I can't seem to factory reset my old galaxy tab 8.9 (GT-P7300). I wanted to try and install some form of cyanogen on it but i can''t seem to even enter the bootloader.
The screen shows two icons... one "download" and one with a box and an arrow.... I select the box and arrow but after that it just goes blank.
I am pretty sure its not letting me access the bootloader because im still not logged out of samsung acc (i cannot remember the pass to logout) but don't know for sure... please help.

Ok so i got this g1 for free. I dont have t-mobile im on att. Im also nostranger to HTC ive been using the Diamond and TYTAN 2 for years now!
So when i first turned the phone on it would boot into android and tell me i needed a t-mobile sim. Well my plan was to get an unlock code and use the phone with ATT. Anyways for some reason i turned the phone on and and it started booting to the triangle screen... Id treid alt l then wiped the phone and reverted back to stock settings but it still boots to the triangle screen. I have no idea why the phone just started doing this. I also have no idea the history of the phone if its ever been rooted or anything. I need to get this phone working again so i can attempt to unlock it.
I tried to follow the unroot article to get back to stock but when i put the spl on an sd card named update.zip it wouldnt install it says no signiture found verification failed. I also downloaded rc29 and renamed it to update tried to install but that failed with a diffrent error.
Im not sure why im going straight to the triangle screen like i said i never screwed with the phone at all i just turned it on and it started doing that. Im turning the phone on by taping the end call button.
I know you said you tried to follow the steps to root the phone but it sounds like you didn't do it the correct way.
If you have the RC29.zip you need to unzip it and move the Dream.nbh file over to the root of your SD card. Then press and hold the camera button while powering on the phone. It will go to a gray screen where it SHOULD say "Press power to install update" you do that....DO NO INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS! and then once that is done you should be back to the very bare bones stock G1. Problem is you need to do more than that to get Root access, and the rest of the steps would require being signed in. There should be a thread on here somewhere about signing in w/o a SIM card which you need to search for and follow.
here is the best root guide if you haven't found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
ya i havent tried the above article yetl i tried to unroot the phone, not root it. Becuase it saidit would revert back to stock settings and im not sure wether the phone has been rooted.
.
I will work through this a little bit later but like i said the phone goes straight to the triangle exclamation point screen where you press alt l or whatever alt combo you want. So there is no way i can tell if its below rc30... Also screwing around earlier i held down the camera button and tapped end call it still went to the same screen with the triangle. Maybe that becuase theres no spl installed? Like i said this phone was working fine and then it just stoped booting into android and started going into this recovery mode or whatever it is, so im not even sure if rooting is what i need to do. As of right now i jst want it to boot up again and tell me no sim card found so i can work from there.
The triangle screen is stock RECOVERY.
You have set the boot recovery flag.
Try pressing home-back when you're in there.

Hey guys
I managed to root my device with the first guide (oneclick) and uninstalled alot of LG crap, same time i uninstalled the LG launcer. - Today i got a problem with my device. I couldnt ring and hear people when i manged to get in contact.
I decided to factory reset the phone, but my problem is that i dont have any launcher now. When i do the hard reset thing (vol down + home and power on) i can get to the screen where i can type in pin code, but after that there is black screen cause there is no launcher. The search function dont work but the notification bar is working. so i cant get to the market and install. Mostly it just shows the LG logo when the phone is turned on and the touch screen is working cause it makes the click sound. But nothing else.
Does some one have an idea to how i can get a launcher installed ??
thanks in advance
Please use search function. This problem is already discussed here. You have to use ADB.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
Sorry the other threads i found was about how to get other launchers. But i will try read deeper into to threads then ;(

Hello my fren.. Did u in the 1st place had made backup or ur rom via nandroid before removing stuff from ur rom? If yes then its too bad.. But there is always an alternative..
1. Download a custom available here and place it in ur mmc card.
2. I presume that u have paulobrien 3.0.1.4 r1 - ClockworkMod Recovery for the LG Optimus 2X installed then flash it via clockwork.
3. Enjoy ur new fast phone!!
naah i did not backup.. thought i would never need it.. but i was wrong..
so here is what i did.
When the nortification bar was working i went into the musicplayer from there, in there i managed to get the search funtion in albums wich gave me the opportunity to search on the internet via the browser (wich i could not open or find cause no launcher ).
I went to 4shared from there and found a launcher but i could not install it because the installing from other source funtions was disabled. Fortunately it gave me the option so i could enable it and i did.. AND YEEEHA i manged to install a launcher and retsarted and it dos work !!!
Before when i pressed the home button it just restarted the phone i could do nothing ! only black screen with logo.. so i reset it and tried the above...
it seems that my phone is still rooted, cause i have the "superuser" thing but when i get time i will unroot it and sell this crap of a device and get back my old Nokia N8 again
Don't just root your phone without learning how to actually use the powers it gives you. If you remove anything from /system you will not be able to restore it with factory reset, because factory reset relies on what is in /system. But I guess you figured that out the hard way.
Learn to use ADB and nvflash, nvflash being the easiest based on the guides at 2x.modaco.com. ADB can get you out of most trouble by editing/replacing single files and nvflash will enable you to overwrite all partitions, i.e. with a stock ROM.
Everything you need is in these forums or in the wiki.
yea the hardway was more fun ;-) (actually not )
I was trying the ADB way, but my computer didn regonize the phone so it was difficult
Now i just need the stock apps and launcher so i can unroot it again
start off with this page:
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/
once you have restored the stock rom you can now delete the clockwork recovery by using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554
after that unroot in superoneclick and your all done.

What do you want for the phone - lol?
Funny how when ever some user messes up something - then its the device that is crap
Ehmm the deivce is crap... the sounds is terrible.. and the reason why i messed up was i had problems with the device. When i call some one they cant hear me and i cant hear them.. same with income.. but i can text msg.. and its not my carrier or other stuff.. it is the ceappy device ;-)

You can do this: - lock bootloader
- power on device
- enable adb debugging on device
- make sure you have adb and fasboot working corectly
- connect device via usb to PC
- run RUU with administrator rights
- and from there on just follow the instructions given by software

you really need the 2-4 lines i mentioned up for this to work
Well I managed to lock my bootloader and that, but when i tried to install the RUU it gave me a error. I think it might be an older version.
I think I'm going to need the 2.00.771.3 version :S
I think my phone is useless now. A bit of info, I tried factory resetting my phone (I have rooted my phone prior to this and stupidly thought that factory reset would get rid of the root) but when I reset my phone after the inital setup had gone through all menus it said setup has stopped working. Then my phone wouldn't work no apps or home screen, I could recieve calls and then go onto my settings at the top but nothing more then that, I'm not sure how I can get my phone working again now lol

Do you have official firmware downloaded on your PC? At this point that's what you need to flash. If you can't find it here you need to find it at SamMobile.com. They basically have a Monopoly of phone firmware so there ain't many choices. SamMobile can be frustrating, especially when you are trying to get your daily driver out of a bootloop, lol I've been there to many times. But the site will tell you to sign in, then then will tell you again to sign in as your looking at your little avatar in the top right corner. Then "click here to download" that is more functional as a "back" button. Keep clicking around till it downloads. No matter your download speed it will take about 5 hours unless you buy a subscription.
After that try something different once you get it back to factory settings, lol. It takes a bunch of resets before you get it right when you are new to this stuff. It did for me at least
