I want to put everything back to stock so I can start over and learn things myself. I'm very familiar with Android phones and rooting.
I searched but couldn't find a walkthrough.
Thanks guys!
how hard did u look???think there must be a million posts!
download your stock rom,
extract the .nbh file,
format sd card, fat32,
rename .nbh file to leoimg.nbh
copy that to sd card
turn phone on with vol down and should ask if u wanna flash rom,
tht will turn it back to stock spl, radio everything.

P.S. the reason i said that is because there is no easy way of fixing your phone if you brick it, unless you jtag which cost more than getting a new phone.
As far as I know, Android will only run off of the sd card, after booting into windows. Android does not reside on the phones memory. There could be a WM program on your phone that automatically boots android once windows is started up. In that case, remove the program, and if you want, delete the Android folder off of the sd.
Have a look at the this thread, and you will see that Android will only run off of the sd....WM is still the OS for the phone.

Hi, you could always go down the safe way of flashing official stock ROM from your country's HTC.x webpage. You will find download link and instructions under the HD2 support page. So if you remove the SD card your phone should boot into winmo even if it has an automatic bootloader. Once you connect your phone with your PC, flashing is automatically done after running the .exe file. After that, search the xda forum for the latest radio and WinMo ROM of your prefference. Good lucm and have fun...

How do I upgrade my radio?
I have been following DCD's wonderful (thank you so much), ROMs and just installed 3.2.2 last night, so I'm not unfamiliar with the process. Then I realized that I was on an old radio. So I tried to upgrade. Here are the steps I followed.
1. Downloaded the latest radio (3.42.15 ?) nbh file.
2. Placed the nbh file in the RUU folder of the 3.2.2 kitchen.
3. Ran the RomUpdateUtility.exe that was in that folder.
It looked like it was pushing it to my phone when.....
I got an error after the phone said about 4 or 5%.
I'm sorry for the lame-o-nubie-like question. I really thought I understood this process.
What am I missing?
Thanks for your patience.

Upgrade radio by placing radio .nbh file on sd card and renaming TITAIMG.nbh, force bootloader and press power to install. You will not hard reset your phone by doing this method but you will by using RUU.

FYI: if you use this method, I'm pretty sure the SD card has to be FAT32 formatted.

True, I didn't cover that but there is much I didn't want to have to cover in my quick response. Make sure to read the wiki here for full instructions on formatting and flashing.
Edit: He did say he read the wiki, but as a counterpoint he tried to paste the nbh file into the RUU. Rule of thumb is to always follow the wiki to the letter for best results.
i don't mind hard resetting...in fact....I prefer it.
are there any instrctions for using the RUU?

Hi sudermatt,
Almost all 3.xx radios are having problems flashing via RUU. Bite the bullet and pick up an SD card it will be well worth it.

Hi glenl,
Correct, the Verizon XV6800 does not include an SD card.
can i flash my radio this way using someone else's card (for his Hermes) and it won't disturb anything on the card, and then he can delete my files after?

as long as the card is already formatted properly... otherwise just back up his card's contents and format it appropriately (fat32) if need be. make sure its not a high-capacity MicroSDHC...
You can unlock and install official signed rom that includes radio.
Then overwrite OS custom rom.

Hi,
I've downloaded a couple different roms.
When i run SDDL+ it just resets my phone. When i look in the prg directory i find the TG01WP_00.tsw file is renamed to TG01WP_00.enc and that is all.
If i rename it back to TG01WP_00.tsw, then run the SDDL downloader, it just tells me there was an error resetting my phone.
does it matter where i put the SDDL files? I have them in the base folder of SD card.
Anyone want to help me with noobieness?
Sounds like you're doing everything right SD/SDDL+ and SD/prg/TG01WP_00.tsw
Best posting this in the ROM section to see if anyone has an answer.

SDDL+ Method

Click to collapse
So, i downloaded and Unrar'd SDDL.rar, and placed on SD Card.. CHECK
I created a folder called PRG on my SD Card... CHECK
I placed the ROM renamed to TG01WP_00.tsw in the PRG folder.. CHECK
I executed SDDL+ on the SD CARD.. CHECK..
As i mentioned in the first post, the phone just resets. In the PRG folder the file is renamed from TG01WP_00.tsw to TG01WP_00.enc
and no new rom.
What did i miss Souljaboy.. i know it's obivious and i'm retarded, but hold my hand on this one. And i haven't tried the Pinflash method, yes i realize.
I think you don´t have to rename it back to TG01WP_00.tsw. If you have the TG01WP_00.enc in your PRG folder just start SDDL+ and it will flash the Rom. I have no problems with that.
Which Rom do you want to flash?
Erm.....what phone you got? which country? did you fully charge your battery?
which rom you try to flash ? more info will help others to trouble shoot your problem you know.
Also people `DON`T` get paid for helping you so be nice when you ask for help.
was trying to flash to arag0n85's rom v14.4
just checking
1. are you using SDDL+ and if you are try to redownload it n try again
2. master clear first and have a clean sd card then have PRG and SDDL+ files in the root.
if you have tried the above then try a differrent rom and see what happens

