maybe they shouldnt be sending out unlocked bootloaders then........lol but yea its a physical issue not a software issue so idk if they can give you crap for that

There's a Factory Reset option in the settings...I did it before returning my 1st Tab (though it wasn't rooted). Would that work?

Im trying to retrace my steps and restored the nvflash backup img i created and figured out this only affects the recovery mode.
Im not sure if I need the zip file to unroot it and install using recovery mode.
Or maybe i should just delete the superuser apk?

I need some help

So my friend gave me his broken mytouch 4g, It's stuck at the boot screen and when I hboot to recovery it gives me the red triangle with exclamation point in the middle of it I am assuming this means I have no recovery installed? I can get to hboot and trying to factory reset it doesn't work either. It's not rooted or have any custom rom installed so I don't know how to fix it. Any help is greatly appreciated,

using the method Phateless gave you doesn't involve moving files to the phone. the zip file goes on the SD card, and then boot phone into hboot

You will move the files to the micro sd card. then boot into hboot, it will read the pd15img.zip and then you can select to flash that img. it will restore the phone to stock settings. you can then proceed to root and install cwm recovery.

[Q] I cant root my Zte Blade, please help

Can somebody help me, its freaking hard
My phone:
Zte Blade
Android-version: 2.3.5
I`ve tried following root softwares:
Androot: I get Failed ! ~~~ Fu goo ~~~
Z4Root: I get to where it says acquiring root shell, then it closes
Unlock Root: I cant download ABD drivers
Superoneclick: Gets to stage 7 then it says superonclick (not answering)
I so want to root it looks so smooth, please help me... thx

@OP,Have you tried rooting via ADB or fastboot?
I have the same question even though its not a practical problem for me because I've seen a couple of people having problems rooting their Blades that have 2.3Gingerbread sold with them or upgraded to it.

Man i had exacly same problem today! i think the whole forums know that.
I did a tpt. I downloaded a GEN3 V.2 tpt and downloaded and puted it on Sd root and turned off my cellphone and hold volume+ + menu + power on.
Then i got CWM on. without any ROM. So i installed Cyanogenmod i had no signal. SO i installed 2.3.5.bin. and now am on the start.

You need a gen2 tpt... either gen2 v2a or gen2 stock from here... http://amphoras.co.uk/index.php/downloads/blade-tpts#g2v2a or tpt helper app. you'll need the stock version to be able to install ics roms.

How do I know what gen i have?

After you download the TPT Helper app,you can choose your own sizes for the 3 partitions,system,data and cache and then follow the TPT procedure.. Search for TPT in the Blade forums.. You'll find a guide.. Its tough for me to link you to one,I'm not on my PC..
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium

Or when you are done installing tpt helper open it and press all in one and choose GEN 2 stock and let it download it and that **** after when says its finisched turn off ure zte blade and start it with holdinh vol + and menu button. When thats finshed it will start into clockworkmod. Tell me when u are there!!!!

Why do all phones have to be different!?
On Sony Xperia Arc S I had to do a lot of stuff before I could flash a ROM
but on ZTE Skate I only had to put the ROM I wanted on the SD card and then just download TPT Helper from Play Store and then reboot in CWM recovery!
I'm trying to help my friend root his ZTE Blade but it's so hard and there's so much to know about the phone before you begin like Baseband, what GEN it is and what build number it has!
I thought the TPT Helper was for ZTE Blade too but I can't find any good Guide here on XDA or on MoDaCo!

my nexus 4 is bricked :(

Hey guys,
I've recently updated to android 4.3
I've installed franco kernel on top of the os and it seems to screw up my phone
the phone restarted and its stuck on the google logo
I've tried to use nexus root toolkit of WUG to install stock + unroot in the soft brick mode
and its still stucked on the google logo
tried factory reset from bootloader and now it tells me I dont have OS hehe
mmm dont know really what to do from here and not sure
I did the above mentioned steps as I should.
I dont have problem to delete everything and to do a factory reset if possible
Also I'd like to have 4.2.2 .. loved it more as I could work with franco kernel
would much appriciate any guidence on to follow up from here
as I am preety lost.
thanks alot mates!

That is soft bricked and there is like a million ways to fix it.
If you want you can sideload a custom rom of your choice or you can just use the Nexus Stock Images which allows you to install 4.2.2 or 4.3.

Since it is just Soft bricked then yes, just boot to recovery with volume up and power, scroll to recovery, select and restore your backup.

Choose your android version here, choose the Mako/Occam type.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjwr66v
From the looks of it there is no Fastboot binary in it so you need to copy them over to that folder making sure your in the bootloader and you have drivers.

And now you will laugh any time you soft brick the phone again because you'll realize how easy it is to fix it. I was in the same boat as you and learning how to use ADB/Fastboot really changed the game for me.

I had this same issue you had, and I noticed it happened because i was flashing franco kernel for 4.2.2 over JB 4.3
Make sure you are downloading the correct version of franco if you still want his kernel.

Something similar Happened to me today.....i flashed the franco kernel via the CWM recovery.....and when i rebooted the screen turened into some blue-pink coloured array....of squares.....and it doenst go over from there??? what should i do now/??

And how? This is exactly his question. Unfortunately he was to lazy to search the forum to see that there is still no recovery AFTER you have updated to KitKat. Without recovery he cannot flash supersu. Or?
