First off, I must apologize and say. Yes, I know there are all ready two other posts just this week on 'Did I kill my phone, Is it dead etc.'
So, to make a long story short.
After much research, I started at the ppcgeeks.com forums, then ppckitchen.org and finally made my way over here. I decided it was time to start working on updating my phone.
First off; I downloaded the wrong link and flashed the Olipro 1.20 boot loader on the phone, instead of the 2.4x version that is being used now. No big deal, I then got into boot loader mode and went to flash a stock rom to fix the issue. The rom had an error in the middle and reset. Then my phone reset. It went back into boot loader mode and then after using titan_exitbl.exe it booted to the standard HTC screen. After a moment now at this screen it will display the HTC logo and No Radio in red. After much reading I found that I could simply flash my 512mb MicroSD card, and did. And I placed the TITAIMG.nbh file on the root. (that is the only thing on the card) to upgrade the radio. But now when I try to restart into boot loader mode (power, camera, reset) it only resets and does not go into boot loader mode. I can perform a hard reset and go through the prompts there, but after it completes it simply brings me back to the HTC logo, and No Radio.
There is no connection via Active sync, nor through the USB, so I can not use mtty to edit anything on the boot loader end.
I have done quite a bit of reading and I figure this probably has been asked before, but is there a way to get my phone to get back to boot loader mode so I can load at least a stock rom onto it?
I don't know a whole lot about troubleshooting phones considering I have only had mine for a few weeks. However I have worked for Geek Squad for 3 years so troubleshooting is kind of in my nature.
Have you tried putting it in bootloader mode without your SD card in there? If there is something wrong with the .nbh you have on it and it keeps trying to load it when in bootloader, that could be your problem. I would remove the SD card and try bootloader, at which point you should be able to flash via usb.
Worth a shot at least.
Flash a new bootloader like 2.47 via sd. Then start loading radio and rom from there.

Yes I have tried with and without the SD card in the phone. I have also tried with and without the phone connected to a USB cable.
I cannot flash anything to the phone because i cannot establish a connection to the phone via ActiveSync.
Did you try what I suggested? Can you get to just the bootloader screen? Hold power and camera then push reset at same time for bootloader.

That is the problem. I have tried that. power, camera, and reset. And any combination of other button, SD card in/out, USB in/out, and anything else i can think of...
The bootloader screen will Not come up.
What can the phone do? Kinda sounds like it might be bricked.

I know, I hope it is not. This is my phone for work, and my boss is pretty pissed that I might have just bricked a phone he just paid for.
It will turn on from the power button, i can reset it normally with the reset push switch. (it then returns to the HTC logo, and No Radio in red). I can also do the 'bootloader' reset, but this does not bring it to the bootloader, it simply acts as a standard reset. I can also do a 'hard' reset, both of the select keys, and the reset switch. It will then boot into the 'do you want to hard reset your phone' prompt, and it will let me go through those steps that would normally hard reset the phone. After the reboot when that is finished it again goes to the HTC logo and No Radio. So, with that, I sure hope that some part of the bootloader is in tack.
Thank you for your help so far.
Are you sure you are holding both the camera and power button at the same time and then pushing reset button while still holding?

From what it sounds like, you're trying to run the bootloader with and without the SD card in. The problem is, it sounds like you don't have a working file actually on the SD card. It also seems that since you cannot make an ActiveSync connection, you aren't able to transfer files to and from the card.
Do you have a microSD card reader?
Check this out: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome
Particularly Section II.2.A. That may fix your problem.
Hope this helps!
Oh and if it doesn't something you said about your boss having 'just' paid for your phone. If its new enough... w-a-r-r-a-n-t-y!
He can't follow those suggestions on the wiki exactly because he cant get a usb connection. But I agree he needs to load the 2.47 on his card using a adapter then try bootloader again.
Did you try EnterBL.exe?

I cannot even get the bootloader to come up. Yes I know that I am pressing both buttons and hitting Reset.
And as for Warranty, Will they warranty a phone that has the updated bootloader on it? I know there is a utility to Re-flash your phone to stock, but well, i cant even get mine to do anything at this point. I dont want sprint to tell me that they will not warranty it because I have 'tampered' with it, or 'voided the warranty'.

