I usually dont start new posts, i try to post in the OP's thread and search but beings Fascinate is new their isnt much help or info to search for
i flashed CWR Using ODIN 2 days ago and ever since i dont have WIFI. when i turn it on it says scanning and then comes up with a message saying Unable to Scan For WIFI and then it Turns Wifi Off before i can even attempt to manually enter my SSID and WEP key
i know in the Early days back on the G1 you would always have to run Fix_permissions which i have tried and sometimes manually run command prompt to get stuff like this back working again but im not sure what to do
Update still dont have wifi, but wifi tether works
I know this is an older thread, but I recently had this issue randomly happen to me and found an answer in another xda forum and figured I'd share what I found:

Just thought i'd say thank you for this post. Suddenly my wifi stopped working and was telling me it was unable to scan, and I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on because I hadn't flashed anything recently... Then I just happened to come across this post. I deleted that file in /data/wifi and rebooted, and suddenly it worked again. You just saved me a lot of time.. my next step was to re-flash the dl09 radio because I had tried various other possible solutions with not luck, and had ran out of ideas. Then I came here not even looking for a solution, just looking for anything new that might've popped up, and saw this.
So, in summary of this unnecessarily long post...
thanks, and it worked.

Hi.
I've just bought an Xperia X10i, which was a T-Mobile handset and had firmware version R1FA014. I took to the net as soon as I got it home with the aim of debranding it, and followed this guide - forums.se-nse.net/topic/49076-sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-debranding-tutorial/? to step 5.
So I ran the "repair" option which went fine, but when that had completed and I tried steps 6 to 13, the first problem I encountered was the files in my db folder were totally different to the screen shot in the guide. I put them in size order anyway and renamed the two files and copied and replaced them, and tried running the update again, but it came up with an error about my internet connection (even though it was fine), so wouldn't run again.
Having checked the phone I noticed it had updated to firmware version R2BA023, so thought the debranding had been successful, until I was laid in bed setting the alarm to discover I still had T-Mobile tones and a T-Mobile homepage.
So after googling tonight, I've discovered "rooting", if someone could please explain what that actually is it would be much appreciated, as googling only leads me to guides on how to do it, but not what it actually is, and I have a couple of questions I hope someone can answer for me about the guide in this thread...
1. Are the files in the first post all I require or are there newer ones I should download?
2. I have downloaded SEUS, but I deleted the db folder for SEPCC whilst attempting to get the the steps in the first guide to work, should I uninstall and reinstall SEPPC before attempting the steps in this guide?
3. Is the "market fix" actually required after following this guide?
4. Some people have mentioned they have had issues trying the steps in this guide, is that mainly due to user error or is there a chance that it doesn't always work the first time?
I apologise for the long post, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Before I begin, I'd like to say that I know we have posted this everywhere.
The reason of this thread is because there are no real clear instructions on how to un-root, and there is no actual thread, hence the reason we get this question asked so much; something I want to eliminate.
How to UNROOT your Mytouch 3G Slide
[Optional] If you are sending back your phone to Tmobile for replacement, make sure you flash the newest radio out as of now. (this at the moment is 7.09) [/Optional]
1) You will need to download "ESPRIMG(2).zip" from this thread (This is all you need, you dont need anything else)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713507
2) Rename "ESPRIMG(2).zip" to: ESPRIMG.zip
3) Place the new renamed file ESPRIMG.zip in the root of you SD card (this means in no folder)
4) Power off your phone any way you like
5) Turn your phone on while HOLDING: VOLUME DOWN and POWER.
This will get you to a screen where you will need to wait for some loading. Let it load.
6) Once above step has finished, phone will give you some options. Hit VOLUME UP to confirm flash
7) It will take some time, and when it's done, you will be unrooted with the stock Espresso.
Credits go to: eugene373, xda-fourms, CaliBoyPhillip, and some guy I cant remember
reserved for future way to unroot
I posted the ESRIMG.zip in the q&a section a few days ago, nice catch on the radio. I totally forgot about that for warranty reasons. This thread should hit the New Bible!

