I have a T-Mobile MyTouch I purchased on Friday, which had an SPL of 1.33.006 (SAP30000). I followed the instructions in the following thread to unroot my phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133
I would have posted in the original thread, but the couple of times I've seen my issue come up, there are no answers given (or, sometimes it's "did you follow the instructions exactly?") so I didn't want to get it lost if others have the same problem. I've tried the instructions step by step (took me a while to get the GoldCard done because of a couple of inaccuracies in the instructions), but now it seems that I'm stuck with a 1.33.0009 (SAPP30000) SPL and need to install 32A ROM's - I can't seem to get it to 1.33.0005 no mater how many times I follow the instructions. And it also seems that I can't revert to a 32B situation, nor can I unroot the phone based on the last series of instructions in the Original Thread.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you fix it? Or is it unfixable? I'd like to be able to install 32B Hero ROM as only a couple of the 32A ones will install on my phone, and it's hard to tell what might be causing the slowdown (the lack of memory, or just the ROM itself). I now have Amon_RA's RAv1.2.1H ROM installed, and it works great, but it's the Hero ones I'd like to get.
Note that my main reason for unrooting was to tether the phone, but for now that goal has been set aside until I can determine how to proceed from here (although I might just give Azilink a try anyway while waiting for this to be resolved).
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm not sure if we had the same problem. I followed the instruction in installing the spl it says turn off after installing the spl.
- Once the recovery is booted wait a while
- Apply the update.zip (you are now flashing the 1.33.2005 SPL)
- Once the SPL is flashed you have to power off your device and boot it again in fastboot mode. <--I did not follow this line
after the flashing I pressed restart and let it do it's thing until a couple of restart/flashing and stucked with the vodafone bootscreen thats the time I removed my battery (just be sure it's done flashing) then go to fastboot you should see .0005 let me know if it works I'm pretty sure that's what happened to me
P.S. I believe you want to root you phone to tether right? not unroot?

Hey jrherras,
Thanks for that tip. I'll give it a try tonight (while possibly getting other suggestions along the way). I think I MAY have tried that, but I don't remember at which stage this happened. One time it said on the screen to reboot using the "Home+Power" reset (hard reset, I think), and re-flash the update. So I tried and got the same results.
So, just to be clear, what you're saying is at the third step above, instead of powering off the phone (by removing the battery), just choose the "reset device" option at the top of the recovery menu? Or are you suggesting to do the "Home+Power" reset? And it seems that you may have also re-flashed the SPL update a couple more times as well?

Yes I flashed couple of times and thought I'm stucked at .0009 SPL until I decided to restart not turn off.
I pressed the 1st selection from the recovery which is "Restart device" and let it flash it self. If I'm not mistaken once you pressed restart you will see a flashing in progress and after a couple of restart when your stucked in the vodafone logo and no more flashing in progress that's the time you remove the battery to turn off After that you should have .0005 SPL pm me if it worked since I don't browse too much
Hey jrherras,
Thanks again for that info. I'll give it a try later on and update both this thread and you once I see if it does or doesn't work.

Seems that the extra reboot did the trick. I had misread the "Home+Back" to reboot as "Home+Power", and that's where my confusion set in (although the instructions in the original thread were not clear on this step). Right now, I'm flashing a 32B ROM and seeing how it goes.
Thank you very much for your help.
I read these forums for a couple of days before I rooted, and have read them again for this problem for about 6 hours. I am unable to figure out what my situation is, and I'd like your help. Bear with me here...
I had successfully rooted my phone and loaded Cyanogen before the Google C&D (not sure of exact version number). For some unknown reason, my phone suddenly refused to accept phone calls and would send them to voicemail. I checked and rechecked all my settings, even disabling my voicemail altogether. I also noticed that many menu items also changed at this time. My send button no longer brought up the dialer, and my home button stopped bringing the phone to the home screen. Holding the power button only yielded options for reboot and power off. Airplane mode could only be accessed through the settings menu. I decided that I should unroot the phone and start fresh with Cyanogen's new instructions.
I downloaded sappimg.nbh and followed the directions here: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/
This was successful, and when I booted again, it brought me to the screen that you get before you activate the phone. Now, I don't have a data plan, so I was unable to activate the phone with my google account. I decided I would go ahead and reroot the phone and follow the new Cyanogen directions using the original factory image first, then installing the new Cyanogen update on top of it to keep the original google apps. Here is where I discovered the problem: Holding HOME and POWER to get to recovery boot brings me to the very terrifying screen with the triangle/exclamation mark on it. At this point, while I realize there are still actions I can take, I want to make sure that this is ok before I do anything. I don't want to brick my phone, and I am already unable to get to the recovery boot.

