[General Questions and Answers] Biker1:
I was just talking to a friend with his Nexus Galaxy the other day. He saw my phone, SET4G the SET4G, and said he wished he had Gorilla Glass, as he had gotten a scratch, and put a screen protector on his.

Mine didn't have any scratches......... at the time, and I said, watch, I'll get a scratch now.

I got a long scratch, very light, that I noticed the other day. Plus some tiny scratches.

I don't play in the Sandbox, so I have no idea how they got there.

May have been there before, but I didn't notice. But maybe not, as I notice everything :D

They are very unnoticeable, but I ordered a Steinheil Crystal screen protector to slap on it.

2 to a pack for $13.99 cause I usually screw up the first install :(

I've read that Corning is coming out with another type of glass to supercede Gorilla Glass. I believe it's called Lotus Glass it may be available already, and may be installed on some upcoming smartphones, so I've read) and Japan already has a scratch resistant glass, I believe called Ashai? Glass.

I think Gorilla Glass has a Hardness of 7 on the Mohs Hardness scale.

The problem is that Quartz also has a Hardness of 7,which can be found in sand, as well as dust particles.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenixv5:
I have an eeePad TF101 (no G) and its serial number starts with B80, so I guess that makes it an SBKv2. My questions are whether the following are possible and what some terms mean.

1) What does SBKv2 mean? Why is nvflash incompatible with it?

2) What is the homepage of nvflash? Is there any other flasher that is compatible with SBKv2?

3) Is it possible to install any custom rom?

4) I read it's possible to run Ubuntu with chroot after rooting. Will that make it slower? Is it possible to get a full linux bash terminal with the option to install stuff?

5) Will rooting give me complete system access? (I once had a Galaxy gt-i5510 which gave me 'permission denied' error even after rooting, for stuff like copying files to system folders running apps etc).

6) Is it possible to use a USB modem (ZTE MG478/AC8700, EvDO) using:

a) wvdial from chrooted linux and then use from android (I know it's crazy).

b) wvdial directly.

c) Any other method.

7) Will rooting cause any problems or 'side effects'?

Sorry if I asked questions that were already asked.

Uh...this is way too many questions to answer when all of the answers can be found by searching. This is your first lesson..you need to search. These are all common questions.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LegibleEel:
Ok i've only recently got a transformer but ill try answer these questions...If i've got something wrong feel free to correct me.

1) SBKv2 is the newer model of the transformer, Nflash isn't compatible because it runs on a newer bootloader.

2) I'm not sure...

3) Yes.

4) Yes you can run linux ubuntu, but only for the older model :/

5) Yes it will.

6) I'm not entirely sure, You'll have to wait for someone else to answer this :D

7) Probably not :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
1. the guy above is not quite right it is that the sbk (secure book key) is diferent and was leaked for the original rom but not the 2nd version

2. wait what? use cwm

3. yes

4. it runs a virtual immage vnc'd within android so ya it is slower

5. as long as you make the system r/w instead of r/o

6. maby try the usbethernet drivers

7. it will casue ota's to fail and you will not be able to purchase movies from the market

Every piece of information here is already here learn to search
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenixv5:
2) So custom roms work, dual booting doesn't?

4) But I will still get a full linux bash terminal with the option to install apps and all right?

5) How do you get r/w access? Is that the default mode in nachoroot?

6) Usb modem not ethernet!

7) Movies? What about everything else? OTA? That will be resolved if I use OTA Rootkeeper right? What about the updates from asus website?

I kinda did search. But I guess I'll search more next time....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
the only way to dual boot is nvflash ubuntu/andorid and that requires nvvflash so no you cannot dualboot

you should but be wary as it is ubuntu arm and not all apps are compatable

it is in the file manager you use ubt in consol you will have system access and if in root explorer you click read/write

i know you said usb. it may work by default not garenteed .you can increace the likleyhood of it working with the 3g dongle drivers and the usb internet drivers (Usb etherent)

it depends if you have a custom recovery installed (CWM) if you do not get cwm you need otarootkeeper and ota's will work if you do install cwm then you will not get the ota's installed
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenixv5:
Won't the installer (apt or synaptic) auto detect arm like it did in N900 and all?

What's ubt? Do you mean manually add r/w permission to all files?

What about update files downloaded directly from asus website? Will I still get market?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
i am not sure probably though

its a mistype i ment "but"

no in root explorer there is a buton at the top to change mount type it says "mounted as r/0" by default and there is a buton beside it to "Mount R/W"

they may work as they are the same files as the OTA's so it is the same case as the ota's.

