[Q] Clockworkrecover? or NVFlash which one?

Hey guys Sorry for repost of the same questions im freaking out here... I just did some research (something i should have done before posting first , but im in freak out mode)....
Im stuck in bootloop after using the latest TnT lite...I would like to get that back .
I researched how to address this, however i see a couple of ways to get this thing running again, here is what I found:
Using Nvflash got this on TegraTabs site... does this require using my computer?
Here XDA... I saw that someone had the same issue and Clockworkmod Recovery was suggested.
OK this is where i am comfused If i use Clockwork I need my windows (vista) computer correct ? and it looks like I am going to be using command lines also (not a big deal for me)... I saw that i am going to need android SDk and also tegra drivers as well?
I am not looking for the easiest way looking for the best way ... Sorry for asking again however being a noob to Android I just want to make sure that I am doing things right.. is there any other information that would help you guys help me? let me know... again thanks you guys... still in freak out mode and dont want for my money to have been thrown away...I appreciate the help....you guys rock

Best way is to download the Android SDK (to get ADB), the Tegra drivers and NVidia's SDK which includes nvflash. You can get the Tegra stuff here or over at our sister site, tegratab.com (we started putting stuff up there while waiting to get our own forums here on XDA). To get nvflash access, you'll need to modify the Android SDK's INF file (if you're on Windows). Nvflash can get you out of almost anything. Best to back up your images using nvflash before you flash anything else, that way you've got a copy of what's on YOUR tablet as it comes, stock. Since you're stuck in a bootloop, I'd guess you no longer have any stock partitions so maybe just pick up the stock images from over on tegratab.com. They should be fine for you but it's nothing like having a pristine copy of your own images.
Hope that helps. Not sure if I gave enough detail but shout if you need more. We have some really good people here.

Yes you need a PC for NVflash. If clockwork fails then your going to have to NV flash back to stock.

Hey guys I would like to thank you for your responses

I plan to incorporate his method into my TnT Lite post, there's some good stuff in there.

Please help me guys! Urgent?

Hey, I'm new to the forum and I came here to desperately seek help on saving my tablet's life.. So It's obvious that I'm new to flashing too because today I tried to upgrade my android version to Froyo with Rockchip tools, I held down power + home buttons, I plugged in the usb, I installed the drivers and the program recognized my tablet. So I began flashing but at the middle of the process an error message came up that said something like: "can't continue flashing, restart process" or something like that, so when I unplugged the usb to restart the process, first I tried to boot my device and found out it could no longer boot neither it could be detected from my computer in flashing mode!! Plss tell me how can I fix this, my mom's gonna kill me..
Oh and I forgot to mention that afterwards I realised that the rom was actually not meant for my device ^^
PS I'm very sorry if I posted in the wrong place or if I seem pretty noob but it's kinda.. true Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

hmm... it might help if you tell people which tablet & model you are trying to fix
people here might be developer, might be techie, but i doubt any of us are mind reader

Sph P100 NOT FOUND ON QSTP

i did a search on this form and i couldnt find nothing similar. to make a long story short when i bought this tablet i was able to put it on DIAG using launcher pro and a few other steps of coarse. and i u was able to read this device on QSTP and i used to get this on QSTP FFA6550-ZRF6500 same one as my Epic 4G. mow here is what happened i was flashing a stock tar ROM with Odin and by accident i checked the clear EFS on Odin and after i a succesfull process after my tab rebooed of caorse y lost all my 3g activation from the tab and when i went to QSTP to load all my activation again it was not able to be detected it on QSTP anymore. now if i go to device manager on windows or QSTP configuration its shows on what port the tab its connected on but under phone number it says NO PHONE. iam wondering what did got wiped? radio or what did i lost? or how can i get back this FFA6550-ZRF6500 or what ever its the right one into this tab? i know it used to have FFA6550-ZRF6500 but i dont know if there is another one for this tab or not. if anyone has any info please let me know thanks in advance..

im pretty sure this is the wrong forum. this is galaxy tab plus. i think youre looking for original tab.
by accident you clicked clear EFS? this place gets better everyday.