you can't really brick your phone when flashing a rom, well you can, but you have to try really hard. The same thing happened to me the first time. You can flash the recovery again using fastboot, if you had an engineers spl. Since you still have the perfect spl, you will more than likely have to do the one click root again. Just reboot the phone, and you will have the stock donut rom. Downgrade to cupcake, then do the unlockr's method again.
As tazz mentioned, this is no problem - by flashing the sappimg.nbh you also flashed the recovery and lost your root.
As this is the cupcake sappimg, what you need to do now is to go on with activation, then flash the recovery again using the 1 click method and go on from there.
If you do not have a data plan, try bypassing the google activation described here
flash recovery again if u can go into fastboot mode
I believe that I have cupcake (1.5), not donut.
So, if I understand correctly, unrooting the phone means I lose the ability to go into recovery boot using HOME + POWER. I am still able to go into fastboot when pressing BACK + POWER or VOL DOWN + POWER. However, I am not clear on whether or not I will be able to flash recovery using fastboot this way. If I just load a recovery .img file on the sdcard, will I be able to use fastboot to flash it? I was under the impression that I would only be able to do this if I could use recovery boot. Also, since I most likely do not have an engineers SPL, will this work? And finally, how do I check the SPL?
I should clarify when I say check the SPL. I mean, how can I be certain that the SPL I load won't brick my phone? As far as I know, uploading a new hboot is a good way to brick it, no?
u need to root your phone again.. when u installed the SAPPIMG.nbh u unrooted your phone.. now u need to root again.. being able to fast boot doesn't mean u have root.. a unrooted phone can access fast boot...
Got it working!
I was doing it correctly, I was just unable to get it to root at first. Took 3 tries, then I was able to boot into recovery mode. Thanks for all your help!
Just joined to say thanks to Roebeet and everyone who is active in this forum. Because of the obvious potential of the gtablet being explored here, and discussed on phandroid.com I decided to take the plunge and purchased one tonight. I might have passed this tab by, and waited months for something else...
--and here's where I cry for help!
I carefully followed a series of step-by-step instructions I found thru google, to install the latest tnt lite found here on XDA. Everything seemed to work without a hitch, and was prouder than a pappa to have completed my first root and mod ,ever!
BUT right after I DL'ed and installed the flash 10.1 apk things went south. The browser constantly crashed to the home screen, and the market and email apps were crashing also. I rebooted and now I am greeted by the tnt setup screen that is covered in an endless wave of crash warning dialogs! I can't tap them away fast enough to see the desktop.
I've tried to do a recover, but I can't get thru the setup (that keeps crashing to the first screen also) to use the USB to mount the internal mem to my Mac.
I am insanely happy about the potential of this hardware, but I've painted myself into a corner. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
And yes, I do look very handsome in my profile pic.
From bad to WORSE!
I discovered the dcom222 thread that describes my problem and details a solution. I followed it to the letter, changing the command and using my microSD as a secondary boot to reinstall the vanilla tnt ROM.
But then it just stuck on the tnt logo, faded in and out 3-4 times, and went dark! The device won't turn on or off (had a full charge when I pulled it from the wall socket a few moments ago)
Please tell me I haven't bricked this thing!
still no luck...
I was able to power the unit back up, but I've tried to recover and flash all three setup files I have (vanilla tnt, ota update tnt and tnt lite 2) but nothing works!
All of them create a loop of some sort, whether it's the viewsonic screen, gtablet screen loop, or the tnt logo screen blinking on and off, NOTHING boots to the desktop.
Going to bed before I drive my self insane. Hopefully someone in the know will reply by the time I check this at work.
thanks in advance
You have not bricked it, don't worry. This device is very hard to truly brick. If all else fails there is nvflash or the apx mode fallback. But I don't think you need that if you are still able to boot to clockwork recovery.
In clockwork go to advanced - mounts and try mounting and unmounting your partitions. I suspect your user partition may be screwed. This seems to happen fairly frequently especially the first time you flash a ROM. It happenend on my first flash and not again since. Clockwork lets you repartition though. Search the forum for partition fix, its not too big a deal.
If that fails try roebeet's thread on nvflash recovery for TNT lite. If that fails, search for APX mode.
As far as I know there are zero bricks from ROM flashing so far.

