[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmarcdee:
Hi,

My TF101 won't charge anymore. The original charger stopped working a while back, which is when I first switched to a 12v 1.5a charger with USB tip from Radioshack. ---Insert long story about using the charger last night to charge a drill battery and possibly shorting some wires in bad ways---. I just bought a brand new adapter from Radioshack. Plugged in my tablet, the battery charging icon pops up for a second then goes away and there are no other signs of charging. Same thing happens when I plug it into one of my computer's 12v rails (similar to this). I think it might be trickle charging, but I haven't yet left it alone for more than an hour or so. Same thing happened when I plugged it into a 19v laptop adapter (swapped out the barrel tip with my USB tip). The USB tip is a single unchanged variable in all of these tests, but when I was at Radioshack I quickly tested the new adapter with a new tip, and it did not work, so I don't think the USB tip is the problem, but maybe. A multimeter shows correct voltage from both adapters and computer. I can't seem to get any reading from the female USB tip plug, but I also don't know where the put the meter leads, when I put them both inside the plug I got some sparks so I stopped.

Could there be something wrong with the tablet itself?

Thanks,

Marc

Edit: Or how can I test the 30-pin connector that goes into the tablet with a multimeter?

Hey guys general question but would be nice to hear your views. What do yas think is the best gameing combo (Rom and Kernel) mainly for fpse (ps1 emulator) but also generally for all round gameing? I'm currently on viperx 2 with faux kernel..
[HTC One X] strikerdj2011:
been using viper 1.0.1 and now 2.0.1 with faux kernel and gaming is top notch no lag or any thing the gpu is over clocked as well and i have tried a few roms insert coin is another great rom as well but my 1st choice is defo viper and faux
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Emulator games rely much more on CPU than GPU unfortunately, although faux's kernel does very well in games when used with Renovate Gaming Boost app.
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Agreed. Using tbaldens cm10. Faux beta 7 oc to 1.55ghz. Interactive governer with supercharger script option 9 and I get no lag at all in games

Yea I have the gamebooster app, had alook at scripts n all but may be slightly above my current knowledge base :s

The game booster app apply the same things as the supercharger script. But on aosp based ROMs the gaming app doesn't work without a part of the sense framework which I didn't want to install

[HTC Rezound] dashbored:
Hi all! This is my first post and hope it's not too silly of a question. I am currently using a Thunderbolt but very likely will be upgrading to a Rezound (I have both phones now). I know the ICS OTA is out for Rezound. I want to get root and S-off on Rezound running the stock ICS OTA, but I am not sure about the order of events.

1. Should I get S-off and root on the stock Gingerbread rom per the instructions in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1823362), and then upgrade to the ICS OTA? Or should I upgrade the stock Gingerbread to ICS OTA and then attempt to get S-off and root?

2. Is a confirmed s-off/root procedure out for the stock ICS OTA? sorry if I missed it - I promise I did my best searching through the forum before posting :)

I thought I'd start with the stock ICS OTA rom so I'll get a baseline for when I try out other roms down the road. And from what I've read here, the stock rom is probably a little bit more robust for day to day (correct me if I am wrong!). I hate the verizon bloatware and I think I'd be happy for a while if I can have S-off and root on the stock ICS.

thanks in advance for any help!
[HTC Rezound] michaelbsheldon:
from scratch

Hiya, You're getting ready to become addicted to roms, by the way.

All your choices are kind of 'what do you want' things, but assuming you

receive it with stock Gingerbread, easiest thing would be to:

1 unlock by way of HTC Development instructions - lots of info here on xda

2 flash Cleanrom 175 a gingerbread stockish rooted rom

3 do the S-0ff thing with Juopunutbear, being careful not to amend or skip

any instructions in the S-0ff recipe (critical).

4 now your phone is s-0ff and locked. leave it just that way: no unlocks ever needed again and no pink warnings

5 flash Android police newest ICS RUU

6 flash amon ra as a PBIMG in recovery

7 use amon ra to wipe and install ANYTHING you want
[HTC Rezound] dashbored:
haha Yeah roms are pretty addictive! So my background in rooting is limited to the Thunderbolt, which is my first smartphone. I used the Revolutionary IO method, which got me S-Off and root. But after reading through the Juopunutbear (Unlimited IO), I am slightly confused. I definitely did not do the wiring procedures involving the antennae contacts to get S-Off with the thunderbolt. I did more research and it sounds like the S-Off in thunderbolt is a "fake" S-off from a patched hboot?

