[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juggernaut:
I'm using SHV-E210S for a week now, so far it works in China, HK, S'pore and Indonesia. So I guess should be not much different from the international version. There are a few issues I discovered with this model.

1. Battery size is smaller than the international version so you may need to buy backup battery from Korea.

2. Unable to upgrade software/firmware unless you use SK Telecom's USIM.

The advantage I found:

1. This Korean model sports 2GB RAM whereas the international model only has 1GB RAM

Anyone knows more? Pls share!

Read first post, go to last page (or the one before last, there you can download newer files, a few pages back are also new google apps for ics).

As for hono - it is outdated and apparently buggy. CM7 RC2 is simply stunning. If you want it ics themed you can download theme from market and apply it using theme chooser. Hono used the one by Sonny Sekhon.

Regarding cm7 tweaks - it has ≈ just the right amount of tweaks to make it fast and stable.

I was using the last Cm9 nightly, but I have some problem to answer calls when the screen was on, and some problems with data.

Try this.

Hi guys, I hope this question isn't too noobish. I I just got my Note and I'm trying to get my contacts sorted. As far as I know I'm only syncing with my one Gmail account but I have more than one entry for some people (see pic). I went through my contact list and joined my contacts so there would only be one for each person and then I updated to ICS and it all went screw again. So I fixed my contact list again and then I had to do a factory reset because I was getting the camera search error and sure enough I've got to go through and fix things again. If I update my list on my phone does it not sync those changes to my Gmail contact us list?

(oops can't post a pic yet... But you get the idea-for example, if having 3 Dave Smiths in your contact list.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:

when i first got my tf300t i pretty much just jumped in and messed with the build.prop without much research. i was lucky not to have bricked it since i bought it used meaning if i bricked out i would have no way of returning it.

let us know how you guys bricked your tablet so that we can be more carefull not to brick it ourselves.

I bricked mine changing the build prop and then deleted the old and pasting the new back in to get the .29 update without changing the permissions back before rebooting. Upon reboot it just started up in the Asus screen and stayed there, I could not get ADB, fastboot or anything to work. Hope this helps others!

[Transformer TF300T General] asrulz:
is there any way to recover after bricking the pad?
[Transformer TF300T General] EndlessDissent:
Technically bricking means that the device becomes permanently useless, essentially a glass/plastic brick. When a device is truly bricked, it doesn't even power on.

That's why you'll see the terms "hard brick" and "soft brick". A hard brick is a true brick, as described above, and a soft brick just means that the operating system is currently inaccessible. It's possible to recover from most soft bricks depending on the actual problem. You just have to figure out how.

[Transformer TF300T General] atomicblue:
i believe it's supposed to be rw-r-r, that's how i have it and it works.

i'm haven't heard of anyone with their bootloader locked fixing a build.prop brick, their only option would be to return it via the store you bought it from or sending it to directly to asus if your within waranty period. now if you've unlocked your bootloader that's a different story, i believe you can fix a build.prop brick by flashing a rom using cmw.

When you have un-locked and CWM you can falsh the Update ZIP from ASUS.

Just unpack the update zip once. Do not falsh the blob but the zip file.

TF300TG bricked

I bricked my TF300TG tablet - it is not even booting, nothing on screen only orange charge light when plugged into charger.

It started thus:

1. I flashed the JB version of the TF300T and lost the 3G. Were looking for solutions on all forums, couldn't unlock bootloader or get root on JB.

Could not go back to ICS.

2. JB OTA for this tab came available on 1 October, but could not do it as System Firmware - update check not working, the update not yet available to download and flashing via the zip method from SD card.

3. RCK broken - Android on back with red triangle. Able to use other options - cold boot and USB option.

4. Out of frustration (MISTAKE) I decided to play and reflash the original blob via staging and to recovery.

5. The staging part worked perfectly via Fastboot - fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob

6. This is were I made the mistake - flash the same blob to recovery - fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery blob without rebooting it first after flashing staging.

7. Three quarters throug writing stage it froze - I left it for a while and nothing happened.

8. I thenk switched of and try to boot to recovery via ON and volume down - nothing...

It is now being sent to ASUS for repair.......