Thanks for the assurances that I didn't wreck the device, and pointing me to some solutions. I have a few questions:
what is clockwork mod? If I am able to recovery boot from my micro SD card, do I already have it? (I downloaded a bunch of recovery images to start, per instructions)
If it's something I still need to download, is it a PC application? How am I supposed to change settings in it (manage partitions, etc) if I can't get the tablet to boot?
-- stuck at work and dying to get home to fix this thing...
Ok, more detailed instructions:
If you press and hold down Volume + when you are pressing the Power button to boot up, and keep holding the Volume + key until you see a message that says "Detect a Recovery Key Pressed", that should get you to a text menu from which you can navigate using the volume +/- keys and the Home soft button to flash ZIP files and do other things. That menu is ClockworkMod Recovery. Since you remember installing a recovery.img, it sounds like you probably (hopefully) have ClockworkMod Recovery on there.
If you get to ClockwordMod Recovery, you can go down to the Mounts and Storage option, then you will find the "Mount USB storage" option at the end of that list. That lets you plug in and mount your internal memory area as a standard USB drive to your Windows or Mac computer to copy over new ZIP files and the like to your G Tablet.
You can also check that partitions are all mounting and unmounting successfully in that menu. If you go instead into the Advanced menu, you will see Partition SD Card, which I believe is what you might need to do at this point.
If booting with the Volume + button held down doesn't get you anywhere and you see nothing about Recovery Key Detected and don't see any text menu, then you don't seem to have a working recovery. At that point you'll have to do what phfaty suggested, read the post he referenced, and follow the link therein to the tegratab forum post to get the NVidia Tegra SDK installed on your Windows desktop and use the NVFlash tool and APK mode (where you hold the Volume - key down while booting instead of the Volume + key) to reflash your tablet.
still not working...
The good news:
I do have clockwork mod installed. Must have been in 1 of those zips or rars I ran in the very beginning.
The bad news:
it's still caught in a boot loop. I've mounted it as an external drive 3 times now from clockwork, and tried all 3 versions of the operating system (vanilla, vanilla with the ota and tntlite 2) and NOTHING makes a difference.

1)Boot into clockwork.
2)Navigate to Advanced menu
3)Choose partition sdcard
4)Choose data partition desired size(1024=1GB)
5)Choose 0GB for the next selection(swap not used)
6)Do a factory reset from main menu
7)Reboot
8)If that doesn't work, then reinstall ROM, then reboot
UPDATE
partitioning the drive and wiping the user data did the trick. I'm up and running again. thanks to all who chimed in to help.
I am def a newB and have taken the plunge into custom roms. I followed the directions to installing Infuse with modded 3e recovery and cwm going to rom mgr and doing the download and now my phone is just displaying "SAMSUNG" across screen its been about 10 minutes. Question is, is the rom installing or is the phone bricked and what are the signs of a brick? How would long does a wiped Infuse download usally take?
It shouldn't take that long
infuse 4g "a lot a screen real estate"
So how would i know if the phone is bricked???

take battery out and try turning it on again after putting it back in. if it starts booting and you get the lady talking, your good, but if it just sits there, you most likely have a brick.
No worries though. Just follow these steps to get back to stock and your golden:
Ultimate Unbrick Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
once your back to stock you can flash the community kernel via odin:
Community kernel:

Once this is done, your rooted (just need to download superuser from market), and you have been lagfixed(with the lady talking on boot) and you have CWM to flash roms easily (accessible via: turning phone off, holding down volume buttons, press power till you see samsung logo, then keep holding volume buttons till red text comes up)
Then you should be back to the game
I really appreciated my heart is racing right now with uncertainty. I havent done what u mentioned but i did hold the power button and volume keys and now I do have access to a red menu that says ClockworkMod recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix. does this mean anything???