It disturbs me that in every one of your posts you are mixing up the names of critical tools and systems. I would take a step back, read and understand the systems and processes you need to work with, and then try again.
You sound, to me, like you are rushing to be one of the cool kids without doing your due diligence

Well, to be honest your writing style makes it incredibly hard to figure out what you are even talking about, and of course you aren't going to find what you need when you aren't even using the right terms. It's QPST, not QSPT or any thing other than QPST.

oh **** lol. my bad i didnt notice that. yes thats what i ment QSTP to flash or edits phone. sorry about that. its sucks having bad eyes like in my case. thanks robyr.

and you're in the wrong device forum as no tab plus has qualcomm chips, I imagine you have the Original 7" Tab correct?
I would still be willing to help, but I havent used the QSTP tool that much. We are familiar with Odin. you say you have no 3G, so you're ROM boots up? Can you check if you have an IMEI or an /EFS folder present? If not you may have a very difficult time recovering if its possible at all.
What do you use QSTP for? flashing radios?
More clear info and we can try to help, although Id start by searching you're devices thread.

thanks chrisrotolo for you reply. well i have a sprint version of the galaxy tab 7 inches. sph p100. when i first got it i was able to put it on diag mode to be able to flash it to my boost mobile account. and qhen i sued QPSt i was abel to edit the phone or what ever its called on the tablet and i had it working for over a year. but i was doing a clockwork and recovery flash trough ODIN and i dont know how the hell y checked clear EFS and the damn activation disapeared and when i tryed to reflash it again to my account but QSTP wasnt able to detected. it does show up on the device manager and it shows as the modem and the port wich its using. just like it used to before this whole thing started. but now on QPST it not showing up. this whole,thing its stupid. i dont know what the hell it got wiped when the clear EFS was checked. i had done this clear EFC crap on my spint Epic and i dont have that issue am able to go back to QPSt like nothing ever happened. its just this damn tablet its now showing up as a phone like it used to.. iam about to smash it..

welp... here you are.. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-imei-efs-repair/
googled it in about 2-3 seconds flat. Restoring IMEI with a box is the probably the best way to go.
I just had my Tab Plus JTAG'ed because I flashed a custom boot loader. ( I was aware I was doing so)
I highly recommend this site. If you're in a rush you can choose rush option. This guy is great, send him an email Im sure he can help.
do you have any /efs folder or nv_data.bin or nv_data.bak files anywhere?
Enjoy. Research a bit more and be careful flashing huh?
Peace.

[Completed] [Q] Verizon Ellipsis 7 Stockrom needed. Flashed Wrong rom on m820

To the wonderful hero who I hope can save me.. I just want to apologize before hand about the lack of tech-ie-ness in this plea for help.. I really am just a money with fancy tools at this point, just banging away making a mess of everything.. lol .. I did my homework after I made a mess. Aka bricked two phones of my my friends.. I took rooting droid as equal to jail breaking iphones... after a lot of reading after I I bricked, I know now the basics... having said that.. I did make a mess.
First I have a m580 I rooted.. too much pot and not enough reading later I hooked a friends m820 up to the same odin set up I used on my m580.. the problem is that m580 has built in keyboard and uses other command to put phone in to download mode.. so the keys dont exist to press to re-flash it with the proper firmware which I have now.. and no one is working on this phone type because its old as dirt..
that was first mess up.. before I learned how vary complex Dev droid talk is... I assumed this VERIZON ELLIPSIS 7 was a jflte type of galaxy s4 and using Flasher or flashy something like that.. I tried to put CWM on the verizon.. now its stuck in boot loop.. I have no back up.. I now know how important that is now.... been doing homework on MTK Droid TOOLS and SP FLASH TOOLS and think if someone would send me a stock rom of the Verizon Ellipsis 7 {qvm7b} I could handle fixing it.. although test runs with it to this point have shown an issue, I have yet to figure out points of contact on board to rest the preloader.. in other words, unable to keep it from rebooting every 5 second so I can flash it with a rom I dont have yet..... holding vol down does nothing.. same thing with any other button combo. .. I have popped off the back of the tablet to unplug battery just to get it to shut off. With what I have learned I feel I can handle any directions ok.. and if I could fix this mess I can handle not destroying any more phone or tablets.. maybe.. lol that is kinda the fun part of having things.. breaking them.. but these things dont belong to me.. anyone who can help me either get the tablet out of boot loop.. and or send stock and/or rooted firmware for the verizon tablet QMV7B I would be very grateful. Or if you know of a program I could use to wipe the m820,with steps by step “how to” for dummies please.. lol

