[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
I have an sbkv2 :(

I would have to go home now to see if it's recognised in ADB.. these computers are locked from installing extraneous programs.

I don't have internet at home, so if I will need anything to attempt to recover I need to be instructed to download it while I'm here.

ARGH, did I really mess this up badly?

EDIT: All my work (my v. important content) is saved to MicroSD, but I can't access that here as my reader (an mp3 player) is at home.

PS: There was also an ICS firmware update I couldn't postpone any longer. Not sure if this contributed to the problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
Right now I'd like to know if wipe data will hurt my chances of ever saving this.

Even after trying to educate myself, I don't really know enough to take the uninformed risk.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
No data wipe will not do anything it is your kernel that is causing it not to boot

You need to somehow write over the kernel to put a working one back in.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
That makes sense. I just tried and it's loop-booting that first screen.

If I leave the city now and go home to try to fix this with ADB, do you have any idea what steps I'd need to follow. Can I simply push another kernel with ADB?

ARGH! This thing just keeps rebooting. I put it in APX mode just so it would switch off!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
I have no idea if this will work or not but you could try manually running an int script extract a kernel zip then run something like this in adb

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
delete_recursive("/system/lib/modules");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
package_extract_file("kern.blob", "/tmp/kern.blob");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/tmp/kern.blob", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4");
delete("/tmp/kern.blob");

this is just a CWM install script so i may be completely off here and obveusly you would have to change the paths of the kern.blob and the /system folder
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
I never installed busybox and I had XM rogue recovery instead of CWM.

I take it there's no way to put a working ROM on /internal storage/ and have the TF101 automatically read it at boot?

I always thought that I'd be able to get back into recovery, I thought ROOTING was the risky part :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
busybox is installed when you root and roug recovery is a modified CWM
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Eek. Kernel wise, or any download for that matter, always try to get stuff off xda.

You could try adb pushing a loopmounted ubuntu image and sh file to a folder in internal, then adb shell - su to get # sign, then sh ubuntu.sh then run linux commands from there to reflash a kernal/recovery. I'm not sure though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairbly:
Did you install clockworkmod recovery, and do you have any other kernel zips on the internal memory?

If so just boot into recovery by holding volume down and power until the device turns on and you see some text at the top of the screen with the asus logo, then press the volume uo key. If you don't see the text just hold the power button until the device shuts down and try again I find the volume keys are very finicky.

Once you have booted the recovery you can just flash a kernel, also if you dont have another kernel but have a rom zip try flashing that as some of those include a kernel.

If you don't have any files to flash you won't be able to do anything until you get home since clockworkmod recovery can only read from the internal storage. But you should be able to boot recovery and use the command "adb push nameofkernelfile /sdcard" and then flash the kernel as usual.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
I have a few zips to flash which I an sure work work (Revolution, Revolver, and Ubuntu).

The problem is that I can't get into Rogue XM (aka Clockwork) Recovery,

When I press the vol up button after seeing text in the top left, I get stuck in a boot loop. When I press vol down and either wipe data or coldboot, I get stuck in a bootloop.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
Yeah I'm an idiot. I only did this crap because it was recommended by some xda thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairbly:
What happens when you try to boot into recovery?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
Please see my last post, edited for clarity.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
When I try to put the device into APX mode, I have 1 unknown devices under device manager, and one APX..

Drivers appear to be missing for both

I can't seem to access any of the files.

I've used ADB to copy a short script once, but I don't really have any idea what I'm doing. I don't understand the filetree system and the commands
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairbly:
You can't access adb in apx mode. Since you can't boot into recovery I would try allowing your device to boot to the point where it hangs and then see if you can access it using adb. If that works you may be able to fix your device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
I've been getting a message "error: device not found" after pasting the first line of script into CMD, preceded by the command "Adb shell"
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
I've managed to do this by trying to boot into recovery, then selecting the cold-boot option.

This is when I get the "error: device not found" message through the terminal.

It's odd because obviously my computer KNOWS the device is connected. I'm wondering why I can't issue commands
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
Ok now this is getting weird. I can open what I can reasonably infer is the TF101 which appears as a 'portable device' with the drive letter I: assigned.

I'm going to try to copy a kernel over to it.