the update.zip wont do anything. there's nothing to flash...
Another thing you can try is to flash the rom again, since you have access to red CWM... then if that doesnt work, follow the unbrick procedure
May be dumb question but how do i flash rom from red screen(link???) thanks
Assuming you have the zip for the ROM installed to your internal SD (CWM can't find stuff on the external SD unfortunately...)
Use VolUp/VolDown to navigate through CWM.
Wipe Data/Factory Reset should always be done when changing from one ROM to another. Usually not needed when updating a ROM from a previous version of the same one.
Then choose "Install zip from sdcard" then "Choose zip from sdcard" and navigate to the zip for the ROM.
However if Voodoo Lagfix is interacting strangely with your phone, other steps may be needed.
Good news is that if you can get into CWM, at least your kernel is in decent shape.
For whatever reason I never heard the lady speaking when I installed my ROM, although I may have gone into the other room and done something else.
Well for some reason I cant go to the page with the GTG unbrick download which sucks idk maybe u can email me the zip file [email protected] if not I guess i'll be back once I get home and try to figure this thing out. smh phone down
Thanks Entrophy512 I will give this a try and get back w the results
Entrophy512 followed your directions screen is displaying SAMSUNG you have any idea about how long the phone should be in this state???
Not long

Install TiBu from the market.
Restore user apps + data - don't restore system data. You may in that case still need to put in the info for your Google account, etc and tweak some settings.
Ok im finally up and running. Question what is the proper way to turn the device completely off. I tried yesterday and I see I have an extended power off menu with various options. What do they mean? Yest I chose turn phone off and the phone went to the downloading screen with the big yellow android w the shovel. Again thanks to you all.
I'm a little stuck as to what to do now. Flashed clear droid 1.2.3 (gb) over clear droid 1.1.51 (froyo) after doing a factory reset and clearing the dalvik cache from clockwork recovery and flashing the recommended radio for gb. The stock mms app was force closing, for which ClearD recommended flashing the radio again... but the phone refuses to go into HBOOT when I hold the power button + the volume down button on startup. It just buzzes a few times and the screen stays black until I release the buttons and then it just boots normally except it gets stuck in airplane mode or refuses to recognize the SIM card until it's rebooted without holding down the volume button.
I did a backup with clockwork and a nandroid I think? If those are the same thing then I did two nandroids I'm thinking I should do another factory + dalvik wipe and flash the backup, but I'd like to get this thing on gingerbread. Any advice as to what I did wrong the first time would be greatly appreciated before I start over.

The good thing about Android (And ClearDroid) is that there are several ways to go about doing things.
Instead of trying the volume down + power trick, try installing the modpack (can be done by installing the zip through Rom Manager like it is a ROM) and then after install, just hold the power button, press "Reboot", then "Reboot into Bootloader" I believe.
If you still wish to try the power down option, make sure that USB Debugging is turned on and that fastboot is turned off in your settings. If still no success, post here and we will keep on troubleshooting. It might be good for others to see the steps we take to get this figured out.
:O thank you for trying to help me, master ClearD! I flashed the modpack like you said, and the sms errors went away However, I still can't get into HBOOT, and there isn't an option to do so in the modded shutdown menu Also, I don't have the option to turn off quick boot?? It's supposed to be in settings>applications>developement, right? And the phone lost the new radio! It went back to 12.56... instead of 12.62... and you said to flash that in HBOOT, so I didn't try doing it from recovery (which I can get into). I tried holding the volume button while the phone rebooted (instead of shutting it down then turning it back on) but that trick didn't work either.
It's a really sweet ROM, just so nobody gets the wrong impression from all my whining thank you for it, ClearD!
To get to the bootloader from the shutdown menu, hit "Restart" then select "Bootloader" from the next menu lol.
Try the latest release, 1.3.0, which has the advanced shutdown menu cooked back in, and the radio is not included in the Rom, it must be flashed separately or else it will stay as it was. Try that and let me know what happens.

Lol I'm such a tard... found bootloader... can I just put in the disclaimer that this isn't my phone? I'm trying to help a friend, I swear...
I redownloaded the radio and the checksum is 9ad454c7ac2a9bd69d9f0a5200f089b6, which is the checksum for 26.10.04.03_M (froyo radio). I'm confused, I totally downloaded 12.62.60.27P... do u um... have the right file hosted on techsupporteverything.com... when I went into HBOOT it got mad and said I needed an update so I guess that's why I got the OTA radio. Which is fine, really the sms thing was what I wanted to fix and that's all good now but I think you may have the wrong file up.
