Use an SD Card.
Fastest way possible or you could get a data cable.

Yes.

At the time when you enter a wrong pin number three times the phone asks you for a PUK number. The PUK code is generally eight digit number. This PUK number is an unlocking code which helps you to unlock the phone and use it. If you enter a wrong PUK number 10 times than you simcard gets rejected. Then you will have to buy a new simcard. It might happen that your phone might ask you for PUK2 after you enter your PUK number. You can find the PUK code is in your SIM card documentation Starter Pack. If you do not have this then contact your phone service provider. Your cell phone service provider can give you the PUK code once they have confirmed your identity to prevent any stolen SIM access.

With the handset powered on take the battery out. Wait one minute, and then reinstall the battery and turn the handset back on. If that is to no avail, then you will need to contact your wireless provider as the device does come with a 1 year warranty, and as long as it is a manufacturing defect, then it should be covered under that warranty. If that is not an option for you, I would recommend looking for a cellular phone repair shop. There is one called CPR, but I am not sure if they are in your area.

Hi yuggaloyeep2,
There is a free app called "SMS Backup" in the android market. This app backs up your text messages and sends them all as an e-mail to your Gmail account. It's pretty simple!

i cant upload my picture to my laptop

Hi jerilee436,
Let's start with easiest thing first... Take out your SD card and re-insert it and see if your phone picks it up. (If you don't already know this is how you locate the SD card: http://www.fixya.com/support/t8475945-g1_memory_card_slot)
If that doesn't work, you can try putting your SD card into a card reader (You may already have one on your computer. However, if you don't ask try asking a friend if they have one OR you can purchase one from here: http://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-MobileMate-Plus-Memory-Reader/dp/B000Q3IUV2). If the card works in your computer try formatting it and putting it back into your phone. Still doesn't work? Try a different SD card in the phone. If that ALSO doesn't work then you likely have a bad card reader in your phone :'( You'll have to call up your cell phone provider and see what they can do from there.
Hope that helps!

If it was me I would look into updating the radio, recovery and then flash the rom again.

The non-gmail mail app does not support changing the signature on the version of Android OS that is loaded onto the HTC Dream/G1. In the Gmail app do the following:

2. select settings from the menu
3.select signature and enter your desired message
4. press OK to save or cancel to void your entry.
