I almost enjoy browsing the web on my tablet more then my PC. Except one annoying thing.

It seems A LOT of forums are now using tapatalk, forum burner, and other paid apps. What's the problem? I don't want it, but every other forum I access will popup messages asking me to buy their app. Some forums even pop it up with every page view!

Further, these seem to add an additional 'signature' to its user's forum posts informing me that they use tapA talk, on every single post. Why is this a problem? Because forums already support signatures, and have recognised that some people don't want to see these repeditive signatures, and provided a way to hide them. Tapatalk has gone ahead and bypassed this feature for the sole purpose of marketing their app.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm just old fashioned, but spamming every user on the internet to use your program is considered....spam, to me anyway. I might even enjoy using tapatalk, but I will never know. I simply refuse to install software from a company that uses such sleezy business practices. I will not be harassed into installing your software.

Chrome and 'Browser' popup blockers don't block them. Is there any way of disabling this without disabling JavaScript entirely?

It is remarkable that so many forum webmasters have accepted this as the norm and assist in its spam. Do they get a cut of the sales? I don't know, but what I do know is its making my web browsing experience on my tablet more painful then it should be.

[General Questions and Answers] Raccroc:
You ever figure this out? Seems I'm always tracking down a new interest and searches land me on never-before-visited forums, each one quick to spam me that they too support some sort of dedicated app with an annoying popup. Gets even worse when cookie-less/incognito browsing.
[General Questions and Answers] rege420:
First off the app is great its 100%better than using a browser i recommend it highly. Secondly the sig is optional you can write whatever you want or disable it completely. I think ppl usually leave it saying sent using tapatalk to inform others of the app that's how i found out about it. And im glad i found it its a much better interface than scrolling and zooming on web browser

Tonight I realized that my Hardware Keyboard has no more Backlight :( Even the Softkeys have no more Backlight. May that be Software related? Using Mimicri 1.5 Rom - even tried switching to a gingerbread Rom in hope to see, that Hardware isn't damaged. But same problems. Any Ideas?

Managed to brick up my tablet good, thought i'd describe the "symptoms" and what I was doing when it happened to prevent it happening again.

I was on:

Firmware: 10.4.4.16

Recovery: TWRP 2.2.2.0

Description:

I was attempting to get root, however TWRP does not work with the new firmware/bootloader version. I wanted to do a factory reset of my data, but TWRP would not let me. I booted into the bootloader menu (voldown + on) and selected data-wipe option. The tablet then rebooted into TWRP but nothing happened.

I have tried to reboot after this but it will not load Android, it just loops into TWRP recovery

I have tried to boot into fastboot, but It will not even load the bootloader menu, it just loops into TWRP recovery

I have tried to flash stock firmware using TWRP but it does not work because i'm running the crappy new firmware!

Anyone got any ideas? I think this one is for Asus :/
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
are you trying to flash ics or jb?

i would stick with jb at this point.

do you have any backups? one guy said he was able to restore cm10 with twrp.
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
and if you don't have a backup you can restore, you can always wait for the next version of twrp to be released and try flashing that first. you still have options!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Cheapxj:
did you activate NVFLASH? please tell me you did!

you can always jump back to the .26 stock bootloader (or TWRP/CWM if you had one of those installed at the time)

there is an unofficial 6.0.1.4 version of CWM Recovery posted and I used that no problem with Official JB to re-root after the update.

you do need fastboot access to install it though, so without NVFLASH and the ability to downgrade your bootloader... um... yeah, you're kinda borked. sorry.
[Asus Transformer TF700] b3z:
No backups.. :/
[Asus Transformer TF700] b3z:
Yeah hopefully they will release a flash able version... if only I could revert to the stock recovery through twrp
[Asus Transformer TF700] xfinrodx:
Boot into fastboot and try flashing the unofficial cwm recovery! If you have recovery, you should absolutely have fastboot. I would really recommend that you try to stay away from the official recovery since it isn't quite as "feature rich" as cwm/twrp... Good luck,have fun!

