Sorry everyone just trying to help out a co worker who has the mytouch and something is wrong with in not booting into android or recovery for some reason.
Right now don't have access to a pc to run the unroot method with champion build using pc but I found the production nbh from wesgarner over at androidspin following link
http://db.androidspin.com/androidspin_developer_display.asp?developerid=63#280
can I just download that using my phone to his memory card and then flash it is his device and will be like original retail device or will I have to use the other method with the pc. There was no definitive answer that just that one file would unroot or not. Just has a link that if then wants a certain build number and links to androidspin but with experiance with the g1 was just dreaimg and then back on android 1.0 did not know if this was the same or not.

As long as you didn't apply the OTA update, all you need to do is place that file on the root of your SD card, and flash it. No PC needed.
Does the ota make a change that would prevent it from working like a change in radio or anything.
Don't think the update would really matter would it? We are not sure if it had it or not. If it had the update what would have happened if it had the update? Downloading the image now gprs is soo slow lol thank you in advance.

I'm having basically the same issue. My question is how do you install Wes' files? Shouldn't there be an update.zip? Or do I rename one of the files to update.zip.
P.S. All I have access to is stock recovery. Please help.
Mine is yet still downloading. Sorry i havent tested. You should not have to rename or anything will be one file named ESPRIMG.nbh just need to be on root of sdcard and start in bootloader mode. Phone will then walk you thru everything

That link gives me the ESPRIMG.zip file.
I put it on the root of my SD and booted into hboot, it updated then gave me the typical options to go to recovery and so on. It didn't go through any process of reflashing stock expresso. I selected recovery, then rebooted.
Now I'm back stuck at the tmobile mytouch slide screen.
Sound like something didn't go right. Either you will need to re download or format card
Hi guys . my previous device is MOTOROLA DEFY , within a week flashed , rooted and patched few themes on the device .. but on GN(verison,internl version) i find lill bit difficult .. is that necessary to unlock bootloader before rooting the device ? i have found a thread in general section about root,unlock bootloader etc do i follow the post or any other thread which is easier than that ?

Galaxy Nexus couldn't be easier honestly ... have you seen the toolkits? there is a one step process and it does everything for you (only mention this way cuz you've never done it before). Use the toolkit its the easiest route but you don't learn anything that way.
As long as you flash a GSM radio to a GSM Galaxy Nexus you are going to get some signal reception. People say this and that which is their favorite and which works best in their area ect but really just go with the latest one for North America UGCL1 and you will be fine.
Cheers and good luck dont be afraid to ask for help or guidance and most of all enjoy your Gnex\!

yes it will unlock the bootloader, root and flash cwm recovery
you can upgrade to 4.0.4 stock i assume? you can get that file from herehttps://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/yakju-imm76i-factory-8001e72f.tgz
you can flash that with the toolkit by putting it in the "factory images" folder where the toolkit installed and selecting the option to flash factory image (or whatever its called) ... you will have to reroot and install cwm recovery again afterward ...
i would suggest flashing Cyanogenmod 9 instead
My wife's Tmobile Samsung galaxy s2 got wet and now it's only recognized as "unknown device" by PC via USB connection. The sim card is not detected either but everything else work fine. The battery still charges ok with usb cable and PC can access the phone with kies. Now I’m trying to find out if it’s possible to root this phone without usb connection.
I've searched the forum and seen many people asked the same question before. Pretty much all answers were that it's impossible to root without pc/usb. Sorry I’m asking this again but I see some more recent posts (first 2 links below) in the I9100 Galaxy S2 forum suggesting it's doable by following the guide at the 3rd link below.

so my questions are:
do I understand this correctly and it's indeed possible to root tmobile gaglaxy S2 in a similar way to what described in the I9100 forum? If yes do I have to get the ICS first? I suppose I can get it via PC+Kies since the sim card is not working. the CWM.zip file (cwm stock recovery) used in the guide above seems for AT&T galaxy s2 only. is there a .zip file for tmobile version too? I found a .img file but don't know if it will work and how to put it into the external SD card.
many thanks