I've tried a few different roms.. but i'm using my standard SD card.
Is it a problem that it's an 8gb SDHC?
I'll try and get a cheap 2gb one and try it.
Is everyone else doing it with a clean SD card?
I´m using the original SD-Card, too and i have no problems with this. Try a Rom created by Novembre5.
I have many stuff on my card and i never clean it up before flashing. It always works as it should. But you can format your card. Maybe this fixes your problems.
Redownload all needed stuff, clean up your card and your phone and give it another try. I´m sure this will work.

It's the TG01, from England. The battery is fully charged. SDDL+ won't let you flash if it's not, even if its 90% and you're on AC it still won't let you.
I've tried a few roms now. I just tried Novembre5's and it did the same thing.
I'm going to attempt pin flash method in the morning.. if i can get the back off my phone haha.
I tried it with a freshly formatted SD card.. same result.

I just got the viewsonic g tablet. Ive followed several guides as to how to root it and get recovery on the device and flash a new rom, and I've failed completely and i think may have damaged my ability to get into any recovery. I believe i installed clockwork correctly v.8 correctly. I read that after you do that you can delete the folder called recovery and the existing update.zip so i did. I replaced the update.zip with the newest version of tnt lite 4.4 i believe. However every time i try to get into recovery it does not work. It turns on, says recovery key detected and then flashes a package for about 5 seconds, then boots up into the normal tablet os. It is as if every time i go into recovery or attempt to, it repeatedly installs clockwork recovery. So i feel at this point i cannot even get into any recovery whatsoever. I just tried a factory default erasure, but that this point i don't know if i altered the recovery to do that. If anyone could be so kidn as to help me out here and walk me through what im doing wrong or how you can save my ass i would be so greatful.....
Damn, I always hit thanks instead of reply, talk about bad GUI or blind clicker....
this is exactly what is hapening, you must have an update.zip in the root of the internal memory just to help you figure it out
sdcard = internal memory 16GB
sdcard2 = external card Whatever size you place
Try removing the sd card if you have one the update.zip could be there also...
either way try to figure it out, but you are definitely flashing a file, it's not a bug if I can say so... good luck!
Also this confirm you do not have clockwork installed but the original recovery (no menu, simply grab the update.zip and flash it!)
and read this again maybe

heres the thing. I don't understand what is going on. when i put in my actual sd card. i cant get the file explorer to see it or reconize it for some reason. this is what is killing me, initally when i went into es file explorer it showed sd card and sd2 but later it wouldnt show up when i had an sd card in there. I appreciate your help, i really feel like im killing my tablet here. I had the update.zip on the internal memory or sd card as it reads, not on the actual sd card because i couldnt find the sd2 file system. what do i need to do again now that you know this?
this is the complete sotry of how i got to where i am ......... i first tried to installed zroot and failed. then i dloaded clockwork mod .8 for i believe sd and accidently put it on the internal sd and got confused. i did the power off then power and volume up. it then installed i guess clockwork. then i powered on, deleted the recovery folder and update.zip from the internal sd because a forum post said to since u didnt need it for clockwork. So i then dloaded a rom. then tried to go into clockwork but like i said it kept saying recovery key detected and flashed clockwork mod. and does that over and over. so i then added a recovery folder back with a text file that said command and a command line within that text file. and i dladed the most current stock rom and named it update.zip figuring that if i bring it back to normal i could start over. but everytime i would try to go into recovery it would just seem to flash clockwork. so now im very lost and have no idea how to fix this. ALL i want to do is have root access and flash a rom and I feel like i completely screwed this up and am at a loss.
1. Remove recovery folder and update zip from both sdcard and sdcard2.
2. Add the clockworkmod zip to the root of sdcard. (make sure you are using CWM for internal SDcard)
3. Using Esfile explorer extract the contents of the clockworkmod zip.
4. You should now have a new recovery folder and update zip on \sdcard.
5. Power off.
6. Power on holding the volume +.
7. CWM zip will be flashed. (should only take a few seconds) and then tab will boot normally.
8. Reboot into recovery and enjoy the CWM goodness.
P.S. All the custom ROMs come already rooted. No need to root ahead of time.
Duplicate instruction removed
thekafka,
First, read this info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010943
If you indeed have a working ClockWorkMod, all you have to do
is copy the update.zip file to your /sdcard directory. The shut
down and start CWM using power / volume +. The use the
menus to tell it to load the update.zip and find the update.zip.
You don't have to have the recovery folder with CWM, but you
do need update.zip (you said in your summary you erased it!)
If this doesn't move you ahead enough to work, clarify what
you did this time and what happened and we'll look for Plan B

