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.

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...

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Now, the commands will all be the same but the guide may be a bit out of date with image names and such as it's from February.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 disagree. It took an act of Congress to get root and install a new ROM just 8 months ago. ****'s cake now.
Well I went through a little time being nervous too but I read and read and just did it. Never asked 1 question. Still rarely do. I'm just saying if this is how the journey is starting it's gonna be long.

Doesn't matter for achieving root. That doesn't come into play until your flashing recovery/ROM/kernel.

Well it's mainly because most of the root procedures include flashing a new recovery/ROM. The idea of rooting in itself isn't device specific. It's simply adding the su binaries to the ROM.
I don't know what Hboot is and i don't know if i have 32a or 32b. I have like 250 mb of memory I think, I read somewhere that 32b has 192? I dunno.
My baseband is 62.50SJ.20.17u_2.22.28.25
Kernel 2.6.32.9-g93b855e
build number 3.56.531.1.cl300801 release keys
How do I know if i have the correct USB drivers installed?:
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode.
I know I can mount my sd card when I use usb, but does that mean the usb drivers are installed?
Do u have sdk installed on your PC?
Sent from my Dream/Sapphire using XDA Premium App
I have SDK installed on my pc, but I don't know how to use it.
Well I used that oneclick root and it worked. niiice, although when I go to emulator and type SU nothing happens, but when the program did the root test, it said it was rooted. so I don'tk now
I am not sure on even how to get into any mode after phone is shut off. I want to try installing some roms, but obviously I need radio and spl to install. I don't know how to do that with the MT3G
When u open terminal u get
$
When u type su u should get a new line with

I just traded some one an HD7 for this MyTouch 4G.... Yayyy, back to Android ! Well, they already have it rooted and everything, but I like to start from scratch when I am modding my phones. I am coming from a Cliq so I'm not familiar with HTC. How should I go about unrooting the phone? And where should I start in the forum while trying to get familiar with modding this phone?
If it's already rooted, why unroot it? I would just make sure the latest recovery is installed, wipe it, and flash whatever ROM you want.
I'd you are looking to mod it... then you want to keep it rooted.
Its a good thing. You can even run the stock rom and make backups of all your apps and settings.
Root is good!

+1....As Rockstarar said, the pd15img makes you go back to being unrooted. The pd15img is the stock OS image and the thread will on that will explain how to flash it.
After that I'd say check out the "Guide to permaroot" thread, that will explain the process in getting rooted permanently. Next you should check out the thread for clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.6, thats a version that enables us to flash both 2.2 and 2.3 base roms. Alot of ppl miss that thread and end up using the wrong recovery to flash roms and as a result they get boot loops.
After that you're good to go! Got alot of options in the development section to choose from, so pick ur poison
I remember when I jus started this thing I had no clue where to start so that should give you a nice guideline on how to get going
Thanks!! I can't wait to get started =P.
Good luck!
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.
I am not new to development or flashing Roms. However all my experience has been with the galaxy s lineup.
My friend has a mytouch 4g and I want to root his phone and install a custom rom for him.
I was wondering what you guys use to root, and also what you use to flash. Can I just install cwm from clockwork and install them that way? Or do I need something else?
Thanks!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
The best thing to do is root using the method from the Unlockr. Which i have in my signature "how to root with root.sh". Its the same method. That should work for you. If it doesn't you might want to check the "post your eMMC serial number" thread in the general section. There is alot of valuable information in that thread regarding phones do not root using root.sh.
If you just want to force root the phone regardless of it being a good or bad eMMC you can use the ./gfree method.
as far as how to flash ROMs, you can just download Clockwork ROM Manager and flash the Clockwork Recovery image, do a back up, wipe, then flash the ROM.
Thanks. So clockwork works without any modifications. On the vibrant it worked just by flashing the recovery. But with The gs4g Krylon360 had to work long and hard to come up with a recovery and it involves replacing a system/ file. Lol
Anyways. Thanks for the advice. I'm not familiar with that way of rooting but I will look it up.

