Perhaps you mean to compare against -1 instead of 1?

String hashedpw = getMD5Hash("mypass");
String challenge = getChallenge();
String md5pw = getMD5Hash(hashedpw + challenge);

Since you didn't provide the getChallenge or getMD5Hash method, it's
difficult to help you. I asked you for an SSCCE, not a code snippet.

String nextt = URLEncoder.encode("http://facebook.com/home.php");
System.out.println("aok");
String post = "challenge=" + challenge + "&noerror=1&next=" + nextt
+ "&login=Login&email=" + email + "&pass=&md5pass=" + md5pw;

PrintWriter pout = new
PrintWriter(new
OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream(),"8859_1"),true);

You cannot write to a URLConnection if doOutput=false - call
setDoOutput(true)

} catch(Exception e){}

When debugging a problem, don't silently swallow exceptions.