Bump for this kind fellow. I have in the span of a week taken my Gtab as close as it is possible to bricking, and managed to get it back into working condition with instructions from elsewhere on this forum.
The good news is that with a little elbow grease, and assuming that you don't break the hardware, you are just fine. The Tegra2 platform is hard to brick, and if all else fails you can use Nvflash to rebuild the partitions and write a stock image to flash. If you think you have done something really bad to your ROM, reverting to a stock image may be a reasonable next step.
-Buzzz
Read the install notes
For starters depending on what version of the OTA you are on 3588 etc.. on the TnT lite install in recommends that cwm not be used.
TNT Lite is an alternate 1.1 based ROM for the GTab, based on the stock ROM that Viewsonic supplies. This will flash system, bootloader and your kernel, so be aware of this. Clockworkmod is NOT recommended for use with TNT Lite flashing (as it does not update the bootloader as required by the vendor), but it is an option if you feel you must use it (ie. if you are stuck in a boot loop and need to wipe your user data). It is a "mostly stock" ROM.

You might need to read up a bit more or use an older version. I have bricked this tablet more than a few times. I use linux to nvflash and have nvflashed from 3991 back to 3588 and still been able to drop tnt lite 4.2 back on it.
You might need to read this a few times.. I keep reading the dang thing over and over...

So I'm trying to install cyanogen rom on my lg optimus t and did everything i thought i was supposed to. PArtitioned the SD card and created folder 'AAA' where I placed the rom zxip file, per the attached instructions i was following. Wiped appropriate data and even did a backup via system recovery menu. However, when i went to flash the rom via the system recovery menu, I get E:no zip files found. I can't do a NAND restore either. I pretty certain that the zip file is on the sd card in the zip folder but can't get to it for some reason. Any body got any ideas? phone won't reboot either, stuck at the android splash screen.
Here's the instructions I was following //lgp500.wordpress.com/2011/07/07/gingerbread-cyanogenmod7-rc1-rjtchn-installation-guide/

Sigh. Did you copy the file before you partitioned the card? If yes, then you should have realised that the partitioning process will wipe all data on the sd card. Connect the phone to a computer and copy the zip file again.
yes the last thing i did was to copy the zip file the folder i created after partitioning. the folder was created on the fat32 part of the card. unfortunately, when i toggle the USB mass storage from the recovery menu, the drive doesn't show up on my computer. The phone won't start up now and so I can toggle it through the OS either. Is there some way to get the drive to show up when toggling the USB -MS through the recovery menu?
Possibly there were some errors when copying. If you have a card reader then try connecting the card to the computer through it. Else try partitioning again thorugh recovery, then see if the drive shows on the computer.
so i got the rom flashed and seems to be working but i'm not seeing the notification bar. anybody had this issue with cyanogenmod7-rc1?
Hem as far as getting your PC to recognize your phone when it
Plugged in the USB its prolly do to a lack of phone drivers. Don't know if the would be in the android sdk. Found allmy HTC phone drivers with it. And as far as the status bar h should be able able to change font colors St inthe cyanogenmod options under settings. Hope this helps some

i'm a noob

Reflash the Rom you are using just don't wipe anything. You will have your files back and no data will be deleted. Just be careful what you delete in the future. You can also get these files from the Rom you flashed just unzip and locate them with search. Should be under system/app

Download directly to SD card using only your phone?
Must someone use a separate computer to download/extract/transfer a file to thier phone; or, is there an app or something that would allow someone to place the file (zip) onto the root of their sd card, without using a separate computer. I only ask; because I am running windows 7 on my laptop (can't seem to get the correct HTC drivers using windows 7, to recognize my phone), my work computer won't allow me to connect any outside devices, and my desktop is connected to my television (it's hard to fight off all the kids to get access).
It would be great if I could figure out how to download/place/rename the file(s) (zip) directly onto my sd card, using only my phone. Any ideas? I have been searing forums for weeks on end and this is my first post.
