[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benoror:
Hi ppl!

First, my device failed to get the OTA Update because I deleted some system apps (see my original post).

Then I found this post where another user restored original APKs in /system/apps and managed to manually update to JB by downloading the dlpkgfile in this post.

So I proceed, restored my /system/apps (with 755 permissions), rooted with OTA RootKeeper and SuperSU, placed the dlpkgfile and command files, restarted to fastboot (Power+Vol Down) and entered Recovery mode.

The green android with the blue progress bar went for over 10 minutes, then ... the android with the RED TRIANGLE appeared :(

After a minute or so the device restarted, an ASUS logo with a blue progress bar ran, but then it got stuck in the ASUS logo.

I'm still able to restart to fastboot (Power+Vol Down), where a message appears:

Android cardhu-user bootloader (1.00 e) released by "US_epad-10.4.2.9-20120809" A03

, and where I have 4 choices:

1. RCK: Recovery mode, when I select this the Red Triangle appears again.

2. Android: Normal android boot, gets freeze right away

3. Fastboot USB download protocol: Tried using ADB, but don't really know what it is. Here's an image of how the device appear in my Windows PC

4. Wipe Data: Already done this, seems to wipe user data, but still gets stuck on ASUS logo

Some pictures I took of my device: http://imgur.com/I13ou http://imgur.com/Jezpn

I also tried downloading .30 firmware from ASUS website and placing the Zip contents in my SD card, then booting recovery but no luck.

It's pretty awful that everything went so bad, I'm hoping there is a solution.

Anything would be really appreciated!!!

Thanks!

OK, I found this tutorial about flashing ASUS firmware with fastboot: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-restore-asus-transformer-tf300t-back-to-stock/

The problem is that the following commands:

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip

both produce the error: "Signature mismatch"

I guess it's becaus my fastboot is newer version, since it was actually installed during the JB update, but I'm trying to flash a older .30 firmware.

I gues I will have to wait ASUS releases the new firmware for manual flashing it.

Just guessing...

Thank you for posting this. I wanted to try something like this with the new boot loader that came with jb but it appears flashing the older firmware will not work.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
That is exactly what I'm wanting to know if it's even possible. If I can safely downgrade, I can re-root, but I'm limited on what I can do with a locked bootloader.

soft bricked?

I dont see how this is solved......I have seen some people comment they have no fastboot or recovery,

I tried to do manual update in cwm and when I rebooted with adb all I have is asus boot logo, it also does not say I have an unlocked bootloader,

I have no fastboot no recovery no adb connect all I have is asus boot logo.......volume+-power does nothing vol down + power also does nothing.

how do you flash new firmware without adb or any type of recovery?

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuits:
hmm, I lost my tablet for nearly a month then updated CM10 when prompted having connected to my new wireless. This of course (since the Oct update) put the ROM out of kilter with the bootloader. I didn't have an old ROM on the SDCARD, and old CWM so I couldn't mount an external to get a rom on. I tried pushing a rom to the SD with adb but the drivers weren't going in right and I just couldn't get any joy. I followed this thread to fastboot the current stock JB on in the hope that it would give me a fresh start but it's hanging now at the second (glossy) ASUS logo. I really don't know where to go from here. Is it possible there was a problem with the write?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuits:
erasing the memory from the boot menu worked!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitonsxxl:
Can you tell me how you erased memory from boot menu - or maybe i understand this in different way.

I have only bootloop and it boots to CWM where i cannot mount any SD card - not internal not external.

Also Vol down + power doesnt work - there is no option to enter fastboot mode....device just bootloops and then enters CWM...

Tried to push through adb but there is no SD card to copy files. Tried different methods but cannot mount any storage...

Thanks JB update :eek:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sdc177:
8/22/12 UPDATE: My HOX has sworn off whiskey and is now leading a sober, healthy lifestyle.

So I switched to AT&T from Sprint in March and got the Note. The GPS stopped working about 5 weeks ago and about 3 weeks ago I exchanged it for a refurbished one at an AT&T repair center. The day after I got the "new" one I traded it for a HOX because I wanted something smaller that I didn't have to worry about having GPS issues.

A few hours ago I unfortunately poured a significant amount of whiskey on it. I didn't have any rice but popped out the sim card and used a hair dryer pointed in the opening. I think it's dry now and while the screen looks fine it is 95% unresponsive to touch so the phone seems to be ruined. Needless to say the water damage strip in the sim slot is bright pink.

