MILLION MILLION THANKS DAVE! This helped. A little more detailed explanation of what Dave already mentioned for future readers:
1) Install Android SDK http://code.google.com/android/intro/installing.html 2) Run the following command in the command line to start Android Debug Bridge console adb -d shell from the folder <yourlocation>/android-sdk-linux_x86-1.0_r2/tools or anywhere if you added this "tools" directory to your PATH environment variables. 3) Run su ... to become super user I guess. 4) Run am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings to show the connection setting on the android phone. 5) Use your phone to select your GSM provider and connect to WiFi. 6) Sign In. 7) Enjoy! :) On Dec 29 2008, 7:33 pm, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > On Dec 28, 4:41 pm, > "[email protected]"<[email protected]>wrote: > > I bought a Dev phone, had it shipped to my parents' place in Virginia, > > and then brought it back to Germany with me.