EDIT: now it's telling me "please insert a disk into removable disk I:"
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairbly:
You may need to install the adb driver again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
Just to clarify, will I need to download the whole Android SDK kit, or is there somewhere where I can obtain the ADB driver separately?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairbly:
The driver is not part of the android sdk. Installing Asus sync will install the drivers and barring that a search of these forums should come up with the drivers I imagine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozka.1:
Only ADB > http://www.mediafire.com/?giga1gjrwnrg1if, but still you must download from the Asus website drivers for TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
I've reinstalled the ADB drivers (did the whole AsusSYNC reinstallation) and it has not changed anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
I can find my TF101 as an unknown APX device when I get into APX mode. Does this help me at all?

EDIT: I've reinstalled the APX drivers after uninstalling. Now nothing pops up in device manager.

I still occasionally get the 'MTP device not successfully installed' Win7 message when I reconnect my device
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairbly:
APX mode is only useful for using nvflash which does nothing with an sbkv2 device.

Does your device hang while booting recovery or coldbooting? If so I would boot both of those ways to see if they boot far enough for your device to be accessible through adb. Otherwise you are likely bricked.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozka.1:
What is problem?

Do you have TF with SBKv1 (s/n lower B70)?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
No
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
It reboots when trying to get into recovery, and gets stuck on a boot-look.

When trying to coldboot it hangs. I think at the beginning I was able to push an adb command. Now I can't find the device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jozka.1:
Can you get to CWM recovery?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
I am most definitely bricked.

My device can't be found through ADB, I can't cold boot, or boot recovery.

To be sure: is this completely dead forever? Will there ever be a fix or is a piece of trash now?

If this is dead forever then I'll bite the bullet and buy a used or refurbished 16gb one. Might even be worth sending it in for warranty and seeing what Asus tell me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairbly:
In theory if anyone ever figures out how to get nvflash working for sbkv2 devices then your device could be fixable.

As for sending for an rma, you might get lucky if it isn't obvious your device was rooted.

Edit: Try using adb in linux it seems to function at a much earlier stage of booting the device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
I think I got adb installed for linux (I could have botched it)

When I went into terminal and entered the command:

I got nothing coming up.

When I entered:

I got the message

Looks like I really messed this up :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nairbly:
Strange my device was detected as soon as it got to the screen with the asus logo and the spinning circle thing.

I also couldn't connect to the device until I ran these commands(although I could still see the device was connected).

sudo adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server
adb devices
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
I'll give it another try then.

I had some complications installing ADB for linux: just to confirm if terminal is coming up with a list of ADB commands when I type "ADB" then it's all been set up properly?

I don't get to the spinning circle point. The Asus spash screen is only up for a second before it reboots.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Nvflash might in some convoluted way be able to work on sbkv2, is a longshot though: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1618371&highlight=c10

If adb pops up in terminal just typing adb then all should be setup right.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
Well as far as I've tried, I can't find my TF101 with ADB. I don't think I can push anything onto it :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themac:
Hi bcd234,

try posting in the transformer section and contacting people like lilstevie.

Maybe they'll be of help, i hope !

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
Is there a way to freeze the boot process through ADB?

It seems like I get a split second of communication with the device before it reboots.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Try kill server and then restart-server. Make SURE drivers on computer are properly installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
I suspected that the drivers might be the problem earlier because the devices pop up as identified then the TF101 reboots before they install properly.

I've tried to uninstall them and then reinstall them. I've done a reinstall of ASUSsync, installed the PC suite, and found drivers manually. Unfortunately it's the MTP drivers that don't seem to install when I try a manual installation.

Which drivers might be the problem if I'm not finding the device under ADB?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Try it in linux with adb, no drivers required
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcd234:
I've got ADB working with linux so I'll try it at some stage. I have a replacement TF101 to use as of today (at great personal expense) and ADB commands were working with Win7 AND Ubuntu.. so that doesn't bode well.

Couldn't Root my new TF101 with vipermod though.. there was trouble installing busybox I think. I did everything right so it must be that build no 9.2.1.21 ICS 4.0.3 isn't working with Vipermod Primetime 4.5..

