There's a workaround, however. You can use wifi to setup your account. It requires you to use the adb tool available from the android sdk.
- Connect the device to your computer using the USB cable. You should be able to see a listing for your device if you run adb devices. Then execute the following commands.
- $ adb shell
- $ su
- $ cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
- $ sqlite3 settings.db
- INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES ('device_provisioned', 1);
- .exit
- $ reboot
- $ adb shell
- am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

on my mac, i am not seeing any devices when i connect my g1 to it (im using adb and have had it work properly before on windows)
any ideas?
I tried this and it worked perfectly. I used my asus eee pc running slax, and it took about 2 minutes to do it. you just have to make sure its typed exactly the same, even case sensitive. I've been using it 'wireless only' for a few days and haven't had any problems...of course you cant make phone calls or send txt messages until you get a sim card. ps thanks for the post ;]
I am trying to connect to a new ADP1 from Fedora Core 10. dmesg shows the phone is connected by usb, but adb still reports no devices. What am I missing?
Chuck, you need to make sure adb daemon is running on the G1.
how do you make sure the adb daemon is running on the g1?? i am having the same problem as Chuck is, i have the g1 connected by USB and ti recognized it as a USB mass storage drive, but it still doesnt list the device when i type adb devices
Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging. Make sure this is checked.
that's the problem i can't access any of the settings since i dont have a SIM card to begin with...i thought this was the poitn of this whole article...to skip registration WITHOUT a sim card
If 'adb devices' isn't showing anything, make sure that you've done the "Setting up a Device for Development" section in: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html. On my Ubuntu system, I did have to adjust a rules file before the system would see the device properly.
if adb devices doesn't work, try doing the following AS ROOT:
adb kill-server
adb devices
(thanks to http://seanpfeifer.objive.com/2008/12/android-dev-phone-1-opensuse-no-sim.html)
system is secure now.
INSERT INTO secure (name, value) VALUES ('device_provisioned', 1);
I believe 'system' still worked for me.
(Just followed the above tutorial and it worked fine -- able to access settings)
It still not clear to me how to do it if the adb does not run from the boot, and I do not have sim card. Did someone solved the problem?
