If anyone is able....and willing to help, I'd be most grateful.
I know there are many pages in the forum and the net that touch on this, but as one post puts it, almost too many.j
that is the least of the problems. I am a total newbie and get so confused.
When I originally rooted my phone it was with help from someone, now a friend, who I found on YouTube. I always saw confusing ways to root, where you can't miss ONE character. Somehow, don't ask me, feel free to tell me, we rooted with hardly any of that . Some character typing was done, but a lot was using programs, ROM managers, etc.. and hitting buttons.
So it was Rooted and I had no problems flashing ROMS
Now selling. I was gonna sell with MIUI...as I advertised. It was recommended by someone on here to put the factory firmware on .
1. That means flash the original MyTouch 4g firmware/UI/whatever?? ...or does it mean unroot
2. If it means the former, I found one site it gave me this file PD15IMG can I just flash that. It led me to believe I can. It won't be unrooted but it would be the original ROM
3. Or should I unroot. Is anyone willing to walk me thru some steps on here, maybe thru PM...I just get so confused by this stuff because it talks about s=on or ???
4. Lastly, this gent recommended I flash that OR reflash whatever I am gonna send, then Factory wipe. I thought reflashing WAS factory resetting.
Can you tell me how to factory reset AFTER I flash a ROM
LIke I said, I have searched and did find some of this in different places but in jargon I don't understand
So please if you could answer any one or all of the above Id be grateful. If you like I can paypal you 5-10 dollars or a few more if we spend time on it.
Sincerely
Eric
Did you root your phone with Gfree or the root.sh method?

Actually you can put the PD15IMG file on your SD card and boot up into bootloader. It will ask you if you want to apply the update...say yes. BE PATIENT. It will get you back to stock.

Check the development thread for the RUU file posted by Football. Name it pd15img.zip put it on the root of your sdcard, boot into bootloader and let it flash. That's it. Super easy, no dicking around with anything else.
DON'T FLASH IT WITH RECOVERY!

Much thanks to the 3 of u. It may be a non issue...as I am not hearing back.from the buyer and it was advertised to be sold with MIUI with pics and he may have liked the iPhone 'look' In answer to your questions I was helped by Mack on YouTube to root. I do t k ow which way. I DO know it was the easy way....it involved very little typing and worrying about messing up a character
I have only used ROM Manager and CWM within that. When I reboot I see the option for bootloader. Is it 'dangerous?'
This is what I am gonna do tell me if correct
Take that last link. Hook up to Computerput in root of SD card. Hit restart except dont hit normal
or recovery...hit bootloader...it will restart...maybe hit yes or enter when asked
-only if he gets back to me today if not tomorrow is the 5 th day since he bought it and I have a 4 day turnaround so I will mail as advertised. He has 0 points, sales or purchases on EBay
-for some reason I am getting no email notification for xda when I select it.
-I get some keys that dont type occasionally it may have started with MIUI. could that be beccause of it. Someone on here, a senior told me as good as MIUI is it is unstable
-regardless of which I flash/leave on. How about the factory research tying. Thought that was just the reflashimg. For MIUI I JUST hit wipe data in recovery right after flashing and restart. I guessed that because I did that once by mistake and it restarted with MIUI there
I appreciate all your help and patience here. For all of you I can't give u more than thanks for hopefully getting me thru this. I dont think its my lack of intelligence that can't do it. Its my anxiety, health situation and lack of fundage to be able to brick a phone. No mas for me
That same gent told me that he thinks in HTC phones that once u flash a ROM he thinks u lose ROOT?
I hope to hear back and have a good day

No, it is not dangerous. The last link is the RUU (PD15IMG) of the stock ROM. And your steps are good to go. Go into bootloader and let it do its thing.
Flashing rooted ROM's will not make you lose root. You only lose root flashing an unrooted ROM, such as a stock ROM.
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.

this morning, I managed to get back to the recovery boot screen and found that if I press the house icon it show up a menu.. but this menu giving me access to reboot, wipe cache, data or install update.zip (which was supposed to fix my problem) but this menu is blued out and unaccessible..
dunno if it helped..
right now, I am trying to get acces to my phone doing the no battery boot thing but my pc doesnt seem to recognize my phone + I am at work hehe so I am pretty much limited in acces due tu the it protection and firewall stuff
I am gonna try to redo that stuff tonight at home but meanwhile, if any of what I described may give you a clue on how to help me, I really appreciate the effort!

I say you needed to use the g2x android development forums on this site to find a suitable jb rom, not this other site. The one click method isn't very stable, so nvflash is most definitely what you need to try to get working. There are very thorough tutorials on how to get that to work. Do you know which clockwork recovery version you have installed? Should be 5.0.2.0. Once you get home, I suggest you read read read. Do as much research you can to make sure you can follow nvflash instructions to the letter. I know I personally spent about a week researching to make sure I had a solid understanding of the procedure.
I recommend getting nvflash going to get clockwork properly installed, then download a rom from xda, nowhere else. I would even say use a gb rom before trying a jb ...the jb roms are hackfest versions, so they have (from my experience) much poorer battery life, and lack hardware acceleration. Netflix and many 3d games won't work. You can use adampk or mazout's roms but they don't have working radio, i.e. no phone/SMS functionality.

