i got a g1 off craigslist, it had jailbreak done and the other person's shit was still all over it.
so i did the factory reset now its in fucking chinese or some shit. anyone know how to change this crap?
-
im going to flash it to the old release maybe that will do it
-
Settings > Locale and Text (9th one down) > Select locale (top one) > Engrish
That's on 1.6 though, and may be different on yours.
What did they have on it? Cyanogen?
And yeah, if you find the English v1.6 from Tmob somewhere (shouldn't be hard) the flashing process is pretty easy and it'll definitely set you to English.
-
i don't know what firmware it is thanks for that though i'll try it heh
it had "cupcake" on it before i reset it
-
damn it didn't work when i clicked the top one it just made all the other options disabled

That may help, looks like a bigger PITA than I expected. Would help to know what you're on now.
Settings > bottom one
Current official firmware is 1.6 and build DRC83
Here's a link to how to flash and the files needed (which it sounds like you already know/have) along with some other useful links

I've only flashed mine once and that was to get the cupcake update without waiting for it to reach me OTA.
-
im going to do the jailbreak on it.
starting it right now.
-
is being a bitch right now, it won't mount so i can't access the card from my comp. i think it might be because the card is brand new and not formatted but i should still at least be able to access and format it through my comp.
-
ok finally worked.
-
ok so i flashed it and now it won't connect to the google servers when i first start the phone... ::)
-
i skipped the google part and its in fucking chinese still. goddammit
-
ching chong meow!
-
Maybe a dumb question, but is this a new line of service? Do they have the proper G1 data plan? Do they possibly have the simcard number wrong?
What did you flash it with?
-
Also, try the reset again.
Turn phone off
Turn back on while holding home and the power button
Release them then press alt and w at the same time
Oh, and what are the APN settings when it tries to connect?
-
its my account, i have all the data plan and everything.
i'm going to keep trying i guess.
the chinese kid who put the phone together is probably laughing stupid american right now
-
You flashed it with one of the official roms?
Don't see how it would stick like that with an amuriken rom.
-
for some reason it didn't update from the sd card, its pulling his crap that he had on there when i did ALT-W
-
i can't tell what the apn settings are cause its in fucking chinese lmao
-
you named the update update.zip?
definitely not flashing correctly or it'd wipe out everything including his chinese bullshit.
and yeah, good point about the apn.
My guess is he has some chinese apn shit in there or AT&T or some other carrier so it's not connecting to tmobiles.
-
ya i renamed it update.zip
-
Did you do the hard SPL thing? Somewhere in the settings it'll tell you what firmware is on there now...
I think that'd help with knowing where you can go next.
Or just call the douche up and ask how to get it English again.
-
ok i think i got it. it said the fireware was 1.5
i used a different image wheni flashed, goign through the process now see if it'll work
-
this is jacked, won't connect to google when i start the phone
-
this is jacked, won't connect to google when i start the phone
Press menu and go to apn settings, make sure they match tmobs
I'm assuming you got it back to english?
Also make sure they put the right plan and sim number.
Did chinaman show you it worked before selling?
-
This is why rednecks don't use newer technology. Go back to the old school Nokia sir

yea i used it but it was full of his contacts, hunreds of them... and all his google stuff. so i wiped it clean, when it booted up it was in fuckign chinese.
right now i got the old RC on there and it doesnt' give you the option to skip the google signup process. so i can't get past it to change the apn settings
i'm tyring to flash it to rc33 (the newest version) to try and get the option to skip the google sign up and change the apn so it can connect to tmobile
-
ok it wouldn't update to the legit version of rc33. i'll try the hacked ones
-
i bet the guy you bought it from was named henry
-
bam, fuck you gookers.
got it working.
im on rc29.
going to give myself root powers and upgrade to the newest version
-
ok i have root access now and its on rc33.
going to flash to cupcake jf1.5
-
you guys are jealous you don't have the cupcake
im on the newest developer version with root access
it just took all night
-
Sounds overly complicated. Ultimately, I'm glad I'd never purchase a crApple product.
-
I've got a G1 with cupcake.... why would I want to crack it? More apps/games/etc?
-
JD why the Apple reference?
More Apple-douchebaggery is they're suing HTC for patent infringements.
RS - you're supposed to be able to set the APN settings during the google sign-in. I'm not going to reset my phone to find out, but IIRC you could press menu while in the initial setup and it has an option for the settings.
Also 1.6 "Donut" is the newest official G1. It has some nice improvements.
2.0 is supposedly being released for the Vodaphone's version of the G1 in Spain. If this is true then expect either an official one from T-Mob, or xda devs.

G1 runs a linux flavor
-
ANDROID> Crapple V x.xx
-

if you have the cupcake its already "cracked"
-
The point of "rooting" your phone is so you can do shit like install apps to the memory card among other things... Gives you root access.
I'm fine with the official firmwares though. WinMo I always flashed because the official roms were always buggy/slow/crashed/etc. Android runs well enough, although I would like to install apps to SD.
-
one thing i absolutely hate is that fact that you can't close apps on the android. it just leaves them open. its really annoying...
it has 6 apps open in the background until it will close the 1st one when you open a 7th.
retarded
-
Well it isn't necessary is their reasoning, which is true as it has really good garbage collect routines (use tracing while running the debugger in Eclipse, you'll see garbage collects a LOT).
But yeah I feel yah, stuff running in the background is extra battery being used, no matter how idle they are.
-
well i also just want to fucknig close something because i want to....
-
one thing i absolutely hate is that fact that you can't close apps on the android. it just leaves them open. its really annoying...
you need to download a task manager app. They allow you to close the apps you are not using individually
