[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitrus-:
I just had a quite hair raising experience last night. I decided to try the latest official JB coming from CM10.

As most know you can't downgrade the bootloader from the newer JB to the older ICS required by CM10 I was hesitant until a couple of days ago when Wheelie/nvflash was released. So anyway I went ahead and did the whole bootloader anti brick dump and went ahead and upgraded to JB bootloader using nvflash and latest Asus JB blob. What a disaster it was compared to nightly CM10 I say, much less responsive and lots of crap.

Well, here's were the really interesting thing started... and also me sweating like a pig :eek: So I decided I wanted to use my nvflash lifeboat to bail out and back to CM10 and ICS bootloader. However apparently there's not much info on how to use the files created by Wheelie, but I managed to figure out the command myself to write back the anti brick encrypted ICS bootloader. And went ahead with nvflash --resume --go and..... nothing. Just black screen of *death* I thought. Well I should be able to just enter APX mode and try again right? Wrong... or at least not that easy.

Normally you enter APX by booting up system as normal, but reboot (if you can, needs root or non standard rom) and holding down volume up until PC detects APX connection. Since my system was unbootable I was at a loss as to how to get back on track... Well for those of you who's used to enter APX on for example a P990/O2X knows that you have to remove the battery, hold volume up and down while connecting the USB cable. Surprise surprise opening up my TF300t and removing the battery connector beneath the CPU heat spreader and holding volume up and connecting the cable allowed me to enter APX and enter nvflash by wheelie --blob blob.img and then rewrite ICS bootloader, kernel, twrp-ics recovery and system (CM10). I then ran nvflash --resume --go and hold my breath for an almost ice chilling minute at the CM10 boot animation and then.... nothing, until I realized that it was still using the data partition filled with Asus JB crap. I rebooted into TWRP, made a factory restore and an extra format of data partition just to be sure :) And now everything is working again, after restoring apps with Titanium Backup.

Quite a story it was, but now at least I know that doing the wheelie backup has made my TF300t almost completely unbrickable. :D

wow sounds like a hard story...so without disconnecting the battery - no chance to boo into apx mode as I would guess in a soft-bricked state?

Best and already thanks in advance :)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitrus-:
Actually you could just wait until the battery runs out and then hold volume up and plug-in power, but I'm not that patient :)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fullpoweradonf:
hi !

NVFLASH require Fastboot mode no ??

And when we have no fastboot mode ?? nothing else ...
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitrus-:
Yes and no, you need fastboot and a working system with pre-JB bootloader to begin with. After that, APX is all you need which works even if you accidentally erase some of the partitions. However it's important to also make backup of these, as mentioned in the nvflash guide.

If you'd read the guide for nvflash you should know it only works if you made the bricksafe.img file with your tablet before the crash. It's encrypted with your tablets specific encryption key so my bricksafe.img would not work on yours for example. In your case only Asus can fix it.

Thanks for this info but I can't help wondering if you have now managed to go from JB to ICS using Nvflash without disconnecting the battery?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herschwolf:
And for those of us that don't want to have to deal with learning how to take the system apart? I've had way too many failures of devices I've tried to repair by cracking the case, I've learned never to try unless I'm comfortable with losing the whole thing. My tablet is not one I'm wanting to lose, but then again if it won't boot, what do I have to lose right?

where is the start bottom on this thing

i really eish i could acces the desptop faster any ideas
[Windows 8 General] Lesicnik1:
Its still in the lower left corner.
[Windows 8 General] gopzzz:
1.Go to the left lower corner and place ur cursor...

2.If ur keypad has a key for windows then press it...

3.Place or cursor on the right lower corner to highlight a tab with settings & other controls, one of which is start menu...

4. Sometimes press ESC key...
[Windows 8 General] mrej201:
i mean if i could access the destop faster instead of start screen
[Windows 8 General] buluba89:
Winkey -d
[Windows 8 General] lumpaywk:
Or put the desktop as the first thing in the start screen (top left) then hit enter. Desktop bang faster than any other version of windows by a long way. Also if you don't like going into the corner to launch the start screen ie get to your programs then download the zip file from here -

http://www.7tutorials.com/download-shortcut-windows-8-start-screen-desktop

It creates a program that's just a link to the start menu as you cant add shortcuts it is compiled as an exe.

This is esp good on multi monitor setups as with the hot corner it can be a little bit of a fiddle to get it to launch.
[Windows 8 General] Talderon:
Little Known Feature for users with Multi-Monitors:

When you need to hit a corner on a monitor that borders another monitor, it can be tricky to hit just right.

Don't try to be so precise. Just fling your mouse to any corner and it will "catch" the cursor and bring up the Charm or App List (Start Screen Button).

What I normally do is throw my pointer at the top or bottom and sling it to the side I need. It gets "caught" and acts like you are parked in a corner.

