Method 1 - Update.zip
http://www.filedropper.com/update2
1. Put the file on the root of your sdcard and rename it to update.zip.
2. Turn off your phone.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Reinstall the battery.
5. Hold volume down + power until you get to a white screen.
6. Use the volume rocker to highlight FASTBOOT and press power to select.
7. Use the volume rocker highlight RECOVERY and press power to select. If you see an exclamation point instead of the blue menu, you might have to press volume up or down to get into the blue recovery menu.
8. Use the volume rocker to highlight and press power to select APPLY SDCARD UPDATE.ZIP.
9. DON'T TOUCH IT UNTIL IT'S DONE AND REBOOTS ON ITS OWN.
10. You should now be in 2.2.1 with all of your data preserved.
Method 2 - pd15img.zip
This procedure will completely erase ALL of your data but it is guaranteed to work.

8. DON'T TOUCH IT UNTIL IT'S DONE AND REBOOTS ON ITS OWN. THIS MIGHT TAKE A WHILE.
9. You will now be on a clean install of Android 2.2.1. Enjoy.

Thank you Phateless!
I've just bricked my phone this afternoon, and been looking for some noob way for recovering it.
It is all because I rooted this phone and might delete some critical apks that caused my phone lost its desktop/main screen.

Doesn't PD15img kill WiFi?
If you read the How To Root. . . thread carefully you will see that PD15img is only partially 2.2.1 and more has to be added to get a full install of 2.2.1 with working WiFi.
After waiting more than a week for an automatic update after I got my phone, I tried the PD15img thing without reading all of the posts and only too late discovered that my WiFi didn't work and a lot more had to be done to get it back. And it appears that PD15img can't be undone. I had decided to take the phone back for an exchange but. . .
That very night TMo did an automatic update from my incomplete 2.2.1 to real 2.2.1, which fixed the problem.
I didn't get the phone from TMo directly and I never gave them my IMEI. I wonder if the automatic update was just luck or PD15img had something to do with it.

Thank you.. My phone hasn't been rooted yet, but I'll give that a try. I hope it's a full update.. That'd suck if my wifi didn't work...

You're thinking of the OLD pd15img.zip that was part of the procedure to undo the OTA update. The one I linked to is the NEW one posted by Football that completely restores to 2.2.1 without issue. NEW radio, NEW SPL, NEW software.
I tested it on two different phones and everything worked perfectly.
You were thinking of this method.

If all you did was delete the wrong APK and it can be restored by flashing a stock image, it certainly is not bricked by any means.

Most people don't know what brick even is they do something wrong and think they bricked it lol I remember in HD2 forum someone did BINFS format and didn't flash rom manually thought he bricked it cause he had no rom installed and only stuck on bootloader. So told him to just flash using LeoCustomRRU as he could do task29 and flash.
BTW NRGZ28 thanks for cooking NRG roms bro loved your 6.5.X work specially the whole 29XXX base as it was most stable and fast to bad HD2 is stolen.

I would check out these instructions

I followed the guide you gave me since i was using an obsolete one and it worked perfectly. My phone says its on 2.2.1 but it doesnt feel like i am.... i remember after my update the market app was completely different, it has this half circle kind of look to it where it featured some popular apps. this version of 2.2.1 doesnt have that. is there any specific reason for that or am i missing something?
thanks again for your help!

The market update itself was a separate update "just to the market app" than 2.2.1. I had to force 2.2.1 on my phone early on; market came later. You should be able to find it in the apps/themes section, or just give it time and it should update itself.

Great post but I really need help.
I guess my phone is from some other batch or ... who know these chinese these days.
Anyways my menu is just different from described.
as folllows:
HBOOT screen
FASTBOOT (gets me to FASTBOOT screen)
RECOVERY (just give triangle makeing out with exclamation point)
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
FASTBOOT sreen
BOOTLOADER (gets me back to HBOOT screen)
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
Don't really want to go with pd15img.zip route to preserve data. (So far)
Thanks
btw - I'm on Simple Mobile so no OTA for me

I don't quite understand your issue here? Is it that you get stuck at the recovery screen with a triangle? Did you read step 7 of the previous posts clearly?
7. Use the volume rocker highlight RECOVERY and press power to select. If you see an exclamation point instead of the blue menu, you might have to press volume up or down to get into the blue recovery menu.