I did not know there was such a tool.
A direct link would be great. That sound like what i need to get out of this mess.
Heres the deal, if you can't get it to go to bootloader, the carrier probably can't either....
I think the enter_BL only works if active sync works, but I could be wrong.
I've never seen a phone yet, or heard of one for that matter that boots as far as yours does yet doesn't go to a bootloader screen when reset properly. It does sound pretty messed up.
More than likely, if you go into the store and say "Hey this is messed up because I tried to update the bootloader on it" you'll get some pretty quizzical looks. They'll more than likely take your phone in the back, not do a thing with it, and then issue you a replacement (if they have one in stock) or mail you one as soon as possible.
It does sound like you may have created a brick, but luckily this one is replaceable. Consider it a "lesson learned" for the next one.
(My apologies if I offend any VZW store employees. I sure there is a rare breed of highly competent and capable technicians out there, but I have yet to meet one in my area.)
Boots Up?
Does your phone boot all the way up where you can explore your SD card on your phone? If you can PM me and I may have a solution for you if your bootloader allows you to flash by SD card.
Brick = New Phone

So, I walked into the store, and simply said. "I have insurance, what do I need to tell you in order to get the phone fixed." "what do you mean?" "Well i have my phone here, it is totally bricked, the bootloader is toast, and there is no radio or rom, and it will not connect to activesync. So, if i need to come back and tell you my phone is stolen i can."
"Um ok? bricked? bootloader?... Here, let me see it"
(Lucky for me my company had just purchased about a dozen phones from this store, and the techs were happy to work with me)
The tech took the phone in back, and he and another tech looked at it, tried to hard reset, tried the enter bootloader key press. tried to plug it in. Then they both scratched their heads with a completly dumbfounded look on their faces. One of them walked to the closet, grabbed a new phone and brought it to me and said. "Congrats, this is the most screwed up phone I have seen come in here. Here is a brand new one, We will have to send this one back to corporate."
So, now shiny new phone in hand.
I can say simply "Lesson Learned"
Thanks for all of your help guys.
I bought a used Sprint HTC EVO 3D in ebay, knowing it had a boot loop problem as described by the seller. Before buying, I researched to see if I can possibly fix the issue, and at that time I saw a few ways to do it. Unfortunately, now that I have the phone and tried those ways, my phone is still stuck in a boot loop.
This is what I've done so far:
1) Received the phone w/ HBOOT 1.5 (unlocked using HTC method).
2) I tried to flash TWRP 2.1.1, TWRP 1.0.3, ClockWork Mod 4.0.1.4, ClockWork Mod 5.8.0.1, and 4EXT RC3. The flashing seems to work as indicated by fastboot (it says OKAY after flashing).
3) I tried launching the recovery via fastboot command line and also tried launching recovery via power cycle while holding volume button down. Neither method allowed me to get to recovery. I would see the HTC logo, and then boot loop.
Other things I've tried:
1) Relock the phone.
2) Run the latest RUU (Sprint 2.17.651.5). I also tried the PG86IMG version. Flashing seems to succeed either way. But when I reboot, boot loop is still there. ROM doesn't boot.
Other things I've tried:
1) With the relocked phone, I did the HBOOT 1.4 downgrade and was successful downgrading.
2) I ran the RUU (Sprint 1.13.651.7) after the successful downgrade as described in the downgrade method so that I can try the Revolutionary S-OFF if my ROM boots.
3) The RUU succeeds, but the phone is still stuck in boot loop. ROM doesn't boot.
Again, the only thing that seems to work is fastboot commands. Adb commands don't work since the ROM doesn't even boot up.
I'm not sure if there's anything else I can do with the phone. I'm thinking now this may be a hardware issue. But before I send it in to HTC, I'd like to get opinions from the experts out there to see if there's anything else I can try.
Thanks!!!
none
Try to plug it into your computer, open a command prompt and type.
"adb reboot recovery"