Alright, Im going to be completely honest. I am a complete and total noob to the tech behind smartphones. As Ive been learning, I tried rooting my Samsung Galaxy SII SCH-R760X, and after I attempted to flash a kernel that was suggested by this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/how-to-root-galaxy-sii-sch-r760-generic-t1928566, my phone is now stuck at the logo with a warning sign at the bottom. After all this, I realized I made the worst possible mistake anyone could ever make: I didnt backup my system. Luckily, I didnt have much data on it anyway. At this point I am aware it has become a softbrick, and Ive looked at guides such as this one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development/guide-fix-unflashable-soft-bricked-t1619571, but it still tells me to "put the recovery file in its place". Im assuming he's talking about the backup... which i dont have. If anyone could point me to where I can find a backup for it, or upload one for me, I would be incredibly in debt to you. Thank you for reading, I know how most people feel about noobs, but I dont know where else to go.
Please, if I am doing something wrong with this post, please tell me. I dont want to be an annoyance. In fact, this is my first time ever posting to a forum! Id love to get into smartphone tech, however, since I couldnt find a place to start, I made the foolish choice of simply diving in and ruining my phone (hopefully not permanently). Anyway, thank you for reading! Even if you cant help, I really appreciate the attention. Thanks!

You have already found good threads.
To recover a soft-bricked device, you basically have to flash back an official firmware for your device.
The guide you found was for the GT-I9100G, which is a little bit different from your exact device model.
Here is another guide for other variants of the S2: [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED) by Phistachio.
As there is no "ready-to-go" recovery package available for your device model, you have to get an official/stock firmware for your device.
A link to possible firmware sources is in the first post of the guide you posted.
Flashing the stock firmware with Odin should fix the soft-brick.
If not, maybe a wipe data (= factory reset) in recovery mode (long press Volume UP + HOME + POWER) is needed additionally.
And rooting your device seems to be working with this too: [ROOT] Framaroot, a one-click apk to root some devices by alephzain ... I found some users confirming it working fine to root your device model.
If you still have issues and need further help, please ask in the [Q&A][SGS2][Newbies][Experienced Users][RCs] New members friendly Q&A thread by It_ler thread.
There we try to give detailed help for all variants of the S2.
Good luck !

Thanks for responding man! I didnt think anyone would reply.
I really appreciate the help. However, I downloaded and flashed the droiddroidz kernel turner78 said to flash, and that was what made my phone go softbricked in the first place... I tried flashing the other two kernels instead, and they proceeded to put my phone in bootloop... So, I tried flashing the "Siyah" stock kernel everyone was talking about, and it made this weird eye thing with a yin-yang flash on my phone... And Im sorry Im a total noob, I just recently learned what flashing and kernels were from the help of google :/... Im still a little lost on what Roms are. But reguardless, Im assuming the kernels I tried flashing were incompatible or corrupted, and thats whats making my phone not work. If Im wrong, correct me please. I know my phone is version 1.4.1, but thats about it. I dont know if its "Gingerbread" or "jellybean" or whatnot. Im sure Ive just made a stupid mistake and Im too dumb to know how to fix it.