Ok, maybe this time it will post.
Thanks for your answer Genocaust
I'm noob so I'm trying everything that comes to my mind several times before bugging good people.
Somehow my menus seems to be different than expected. Anyways, right after hboot my first screen has following options:
* FASTBOOT
* RECOVERY
* FACTORY RESET
* SIMLOCK
* IMAGE CRC
Clicking on recovery gets me triangle/exclamation screen after several tries i managed to get blue menu by pressing VolumeUP and POWER simultaneously (just up or down does nothing at all).
there is apply update.zip but when clicked returns yellow message:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Invalid operation
and goes black and not responsive.
After waiting for say 20 min decided to pull battery. (phone works, still 2.2)
Tried above few times. Downloaded update file yet another time, even changed file name using file manager on the phone (i know).
I will appreciate any suggestions. I guess next step is pd15img.zip which I wanted to avoid or stay on 2.2
Phone is few days old and all stock
Thanks again

[TUT]Recovery from Locked Out, restore everything

CASE SCENARIO:
My brother went out having a good time last friday. But then he met this girl who played with his phone. She tried guessing his pattern lock so many times that he eventually got locked out.
So now you just enter your login info, and password for the google account you created it with, right?
My brother is not always that smart, so ofcourse he couldn't remember the login details and came crying to me.
Truth is that many people tend to have an email at another provider and never use their gmail account.
SOLUTION:
YOU WILL NEED TITANIUM BACKUP PRO FROM MARKET, OTHERWISE THIS WILL NOT WORK!
OK, in this case it was my brothers Samsung Galaxy S2, but it should in theory work with any device that has an unlocked, or unlockable bootloader.
If your device is rooted with CWM you can skip the step about flashing a recovery/rooting.
If you device isn't rooted you are going to flash a kernel that has ClockWorkMod recovery in it. For SGS2 you can download Siyah from here:
http://gokhanmoral.com
Ensure that you download the TAR version of the kernel.
This is only for ICS ROMs, so if you run Gingerbread you will have to find another kernel for that. CF-ROOT for instance:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Ensure that the latest Kies is installed as it contains all drivers needed for connection.
Download Odin from here:
http://www.google.dk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CCIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fattachment.php%3Fattachmentid%3D581913%26d%3D1304094576&ei=l0mcT-f7EsbHtAa37chO&usg=AFQjCNF7sF0f2yJp0IxHp1ISlP2fzGKhtw&sig2=FVQjxEz15dtQzJjNVZ_xZg
Extract contents to a folder and run the EXE file inside.
Now click on the button that says PDA and locate the TAR file you downloaded (the kernel).
Power off the SGS2 and wait a minute or 2. Eventually pull the battery.
Now hold VOLUME DOWN, HOME, POWER in that order, and keep holding them until a menu comes up. It will ask you if you want to enter Download Mode.
Press VOLUME UP once to accept.
It should be in download mode now.
Connect the device and wait until it says added in the textbox (Odin program).
Another box in the upper left corner should turn green as well.
Untick the option were it says Auto Reboot, and press the start button to flash the kernel.
Wait until it says successfull and remove the USB cable.
Hold the POWER button until it turns off or pull the battery.
Now hold VOLUME UP, HOME, POWER in that order, and keep holding them until the recovery comes up.
In the recovery there should be a option to perform a nandroid backup. Choose to backup, and wait for it to finish.
After it finishes, return using the back button and choose Factory Reset/Wipe everything. Don't worry, you just made a backup.
After it finishes, return with back button and choose reboot system.
When it boots up, you can set up your ROM as you like, but please use a Gmail account you remember and write it down this time
You should be back at a very clean ROM without much in it. Open google (Play Store) market and download Titanium Backup. You will need the pro version and that is a must. It is a very good program, so the money is well spent (I am not affiliated with Titanium Track).
On your phone go to Settings -> Applications and tick the checkbox to allow Unknown Sources. Go to Development and enable USB Debugging.
Open Titanium Backup and click past all welcome screens/changelog etc.
In main windows press menu button and click [More]
Choose to Extract from Nandroid Backup
It should show you the nandroid backup you created earlier. Click it and in the next window click Select All and then Restore.
This can take a while, but when it finishes, reboot your device and all should be good.
If you have a HTC Device you should be able to unlock the Bootloader following instructions from htcdev.com and then flash a ClockWorkMod based recovery.
You then need to flash a rooted version of your ROM or root it otherwise, then the procedure is the same with TB.
Please use the thanks button if you find this useful.

