Just to warn anyone who might try to use Mirror 2 on one of sfhub's pages or anyone else that has a mirror with me.

The server was just taken offline for upgrades. Adding some ram etc. It should be back up by 5 to 5:20 AM EST... I hope lol. BriefMobile is back and I made the decision to go ahead and do this right this minute lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Mirror is going to go down Morning July 2nd (EST) and it should be back up in the later after noon.

Sorry for the inconvenience just use alternate mirrors during this outage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I just wanted to publicly thank thedarksavant for his recent Donation.

I am back hosting for PhantomPhreak53 at the moment. I do not have any plans on reviving the server beyond that as I am still proceeding to use the server for its original purpose at the end of the year. But we will see as things go on.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vishalmullur:
So we are all waiting to get bootloader unlocked. I wanted to know few things. First my idea-

we require a key to unlock the bootloader on our milestone, thats what i have heard. So how much characters does the key contain?

If experimenting with different keys doesnt ruin our phone then all the community can try this-

give the set like from 1-10 to one person for one day. if we have around 100 members then at that rate 30000 keys tried and tested in a month. so we may have some chance of getting this unlocked.

pls tell me if anything is possible.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] w4tchout:
Great idea.... but it has been tried before.. It would take years if we'd bruteforce and try to find the key. If you'd use the search function you'd know initiatives like those have been done before without success..
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] megawebmaster:
Yes, as far as we know the key is 2048 bits length, so it has 2^2048 combinations which implies impossibility of doing such a thing without automatization and A LOT of volunteers. We can only beg Motorola to compile bootloader for Milestone without checking for proper signature.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juanono:
ZOMG!!1one11eleven!!! A total noob has invented bruteforcing!!! A bunch of skilled devs have been trying to crack the bootlloader but this guy who has just read what a bootloader is (hopefully) has figured it out!!! (I think I forgot to turn sarcasm on somewhere...)

P.S. sorry for being a ****, but read the frigging forum rules before posing anything

Just wondering if there's any youtube videos on HOW TO UNBRICK LG OPTIMUS V. I'm seeing all these threads on how to do this and that but would be nice to see a video on how to unbrick it.

I have a LG Optimus V and it was rooted and had a rom on it and now it boots up with the virgin mobile splash screen then the little virgin mobile screen then to the silver LG LOGO and goes black. Can someone please direct me to a video or something more user friendly on how to unbrick it..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mastershefis:
It's not so hard to unbrick your phone back if you past first logo..first plug your phone to pc, start cmd (command line) and type adb logcat (of course if you have properly installed Android SDK), after that you should see 'loop' errors..then find on this site KDZ and original firmware downloader..get your original ROM and flash it using KDZ..if u want to root again then use SuperOneClick (only the newest version!)...

Ask when you don't know somethink..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Cruzzer26:
Thanks I'll try that and let you know...

After flashing the MIUI 2.3.16 let it reboots after factory reset,then flash modified blinking mod by manics then reboot device,flash miuifix-->reboot device, flash 2217signed.zip by manics.

These steps solve automatic brightness issue and add an amazing led mod to your Streak;

when you go to trackball settings choose "green" for notifications,choose blue for calls and red for messages then try them ;)

Step 2:

Install wifi tether for android v3.1-pre105.apk,it will solve the wifi tethering issue.And you have a working ROM without any issue!

Done!

Enjoy!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Agent5150:

[Streak 5 Android Development] sinan33:
Of course you can.I have tested all versions of miui roms; the most stable one is this rom with these add ons,everything works perfect,uses less ram,fast and stable.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Kewyang:
OK thanks. I try later
[Streak 5 Android Development] Agent5150:
can't say that led mod works. Don't see any lights on alerts, msg or calls. What is it suppose to do?
[Streak 5 Android Development] sinan33:
Go to trackball settings set notification led color to green,call color to blue,sms color to red and try it,then enjoy.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Agent5150:
Did exactly that...does not work..no lights on any of the actions.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sinan33:
You have to follow these method step by step,not all of them at the same time.I also use it for 2.3.23 and it works perfect.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flashstock:
Since Asus ICS update was a gigantic failure for me (Youtube HD videos broken, reboots, etc) I decided to 'downgrade' back to honeycomb. However that DID NOT fix the rebooting problem. And sometimes it doesn't even reboot, it hangs on the bootscreen and does nothing, and sometimes it bootloops or just doesn't wake up from sleep. Just to note I am using the Revolver ROM for honeycomb (fully updated) AND I did not have these problems with the rom before I tried ICS.

Has anyone had similar issues? If so how did you fix it?

Please, my transformer is becoming more and more useless :(

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axepted:
Hope someone can tell how to update the bootloader. I was going to do the same thing with an tf101 because of all the reboots but if it dont help I rather wait to see how's it going..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flashstock:
The issue is that something goes wrong when the tablet goes in to "deep sleep". This is the same thing that is happening in ICS.

Now, I've found a temporary 'fix' for this issue. The fix is that you don't allow it to go in to deep sleep.

There is a program called WakeLock (It's on google play, my account is not allowed to post links :/) that lets you do just that.. Open up WakeLock and check the PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK radio button and then tap the Aquire/Release Lock checkbox. Now you're set! The tablet should not reboot.