It's a small area that will catch it (6x6 pix), but it works really well.

Thanks!
[Windows 8 General] lumpaywk:
It works better if you fling down and not so much to the corner. tbh I personally don't find it an issue now as I have programmed by mouse button but it did wind me up and I have has to put the icon on a couple of users. Its not so much that its tricky or even slow its just I like to fling myself about the os so I hate anything that is precise with the mouse lol, I think that's why I love the new start screen so much, Big fat squares instead of a list :) I find myself opening stuff before I even realized.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lm that guy:
Hi everyone, this has been bothering me for some time now, actually since the first time i turned on my device.

As you can see from the images below, the first screenshot is of my lockscreen. On the right side you can see a huge white distorted image. So i was wondering if this was normal. It looks as though someone sat on my screen and mashed all the colors out making the right side color look washed out. Actually the whole screen looks washed compared to the homescreen.

Then the second image is my actual homescreen and it appears normal, so what gives? I have never seen this before.

Lockscreen:

Homescreen:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lm that guy:
Oh noes, it really only shows up with dark images so maybe other people have it but just dont know it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
Honestly could just be an artifact caused the background you use. Try a different one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lm that guy:
All black image. The same white spots. Its intresting to note that i have a setup where i swipe to unlock (the ripple affect) then it goes to the secutity screen where i do my pattern to unlock. This aswell shows no white spots and pictures are normal.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iofthestorm:
There are actual screenshots right, not pictures taken of the screen? If it was a hardware defect it wouldn't show up in screenshots because to the software it would seem as if the screen was fully black. I would guess it's part of the "water" effect.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lm that guy:
Yes, they are screensots taken using the device. Images do seem lower quality in the water screen compared to the homescreen, so i guess its just supposed to be that way.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
I still vote for haunted.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sledgie:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Mate, the whole screen has that pattern, it's just that there's a heap of white writing on the left to distract from it. Look again....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lm that guy:
Okay good to know im not the only one.

Oh and btw what makes my tablet look haunted? I choose the wallpaper as a demonstration cause you can really see the white spots pop out

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:

Dear Valued users

Which version of unofficial android do you advice me to use? keeing in mind that it is fully functional and nothing is missing.

Thanks
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
The question or which ROM is the stablest is one of those very subjective things. "Stable" means different things to different people, though the Gingerbread ROMs tend to be the most bug-free and feature-complete. There is a ROM index at the development forum listing most of the ROMs available here. Just try a few for yourself.
[Desire HD General] Radid:
Well Ok then I mean , Which is the most feature complete??
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Like I told you, the Gingerbread ROMs (though the ICS ones are also quite stable and the JB ones are getting there). Beyond that, I strongly recommend that you try several out for yourself. The development forum's index will be a good resource. Additionally, each ROM's thread's first post will describe the highlights of that particular ROM. The most active ROMs will be clustered around the top of the dev forum.
[Desire HD General] Radid:
Thanks pal
[Desire HD General] KeshavJave:
I have used BlackOut Incredible v3.1, Sabsa Prime v5.0 and TrickDroid v1.1.1.. I advise you to use TricDroid if you want sense 4 and BlackOut Incredible if you want sense 3.6. Both are stable.:laugh:
[Desire HD General] Grant Barker:
Here is an up-to-date list of HTC Desire HD Custom ROMs from XDA.

Here are a few older custom ROM screenshots.

I enjoyed MIUI (Gingerbread version) for ages. The ICS version is also good. Many people like CyanogenMod. As people have said, it's a personal thing based on how you enjoy the feel and look of the UI.

I currently enjoy using Blackout ICS Incredible v3.1.0 which is my first HTC Sense ROM in a long time.

Hopefully ROM threads include screenshots for you to get an idea of things. For the other specs or included or missing things, you need to read the thread.

Of course all of the Desire HD XDA ROMS are listed in the Desire HD Android Development section.

There is no entitlement on the USB tethering feature and it actually loads a RNDIS driver in windows when you select the option for USB tethering. It shares the connection with the PC without a DUN connection and does not use the tethered NAI for external data.

[A7 General] 6Leinad6:
Simply upgrading your tablet is not anywhere near as easy as you think it is. You need to flash a custom ROM, changing your tablets firmware. Currently, we do have a couple of ROMs available but each of them has something not working correctly. Also, please note that there are two elocity tablets. One is the A7, and one is the A7+. If you try to flash a ROM intended for the A7 onto the A7+, you will brick your tablet, rendering it completely useless. In other words, i would reccomend reading around these forums and searching for details about ROMs. If you still want Homeycomb after reading up on the facts, then there is a post here by Dexter that will give you a verry buggy version of Honeycomb. Jam4 over at Tablet Roms is actually working on stabilizing a HC ROM right now for the A7+, andd if you want to wait a little you could get that ROM.
