Now, with the phone connected, I type in terminal:

"user@pc:/media/Docs/Android/tools$ ./adb shell
error: device not found
user@pc:/media/Docs/Android/tools$ ./adb devices
List of devices attached

user@pc:/media/Docs/Android/tools$ "

This is not normal, is it?

What should I do now?

(I also have a t-mobile sim card, not activated. It just came with the phone. I can go through the activation proccess (gmail account etc) but it can't complete as it's disabled)

Did you try my first tip to enable adb?

Thanks for your reply.

SD mounting works fine.
In recovery mode nothing is better... (tried recovery without sd only)

Is there anything else I should try?

What do you mean enable?
I should enable it on the g1 but it's locked, no menus available.


I thought the first step was to enter the "adb shell" command in the PC, then pass this through the pc to the G1:
"sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES ('device_provisioned', 1);"

Am I missing something?

A couple of things:

- Look further down the post, there's a "tips and tricks" section. The first tip is how to enable adb.

- second, I don't think you need to go through the first step (the sqlite3 command). The first step is to get past the "no sim card" screen. You said you have a sim card, just no data plan, right? So you don't need to get past the "no sim card" screen . You can skip to the second step (once you get adb working, of course)

DID IT!

Thanks so much!!

I now have to wait for the unlock code so that I can also use my sim card...

Thanks both of you!

EDIT:
T-mobile sent me the unlock code although I was not a customer for even one day!
That's great...

Great! Glad you got it working