This has worked fine for me as a solution and my tablet has been running all day without problems. There IS a downside though, your tablet WILL consume more battery power since it doesn't go in to deep sleep.

As a countermeasure to that I used setcpu and a screen off profile that downclocks the CPU to around 200-300MHz and after a full day I'm at 50% battery life (13 hrs on battery), not amazing but acceptable (my usage consisted of having wifi on at all times and watching 3 episodes of community and light web browsing).

Hope this helps!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axepted:
The tf101 I want to downgrade don't have that deep sleep issue.. It reboots when it's in use, often repeatedly.. And often stuck on bootanimation (eee pad screen).. So maybe I should try anyway..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
In the stock firmware on the ASUS site or in the OTA updates, there will be a blob file. The bootloader can be extracted from there with the blob tools (search in the dev section).

I'd make a flashable version, but I suspect that you have a WW TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Ok, now this is crazy.... I thought that I was going nuts when after a complete wipe (using SuperWipe script) and re-installation of Honeycomb from scratch, I too still had the reboots!!!

How can that be? The reboots were NOT there before I installed ICS!

Is it possible that Asus updated the firmware in a specific integerated device during the ICS update that is casuing these issues or something? I don't know how else to explain people having the same issues even after reverting back to Honeycomb!

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I do remember hearing that the bootloader was updated with ICS - would that normally get reverted back to the "old" bootloader when doing a full wipe with SuperWipe script and re-installing Revolver (Honeycomb verison) from scratch?

Hmm, maybe the best thing to try would be to try the old bootloader with new ICS? Maybe that will stop the random reboots with ICS too!

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
No, most roms don't touch the bootloader. The stock roms and the OTAs will flash it. Although I'm not sure how much it could do once the rom was booted. I've noticed a few bad flashes lately, but they are usually resovled by flashing again with a full charge, overnight, plugged into the wall, not the USB port. Give that a try first.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axepted:
The one I'm going to downgrade is a US version... So if that helps, make a flashable version :thumbup:

If there is anyway someone could package the old Honeycomb bootloader, i'd be willing to try it! I have been unable to find a way to get back to stock Honeycomb (in order to re-write the bootloader). I'm assuming that I'd need an NVFLASH version of stock honeycomb firmware to get there from here?

thanks for any help offered!

Two days ago I disabled the apps "Android keyboard" and "polaris" . Since I use Swype on the tablet and quick office, figured it couldn't hurt to try. Usually I'd been waking up to a frozen tablet or stuck on reboot screen. Two days now no freezes. Not sure if it has rebooted while asleep, but I use it every night for several hours, and since I did that I've had no problems. Maybe just lucky two days. Someone may want to investigate that further. Wifi is set to turn off when screen does. Hope this helps someone.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neffarious:
i have a us transformer with the exact same problems. I went from Revolver HC to revolver ICS back to Revolver HC and the ICS reboot issue is persisting. I thought it was just me, glad to see (for my sanity's sake, not your torture) that it's not just me. I know on my old Captivate, if you used a GB bootloader with certain Froyo ROMs there was bad effects. It is possible it plays into it somehow. I never flashed an official ICS update, but since the customs are based off of ICS official it is possible something was changed. I have tried different Kernels, different Daemon settings etc, and the longest i could go was 2 days with no reboot. Mine does the same thing tho - sometimes it reboots. other times it just hangs on the ASUS screen until it kills the battery. It doesn't do it while plugged in. I have super wiped, re-flashed, restored old nandroid backs ups, you name it i have tried. Any help here is much appreciated as i have started using my kindle Fire as my primary tablet because i am becoming so frustrated with the TF. It has rebooted once while in use while playing a game. The rest is while off. Once li clicked the screen off to put it down to get a drink and it rebooted. Its quite maddening at this point,

I was eventually able to downgrade my bootloader to the version that came with 8.6.5.6 (its the version I had laying around). So, I am now running the 8.6.5.6 bootloader with Revolver ICS - we'll see what happens.

First night was encouraging - over 5 hours of deep sleep last night an no issues... I'll keep an eye on it and report back.

It just makes NO sense how the reboot problem is now present even on Honeycomb, where is wasn't as issue beofore!

I now wondering if ICS either updated some firmware on some device in the TF (wifi chip, bluetooth chip, etc) or that the bootloader might be the difference....

So I now have a Honeycomb bootloader (verify bootloader version by looking at text on sceen after holding vol down + power) and ICS OS. Time will tell....

Can anyone else explain how the reboot problem could cause the issues on honeycomb as well???

Thanks!

Give us an update on this later :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
FYI - Still going strong with ICS (Revolver) running old Honeycomb bootloader (8.6.5.6).... I don't know, but I have a good feeling about this (of course, I've had that "good feeling" about 20 times now without any success)!

I'll keep you posted!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axepted:
Nice! How long have you been running it now?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalvinH:
Good luck, but keep on watching. I have seen my stock ICS TF go perfect for five days and then start rebooting again :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
My current uptime is only about 21 hours, because I manually rebooted to solve a "no deep-sleep" problem at one point (which is still working fine now though). I had about 6 hours uptime before than manual reboot. But, more important than the uptime, 10.5 hours of my current uptime is deep-sleep time (plus 5 hours of deep sleep before the manual reboot).