I dunno about you but if my wifes phone got wet.. I'd be getting it fixed asap before I got my head chewed off instead of worrying about rooting it..
As far as an initial recovery flash with cwm goes, I was under the impression the only way to do it was with ODIN while in download mode and rooting it through the flashable zip from CWM.. Maybe someone can offer some better suggestions though..
Hello there,
I am very new with Android phones and I have some questions if someone can answer me please.
I have done hard reset my Galaxy S3 couple days ago and I was trying to run "Video Hub".
"Video Hub" was giving me an error message that is "Device authorisation is failed"
Honestly, I do not mind that this app does not work but it really challenge me that the "Hard Reset" does not really clear all the information on my phone.
Here is my question.
1. Is there a way to re-format or re-install android OS on my phone? (something like returning to the beginnig of my phone when I bought it)
2. I have two ROMs (one is the Bell Jelly Bean ORIGINAL rom and Bell Jelly Bean ROOTED rom), using these ROM, can I re-install android OS without voiding warranty?
3. if my phone get "Bricked", using the Bell Jelly Bean ORIGINAL rom, can I unbrick my phone? (I saw some post that I need CWM? do I need to get additional file to download?)
Could please someone explain me? I am ready to learn new things but I need some basic knowledge. please help me...
Thanks, guys!
Device authorisation is failed
here is the link to earlier official firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625 download the appropriate files drivers,and flashing software, no need to root no cmw you will be able to back to orgional stuff.

Re.
first, thank you so much for replying my post.
but I want to make sure what I understand from your reply.
So do you mean, if I just flash the original stock ROM, it will remove all the previous information without voiding warranty??
Thank,

Come on man this is simple. you shouldn't be flashing if you don't have a failsafe anyways. Look up the correct image/country/carrier for your phone and that is your backup. If you can get to Odin you can always get back to square zero
Thanks for the replay.
I don't know why I am worried so much.
Before it gets wrong, I just wanted to be ready.
I will try that when I get home today.
thanks, guys!

Hi, I need help please, here is question:
I bught my i747m a week ago, im from mexico and Telcel is the local carrier, Can something go wrong if a Install any official stock rom from another country?
I am using a Bell Galaxy S3 SGH i747M with baseband MVLUFNH2 looking to unlock this phone. I am currently under the impression I have to revert to jellybean to do this. Is this correct and if not can someone please point me in a definitive direction?
Once the phone is on 4.3 or newer bootloader, the only way to unlock the phone would be to purchase an unlock code.
I know that the regionlockaway app can be used for Bell/Rogers/Telus s4 but I haven't seen any method for the s3.

Ok Your post is confusing me in that it sounds like the second sentence hints that the regionlockapp can unlock a bell/rogers/telus phones for free even if on 4.3 for S4?
For the s4 from Bell/Telus/Rogers (sgh-i337m), you need to downgrade to stock 4.4.2, flash the stock 4.2.2 modem, root, run regionlockaway app, reflash stock 4.4.2 or 5.01 ROM. The s4 should now be permanently sim unlocked.
With the s3, certain modem/bootloader combinations can brick the phone so I don't know if regionlockaway will work on the s3 sgh-i747m.
God this is a nightmare i figured such an old phone would be easy to root and unlock and every damn lead I follow leads to a dead end.
I searched high and low for a free unlock method. I finally gave up because I did not want to take a chance and brick my phone by trying to downgrade the modem, rooting, and installing regionlockaway. Unlock code was $15.
I'm not too great with this stuff anymore but why can't a good coder edit the files within and unlock it simply by flashing the edited file? In the end its all code right?
I'm on 4.4.2 running an old cyanogen nightly. I purchased an unlock code and when I type it in it says Network Unlock Request Unsuccessful. Any Ideas?
You need to be running a stock dialler in order to enter the unlock code which means you need to flash back to stock or flash a custom rom built from a stock rom.
I did manage to sim-unlock an I747M with 4.3 version of Android (build JSS15J.I747MVLUEMK5) -- or, at least, it doesn't show the "enter network unlock code" anymore... via ServiceMenu, perso SHA off, and NV rebuild/restore; procedure is described elsewhere on the forum. No such luck with 4.4.2 (tried downgrading -- no go)
Now -- an assumption: since there are various remote USB unlocking services on-line, claiming success remotely unlocking the I747M with 4.4.2, someone -- and likely more than one -- here on XDA knows how this is done. I've been trying to piece together the procedure for it, going through pages and pages of discussions, not finding much.
I'd like to appeal to those who know -- please share the knowledge, or at least point in the right direction those of us who want the DIY solution...
cheers
You sim unlocked the i747m that was running stock 4.3 using a hidden menu? That would be great news. Did you try inserting a sim card from another carrier and connect to their network?

I tried inserting a few non-registered/old SIMs from a variety of carriers (incl. european); the phone did not produce "Network lock code" prompt, and just reported "unregistered SIM", just like a _known_ (i.e., tested in the field) SIM-unlocked phone I have.
If you are able to get a sim to try connecting to a network, other than the original carrier, let us know. Thanks.