Just like you see it, that should get you into recovery so you can flash a new rom onto it. And if you can swing it, by a new one next time lol
As stated above, adb commands won't work since you need a bootable ROM in the first place.. My EVO 3d reboots right after the first HTC logo pops up.. I've also tried launching recovery via fastboot command line and via power cycle and holding volume down button and selecting recovery. Both methods just reboots the phone and reboots over and over til I pull the battery out.
exact same problems, any help?
i have the exact same problems as Alpine Man.
tired everything, and i was hoping that if i downgraded to hboot 1.4, everything would be ok in terms of bootloops, but no =[
Can anyone shed light on this, software issue? hardware issue?
Anyone have a solution for this? or just send it to htc/
Have u tried installing new custom Rom?
I can't remember the creator's name but the file name is EVO 3d v2. I used the file to fix my bootloop. It's actual use is to relock ur bootloader back and it also install the ruu file. But it worked for me.
It might help u too. Maybe give a shot.
Sent from my AWESOME HTC EVO 3D. Click THANKS if u find my post is helpful.
I tried everything... And nothing fixed it. I finally sent it to HTC. They replaced the motherboard and all is well again.
i've read almost every guide availble regarding bootloop problems. my sister's evo 3d has no problems whatsoever. mine won't boot for anything!! have to go to work now but i will try it when i get home. if that doesn't work i'll probably have to send it in too.
alpineman - does the 1 year manufacturer warranty transfer over when you buy the phone used off ebay? i got my phone in great condition on ebay, with no mention of bootloop problems =[ . i'm not with sprint. i bought the phone hoping to flash it to metro. do i call htc instead of sprint? i'm not really sure how this warranty thing works.
any help is greatly appreciated thanks!
HTC did not ask for receipt, proof of ownership, or whether I had an active Sprint contract. They went by the serial number to determine warranty status. This is the 2nd HTC phone I had to do this with. Both times, no warranty problems whatsoever.
that's great! if all else fails, i'll give them a call on monday. thanks for the help!
good news! Come came back from HTC with new motherboard, boots up nicely now. I haven't done anything to it yet.
Bad new: the battery cover doesn't sit nice and flush anymore, its kinda crooked
It's sooo minor i almost don't wanna bother with HTC, but physically it was mint when I sent it in.
Need help
Hi can any one help, I am trying to gain S-Off on my Evo 3D, hboot 1.49.0018, I have Htc sync driver (Sync Un Installed)
adb devices command works fiine and gives me the serial number
but any other command with adb or fastboot it stucks on waiting for device.
Please Please Help me.
Regards,
i was trying to root a phone for someone and after odin completed it said it had failed.
the phone is a telus samsung t959d running froyo.
I followed the instructions from (I would post the url for the link but i am not allowed to.)cyanogenmod's wiki, after it failed I rebooted the phone and it got stuck on the screen in the attached pic. I have tried to boot back into download mode to no avail. From the screen it's stuck on I cannot get any tool to register the device as being present, adb, heimdall, zdiag, etc... I even tried fastboot out of desperation.Before I used odin I tried to get the phone to boot into the bootloader but it only ever went to either recovery or a normal boot and I tried every button press combo I could think of and found and nada.
Even running adb reboot bootloader just made the device boot normally. I think that if I could get it to boot to fastboot usb i could then try fastboot. I am new to rooting devices and have successfully rooted my HTC EVO3D and got s-off and simlock removed for any carrier. So I do know how to follow instructions properly, why flashing the recovery.bin failed I don't know and every fix I seem to find says BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE. if I could do that I wouldn't be having this problem lol. Anyway can someone please help me figure this out. Thanks. ANd if you need any further info please let me know. I don't want to have to give my friend my phone due to a software issue.
And YES I did pick PDA not anything else.