Boot into recovery, there should be an option to format or wipe system. Do that then flash the ROM. It won't boot if you flash it over stock.
Also, use the paranoid android rom found in the development section, same cyanogenmod base but works better.

Ok, wait I think I understand what you're saying now. If you can, pm the op of that thread you used to unbrick. Ask that person if you need some kind of different file in that .zip file to work on your carrier.
I remember having to use that guide to get back to stock. Glad to see you're making progress. I know it can be frustrating when devices get wacky. Good luck!

Ok, I have a phone that I purchased used. When my S3 got the Jellybean update in December, I found out it had Clockwork Recovery Mod installed on it. It scared the hell out of me, but I went ahead with the update and it was fine. I am a complete newb to rooting and would never root my phone (I lack the skills). When the update went through in December, I was relieved. For more details on all that, see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048805
Today's update was a different story. This update appears to have broken my phone.This time, it won't even boot up. It just say "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless Store for help." Any suggestions on how to fix this? Am I completely screwed? I have almost no knowledge of rooting, ODIN, etc.

The weirdest thing just happened. Ok, I put in ODIN mode and pressed cancel. Then like 3 minutes later, it just started up all on its own. The update failed of course but the phone is working again. Weird. Was able to turn it off and restart.
I think I may trade this phone back into the same folks who sold it to me. I am clearly not cut out for this.
i'm glad the problem solved by itself
anyway if you still want to attempt to reset the phone to stock here is everything you should need to know :

let us know how it went and don't hesitate to ask for help if you are still in doubt after reading the forum
I hate how I am average Joe with my root knowledge and I could fix your phone without thinking twice.

Good morning XDA Devolopers,
I have used this site for many a year now but today had to sign up to get some help.
I purchased my SM-920F from Ebay, and low and behold, it had been blocked here in the UK, ever the optimist i looked about online and indeed there are several options online, including some services for remote unlocking, i decided it was worth a shot and ordered it, only from there on it goes from bad to worse.
After the unlock i was constantly greeted with Security Errors and Warning, i contacted the company who unlocked it, and was told to re-flash the rom with the same baseband version, after alot of hunting i found a rom from SAM Mobile and away i went, flashed and all seemed to go well i waited and waited, phone stuck on the boot screen. Galaxy S6, powered by Android...
I returned to the unlocking company asking for advice, only to be called a liar and they would never suggest i reflash the rom or firmware.
So now im stuck with a brick, ive tryed all i can think off and all i can research and i just cant make any progress. I did note after the unlock SuperSU had been installed on my phone (i wasnt made aware the unlock required them to root my phone, they tripped knox in the process).
I have a SM-920F origonally on O2 UK, i have tryed flashing there rom with no joy.
Im desperate to have this phone orking, even if its just for calls, my wife is currently at the hospital with our son whos fighting for his life against cancer, and all i get is abuse from here, i dont get paid till the 1st of the month so a new phone is out of the question at present. The unlocking company i used are tools, and to think iw as mighty impressed at the time.
I do have SOME cash, if theres a pro out there who wants to make a few bucks and can remote connect to me to help me solve this it would be much appreciated, i am just now stuck and desperate and badly need the help of the community.

If anyone out there can help me please, if i could get on my knees and beg i would, im so desperate now to be able to just recieve calls from my wife and the hospital at this **** time for us.
Please please please someone somewhere must be able to help me out

Thanks for ya info.
Having installed TWRP i noticed something very intresting, TWRP reports no operating system is installed.
Ive taken a leap of faith and using ODIN am now flashing the Stock 5.1.1 ROM.
Will report back in a few mins.
Okay so TWRP is installed, it reported no operating system.
I reflashed the Stock rom, all went well as expected, phone still refuses to boot.
I have reflashed TWRP and completed a factory reset. Again no dice, still wont boot.
Any further help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

There is a ROM called AllianceROM, I've read that it's on of the best for the G920F.
Okay so as promised.
1. Flash Stock 5.1.1 ROM (Phone will not boot after)
2. Flash TWRP with ODIN
3: Reboot into TWRP and mount filesystem via MPT (i had to disable then enable it for my computer to detect it)
4: Copy ROM to phone (As a ZIP)
5: Using TWRP install ZIP
6: Follow Instructions
7: Dalvik / Cache Clear (it asks after the rom is installed)
8: Reboot
9: Wait
10: Wait Some More
11: TADA
Phone has booted and connected to the network, the AllianceROM suggested above will work in very much the same way! same process.
Thats all i did. After a week of gueswork i want to thank the chap who provide me some guidance both here and via PM
Phone is now running and working, i wish i could have stock rom but you cant have it all.
On a side note if you choose to use IMEI Gurus to unlock your phone, i highly suggest you dont, there after sales support are shocking, and they refunded my money even though its not what i wanted, had the provided the help i found here id not have been so stressy with them. There service does work, but they will root your device (which they dont mention in there sales pitch they will trip knox (again not mentioned) and once done you cant actually factory reset the phone with any method. ANd youll be here reading this.
Yes there services work, but guys please make your own informed decisions about there service, would i buy again from them? i doubt it, but needs must and all that.
THanks everyone
