Go to Evo 4g LTE forum and go to original development. 1st page should have a thread by yarrimapirate about downgrade. He recently figured how to brick, downgrade hboot and get s-off from QHuSB. Mode. The guys is a genius. That thread may have some answers or at least some help or info for you. People in that thread are stepping over themselves trying to help people.

Good luck.

I'd post a link, but I know as soon as I step out of this thread I'll never find it again (xda app)

I can't believe all these threads of people flashing the wrong roms. I've never seen this on XDA before.

I bricked my phone trying out methods for s-off. I had gotten an Evo 4g LTE rom to boot up completely but when I dd'ed all the Evo partitions to the HOX it bricked. I had to use linux to dd the right partitions back using a 2-3 second window but I could never get it fixed. I believe I had tried the program linked two a few posts back but it didn't work. It may have been a different program but I think it was that one.

Manually dd'ing the correct partitions back from and s-on device in Linux using emmc mode may be the only way to fix the soft brick.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mite000:
I've been experimenting with Xperia Play roms and kernals for the last week or so and this is my experience.

I first tried to just install the Lupus kernal for a stock gingerbread 2.3.4 rom. It allowed me to overclock to 1900mhz, but I felt like the the fluidity was still being held back a bit by being on gingerbread, plus I was running out of storage space and I remembered that custom roms can often help with that.

I then decided to jump to a 4.1.2 Jellybean rom with a Lupus kernal that allowed me to overclock to 1600mhz. I loved this rom, and even after I installed everything I could think to install I still had about 400mb of internal storage left. The only issue, which I predicted, would be that the phone just couldn't properly keep up with Jellybean, even under the best circumstances. It would be laggy, and certain games and emulators would jerk around and I would die because of it.

So finally I decided to install Cyanogenmod 7.2 because I read good things about it, and sure enough its been doing me wonders. It comes with its own kernal that allows you to overclock to 1600mhz as well, plenty of extra space, and I would go as far as to say that it's at a near "Apple" level of fluidity. There's only two issues I discovered with this rom, both of which were solved easily enough. The first is that it doesn't come with the ability to disable to auto-brightness, but this was solved by downloading an xperia app on the market designed the correct this. The second is that the circle button on the gamepad doesn't allow you to map anything to it, and always acts as the back button. This can be corrected by editing the keypad file in the settings, and then you're off to the races.

All in all from everything I've done and researched, I would say that CM 7.2 is the best overall rom for the Xperia Play when it comes to a balance of features and performance. If you need help setting up anything I mentioned, let me know :)

Switching from other manufacturer's charger to Asus

Freeze the charger(???)

Adaptor charge the tablet in good order, but it doesn't seem to be charging the doc.

The dock is always blinking rapid amber led when plugged in and the adaptor just get really hot.

Guys, any advise? Warranty expired, it gonna hurt my wallet to send in for repair ;(

If you let the dock drain 100% it sometimes encounters problems. If you open up the dock you will see a little switch. Flip it back and forth and it should start charging again

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_htc_touch:
Got the same problem as the OP - Dock not charging and even the dock option is greyed out within the Settings - Interface - Launcher option.

My question is - Is there any software command that would simulate the flipping of the switch using ADB etc? Would not want to open the dock as yet..

It works properly when I attach it to the tablet, only problem is that it doesn't charge...Any pointers would be more than welcome!

Am on 4.1.2, CM10 2012 12 08 Unofficial

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
Try a cold boot, it fixes lots of these problems. Hold the power and vol down buttons till you see 2 icons on the screen, then release the 2 buttons and let it boot. Try it while docked and it should start charging again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_htc_touch:
Yes, already tried that (it says cold booting linux and all..) , I tried it while docked and with the charger in the dock..but still the same orange blinking light..Dual Battery Widget also doesnt detect the dock..though I can type with the keyboard and all that stuff..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
Guess you should open it up then, and try to switch trick as I doubt there's an ADB command for a hardware switch inside a "third party device" since it's not part of android but really an extension that probably requires drivers and/or kernel modules outside of stock android. If there is, it's probable it's not documented if it was added by Asus for Asus. While it's opened up inspect the battery for obvious signs of wear/damage. Dual battery widget didn't work for me on some ROMs (can't remember which exactly but only the tablet battery was detected) but recent CM10 should have a separate icon with a dock through the battery icon while docked.

You can try the dumpsys utility from ADB, which prints out battery info so you may find something, but you can't manipulate data at all:

adb shell dumpsys battery

Also, did you try wiping the battery stats in recovery? If you have that option...

And lastly, lots of people are suggesting the freezer trick. To me that would be last resort but it looks like it's working for some people it seems.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_htc_touch:
Thanks for your detailed analysis and useful suggestions - just reflashed the CM10 8th Dec UNofficial rom y'day only and then recovered all the apps etc..But your idea of wiping out the battery stats didn't cross my mind! Should be there under advance I guess within recovery..(Have touch based 5.9 or something)

I would let the charger plugged into the dock and then try again the cold boot trick to see if that resolves the issue..Else would see if I have the option of wiping battery stats within recovery..

