[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Mistake 1: google account has nothing to do with unlocking. If you have fastboot access you're unlocked! so forget mistake 1 and 4

Mistake 2: no comment except that i don't understand what instructions you followed from the net, the cmd part... A backup is performed within CWM ... Nevertheless you're bricked so it isn't very important.

Mistake 3: a big mess in your head. If you just unlocked and flashed cwm it's logical that you are not rooted in your ROM. CWM has nothing to do or care with root !! CWM is totally independant from the ROM, it has by default root power as it runs froms a different partition and deals with /system and /data etc from 'outside'.

You gain root by either flashing a custom ROM (they are all rooted) or flashing the super user itself only (SU.zip).

Mistake 4: don't use cwm on that device.

Mistake 5: you are a monkey typer.... STOP trying every crap you find 'on the net' ! You seem to have quite blurred knowledge of what is an android device, so be extremelly carefull or you'll end with a real hard bricked prime.

Prime is very specific, don't use things that have not been designed specifically for it.

You are in recovery bootloop, see in dev section the unbrick thread (in stickies threads), option 1a.

Don't use cwm.

Use TWRP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Okay so you messed up... slightly... no big deal... here is what you do..

From the sounds of it you have no rom atm... no big deal... download a rom.. i suggest blackbean or eos...

blackbean found here... http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/topi...ackbean-(8-15)

eos found here.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1782413

Download and install http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1426502 naked drivers.... follow the instructions...

I prefer blackbean... anyways.... now download nvflash from here http://androidroot.mobi/?p=452

Unzip the file.. put your rom where you find adb.exe shoudl be in C:\nvflash\tf201_nvflashpack if you put the file in C:

*******Now.... boot to recovery... connect tab to the pc.... with the windows open (nvflashpack) clcik in the window... press and hold shift button the right clcik mouse and select open command prompt here... this should give you the command prompt.

Now copy this adb devices right click in the command prompt window and paste... press enter... you should see your transformer...

now type adb push /name of rom you downloaded .zip/ sdcard

This should push the rom to your tab... it will take about 5 minutes be patient....

Install the zip through cwm....

Now there is a chance this does not work.. don't worry... if it doesn't work .. go here ....http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1615990 this is twrp.... download then follow the fastboot install instructions

At this point you probably want to follow the nvflash instructions to install the custom bootloader since twrp says it needs it... go back here and follow instructions... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1774352

start again from ******now boot to recovery....

After you accomplish this, you should complete the nvflash instructions and make your backups...

Yes it does seem like a lot... but unless you want to sell me a paper weight for $5 you need to complete this... if you need further assistance write here or pm me..... good luck Luke... may the force be with you...

A helpfull answer without trolling? really.. Whats this world coming to!!

anyway.. I added a "thank you" even though I didnt brick my prime ( yet )
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Your welcome ... I think.... did I get you out of a jam?

I dont troll I try to help people from what i have experienced..... I myself have made some questionable decisions.... just figure since I have learned from them .. no reason to make others suffer through needless anxiety......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mithrandir007:
The others already answered everything else, but here I'm wondering if it's not just a simple mistake.

If I remember correctly, there are 2 options in CMW to flash a zip file : either an update.zip file which has to be in a specific directory, or choose the file from the storage.

My guess is that you tried the first option which returned an error because you don't have an update.zip file.

Have you tried browsing to the ROM file manually?

Besides that, you might want to setup NVFlash on your device (be sure to ask for help in the NVFlash thread if you have any doubt about one of the steps, so you don't end up with a brick).

The NVFlash thread is here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1774352

Since you don't seem to understand Android very well, having NVFlash would at least protect you from most (if not all) software bricks in case you make a bigger mistake like flash an Official Asus ROM on your unlocked device..

Hopefully this will help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Very valid point Mithrandir007.... just to be cleear when following the nvflash instructions.... follow step by step.... all the way to the end..... from this thread http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/ dont stop until you see the statement ... coming soon... then you are actually done....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] big time noob:
Thanks

Thank you guys for your help, and not being too hard on me...except maybe the first guy.

I will try those things when I get back from work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] big time noob:
Seriously...

I ask this next question with a scared expression on my face...what if the TF201 is not taking a charge now?

Last night it would boot into clockworkmod, and I did not plug it in, so it just sat there burning battery in clockworkmod screen.

Today, I go to plug it into the usb, and I briefly get the screen that shows the battery in the red, then it fades out.