Edit. Woah, reading failure... are you completely sure you're doing it right? The new jb boot loader menu is different. You don't wait for a secondary menu, you just vol-down to select the USB icon then vol-up
[Asus Transformer TF700] MysticMgcn:
Make that two. Same as you, tried to get root, wiped data, BRICK. Get TWRP each time, every time unless I hold VOL UP which of course goes to APX mode.

No fastboot, can't flash ROMs, tried the whole "dd if=/sdcard/blob /dev/block/mmcblk0p4" thing and it reboots the tablet automatically. Flashing a ROM gives "E:cannot mount /data".

"ls /dev/block" command from adb shell only shows /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 and /dev/block/loop0-9.

Bricked and bricked good!
[Asus Transformer TF700] b3z:
Bugger. I'll give it a week then rma, I've still got adb through twrp..
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
did you try flashing jb cwm through ad?
[Asus Transformer TF700] b3z:
Yeah, didn't work :/
[Asus Transformer TF700] hiemanshu:
ok do this, boot into TWRP, adb push my CWM recovery, dd if=cwm-recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9, it should flash the CWM Recovery, or you can do it using via fastboot as well. Then flash the .30 zip, remember now .26, but only .30, wipe data, wipe cache, reboot
[Asus Transformer TF700] MysticMgcn:
And... back to TWRP. Is there some other version? The recovery I downloaded was called recovery.img not cwm-recovery.img
[Asus Transformer TF700] hiemanshu:
DId the dd command complete correctly?

Also try this:

1) download .30 blob from asus website

2) unzip it twice till you have a blob file

3) adb it to device

4) dd if=blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

5) reboot and wait for the flash to complete.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MysticMgcn:
Yes it completed.

The blob reboots the tablet 5 seconds after the dd command is entered.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
I could provide you a flashable zip with the stock recovery, send me a PM if you are interested.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pinn___________:
I've been having similar issues after installing JB woith recovery. I wanted to wipe data but glad I wasn't able to after reading this thread. I don't understand how some people have managed to upgrade and still seem to have full access to twrp
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
My understanding is that TWRP is *not* compatible with Jelly Bean! It may install, but it doesn't work right. Stay away....

I have been unable to get the "unofficial" CWM recovery installed at all - everything looks like it works during the install, but I still get the stock recovery. Strange...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Try again the latest version,it work just fine here . ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] MysticMgcn:
Sure I'd give that a go. If anyone wants to go through the trouble of a clean install TWRP backup I'll try that too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Latest version of TWRP or latest version of CWM?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] eduardmc:
i was the first one posting this issue and noone pay attention to my post. Sad that i try to warn people about this. I didn't do anything just took it to best buy and got it replace. JB is running great that i'm not thinking of unlocked it anymore.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
The unofficial CWM...just use fastboot method to install it and you will be fine ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] MrPink2100:
He said in the first post he can't fastboot, only recovery
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
@Pretoriano80 was replying to me, not the OP.

FYI - I *was* able to install CWM via fastboot (didn't work through terminal emulator - everything completed successfully, but still had stock recovery) - thank you!

What was strange is that I was un-able to connect to my wifi network at work after flashing CWM - I tried everything including wiping cache, wiping dalvik cache, resetting the tablet, turning wifi off and back on (many times), forgetting and re-adding the network, etc... Eventually fixed it by running "Fix Permissions" from within CWM. *STRANGE*!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Viper76269:
Sending back to Asus :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] b3z:
well I did flick through the general section, but the usual problem of having 20000billion different useless threads on the same damn thing probably means I skipped over it
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mike02z:
How do you RMA an unlocked Infintiy? ASUS will tell you to go pound sand.
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
I am having similar problems, but with CWM. Installed 4.1.1 update and wanted to have a clean slate and did the Wipe data from the fastboot menu. Now it goes only in recovery and I cannot do anything there as the up and down buttons do not work (using CWM 6.0.1.3).

