Follow this part from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452316

"In an adb shell session, type the following command:

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

This doesn't have to have root access to work. It works fine with the "shell" user that adb on non-modded phones runs as.
That command will bring up the settings page on your phone. From there, you can enable wifi and connect to your wifi network, and then proceed with registration as per normal "

Good luck!
Thanks but that's the part I don't get. What is an adb shell session. Their is a file called adb but when I click on it, it opens the terminal. I don't know what to do from there. I can't type anything. I'm lost there.
