It doesn't.

God said he was loyal and that's why He changed his name from Abram to Abraham (Genesis ch.17) and had so many descendants.

Answer:It doesn't. For purposes of brevity, the Torah left some narratives to be handed down orally; and these include various details in the lives of the Forefathers, including the fact that Abraham was at first taught to worship idols, and realized their falsehood. See the attached related Link.

What did Abraham do before he believed in one god?

The Book of Genesis says that Abraham worshipped God, but nowhere does it say that he worshipped only one god. Monotheism only arrived in Judah in the eighth century BCE, long after the time of Abraham. However, a well known Jewish midrash has it that Abraham, while still a young boy, realised that his father's carved idols had no power, and perceived that there is but one God. According to the midrash, he broke the idols to prove his point. Bruce Feiler (Abraham) says that probably less than one per cent of the stories told about Abraham appear in the Bible, with an explosion of detail beginning to appear in Jewish tradition from the third century BCE onwards.
