[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I have been looking for this. But, first I have a couple of NOOB:o questions. My tablets status as of right now is that I am on the stock 9.4.5.26 firmware, it is rooted but the bootloader is still locked. I have the OTA Root Keeper app and Super SU and Titanium Backup (with all apps backed up to the external SD).

1- Do I need to unrooted to use the Asus unlocker tool?

2-Can I use the CWM 6.0.1.4 recovery zip? Just because I have been using CWM for the past 2 years and I am very comfortable with it. I have never used TWRP.

3. Do I need to have Asus stock (US 10.4.4.20) Jelly Bean installed before I can install your CleaRom?

4-Can not do a OTA update.

I think I have covered everything, if not please tell me. Looking forward to this, but somewhat nervous.:fingers-crossed:

Just a little background info. I had to return my first TF700 to Amazon because I bricked it while trying to setup NVflash, which I will never try again. I had 2 techs (supposedly pros, yeah right) come to my home and they could unbrick it but could not get NVFlash working either. More money down the drain. I do not know what they did but shoetly thereafter I tried to install a custom rom and it bricked again and thanks to Amazons very lenient return policy was able to return it also. Can not do it again because I am now past the 30 return period. Anyways I have installed custom roms and custom recoveries on other devices with not problem (probably about 30 times) but Asus is a little different, never had to do anything with a bootloader and NVflash was a snap for them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Brooklynsour:
hey just got the tablet today and hoping not to get it bricked today lol...

[Asus Transformer TF700] Brooklynsour:
how do i select the usb option once bat start and tablet go into bootloader??

i click volume up but it doesnt move to usb system shows a android with open hatch with red triangle and exclamation point.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
That's the stock recovery (you selected "RCK"). If the selection in the bootloader does not move but confirms the current selection instead, try the other volume key.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
1. NO, you don't need to unroot to use Asus unlocker tool.

2. I highly recommend you to use twrp. It works very very well with tf700, cwm sometimes does have issue.

3. Yes, you do need JB version .20 before flashing Cleanrom, because you need JB boot loader for Cleanrom.

4. Once unlocked, you cann't use OTA anymore. The best way is to root, upgrade to JB and preserve root with rootkeeper, unlock, then use Goomanager from the market to install twrp, then use twrp to flash Cleanrom.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
So first I unlock the bootloader then d/l 10.4.4.20 and place that on the root of my sd card.Then using Root Keeper I temp. Unroot and reboot and and Asus should automatically install the 10.4.4.20. After that I use GooManager to install TWRP. I read in another post that I could use GooManager to install a custom rom, is that true.

I just reread your instructions and see not to unlock first. I have read that the unlocker tool may not work with JB and I have read that it does.

So,is updating really as simple as putting the 10.4.4.20 on the root of the sd card and then reboot? Is there no factory reset or wipe required?

Just read another thread that said I needed to do incremental updates to keep root?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dobranszky:
Hi everyone

Thanks for this great guide, it's very useful for noobs like me, but even though i managed to do something wrong :))

I'm on latest JB (updated via OTA), device unlocked (with the apk), drivers installed (i can see my TF700 in device manager in windows) but stucked on section 2. After initiating the .bat file, everything is going according to guide, until the line saying: sending "recovery" (xxxx KB). Nothing happens further (i waited even 5 minutes or so), i have to end the batch and hold down the power button for few seconds to reboot. I've tried with both twrp 2.2.2.3 and 2.3.1.0, renamed of course as in guide to recovery.blob.

any help or suggestions are appreciated

thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] Buehlar:
Did you place the recovery.blob file inside the same folder as the .bat tool?

Also make sure USB debugging is enabled
[Asus Transformer TF700] dobranszky:
absolutely

i will try today the same thing on a different computer with another SO

edit:

so. i'm at work on a different computer, did it again and now i have this (i wouldn't call it a progress but something is definitely different):

after pressing any key, this comes up:

now i have to manually reboot the tab because nothing happens
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
In the OP it says

"Pre-requisites

Unlocked bootloader

Custom Recovery

But, when reading further, Section 1-it says that after you have the US_epad-10.4.4.XX on the internal or external sd card that you are to boot into recovery and wipe data and dakvic cache before flashing the rom. But installing a custom recovery is not addressed until section 2 which I assume to mean comes after flashing the JB update . So, when do I unlock the bootloader and install the custom recovery? I guess what I am asking so I do not make any mistakes is in what exact order do I do all of this?

Also, I am on 9.4.5.6 ICS is it okay to to make the jump to 10.4.4.20?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
- unlock

- (install AndroidRoot bootloader and create blob for wheelie/nvflash)

- install a custom recovery

- install full 10.4.4.20 firmware

- install custom recovery again, since the full firmware replaced your recovery

- install a root zip or any custom ROM you like

Theoretically you can leave out the first installation of the custom recovery and install the full firmware using the stock recovery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
In my stock recovery I have 2 icons, wipe data and android. Do I wipe data and then click on Android to access the update file. I have not messed around in this area to much for fear of bricking. Can't I use GooManager to install TWRP? the last time I started messing with blob's, wheelie and nvflash I bricked my tablet and had to send it back to Amazon. Don't want to do that again besides I am past the 30 day return period.

