Can I just suggest that those three particular files will not stop the dataloss as boot.img recovery.img and system.img are read only images, and only written during an update, they do not store any of your actual data, also nvflash will not restore your UDA partition because it is over the 4GB barrier.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bt1980:
I am getting the same thing.

I have drivers installed. Previous version of the app worked (but i got bootloop then). Was hoping to use this new version; but ran into libnv3p.dll not found issue.

EDIT: I fixed this by downloading NVFlash separately and extracting it to the same folder as frankstools - making sure not to replace any existing files.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] isolated_epidemic:
Same here.

1.) Operating System (PC): Windows 7 Home Premium x64

2.) SBK Version: B40 TF101 so I assume 1?

3.) Model: B40

4.) Transformer Storage Size: 16gb

5.) Install Option chosen: Android/Ubuntu Dualboot

6.) Problem: libnv3p.dll not found

7.)Command Output: The program can't start because libnv3p.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

EDIT: Above suggestion seems to be working, uploading Ubuntu now. For reference I got NVFlash here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123429&highlight=nvflash

@Frankc Thank you so much for your hard work, it is very much appreciated.

now ubuntu runs without bootloops for me,..

the only reason for me to install ubuntu was because I read that "celtx" a screenwriting software would run on it,.. as a screenwriter and filmmaker that would be great for me but now that I have ubuntu running I can't figure out how to install "celtx" which is freeware,.. I downloaded and unpacked the software but just don't know how to get it started,.. I know there are a lot of forums for ubuntu but I seriously cant find a decent tutorial on how to install programs under ubuntu that I understand,.. when ever I try it nothing happens,.. that's why I thought maybe the program is just not running because of the tegra architecture,..

maybe frankc or anyone else is willing to help me,.. my regular laptop is dead and I realy need "celtx" to finish my next movie script,..

The method in this link is not possible, as you need CWM to flash it. Also, actually it was not the ubuntu kernel i wanted to flash. I wanted to update prime from 2.1.0 to 2.1.1 without CWM.

But thanks anyway.

I like this thread very much. It is very rare that noone is flaming at each other. Thanks for that :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ahmadashar:
I ha the same prob but I did the following:

1. make sure Asus sync was working

2. Installed the drivers again

3. I had the old version unzipped into a folder, so I unzipped the new version into the same folder and when asked overright all.

Not sure why but this fixed my prob
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ahmadashar:
Superb work Frank!

Work perfectly.

1 issue thou now that Ubuntu is working, everytime I restart It automatically goes in to ubuntu and I have to vol down + power to load prime. Not sure wats going on.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frankc123:
ye that dll is part of nvflash. i will upload the dll when i get a chance. im on my tf right now. You can use the dll from any nvflash package it doesnt really matter. I must of accidently unclicked that one when i packaged it. I guess nobody can be 100% perfect. But thanks everyone for not being a a** on some things and being patient. I really appreciate it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Dynosu:
Well looks like you are doing a good job on the tool. Seems succesfull for alot of people.

Cant wait to try it but have a few questions:

1. Has anyone succesfully installed on a B60? Tool says its sbkv2, but wiki's and articles say its sbkv1 ... so im like not sure.

2. If id want to restore it like it is now, is there a way to go back to just android install?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] P4d0uch:
Hi again :-)

Yesterday i successfully booted to Ubuntu but today a i always get this ?? error ??
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ahmadashar:
I get a the same thing when i try to force shut down the TF when ubuntu is loading.

I suggest you try to power off completely. the turn on by pressing vol down + power and boot into recovery.

