[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] myer7025:
Quick question. Im having a hard time installing the drivers. I followed the video by ViperBoy and read the instructions under. The ASUS....ADB Interface doesnt have the (!) mark.

I updated my firmware today. Does that prevent me from rooting?

*

I researched and found that it does prevent me from rooting. Thanks for the help guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] kyaj9:
Here's what's happenning.

- Device was rooted using HTC unlock method with HB00t 1.5

- Was running Synergy Rom

- Wanted to get latest OTA from Sprint so I followed the steps from another thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447839&page=2- Went through steps and unlocked my device again

Used file from post #16

- Did my updates, unlocked device, booted back into HBoot

- Decided I would try the Infected Eternity Rom this time so I followed those steps as stated in their thread. Did a clean flash. Flashed Superwipe, flashed data ext optimizer tool, flashed eternity rom w/ 3.5 sense

- after message said installation was complete, i got error message when i went back to main menu in recovery:

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/lastçlog

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

- device wouldn't boot once I rebooted from CWM. It would hang a the HTC white screen, then reboot again, keeps repeatedly doing this.

- Then I rebooted back in HBoot by pressing Vol Down and Power buttons. Went to recovery, flashed Synergy rom. Install was fine, still can't boot up device. Having the same issue. Device would hang at HTC white screen and continue to cycle on and off trying to reboot.

- Rebooted back to HBoot by pressing Vol Down and Power buttons. Went into recovery with CWM, restored my back up. Everything went fine except I got message:

sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restore /sd-ext.

As of right now, I can still boot into HBoot. I've tried reflashing Synergy rom again, but still nothing.

From my search, it says that based on my error message:

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/lastçlog

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

It could be a HW or SW issue.

Phone is still under HTC warranty, if I need to return it, what do you say to support department?

Thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] DJ1994:
Have you tried flashing through fast boot through a usb connection? I know the h boot 1.5 are tough to do when you need to change kernals which is what happens when you got to a 3.5 Rom. I had some trouble too if you open recovery through fast boot and do everything that way all should be good.

Edit: as long as you can get into recovery I think you'll be okay.
[HTC EVO 3D] kyaj9:
I can definitely still get into recovery and HBoot. So I would assume those are good things.

Read another thread suggesting to use TWRP instead of CWM.

Will try both flashing with fastboot from usb and twrp and see if that helps.....

If anyone else have other suggestions,

Unlocking via htc will require you to follow the following. The kernel can't be written unless you follow the directions below which can cause the issue you stated.

[HTC EVO 3D] DJ1994:
Just let us know what happens it is most likely just a kernal problem. Look up how to do the fast boot to make sure it works right. Fingers crossed.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I had an error like that once before. I believe I had to format my sd card. I also formatted my sd-ext partition. Hopefully you have a backup of your sd card so you can try doing that. Of course you'd need to take your sd card out, and use a card reader to format it using your computer.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
That's not a brick a brick is where you can't even get into hboot tho if your slick enough you could still fix a bricked phone lol
[HTC EVO 3D] kyaj9:
Actually, the reason for wanting to switch over to a different ROM was because with the Synergy rom, I was getting random reboots. Sometimes as much as 3 times a day. Other times, once or twice a week only. It seemed to be an issue that was never really addressed as it's still being asked in their thread now a days. So wanted to see if the Eternity Rom was more stable.

Back to the OP, just wanted to be clear that when I refer to rebooting back into recovery, I am not simply booting into HBoot and then selecting the "recovery" option on the menu. I am aware that I cannot use this method as I have Hboot 1.5. I am using a CMD window to fastboot the recovery program (either TWRP and CWM).

In my cmd window, I change into the propper directory with all my files. Then use commands:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot recovery.img (used: fastboot flash recovery "FILE" to flash onto device)

And then I flash the zip files from there on.

In any matter, was able to get Synergy up and running again. For some reason, I couldn't get it working with CWM but was able to do so with TWRP.

Still getting the occasional random reboot. Have had it up and running for a day now and already one random reboot just a couple hours ago.

Still can't get Eternity w/3.5 Sense running though. So I have a quick question in regards to that. In following the steps on their thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1277431

step 5 indicates that I need to copy over the boot.img file once I extract the rom.zip file to the same folder I used to unlock. However, I found two boot.img files under the Kernel folder. Which one do I use? Actually tried both and both gave me the same results (hangs at the HTC white screen and cycles on/off).

Note: the boot.img were found under sub folders "Shooter" and "Shooteru" in the kernel folder.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
gotcha. and is it eternity 3.0?

I have been running 1.4.2 with absolutely no issues now for 4 weeks. running Chad's RLS09 kernel that was pulled at the beginning of this month
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
you should give that set up a shot man. most reliable rom in my opinion.
[HTC EVO 3D] kyaj9:
The only back ups I have when I first rooted the device.