I also have root at this time and I have the OTA Root Keeper app.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
That's the bootloader menu. You should have a third option that starts the recovery (or it works using the volume keys in the old bootloader, I forgot). After unlocking, there should also be a fastboot icon.

Since you are rooted, that should work. You will still lose root when installing the full firmware, but on an unlocked tablet you can always reinstall a custom recovery (using fastboot) and then get root access.

Do you remember what exactly you did wrong? As soon as you enter the bootloader menu, you always need to know exactly what you are doing. You can also brick your tablet without trying to get nvflash access at all - e.g. first somehow damaging your recovery and then choosing "wipe data" -> instant brick. Never try to wipe data without checking that your recovery is working!

Actually when upgrading stock ROMs you never need to wipe data - only before downgrading or switching to a non-stock-based custom ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Buehlar:
I can hardly read those screenshots

How many other USB devices do you have plugged in? Unplug all other devices and try again.

If it still fails,

I'd start over again by first uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers.

You can also try to force install the patched drivers attached below as they "may" help to make sure that the proper are being installed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:

I finally accessed recovery by highlighting the android icon in the bootloader (is that the correct name for it?). I first saw the green android robot with the blue "buckyball" :D coming out of its stomach and then it fell over with the red explanation point but a second later the screen with the blue print ( finally the recover screen I am familiar with) appeared and below the different recovery options in yellow print was the explanation has to why the android robot fell over (in other forums I have heard him/she referred to as "Andie or Andy") was because of not finding a update zip.

OK, I have gotten this far, now do I unlock the bootloader with the Asus tool and then install TWRP using GooManager?

I had a android person over to my home to setup the nvflash because I did not the skills necessary to do. After he said he had it setup the first time I tried to use it, I bricked the tablet. I have used nvflash before with another device but after the drivers were installed all I had to do was put the tab in APX mode open nvflasf and click on the .bat file and watch it do its thing next thing you know I was booting into the stock os. There was no blobs or wheelies to deal with.

I have read in other TF700 threads that as long as I use the OTA Root Keeper and temporarily un-root before I update to JB that I could get root back?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kdizzleh85:
Quick question....I am unlocked and on ics..Should I install open script recovery from twrp before upgrading to Jelly bean and then root or just upgrade and then install twrp and root. Not sure of the next step toward being rooted and on JB so I can install Custom Roms. Thanks a lot
[Asus Transformer TF700] Buehlar:
If you had already been updated to JB, you have the JB bootloader (OTA update with root keeper or not) then just forget about trying NVflash.

From this point if you're not unlocked, do so.

Then start @ step 2.

If you're still on ICS .26 or below you still have a chance of getting your nvflash blobs. Do so if you wish the risk trying BEFORE updating to JB.

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

If you're ICS version .26 or lower you can still get your nvflash blobs if you want.

If you aren't worried about getting your nvflash blobs then start with Section 1

Their is no file shown on asus website with 10.4.4.16 only 10.4.4.20. any ideas
[Asus Transformer TF700] Buehlar:
This thread wa started when version 10.4.4.16 was the latest. There has been incremential updates released since then. Version 10.4.4.18 and 10.4.4.20 The latter being the most recent that you should use :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] dobranszky:
thanks for the reply

did that: haven't plugged in any other device than my infinity and also forced install the drivers supplied in some guide

anyway, third time's a charm, picked up a "fresh" laptop from work and did it again and this time everything went great. I'm on CleanROM 2.7 Inheritance now, which by the way, turned my tab into a much faster device than with the stock OS.

But now i have another question: i read on forums that data2sd seems to be a must (increasing speed even more), but my microsd is a class 4 speed and i'm wondering if it's ok to continue with this sd or should i buy a new one (class 6 or 10). I ran androbench (for testing the speeds) but the results were beyond my comprehension and i'm not pretty sure if this apps are trustable or realistic.

thanks again
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
If your final goal is a custom ROM and you are currently rooted, then you can proceed with unlocking.

So that android person (Data? :)) created the required blob and backups for you etc., but you still bricked the tablet to an unrecoverable state? What did you do, that should be almost impossible?

Unfortunately the TF700's "security" is a bit more complex to work around.

OTA Root Keeper can only keep root if you do the incremental updates via dlpkgfiles. If you install a complete ROM via recovery, all possible backups of su are overwritten. But if you want to unlock anyway, you don't need to keep root (I already explained why).
[Asus Transformer TF700] kdizzleh85:
Do I need to install twrp before I proceed with step 1 and before I flash the firmware update?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Buehlar:
You don't need root/TWRP to upgrade to JB. as you will just lose it when you upgrade.

Download 10.4.4.20 and unzip exactly as in section 1 and copy to your internal drive

Run the ASUS unlock apk tool to ulock your device.

If you're already unlocked, just reboot into "official recovery" mode and flash the official JB 10.4.4.20 from ASUS. This must be done to receive the JB bootloader firmware. The official firmware replaces the bootloader on your device which is why you would lose a custom recovery (TWRP) if you had previously installed it.