Is it even worth begging for mercy at an AT&T store, repair center or over the phone? What might they possibly do? Anyone had a similar experience? Need advice please.

If AT&T won't do something extraordinarily nice for me I guess my only option for a new phone would be the Galaxy Nexus but even $350 will be hard to swallow. Otherwise I guess it's gambling on eBay or craigslist for a really good deal on a Nexus, HOX or GS3. Or a Note if it's a deal that's just too good to pass up. What to do, what to do....this sucks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lazarat:
Your phone might just die if you use it without first drying all the whiskey inside it. Although it might turn back on, if there still is whiskey, it will kill the circuit or whatever is inside the phone
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ieatnoobs:
You could try selling it on eBay for spare parts. Sending it for repair won't do you any good and you are likely not going to find a att store willing to exchange it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jags_the1:
your phone is high. Give it a day or so to sober up.

I dont respond touches after a whiskey either.

Since it's already marked as being water damaged do a proper cleaning of it using distilled water and getting some white rice to suck the moisture out overnight. Here's a step-by-step you might want to follow.

You borked your phone, and you expect AT&T to swallow the expense (which in turn will be passed down to its customers)?

Suck it up and buy a new phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sdc177:
Believe it or not, I acquired some rice and left the phone in it overnight and it seems to have sobered up. Now it appears the only consequence of phone's drinking binge is a tripped water damage indicator.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sdc177:
You have poor reading comprehension.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
How so? You broke your phone and are asking AT&T will do something "extraordinarily nice" for you. Anything they do for you (replace the phone, discount, early upgrade) is money out of their pockets (and ultimately all of ours).

Yes, you also mentioned just buying a new phone. Its my opinion you do that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
I did the same thing back when i had the touch pro 2. Only difference was i was driving and after ending my phone call i put my phone in my cars cup holder. Stupid me forgot that i had a open cup of coffee there. Dropped the phone right in there.

Did the rice thing and the phone wouldn't turn on. I called up HTC and told them what happened. They said to ship them the phone and pay $20 because my phone was the unlocked international model.

A week later i got a call back saying they fixed my phone and they'll be shipping it back for free.

Note: My phone didn't have any warranty because it was international, and also it was more than a year old. I was running a custom rom (NRG energy rom) that should have voided warranty.

HTC didn't charge me anything to fix the phone. I didn't go through AT&T. I went straight to HTC repair center. I don't know if the guy didn't care or it was really good customer service so you might want to try a few times. I don't know why you think it's not worth even asking. What would you lose by trying? If it doesn't work the first time have your wife/girlfriend/sister call and act like an idiot.

Site note: this awesome customer service is what convinced me to only buy HTC phones from there on (and i have).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Interesting testimony. Every other account I've heard on here is that HTC is absolutely brutal with denying warranty service, particularly for water damage. And that your better bet is to go through AT&T.

Considering your nick and avatar, it would have been funnier if the water damage to your phone was due to booze, like the OP. :)

I dropped mine in a contaminated puddle and it also became unresponsive. After awhile it finally started working and the only after effect is the pink indicator strip and my recent button no longer lights up. Other than that, it works like a champ.

Bad thing about the HOX is you can't take it apart very easily.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Komodo Rogue:
That is a very unfair/inaccurate summary!

Something ****ty happened to the OP, and he fully realizes it's his fault.

OP posts a question about the best course of action, explicitly saying that it would be amazingly kind of at&t to help him out.

He does not "...expect AT&T to swallow the expense..."

I hear what you're saying, redpoint73, but he isn't trying to con anyone (like the bleach comment) or avoid taking responsibility, the dude just wants some advice! Your suggestion to get a Gnex is a good one.

AT&T's job is to make money, they can make money by charging for repairs, make money by trying to have good customer service as a long-term investment, or maybe decide not to help because of the costs. SO, I second someone else's sentiments: might as well contact at&t and/or HTC to see if they will fix it up - I doubt it's cheap, but probably cheaper than new phone, and worse that can happen is they say "no."

If you like the Note, try to wait a while, I think the Note 2 is supposedly going to be announced sept 15. After the announcement, and again after it is actually on sale, I would expect the price of a used Note to drop significantly, $100-200. Good luck!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danny39:
I very highly doubt it, but if you talk with a manager/higher power, it's possible. I've heard stories of people talking their way out of the replacement fee.

Then again, most of those have been customers for years.

