Well, it's a very long story, but in short, I tried to restore my YP-G1, something happened, and now no matter what I do, I cannot get it to reboot outside of recovery. I'm not getting any errors, but if anyone could help me, or point me towards a guide on how to ENTIRELY restore this, it would be much appreciated.
First off, you're going to need to download the stock rom files, which are located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850
I'm going to go ahead and assume you have a US player, so in that case you will need to download the file under G1UEKI8, you will also need to download the US pit file.
After you do that, go to the next post in that thread for further instructions, reply back if you need any further help.

Anybody could post an update.zip stock rom, please?
I got my gtab stuck on apx (like tccrews had it) and I need an stock rom update.zip to apply a fix that I found posted here.
Thanks in advance.
Here you go, there's a link to 3588 in this post:
EDIT: Correct me if I'm wrong but if it's stuck in APX mode wouldn't you have to use NVFLASH to get it back to stock? If so then just follow the directions in the post listed below to NVFLASH your G-Tablet back to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950.
More specifically here is the exact link to the download:
http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/tapntap/viewsonic/update-smb_a1002-3588-user.zip.
Just make sure and rename it.
Just because you could have found what you were looking for faster with less threads. Did you try and search for "3389" or "3588" on xda. I do usually every other day to provide the link you were looking for so I know it exists.
Naysses,
I will try to help you, but you are going to have to do a couple of things:
1. Do not post for help in any other threads any more. I think everyone knows you
were upset and desparate -- but it still is bad netiquette and only upsets people and
makes them angry.
2. I have several things for you to do that we have used in the past. It may take us
a day or two of back and forth. But you've got to do them exactly as requested. From
what I have read your PC and tablet must be a mess of software, so I'm going to
start from scratch.
Here's what you need to do:
1. First we've go to make sure you are set up right and have the right software available
and are doing that right. Following is the thread on NVFlashing back to bekit 1105, which
is stock Version 2638. I want you to erase all the NVFlash setup on your PC and then go
in and do this procedure from end to end exactly as it requests. It's
been done a zillion times and will work if your tab is not to messed up to flash right -- and
that's a possibility we will deal with when we get there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950
Double check everything as you go and note any exceptions that might happen.
If this does not give us a workable setup, then we will look at NVFlashing CWM to
repartition and clean up your internal drive -- but don't even worry about that until
we see if a repeated, good flash will work.
Good Luck,
Rev
P. S. -- I know I'm being demanding and hard on you, but lots of people I help don't
do what is requested and waste my time and theirs. If your problem is like I think it
is we need to get it right! I'll check this thread early tomorrow to see how you
are doing.
Ur a good man Rev
I got stuck in APX mode before when using the (newer?) 152KB nvflash.exe when trying to reflash the stock image. With the 140KB nvflash.exe I re-ran the nvflash_gtablet.bat and it worked successfully. You do need the 152kb version to pull and back up the BCT, but I use the 140kb one when using the batch file to restore stock (with stock recovery)and haven't had issues getting stuck in APX since that switch.
ramerco,
Thanks for the warning and update.
However, if he will just stick with what I give him I know that works.
A bunch of people have been messed up trying to install the SDK and
ADB and all on top of the original Procedure roebeet wrote. Drivers
get messed up. Makes it tough in times like this.

Edit: See second post
Hi all. I woke up my tab one afternoon and noticed that the screen was very messed up. I've done lots of Googling and searching but the only problems I find are the "newtons rings" problem... I'm not sure if tthat is what I'm experiencing, but the screen is very messed up, and I have no clue what to do. I am still under the manufacturer warranty, but I'm afraid that if I send it in that they find traces of root, mods, etc. even though I odined to stock. I've attacked pics of what it looks like on some apps/sites, but tthe coloration issue is everywhere. Hopefully its nothing to do with the hardware, but I'd like to hear other opinions. Can someone help me out? thanks.
I think the problem was me ODIN'ing something for a P7105, whatever that is It included a system, recovery, and boot IMG file, so I'm thinking incompatibilty issues.
So I decided to ODIN to complete stock. I went to the "Look here first" thread, and went to this link [ROM]Stock US Retail WiFi listed in the "Available dowloads section". I download the boot_hc31.zip, recovery_hc31.zip, and system_hc31.zip and I know they contain IMG files. My question is how do I go about flashing them? again, I appreciate any help