Yea, the MyTouch 4G doesn't have any goofy work arounds once you get s/off.
The MyTouch4G has a security protocol that will prevent us from perma-rooting our phones. You need to manually turn the security protocol off. That is why you see us asking newbs if their "s" is on or off (s-on/s-off). i have links for both in my signature.
You're quick to reply!
Yea I've heard about that with the g2. Thanks for the help. I can't see your signature in the app. Ill check it out when i get home.

Hi, I found this accidentally. I'm on 2.3.4 stock rooted with locked bootloader.
1. You must have root.
2. Install Rom Manager from Market
3. Open Rom Manager and flash ClockworkMod Recovery
4. Turn off you phone and connect to the wall outlet charger and its going to bypass bootloader and open recovery
That's all I found it by accident
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
This isn't news, clockworkmod is on most people's phones here, from a few different sources. Did you know you can install themes, radios, fonts, bootanimations, all kinds of things from recovery? Check out the development forum.
Yes but you don't need to unlock the bootloader to install rom's.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Incorrect.
If you try flashing a ROM right now you will brick your phone. We could get into a bootstrap recovery before the bootloader was unlocked, but if you installed a different system the phone would catch that upon next boot and won't start up. I believe it's at least something like that... You need an unlocked bootloader, basically!
If I install a different rom its not going to boot in to the rom? Why not?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Because your bootloader isn't unlocked lol, that's the whole point of the locked bootloader.
Why don't you just unlock it so that you CAN install custom ROMs?

ROM Manager installs recovery over the stock recovery, which is in the fastboot menu prior to loading the boot image. You can get into stock recovery prior to booting, but it basically does nothing. The ROM Manager recovery is semi-functional but doesn't wipe anything, which fails with installing. Romracer's recovery appears to be fully functional. After anything is installed in recovery, you will need to reboot system to initiate the bootloader. The bootloader has to load the kernel as well as the system/ROM for you to get into the environment. The bootloader checks that the signatures of the kernel and ROM match what it is expecting to see or you will get a brick. Unlocking the bootloader still loads the bootloader, but avoids the checking of signatures of kernel or ROM, if I understand correctly.
Ok but its going to let me install a rom, isn't the bootloader spouse to stop it from installing?
I just made a backup and it let me.

RSD Lite is Moto software, not for public use but leaked, that is needed for loading stock boot files (SBF). Check the development forum for all details about what you are doing/about to do/have done.

STOP doing ANYTHING to your phone RIGHT NOW. take some time to read several of the threads on the development forum and verse yourself in what RSD, SBF, fast boot, recovery, boot loaders and pudding are. there are LOTS of guides for beginners on how to change ROMs on the phone. what you're doing is NOT one of them.
if you do anything else with your phone right now without reading up and knowing what you're doing, you WILL **** up your phone.
This seems to be a troll attempt or an attempt to look really stupid, either way, the user doesn't seem to want to hear out anyone telling him to stop what he's doing, so I say just let him figure it out the hard way.

You can't get them on a custom rom
I forget what I read on a custom recovery and rooted--getting older--
I think you need to go back to stock--someone can confirm
I haven't Googled that yet either
There were some rootkeeper apps that were used on my other phones, don't know what works here
I never took OTA's after rooted and flashing my other phones as dev's seemed to have updates faster than my carrier

Generally, the newer firmware versions that get pushed out as OTA updates will be incorporated into custom Touchwiz roms, such as ShoStock and Mint Jelly. However, if you flash CyanogenMod or any other AOSP-based rom such as SlimBean or AOKP, OTA updates will be completely meaningless. It's a different world altogether.
Either way, my advice is the same: Don't mess with OTA's. At best, they could give you the same features as a custom rom. At worst, they could kill the Loki exploit and lock your bootloader for good.