I think the bootloader went corrupt that is why it is not switching on at all.

BE AWARE and reboot after successful flash via staging method.

TF300T Bricked after messing

Hi guys, my name is Thor.

I am a bricker

It all started with me unlocking the device and running CWR on it.

But for some reason after re flashing several CM 9 and CM10 the camera app was gone, so I desided to try and reset to stock.

Could not find build type since CM already occupied that space so decided that I would try the one that I thought was the right one.

this didn't work, so I tried to install TWRP and this didn't work, so I decided to try and install CWR again and then I hard rebooted the device after long wait.

Now the screen says ASUS, powered by tegra in lower corner, and upper left it say the device is unlocked.

My computer does not recognize it, nothing happens when I try to restart holding up, or down volume not even when I squeeze both at the same time, not able to turn off, it just turns itself back on again.

What to do?????

be carefull when u do WIPE DEVICE !!!!!!!

Hi All..

My TF300t is unlocked and rooted . I installed the new JB and then I was trying to install CWM. I used fastboot to push it to the device. When I rebooted, holding down the volume button, It came up to the menu with RCK, USB, etc. I selected wipe data by accident. It sat there for a while saying it was going to wipe and go into the boot loader. After a while I shut it off thinking it was hung. Now when I power on the device I get only the ASUS startup screen. Volume up or down don't affect the mode. It just says "The Device is Unlocked" at the top, and the static ASUS logo in the middle. When I plug in the USB to my Windows 7 computer I get nothing in the device listing.

i install universal naked driver

and could enter in APX mode and my pc show apx driver

how can i restore my bootloader and fastboot

i did not have NVFLASH backup

many thanks

Same Problem

Been searching the web for two weeks - seems Hundreds of us have the same problem. There must be a way to reset the OS through APX mode, as I believe ASUS factory service does this. ASUS should post a fix for this. Very, Very Upsetting situation.
[Transformer TF300T General] jcbrown:
Asus told me to go pound salt. Any tablet with unlocked boot loader , it is Asus policy to replace mother board. I asked about nvflash to replace boot loader but they said that was their policy. Mine was just a reboot after installing beats audio drivers. It hung at the device unlocked screen and I couldn't get to apx mode or anything, although I'm not sure that I had all the necessary apx drivers installed.
[Transformer TF300T General] qwahchees:
Could anyone fill me in on why this tablet seems to Brick so easily?

I have an SGS3 and messed up plenty of times, even messed with build.prop and all I've ever had was soft brick, which was easily recoverable.

If you can boot into Recovery then the tablet should be "brick proof" I don't get how flashing different firmware can brick other then using ICS ROM on JB bootloaders.

How I Bricked my TF300T

Ok, first, of course, i unlocked my device with the accompanying unlocker app.

The very next thing I did was to install TWRP v2.1.5.

At this point, everything is good.

Then I downloaded cm-10-20121111.1642-SKANKY-tf300t.zip.

Flashing it using TWRP, I waited for a reboot.

ASUS screen came up and didn't continue.

Computer wouldn't recognize my tablet until I installed Universal_Naked_Driver_0.7.

Now, it sees the tablet, but I can't seem to download a new ROM. Mount doesn't seem to work.

I know if I could just get the darn thing to mount, I'd be home.

Don't know if anyone can help, but if not, does anyone need a $500 paperweight?
[Transformer TF300T General] Androidious:
Can't you just boot into the boot loader and then get into recovery from there to flash and/or mount? I can't play with my Asus u til Xmas lol, but that's how I would go about fixing my phone if I were I. That pickle.
[Transformer TF300T General] Buckeye2891:
Here's my Problem

When you say bootloader, I think you're talking about the screen that gives me an option for USB, wipe, or Android. In that screen, if I select USB, or Android, I get the same thing; the message says:

Platform Pre OS Boot Configuration...

