I just tried this out on my transformer because I was bored.

After 5 attempts it locked me out for 30 seconds. After 5 more attempts it rebooted into recovery mode and then launched android. It had wiped all my data. Home screen layouts, apps, app data - the works.

I just restored from a CWM backup so no harm done - but this could be really annoying for someone who didn't have that option.

I'm guessing that it was the exchange server that my email account is linked to that caused the wipe.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lakeshow423:
Here is the lockscreen I'm getting whenever I load up after full wipes. I never uses the Asus lockscreen only the pattern so I don't know if this is the password default one. I'm gonna try flashing the superwipe then ARHD before I go the nvflash route. Is there a good tutorial for nvflashing? Sorry for the nooby questions but this is all new to me. Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lakeshow423:
Ok fellas...after the superwipe script and flashing ARHD it finally booted into the main screen without asking for a password! Thanks for the help guys :D !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ifly4vamerica:
Nice man. I think you probably could have wiped that manually to get it working too but it never hurts to superwipe. I'm sure you know but there is a superwipe lite version too that doesn't wipe the internal sd card.

Was it because the filesystem was encrypted? I recently purchased a transfomer and noticed there was an option to encrypt the local filesystem and it would a require a password during bootup that is not tied to your google account.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tortel1210:
Yeah, looks like encryption was turned on. That's why it didn't ask for a password, this is before the system boots
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ifly4vamerica:
One would acquire that right here.

I'm having the same issue with the same screen and keyboard minus the safe mode text. I updated to the newest version of the revolver rom, then the next day I was using the tablet it went dark then came up with the password screen. Ive tried super wipe, reflashing and restoring, nothing is working, still boots with the revolver animation and ends up at the keyboard. Help!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Novarider:
Is that the light version that doesn't wipe to external sd card? Is there a thread for the superwipe?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] crazyrobcustoms:
I'm still stuck at the password screen, Someone has to be able to help me out, I have a B70, So I cant nvflash..

I think if i was going to Verizon I would get it too. Just cus I'm a Beats fan lol. But i don't know what imma pick for ATT. The HTC Vivid still has a locked bootloader, and the Skyrocket doesn't have much for development. And I'm not a big Sammy fan. And I really don't want to get a 4s.

[HTC EVO 3D] rambo8987:
Lol the 4s is no good anyway. The camera is a bueaty tho
[HTC EVO 3D] rambo8987:
Kinda was force to....not really a choice
[HTC EVO 3D] Ruki_Uki:
I agree with that. The only other thing I can think of, is get a 32gb 4s, and then once a new android phones comes out for ATT, sell or trade the 4s. It should be easy enough to do.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyberlync:
So I have an lg g2x originally running gingerbread 2.3.3 and I went through this procedure -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1259852&highlight=linux+g2x+root

Everything seemed to work as described except that the phone now will not boot. I get to the LG screen but then the buttons just blink and shuts down and tries to boot again.

I must have missed a step somewhere, though I am not sure where that might have happened. In any case, I would like to get this working or, at the very least, get the phone back and working.

I am running linux and do *not* have access to windows at all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Which LG screen are you getting? The static one or the one with a moving green bar underneath it? Can you still boot into Clockworkmod Recovery or was that a no go? You need to give more detailed information so people can figure out at what point in the boot process your phone is rebooting.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyberlync:
I get that initial booting LG screen with the face and the letters LG, there is no green bar. It sits in that screen for 15 or 20 seconds then attempts to reboot. Well, thats what I assume happens. The screen goes black, the buttons along the bottom flash and then after a few seconds that white LG screen comes back and it does it all again. It never gets past that and never into CWM. I can still put it in the flash mode that allows nvflash to connect and do its thing, but thats about it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
If you have successfully nvflashed cwm. Then you should be able to get into cwm by holding volume down+power until it goes to a blueish LG screen. Then flash a rooted rom from there.

That is the easiest/safest way of rooting a g2x. If you haven't done this you can Google "nvflash g2x Linux" and find guides on how to do it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyberlync:
Right, thats exactly what should happen. Unfortunately, its not what actually happens. During bootup I a can hold power + volume down all day long and get the exact same behavior. Its a bit disconcerting.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyberlync:
[solved]

Guys, I found the problem and figured I would post it here for future folks.

I was unable to start my phone plugged into the charge (both to the computer and to the wall). I had to have the battery in for this to get to a good place. I guess initial startup just took too much power.

So if you do this, after using the restore script. Press the power button and volume down hold both, then *put in the battery*. Thats what worked for me.

thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonutGrunt:
I love Android, and especially the community that every device has.

I currently have an Epic 4G Touch (Sprint's GSII) and I have never owned a tablet.

This Thanksgiving break I visited my cousins and lo behold, practically all of them had an iPad 2. It was a very convenient thing to have around, I never really saw a tablet as a useful item. But I see that tablets are really neat now, it's like a phone, but bigger and not as heavy and clunky as a laptop.

