Long story shot
I rooted my phone and was unhappy with the resualts.
I used odin with this file DI01package3.tar.tar that i found here.
It took my phone back to stock, but i am not reciving a 3g siginal and cant access the net. I can make calls though. Please help me to restore my phone to a state that i can use it.
Thank you in advance.
Factory reset might help. Should be in settings.

So here is what happened. I just started with this rooting stuff a few days ago. I read up on it and took the dive. I got Bionix Fusion installed and everything was going well. I made a nandroid backup of stock and of Fusion. So today, I was messing around a little bit too much I guess and I started getting the error for deleting the gtalk etc.. apps like the others did in that other post. I also couldn't download anything from the market. Well, I decided to flash back to stock and when I tried to do it didn't work. While restoring it gets stuck on this step: .psync_stream .. I tried to get back into fusion since I had it backed up as well - but I couldn't get into it. So I have been spending all day reading the forums and trying everything that I can to get it to boot up again, but its just not working. I have installed ODIN and I have gone through the process. It told me that it passed and the download bar was complete. The Phone rebooted, went to vibrant, made the annoying T-Mobile sound but then didn't get passed the Galaxy S screen. It just goes to a black screen with the lights on the touch keys lit up. I really have tried just finding the answer on the forums, but I am not getting very far - If anyone could please help me or give me any insights, I would really appreciate it. I know I probably have gotten in too deep, but honestly once I started flashing roms and stuff it got kind of addicting. I am pretty new at all of this stuff, but I really need to get my phone back working again. Thanks in advance to whoever can help me.
Found something that worked Flashed Eugenes unbrickable with ODIN, then flashed back to stock and I am up and running. I guess I should have looked further before posting.
PS... After using ODIN, when it is getting ready to reboot it says in red letters: Data Wipe Failed. Not sure if that helps.
I decided to take my device back to stock this weekend. For whatever reason, I am unable to wipe my data after disabling voodoo. After several hours of looking around and trying everything I've found and getting in and out of several FC loops, I'm at wits end. I tried the sticky on removing voodoo, I tried swapping to a different kernel after disabling voodoo, restoring the stock kernel with odin(again, after disabling voodoo), everything I can find. Please, if anyone has any suggestions or help to offer me, I would definitely appreciate it. Granted, this isn't a huge issue, but losing functionality like this really bothers me.
EDIT:Of course, as soon as I post this, I think of the one thing I didn't try. Reflashing stock recovery and wiping data from there. This is fixed, so if a mod could delete this post, that would be great
Hello,
Please Help!! My stock (firmware but rooted) TMO Tab started locking up and then progressed into constant reboots, lockups and semi hard resets (I lose all screens and they are back to stock, email accounts are gone in stock client, but apps are still there and a lot of other information is still there like wifi, bluetooth setting/devices etc.) Also, sometimes, the device hangs on the Samsung logo on boot up and I have to power down holding the button for 10 seconds and then turn back on..
It is almost like I got a virus. I did a hard reset the other night, went to bed with about 80% battery and it was completely dead in the morning. Last night went to bed with 91% and it was dead in the AM. Something is wrong and draining my battery.
Tmo is not standing behind their product because I bought it without a contract and said Samsung would either refund me or send me a new one(which I knew it couldn't be right), and it wasn't. They said send it in for 10-14 days and they will send me a working model.
So given all the problems I am having which seem to be software related, which software should I install? Something I won't have problems with or will still allow me to accept future Tmo updates if needed or wanted.
Also I am upset over the email limit(one month unlike the VZ version etc) on the stock email client so a Euro version would be fine if it had that feature and I also am not using the Tmo network so a disabled 3G network for data is not a problem.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Best,
BC
Please help me...
Update: My Tab was stuck on the Samsung logo for the longest time this morning(like 3 hours). I did the volume up/power button and wiped but still was stuck. It finally booted up but I am sure it is going to lock up and I will have to go through the same thing hoping to get it to boot up.
What could've caused it? What should I do while i have it on? Should I update to the Euro software and if so, which one? There are so many choices and not sure which one to do. Also, would I be able to go back to the stock tmobile s/w if I can return it for a replacement?
One thing that i noticed in the apps is a folder called error 1.0.0 but I cannot uninstall it. Is this normal and does anyone else have it? The other thing is that I still have the same memory available as when I had all my apps, email etc in it. Like it didn't really erase everything.
Please help and point me in the right direction. I have been scouring the net for 4 hours now and I don't know which way to go.
Thank you,
BC
Perhaps you poked around in the files system and accidently removed something? I would go to the Roto Stock firmware package thread, and flash that to repair a corrupt file system. Only a guess on my part, but it won't do any harm.
Well I suppose but I don't recall messing around with anything. I was hoping that while I had to change or repair my software, I should put the best on that there is to offer.
What software do you use or recommend?
Thanks for the reply! This is driving me crazy! I have had to turn off and back on at least 15 times today trying to get it to work amd habe wiped like 5 times.
Do you think I should just try and get a replacement from tmobile?
Thanks,
Brian
Woah, slow down partner. Make a Titanium Backup to the external sd card then remove it. Flash Rotohammers stock T Mobile firmware. Reroot with SuperOneCLick. Reinsert the external SD and reinstate your apps with Titanium. If things are still wonky after that then it's probably a hardware problem.
EDIT: I'd flash using Odin 1.7. It's just easier than Heimdall to me. Personal preference I suppose.