[Q] Wiping Data

I have had my TF700 for about a month and half now after returning my first one to Amazon after tried to install NVflash and bricked it ( that a disaster I do not wish to try again, long story) . Anyways I have been playing with it to become familiar with everything. Now I want to install the official stock JB just to see what it will do. I am rooted and have the OTA Root Saver app. I have downloaded the the US JB zip from Asus and put the zip file in it on the external SD card. Here is where I am stuck. I boot into recovery by using the power button and the volume down button. I release the power button when I feel the vibration and the volume down button when I see the press vol-down vol-up in small lettering in the upper left. I now have the Wipe Data and Android icons on the screen. I use the volume button to move over to the Wipe Data icon and the and then use the power button to select it but then, Nothing happens. I really do not know what to expect since this is a little different from my Viewsonic G tab that has CWM installed and it shows at the bottom screen that Wiping data is in progress. What am I suppose to see after selecting Wipe Date in the Asus stock recovery?
A second question, if I wipe the data will I lose my OTA Root Saver?

First Volume down is to select the icon and Volume up is to execute (not the power button), Second issue, if you use the full version from Asus you are going to wipe out your root. You must use the incremental upgrade file dlpkgfile. Here is the link read post # 87

Stuck on Boot Screen after OTA

Just got a notice for a new OTA update this morning. I applied the update, and now it won't boot back up. I've tried a factory reset (x3), the reset button, and a cold boot. I was on stock, rooted firmware with a locked bootloader. This is the second TF700 to have died on me during a reboot.
Any suggestions for fixing this short of returning it again? Is there a way to flash the firmware via ADB?
Also, it won't off. Any time I use the power button, it takes 10 seconds to respond, and just turns back on again.

I just found that on google prior to you posting. I'm in the process now. Thank you for posting it anyway, hopefully it will help another XDA member fix theirs faster.
Were you using OTA root keeper or SuperSU w/ root preserve? That is the only thing I can think of (other than randomly corrupted update) that would cause this.
Edit:
It's fixed using the steps below:
Link to firmware: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700T&p=28&s=1
Instructions from Transformer forums, though originally from XDA... lol
Steps from XDA:
1. Decompress downloaded .zip file (it will be another .zip)
2. Rename it to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip
3. Format FAT32 the MicroSD card that you will be using for the update process
4. Copy the file to (the root directory of) your MicroSD
5. Insert it into the tablet
6. Shutdown (power off) the tablet
7. Power it on by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons simultaneously
8. When you see white text in the top left corner of the screen, release the buttons ^^ and press VOLUME UP button until you see Android logo and process bar
9. Wait patiently for 10 minutes or so

Yeah i had used the downgrade root and used OTA and SU prior to OTAupdating. Must be to do with this.
Anyway can just use the Motochopper to Root now so don't worry.
Would make sure that after you install do factory reset x3 as my initial install was fairly laggy

how to back to stock rom

Dear All,
I would like to kindly ask you how to back to stock rom?
I found thread with the step-by-step, but i am not able to remove the battery from my tablet.
I have currently cm 10.1.3., tablet: gt-p5100 (3g+wifi)
Thank you in advance.
Rgrds

well, there is no need for removing battery, first backup all your data also in internal storage , Use triangleAway to reset your counter for Official system status and getting OTA updates, download it , open and grant it supersu, click reset flash counter , when its done , power off , press vol down plus the power button it will say promt to continue , click vol up to continue , install usb drivers on your pc , connect your tablet to pc , open odin it should say added in the white info box , click on PDA and select the stock rom file "tar.md5" you downloaded from sammobile and then press start wait for it to end and then reboots , after that unplug your tablet , hold on your power button it'll reboot now quickly press on vol up + power again then release power when you the tablet logo appears and then in recovery select wipe data and perform it then click reboot and voila you got your stock rom back

hi,
I have another issue with my tablet.
When the flashing was done and the device was rebooted, my tablet starts with white screen. unfortunately i am not able to add the link from the outside of the xda forum.
I've tried to flash it with official Polish ROM (version 4.2.2) branded by T-Mobile.