That also leads to my next questions... up until now, I thought the following:

1. hboot = bootloader, which is the "BIOS" of the phone

2. In order to be rooted, S-off must happen first (this I guess is not true from your steps)

3. Recovery = part of hboot (from what I've read so far, this is incorrect too)

Also, would you elaborate on step #4? I thought unlocked is what I want, but instead I really want to have S-off and locked bootloader?

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] michaelbsheldon:
yep

yo!

hboot is bootloader alright: some folks like a modified hboot which lets you do more than stock hboot.

personally I keep the stock ICS hboot 2.25.

nope, you dont have to be s-0ff to be rooted, only unlocked.

You can do most all modifications with unlock EXCEPT go back to previous hboot & rom.

Recovery is separate from hboot. Recovery is a menu choice in hboot.

A new recovery can only be installed if unlocked or s-0ff.

There's ClockworkMod and AmonRa. You'll wanna check them out both, I like Amon Ra.

re: step #4.

I know it's counterintuitive, but if you unlock it again after s-0ff, even though it's s-0ff, you will

have a nasty PINK Tampered flag every time you boot to hboot/custom recovery. And that crappy reminder stays

even after you you relock. The Juopunutbear process relocks the phone, making it S-0ff, Locked. Perfect.

Now with S-0ff, locked or unlocked doesn't matter regarding any roms or radios you may install and No warning flags.

Dont be intimidated by the wire procedure for s-0ff, just read it so many times beforehand that you effen KNOW it.

Enjoy: my Zound is so fast cool and perfect now that ive customized it to my useage pattern - hoping for

same experience for you!.
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
I basically had the exact same questions. Here's what I figured out:

S-Off, then Stock Recovery, then ICS OTA:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1821303

After post #6, go to the next link...

... Then flash AR Recovery 3.15:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1827263

I had to unlock my hboot again, which means I wiped my data... However, I've read that adding a custom hboot is very risky, since your phone can't run anything if this gets screwed up. I'm no expert, but this is what I've read. So re-unlocking felt safer to me, even if it was probably a little more hassle. Better than bricking, imo.

A word of caution about custom recovery: Clockwork Mod (CWM) has a serious bug that does not allow the Rezound to charge properly! When my battery died, I had to use my wife's Thunderbolt to charge the battery before I could turn my Rezound back on... A royal pain. I installed AR Recovery, and it's perfect.

... Then continue at the first link at post #7 for how to use AR Recovery to flash superSU to restore root.

I'm thinking about writing up a simple guide, since that was the hardest thing for me to find through this process.

Rezound

AR Recovery 3.15

Stock hboot

ICS OTA

Rooted
[HTC Rezound] dashbored:
I sold the Thunderbolt today and so now I've officially transitioned over to the Rezound! The phone is the stock gingerbread. I am dying to root it if only just so I can use titanium back up to transfer my crap over.

Thanks guys for the helpful replies! I've decided that right now, what I want is to be on the ICS OTA but with S-off & root so I can remove the bloat and optimize it. I'll stay with that for a bit to get a baseline before trying out different ROMs :)

What kind of wires did you guys use for the S-off procedure? Do I need to go out and buy something specific, or is there something around the typical household setting that I can grab? Obviously, not frying the phone is top priority. I've read through too much posts in the past 48 hours and I've come across a few that mentioned fried USB ports and even dead phones that had to be returned, which's made me a bit tentative. But I want S-off, so any pointers/comments you may have that would help about this would be much appreciated!

michaelbsheldon - question about your steps #1 & #2. Aren't these extraneous steps, as in you could just do the S-off wire with the stock Gingerbread? I am kinda confused as to the purpose of unlocking it first via HTC Dev and flashing a stockish ROM before the wire trick.
[HTC Rezound] dashbored:
Thanks for the tip about the CWM recovery! As I no longer have a thunderbolt, I would've been totally screwed. Question though - it sounds like you did what michaelbsheldon said not to do, re-unlock after you're S-off. Do you have the pink flag that he mentioned?

So here's my plan to get my Rezound into a S-off, rooted ICS OTA - please let me know if it's valid:

1a (waiting for michaelbsheldon reply if truly necessary, or if can proceed on stock GB) - HTC Dev unlock and flash Cleanrom 175

1. S-off wire procedure

2. Apply ICS OTA update

3. Apply global roaming update (if available? read about this in the past few days)

4. Since no need to unlock, flash appropriate Superuser for ICS OTA (will google, or if anyone would like to help make sure I find the right one, please feel free to link :) )

5. flash Amonra recovery. Keep stock hboot.

