$50 Bounty to Help Me

---

I am willing to pay $50 to the person who can help me solve my problem.

I have a successfully rooted T-Mobile T989 that I have been using for 2 weeks. I decided to un-root the T989 using the procedures listed here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1319830

Then installed the :

SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip

When I rebooted my phone the ROM does not appear to take at all - instead it restores my phone to a state it was in on 10/20. The phone also keeps rebooting itself over and over.

When I install the SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip from recovery, it reboots 2 seconds after it says "Setting Permissions"

I have tried wiping everything, factory resetting but to no avail.

hold volumen down or up + power
go back into download mode
use odin to flash back the root

with root you can fix most of those issues
in CWR select the option to Fix Permissions

use wipe factory reset, to wipe out everything
then reboot a couple of times to make sure it's stable

once it's confirmed, then you can try to flash the un-root back into the phone
using this info http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1319830
by flashing this file SGH-T989-Stock-Recovery.tar

Where are you located?

Right. Thats why I hold myself from rooting my SGSII until there is a proven tested method without surprises.
Screwing up your phone is easy but paying bounty to get it fix sounds to me like a self-torture. No, thanks.

If you read extensively and follow directions to a T there's no way possible you can brick your phone. I don't know about you guys but I read about how to root, how to unroot, etc so you save yourself from headaches. Some people probably jump into things without reading and that's where issues show up. I even watch videos to get an idea if I'm not too confident.

This is exactly what I do also. I cover all ends when messing around with root. I didn't root till I knew there was a definite way back to stock.

That's how everyone should do it. Its almost fool proof to do it that way. When I rooted my first Android phone (G1) it took me about 3 days to finally do it. I read extensively and watched videos etc till I built up some confidence and got the job done with no issues at all.