Now you're ready to follow the guide starting at section 2 and flash your "custom recovery" which would be TWRP version 2.3.1.0 (again the guide was written before the latest TWRP was reccommend)

Now you're ready for SuperSU (this gains you root access) or just flash CleanROM (which includes root) via TWRP if you choose to do so:D
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Part 1 of your sentence is correct, but only replacing the bootloader does not overwrite a custom recovery. However the official firmware also contains a recovery, and that causes the custom recovery to be overwritten. The net effect is the same however. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] bick:
Often Google Play will report that certain apps on Play are not compatible with HTC Wildfire S.

Basically this is because the Wildfire S stock RAM size is small and Google Play compares the app size with their Compatable phones list to see if it will fit.

I have read through a few XDA posts and it appears that if the Model and Manufacturer data is changed in the build.prop file then Play will see the phone as one which is compatable. i.e. Samsung Galaxy Sll.

Does anyone know of a app that will do this? or any developers out there that can do this or a script to do it for rooted phones with sd-card system programs like data2sd ect?

Maybe it would be possible to fool the system for a while just so you can install 'imcompatible' apps from Play.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Here is a workaround to add the contacts tab back into the dialer for builds FI25 and FI27 deodexed stock rom for anyone that wants it.

This flashable zip contains the FI03 contacts.apk and the FI25/FI27 framework.jar (the classes.dex are identical).

Modifying the contacts.apk is a major undertaking so I just used the working one from FI03 (last build with contacts in dialer), the framework.jar was a minor smali edit.

Added flashable stock restore for contacts & framework.

Please download the stock restore in case you need it.

________________________________________________

Howto

:

Extract the contacts.apk from the FI25-FI27.Contact.Dialer.Fix.zip and replace the one in the ROM.

Edit FI25/FI27 Framework.jar and replace the attached file:

android/telephony/PhoneNumberUtils$CountryCallingCodeAndNewIndex.smali

It is a very small file. If you want to see the changes, compare them yourself. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tnkclark:
I get "Unfortunately, Contacts Has Stopped" for both Contacts and Favorites when trying to run from the Dialer. Both run OK when not in the Dialer.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JonSCSL:
Well I thought I knew how to odex the files but it didn't work. I am a newbie at this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Its been a very long time since I've done that. Give me a day or two and I'll see what I can figure out the odexing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bannjio:
You have probably seen this;

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/odex-with-ease-using-auto-odexer/

If that link is helpful to anyone, would you mind explaining it to me? Mostly I don't get the first two steps...if you have an odexed and deodexed version already...what? Even just a link that shows me what I'm missing here. :what:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Can't get the odex version to work. Someone else will have to give it a try or you will have to use deodexed rom for this.

You're too late. Check the subject and OP. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JonSCSL:
I flashed the contacts a while back and the PhoneNumberUtils wasn't there. What is the new file what is it for?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
That is just one of the files that gets replaced if someone wants to do it themselves but you need to know how to decompile the framework.jar file to do it. I added the how-to so Developers could change their ROM files easily without having to start over from stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JonSCSL:
I flashed the other 2 and and its been working great. Just wast sure if it was something else I needed or an add on mod to give me a new feature. Thanks for the work! I can't understand how Samsung thinks we like having the dialer without the contacts tab.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
that popped up quick :)

Hi all, as you probably gonna tell im new around here and i wanted te ask you if u can help me

with smth.

I own a HTC Desire S which i recently rooted and i installed anther rom (Primo S 4.1) and everything worked great...But everytime i try to install some other rom they dont boot for some reason. i even tried with rom manager and it doesn't work. so it got me thinking that maybe its because i didn't s-off my phone (because i didn't really know how to).

so now i want to s-off my phone but i have HBoot 2.02 and im finding it very difficult to do...

WHAT CAN I DO? PLS HELP ME.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumpystig:
Just registered here as I'm considering a Xoom 2 ME 8.2 WiFi as a sat nav and music storage in my car. It will be permanently installed where my original headunit was - the h/u has already been sited to a different place below the dash. I have a few questions that I'm hoping existing owners can answer so I can decide if the Xoom will be a suitable purchase for my needs.

First, what is the size of the visible screen, i.e. the usable viewing area within the black border? The aperture within my dash is 190mm wide x 122mm high - if the screen fits within this area then I'm halfway there. I already know the external dimensions of the Xoom will allow it to fit behind the aperture.

Second, how good is the Xoom 2 as a standalone sat nav, and what apps can be recommended? Also, I have a Nokia N9 and find the Nokia Drive / Nokia Maps great to use - is it possible to get them running on the Xoom?

Any answers will be welcome. Cheers.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewantoo:
The 8.2" xoom 2 me is much better now it's got Android 4 on it, but it's got stupid power and volume button placement (hidden on the back) which would make it pretty bad for using in a car I think.

Personally, I wouldn't buy one again, when options like the Nexus 7 are available.

I've not used it as a GPS I'm afraid, but I use Google maps on my phone all the time for turn by turn navigation, it works very well.