ask that in the Question and Answer forum of mytouch 3g slide.. im not too sure of what you're saying, and you'll get more answers there.
Hey Xologist,
Thanks for this post but I have a few things you might want to add on.
Your link to eugene373's ESPRIMG(2).zip works fine, but wouldn't auto update after a week. So instead of waiting to be updated I re-rooted and then un-rooted to 1.27.531.1 using the ESPRIMG that wegarner provided. After that I was able to do the manual OTA update without root.
wesgarner (1.27.531.1)
http://db.androidspin.com/androidspin_filedownload.asp?release=280&type=1
So after someone unroots they can just manually update(root not needed) to the current OTA via ChiefzReloaded's provided files.
-7.09.35.10 radio -1.35.531.1 build

https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B7...Y2Q0ZGUxZDJjMGIz&sort=name&layout=list&num=50
Same file with a mirror.However, the google one ended up working for me.
I am assuming this will result in a factory wipe/reset as well, correct? I'm considering switching back to stock from Cyanogen 6.1.1 since it's unable to send or receive MMS messages for me but I'm afraid I may lose the pending messages if I revert back and won't be able to recover or view them.

Yeah it'll be a factory reset but you should still the messages as long as the phone hasn't actually grabbed them from the companies server. As for the actual issue, have you verified APN settings? I was having issues with MMS and data when I first flashed CM 7 and ended up switching to T-Mobiles alternate server to fix.

Thank you for confirming that this would wipe the device. I was also not aware that the MMS messages would still be retrievable if they have not yet been downloaded to the device (good to know!).
I see you have found my post on these forums in regards to my issue, so I will not get into the specifics in this topic, but yes, I have confirmed the APN settings several times now.
I've tried this, but I keep getting this error... "Main Version is older"
I need to unroot because I need to send my phone in for warranty service... my power button stopped working... makes it realy difficult to get into recovery mode or anything (impossible) but I can get into the boot loader
What can I do to remedy this?
Heck, if you could tell me how to corrupt the system folders I would do that so they couldn't tell it was rooted at all...
I've tried doing it this way and I extracted the file to the root of my SD card. But when I followed the steps, all it did was take me through like I was doing a reset of my phone. Didn't remove the actual ROM. Am I not supposed to extract it? What can I do to remove this ROM because I really don't like it on my phone.
you do not extract the zip file. you just put the ESPRIMG.zip file into your root folder. when you boot into recovery mode, the phone should automatically start searching for it (you might want to give it a little time to let everything load up). it will load (this will take a while) then press volume up to update when prompted. thanks to the OP for putting this up. you saved my butt, i have to return my phone for warranty replacement because the touchscreen and all the buttons stopped working.
Hey xologist, I'm sorry but I'm still very new to rooting. I've had some issues with the touchscreen and need to send my phone in for the warranty so I need to unroot it. What do you mean by flashing the newest radio? Where do I get it and how do I flash it?

you probably placed a different sim card in your phone because this phone is normally locked to T-Mobile. if you're on T-Mobile and want to use a different sim card, give them a call and they will get you an unlock code for free. if you thought you bought the phone unlocked (not locked to a carrier, T-Mobile), then it's not, return it to the seller or something.
I tried the esprimg.zip on the root of the sd card but every time it tries to apply it it says it is the wrong image and aborts. Any ideas?
no matter what i do i cant get it to install anything, i install and apply the esprimg.zip file, re boot, and still loads CM i may have forgot how to do all this fancey root stuff, i have Cm 7.1, can i pleeeease get a dummy version to unroot
Hi all, in a pickle here. I will be attempting to remove root and am on CM 7.1 stable. My obstacle is my volume buttons don't work. I'm removing root for warranty/return reasons, is there any way to go back to stock other than from the bootloader(sp?)? Thanks, all!