Could have sworn the build no was the same with my older one though? Oh well..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
No, you have to downgrade to root that firmware, use wolf's method in the general section to do this. Make sure you use the option for unrooted.

I'm buying the phone in a few days and need advice. What is the best online retailer for buying this phone in the US? The ones I know about are: expansys, negri-electronics, ebay, amazon, and craigslist. I wanted to make sure I got the Taiwan build since a lot of people have given positive feedback on Taiwan builds. Does anyone expect HTC to fix some of the build issues under-the-radar or is it mostly software related. Let me know, thanks.
[HTC One X] 1earful:
can't vouch for best. i first ordered from negri last weekend and never received a responding confirmation. i emailed and they said they had no stock and didn't know when new stock would arrive. then i cancelled and they tried to call me to say oh, heavens, they had one, but their free shipping offer did not apply to hawaii, so they would need to charge me $32 more. i said thanks but no thanks. went to expansys and ordered. order got held up a bit because i ordered some items not immediately available. it got straightened out and my order arrived within the week in great condition.

the phone from expansys comes out of taiwan. there's a rumor that the taiwan phones are not exhibiting the same build issues as those from china. i can't say my copy is perfect, because the previous android i had was not very sophisticated, and neither am i when it comes to android. but it doesn't seem to be exhibiting any serious problems . i bought an att micro-sim card off amazon and signed up for att prepaid $2/day unlimited talk/text and added a data package. seems to work in general, but i haven't used it extensively. by the way, the expansys htc came with a sim-card tray opener pin. the amazon micro-sim sold by abe 1-2-3 is a true micro-sim - does not require any cutting down.
[HTC One X] Kit:
I always find the cheapest to be ebay from Hong Kong sellers, can get for $650 AUD

I'm currently visiting Singapore and just picked one up at Sim Lim Square for $722 SGD which is about $600 AUD which in tern is about $600 US?

Thanks guys for the advice. By the way, do you know if it would be cheaper to have it imported from Singapore?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyfj2k7:
It always acted strange. I may have had something frozen or removed though. It gave me force closes a lot. I do not understand why Google wallet will not work on the skyrocket but I can take my sim out and put it in the nexus s and it works just fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Google wallet ...

SKyrocket doesn't have a hardware secure eliment. SO the other options are a secure eliment via SIM card or via external SD card. In order to do this, a TSM (Trusted Services Manager) is needed. It would be easy, but:

A. Google wallet (the app) has to be amended to include the use of non-hardware secure eliments. and

B. A TSM (software) program needs to be structured for this phone.

Both of these do not exist as of yet.

I've used NFC with the first ICS leak and it works fine for me. I haven't been able to test "beam" out because I don't have another ICS phone available. Maybe you had a bad flash with the first leak?

The first ICS leak improved contrast performance.

This does not remove the lines (or blots in my case), but makes them less visible due to better contrast performance.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ramborouser:
No problems so far

I went straight from 2.3.6 (UCLA) to this current version and haven't experienced any problems either in install or operation. I have the same signal strength as I had with GB (4-5 bars) and data rates are same (I live in a HSPA+ only area). I can't comment on changes between this and the first *official* leak, since I opted out of trying that one, but in and of itself I would say this is a stable build.

There are several threads currently open on this issue, so hopefully I have found the most popular one, but here are my comments on problems noted in other threads:

-After getting the latest Flash update, I haven't had any problems with web content. Specifically, full screen flash videos work fine.

-Battery life looks promising, but still too early to report.

-I didn't have to do any sort of factory reset - all keys and functions seem to be working properly after a single install

-The screen does seem a bit less sensitive (again, compared to GB), but I always thought it was oversensitive anyway. Nonetheless, I will have to adjust to this.

-The only lag I have experienced was when sliding to answer a phone call. The animation was choppy and it took about 2 seconds to connect. Doesn't seem like a big deal to me either way, but hopefully it will resolve itself with further use.

-I, too, was noticing heavy data over wifi, which as someone else pointed out, appears to be caused by bloatware. Specifically, force closing AT&T Ready2Go immediately stopped a lot of wifi usage.

I can't think of anything else worth reporting that isn't already included on the "Bugs and Quirks" thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566015) I'll post again later with a battery report.