I kept reading other threads and sadly I din't pully the battery first before disconnecting the usb and repartition may have been checked as I see that it does the as default for my version. Also i turned off ODIN as I was hoping a reboot of my computer might help. I will keep trying to find an answer till someone gets back to me. this post may not even show up if I can't do a second post if no one has replied first.
Everyone was a nub at one time wasn't it FUN hahahahahaha sob cry

I tried a jig and that didn't work. There must be some way of getting the device to give up on completing a task i no longer can give it due to ODIN being shut off.
Why is it that the "how to root/unlocks" never have the "if x fails then do these steps etc..." Had the how to had "pull the battery before disconnecting USB and don't reset or shut off ODIN" I wouldn't be in this mess. I realize that it's user beware but a few important steps like that in case of a fail would go a long way to you guys not shaking your heads. Instead of "silly nub hahahahahaha". No offence but I get that a lot and try to remember that when I teach someone how to use a computer. I am new at phones not at everything.
Further Developments Please can someone help?
I was giving someone a new memory card and they had a Samsung SGH-I896 it has an EB575152VA battery and the one I have the T959D has an EB575152VU battery. I exchanged my battery for hers by accident somehow and when I plugged my phone in it didn't go to the phone triangle computer logo screen it booted to recovery and said it couldn't charge the battery and kept rebooting to recovery. I got my battery back and it booted back to the phone triangle computer logo again. Grrrr....
The other thing I saw while the recovery screen was an error message that said
Code:
E:/data/fota not accessible
(may not be 100% accurate I don't have the battery to check right now but can get it again if need be) anyway I now see that there may be some light at the end of the tunnel. i have the correct stock firmware for the device I tried flashing it while in recovery but the phone kept rebooting before anything got done. My question is how can I get the dang phone to stop asking for Odin and go to recovery so I can flash stock firmware and ROM back to it? As I cannot as far as I know give it what it wants because I reset Odin and nothing seems to see that the phone is connected to the computer. I am going to try the other battery on a full charge to see what that does.
I am new at all this and want to get it fixed. I cannot afford to send it off to a service center and besides that I want to do it myself as I want to become a developer and droid technician. I would gladly donate to anyone but am still trying to get Google to accept my pay-as-you-go credit card and I don't have PayPal either. Which is really frustrating when it comes to giving back. I posted a Q&A on how to without PayPal or CC but as of the last time I checked no one has gotten back to me about it.
The CyanogenMod guide is flat out WRONG. I've tried to change it, but anything I do is reverted in an instant. I also tried to use it to install the ROM only, ended up bricking my phone and it took me hours to unbrick. That's how I became acquainted with XDA.
So, to get this straight:
1. you're using the stock USB cable
2. you remove the battery
3. you hold volume down
4. you plug in the usb cable
5. after a few seconds, you release volume down
6. the screen does not display a yellow triangle with an android

That is correct. If you think that my idea below is a bad one or if I downloaded the wrong firmware package please let me know and /or you have a fix that will work? ty
I have though come up with an idea that may work. I am going to charge the "wrong" battery in erm the right phone lol and then use it to trick the device into booting into recovery instead of the cellphone triangle computer (CTC, for want of a better acronym) The I896 battery ends in a V not an ? (sorry can't rem don't have it on me) from the I896 model I think it is, plugging it into USB with the power off sends it to recovery with the "battery cannot be charged " message instead of the CTC screen.
I tried it but the charge in the battery was too low and rebooted. I am hoping that with a full charge (as long as I don't power on the phone first as this will make it go to CTC logo again.
I am hoping that I can install the update.zip that I made by first unzipping the T959UVJFD_firmware.tar I downloaded then unpacked and then repacked into an update.zip as I don't think that it will read the package as a tar file and if it's not called update.zip The recovery is still stock. If I get the phone working I am not going to try unlocking and rooting it again. I will just post two separate adverts one as a carrier locked device and the other one (higher of course to cover buying the unlock from Telus) as carrier unlocked and then I will buy the unlock code if the blah blah you get the drift. sorry for rambling on.
oh and I can't rem if I said this or not, In recovery it "E:/data/fota not accessible" I don't know what that means yet I have been busy with other things and haven't looked it up yet.
Since you can get into at least some version of recovery, your bootloader is intact and you should be able to unbrick it. You ought to be able to get into download mode using a download jig. You can get one on ebay for a few bucks or you can make one yourself. There's a guide floating around here somewhere that lets you make one from a microusb cable.

Hey all, this is my first android and I'm not the smartest sometimes. I tried restoring back to factory rom, and watched a bad how to vid. Basically i cleared data, system, cache and now realize i shouldn't have.
I'm not able to connect to the phone through usb. I have the drivers, but I can't see the phone.I can boot into cwm, and that is it. When i start it, it basically pulls up the LG screen, then a black screen.
I have a backup on cwm but get the md5 error.
Is it possible to put the sd card in my computer and download what i need straight to the card? Im also not sure what i need to download, if that does work.
Please let me know if there is any other info I can provide. Like i said im not the smartest sometimes, so dont be afraid to respond like im slow.

Can you install the Rom "The base .5". I assume so if you can get to cwm. I had this problem when flashing this Rom The first time. It did the same thing with the LG logo then go black. If that happens just reboot to cwm(May take awhile) and reflash "the base" again. That should allow it to boot the phone fully so you can at least use it till you can get all the way back to stock. I hope this helps. I have to crash now tho. I'll check back in the morning to see how it's going.