I'm curious of the answer also. I got the IMG files.
I'm guessing you have to restore it with CWM. Try it.
Alright, I have some weird things going on in my galaxy tab. I think its bricked, but if it is, its definitely only soft bricked.
Figured I'd post a video showing stuff as I cant really explain it. It shows up in my windows, so i can access inside it, but i have no idea what to do, it shows up in Kies, too
I'm wanting to hopefully make it usable, and if not usable AT LEAST get rid of clockwork mod recovery so I can return it!
So how do i fix my tab?
(note i was following the samsunggalaxytabhacks unrooting guide when I did this, I cant link b/c new
7510, btw
did you flash anything prior to this happening? I ask as I used the wrong kernel one time, one that wasn't for TW and when I rebooted it did the exact same thing... Did you make a backup?
Try to d/l one of the custom roms, since kies can see it, place the zip on sdcard and follow the OP to install it.
yeah im pretty sure i used the 3g model/non touchwiz kernal and this happened! i cleared m device, thinking it would fix it i guess i lost my backup!
go to roms section on 10.1 android development, and look for the correct kernel, transfer to sdcard via kies and go to recovery and reflash kernel for the TW. Or just d/l Tasks/Phantoms rom Paris and do the same, follow the OP to a T, that should fix it.
which one would be the right one?
I would use

reload
There is a very good walkthough on putting your 7510 back to stock (first step I would suggest). This walk through gives you all the files you need. I have tested this (files include tested pit files, rom files, etc..)
Hope this helps...

Hey, im new here, and completely new to the whole "custom rom flashing" thing.
I would like to get into rooting my phone and then installing a custom rom like resurrection for example, but I have a couple of questions.
1. Do I need an SD card in my phone, to be able to root my phone/install custom roms? or can I just use the phones internal 16gb memory?
2. Would someone be kind enough to point me to a guide to rooting/installing custom roms for complete newbies like myself? I have searched the forums, but theres so many threads about different stuff, like clockworkmod/odin/cyanogenmod etc, my head is completely boggled. I just don't know where to begin with any of it.
Cheers.
1) No.
2) Everything you need to know is in the Stickies.

1. No you cant root without an SD card? or No you don't need an SD card? elaborate please.
2. Nothing in that thread helps someone like me who is totally new. I don't know what any of it means. Surely there is a simple guide that explains exactly how to root your phone, without linking you to 7 other threads in the process? That's all I've found up until now.
This requires sdcard