I thing ur pressing the power button for too long. Then again I am no expert.

hope this helps
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frankc123:
That pic is a kernel output. Make sure you are using the newest tool that doesnt use aBootimg. When you see that something went wrong in the kernel. Just restart and try not to hit any buttons or anything. Also*** you have to make sure you let ubuntu install COMPLETELY***!! if you do not you will end up with problems. From the time it comes up with the Asus logo and loads ubuntu for the very very first time after using the tool it will have a few things to get done. More then likely it will have to resize the fs and change a couple more things.... DO NOT FORCE RESTART. When the User Enviorment loads on ubuntu this also may take a couple of minutes befor you see any Cursors or dialogs. It is trying to set up everything it needs to for first use. WHen your desktop loads and stuff stops popping up then and only then is the installation complete. When you are at that point you can restart.

On a side note guys, the reason ubuntu is taking over as default is because your going into android and using it to load recovery... ie. the shutdown menu :P This will happen if you do it like this. Android will set the SOS Partition/Recovery to default. Once ubuntu loads its like "Ok cool im first ill just take your seat here." Because it doesnt know its not supposed to be first. <<I hope all that made sense to yall, im not very good at explaining...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Dynosu:
found a nice small package that has the missing dll

https://dynosu.com/download/NVFlash.zip

Nvflash started

nvflash configuration file error: partition/ unknown partition type

guessing that means my b60 is sbkv2 afterall? :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] KingDavid63:
awesome that you gott the bootloop issue fixed, gonna try this as soon as i get the chance.. thanks for the persistence...

Sent from my Revolver Powered Asus Transformer
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lilstevie:
nope, that means the flash.cfg has an error.

you will be 100% sbkv1, my tool has a little bit of an inaccuracy for detecting the SBK because it goes off a usb descriptor which changed earlier, most of the time it is correct, but there are times when it isn't, look at raymans sbkdetectv2, as that follows up the test by running a test case to make sure it is the device it has identified it as
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frankc123:
On the archive i have up right now it has the libnv3p.dll inside of it. Is anyone still having the problem with the missing dll?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Dynosu:
brilliant, made a ubuntu vm and used the sbkdetect by rayman, it did detect it properly. Ill redownload the tools and try again. thanks again :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gueatx:
Nope.

I was having major issues with the update before you put this new one up. It kept failing and telling me there was a incompatible partition issue or something along those lines.

The dll's didn't cause any problems like the last update other than not showing up in the dir I extracted to since they were hidden. Didn't do that last time.

It is great this time around! Thanks for the updated package. Made my night to see that you put a new one up after 3 failed attempts!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Dynosu:
it worked!

Now im just wondering. If i would want to undo the ubuntu install (i dont right now, but i like tinkering with stuff so it might happen. Would that just be a case of flashing the prime nvflash version und voila?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tinnef:
Great to see the bootloop is fixed. Ubuntu is running on my TF now. What would make it perfect would be an easy way to:

- switch between android and ubuntu. If I understand correctly it can only be done in APX. Would be great to have an option in the tool, or better still, from the TF itself (in the OS or during boot)

- upgrade android. Would be great to also be able to use CWM.

Hi guys,

been trying and reading threads all over but still stucked with Tool not recognising tablet in APX mode.

Thanks a lot it works. Because i always press power button in Android and press Recovery.... And it hasnt work but now PERFECT
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frankc123:
@strazicic: When the program ask you to put it in apx mode that is just a reminder. All it does it reminds you, it doesnt check if your device is in apx mode. I figured yall were grown up and can rember to put your device in apx mode :P But yea it doesnt check if the device is in apx mode it is just a reminder to have it in apx mode.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frankc123:
@tinnef: If i rember correctly the boot process you are thinking of is called u-Boot. It doesnt what your talking about. lilstevie is working on the possibility of using u-boot. Or atleast last i checked he was. So maybe... one day we will have that.

[Galaxy S II General] eksasol:
One of the gold plated pin in the sim slot for my Galaxy S II broke, too bad its the real small one that is covered. I am having a hard time finding a replacement for sale anywhere on the internet.

I looked at gsm4world.us without luck. I think the best chance is to buy the one from the original Galaxy S: http://www.gsm4world.us/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-oem-sim-card-slot-flex-cable-d-03610_615.html which should fit, but faces the wrong way, then I can resolder it myself, though I'm not good at soldering and would need to buy the tool.