6. Install root explorer to delete VZ bloatware and titanium backup to restore apps and data from Thunderbolt
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
I'm going to give you a response this afternooon... I recommend that you don't do anything until I can clarify some things. brt...
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
It doesn't matter much if you do the OTA update before or after s-off. If it were me, I would do the OTA update first, especially if you are still locked....then unlock and do s-off using the proper ICS (for .5) jounuputbear. You can keep the stock hboot. NO NEED to unlock after s-off! AFter s-off, flash your Amonra recovery and then flash your SU...or just flash a rooted ROM. I haven't looked a lot, but I bet there is a stock, rooted, debloated ROM based on this OTA...just flash that and you'll be all set! :D:D ....
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
FYI: AFter you s-off you can not use fastboot flash commands unless you install the JB Hboot at the end of the S-off process (it should offer you the option) That is the custom hboot you refer to. All flashers are encouraged to check MD5 sum of the files they download before flashing (primarily RUU, hboot/radios..not so much roms). This will guard against corrupted files, making the process less risky.

If you have the ph98img.zip file version of amonra, it will flash just fine in the stock hboot. Hboot picks it up when it scans for ph98img.zip files and you select yes to install.

Personally, I've kept the stock hboot because there are ph98img.zip files of anything I've needed to flash so I don't have a need to be using a lot of fastboot commands. :D
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
Exactly... I prefer that my Rezound is self-sufficient, without needing a PC to mess with it. :p

Good note on fast boot!
[HTC Rezound] michaelbsheldon:
stock or rooted

Dashboard:

Juopunutbear instructions require a rooted rom.

So if you wanna go S-0ff, you CAN use a stock rom, but it must

be rooted (SU and Busybox) for the S-0ff process to work.
[HTC Rezound] flspanky:
I am new to this and need help when performing a wipe with amon ra there are a lot of options in recovery for the wipe, and I am not sure which option to do. Can you help.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
What are you trying to accomplish? Root? In that case, I believe you need to use amon ra to Wipe cache, then Wipe dalvik cache. Then.com use it to flash superSU.
[HTC Rezound] dashbored:
Wow thank you for that informative reply! That really cleared up all of my questions. I now have two new, minor questions.

1. The audio clip for the S-off wire trick has two distinct tones. From watching the video, it looks like the different tones don't matter. Basically just hit tap and release as the metronome hits the first beat, and then again on the second beat. Correct?

2. This is probably a silly question, but what are the advantages of Amon Ra recovery over the stock?

I am too tired tonight, but I think I am going to give this a go this weekend...
[HTC Rezound] dashbored:
Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
[HTC Rezound] flspanky:
Thanks. I was installing the ICS Global root and ROM and the instructions said to wipe all, and I was not sure how many areas under the wiping options I should perform.
[HTC Rezound] dashbored:
Quick update - I've rooted my Rezound. Have not done the S-off wire trick yet. Still on stock GB.

Question - none of the wifi tether app seems to be working! Open garden was working perfectly for me with my old rooted Thunderbolt. A quick search seems to show that Rezound has issues with wifi tethering?! This was one of the main motivations behind rooting, so I am a feeling a bit underwhelmed right now with my new Rezound...
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Newest wifi tether works fine...even has Rezound settings. Since you are still on GB search for sirgatez mod. Worked great for me when I was still on GB.
[HTC Rezound] dashbored:
Stuck on wire trick step... help?

So I am literally staring at the command prompt of Junobear from Hansons2000 all-in-one tool where it's saying "do the wire trick now".

I did, but nothing happened. The phone is showing the white to black gradient logo of htc. I don't know what to do right now. Should I unplug the phone from the laptop and start over??

help... :(
[HTC Rezound] dashbored:
Okay so I unplugged the phone from the laptop, and the command prompt had some activity. Started with "looking for device" and eventually to the "S-off fail". No biggie. So I exited out, and restarted via the Hanson2000 tool. It found the device (phew), and I tried again when it prompted to do the wire trick. Again, nothing happened or registered. So I unplugged because I was at a friend's house and had to come back home.

I am now home, about the try again. The phone is stuck on the green JuoponutBear with down arrow to a harddrive icon on a black background. Should I do a battery pull?
[HTC Rezound] dashbored:
SUCCESS!! :) *phew*

I think the problem was my angle was a little off in Pin 1. My friend's place had terrible lighting - I was doing it on their coffee table. I got home, went to my work desk and yes it worked :)

So now I am off to get the OTA ICS update... woohoo

Question

- I am now S-off and locked, as expected. So is the motivation to either unlock again (potential pink tampered flag?) or flash custom hboot is to be able to do what? Sorry such a newbie question! Is it for custom recovery (amon ra)?