I tried to root my 3G XOOM (MZ606) last night and eventually I did brick it but I am not sure. I did definitely dl the wrong img file (as I didnt read here before Anyway everything of the procedure went fine till I had to type the commands (like adb remount) after reboot. Actually the XOOM does not seem to connect to my wireless hotspot anymore (is that due to a missing key?) and it remains in the boot up screen (just the MOTO logo)
Is there any solution to get the XOOM reconnected may be? Can anyone push me into the right direction? Do I really need those certain cable (someon mentione in any thread here)?

thanx a lot for your help
Michael
if you have ANY type of screen coming up, its not bricked. Depending on your situation, you just need someone whos good with ADB/Fastboot to get things back to where they need to be.

go into recovery and wipe Everything/ factory reset, wipe cache, and go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache. then flash any rom available here in the DEV section.
hmmm I found out how to do that
>go into recovery and wipe Everything/ factory reset, wipe cache
but what means
>and go into advanced
? There is no advanced option at the recovery menu. So may be thats an otion once I choose 'reboot system now'?
And just for my understanding, that
>then flash any rom available here in the DEV section
is not necessary just may be in my interest, right?
--
Thanx anyway, great help
Michael
It might help us if you tell us what model your Xoom is...3g/wifi - us/uk - all the specifics.
Hopefully you knew this before you installed the wrong image.
Then we can help you get back to where you need to be.
And 'flashing any ROM here in the development section' is what got you here in the first place so I wouldnt do that.
Hola,
well I will definitely be more careful now. Actually I did read about those issue with the Wifi only device before but... So what specifications I could deliver?
So far I saw on the screen also printed on its backside its an MZ606 purchased from MOTOROLA china directly. I possibly wouldnt have tried to lunlock and root if those gadget could at least connect to the google market... sorry for complaining but the cn.MOTOROLA market does have very few and mainly chinese apps only. Further on before the procedure I stuck in now the OS has been Android 3.1
Hope those background information allows some more conclusions but
right now I am still trying to figure what kenfly ment by mentioning
>go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache
If I understand for example those guys http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560207 right (hopefully it is allowed to put that link here) it seems to be a procedure before flashing a new ROM. What I am asking myself is do I right now not have a working one anymore? May be I misunderstood in the past but so far I thought the sequence is unlock> root> custom rom... and so far I think I am not successfully rooted yet so I wouldnt be supposed to flash a new ROM. So I think what I need to do now is to get my device successfully rooted before wiping the 'dalvik cache', am I wrong?

Did you flash the ClockworkMod recovery before rooting [after unlocking], and if so, which version?
If you don't have that installed, you wouldn't see the advanced option in the recovery menu.
You have a wifi model and I think the wifi hardware is all the same so you could flash the US Xoom system image and that should solve your access and updates problem, But since it's a HongKong Xoom, there may be some differences, so try it out but use caution.
hey guys looks as I dont get the message. I am still stuck at the recovery screen. I did
>go into recovery and wipe Everything/ factory reset, wipe cache
but whats next? Rebooting does not change anything, still the same logo screen only. So am I supposed to apply a proper image by 'apply update...'?
--
Cheers
You say you have a 3G Xoom - but the MZ606 is WiFi only.
Do you remember what image you applied to mess things up in the first place?
sure, the name is rootboot.img
It should be the one from 3*w.addictivetips.com, '/?attachment_id=45936'. I separated the link as I dont wanna mislead anyone here but I hope its still possible to follow up
--
Thanx for your help
-sorry for the 3G thing, no idea why I did type that. It definitely is a WiFi only
-and i idd not do any clockworld thing before or what ever. It has been just an ordinary MZ606 automatically updated to the 3.1 android version, but unlocked. For unlocking I used the android.sdk and typed the command to do so, thats everything I did before getting stucked with those rooting procedure
Hey guys dont leave me alone. I may tend to do another stupid thing ... well I am capable to find former posts about how to recover so on but as U asked some more details it seems to be depending on which exact device I have and what exactly I did before. So I hope U could still guide me to the harbor
hey.ur on 3.1 right?
I assume you have knowoedge on fasboot.
Find the appropriate boot.img for ur device then flash it via fasboot.
Maybe u flash the wrong boot.img

well the problem (after data/factory reset and wiping cache) is the application (android.sdk) still cant find the device... I assume thats due to device still stuck at the M logo and I cant tpe in the WiFi password for example.
So how could I flash another ROM to the device without having the OS working on it properly?