And with today's web based world, it's really convenient to have a tablet on your coffee table to just use when chatting with friends, family gatherings or just watching tv and you need to look up something on the web. Or a device to watch Netflix or Hulu on, but your phone's screen is just too small and it's weird to hold it. Blah blah, useful features could go on.

Anyways, I missed the BestBuy sale for $250 unfortunately, and Gamestop is sold out for $300. But on Craiglist, a lot of folks are selling them for $330 unopened because they are bastards and bought them during black friday to make a profit.

I know the Transformer Prime is coming out on 12/8 for $500 but I simply can't afford that. Do you guys think that the regular Transformer will drop down in Price after the Prime comes out?

So I am left with multiple dilemmas:

1. Buy brand new for $330 off craiglist

2. Wait for possible price drop

3. 3D monitor + nVidia 3D vision kit

4. Solid State Drive

When I look into Android products I look into the modding community for the device on XDA, and it looks like the Eee pad has the best one.

So, should I get one or no?

If you could provide me with a link to buy one for under $300, I will buy it without hesitation.

Thank you
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imitebewrong:
I can't give you a link, but I will tell you that you will certainly love your Eee Pad. Keep looking. This week has a lot of good internet deals. You're bound to find something. Otherwise offer someone on craigslist around $315 and see if they bite. Even at $330, its still a great value.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will3330:
As an owner of a transformer I can personally say that it's a great device. It does everything for me (including the stuff you listed) and i'm not sure how much a performance boost the quad core will actually bring (to me i think the tegra 3 is an overkill in processor power).

I recall asus saying that when the transformer prime is released, the old transformer price will drop to 250 and 350 for the 16 and 32gb models (respectively). Don't quote me on this though.

However, if your interested in the dev/modding of the transformer you may be disappointed. I believe all the models you'll find in the stores today will have a locked kernel which means you can't root the device (until the xda dev's figure a way out)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonutGrunt:
What really? No way...

If I can't root it that's a deal breaker right there :(

edit: well im doing some current browsing on the forum and no where does it mention that some models can't be rooted.

In fact there's a one click root for all models in the dev section
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
New models can be rooted now. There is a link in the dev section somewhere. If you can wait untill the Prime comes out I will have 2 32gb for sale. Already rooted, with or without docks. In fact when the Prime comes out like the other poster said I bet you can get a good deal. I was planning on selling mine for 300 without dock when the time comes.

Edit: Post for rooting all versions is in dev section look for "razorclaw"

Well since you got two, and the Prime comes out in a week or so, why not C.O.D. one of those babies to my location :D?

$300 is a deal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imitebewrong:
I can personally tell you the new ones can be rooted VERY EASILY using razorclaw with one click. It took less than a second... I have a B90 and I bought it this week. Rooted, custom rom, cwm, and overclocked.

If you buy a transformer retail you can always get a price adjustment if it does drop. Bestbuy extended their return policy for 60 days during christmas. Just an idea.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techsmith:
Save your money and go to Best Buy and price match it with Game Stop for $299. I just bought the wife one for Christmas. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
There will be a lot of these for sale as people trade up to the Prime, however I would be very cautious of the Craig's list ones advertised as new

in

box. They are more likely to be used

with

the box. The same thing happened when the current transformer replaced the Viewsonic Gtab. Once the prime comes out, you should be able to get a good used TF for $250 or so with some acc.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Ha! I would take you up on that but the second one is technically the other halfs. It does however have a sweet purple and pink flower theme on it.

How do i go about price matching when gamestop is sold out online?

Would they just be like even if you wanted the gamestop one, you couldnt cause its sold out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thrillhouse847:
No, as long as it's a current advertised price they should match it, in stock or not.

I just called the best buy in my town and they said it had to be in stock in the store in our town too. So no deal on that. Luckily I snagged one last night from bhphotovideo for 344. Hopefully they don't get too cheap any time soon. They are selling out almost everywhere though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ammarr:
You should be able to find one for $300. I bought one (excellent condition, barely used) last week with dock for $350 and there seem to be a few at around 320 without dock. Wait a week or so, people who have it at 320+ will not end up selling them anyway and when the prime comes out they'll go in the 250-300 range pretty quickly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nellycruzz:
Best buy models are tf101-x1 and everywhere else they are the original tf101-a1. Best buy did this to prevent price matching the device because Walmart and others sold the a1 model, good luck on price matching :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mutnat:
Just to revisit the original question for a moment, the SSD purchase might be a compelling alternative. It depends how you use the PC you would be putting it in, but they can pretty dramatically speed up a lot of tasks. Disk I/O is quite often the bottle neck in modern systems, and going from a spinning platter and arm to no moving parts could have a dramatic effect. Again though it all depends on how powerful your system is (if it can take full advantage of the IO speed gains), and what types of tasks you use it for.