I am going to try plugging it into the wall when I get home, but I am scared that I might not get the chance to fix my device.

:confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
It comes vaguely in my mind that I read something about cwm not supporting charging but I'm not sure.

If the battery is drained completely it will need several minutes with wall charger to come back to life.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rr0yy:
You are really messed up. Download a Rom from development section.. put it in your Sdcard.

First plug your phone to charger.. let it charge for an hour.

When your mobile switches ON.

Enter CWM recovery or anyone you have.. go to mount option, wipe everything except sdcard. Go to advance and wipe dalvik cache.. then go to Install zip from sdcard option in it.. select the downloaded file.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Some usb connections don't charge... my pc at work is like that.... or they charge so little that it barely makes a difference. Plug it into the wall for at least a hour... preferably longer since you are going to be doing things that may not work out so well if the battery dies in the middle of things.... Also given how frail the charger socket is, unless you have it sitting on a flat surface, I wouldn't attempt doing the work while it is plugged in... Would want you to get the software fixed and you bust up the charging socket or cable...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Prime needs 15 volts to charge, USB only delivers 5, so it's discharging while plugged to an USB most of the time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
Don't know how to fix your CWM problem but I do know the Prime will charge on a USB port if it's turned off. It does take a very long time though.

From the TF201 manual:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] big time noob:
Might help

Thanks for the response. On the nvflash page it says NOTE: THIS REQUIRES A NON-BRICKED AND UNLOCKED DEVICE. IT WON'T WORK ON ALREADY BRICKED DEVICES

Does that mean me? If so, I might be stuck.

I tried installing with the update.zip option, didn't work. I also tried installing by browsing, but weirdly, it does not give me the options of any of the roms I have on the SD card...when the prime was stock, it saw the files on the SD card, but now it just shows me options of several folders that do not actually exist, a couple of subfolders, but no actual files or zip files.

When I boot (holding the power and down volume button) The message basically says, The device is unlocked, Android cardhu-user bootloader. Says something about the version I was running, .28, and that it is looking for an ota update. At the bottom, it says booting recovery kernel image. Then it loads clockworkmod.

I installed the naked drivers, so I can now see the Android ADB interface on my windows device manager. I cannot see the device as one of the drives from windows explorer.

I hope that info helps. What do you think? How screwed am I still?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] big time noob:
The options I get there are:

format system

format cache

format staging

format data

Which one do I pick? All of them?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Nope.. none of them.... in cwm you have update from zip... or install zip file (or something like that) you want the one that doesn't say update.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Nope.. none of them.... in cwm you have update from zip... or install zip file (or something like that) you want the one that doesn't say update.....

The image is from 5.5 but it says install zip from sdcard... if you adb push the rom there you will be able to install...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] big time noob:
2 things:

1. I cannot see the sd card in the mount/unmount area of CWM. I feel like this is a big part of my problem.

2. The instructions I see for nvflash involve fastboot. I could be wrong, but if I cannot get to the fastboot screen on my prime, how can I run the fastboot command lines? I can only get to the cwm screens.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Attached 2.1.2 twrp....give it a go....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] big time noob:
Thanks.

Do you happen to know where the most idiot-proof install instructions would be?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mithrandir007:
I don't think you're bricked, I just think you don't have a ROM installed right now (or not correctly installed at least).

When browsing your SD Card, you say you don't see the folders that are supposed to be on the SD Card, but other folders. Do you have a microSD card installed?

If so, are you sure you're not browsing the Prime's internal memory although you've put the ROM file on the microSD card?

I think there's an option to browse the external SD card as well in CMW, I'm not sure what it's called, but it should be in the same menu as "Install zip from SD Card", though this might depend on the version of CMW you're using (I remember using that on my Galaxy S3, but haven't put a microSD in the Prime, so I haven't looked for it on my Prime).

If none of that works, since you seem to have ADB working, you should push a ROM through ADB instead (check the thread for information on that).

I hope this helps..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
It was mentioned earlier on that he has brick type 1a and I haven't read that he has resolved this yet. Everyone is giving him instructions to try to flash a rom but he first has to stop himself bootlooping to recovery.

Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514088 and follow the instructions for brick type 1a.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] big time noob:
Progress! Thank you.

The 1a thing is what I did not get. Now I am at the splash screen.

I think I just need to figure out how to load a rom from adb now (since I now know what people mean by going to adb).

Is that right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] big time noob:
Scratch that. The stock rom loaded!