Do you have the proper drivers installed? Make sure you get them from Motorola.
Your device should be seen if ADB and Fastboot are set up correctly.
Once you can see the device I would use fastboot to reinstall the proper image (again from Motorola - they will have the correct Image for your Chinese Xoom)
yes I do have the proper drivers from M and they worked perfectly before once I flashed the wrong image. May be my problem is too simple for U guys or as I am not capable to deliver appropriate information to get some help.
For my understanding it is obvious why my pc can't get the device as the device obciously cant get an wireless IP without knowing the WPA2 key and I cant type in the wireless key as the OS (on that device) does not fully start up. Which wireless device works without any basic configuration? So does mine I guess even though I am not expert... but even I deactivated any security measures on my router it still the device didn't connect (check only at the routers active device list)
Once again my question: How could I flash another ROM to the device without having the OS working on it properly? I think the OS is (part of) those wrong IMG i did flash before, so I assume I will never get it working

Can u go to fastboot?
When the xoom bootup press vol down immediately.it says starting fastboot etc.
If your pc can detect it then flash the correct images to ur xoom.

I keep he decvice at the recovery menu for 2 days now but yes I can "go to fastboot" too but again that doesnt change anything regarding connecting my device to the wireless router. Why none of U guys replies on those obvious fact? The XOOM like all other devices I know will not connect to any wireless hotspot without any confirmation (may be a password) on its UI and as I cant get into the UI...
May be its the wrong directory for thes question. Is it possible to shove to Q&A?

No no.why would you connect it on wireless router in the first place.connect it on ur pc! So if the pc detected it.then flash thru adb.
oh thanx for that hint. I thought it works only connected via wifi. Well now the SDK states a number instead of the device name or MZ606. I hope its not my HTC Desire but I did deactivate the wireless on there.
So if it really is the MZ606 (I can take the battery off the HTC just to make sure should I go back to the original image first, then install clockworld, then root?

thanx in advance
Sdk only detects devices connected to pc.so your phone has nothing to do with it.did u already download the firmware for ur xoom?the link i post awhile ago download the rom there.do you know how to flash it thru fastboot?.if yes then i think u can revive ur xoom.

[email protected], you seem to be lacking some very basic understanding of how all of this works on the Xoom. No wonder you felt frustrated.never in a million years would I guess you would try to flash an update or recover your Xoom via a wireless connection.
That said, hopefully you are now on the right track. I wish you good luck.
I cannot for the life of me get this phone rooted or a recovery installed. Odin always fails and ADB doesn't recognize the device. Does anyone have any info on rooting this device? I really just want to at least be able to update this thing to nougat.
Nobody knows much about this device since it's not that popular. Some team named TWRP builder built a twrp for the SM-S727VL but it cannot be flashed even when converting to .tar.md5 or .tar.
Also I believe the bootloader on this phone is locked and CROM service does not function (if I am correct) on this device. CROM service will show it being unlocked but it seems to be lying to you.

