[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richbyrd1981:
okay I opened terminal emulator on my tablet and typed in roaches fix exactly like it says

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

and this popped up

*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5038*

*daemon started successfully*

error: device not found

255 app_37@android:/ $

what am i doing wrong? thank you so much for your continued help

Ive also tryed the peri and easy recovery with no luck, I think my bigest problem is i dont understand the adb thing, ive tryed searching about it and im lost.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
That's the wrong dd command, dd consists of an if=/ then an of=/

Try this.

adb kill-server

adb start-server

adb devices

(you should see the tf, if not, bad drivers/not working connection, fix that first)

adb shell

su (Grant superuser permissions, if you can, and you'll see a # sign)

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

reboot

Then flash a new recovery by:

Download and extract recoveryblob from recovery.zip

adb kill-server

adb start-server

adb devices

adb push C:\path\to\recoveryblob /sdcard/

adb shell

su (you'll get # sign again)

dd if=/sdcard/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

reboot
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richbyrd1981:
I have to thank you for your patience and continued help with my problem, but with that being said I must inform you that I am still completely lost. Im not a developer and I would not even consider myself remotely knowledgeable in the subject. I was just wanting a nice custom ROM and I had found one with cyanogen mod 9 but I messed up by using the Rom manager and now I'm screwed.

I can cold boot into my tablet, and on my tablet I have this computer emulator program, which i can type in the codes you mentioned, but I'm pretty sure that is not correct. what i need is a program like that on my computer, so far I found this link regarding adb, but I'm not sure if it is right direction.....

http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

if this is the wrong direction, can you please point me in the right direction? again I am sorry for my ignorance and when this is all done I will be sure to buy you a freaking case of beer. Thank you
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
You can run the adb commands on your TF using the emulator app, but you'll need to directly download the recoveryblob used to flash.

Open terminal and run roach's fix (except instead of typing adb shell, you just start from su, then run the dd command from there, since you're already in the tf's 'shell')

so

su

dd if of etc

reboot

Then you'll need to reflash a recovery, so download Team Rouge's Recovery.zip then use ES file explorer app (download that) to extract the file called 'recoveryblob'. Take that file called 'recoveryblob' then copy it out of the downloads folder (still using ES file explorer) hit the favorites button then hit /sdcard/ (You don't need a microSD card to do this, /sdcard/ [For whatever reason O.o..] is the Internal storage. [/removable/microSD/ is the external]) then paste the recoveryblob right in /sdcard/.

Open up the terminal emulator and run

su

dd if=/sdcard/recoveryblob/ of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

reboot

That should give you recovery! (Then you can reflash a ROM or do whatever you need/Enjoy not having to cold-boot everytime)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbrechin:
Thanks for your info. TF now up and running without the need to cold boot. For information, I did not use a Rom Manager to flash the rom, I used CWM to flash the Gummy Rom.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richbyrd1981:
I finally got my tf101 fixed and I learned something new. I just wanted to thank Thing of Doom for all of the help he offered me and without ever asking anything in return. Thanks.....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
If anyone wants to know, here's what I did to fix nefem's completely FOUBAR TF101g.

First I tried NvFlash, then right at the flashing stage realized it's a tf101g Sbkv3, so that was out X.x

Then I uninstalled all the drivers and reinstalled them with PERI, got ADB working through recovery.

I had him try and flash a .zip file for a new recovery so I could run Roach's fix, but for whatever reason the CWM wouldn't mount the Internal storage (mmcblk0p7 or /sdcard/) so I manually pushed the recoveryblob to /sdcard/ and it seemed to work, but when I ran dd if=/sdcard/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 it couldn't mount and find it.

The next thing I tried since internal was acting funky was looking at the log, I noticed that the directory was /system/sbin so I just pushed the recovery to there, adb push recoveryblob /system/sbin, then ran the same dd command with that directory and it worked. Then I just ran roach's fix normally and rebooted, he had rouge recovery!

That was the first part, his internal was still borked for some reason and Rouge couldn't mount it.

I tried various ADB mounts and they all failed, so eventually he put a MicroSD into his phone (or something else) I placed the ARHD superswipe script and a ROM w/ Guevor's kernel on there, then since rouge reads external, superwipe was able to completely format internal storage. From there it was an easy wipe and flash. Once we got a working ROM on there, we noticed that it was still getting stuck at the Eee pad logo (He could cold-boot). So I figured that his bootloader was still messed up, so we took the latest Tf101G stock blob, used the handy Rayman's blob tools to pull out the EBT (bootloader partition) blob, then directly flashed that with dd again through adb: dd if=/sdcard/blob (Removed the EBT extension, important) of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

Reboot, and finally it was booting optimally!

It was a tad of trial and error (The internal storage thing really had me confuzzled) but it all got fixed up in the end.

Hope this helps someone somewhere :P

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad1980:
You are a Saint and a Scholar good sir. THANK YOU!

I would just add a note that the recoveryblob line you have here appears to be incorrect. Specifically, there shouldn't be a forward slash following recoveryblob in the dd command. I highlighted it red above.

But, now having an operational recovery, that's just splitting hairs:victory:

Again, a million thanks!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] danjwalker:
so i have a mini pro and it is on tesco mobile. i also have a galaxy s2 and know what i am doing with that. I know where to download firmware for that. is there a similar place to samfirmware, that is trustworthy, where i can download the firmware for the mini pro?

i saw a thread about wotan server but I cannot see a free way to do this.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] danjwalker:
is there

really nobody who knows?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Are you on a Mini Pro or an X10 Mini Pro?