Cold-booting Linux

Andthere it sits!:(
[Transformer TF300T General] moisaal:
IM not sure if this is considered soft bricked but even though i unlocked the bootloader I am sending it back to ASUS, just for ****s and giggles. I was on TWRP 2.3.1 and flashed to a lower version (2.2.1) it may have been a bad download, idk, but remember, TWRP does not verify MD5checksums, so be sure to click that box before flashing. Anyways upon booting, it hangs at the asus screen and will not let me enter RCK, FASTBOOT, ETC Menu. I can turn the device off by holding down power and the volume up key and then letting go of the vol. up but holding the vol .down key is worthless. I will let you know if they will fix it, Id even pay for it bc it was running so smooth, thats why you haveto pay attention when flashing with ur tablets, they seem much more finicky than phones. BTW I was unlocked on the JB Bootloader.
[Transformer TF300T General] Jmahoneyy:
I was stuck on the first logo screen for a day. I flashed a rom that claimed to be jb boot loader compatible but wasn't. I flashed using TWRP 2.3 and got the error "E: unable to mount ' /staging'". I thought that was the problem, turns out to be insignificant. Not until I restored from backup the previous rom three times was I able to boot again with a sigh of relief.
[Transformer TF300T General] Buckeye2891:
How I unbricked my device

I unbricked my TF300T (not TG) by downloading the ROM from ASUS version 9.4.3.26. I unzipped that package and copied the blob from it into my fastboot folder. Then, with my 300 attached to my computer via USB, I booted it into the bootloader screen and selected the USB icon. Then I opened a command window in my fastboot folder (press shift-right click). I then entered the fastboot commands:

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob

when the write was OK, and it took three tries, enter the next command

fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

I was SOOO happy! Thand you guy EVER so much! When I get some cash, You'll get some of it!!!

Mine got bricked by CWM recovery

I brick my tf300t when trying to get CM 11 nightly installed. I was running CM 10.2.1 with TWRP 2.5.0 recovery installed on my device when last week I saw CM 11 nightly 2014-02-XX on the cyanogen update downloader. So I download CM 11, try to install it with TWRP but I got an error message and unable to install CM11.

I did some research on the forum and it seem that I need the last TWRP (2.6.3) to install CM 11. So I flash TWRP 2.6.3 using fastboot, reboot the tablet in recovery mode and retry to flash CM11. I still get the same error message when installing CM 11 so I flash my last version of CM 10.2.1 and all went smootly. If I would stop there, I still have my tablet.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, rooted, with CWM recovery and the passage to CM 11 was done flawlessly. So I begin to think TWRP was the problem and I search for CWM recovery for my tf300. I found the recovery on the official site and download the touch version (5.8.3.4). I reboot my tablet in fastboot mode, flash the CWM recovery 5.8.3.4, reboot in recovery but it never reboot in recovery mode. It's stuck on Asus logo powered by Nvidia at bottom and "This device is unlock" on top left corner. I can't even shut it down. I can only make a connection on APX mode, no fastboot, no adb. After 2 days of research on the forums, I pull out the white flag and accept I now have a 400$ cutting board :(
[Transformer TF300T General] cmendonc2:
Have you tried using the reset pin and busters recovery script?
[Transformer TF300T General] Akarias:
Yes, when I use the reset pin, I got the same result as holding down power button. Pressing vol-down button have no effect with the reset pin. The tablet keep rebooting with only the Asus logo on screen. The only thing that work is holding vol-up button with the reset pin to enter apx mode. No other thing seem to work. :(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
According to the notification bar you have bluetooth enabled and the app reports that your Wifi is running a lot [*]. Both drain the battery, especially since a lot of apps will use the open data connection to update, pull and push data.

If you're keeping 3G on, you might want to check if IDLE is supported (so-called fast dormancy) since non-idle HSPA connections drain the battery very quickly.

My guess is that people with extremely low loss-% drop back to 2G or disable data networking altogether when not using it.

(I prefer dropping to 2G since apps can still receive updates)

Additionally it also depends on the background apps (of course) and your network strength. If you're on 1-2 bars (or even dropping out sometimes) it needs more power than an excellent connection.

[*] Wifi also requires a lot of power to scan for nearby networks if you're not currently connected to a network.