(Phone is not under warranty and I wouldn't want to wait 2 weeks (or so I'm guessing) and incur high cost just to repair a cheap part.)

Let this be a warning for all of you that have microSIM card like I do. I use this tray holder which is hard to insert: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Micro-Sim...y-Holder-iPhone-4-4G-USA-Seller-/250907522599 and I guess as I removed it, it takes the pin with it.
[Galaxy S II General] eksasol:
Ordered that sim slot, but simply don't want to wait due to being shipped from china. Sent it to Samsung for a replacement for $75. It only takes less than 1minute to replace the part, but sim slot seem to be almost rare on ebay.

[General Questions and Answers] Kagerusui:
Hello guys, first of all. I apologize if this question was answered recently.

But Im looking for a phone susgestion.

Phones are released every 2 hours (sarcasm) therefore I wanted to ask the experts for some phone susgestions.

Currently I have an LG G2X with T-Mobile, the phone is great, fast and does anything I ever want to do on a phone without problems.

Getting custom ROMs however is not-so-friendly. Im stuck to 2.3.

Anyway, the reason why I want to get rid of this phone is because of my provider.

T-Mobile has about 5% signal at work and I cant even browse the internet with it.

I noticed that Verizon and Sprint has great reception though (specially Sprint).

And from my little research it seems that Verizon is faster than Sprint however.

Now, Which carrier has a better phone? And by better I mean: (Key things that Im looking for)

- internet speed and reliability

- call quality

- unlimited fast internet access?

- wifi

- good GPS (although I rarely use it)

- good Camera (flash not included)

- fast processor for games and multitasking

- root friendly - (able to get latest fimwares)

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
For your needs, I would go with Sprint. They are the only carrier with unlimited data (internet). There are some quality Android phones for sprint, such as the Evo 3d and they have the Iphone now as well if you are into that.
[Motorola Droid 3] eXecuter.bin:
Haven't seen anyone mentioning it yet, so I've decided to post it here.

The DROID 4 is upon us whether we are ready for it or not. The first pictures of it popped up a few weeks ago followed by signs pointing to it arriving on December 8. We also got confirmation that training has started for some Verizon shops, along with this set of official specs. Who knew we would see it so soon?

The D4 will have a 4″ screen (LCD or AMOLED?), 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, DROID RAZR styling, 5-row slideout keyboard, 4G LTE, front camera for video chatting and an 8MP rear camera. This could be the DROID that many of you have been waiting for. The Stratosphere had LTE and a keyboard, but this phone has top of the line specs to go with them.

On a related note, thoughts on the tool needed to remove the back cover? It doesn’t have a removable battery, but the cover can be removed using that circular tool pictured above, so that you can insert a SIM and SD card.

[Motorola Droid 3] Serk102:
This is what the droid 3 should have been in the first place...Instead of opting for one standout phone though, Motorola decided to make 2 behind the curve phones in the time span of two months. They should give Droid 3 owners some kind of upgrade deal or something, that's just crazy.

edit: Did they get rid of the lip? If so, now I'm really upset, I always hated that lip at the bottom.
[Motorola Droid 3] eXecuter.bin:
I strongly agree with you. The Droid 4 seems like the phone I've been waiting for the whole time. I'm quite sure Moto released the D3 with less superior hardware solely as a marketing strategy.

Too bad the battery's no longer swappable (with the exception of removing some additional covers)
[Motorola Droid 3] ChristianPreachr:
I just got the droid 3 after tons of problems with the D2G. I must say, for not having paid for the phone, I'd be willing to pay for this D4. BUT, not being able to install an extended battery is a major dis. Sure the 1785mAh that this has is bigger then the 1500 the we have...but its still smaller than the 1950 the extended has. Who care how fast your phone is if its dead...

