[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Assuming the 3d you got replaced was a refurb. If that's the case, those only come with 90 day warranties.

So your only options are to pay the deductible and get a replacement through Asurion, or to ask sprint for an early upgrade and pay for a new phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] TheMattMercy:
I think it was new because I got it from sprint directly and they said it was new since I reported it within the first week... The phone had all the screen film, was unscratched and everything and the box was even sealed with the sticker...
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
In that case, the phone would carry the full 1 year warranty from the purchase date of the original, meaning you are still in warranty. Dead spots on the screen are hardware failures, so as long as the phone has no physical or water damage, any sprint corporate store should order you a refurb 3vo.

Here is my experience and suggestion

Before I update to JB, I do a factory reset and then let system pick up the JB firmware and update

I notice there is a huge difference on browsing. The scrolling on default browser and Chrome was laggy on ICS and I had to use boat browser, but now both JB browser and Chrome browsing become very smooth.

OHi everyone,

I bought my nexus 7 on saturday, it was charge at 40%, I fully charged it and ever since my battery status is always at 100% so i waited until sunday afternoon and i turned off itself, when i plugged it in it showed again 100%, any idea of what's happening ?

I rooted it and tried to wipe battery stats but it didn't work, my nexus 7 is a C9O for what it worth.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GunnerMC:
Up, can it be a material problem knowing that while it first discharged the battery level seemed perfectly accurate?

From the moment you root a device ..or even worse ....root & install a custom rom & kernel ...Samsung doesnt even know the device exists anymore ...so of course Kies won't work ...that's what the Yellow Warning at boot up ..is all about

Its basically alerting you .....your warranty is now void ...no more support from Samsung ....your actions can change system files ...in return damage the OS so bad that it can never recover ....only sending the device back to Samsung or other official service center may fix it ...but no guarantee ....etc .....& you need to unroot... before you can do that ....

but if the device crashes & won't recover because the OS has been damaged ...then you will never be able to unroot ...

Root is the ability to alter the OS ....SuperUser Access "Administrator "

No Root ....basically Samsung is the SU or Admin :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sergiukz:
and the last question. if i upgrade with that bvlph on sammobile i can root it again with exenple ics. or i must find that firmware here?

Hahaha.

This is weird.

I found out that I was running latest 4.0.3 update - TW, then I tried downloading the same update for WW, and it installed perfect, and now its downloading JB.

Is it because my tablet is unlocked or what?

[Asus Transformer TF700] SpooRancher:
I've just done the JB update on my TF700, and it's now dead... :crying:

Update downloaded OK, went into the update process. Seemed to go fine. Did the "Optimising applications" bit, rebooted, and stuck on the boot screen with the spinnywheel.

I let that run for half-an-hour (tablet was getting very warm) then did a paper-clip reset (no response to buttons). Same thing, won't boot.

It's an unmodded device apart from being rooted. I've encrypted the storage; I've set the default browser to Dolphin. I have Titanium installed, but not frozen any apps.

Suggestions for how to recver from this gratefully received ....

Thanks

Alan

[UPDATE: Oh, and I did not have the tablet in the dock when I updated. Significant??]
[Asus Transformer TF700] Piruelo:
Same problem here. Please help!!

Did the update and it went all ok.. untill first reboot (stuck on boot screen with the spinnywheel).

Unmodded rooted device. Tried cold boot, but nothing changes.

Tried to download some files for recovery and didn´t work:

TF700T WW_10.4.4.16-20120927 OTA.zip

WW_epad-user-9.4.5.30.zip

any ideas?
[Asus Transformer TF700] b3z:
try booting into bootloader and selecting the "wipe data" option. This will delete all your files on the devices but will also mean you can use it again :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
To recover from that just wait until Asus post the full JB update on their site and use that to do a Factory Restore with stock recovery (follow the how-to guide in my signature for more details).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Piruelo:
Thanks!!

Will the 'Factory Restore with stock recovery' erase my internal storage?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
It shouldn't wipe the sdcard, only the Wipe Data option from the stock recovery should do that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SpooRancher:
Thanks for that.

A newbie question, though (I'm a Windows dev, and Android is quite new to me) - what would happen if did this with the .30 ICS firmware with the device in this state?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
You can try to do that,but i guess it will just fail to install...You could also try the "Wipe Data" thing from the recovery ,but i don't think it will work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SpooRancher:
OK, many thanks. I'll give it a go - otherwise it's just wait for Asus to post the files :rolleyes:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nikos2k:
I have the same exact problem.

Most probably, it's because of the encryption.