As long as formatting the SD card doesn't mean I am losing anything vital to the operation of the device, I would have no issues with having to put everything back on manually.
[HTC EVO 3D] kyaj9:
No it's the 3.5. I wanted to try the one with Sense 3.5.

For the good news!!! Finally got it to work. Backing up my apps with Ti Back up as I am writing this.

The only difference I did this time around was that after flashing Superwipe, I DID NOT flash the optimizer tool.

In all my other attempts, whether with TWRP or CWM, I was also flashing the optimizer after flashing Superwipe. Don't know if that was the actual cause or not with the install, but that was the ONLY step I did not do this time around.

From what I read, the optimizer is suppose to make the rom run faster because of the ext 4 partition. So my question now that I have up and running is will NOT having it flashed have any significant results?

On another thought, I did flash the optimzer as needed when I re-flashed Synergy. Does this carry over to the new rom or was I suppose to do again also for Eternity?

In any matter, thank you to all who helped. I will run Eternity for a week or so and see how stable it is first before trying anything else.

EDITED NOTE: Perhaps it should also be noted that I did download the latest build of Eternity also beforing getting it flashed and finally getting it running. Build 180. The file I couldn't get running was build 155.
[HTC EVO 3D] kyaj9:
OK...less than an hour into the rom and already experiencing some issues. It could be my flashing...but anyways.

When I try to run apps that require SU, it's saying that I the device is not rooted.

Could this simply be a case of a bad flash or am I missing something? Again, this is only apps that generally, would ask for super user permission. All other apps (games, etc) works fine.

Also, I do have the SU app updated to the latest version and it's visible in the APPS drawer.

To be specific, when I run the Adfree Android app, I get: "Fatal Error: Unable to get root"

Also, when I run MSL Reader, I get error: Couldn't find the superuser binary in any known path. Are you sure you are rooted?
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
k I'm gonna help you out a little bit here...

re-download rom.

before you flash, wipe data twice, and cache twice.

under recovery settings, format system.

flash superwipe.

flash rom.

don't use titanium backup.

don't use ext4 data optimization tool.

you still have problems after that, then use a different rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
and if you get the SU error, reboot to recovery and under advanced options or whatever, select "fix permissions"

It seems like you have a partitition issue on your internal or external memory in your case i think your internal memory is having trouble try black rose and associated partition tool to fix your partition schema
[HTC EVO 3D] kyaj9:
Making sure I wiped out everything was the first priority I took. I did re-download the rom just to be sure it was a good download also.

Can't seem to get 3.5 version working propperly, but I did get 3.0 version up and running. Have had it for a couple days now with no issues so just gonna stick with that. Wanted to try out the sense 3.5 first, but the fact that there's no 4g support for it yet means I am probably better off with just using the 3.0 Sense.

Thanks for your help....

Not familar with Black Rose....but if I am not mistaken, isn't that just a HBoot for the Nexus 1?
[HTC EVO 3D] mahmutmuratdemir:
yes it is made for nexus one to flash higher andrid versions but i think it can be used in some other models for partitioning internal memory

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incabrain:
Hey folks, I accidentally left my Captivate in a pocket and it went through a dryer cycle. It boots just fine and the audio works. However, the screen is blue with some lighter blue horizontal lines (effectively it just looks blue). I'm able to navigate by memory through the UI. So it seems it's just a video problem.

I tried a hairdryer for a few minutes on an open back.

I left it open, battery out, sim, sd out for about 2 hours.

Any ideas on ways to attempt to fix it?

thanks in advance!

As an aside, i was just about to install ICSSGS 3.1! :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGT_Watkins:
May sound odd but when you boot it up is there any parts where it's a pure color instead of the tinted blue? If so you might want to try a new ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
My guess is that the screen is toast from the heat of the dryer. Did it go through the washer first?

Most likely you will be needing to swap the screen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incabrain:
thankfully, no. Everything I've read so far makes it sound like the liquid crystal is shot.

Any idea whether this is cost effective? If so, any trustworthy places people have used? A little google time left me feeling uncertain about the places selling replacements, and even more problematic, I'm not sure I know what, exactly, needs replacing.

If I don't do the work myself, the cost seems to be about the same as getting a used cappy. Any thoughts out there?

thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
I cracked my screen 3 days after getting it. It was about $90 to buy a replacement screen on ebay. I ended up just signing up for ATT insurance and getting it replaced for the $125 deductible. That doesn't sound like an option for you unless you already have the insurance.

I've been told doing the swap isn't that bad. However, you could end up back in the same situation if you mess it up.