Does anyone know what version of Android this thing runs?
[Motorola Droid 3] i4mt3hwin:

[Motorola Droid 3] spacecasespiff:
Don't buy it. Realy the droid 4 six months after the droid 3. Then there will be thr droid 5 six month after that. That's why as soon as I can I'm never going to own a carrier phone again. Its all nexus for me. Motorola has disapointed me very much . People sign the patition pn the thread abouve this one.

Thanks, updated the OP. Hmm not certain what happened when I copied that link over.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikai_yang:
Following many SGS2 battery drain threads, I've come to this conclusion that it is due to the rare combo of SGS2 with certain routers. This might be what the AOS bug is all about.

With newer kernels we are no longer able to see this drain easily on BetterBatteruStats. Instead, I've used SystemTunerPro to do many many recordings at 1 minute intervals to record the CPU usage with wifi on/off, with my regular set up, and with a bare rom with nothing else installed.

My findings: with a freshly installed rom or not, as soon as wifi is connected to my Dlink DIR-655, the CPU usage increases from roughly 0.3% to 1% (averaged over a 10-minute sampling period with screen off, background sync off), which drops back down as soon as wifi is turned off. More interesting, when the Dlink router is out of range, turning on wifi does NOT drain the battery.

I was puzzled by the result, so I went to a local coffee shop and connect to the public wifi access point, no increase with CPU usage whether on wifi or 3g only. So something is wrong with the Dlink DIR-655.

So, following some searches, this seems to be a somewhat recognized issue by some SGS2 owners (not too may because I bet not many would not suspect that the router could be the culprit). I tried changing from auto channel to CH8...11, changing from wireless N to G, changing authentication from wpa to wep to open, each time I change something, I made a new recording with wifi on compared to wifi off. Same thing. Only when connected to my Dlink DIR-655 does the drain occur.

Note: you cannot tell if your battery is being drained by just analyzing your wakelocks. In this wifi battery drain test, no wakelock stands out in terms of time on CPU. But if you use battery monitor widget pro, you can leave your screen off and let it plot. If with screen off your current draw is 100mh or above, here you have a battery drain. Your phone can very well be in "deep sleep" when this happens.

What to do:

I use JuiceDefender to make sure wifi is turned off when screen is off. You should set wifi sleep policy to never. Even though you could set it to turn off when screen is off, sometimes wifi cannot be turned off successfully using this method. When that happens battery drains without you knowing. This is why people have a fully charged phone before going to sleep and wake up with a dead battery.

Now it's your turn to share your experiences. If your SGS2 drains battery:

Do you have a Dlink router?

Do you have a DIR-655?

Or do you have this router by but have no battery drain.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sysod:
I have the same problem with my DIR 655 and SGS2. In 18 hours with WIFI on, Android OS was top process with around 9h runtime. I also changed the WPA, channel etc. settings without result. Currently I want to downgrade the router firmware from 1.35NA to 1.21. In BBS, if I order the kernel wakelock by count I get one for about 140K, and it's active only when connected to wireless. I think the router doesn't let the SGS2 to sleep for more than several hundred miliseconds. You may play with advanced wireless settings in the router and change the Beacon Period and DTIM Interval values. I only hope that DLink will address this issue.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikai_yang:
Hi Sysod,

Did changing thevbeacon period solve your issue? Or downgrading router firmware to 1.21. From the Dlink changelog I don't see how it can improve our situation.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sysod:
I have played a bit with beacon settings without succes. I noticed a decrease in battery drain, but also a decrease in wireless performance and I stopped tweaking. I'll see if dlink do something about it or else I'll buy a new router. The firmware to my router can't be downgraded, unfortunately, even with the russian modified one.:banghead:

Why I didn't think of this? After reading that thread, I fired up Wireshark on the laptop. I found many broadcast ARP packets originating from my 2 PCs. The culprit was the Cannon scanner software.

This router is terrible. I have had so many issue with it as well as mobile/laptop battery drain.

I just got a new router (not from Dlink) and battery levels consumption is what I would call normal, as in what I would get at work/wifi AP.
