WORKED: Automated APPS to SD (EASY!!!!) Март 18, 2009
Posted by russenreaktor in g1.add a comment
«1. Must have a rooted phone
2. Must have two partitions on the sd card (fat32 for everything, and ext2 for «expanding» the phone’s memory).
3. Must have Android SDK installed (so that adb will work)
Ok.. So I got sick of all the commands running back and forth. I found that I’m wiping my phone several times testing out new things and didn’t want to continuously put in all these commands to get the apps to sd thing to work.
Therefore, I created a file to automatically do it for me!!! I just run this file with the usb connected to the phone, and let it run all the commands.
I’ve attached a file «tmp.zip». Download this file and extract it to your c:
The folder it extracts NEEDS to be at c:/tmp
After extracting, navigate to the folder and double click on «appsToSD1.bat». Follow the instructions and you’ll be on your way.

It worked for me…. …but Im not sure if ext2 patitioon should be primary

WORKED: How to register the G1 without a sim or data plan Март 14, 2009
Posted by russenreaktor in g1.add a comment
«When you start up the phone without a sim card, it goes into a locked screen that says «no sim card found», and you can’t even get into the registration app. So the first step is to get around that screen. You have to connect to your phone with adb shell and get root access, and then type the following command:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db «INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES (‘device_provisioned’, 1);»
And then reboot the phone. When it starts up again it will go into the registration screen instead of the locked «no sim card» screen.
This assumes that you have the sqlite3 binary on your phone. This binary is provided in RC30 v1.2. Alternatively, you could manually copy the binary to your phone with adb push, or put it on the sdcard and copy it to your phone. I can post a copy of just the sqlite3 binary if needed.
———–
The second step is to enable and configure wifi, so that the registration process can connect to the google servers. In an adb shell session, type the following command:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings
This doesn’t have to have root access to work. It works fine with the «shell» user that adb on non-modded phones runs as.
That command will bring up the settings page on your phone. From there, you can enable wifi and connect to your wifi network, and then proceed with registration as per normal» forum.xda-developers.com

WORKED: Rooting your G1 Март 10, 2009
Posted by russenreaktor in addictive, android, g1.add a comment
«On RC29 phones and lower, anything you type into your keyboard is also being run in a hidden console with root permissions. More information regarding that at the bottom of this post. But, to get root access, do the following:
Instructions:
1. Download recovery.img and copy it to your SD card (see the previous instructions on how to copy from your computer to your Phone’s SD card).
2. Download the Hard SPL and copy the zip file to the SD card.
3. All files must be on the root of your SD card.
4. Restart your phone. Wait for your phone to start up fully and show the home screen.
5. After your phone starts up, at the home screen, hit the enter key twice, then type «telnetd» and hit enter again. (Yes, it will start up a contact search, don’t worry. Just type it.)
6. Download an Android «Telnet» application from the Market and connect to localhost.
7. If you connect successfully, you will have a root prompt «#».
8. Type the following into Telnet (these commands will give you root access easier in the future):
* mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
* cd sdcard
* flash_image recovery recovery.img
* cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img
Now you have root!» forum.xda-developers.com

Well, hopefully one of those reasons convinced you to get root access on your phone!» forum.xda-developers.com
HOW TO: downgrade, root and upgrade ANY G1/Dream (even Continental European) Март 10, 2009
Posted by russenreaktor in g1.add a comment
«Requirements:
- Micro SD card formated FAT32 (128 MB to 2 GB), Sandisc cards may not work (but worked for me).
and
- Connected Windows Mobile device (application unlocked)
SD Card:
- Format recommended
Code:
format F: /FS:FAT32 /A:4096
(Replace F: with your SD card reader drive letter.)
TESTED, WORKING
1. Insret SD card to WM device and connect it do desktop. WM has to be application unlocked.
2. Download QMAT (http://revskills.de/pages/download.html)
3. Start QMAT and select Hardware Forensics -> Generate HTC Goldcard
4. Select Dream from the list of devices, Click «Get SD Card Serial from WINCE Device» and then «Save Goldcard Image to WINCE SD».
5. Copy DREAIMG.NBH to the root of sd (UK – RC7 recommended for our DREA110)
6. Power off the G1, put the card inside, hold camera button and press power button
7. Press power button to start flashing
8. To apply HardSPL, root & upgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
9. You don’t need the GoldCard any more (HardSPL fixes it, you should be able to flash any image now). So format the SD once again or borrow to a friend to downgrade his G1. » forum.xda-developers.com