Thanks, thats what I was looking for.
One more thing, just so I dont make a mistake, could you tell me which kernel to download? my kernel version is 3.0.15-I9100BVLPB-CL310231
cheers.
Read the bit in bold read which says 'Help ! Which file do I use ?'. This short section answers your question exactly.
ok well i tried CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5-PROPER.zip and my phone no longer boots....
tried CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5.zip and I get the same thing, so im stuck now. great.
I can get into CWM recovery, but I have no idea how to copy the rom I want to use onto the phone when its in recovery mode. This is something that is just not explained anywhere
help?
Right. In order of importance:-
1) No bumping threads within 37 minutes. Not cool. This is not your personal tech support forum.
2) You're having problems. Why ? Who knows. We're not there looking over your shoulder so we have no idea exactly what you did. I suspect you're having problems because you are in too much of a hurry/took shortcuts & didn't do what was suggested immediately after your OP.
3) However...Given the situation you find yourself in, I recommend you do one of two things:-
A) If you are absolutely sure you have CWM Recovery & not Android recovery (I say this because if your phone isn't booting normally, that normally means the flash didn't work & normally CWM wouldn't be successfully installed either), follow whatever instructions the rom you're wanting to flash has.
Every single rom on here has flashing instructions, normally on the first post on the first page of the thread on here devoted to the rom. If you can't be bothered reading those, I can't help you.
or
B) Go to Samfirmware.com. Search for the firmware that was on your phone before you tried to root it. Download this firmware. Flash the firmware you download following the instructions here. If you also end up with a .dll file, bin it. You don't need it. This will give you a clean install of stock. From there, I strongly suggest you read the CFRoot thread very carefully before you attempt to root your phone again. I also strongly recommend you read the Stickies linked to above, so you have some sort of understanding around what's what with this phone.
If you don't, being a betting man, I'll wager there's a fair chance you'll find yourself in the situation you currently find yourself in again (best case scenario), or worst case you'll end up with a 135gm paperweight as many people have on here over the past few days.
It's all up to you now. Your phone's destiny is in your hands.
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
Sorry for bumping, I panicked a little when my phone wouldnt boot. I just expected it to work because I have done things like this in the past and never had problems. Im a pretty tech savvy person really, im just new to android.
I wish it was as simple as reading one thread, but there are dozens of different threads on how to root this phone, and different methods, its extremely confusing.
Im downloading the stock kernel now (300+mb for some reason, and its going to take over an hour to download)
Once I get my phone back to normal, I'll read through some more threads and try and get a better understanding on how to root my phone.
I had it rooted properly as the recovery mode stated CWM in the corner, I think the issue I had was not being able to copy the rom I wanted to use, onto the phone, because I dont have an SD card.
Anyway, thanks for the help, and fingers crossed I can at least get my phone to boot again.
Man, I've never come across anything so complicated in all my life lol.
Edit: Sorted! Flashed back to original kernel and its working as it was before I started. Thanks very much for your help mate, and at least now I know how to restore my phone if I mess it up again in the future.
just thought I would update this thread and say I finally accomplished what I wanted.
Incase anyone is wondering, this is what I did:
Restored my phone back to factory settings/firmware/kernel
Booted the phone up, and copied my rom of choice to the internal memory via USB connection, and enabled debug mode.
restarted in download mode and flashed cf-root kernel (ended up with bootloop)
went ahead and installed the rom via clockwork recovery (creating a backup first)
The phone now boots into the rom im using (Resurrection Remix)
So if anyone is a little worried by getting the bootloop (but can still get into clockwork recovery) try flashing your required rom. Your phone may boot fine with new rom anyway. Mine did.
I rooted my sprint Note 3 when I first got it three years ago and flashed it with a custom ROM. I used it for a year and then got a cell phone from work, so I basically stopped using the Note 3 except occasionally. I decided the other day that I wanted to try updating to a newer version of android on the Note 3. It's been a long time since I messed around with rooting, ROMs, and such, and I did not pay close attention to what I was doing and flashed a ROM that was incompatible. When I restarted, I got a Set Warranty Bit Kernel error. I can get the phone into download mode, but I'm unsure of what to do next to get it back to a usable state.
Is there a guide somewhere to walk me through this process?
Thanks!
Solved
Well, I got the phone working again. I basically followed this guide I found. I tried to paste in the link but I'm still too much of a noob. Anyway, it was on android central, and part of the url was how-flash-stock-rom-via-odin-new-interface. Hope that helps someone.
There was one step not covered in that guide - odin kept saying that the md5 value was invalid. I found a youtube video that said to change the extension of the firmware (it was .tar.md5, changed to .tar). After that, it worked and my phone is back.

There's guides everywhere on this site! Just gotta find the right ones lol. Makes it that much better when you finally find em. Next time make a complete backup of your phone first. I like to use TWRP, you can download it directly from the Play Store. I got my Stock Firmware from this archive:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900P
Make a backup of that then flash away! It'll be a lot easier/faster to recover with TWRP. What ROM did you flash to yours? Just curious cause every one I've tried had multiple issues to where I wasn't even able to use half my phone smh. Then I root it with CF-Auto:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
Through Odin:
http://odindownload.com/download/#.WYX1A4jyuyJ
Then I make a another separate TWRP backup of my Rooted Stock Phone just in case lol. Lemme know if you run into problems again I'll try to help find it and/or fix it. The more problems I deal with the more I learn! :fingers-crossed:
Might wanna get a USB storage or something too cause ALL these backups take up time and space. (My external SD Card slot hasn't worked for awhile!)... does yours?
