Bricked Wing(Files to Unbrick)

Ok I don't have the files but I thought it would be a good thread for all the "Wing" users. So if you have the Unbricking files and maybe a guide either post it here and maybe they will sticky it or make your own thread. if you think it's a good Idea then vote....Oh and I know I call no shots here but I figured this was a best way to let people know about this"gulp" I hope I don't get flamed for this oh btw I myself am not requesting help *Yet* But I read a few posts....I mean alot of posts about Bricking and help me do this or help me unbrick that and I also think that itje and alot of other members would Enjoy not being harassed to help some random person out. But these are just my thoughts

bricking your phone is too easy to fix. I personally did not know what i was doing when i tried a different rom, and bricked my phone but it was a fool proof way to unbrick it.. all you have to do if put your phone in bootleger mode and run the original rom from your computer... unbricking for dummies is all it is

I understand that lol it is easier then the psp but I mean for a person that doesn't know anything about this they would ask "Where do I go to Get that file?" This is a site I found on this board and sorry I don't remember who posted it if not I would give credit CLICK HERE FOR OFFICIAL RUU UPGRADES and if your on vista this can help...Oh btw I also don't know who posted it or else I would give credit IF YOU ARE USING VISTA CHECK HERE FOR HELP
also THANKS to whoever posted those links and I am just posting them here to help

With all due respect, the unbricking process is explained in the "Newbs guide to modding" thread stickied to this forum, and there is a link provided to the stock RUU.
Cheers!

Oops Double Post Please Delete

Yes and that is where I looked for my information but I can imagine that if somebody bricks their phone they would panic and wouldn't think straight so they wouldn't look into modding it more hence they wouldn't search "Newbs guide to modding" they would search "Brick","Unbrick" but since it is mentioned in here now *Thanks to you* they will be redirected to that thread and find their answer so YAY for all ,,,,No more harrasment to senior members and no more bricked phones to ....Noobs

please help

I have Froyo on a non rooted nexus is here a way to unlock and root it it I have been trying but it will not recognize the bootloader. please help .
Thank You

You can unlock it using fastboot, just like you could in 2.1, as far as I know.
From there, flash a different recovery, then use something like this quick rooter:

First of all, wrong forum.
Second of all, you're smart enough to figure out how to put an official firmware that's not released yet on your phone. So please use the search or read the forum stickies.

First of all I did not asked to be flamed just needing help If I made a mistake I am sorry but I thought this was a friendly helpful community or are you the bad apple ?

If you read the forum more, you'll find threads similar to this one, if you don't search no one will help you, especially for this very easy question you're asking.
1. Click on the Nexus One Q&A sub forum, that forum is for asking questions and getting answers.
2. There's a sticky, 3rd one down, it's titled "***Informative Links*** - Read before clicking "New Thread"". Click that, you should get to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618768
3. Right there on top, 2nd link is "Root the Nexus one Tutorial" with the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612858 Click it.
4. Follow to the directions. If you have issues, ask in that thread.
Helpful enough? LOL

Hello Everybody,
If you are a new comer like me and willing to enter this new Universe, so you must do one thing:
Read, read, read, read, read and learn! Than read some more!
Follow the steps provided by the gurus! Do not play around! You may end up paying a very high price and even bricking your lovely GNote!
The below links are just a few which I have found to be very helpful on instructing me on how to Flash and root my GNote.
Please be careful and read all threads from beginning to end! Remember on the XDA alone there are plenty of threads and information that you must read before trying to flash your International GNote!
First thing: What to ask and how to ask? A must see short introductory video as a first step as suggested by the senior member p107r0

...than do 10 Spam posts, to unlock Dev Area...
I read a lot, and found a post I wanted to thank him in the topic of my ROM. I registered just to find out, that you need at least 1 Post to thank. Ok, no problem. The last post was someone asking a question I could answer anyways. So i clicked on reply...

I can understand that, I just wanted to point that out (and do my first post to do thanks ).
It would be cool to have another possibilty. Maybe a quiz or something like that to test qualifications.