Are you trying to get back to factory settings or just get your phone running with the stock rom?
You should be able to just put the ROM on your sd card via computer if you have an SD card sleeve.
If you wiped your phone, it's my understanding that you're not supposed to when flashing the provided rom in development.
There's a posting in development, I believe, about restoring your phone to stock if you messed it up. LGNST or something.

The recovery won't generate a md5 sum (known bug). You have to generate it yourself. Connect your phone to adb and go to #4 in the FAQ here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946
Note that there is no way to tell of the backup is corrupt since you are generating a valid code regardless of integrity.

I tried re-installing .4 base which is what I had originally used. It let me choose the apps to instal, and made it to the "X" screen, but appeared to be stuck in a boot loop. I am going to try and download and install .5 via the sd card and see if that works. I'm not sure if LGNPST will work since I can't see the phone via usb. I will download it and give it a try though.
I also saw the guide in the general Optimus G forums for unbricking it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010624
Since i cant really connect via usb, ill probably have to use a different method. Im hoping the usb issue is due to the computer im using and the original computer i used to root and unlock will work.

The method in that link is for phones that don't have official firmware to use with lgnspt. If you san get into download mode (power off phone ,connect usb,hold volume down and up plus power ) you should be able to lgnpst back to stock.

I'm traveling for work and on a work computer, so the IRC channel is blocked. Of course. I'm heading home tomorrow so hopefully I can get everything back to normal when i get on my home computer. (not having a phone sucks)
Do you all think it would be worth putting the base .5 on my sd card and flashing that, or do you think that wouldnt work? .4 is on there now from my original flash, but that won't work. Just curious.
Well is your phone up and running?
I would think it wouldn't cause harm to try and flash .5 onto it, your phone shouldn't get bricked from it.
i agree with Murasakiii
should be fine to run .5

Welp, I think i earned the title of first bricked phone. It was able to get into recovery and download mode a couple days ago, but now it wont charge it seems. So i cant get it into any mode to do anything. Ive had it on the charger, wall and usb for a couple hours and nothing is happening. I wonder if i can take it back to my att store and try get a replacement. It is within my 14 day window, and there are "hardware" warranties. I have a feeling they will ask what happened and while i may not initially divulge everything, i sadly cant lie. And since its all my fault, i may chalk it up to learning.
i'd say the device started having issues with the USB. unable to see the device when plugged into the computer and the device won't take a charge. don't hear of too many authentic "bricking's" anymore...it can almost always be resurrected. but if the device won't take a charge your time to resolution is rather limited. good luck.

Before you leave to go to the store hook it up to a set up jumper cables and then attach the other end to your car battery. Then just tell them when you tried to charge it that it started smoking and wont turn on any more.
The only lie you have to tell them is it happened on the stock charger.
Im on the same boat. Tried going back to stock for a warranty return, and i ended up bricking the phone. Im able to get it to download mode and was able to run the lg tool but it keeps failing on me. And when it does complete it still wont load. Im going to try to make my self a powerd usb cable too see if i can get it to work. Have like 2 or 3 days to try to figure it out. Or elese im out 550 bucks.

Other option is just telling them you clicked install for the ota update it rebooted and never came back on. They just wipe them at the repair center anyway if they get them to boot up.

It took 12 hrs to get a clean download of the stock ROM (AT&T internet sucks in my area). The entire time the screen on my phone was on with the LG splash screen displayed. By the time I got the ROM ready for flash, the battery was dead. I was however able to plug in to the USB on my computer and get enough juice to get into download mode. Ran LGNPST (v2.2.3) and the stock ROM installed with no prob. You might try plugging it in then trying to get into download mode.
EDIT: now that I think about it. You need to have it plugged in to the USB before download mode anyway, so you won't be doing anything different than you already did.
I am assuming no one has bricked this device yet but I believe I just did I am rooted and stuck at a welcome screen if anybody has a solution please help! if not I'm going to the store Saturday and telling them a silly lie
Yeah I just did too :/ I installed chainfire 3D and now it stays at the Verizon loading screen. It doesn't shut off, only reboots to this screen. Safe mode doesn't work. I'm hoping there is a way to fastboot, factory restore, etc. via USB. But I think I'm SOL
I just went up to the Verizon store and play dumb I was able to get mine replaced

I figured as much. I talked to someone over the phone and they said to bring it in for a replacement. So I'm going in tomorrow for a new one. Lesson learned haha