Yes the market does not change besides the inability to purchase videos
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenixv5:
So lemme summarize.

Nvflash doesn't work, CWM recovery does, so flashes using that also works.

OTA updates or (maybe) the ones downloaded won't work. But OTA's can be modified into ones that are recognized by cwm and retains root (with supercurio's script?).

Rooting without installing cwm doesn't interfere with OTAs.

Use OTA Rootkeeper to retain root after updates (not needed with cwm as cwm flashable stock upgrades are already rooted).

And root+cwm is undo-able.

Did I get all that right?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ][nferno:
I have to bump this thread to get some help with the same problem on my wife's Kindle Fire. She was given this device just yesterday by an older couple who's son had rooted it for them however he was unable to get the Google apps to work. This KF is able to browse the internet without any trouble, however I cannot connect to any Google service because it won't let me access an existing account or create a new one.

The real difference here is that I'm not the one that rooted the device and I don't know how to do any of it. I've been searching the forum looking for a thread like this hoping for help. So I don't have any of the programs on my PC to make any changes. I've looked at the threads explaining how to root, but I don't think they really apply to my situation of simply trying to make Google work.

Any help would be great :)

Hi Folks,

I use last offical stock JVU rom(2.3.6 Gingerbread)

I have a problem with automatic screen rotation. I did everything I read in topics - factory reset, reinstall, tried different kernels and rоms, but nothing helps.

When i go to Settings/display/Horizontal calibration , the blue circle is at the top of the screen.

I put the phone on a flat surface and I made a calibration with "calibrate" button.

After this procedure, the blue circle goes in the middle of the screen and Autorotation works, but only to the lock of the screen.

It's necessary to do this every time after each lock of the screen.

Please Help me to solve this problem.

I have changed the build.prop of my rooted TF201 to play the gameloft games.

After changing the TF201 got stuck in a bootloop. I tried the hard reset but it is still not starting.

I read that it is possible to push the orginal build.prop to the TF201 via APX-Mode but i dont now how to do it.

My computer recognizes the TF201 as a Asus Transformer Prime APX mode or in MTP when i start it regular. Unfortunatly i can not get any access to the Data of my TF201.

Is Asus able to see the root and that i changed the build.prop if i sent it to RMA?

Would be so happy if anybody could help me.

Thank you.

(And i know it was stupid to change the build.prop but didnt expected to brick it http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stf996:
Hi there.

I had a week of the same problem. I hadn't deleted anything but mine was in the boot loop too. After trying everything I managed to reinstall the OS by:

1. Downloading firmware from Asus site (it must be same or later version as installed already and must be the one for your region - if you don't know your current version, the small text described in step 4 below will tell you and step 4 can be done multiple times)

2. Freshly formatting a micro SD card with FAT

3. Placing the ZIP file (the zip inside the zip that Asus provide) in the root of SD CARD

4. Restarting the tablet by holding power and volume down until small text appears at top of screen at which point press volume up

Your tablet will boot from the SD card and reinstall your OS.

ALL DATA WILL BE LOST but you'll have a working tablet.

Cheers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clmz88:
Thank you for answering!

Unfortunatly did not work for me.

The androidfigure showed up with a red triangle on it and after a minute it restarted into the bootloop.

Any other ideas?

Can't you push the original build.prop via ADB Shell when it's almost booted up?

adb mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
adb push c:\...\build.prop /system/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clmz88:
I tried it and got the message "can not find device" although my systems shows Android MTP Device in the device manager...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Turge:
Mine shows up, but only when "Camera (PTP)" is selected instead of "Media device (MTP)" in the "Settings >> Storage >> USB computer connection" section.

But of course, that won't help you in this case since you can't change this setting.

I can't find anything about having to switch to PTP for ADB to work so you may want to post a question about it in the Q&A forum.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
A guy had the exact same problem here last week after changing the build.prop for the exact same reason. He was able to recover his problem using the same method that the root scripts use for writing to data. Let me try and find the thread and you can try to contact him.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
I've sent him a PM for you asking for his solution. I've linked him to this thread.

What software version are you on? .11 .13 or something else.

EDIT:

Do you know how to use ADB?

Does ADB see your device?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clmz88:
I actually dont know what version is on my Prime. I did the official update two weeks ago. So it is probably V9.4.2.11.