Now, I just need to properly root the device and load a custom rom.

Thanks for your help. Especially eyeballer in the PMB.

Any direction to the best link for me to properly root my tf201 would be appreciated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] big time noob:
Getting Fastboot

It seems like everyone tells me to do fastboot for nvflash.

I know that is what is supposed to happen.

My issue is that when I power up the device, holding the volume down key, and then hit the up volume at the correct time, the device boots to clockworkmod.

How do I get rid of CWM, and get fastboot back so that I can use nvflash?

Is there something else I am missing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Ok, your getting too many conflicting responses and are getting confused.

To get into fastboot you don't press the volume up at all.. You just do the voume down button and when that message appears saying hit volume up ignore it. After 5 seconds you will see 3 icons. Use volume up and down to move to the usb icon (in the middle) and then hit power to go to fastboot.

Next, you don't need to install root yet.. The custom rom will have root built in.

Also I wouldn't bother putting nvflash on at mo. Just flash a custom rom and go from there. Go into your rom that works at the moment and enable USB Debugging in developer options.

Now put the rom you want to flash on the "Internal" sd card not an external one. (the one that isn't really an sd card at all but the internal memory of the prime)

Go into clockworkmod and make a backup so you have something to go back to if anything goes wrong. Next do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data, wipe system.

Now find the zip file that you placed on the internal sd card and install it.

Come back if you encounter any probs..

HTH
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] big time noob:
Thanks.

It got to the correct screen.

I thought I got that instruction from the nvflash installation page.

The internal SD card has me confused. I thought there was just the internal memory and the sd card (external). The internal memory is called sdcard?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Yes, the internal memory is called sdcard. Any real card you insert will come under "Removable" folder.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] big time noob:
Thank you. Makes sense as to why it would not work. Naming it sdcard seems a little retarded to me though.

Will try when I get home from work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] big time noob:
Update

So by some act of god, without successfully doing nvflash, I got blackbean to load from CWM.

It was in the flash screen forever, and I thought I was stuck, then I did a factory reset from CWM, and it loaded into blackbean.

Out of the woods?

I guess we will see. Thanks for your help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Only thing I would do atm.... is fastboot flash the twrp file I attached... yes it is an older version but doesn't require the mobi custom bootloader.... unless you dont intend on flashing anything else.... cwm is just a recipe for trouble imo......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mithrandir007:
Glad you got it working again :)

Hopefully it'll stay that way now!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] big time noob:
Part of me wants to just be done where I am.

The more likely case is that I will try what you are talking about.

To clarify the fastboot flash or twrp, can you point me to a link that walks me through doing that with the older version?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
You don't need to flash twrp thru fastboot.

I am linking you to a zip I made that you can flash in clockworkmod and it will install it for you.

This is the latest version that doesn't require nvflash.

Just install it the same as you would a rom then restart tablet and go back into recovery.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] DUBVGALAXY:
Hey guys I'm looking if there's a screen protector that covers just the screen. I'm looking to order a matte black decal to cover the front of the phone around the screen to match my black UAG case (favorite case so far btw, its amazing!!! If you havent tried it your really should. 8th case is the charm? Lol). But right now I have the spigen curved screen protector on and I still want one when I put the from decal on just wondering what you guys would recommend. I'm a little hesitant to put a screen protector over the skin or vice versa. Or is there any skins that include a screen protector??

PS the curved screen protector works awesome with this case. You can't even tell there's one on there and there is no bubbling or edges being pushed up. I will post more about this in the UAG case forum when I get a chance to get some pics and stuff.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Cdjones187:
Best I can think of would be getting a universal screen protector. Downfall is they aren't going to be as good as the name brand protectors, but pretty much like the cheap generic china made protectors you get off of ebay.

Upside is they usually come with multiple (3-5) sheets that you can cut out your self. Otherwise I was unable to find exactly what your looking for (nor heard of any). Maybe someone else has though, wait and see.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KamikazeChris:
So, I've had my phone for probably about a year or maybe longer, Rooted it when I first got it, came from an Eris...I flashed a few different ROMs then kinda settled and have been out of it for quite some time now...

But I'm back...and I've got a question, back when I was flashing ROMs often, I couldn't find one that wouldn't drop network connections while using wifi/wifi tether.

Has this issue been resolved? It didn't seem like it was ever a really big issue with most, before, so when I asked about it months ago, no one said much, but I'm hoping now, with newer releases of ROMs someone will have some more info on this issue?