Of course the flip side of that is: you may end up using your PC a LOT less if you pick up a Transformer, Prime or original. I know I do. Between my blackberry (email, instant messaging) and transformer (web surfing, google reader for rss feeds, and occasional angry birds or similar simple gaming), I barely have to use my laptop any more.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxvsmith:
I got mine during black friday at best buy too. I was hestitant at first and wasn't sure about the rooting because of it being a newer and different model but this tablet is amazing. I love the internet, FLASH!, the apps, and the widgets. I hooked up to my tv the other day to show my roomates and they were blown away. I already rooted mine too just need to overclock it. This is is my first tablet and android device. The camera isn't that great but I did not get it for the camera. I recommend the best buy way. Buy it now and when the prime comes out you can return it to best buy and get the prime.

If I play with the prime and it seems worth it I will probably do that. However, if you want a first generation one there will probably be lots of people selling them on here. Totally worth the black friday mess and being short for rent. Also, if you use your phone as a hot spot with it it's even more amazing. There are plenty of apps to enjoy even without wi-fi and spotify or rdio for music.

I atually do use my laptop less now. Only thing I dont like is the laggyness of the keyboard strokes on this site. I am hoping overclocking will solve it. Dolphin and stock are both fast but I like dolphin the best so far. I'm falling in love with the touch gestures. Made one just for XDA
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techsmith:
There are a couple of ways to get it for $299. Call around to the local game stops and see if they have the transformer in stock. When you called best buy you gave too much information.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damitu:
I got mine off of Amazon paid $350 with tax and free shipping. Right now you can get one used (like I did) so what if its not in plastic...for $339.

I don't want to bash Craigslist but, at least if you get it from Amazon or

NewEgg or others, you CAN return it if there are any problems.

i flashed the NOVA ROM. it is good generally but i feel like going back to the stock 2.2 v10d. sadly i forgot to make a backup due to excitement of flashing:o

[LG Optimus Black] masterthor:
Stock roms are available on the http://luivit.altervista.org/firmwareP970/ URL, and you can use the normal KDZ method in order to flash them, using the details on the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111771 page.

Hi,

People have been complaining about the black botches and green screen issues with the Razr on this forum but for some reason i have not seen any sort of green tint or black botches on my phone...even at extreme angles and in the darkest of backgrounds...

Just uploading some Low Quality Pics of the screen from Different angles at low brightness to show that I absolutely cannot see any green tint on the screen...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nafpez:
Is it on the lowest brightness setting? If not, lol put to the lowest and im sure youll notice it then
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JainB:
Its on the lowest brightness
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Neurotica:
Download a plain black background that will fit your entire screen when viewed in gallery, then put your phone in the lowest possible brightness(not auto-brightness), then go in a dark room, with 0 lights(night time if possible) then tell me if you still don't see the black spots all over the screen.

Every single RAZR has it and I have come to believe that those minorities that do not see it, are not creating the perfect condition for them to see it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opensourcefan:
Not sure why I would wanna create the perfect situation to see something I don't want to see.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nafpez:
Either you are one of the lucky very few or the conditions are not right.

I get a strong green tint only in the lowest brightness setting, no matter the colour of the screen.

And the black blotches, go to a dark room, reboot the phone and...well just look lol, when the screen is black (most of the boot up screen is black) its pretty unmissable TBH.

---------- Post added at 07:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

PMSL perfect point really, the only reason i know its there is cos i had to look for it.

Personally for me its strange that such a high end phone has these kind of screen problems, a bit disconcerting...But then again they are not noticable in day to day use.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Neurotica:
That was more so directed to the OP who wanted to see the black spots. If you don't want to see it, just go about enjoying the device. :)

I saw them for the first time after I used my phone in the rain. I thought it was water damage, but then remembered that the screen and the glass were glued(Thank you iFixIT) and that there was no way that there was water in between.

I googled, and found out that nearly everyone with a RAZR had it. I was going to try to return it, but then decided against since the replacement might be defective as well.

I just am happy using my RAZR with whatever spots there are on the screen. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JainB:
Will Try rebooting it in a dark room and will keep you posted...

Anywayz even if i find some spots in those conditions i wouldn't be bothered coz i guess if you look that closely at any phone it would have some or the other minor defect...The important thing is it shouldn't affect you in day to day ops...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nafpez:
Yep, agreed, dont notice it so not bothered about it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Z4nd4r:
It's not a defect; it's just a byproduct of sAMOLED screens. That's like saying an LCD is too bright in low light situations and calling it a defect; it's not defective, it's just how that tech works.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opensourcefan:
I think to solve this issue we need to find an expert that we trust to tell us how these things are made and to explain why such a phenomenon is happening even though I haven't noticed this on mine and I'm NOT going to look for it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spimonkey34:
Mine has no green tint at lowest brightness either. I would consider that, along with the extreme black spots/lines, grounds for replacement. If the spots are only noticeable in the perfect situation and you don't encounter them in normal usage, keep that phone.