Really hoping someone has came out with a unbrick/really BootLoop of Doom...
So I know a little about android and learn quick and there is very little information on the verizon ellipsis 7. Just so happens I bought one from a side shop and figured out Framaroot will easily root this device. Well you can guess what happen from there. All was going well until i rebooted with rom toolbox pro to change the font format for the second time. Now ever since it hasn't made it past the verizon screen and i cant take it back. Is there any possible way at all of somehow getting a custom recovery on this thing? Or even better a unbrick/bootloop? Oh and I CAN get it to go into stock recovery. Tried the Clear eMMC and Safe Mode but no luck.
Im in the same situation, I'm not able to boot into safe mode and clearing the emmc (formatting /data) doesn't seem to help either. I believe /data is just the user saved data, system data remains the same and is still corrupted. I had rooted, installed xposed framework and a few modules, rebooted fine the first time, but when I went to go change a setting within Ultimate Dynamic Navbar to make the stock navbar hide or not to hide, the script it used killed the tablet and now my wife's valentines day present is stuck in a bootloop. I'm going to try and take it back to verizon tomorrow after work, hopefully I can get yet another free tablet from big red... rvajuggalo said he was able to get it replaced right away even though it was rooted, anyone think I'll be fine taking it back as well? Or should I just wait til someone comes out with a fix for this issue?

If anyone has a clean copy of the system or firmware directories can you please share with me? --- Also if anyone knows how to get into the stock recovery without android debugging please explain? On a final note if anyone has a custom recovery that they could share that would be amazing as well. I'm in a bootloop and have been stuck in it for a couple weeks. Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Backed up my QMV7B before i Bricked it, now ive got two mtk paperweights pm me ,I'll link you to a backup on my drive. also bookending my desk is a lovely alcatel oone touch fierce 7024n which proudly boasts "ERROR 101 This phone has been flashed with unauthorized firmware and has been locked." niether of these will respond to any flash utility ive been able to conjure
Maybe you can use it. I need some hands on guidance flashing these. way too many tutos,way too many fllashtools, way too many drivers, usb cables, homemade serial cables, linux distros ,windows xp,7,8,8.1, hours, days,weeks,....... you get the picture.

If you're willing to open the back plate. (Back plate just pulls off. I'd suggest opening the sim/sd card slot and using that to pull it off. You need to disconnect the battery wait a few seconds, reconnect and then boot into recovery.
1. Black plate removal
2. Disconnect battery
3. Wait a few seconds
4. Reconnect battery
5. Press and hold Power and Down volume button until you see "Powered by Android"
6. Release the power button continue to hold down volume
7. Once in Factory recovery mode choose your best option
(I just factory reset it)
:good:
-love
A new development, possibly.

After making edits in system files I broke my QMV7B. Hangs on powered by android logo. In a panic, I wiped emmc from factory more (Chinese).. This reset ADB keys, and complicated matters further. After some digging I may have caught a break... I have figured out a way to stop and suspend the tablet in it's pre boot, or preloader, state. While suspended, it maintains COM3 connection with SPFT, and does not power cycle on and off. It also successfully installs it's onboard Preloader driver without error. Problem is that I need help attempting flash (for best chances)...
needing stock 4.4.4 fit the qmv7, or possibly advice on stock recover if possible.. I have successfully flased devices with Odin before, and have rooted almost every I have had.. I just want the best chance for success, and not to full brick the tab.. this could also be a solution for newer devices as well, but would like to for a good developer to speak with me before I post my findings. I will also post if I get the stock room compatible for flashing with SP Flash tool.. thanks guys..
Help
Please post specifics on how you achieved suspending in Preloader mode. That would help me alot.
I really need the un-rooted qmv7a stock rom, if any one could provide, that would be fan-freaking-tabulous lol...
no, for real i need the stock rom. I'd really appreciate it.
BTW
if you wanna get clean root on this device, i suggest this- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748169
(has nothing to do with my need for a clean start, that was my own carelessness...)

Hey man it's been 5years & I just wanna say thank you for posting this as I just managed to get into factory mode thanks to your comment xD. factory mode didn't help me a bit but maybe when I get to a PC I can use mtk tools to get a shell or something from there. Thanks again and if anybody has anything more than what's on here about this tablet please contact me as I feel like the last human on Earth with one ????
Yeh
I have one??
And Reading all topics about rooting this tablet...i'm afraid to do that?