Perhaps ASUS thought that nobody would use Android encryption ...
[Asus Transformer TF700] 0x000:
i have exactly the same problem, was stock and only rooted. i did a backup with titanium backup and one of my internal sdcard via the dock sdcard and adb now but i'm still trying to find a way to boot without wiping because i fear that i will lose root and so goes my titanium backup..

anyways, it seems i've got adb access (no root because su crashes) during this neverending spinning wheel. i've dumped logcat during the boot process. maybe someone has a suggestion what's wrong here? i have a good understanding of linux but not the logcat output or android boot phase. it seems many services can't find files and many things fail (wifi, gps, tethering, ...), no idea if that's also the case for a valid boot, and then after some time nearly all services die.

logcat part1: http://pastebin.com/HTSULj59

logcat part2: http://pastebin.com/ncgjzwsY

logcat part3: http://pastebin.com/071hWwRm

i also tried to wipe cache via fastboot, but it didn't help.

i also think it has to do with encryption because it says something like:

"E/VoldConnector( 401): NDC Command {6 cryptfs checkpw $pwd} took too long (10418ms)" and then services get restarted or die
[Asus Transformer TF700] scott.m:
Oops
[Asus Transformer TF700] SpooRancher:
Does this imply that it's not possible to recover from this without completely resetting the SD card? Does a Wipe Data do that?

Two extra things I've thought of here: I changed the encryption password from screen lock PIN to something else with EncPasswdChange; however, the "enter encryption password" screen accepted the correct password and rejected anything else. I also have BusyBox installed.

Personally I'm not bothered about having to reset everything - I'm sure JB will be rootable soon, and I have no data I care about. Very annoying for those that do have valuable stuff, though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SpooRancher:
ASUS have the JB files on their website now (US and WW SKUs) [Sorry, system won't let me post a link...]
[Asus Transformer TF700] Piruelo:

Stock, locked and rooted. Supersu+voodoo, unencrypted.

After update I had extreme laggyness only after a sleep. Cold boot seems to have fixed that.

I would like to encrypt. Has anyone successfully encrypted AFTER updating?
[Asus Transformer TF700] SpooRancher:
I've managed to unbrick mine too :)

However :( I had to do a Wipe Data - trying without gave me the dead android with the red triangle as soon as the upgrade started.

Never mind, it's back and running JB. There wasn't any data on it I cared about, so apart from losing root I'm happy.

Thanks for all the advice, everyone. Very much appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] 0x000:
i've also tried to fix the problem in recovery by using the zip file posted on the asus servers. it did something, had some blue progress bar, then it rebooted, had to enter my encryption password and.. it did not work :crying: still spinning wheel and it hangs. i can still use adb, my old su binary is gone, but i'm stuck as i don't want to wipe my data. i need root for using titanium backup again. and yeah, i don't want to unlock for now too :/

did it work for anyone who has their tablet encrypted?

[edit]

i've tried to downgrade to ICS .30 firmware via recovery method and it worked (although i'm not unlocked). it did wipe my whole data though and the tablet is not encrypted anymore. at least i can root again now, upgrade to JB and then encrypt (i hope..)

[/edit]
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nikos2k:
was your internal storage encrypted?

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

How did u downgrade to ICS?

did u placed the .zip from asus again in sd card and powered on with pressing volume donw?
[Asus Transformer TF700] 0x000:
yes, i placed the (extracted & renamed) zip from asus to my external microsd card and used stock recovery (volume down).

i've already installed JB now with root and i'm currently restoring my apps with titanium backup :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nikos2k:
did u try to select the icon "WIPE DATA" from the four icons before installing ics and failed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] 0x000:
no i did not select the "wipe data" icon because i actually didn't want to wipe anything. i just used the .30 firmware zip file, but it did a wipe nevertheless. at least i could make a backup of the internal sdcard and my apps so i'm happy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Just for my knowledge,

1. What name you renamed to?

2. You used stock recovery, select install then browse to the file and run it?

3. After you re root on .30 then upgrade back to JB (using same method) with Voodoo OTA you able to keep root without issue?

Thanks,
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nikos2k:
how did u make a backup of th internal sdcard?

Was n't it encrypted?
[Asus Transformer TF700] 0x000:
yes it was encrypted, but as i said i was able to connect to the tablet via ADB during this spinning wheel "lockup" (which happend after entering the passphrase so the /data partition got unlocked). it didn't automount my external microsd card in the tablet BUT it mounted my sdcard from the dock. hence i copied all my internal sdcard data to my external dock sdcard :)

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

1) i extracted WW_epad_user_9_4_5_30_20120907_UpdateLauncher.zip and got WW_epad-user-9.4.5.30.zip. then i renamed WW_epad-user-9.4.5.30.zip to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip and copied it to my microsd.

2) used stock recovery (power + vol down), there i chose the icon "RCK"

3) i was back on firmware .30 through this method, rooted with debugfs, verfied root works, used Voodoo RootKepper and then ugpraded again to JB. so far i had a minor problem with root and it helped re-installing superuser and granting superuser root access again. i was able to successfully use titanium backup to restore my apps.

tf700 won't boot after JB upgrade

I am having the exact same problem (tf700). Is the full JB update what is on the Asus site under firmware? Currently 10.4.4.16 and 9.4.5.30 among others are listed. I tried the instructions from your sig under "Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with stock recovery" using both versions. I get the same result when running recovery, just the image of a dead android.

I renamed the extracted zip file (not the blob), which is how I read the instructions.