Before installing the update I did make a backup using CWM. Any ideas of what could I do? Any help would be much appreciated...
[Asus Transformer TF700] b3z:
hahah, well I hope not. They will probably just want me to pay something for thier troubles. Even though all they will probably do is just use nvflash. I hope they return it with 0.26 :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] b3z:
Try restore using CWM, if that dosen't work then try and flash an update using CWM..
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
If you contact them, please drop a line telling us how it went. Probably a few of us will have to return our bricks :|
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
UPS just came to pick-up my tablet in order for it to be sent to the service center in the Czech Republik. I'll keep you posted with how long it takes as well as how much the repairs will cost :(

I just hope that they don't have to replace the entire motherboard as some other users have reported. It would be a bit silly for them not the be able to rewrite the initial software...but you never know.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
OK, this situation was caused by incompatibility of the earlier TWRP version with JB bootloader that was installed with the OTA/manual JB update. The newest versions of TWRP (from 2.2.2.2 through 2.2.2.3) are fully compatible with the JB bootloader and won't cause any issues. I'm so sorry for you guys that had problems. Most of the time, if you read the OP thoroughly you can avoid issues, and Dees_Troy did post warnings, but I think this issue was pretty complex and people didn't always know it could affect them.:(
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
I guess it's only fair to say that it is not necessarily your fault. We all take some risk when we decide to use our tablets in more unconventional ways. Things happen...

If there's someone to blame it is us for not waiting a bit more until everything was clearer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Not me, I wish I was the developer...I'm only a user. But I did want to inform people that the issue has been resolved, although too late for some...
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
I just hope I will get it back with 0.26 so I can nvflash it and make it brickproof. Afterwards I can try out some crazy stuff. Otherwise I think I am going to wait a bit more untill more users confirm that everything is working with TWRP or CWM
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I think that you can request that Asus return it with .26 loaded. I've seen other such requests honored by Asus - it's worth a shot!
[Asus Transformer TF700] b3z:
I sent mine back to Asus last week too, I haven't heard anything from them yet though.. I put tracking on the package so I know they've received it :). I believe they're supposed to contact us and ask me what to do and I will suggest for them to return it with 0.26 firmware :)

On a side note my Nexus 7 is flipping amazing, I'm half considering selling my tf700t when I get it back
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
Asus support really rocks :). I sent in my tablet last week on wednesday and I got it back yesterday, fixed and with the .26 firmware. They didn't have to change the motherboard, they only reflashed the firmware.Soon enough I will nvflash it and start experimenting with some other ROMs as the stock one is not that good as you might know.

5 stars for Asus on the speed and service they provided!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Just a note, Nvflash will not help if you're using a wrong recovery to flash, so be careful. So in your case you had a bad luck but turn out to be a good luck cause you have .26 version...Jealous!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] georgecarstoiu:
Can you please clarify...I really do not want to make a mess of things...again :|

What I plan to do is to:

1. Unlock

2. NVFlash it (save all the files)

3. Install CWM 6.0.1.4

4. Install a custom ROM (still deciding on which one)

Does it sound ok? (sorry for going a bit off topic, but I guess that most users that will have their tablets returned from Asus support will go through this)
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
minor change:

1. Root/Unlock

2. NVFlash it (save all the files)

3. Install TWRP (most ppl like this better, more frequently update with GUI for ease of use)

4. Install a custom ROM (try Cleanrom -fast and stable).
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Details please. So you say that "the wrong recovery" (which one?) can break APX mode?
[Asus Transformer TF700] fordwolden:
Hope I can clarify things a bit for you, I have done this procedure for the Prime before and did it earlier today on my brand new Infinity. Once you have your Nvflash backups safely stored, there is NO known software/flashing brick it can't restore/fix. That's why in the in the header of the Nvflash thread it says [BRICKPROOF]. And NOTHING can take APX/Nvflash away once you have completed the procedure and stored your backups in a safe place.

Here's what I did:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Nvflash procedure

3. Flash custom recovery (TWRP/CWM)

4. Flash JB update (See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1938129 ) to get JB bootloader if you want a JB stock-based rom.

