,waititng 4 someone to reply to my posts,i'm really tired, bt im in no mood to give up..... plz its my request to all the devs and anyone who can help me to plz atleast look into this problem...
Thanks to anyone and everyone who have already helped me and are goint to help me!!!!!
common guys!!!! not even a single reply..... plz help me!!!

see the problem you are having is something that is not so common and the second thing is that you have the full knowledge of flashing custom roms aswell as shipped roms.. and since you have tried all the possible methods there might me some defect in your device, that is what i think....
anyways .. i hope you find the answer to your problem.... best of luck
Just a very basic idea - i'm far from beeing a dev.
But it looks to me that your phone thinks (at least partial) that it is simlocked. Can't you try to unlock it using a goldcard and see what it gives?
Don't know how to create such a card or if it would work - it is just an idea.
Erwin
i read the gold card procedure( http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/ )... bt the thing that i dont understand is what to do after i create the gold card??? also i've got 2 SD cards... one of 512 mb...with this card i reach the end of the procedure bt fail as the card requires formatting... and the other card is sandisk 8gb class 2... with that i cannot get ahead of the 'cat' command.. as it gives me no such file found...

Strange, I just did the same thing, and it works well with me.. sure you didn't mistype it?
I believe that, if you've successfully created a gold card, you can put it in your phone (perhaps reboot?), connect your phone to the computer with usb debugging enabled and than you are allowed to flash any RUU.
But I beleve that is the weak point of my solution: you have already tried (and succeeded) in flashing a RUU (which would not work if your simlocked, I beleve).
But you have nothing to lose, so you can try I think. I have no other ideas than that.
Succes!

Hallo,
I am using CM7 on my little Samsung Galaxy Y, but forgot the pattern I set.
I tried a lot, and after that, I remembered it again, but it is not useful anymore, it is asking me for my Gmail account, I KNOW the password, but can't remember the email anymore.
How can I get my SMSs (I only need them for very important number there).
Thank you.
Do you have usb debugging on you device? If yes, download android sdk and run those commands:
adb -d shell
sqlite3 data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
update system set value=0 where name=’lock_pattern_autolock’;
.exit
exit
adb reboot

or

If you dont have, i think a factory reset is needed :/

This might be silly but it might work too (I have not tried but heard that it works) Insert sim card in your Galaxy Y, Dial your number from any where else (Frens cellphones you might pay him for that) Accept the call Don't end call rather press the button one at middle (it minimize your calling process) and navigate to Message and note that number.In that process try this too If play store can be started while minimized calling download any lock-screen application apply that And you should not flash it.
If above didnt work few suggestions Just copy the clockwork mode to SD card (Send it via SD CARD) Now backup the OS and flash it to default rom if you want to use it now for calling purpose or using it and you can revert it's backup and try entering password again in future.
If it really worked Please look at thanks button below

This is a really good tip man!
But if he recover the backup the password will return too I think.

This work-around didn't work for me, it didn't allow me to go anywhere else. But thanks however for the answer
