Using ADP1 without sim card

You know that Android Dev Phone 1 is fully unlocked.  But if you've just opened your box and don't have a sim with a working data plan, you'll be greeted with a "No sim card" "Emergency dial" screen on first boot. Now, if you had a sim card with a working data plan, it'd allow you to go ahead and and sign in with your Google account, but you don't. So you cannot do anything at the "No sim card" screen.

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

After reboot:

• $ adb shell
• am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

Go ahead and setup your wifi and then sign up using your Google account.