5. Flash a Pre-rooted rom. (No need to root if you're going to flash a custom rom as they are pre-rooted)

6. (optional) If you want to stay stock and root you can flash the .zip from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 with CWM/TWRP and you are rooted. I tested that too and it worked just fine

Worked like a charm, and you will be "brickproof", just follow the Nvflash guide thoroghly! hope that helps
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Even your device is in APX mode, but your pc can not see your device anymore. This is where you need to send your device to Asus for repair. Nvflash only good with soft brick, not hard brick. Using an ICS recovery on JB is one of the cause this type of issue. If you see this type of message on your device...You are done, only Asus can save you.

"Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10 e> released by "US_epad-9.4.5.26-20120720" A03

Checking for android ota recovery

Booting recovery kernel image"

People with impression that Nvflash can fix anything, they're wrong!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say, but once you have your NVFlash files, only a hardware problem can stop NVflash from working. APX mode is built into the device and the only way that APX mode can be "Destroyed" is if there is a hardware problem. Barring a hardware problem, NVflash can unbrick any type of bricked device.

Have you even used NVFlash??
[Asus Transformer TF700] fordwolden:
I've been stuck without bootloader, recovery and the works on my Prime, I would say that's about the worst you can do, also flashed the wrong bootloader to the device. However Nvflash had no problems revovering it. If your computer can't see your device when in apx mode it most likely would be computer/cable related. As I said I have put it through fire and it came out cool as a cat. ICS recovery on JB is peanuts for this bad boy! Although not recommended of course! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
And once again you are posting the same bs and continue to confuse people.I think you still have no idea of what you are saying, because afaik the issue you've posted above can be solved by the users if they used NvFlash tool before they bricked the device, so stop saying bs and try give ppl the correct informations if you wanna help them, not just some random stuff you pick from the forum. Also, like jtrosky said, did you even tested NvFlash to see and understand how it works?
[Asus Transformer TF700] b3z:
I'm pretty unimpressed, got quoted over $420 AUD for repairs (they HAVE to replace the mainboard, which is BS).. had a pretty lengthy argument with someone's supervisor over the issue, they said they will talk to the repairers to try and reduce the cost of the repairs.... not sure what I'm going to do... might try and sell it for parts on eBay.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Reggie777:
How ?

I've seen people refer to using the nvFlash files to recover from a bricked tablet. But I cannot find any directions on just how to use them. I have my eight files saved multiple times, even unto a MicroSD in case I had to get it back into the tablet. I can get into TWRP, and I can get into Fastboot. But what now? I was on ICS, rooted, and unlocked. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
In this situation you don't need nvflash, you should be able to flash a working kernel and system from TWRP.

So I have a few questions. I guess you can call me a novice at this. I have flashed Roms before just put like 4 on my phone and nandroid back up each one to test later.

My question is what does flashing Radios and Kernels do?

I flashed a radio on my inspire once and messed it up.

Also I need some help on flashing CM10 or jellybean ROMS. I wanna try jelly bean and cm 10 out but know nothing about gapps and I don't want a ROM I will have to update weekly. Will I have to with those roms?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] h8rift:
You only flash daily to stay on the bleeding edge. Besides, a few days ago CM added an updater which you can tell it how often you want to be notified about an "update". (Weekly, monthly, only stable builds, etc..)

Gapps = Google's proprietary apps like Play Store, Gmail, etc. Can't legally put those into CM due to legal reasons. If you Google "jb gapps", I'm positive you will find what you are looking for :).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] h8rift:
Oh and also, you should check out the radio thread in the dev section. Has a map and explanations of the radios.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NeverToLate:
I've seen good words about ParanoidAndroid. Is that one you would recommend?

And I know I've seen you on some Rom forums that you've developed is that right? I can't remember which ones
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Akatosh:
We can't really give our opinions on the rom because different people will always think different things, as far as my say goes it is an impressive piece of work.