Thanks in advance...

p.s.

currently I'm running TSM Bullet Vivow 1.4 and haven't flashed anything for a good 8 months and I'm gettin buggy and wanna upgrade to something fancy, fast and doesn't drop service...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mobilecrackers:
You need to get a update of your firmware
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KamikazeChris:
I'm still a newb on a lot of stuff...how do I go about doing that?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mobilecrackers:
Just google
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KamikazeChris:
Are you referring to a radio update? Last I checked, that wasn't the issue and I tried different radios with no results
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
Kamikaze - I experienced this as well on Bullet, is it while you are on the phone and the call drops out for a few seconds? I think it has to do with the modified boot.img that the port uses.

This is a list of what worked without connection issues for me.

- Unoffical CM9 by Aeroevan

- Nitsuj's stock port for our phone

- Mikrunny (I think but cant remember)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
Yeah, it is a problem with ROMs that are ported. The only ROM this doesn't happen on for me is Justin's stock/stock-modified ROM.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] EVoorhees:
I always found that all ported ROMs worked for me because I had the latest OEM radio. But, when I had the leaked ROM for the DINC2 it said to update a radio but I didn't and the WiFi and data signals kept over writing reach other.

So, its just a thing with the radio.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ThePhantom97:
My experience has been less than pleasant with my signal on my Inc2. I have been all over google trying to find a way to boost my signal for the Inc2. I have only had my Inc2 for a few months and just rooted a few weeks ago. Mine problem is not a result of having WiFi on/off, mine is just a week signal period (-95 dBm to -105 dBm). From what I found through my search is people modifying the back cover with foil/copper wire and tape, raising the cleaning the contacts for the antenna, which I have tried all of these as well. I am considering buying a new cover just to see if I can get a better signal as everything I have tried has failed to boost my signal. I have tried *22891 to update my PRL as well as toggling the settings from CDMA only PRL and CDMA/GSM PRL. If anyone finds the magic trick to boost signal strength I am open to other suggestions.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
Are you s-off, and if so are you on a more recent radio?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ThePhantom97:
I am s-off and I am on the 1.09.01.0312 radio.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
Then I don't have any advice for you. Do you get bad data speeds or drop calls, or is it just the numbers that bother you?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ThePhantom97:
Data speeds are a bit slow but that is not really a problem as I connect to wifi most of the time. The major problem is I get grumbled voices a lot when the signal drops below -100 and I have to change rooms to continue the conversations, only a dropped call from time to time, but I get people telling me they tried to call me but my phone didn't ring and I think that is a result of the low signal strength. I think this is a hardware problem more so then a software/rom issue because a lot of people have an issue with low signal with the Inc2 I found searching on the Verizon forums. I do appreciate you taking time to inquire.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
Looking for a lower number would prove challenging unless you are right next to a Verizon tower. I know this because at work we have one on premises and my signal goes to 40 to 60 dbm.

Of course, at home, my signal ranges from 85 to 105 dbm but experience no dropped calls.

Ever since I got my first verizon phone in 2001 the signal quality has mostly measured (on every phone) at approx 85 to 105.

And this is living in two metropolitan cities. I wouldnt give it that much thought unless you are dropping calls. Upgrading the radio is a good idea though as well as PRL after upgrading radio.

Edit: Just realized your post was answered. I would call Verizon and inform them of the call drops and ask them to log them. Could be your unit.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] yolo2die:
Which rom are you referring to exactly? Link to thread would be nice Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] KamikazeChris:
Yeah, just an update, nothing has cured the issue, updated both firmware and radio with the lastest leak ROM when it came out last month, then switched to different CM ROMs and those were horrible with the toggling of wifi hot spot signal and mobile network, so I went back to bullet and am just living with the random toggling off of wifi/network
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] yolo2die:
I had been bouncing around on alot of the ICS rom's but couldn't seem to find one that this issue was gone. I think it is kernel related.

Since I want my phone to not have this issue I went back to GB for now which for me I didn't want to but this rom works just flawless for me.

GB Sense M 5.0.1 Ext4 Version w/ Drell's #21 Kernel w/ Sense 3 Patch v5.0

Was going to try cm7.2 next since I have always liked non-sense roms.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jhnsok:
I really hate it when roms use the recent apps button as the menu.

how would i go about making it like sense where the long press brings up menu.

its CM10 based so maybe a cm10 mod would work?