I haven't said this enough, but a BIG thanks to everyone who's helped me out!!!!! You guys f'ing rock!
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
Hi dashbored... Sorry, I was not receiving my email alerts of new posts. Glad you got S-OFF!

Someone earlier mentioned that you need to flash a custom hboot if you want to run fast boot commands. However, I believe you can do most things, like flashing ROMs, radios, custom recoveries, etc., without fast boot commands... Plus, it's riskier. So I just kept stock hboot, the only disadvantage being that you need to go through the htc unlock process again, which will wipe your device. I did this, and I do not see anything on my device that says "tampered".

So I guess it's really a choice between risky but simpler (custom hboot), or less risky but a hassle (unlock again).

Whatever you do, back up your data FIRST with an app like My Backup Pro (my preference) or Titanium Backup. In My Backup Pro, you can backup your browser bookmarks, which came in handy since I couldn't install Chrome pre-ICS. SMS Backup+ can backup your texts. If you use your Google account for your contacts, then those already backed up.

Also...

Stock or Custom hboot? ... Unlocked.

custom hboot or stock doesn't matter, as it pertains to flashing a custom recovery. What matters is that you're unlocked. I couldn't install a custom recovery until I was unlocked. Once I unlocked, I installed AR Recovery 3.15 with stock hboot.

Why custom recovery?

To your earlier question... custom recoveries, like AR Recovery, allow you to make nand backups... Which, as I understand them, are basically a bit-for-bit image of your device. VERY good to have these backups. The other day, my Rezound started crashing every time it loaded Android. I restored one of my nand backups from within AR Recovery, and it was perfect... home screens, everything. Like I said: bit-for-bit. This is the main reason you want a custom recovery. But again, I recommend AGAINST Clockwork Mod (CWM) recovery, since it causes charging issues with the Rezound.

WiFi Tether?

Not to be confused with Wireless Tether... WiFi tether is all about finding the right settings, but it does work. I posted settings that worked great with my Rezound: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1828360

Both my laptop and my old HTC Incredible can tether to my phone using the settings I list there.

Also, check for newer versions... Some people are saying that there's a Rezound profile in newer versions.
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
I just want to reiterate to any noob reading this that there is no reason to unlock after s-off. You don't need to unlock to flash AR recovery if you are s-off. The advantage of keeping it locked is if you have to return it, you won't have to relock it, and it will show ***locked*** in hboot.:o
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
I do hear this same precaution often, but... My experience was very different from what you describe. I was not able to flash AR Recovery until I unlocked, even though I was S-OFF. Maybe there is another procedure I'm not aware of, but that was my situation. However, after unlocking, I also do not see anything on my device saying "tampered". Doesn't guarantee that Verizon wouldn't be able to tell, but I know the flag isn't there for me.
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
I don't think it would say tampered...I think if you lock it again, it would say "re-locked"... Just wondering, if you were trying to flash Recovery via fastboot flash or by a ph98img.zip file? If you were using fastboot flash commands, then it makes sense, you would need the jb hboot or an unlocked bootloader to make it work. :D
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
Maybe that's it... I haven't tried to re-lock. Maybe it's when you re-lock that the pink "tampered" flag shows up ... ?

Prior to unlocking, I tried both ways to flash AR Recovery, neither of which worked until I unlocked. Everyone else thought it should have worked as well, without unlocking, but I'm guessing that all those people had probably flashed a custom bootloader...

In other words, I don't think most people who responded followed the same procedure I did, so their expectations were incongruent with my situation. I haven't been able to narrow it down, except maybe it was because my bootloader was stock and locked. That's just a guess.
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
Nah..something must have been amiss. I've flashed (through bootloader, meaning battery pull, volume down/power on) the ph98img.zip for amonRA many times...and I'm s-off, locked, with stock hboot. Oh well,..we're all good now, though! :good:.
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
So weird... I was also s-off, locked, with stock hboot, but it didn't work for me. I guess if somebody wanted, they could review the instructions I posted in comment #10, to see if everything is in order? If something was left out, it was probably in guides 2 and 3, since I created these. :p

So I guess caution to anyone who wants to unlock their bootloader and might consider re-locking it later... It may show the "tampered" flag after all. ... But couldn't this be undone anyway?
