yep, I did try that, lol. I think it tries to flash whatever update.zip is on the sdcard? I'll try it again...

I would attempt to Odin again.

First, open Odin, then make sure you are in "Download" mode on your phone BEFORE connecting your USB, connect, then load the files and flash.

Hi,

I was messing around with my rooted SK4G.. freezing some apps with Titanium Backup when "building data freshness information" notification popped up and the phone would vibrate twice then once multiple times. I figured it froze so I shut it down but now it isn't booting at all. It goes through the logos and splash screens but it ends up with a black screen with some icons on top (WiFi, vibrate, signal strength, battery, and clock). It updates the clock too. When I hold the power button to shut it down it restarts. To shut it down I have to take out the battery. I tried booting into download mode (Trackpad+VolDown+power), but it doesn't seem to do that since Odin fails at SetupConnection. At bootup there is a single haptic vibration.

Any help please?

Thanks very much

EDIT:

I got it to go to download mode by doing so (got it from the Vibrant forums):

Remove the battery.

Connect the phone to the computer.

Hold VolDown+Trackpad and put the battery in.

Voila, boots into download mode.

Now I hope Odin works :D

EDIT2:

It didn't work. Odin failed at Complete (Write)

I repartitioned with the PIT file and it passed.. still a black screen.. took off the battery and I'm trying to do it with the TAR+PIT now

EDIT3:

That failed :(

What do please?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
I am in the same boat. there is an updated .tar file somewhere in the middle of this thread that will pass when flashed with Odin, but the phone will only boot into stock recovery and nothing else. I believe that we are unfortunately pretty much soft-bricked until we can get a proper .tar file or an update.zip that can be flashed in stock recovery :(

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tweeklulz:
Hm. The T-Mobile store opens in about an hour and a half.. I will try to get it replaced (I just got it yesterday rofl).

If that fails I guess I'm just going to wait for a working TAR. As long as we can boot into download mode there is hope right?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
yep, there is hope for sure, even if you can't get it replaced, just need a proper file or two.

Stuff like the TV tuner is pretty standard in Japan even though it's nearly unheard of on cell phones here. Does not say what processor it's got though it's probably decent. If you were to look at purely the specs it's not a bad little device.

However, it's ugly as all hell. If it was a slider (like the shift) or a slab (like the evo) it would look a lot better IMO. The colors are sorta ugly but not all that terrible. Except for that teal color, that's just wrong.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dainesefreak:
A word of warning - I received my USB 3.0 extension cable from Amazon yesterday, plugged it in when I got home and it started to charge. I noticed after a few minutes that the charge icon had disappeared and now the charger does not seem to work at all; tried both dock and tablet sockets.

This was the cable recommended from the other thread on the forum about charging the device.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003QZKMU4/ref=oss_product

I'm fairly sure that it is the UK three pin socket part that has died as the machine is picked up by my PC over the USB cable. I've tried the usual taking the thing apart and re-clipping it back together, I've even checked the teeth on the cable to make sure nothing is damaged, still no joy.

I've emailed Asus support but after reading through the forum I'm not overly positive that they will be any help at all. I suppose I'll have to wait for the Chinese/Hong Kong factories to start kicking these out on Ebay as there doesn't seem anything in the UK at the moment. So I'll sit here and watch my 90% battery slowly die and the machine get covered in dust.

They are doing a doorstep swap tomorrow for me.

I have also posted about PSU's with a known fault, look in the accessories forum
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazzawright:
I had the same issue. For me i fixed my PSU by unplugging everything for 20 minutes. Sounds silly but it works. Unplug from the wall socket, take the usb out of the PSU and the TF and leave it al alone for 20 minutes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dainesefreak:
I checked my serial number a few days ago and it was supposed to be one of the ok ones.

I also took the thing to pieces as much as I could without resorting to a screwdriver. It's been left out over night and put back together a few times.

The whole thing doesn't look to be the best put together electrical item I've seen. In fact my Desire charger makes it look like some 5p Chinese shonk, oh err hang on a minute it is.

Just looking at iPad chargers now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EMINENT1:

I did that too, but it didn't work for mine, so i tapped it on my desk and voila, it works fine now.....dunno how long it'll last though
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dainesefreak:
Funny you should say that, I was all about to give up and then gave it the tap of life on the window ledge and it started working again. The annoying part was that I'd moved it from the usual changing point to test it out so I have had to very gingerly move it back.

It's still working but I'm not sure how long it will last. I think that maybe the USB lead must have move something out, which is odd as it was a really loose light connection. The upshot is the charger is now going to be left untouched and the USB 3.0 lead is going in the bin.

Not really a robust item the wall charger!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pogul:
Charger or dock battery??

I don't know the inner-workings between the charging adapter, the USB cable and pins - and the dock battery itself so I thought I'd throw this out there:

My dock battery has stopped charging. I can plug the tablet into the dock - have the dock plugged into the wall - and the tablet itself will charge (and the adapter will heat up) - but as soon as I remove the tablet, the adapter cools down, and the dock battery never charges (just blinks orange forever).

I've just been assuming all along that it was the dock or the dock battery that had gone bad for some reason.

But would it be possible that it could be a pin / cable / adapter issue instead?

I wonder if different pins control the charging of the tablet vs the charging of the dock?

I'm *hoping* it's the dock itself because at least I can still return that and wait for another to come in stock. But if it's the adapter or cable, it looks like I'd be SOL and have to send my whole freakin tablet back for a replacement! :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevCake:
I'm sitting on hold with Asus now because last night neither my tablet or dock would charge. I do not have the extension cable but have one on order from Ebay. I was planning to test all the pins on the cable while the unit was charging to figure out which additional pins are communicating with the charger to start the charge. While sitting on hold I came across this post and decided to try the charger again and now my tablet is charging. Will try the dock once I'm fully charged.

I love my TF but this charging stuff is micky mouse. I hear some people can charge connected to a PC, I have never been able to. Now I need to do some more searching to see who had what extension cable from where.

Check the thread link in my signature to see my finding for making a cable to allow charging from other sources.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dainesefreak:
It's all a bit of pot luck by the sounds of it.

Don't leave it on charge over night, don't plug the wrong sort of USB lead in and don't move the charger.

I think I'll be buying some £2 Ebay charger as soon as they appear, can't be any worse. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jschmier:
A sense of panic set in when my charger stopped working after trying to use a USB 3.0 extension cable I purchased from Monoprice. After following this simple suggestion, I'm happy to report that all is working once again.

Whenever I see Gorilla glass strength demonstrated, it is always using impacts on the front of it. Not on the edges. This tablet looks like it landed on it's edge where the glass is weakest.