Well that figures, im willing to use my device to work at it if anyone knows where to start.
I have 3 of these... not a noob but not an expert...say Pre-elite lol. I'm wanting to learn how to go further than use everybody else's solutions to root my phone's if somebody can give me some advice as to where to start as in I know how to root put it that way I was one of the people back in the day with the Evo when it was actually difficult no worries most of them were fine but these files we keep flashing these ROMs these kernels these firmwares where does one start when a phone like this 727 VL is obscure supposedly and nobody is doing anything to be able to root them I have everything that I need I'm sure and if I don't get it. It's somebody point me to a person or in the right direction to get started on what I need to due to learn how to write for I mean what where's the first step on these I've always just use everybody else's files. If that even makes any sense to anybody and anybody can give me a hand or show me the right way I'd be willing to do the work from there on I just need somebody to stick up a finger and say go there.... I mean if we have a twrp written, and we have OEM unlock, then why can't one of us do this I've been around long enough I've read long enough I've never once posted in these forms but I've read them daily... I know I got the skills I just need to know which ones to use. Odin fails like he said, fastboot for some reason still won't recognize, I actually made it one step with one of mine but it has to be a little incorrect because the only thing noticeable is it pops up with vo LTE at the top instead of just regular LTE like this one I'm on now. I was able to flash it with Odin believe it or not with what seems to be possibly just stock S727VLUDU2AQG1_ENG_boot_boxwares.tar
BUT the point is I was able to flash it with Odin and also it did change something because my phone now says there's been unauthorized changes and it wants me to restart it all the time so it can correct itself however it does not, it stays whatever it is, yes I know this is pretty vague however I got to the point where I just started trying anything on one of these phones to see if I could get any kind of anything to work and it did.. kind of.
I will say the USB drivers that's you find every where now do not work you have to go back to looks like version 1.5.5 1.0 SAMSUNG-USB-Driver-for-Mobile-Phones-15510.
With these drivers fast boots if I remember correctly will recognize it when you do fastboot devices however it still hangs on waiting on device. I'm sure I got more information my brains just a little foggy at the moment it is like 3 in the morning and I hope I didn't break any rules posting.
I did try flashing from SD card with no success yet nothing at all just error after error. I have tried twrp however it's supposed to be for this 727 VL I'm sure it's the same one everybody's got because it's only in one place that I've found but it comes up twrp-3.2.1-j7popqltefnvzw-201 and it will not flash.
I realize I have been pretty obscure however there's no reason why if all 5 of us with this VL stick together we can't get it rooted because I'm not going to give up LOL
Keep up the good work

I have a twrp that I managed to find on the internet but i have heard that it was for an older version of the phone. meaning it has to be updated somehow. I do know that the phone had a security patch update on June 1, 2018. I am currently trying to figure out if how to update the twrp or something, but I think I might need a little assistance. Because I am no expert ROM developer or anything of the sort but I am trying to learn, so I can eventually build a custom ROM for this phone.

Is there a way to tell if the bootloader is locked? (Sorry if I am asking noobish questions. I am just trying to learn.)
You can tell the Bootloader is locked because you get “Secure Check Failed” if you try to flash anything that has been modified. For example; The TWRP recovery file. We need root to bypass the Bootloader.
Allow
allow what
I feel like you're telling me to do something that's way over my head cuz I do not understand what do you mean by allow
I have read write access to root files now !!
I can now access all files on my 2nd of 3 J7s. I am attaching pics. When I try to duplicate and copy on my other J7 ,the factory ones, I get check file permissions access denied. However I've passed it on this one particularly. It also now gives me a security notice on the lock screen of unauthorised actions have been detected please restart phone to correct them. However even when you restart the phone it stays so it isnt temporary. I have actually even going to factory reset to see believe it or not it stays. So the next step would be one in which I need some input to know which files I need to modify to be able to install BusyBox Superuser and from their custom recovery excetra and we're in I believe correct me if I'm wrong.
Can't post pics yet so someone get at me here and I will send them to you to post. Or on my FB at Mighty.Whity.Titan
You can send them to me if you like.

Can you please share the method that you used to gain read/write access? If you indeed have temp access, I can make it permanent also what firmware build are you on?
Absolutely
I'm not home right now but I'm headed there I'll be there in a couple hours I can if somebody wants to give you their email or email me because I can't post links or anyting I have the file that I used the wrong and I have the driver for Samsung for Odin that I used which I think I've mentioned in my original or previous post and by the way it is not temporary. This is permanent. I did a factory reset and it stays. I just need to know which permissions which file to go to to get my Superuser installed because it's still will not let me install that. But email me or tell me how to send it on here or something that way I can let you guys know or give you guys what I got. I'll tell you this I did not flash it with a v l ROM. I flashed it using a Verizon ROM the only thing that didn't work was my wife I which I think I originally and said back when I made my first comment on this thread I haven't done anything else I set my phone down and it was done clear back there I just didn't realize it. But it is not a VL ROM it's a Verizon ROM a v not a straight talk and my wife I would not which turned out to be something unrelated. I'm in no way trying to keep this from anybody because I know just how much we all want these damn things. But I would sure love to finish the job that I started but I do not mind handing over what I've got.