Just to make it easy, I'm 'officially' going to go by the current uptime/deep-sleep time, which is approx: 21 hours uptime, 10.5 hours deep sleep.

I'd say that's probably the second longest I've went. I've never made 2 days.

What is encouraging to me is that this solution at least somewhat makes sense. Being that we now know that the reboot/SOD issues persist, even after restoring to Honeycomb, which I experienced myself restoring to Revolver 3, that tells me that it's NOT the ICS code (at least, not it alone), but something else that ICS touched and changed.

Well, we also know that ICS upgraded the bootloader, which, when restoring to a custom Honeycomb ROM, like I did, does NOT get "downgraded"...

So, I think that downgrading the bootloader is at least a possible solution, since it's something that ICS changed (and could possibly effect honeycomb too), besides the ICS code itself.

So far, results are promising! Still have a while to go before I can claim any success though.... Time will tell...

With my luck, Asus will release a real fix before I ever find out!!! :-) Then again, I think I'd stay the course until/if I had issues!

Reboots solved with the 9.2.2.3 kernel

Hi all,

I'v good experiences with the 9.2.2.3 kernel as used by:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1565519

The 3G problems are solved also, but Wifi fails with this kernel.

Still waiting for the official Asus 9.2.2.3 (or higher) expected on April 6.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
WooHoo!

First "milestone" (in my mind, anyway): over 24 hours uptime and over 12 hours deep-sleep time with ZERO issues since downgrading the bootloader and re-installing Revolver 4 (ICS)! I believe that this is the second longest uptime for me under ICS (only longer uptime was when I first tried removing the MicroSD card, but I did eventually get a reboot without the MicroSD card as well - others have fared better though).

I'll consider 36 hours uptime milstone #2, and 48 hours milestone #3.

72 hours = SUCCESS (again, in my mind as I've NEVER been able to get anywhere near 3 days uptime with ICS).

Anyone else willing to give it a shot? It's a PIA to be honest, but if it stops the reboots, it'll be well worth it!

Actually, I shouldn't say "ZERO" issues - there is one small side effect from the bootloader downgrade, for whatever reason - now, when I connect AC Power to the dock (with TF in the dock, opened and on), the tablet "freezes" for about 4 or 5 seconds before displaying the battery icon and continuing... A small price to pay for stability though!

Again, I know this is all a little preliminary, but like I said, it's the 2nd longest uptime I've ever had, and it kinda makes sense, since reverting to honeycomb has the same reboot issues after upgrading to ICS, so I'm staying positive! :-)

Cross your fingers!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Now at 33 hours uptime, 18 hours deep-sleep time. I'm secretly convinced that the bootloader downgrade did the trick! Will keep reporting back.

Anyone else try on old bootloader with ICS yet??

Think about it - it could also explain why some people see the problem and some people don't. If you EVER installed the STOCK ICS from Asus, then it installs the new bootloader. It you never installed stock ICS from Asus, then you probably never had the bootloader upgraded, since it's my understanding that custom ROMs usually don't touch the bootloader.

Also explains why the problem remains after reverting to Honeycomb (a CUSTOM honeycomb, in my case, which wouldn't have downgraded the bootloader if it was ever upgraded..

At least that all sounds good in theory! :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
So perhaps we should cook up the ICS rom with a HC bootloader... the best of both worlds.

Keep us posted on the milestones- I have rooted ICS roms ready to go,just have to find the right bootloaders.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
That would be great if we could get a ROM cooked up like that. Personally, I don't yet know how to extract the bootloader and insert into an ICS ROM.

Here is how I accomplished this:

From CWM, I flashed an old version of Honeycomb (8.6.5.6 is the latest version I had since I accidentally formatted my SD card recently, which contained all of my ROMs AND my backup files )....

I then rooted it, installed CWM and flashed Revolver 4 ICS, which left me with 8.6.5.6 bootloader and ICS.

By the way, you can verify bootloader version by holding [Vol-] & [Power] for 10 seconds - it'll be displayed on the screen during the 5 second pause...

My next test (assuming this one is successful) would be to get the very last version of the bootloader before ICS. Not sure what version that is off hand,, but I'm pretty sure 8.6.5.6 is older.

Oh, by the way, milestone #2 now met - 36 hours uptime, 20.5 hours deep-sleep time and no issues! I believe this is now the longest uptime I've ever had with ICS...

EDIT: FYI - I've posted in the Revolver 4 thread, asking if @gnufabio can build anew test release that contains the old bootloader. We'll see what he says....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
I have a rooted stock rom that I'm testing right now. I didn't get too many reboots with ICS, so I'm not a good one to test. I did want to make sure it wouldn't bootloop- it boots just fine.

I have the US 86521 bootloader, but not the WW version. I'll have to hunt around later for it later on.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axepted:
I have a tf101 here with BIG reboot problem. I could've tested it, but I don't have a HC ROM (from before the ICS update) and bootloader.