I have a app called "adb made easy" on my pc and this on can not find my device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Does your device constantly reboot or does it stay at the boot animation?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clmz88:
It stays constantly in the boot animation. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
and adb made easy doesn't have your device listed?

What if you "open CMD for ADB commands" and then in that window type "adb devices" without the quotation marks?

Also what does windows device manager show with regards to android devices?

EDIT: unplug and plug back in a couple of times, does windows make it's usual connection noises?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clmz88:
adb made easy and cmd dont show any adb devices.

the devices manager shows

mobile devices: Asus Android MTB Device (could not be started)

windows is always making the pluggingsound
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Wierd, ADB should still see the device as it seemed to when the other guy screwed his build.prop

If I reboot, ADB picks up the device during the boot animation and lets me start interacting straight away.

EDIT: Unfortunately, without ADB, I'm not gonna be able to help any further. Hopefully the guy how recovered his from this state will pop in and be able to help you out.

When and where did you get the device from. If you're still in your return window and feel like being dishonest, then you could take it back to the shop and ask for a replacement. However, if it has to go back to ASUS, I'm fairly certain that they would pick this up straight away, I could be wrong though. They may just look at it see it doesn't boot, reflash it and then test it and send it back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Turge:
Is yours setup for PTP or MTP?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clmz88:
I think it is setup for MTP but im not sure about it...

I didnt find a way yet to get access to the prime via usb.

Already tried different drivers, adb, apx but nothing is working.:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
I just checked, and for some reason my PM sent box does not show the message that I sent to the guy who broke his in the same way. Let me try again, may have been because I had 4 xda windows open at once. :D

EDIT: It seems after his initial posts here, he may not have been back as he only has 5 posts total. That may also be why the PM didn't work.

Hopefully someone clever will come along and be able to help you. One thing I will say is that ADB seems to work better and sooner in the boot process from Mac and Linux machines. You may want to look into a live CD that includes ADB, don't know if there is one?

That's about all I can think of really, can't help any further, unless you get ADB working. Maybe look into some IRC channels, there are lots of clever folks hanging out there.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Brollie:
I have the same problem.

When I start my device up with volume + hold and power button.

It shows my device as APX, If I had a driver for this that would be awesome.

This is the way developers can connect to the device, even if there is no OS on it.

Also used with the TF 101 for custom roms.

Now I know that is not possible. But if I could connect to my Prime in that mode. I could use adb to push the good file back.

The mode should also be used for developer to test their applications?

Is anyone knows more...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
You sure you cant use the normal recovery?

Downloaded the zip file from Asus

Extract the zip you download to the root of a MicroSD card (yes there is a zip inside the zip you download)

Power + Vol Down then press Vol up to enter the recovery flash mode.

It should pickup the zip on the memory stick and reflash.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NastroGlide:
I am in the same boat, by my own mistake and sloppy finger swyping! I may have tried this method incorrectly though. Do you copy the original zip file to the root of the microsd or do you unzip the first zip file and put the 2nd zip file on the root of the microsd? This sounds ridiculous, lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Turge:
The zip inside the downloaded zip needs to be placed in the root of the SD card. If your tablet is the WW edition, the filename needs to start with WW.

For example, The zip inside the 9.4.2.13 US update is called US_epad-user-9.4.2.13.zip so the filename is already correct...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NastroGlide:
ok, thanks. I will try again when I get home. Before, I was going to recovery (I think) and it would have Andy standing up then on his back with his chest door open and a red !...Figured this was a bad sign. I really hope I can fix it, waited so long for this damn thing gsklngsgdssdsdn (avoiding rant).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Brollie:
That method of putting the firmware on the SD realy doesn't work. I've tried it over and over again.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clmz88:
I have tried the same. Replaced the TF201 build.prop by a Xoom build.prop
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
I actually just edited some of the ro.build lines to match some of the same lines on the xoom buildprop but didnt mess with anything on the bottom after fingerprint. Some of those are system settings so not a good idea for me to mess with. If you replaced the entire buildprop file then it makes sense why you ran into an issue. Anyhow ive only got as far as market seeing my device as "motorola transformer prime" lol but still no go on gameloft games showing up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nilesf:
build.prop brick fix!

This was too simple. Simply download the 9.4.2.21 firmware, unzip and then rename it to EP201_SDUPDATE.zip. Copy it to the root of your SD card and PWR + Volume Down, then Volume Up.

This will wipe everything to defsult included user data and all, but it works.
