[Epic 4G General] vaximily:
I installed OneClick Root + Clockworkmod Recovery on a coworkers phone (actually, 3 coworker, plus myself). One of them has the official Sprint HotSpot ($30 per month), and when I installed Wireless Tether for Root, she said it crawled in comparison (apparently she had two laptops, two other phones, and an iTouch connected to the Sprint Hotspot and two of them were watching video... on 3G...impressive.

So, now I've removed Wireless Tether for Root and she's going to return to the $30 per month service. However, when any device is connected to the Sprint Hotspot app, they won't connect to the internet. I imagine this has something to do with root, so I'd like to restore back to stock recovery (and that way Sprint can fix the problem instead of me trying to deal with it).

So the question is..... is there any way to flash back to stock recovery / no root, WITHOUT clearing out all of her data, apps, etc?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] mikel719:
You can use odin to flash back to stock DI18 with no root.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
If you are on stock rom why dont u use mobile ap? Its just as fast as sprint mobile hotspot and works on 1x/3g/4g all quickly. I agree wireless tether does crawl. Thats why im on mobile ap and stock rom til the mobile ap gets working on Froyo Deodexed roms.

Look in my signature for mobile ap link. I love it im able to stream netflix on my ipod touch with it and browse on my computer and phone all at the same time and still blazing on all speeds.
[Epic 4G General] vaximily:
I've not used Oden before, I've seen the term but not actually sure what it is?? All of our phones are running the last leak of Froyo (the one that was supposedly official, then turned out to be a leak).

If I go the Odin route, will it clear out all of her data and apps?

I'll check that out. Is it an actual hotspot instead of Ad-Hoc mode?
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Yes using Odin will make it like it was a brand new phone. It removes everything. Root, clockwork, apps, data. The only thing it doesn't touch is the sd card
[Epic 4G General] vaximily:
Alright, is there any way to get it back to Stock Recovery without wiping the whole phone back to factory :confused:
[Epic 4G General] vaximily:
Anybody know? :confused:
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
As far as I know there is no uninstaller for clockwork. The only way I know is Odin but it wipes everything. I think that might be your only option but I might be wrong. I haven't seen any other way to uninstall clockwork. You can run a root uninstaller but that won't get rid of clockwork.
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
This thread has an option for uninstalling clockwork recovery. Haven't tried it myself.

[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
You should be able to restore stock recovery by making a tar file containing just recovery.bin from SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 and flashing that with Odin.

You can definitely restore stock recovery by extracting recovery.bin, putting it on your sdcard, grabbing a copy of "redbend_ua" (i.e., from the one click zip) and doing the following with adb:

adb push redbend_ua /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su # Press "Allow" at the on-screen prompt.
/data/local/tmp/redbend_ua restore /sdcard/recovery.bin /dev/block/bml8

But this won't fix your problem. "Rooting" likely didn't cause the problem either, especially if all you did was install wireless-tether afterwards.

Did you try power-cycling the phone since using wireless-tether and trying the Sprint hotspot app again?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnyank:
Hi,

I bought my Tab in the States a few weeks back and brought it home to Switzerland. I downloaded Lag Fix from the market and it put my tab to sleep. I was able to get into Flash mode and via Odin tried to flash P1000XXJK5 with a Euro PIT, it went through 95% and then failed and stalled. I tried to turn it off, then it went dead and all I can get now is a blank screen with indirect back light. No OS, little guy with a shovel, nuttin!

I also tried installing Android Commander, but it can't see it either

Can anyone help?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sedde:
Well in order to fully brick a device, you need to corrupt the updating proccess while flashing the bootloader, otherwise its most of the times fixable by the user.

So if at that point you where updating the bootloader and it stopped then you are screwed.

If not, i would let its battery to fully die from leaving it on for some hours, and then charge it for an hour, if you are still getting a indication like that then you are screwed.

If you are at least able to get the Phone --!-- Computer sign, you are good to go. Let me know how did that go.

does anyone have a solution on how to unbrick vz tab?!?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boodafli:
here's what you should do. let's start from the very beginning.

1. download heimdall. get it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755265

2. download the stock verizon files. get them here: http://www.blackmugmedia.com/Android...n/VZW Stock/

you need all four files.

3. download the drivers for the samsung sch-i800. find those here: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/co...v1.3.350.0.exe

4. unzip heimdall. go into the drivers folder, and run zadig.exe. at the top, select 'list all devices'. go to the dropdown menu, and select Samsung Composite USB (i'm pretty sure that's what it was called.) click start, and let it run.

5. open the heimdall front end.

6. put system in system (if you're flashing to ec02, then put factory in system)

put cache into cache

put param into param

put the zimage into both the kernel and recovery slots.

7. turn your tab off, and plug it into the computer using USB. hold down the power and the volume down buttons until you see the little droid dude with a shovel.

8. click the start button on heimdall.

9. wait for the flash to complete (don't unplug your device, obviously, during the flashing.) once your phone reboots, it's okay to unplug it.

10. now, boot into the stock recovery, and wipe data and cache. update to ec02

11. enable usb debugging.

12. plug your phone back in to the computer.

13. now run superoneclick for root. get that here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

14. either play with it in stock, or go find oldmacnut's excellent Better Than Life Rom, and follow the instructions to flash that.

15. enjoy your tab!

Go download it folks! Looks like everything is working on my mt4g .. 3D maps, etc.
[myTouch 4G General] jonathan3579:
Yeah, but rotate is still partially broken for our phones as of this moment. :(
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
The MT4G is still not on the list of supported devices. Something isn't adding up there though. Why would the original Droid be supported, but not the Nexus One when the N1 is much more powerful hardware? That's like a P4 supporting Windows 7, but not a Core i7...
[myTouch 4G General] clamder:
What's wrong with the rotate?
[myTouch 4G General] jonathan3579:
It only works if you click the compass twice. It doesn't work if you try to use it via multitouch.

And why would the G2 be supported yet not our phone? I have a few questions on this device list they have.

However, I think it's understandable why the Droid gets support over the Nexus One. I'd say it has something to do with the multitouch hardware but that again doesn't explain why we aren't supported...yet?
[myTouch 4G General] clamder:
I don't see that issue.. I'm able to rotate just fine and use the 2 finger panning, etc.

[myTouch 4G General] chrisjs81:
Once it starts recognizing the multitouch as a zoom it won't let you rotate. Have to pick your fingers up and try again, maybe that's what you experienced?

[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:

3d maps isn't available everywhere. You just have to zoom into somewhere that has it, like vegas.

[myTouch 4G General] ArcticWolf91:
Multi touch rotate works great for me. Btw, Los Angeles does have 3D buildings. Try downtown LA, and you also have to zoom in kinda of a lot to see the 3D buildings.

[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
I was able to get 3D buildings in Manhattan without a problem. In fact, you don't even have to zoom in to street level to see 3D. See if restarting your phone will help.