You could buy the used cappy and possibly inherit some new problems.

You could get it repaired if everything else with your phone checks out. This may be a good idea if you haven't had any sleep deaths or your GPS works well. The downside is that heat could cause the phone to fail sooner in the future.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
I think it is due to the construction type of the screen. Since it is all one piece, you can't just replace the glass or the digitizer. It's an all or nothing which drives the price up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
There is a difference between the screen and digitizer. Screens go for the $90-$150 cost (more or less) digitizers cost usually $20. Mobiletechvideos.com charge $150 for new screen and digitizer and the actual work to do it. Kinda expensive IMO, but each their own. I can probably get a new phone for $150 where I live.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incabrain:
Not really, but I do notice when I bring it out of sleep there are some vertical lines that pop in and I can see shadowy bits of the UI. I keep hoping if I let it sit, plugged in...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incabrain:
These are the two same thoughts I keep having... seems like going the cheap route is pretty risky. I have an upgrade eligibility coming in April. I just hate signing a 2-year agreement with AT&T right now. Service at my house isn't great and I'm already paying for the microcell.

All in all I've been very pleased with the captivate. I've been upgrading ROM's quite a bit, and found the device to be pretty reliable. So sad to see it in this condition... ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 24fan4life:
You're paying for the microcell still? When I asked about it, they told me if I were to get it thru them at the discount price, that I only had to pay the extra cost one month, discontinue the extra cost on my account, and the microcell stays active. I believe the extra cost was unlimited minutes at the time I asked. Could be different now though I guess.

Sorry to hear about your screen, but all I have seen is what mobiletechvideos offers. I was looking for a friend, because her screen cracked up by the speaker. It doesn't affect anything, she just dislikes having a cracked screen.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Antrax:
Today my 2 years old kicked my Foyer to the ground and the touch screen got busted, it cracked pretty bad. It was my right hand, I used for so many things. I used to work, for entertainment, it was a really useful tool. Now I can't see my life without a tablet. I tried to use my HP Slate 500 but it's just too slow to be useful.

Now I need two things. One to recover all the data that I have in the Foyer and the second is to find a replacement.

How can I transfer the data from the tablet to my PC with a busted touch screen? I can't even disable the ring lock. Tried to connect it to my PC but it didn't work at all. Can someone tell me how to make the transfer?

My other question will be, do I try to buy another Flyer on the net, they are discontinued at BestBuy? Should I get a Evo View? Or there is something better? By the way, the stylus is a must for my tablet. If you were in my position, what would you do, which tablet would you buy?

I'm using my wife's Kindle Fire, it's nice but I found it a little restricted.

If someone can help me out please let me know.

Thanks

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vj092887:
Sorry to hear bout ur Flyer bruh. My flyer screen cracked on me a couple weeks ago also. I had a warranty with squaretrade but they couldn't fix it so they ended up giving me a reimbursement of the original price of my flyer when it bought it the day it came outwhich was $499.00. I was thinking of getting a different tablet but loved my flyer to much to switch. So i ended up buying a brand new EVO View off ebay for $289. 00 and pocketed the rest of my money. It was a win win situation. So if would suggest u get a EVO View for cheap off ebay and if u don't have a warranty i would recommend getting a squaretrade warranty.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ishman:
You could go with the other option and replace the screen. I replaced my LCD screen on my HTC View (Samething as flyer). It is not a simple job but can get you up and running like new. It is a pain like the new iphone screens. Have to take everything out to get to it. I would recommend getting the LCD ($110) and Touchscreen ($50). These can be difficult to separate but can be done if you take your time and save the $50.00.

I have another one am replacing for someone and will try and post pictures during the process. screen should arrive early next week.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MrS600L:
May your Flyer rest in peace.

I'd suggest looking online in other countries. South Africa has stock at Dion Wired, Vodacom, & I think Makro. I'm sure if you searched their websites you could purchase one online & get it couriered.

Otherwise try the Jetstream. It's pretty decent
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Antrax:
I solved the the broken Flyer problem, Sprint have the Evo View for $150. So I'm getting a new View. Now the problem will be how to transfer the data. I can't get the touch screen to work. I can't unlock it. If I connect it to my PC it's there any way to retrieve the data without using the Flyer touch screen. The screen is completely clear, I can see all the menus but can't use anything because the touch screen don't register the input.

Will try the links that are mentioned.

Thanks

So, I ordered the SGP Ultra Olephobic and it was my first screen protector install ever. I put it on and I messed up...the first time. So I threw away that one and got a new one right? I tried putting that one on more carefully, but alas it didn't work. Then a friend told me that I should try a wet install of them. I tried it out an voila wet install sticks great with the same properties as the dry install, except MUCH MUCH easier.