Is there still a full JB update coming, or am I doing something wrong? I would like to recover as is, but do not mind wiping and starting over.

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Many instructions are outdated and yes, the full version is posted on Asus website. Make sure you download the right version (10.4.4.16, 9.4.5.30)for the right region(US, TW, WW etc...) I can help you if you provide the following info:

1. Your device rooted/unlocked?

2. What version you're running currently?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ehj666:
Got it. I read the instructions too literally and neglected to keep the .zip extension on the file. I was first able to install ICS and redid it with JB. Both successfully.

Like the other people in this thread it is unlocked, but otherwise unmodified and was using encryption.

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] SpooRancher:
Umm. I did mine without the .zip extension. Perhaps it doesn't matter?

Might be worth some clarification in the main instructions topic - especially remembering that Windows hides extensions by default and preserves them across a rename. I have Windows set to reveal extensions, and explicitly removed it.

to those who had the tablet encrypted and the upgrade failed but have now successfully installed JB: did you re-encrypt your tablet and did it work properly? :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] doesthisdefineme:
Jelly Bean update breaks encryption!

I tried re-encrypting after the data wipe, and as soon as the system reboots following the encryption, it hangs in the same spot. Another 2 hours wasted!

I called Asus to 'inform' them of this problem and of course they want me to send in my tablet. This is happening to 3 of our TF700's, so it is obviously not a hardware problem. The idiot still wanted to set up 3 RMAs for us. Unbelievable! I asked to speak with a supervisor who seemed to understand a little more, but still would not admit there was any problem.

I encourage ALL OF YOU to call in and open cases up for this same thing otherwise I don't believe Asus will ever fix it. The number I called was 877-339-2787 and it took about 10 minutes to get a case number and a promise of a return call from the 'escalation' department.

Maybe if they get 20 cases opened up for this same problem they just might realize they have an issue. Let's hope at least.
[Asus Transformer TF700] 0x000:
Thanks very much for the info! The failed ICS upgrade also took me two evenings to recover :mad:
[Asus Transformer TF700] imwithid:
All I can suggest is patience. My update on Saturday was a disaster. It took over 8 hours to fix this problem and in the end, it was simple (thinking back to my childhood days of the Blue Lander from The Guardian Legend on the NES): "Wait, wait, wait forever.”

When I got my TF700, the first day it came out, the first thing I did was to charge it and then encrypt it. The problem was that after the OTA update, I could not get into the device. No problem, I had just started using it so there was no data to lose, so I wiped the data, started over, and then encrypted the device.

This time, however, I had important documents and photos on the device. A data wipe was an absolute last option. I searched the web for over an hour trying to find info on a solution. I resorted to calling ASUS support and just as I got on the phone with a technician, the tablet start screen showed up. So what do I do? Follow his advice and TURN OFF the tablet. STUPID! I could have copied my data and then wiped the damn thing. Six hours later, after trying to boot several different ways, trying to remember how I got in the first time, I got in.

I suspect there may be different safe modes (not sure, probably not, but I do not know much about how Android, using linux kernels, and these tablets work in tandem), as holding the Power Button + Volume Down is one, however, you can reboot and when the spinning wheel shows up, hold down Volume Down and at the decryption prompt, it will state "Safe Mode" in the bottom left. It was this that worked for me, although I had to let it boot for well over an hour without it being plugged into the charger, with no external memory cards in the unit.

I copied my data and then wiped the damn thing.

When new firmware is available and if your drive is encrypted, make a complete backup of your system. Also, when upgrading encrypted systems, the results have been disasterous the last two major updates. I'll have to find a way to contact ASUS regarding this problem.

In the end, Jelly Bean is working great now, however, I'm weary now of encrypting the device as I may not have the luxury of time as I did this weekend. I'd rather encrypt my external memory, however, do not know how to do this yet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewf8:
Jelly Bean update breaks encryption!

Tried to IM/Chat with Asus Support but it was worthless. Getting ready to wipe and restart. I'm really disappointed. Update - I too performed a data wipe and re-install. I re-encrypted and it hangs in the same exact spot. this sucks!
[HTC Rezound] bigbabys:
so first off, I'm S-ON and currently running viper rez 1.03. This is a sense 4.0 rom on ICS. It uses aroma installer and installs everything for you and makes a PH8 image to flash in hboot. It works great.

So I wanted to try newts because everyone says it is great, so I downloaded NeWts-OnE-XxX-RLS-3.1.2-Odex-signed.zip wiped data/cache/dalvik, then I installed it. After the install finished I rebooted to bootloader and did fastboot flash boot boot.img (the boot.img exracted from the above .zip)

and it said success. So then I reboot the phone, and everything seems to work except sound. And if I do anything that requires sound (such as using the volume rocker) instead of making a noise, the phone freezes and reboots.

Is there something I am doing wrong? I can't figure this out for the life of me.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
Did you check the MD5's and make sure you had a good download? If so, I would reboot to recovery, wipe data, cache, dalvik, as well as system. There might have been audio libs or something like that from Viper that interfere with the audio on Newts that didn't get wiped before.
