I did a factory reset..had clockwork installed had the backup file there..when I start up the phone I get all kinds of fcs. Nothing is in my recovery.
Did I brick my phone? I was planning on sending the damn phone back now I think I screwed myself.

Assuming your talking about a Fascinate, there is an Odin recovery pacakage and directions in the dev forum. Follow those and youll be back to stock in no time. I already had to earlier when I bricked mine toying with things. Its pretty easy

Bless your heart for answering but how am I gonna do that when I can't get into the phone?
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
Like I told you before. Follow the directions on the page. You use Odin. The directions are all there, you boot the phone into download mode and flash files one at a time. Just follow the directions and you will be fine. It takes five minutes.

Be sure to read everything FIRST. Also that guide is only for the verizon fascinate.
thnx i will read and attempt and let u know how it worked. do i need to uninstall one click lagfix? do i have to use rom manager donate or free?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Rom manager free works fine for me, as for the lag fix I am unsure, as I never used it. I would feel safer removing it before starting anything.
ok will do that and see how it works, thnx

Everyone I've ever talked to said its absolutely necessary to remove oclf before flashing voodoo so yes, do that first. Good luck!

Ok, so Im getting ready to root and was wanting if there was some sort of contingency plan or "If It All Goes Wrong" guide or things to try if something goes wrong? I realize of course asking the forums and such, but anything to do or NOT do in case of problems? Thank everyone

What not to do? Never flash using the phone button in odin. I learned that the hard way.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Get the software that your running on your phone right now....if all fails flash in odon using PDa not phone

I do everything via phone...seriously. Odin, kernals, roms everything is downloaded on here and transfered to a comp that has no net. So when my phone goes down...I'm flying blind. Do what I did years ago...read, read and when you think you got it...read others problems and solutions.
I performed the webtop mod but did not root device, as the webtop mod was pretty simple and I have no use for root.
With the new announcment that an update is coming the 29th I would like to revert back to stock so I can obtain this update.
Problem is there are really no clear instructions on doing this.
I am somewhat technically advanced (I rooted and put a custom rom on a g1, but used step by step guides to do so).
I have found many different instructions on rooting and the instructions for returning webtop to stock are layed out for the more advanced users.
Can anyone dumb it down a little and help the novice users like me revert to stock so we can get the update.
Im sure there are a lot of people out there who are in the same boat as myself.
Thanks!

Don't even know what that is.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Go to link I posted download sbf 1.2.6 then download rsd 5.0 if you've connected your phone to your computer and your computer has recgonized the phone then you don't need to worry about the drivers. Once you've installed rsd and downloaded 1.2.6 follow instructions they're super clear and step by step

Did I make a mistake getting the xoom 32gb wifi only??? There's no android market place app!!!

How do I get it... I did a factory reset and still no market app

Don't know how that's possible. Perhaps you can find an APK of the market through the web browser and it will install...
Yes it was a mistake.
Sent from my Full Android on Wingray using Tapatalk
I knew it was a mistake
But I would like to keep it... it also won't download... I bought it used... do you guys think it was rooted once with an unlock bootloader?... would this happen if someone try to get it back stock to resell??? I don't know...
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Is it the stock rom? Check under the about tablet. If it has root then You might need to download the g apps zip from here then install that through CWM. If not you can just search for the APK and get it online somewhere.

No mistake. It's a great tab. If used, read up and return it to stock condition. Or load a ROM from the dev section. You'll get the market back.
Thanks... that's what I was planning.. get a custom rom, I for sure know this will fix it... I'm confuse on how to set up my laptop with sdk.... I seen instructions that are pretty straight forward... but afraid I might mess up my laptop or the tablet
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I hardly think it's a mistake just because you have to do a little work. Just means you'll like it more later on.
I don't think the tab is rooted... there's no superuser... plus the recovery has these options only... reboot, update from USB, factory reset, clear cache... something like that... just confuse on my after factory reset in recovery I still don't have market... ill upload a picture of all the app that's preinstall after factory reset in recovery...

I think the first thing you should do is a factory reset. If that doesn't get your Market back then flash the stock images from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049485
After you get the stock images on there then you can think about rooting and custom ROMs if you want to but if stock does what you want then just stick there at the moment.
Thanks, I'm not familiar with sdk adb and all the command thing in second post in the link you provide burd... but give me 24hrs to figure this... I might need help later...
I am attempting to set up my computer... will post my update soon

Here is a guide I used when I wanted to flash the US images on my UK Xoom. The guide will also get you to root but you don't have to go that far if you don't want to.
Now, the commands will all be the same but the guide may be a bit out of date with image names and such as it's from February. Make sure you read everything and if you are planning to root/flash custom ROMs DO NOT relock your bootloader.
Edit: changed guide URL to newer one provided by okantomi

I don't think it's a mistake as long as you got a good deal on it.
$280.... got it off of Craigslist... they were old nice people that speak little english... he said he let his friend factory reset it... I bet my tablet was unlock and rooted once or he had someone with little knowledge to attempt the procedure to get it back stock so he can resell it... oh well its my problem now... I will fix it... I hope

So today I decided to fire up my old continuum and it wouldn't boot. Naturally I went into cwm and tried to restore my old backup. Looks like it didn't want to after it said it was complete I rebooted system and the phone sits on the Samsung splash screen and vibrates.
I pulled the battery and then went back into cwm and wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache. Tried to boot again and it did the same thing.
So I just want to get the phone back up and running. I don't plan on activating it. I just need it to boot to run some apps daily.
I was thinking of ways to do this and I think if I flash the stock 2.2 rom in recovery it might work. Or should I Odin back?
I don't really remember how to use Odin since it's been so long. Nor do I have any of the files on my pc.
Any suggestions on what I should do to get it back up?
Thanks.

Honestly I would just go back in and use Odin. I have deleted most of my old files. but they should all still be on the forum. Some of the links may be broken. I can always check for you and repost files if links are broken and I have still have them. (I can't remember if I wiped that hard drive or not, the laptop was misbehaving and I think I did a clean install). I will try and check tonight. You might want to try reinstalling the base file in CWM depending on which version you are running, I have had some backups go corrupt if I changed the wrong thing...

WOW...Surprised to see some activity on this forum!! It's been a long time! I still mess with the old Continuum once in a while just to try stuff out. I have the EG04 files still if you need them. Still have some of TB101's mods too.
Nah I'm just running 2.1 I found some files and got it back. I'm not using it as a phone just a money making machine. Thanks though. I moved on to the droid dna like 8 months ago.

Just stock, rooted. I actually use some of the TW features like multi Window. 4.3 should be rolling out to us soon, so I'm check it out and then decide if I want to go with a custom rom.