I did the backup and reinstalled after one of the wipes but it keeps locking up and not booting up. I haven't had it on 1 time successfully yet today and it past 10PM...
The main reason I would like a different firmware is because I want the full functionality of the email client like in some of the other tabs and android devices.
Tmobile and i don't know who else (I read ATT) crippled the email and it doesn't have the option to have all email on the device which is great for short trips without the laptop.
What about some of Roto's other firmwares? Like i said previously, I am not using Tmobiles data or service so it doesn't matter. I also read that the browser and overall was really smooth.
Is it ok to root with z4root? I have the app on my sd card and that is how i've done it before.
Thanks for your suggestions and i appreciate all feedback. I have to do something because this device has become a paperweight.
Thank you,
BC

hey dude you sound nervous as hell man, relax. as long as you can get your phone in to download mode. you will be ok. flash rotos tmobile stock firmware. if it works hooray! if not flash rotos jme 4
Still out of commission
I am not nervous, just annoyed as hell.
I flashed the stock tmobile firmware, booted it up and it crashed after about 10 minutes and I am back stuck on the samsung logo. I haven't been able to get it to boot up for about 5-6 days. I have wiped many times and no dice.
Should I wipe cache partition? Try the JME software?
Thanks for your help!

please help cant get a new phon for another year and this one I almost want to throw in the garbage. Every couple of weeks i get the error saying cant establish a reliable connection for the google play store. Normally I can clear the cache and what not and clear the acount relog in and its fixed. This time nothing I could do that people suggested would help and the last option I had was to restore the phoone. So i restored the phone on the stock firmware for 4.2.2. Got the phone booted up and now my wifi is "turning on" and is stuck there. I've tried a few suggestions of reflashing stock firmware again, clearing ram, rooting the phone. and so far nothing. Please help im getting extremely frustrated and dont no what to do.

If you have flashed the nb1 tar file and you still have problems I'm afraid it's a hardware problem.

well none of those problems were there before i flashed stock firmware, which makes me wonder if its cuz im not on a stock kernel? Im not sure what you mean by nb1 file though
i flashed cyanogenmod and now its working fine
Hey everyone, let me start off that I love XDA and I have been using this site for years! So let me give you a little history. I am still on 4.4.4. Recently I finally updated it to 5.0 and retained root, sweet! I also had a custom lollipop recovery that allowed me to go back to 4.4.x. However, I needed the wireless tether function and I could not find a way to get it unlocked without flashing some mod (which would brick my phone) so I used ODIN to flash back to a rootable tar image that I have always used. It was 4.4.2 on NI2 Kernal. Now normally, no matter how many times I ODIN'ed it, flashed it, restore a backup, everything would be up and running in no time. However, lately my phone has not been able to connect to the network completely for some reason. I can make/receive calls and texts. Anything using data though would not work. I called Verizon to see if they could reset something from the back end and they saw me and connected and running. Needless to say, their help ended almost immediately. I am currently running Ricks ROM v19.2 G900VVRU1ANI2 and was only able to connect to data one time a couple of days ago. I had to restart though and when it booted back up, it lost the data again. It does show that I am connected to 4G LTE, strong signal. I have tried the stock ROM 4.4.2, fresh install of Ricks ROM, restore my backup of Ricks Rom (maybe two weeks old), tried Eclipse ROM, nothing seems to be working. I've never submitted anything on here asking for help so this is a first for me cause normally I can fix any problems I create, however, I cannot figure this out for the life of me. Does anyone have any suggestions that I can try? Thanks in advance!