Sony Ericsson is not too keen on having their firmwares out in the wild, i guess you could trick PC Companion into downloading the firmware-blobs and create your own bundle with Flashtool.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] danjwalker:
wow

blob? flashtool? Oh, I will leave it if I have to learn a whole new thing just to break my phone! If only it was as easy as samsung make it!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
If you really want the original stock firmware just get PC Companion from the Sony website.

Leave the phone unplugged, choose update...

It can't find your phone because it's unplugged and give you a repair option

In that repair option it let's you choose your model and downloads the firmware for that and flashes it to the phone. You will lose all data though so make sure you have a backup

(It does not always work, but that may be regional or carrier related, i'm still not sure)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bamboula10:
To upgrade to official firmware,

you can use SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) and install it.

After, you follow the instruction that SEUS gives you. ;-)

Sorry for my bad english.

So I got bored of waiting for Wind's OTA ICS update and them telling everyone "you get it when we get it" and i sent a ticket into HTC.. got this as the responce today.

When you download the OTA, kindly pull the file from /sdcard/download (internal sd) and upload it for us please.

As soon as I get it, I'll be making it available.
[HTC Amaze 4G] JMeister234:
I'm running it now. It was available at 6am when I awoke, and according to someone on Mobilesyrup, they had it downloading before 5...

---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------

Looks like it cleaned itself out of /Download/ - so I'm guessing anyone who hasn't done it yet, to get it BEFORE they start installing it. Otherwise it'll be gone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] darkmagic99:
For some reason when I try to check for updates - it just gets stuck and only shows the message checking.... but nothing happens.

Is this because I am rooted and/or have my bootloader unlocked? Or is it because I have CWM as my recovery?

I really hope someone can provide the OTA files so I can try and update through recovery.

Please someone save the file before updating and share!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Ashcunak:
looks like its 4.0.3...

anyone care to spew out the build #'s etc and versions of everything else?
[HTC Amaze 4G] kenypowa:
You need to relock the bootloader and flash stock recovery before you can proceed.

[HTC Amaze 4G] darkmagic99:
thanks to violated - we now have the zip file.

sorry - a bunch of noob questions:

Do I still have to go to stock recovery and relock bootloader to use the zip file?

If not - do I just copy the zip file to the sd card and rename it to update.zip and install it from CWM recovery?

A walkthrough would be greatly appreciated! I don't want to brick my phone!

Lastly - if I want to keep all of my apps/settings - should I do a backup and then apply the update - then reload the backup?

Thanks in advance!

I can do a comparison, but I'm so lazy, lol, I'll see tonight, I do wanna see what's the difference, if it's just a renaming of the software number or some extra spec, since Telus was basic HTC software, with a telus theme option.

I just want to confirm what I am going to do will work and I hope this can also be of help to others.

I am currently s-off, i super cid'ed my phone, rooted, boot loader LOCKED.

I am with WIND.

-down load new OTA ics zip rom and put on root of sd card

-then go back to the GB rom that came with phone when I bought it? I did a nandroid back up after I rooted it so I presume i can just flash that via 4ext?

-then book back into recovery and choose install from sd card, then select update.zip, and then select the ota ics zip file?

this may seem like a stupid question but once i install my original GB rom will i lose my 4ext recovery interface?

appreciate the help and confirmation

hope this helps others as well
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
1. OTA's cannot be installed via 4EXT or any other custom recovery, use the wind GB exe ruu in the dev section to restore to stock GB.

2. You will lose 4EXT but you can always restore it after the update using hasoon's tool

3. Whether your bootloader is locked or not, since you're s-off, it doesn't matter, but you will have to unlock it to flash 4EXT after the update.
[HTC Amaze 4G] windcan:
hmm, thanks, I was hoping the process would be a bit simpler, likely stay on energy's rom which is working great.

ICS update help

I rooted my HTC amaze with Wind. From the reading here in order to update to ICS, I need to revert back to Wind stock Rom and relock my bootloader. The stock Rom that I found here is version 1.46.1500.2, unfortunately I did upgraded to 1.46.1500.3. When I try to revert back to 1.46.1500.2, I get Error 55.

I did download ICS from my phone, but I get an error during installation.

Could someone please help me so I can unroot my phone and get ICS update?
[HTC Amaze 4G] kenypowa:
You don't need stock ROM. You have to lock bootlaoder and flash stock recovery.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Vinagre:
I'm so paranoid about my ICS (although I have no problems) I created a small application to check if we have the famous chip bug and as root makes the reading test on the memory to verify that we have not damaged.

Do not be too critical of the appearance. It's just a quick prototype to verify that we are without memory corruption.

I hope you find it useful: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] PoisonWolf:
What does it do, and how exactly does it go about verifying?

I do not mean to be a skeptic, but I am typically cautious if an app is asking for root permissions.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] brockyneo:
Mmmm be nice if this is true

Btw link doesn't work ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Vinagre:
Root permissions are for memory read. I use "dd ..." command.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] MR.change:
it would basically attempt to read the entire emmc ,and if at any point it fails or lock up the phone then that means we have damage.

just so we are clear ,having bad sectors is normal wear and tear ,this would only indicate that it's more prone to locking up when wiping from LPY ,not that anyone should attempt such a thing anyway.