Well, I finding a bit difficult to understand your thread...I don’t see point of unlocking the Dev area unless you are in the field. As far as I am concern the dev area will not give me much, especially with the silly questions I am still to ask.
"...to test qualifications..." what is the point? Many like me turn to XDA to find an answer to a problem and likely will to have the knowledge to stand an examination.
To finalize, my idea with the thread was to provide some information, there are plenty of people going under with their phones due to stupid mistakes.
People stuffing the forum with “spam” threads should check themselves, do a full wipe and then reboot…if you know what I mean.

one additional suggestion: "[GUIDE] How to Flash ICS and Survive"

This is what I said:

This is what really happened:
I registered [because i wanted to thank a post]. I logged in (after email confirmation) and searched for the thank button, but couldn't find it. So i went to google picture search, typed in "xda thank button" (there is always at least one person making a screenshot and a arrow on it) and found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590190
and on page 2:
It works now - seems that one at least needs one post before "Thanks" is unlocked.
So...nothing for quiet readers like me

Why should I have made a new topic about it?
I usually search first at google, than xda (because of localisation) and when I still haven't found an answer there have already 3 hours passed and I might really have a problem/question noone else ever had before.
Forums are no chat. Every Question and their answers will be saved. Asking a question again and waiting for answers takes usually much longer than just google it.
Just as example the first Post in Q&A of the Note:

Are you here all crazy ? I tried to search everything and NONE link was working,and the methods were un-clear most of the threads were dead links,and also some of them were "wrong" so i made the best choice to open a new thread.
Any problem with that ? Do you now what "forum" word means ?Thank you for your time but don't answer if you think something rather than that.

Hi mate
Lots of people here including me offered you our help but you did not take the time to read , search or look out for the solution you need, the idea in all these “posts or forums” is to get feedback from other users, keeping the thread alive is the OP responsibility, keep it alive with valuable inputs, precise questions and not opening multiple threads filling the forum with lots of useless threads, that offer no information to other members who responsibly use the search function.
The threads i offered you are guides and sticky threads
Regards

Okay let's start again from the beggining.
I said on the early start of my thread which things or threads ARE NOT WORKING.
Let's move on,
nunein suggested to a towel root, which i said earlier had a dead link,so I COULDN'T done it.So not working for me.
Let's move on,
Next is Strephon Alkhalikoi which answered that i am blind and i didn't see the link which was there .That wasn't working before.
Let's move on,
Once again.
Then it's Kushan02 , that i giving me a thread with a 404 thread error. Which on the start was working but afterwards was moved.
Then in conclusion , there WAS a lot of answers for me to help me out,which i had ALREADY SEARCHED,and weren't working, so in conclusion i had to find another way out to root my phone.
That's why i tried to open this thread and ask for more opinions and ways,now that i have reported all the threads with the dead links or PM'ed the thread starter for broken links,everything are working good and well, and i have finally rooted my phone via the "re-uploaded" way of TowelRoot & Odin.
Thank you and a happy new year to all with less judgement. :fingers-crossed:

Rooting for the First Time (z981)

Pretty tired of my stock z981. I've been looking into rooting my device. I've found threads. But they point me into too many directions. Also, just to clarify, I would be rooting for the first time.
I found this thread, which has the steps.
androidforums.com/threads/new-root-method-for-z981-zmax-pro.1284305/#post-7792976
(I was going to join the discord posted in the thread, but the link/invite is expired. :| )
I need someone to walk me through the process at an elementary level, since I'm new to all this. Plus, I don't want to be to hasty and end up obliterating my phone.
I managed to turn on usb debugging. But that's as far as I got..

Seems no one answers this particular forum. My post has 33 views and not
one answer .
Sorry I couldn't be of any help, GLTY.

Use this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zte-zmax/how-to/zmax-pro-free-twrp-root-method-t3767821
and go to page 7 or 8 where PowerUser64 gives a link to an excellent resource.
That should give you root access