My account, for example, has been active since 1996, and we use AT&T for cell phone, home phone, tv and internet. From that we usually get our way if we talk to upper management ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal61:
I recently switched over to team win recovery from cwm. I do like the ui and functionality way better then cwm. The problem I'm having is that I cannot access my back up files from my PC via USB. When I use the file browser that is built into twrp I can see the back up files in the twrp folder. When I plug my tablet into my PC via USB and open the twrp folder it is empty. Also when I open the twrp folder in es file browser it is empty there too. I would like to store the back up on my PC rather then on my tablet. Am I missing something? I was having this same problem with titanium with backed up apps so I upgraded to the paid version and uploaded my back ups to Google drive. After that I looked in the titanium back up folder again on my PC and all the sudden the files were there when before they were not. Its very frustrating. Please help.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtrs:
I had this same problem with TWRP when I started using it a couple of days ago. I'm not rooted, just unlocked and using fastboot to load the recovery image temporarily to do backups. And when I went looking for the backup files to move to my computer, I couldn't find them. It turns out to be a permissions issue, with TWRP creating the files/directories owned and visible only to root. Not a problem if backing up to a FAT formatted sdcard, but it is a problem with the Nexus 7 since it honors permissions and ownership of all files on the "sdcard".

Two fixes that I know of, though I have only used one so far:

1) After you do the backup, open up the psuedo terminal in TWRP and manually change the permissions or owner of the files recursively. Just set the starting directory in TWRP to "/sdcard/TWRP" and do "chown -R media_rw.media_rw BACKUPS" to change the owner, or do "chmod -R og+rw BACKUPS" to change the permissions. You really only have to do one of those, and I went with the owner change. I was then able to see the backup when connected to my computer, copy the files off, and then delete them to avoid taking up space on the tablet.

2) Although I haven't tried it yet, supposedly you can backup and restore directly to/from a USB thumb drive connected via OTG cable. This would be the easiest method for me, since I want backup and restore capability but without actually storing anything on the Nexus 7. I'm going to try it with a backup tomorrow, but I read about someone doing just that thing for the same reasons in a comment on reddit.

Hopefully that answers your question and gives you a way around it. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtrs:
Just wanted to bump and let you know that the permissions issue seems to be properly resolved in the 2.2.1.5 version of TWRP. If you update then you shouldn't have to go through any crap to get at the backups.

Additionally, I tried doing a backup to a USB drive and it worked perfectly, so if you prefer that route it is definitely an option. Just make sure that you have the USB drive connected before you boot into TWRP, otherwise it doesn't notice the drive.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal61:
Thank you for the tip. I went everywhere yesterday...

Best buy, radio shack, staples etc looking for an otg cable and had no luck. I'm going to order one online today. I will give the other techniques a try today though. I'm not familiar with pseudo terminal but I'm gonna dig in anyway. That's the best thing about these gadgets for me is hacking in and figuring out. Thanks again for your help!

When I first started out with twrp I flashed 2.2.1.2 via adw. That was before I knew about the goo option in the play store. I've since upgraded to 2.2.1.5 and still having the same issue.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtrs:
I think that it only works with newly created files. So your existing backups will still have the wrong permissions, but new ones will be correct.

It's the old permissions on directory structure that will mess you up though. If you delete the "/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS" directory through TWRP, you will lose your existing backups, but then the next backup that you do should recreate the full directory path with the correct permissions on all of the files and directories. After that you shouldn't have any trouble accessing the backups. I tested that on mine just to be sure that it worked and it did fine for me.

If you don't want to lose your existing backups then just do the owner/permissions change that I mentioned before and you will have access to the old backups as well as having the new ones created with the correct permissions from the start.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal61:
Cool, that totally makes sense. Can't believe I didn't try that all ready. I will definitely make a new back up with the latest version of twrp. I'm running the same ROM and kernel as the back up that I currently have stored. Gonna give it a shot right now and let you know how it works.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal61:
No luck. That's weird. I deleted the folder SD/twrp/backups containing the back up, did another back up and still not visible on my PC or in es file browser.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtrs:
Hmm, you may have to delete "/sdcard/TWRP" as well, and just let it recreate everything. I might have changed the permissions on it already on mine, which is why it worked for me just deleting BACKUPS. I'll double-check that when I get back home and make sure.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal61:
It worked! I deleted the twrp folder all together and it worked like a charm. I'm now able to see and move the backups to my PC. Thank you very much for your help. It is greatly appreciated!

The main reason is that since every CPU is different and thus runs on different minimum voltages, presets might be unstable for a part of the users. The best thing would be to go by trial and error until you find the frequencies and voltages that suit you.