I am currently on vacation and hence donot want to open up the Dock here, freezer trick while harmless but I fail to understand logically how that would help :) Nevertheless would try it out if the above doesnt work..

Would report on the updates tomorrow (after 12 hours or so.)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
The freezer trick is an oldie but a goldie. I used to do it with old hard disks that had certain problems and it worked in some cases, but usually you had an hour or so to salvage the data then it would die for good...

The logic behind it is that cold contracts the parts while heat expands them. So if it's a bad solder or something alike, the cold can temporarily fix it. But as I said, it would be a last resort for me and I'd triple seal it in ziplock bags to make sure no humidity can get in or out.

Let us know how it works out!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_htc_touch:
I am actually inclined to open up the keyboard and flip the damn switch now!

Also I did try cold booting (as the tablet had charged to 98%) and also wiping out the battery stats, but no change in situation still.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_htc_touch:
Opened the keyboard, flipped the switch but still no change..Orange light just keeps on blinking approximately every second..

Am at a loss to understand what could be the problem - the dock and tablet were bought in Sep last year and the dock has hardly been used (probably not for more than 20-30 hours in the last 14 months or so..)

Anyway I havenot closed the keyboard completely, would flip the switch again after sometime and see if that changes the charging behaviour in any way!

Anyone who has had success with dock charging issue after flipping the switch?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_htc_touch:
Update on previous post - Suspecting that it could be a software issue as well, I flashed an old Megatron Rom (based on CM9), and tested the switch again.

Switch off - Only EeePad's battery is shown

Switch On but no charger - Dock's battery is shown (symbol of battery + Keyboard) BUT with a red exclamatory sign, along with the normal EeePad's battery

Switch On and with Charger - Dock's battery is shown (symbol of battery + Keyboard) with charging sign :) , along with the normal EeePad's battery

So definitely an improvement as compared to CM10!!

Wondering if I should search for a Stock (Rooted ?) Firmware and flash that..Or probably just a firmware for the dock (does that exist?)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
I'm pretty sure there is firmware for the dock (I think you see it in the settings while docked) but I don't think it's available, nor does any rom actually change it they just "use" it. For sure the best thing to try would be stock now with dual battery to make sure it works properly. Easy flasher will get you back to stock, provides root and can install different recoveries for you (there's plenty of others but this one seems easiest and worked best for me).

I'm thinking you're right on both accounts: the switch did work and there's a software issue somehow causing this. I've seen stranger things with custom roms. Glad you're making progress!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_htc_touch:
Thanks a bunch Lethe6 !! I have downloaded the Easy Flasher (V 0.8.3 Stable) and am downloading the Stock Rom from ASUS WebSite (300MB)..Its a slow connection here, so I would be able to report back by tomorrow only..But I am optimistic that Stock Rom should resolve the issue with the charging!!

Thanks once again for providing the links, I would report back tomorrow on the progress!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_htc_touch:
UPDATE on prev post - Flashed the latest stock from ASUS Website ..It does show the Dock Battery BUT at 0% :(

And from what I read here, I seem to have run out of lack as apparently there is a design flaw wherein there is no way a dead battery can be revived!! :mad:

(I ran out of warranty in September but as I wasn't using the dock really at that time, I didn't bother to look into the issue at that time..)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
That really sucks :( But it must be a particular model because mine has went to 0% numerous times and I've never had that issue before. Did you try the freezer trick? At this point if it's supposedly completely dead, might as well give it a shot. Also some people suggest plugging it into USB for 5-12 hours, the trickle charge may help getting it going again. If the tablet is not 100% charged the dock won't start to charge either, so try just with the dock then try with both. Also check this out, sometimes strange fixes are the best.

You can probably find a refurbished dock for under 100$ during the holidays online, if you really need it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_htc_touch:
Out of curiosity which series dock do you have? Mine is a B70 purchased in UK last September..(Tablet is also having a S/N starting with B70 and SBK v2)..

I tried the other fix as well that you mentioned - that is using a different USB charger, to my surprise without the tablet attached, there was no light on the dock. but if I attached the tablet, then orange light was blinking much quicker! So seems like the dock is quite sensitive wrt the current supplied through the USB cable..(Guess all USB chargers have typically 5V output or something?)

On using the original ASUS USB Charger, light blinks slower (with or without the tablet attached)..Have left the charger plugged in again ..in the faint hope that some trickle charge is able to revive the dock's battery!

And no, haven't tried the freezer trick as yet :)

Would probably contact ASUS UK once I am back in UK..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
My "mobile dock" version (you can see it in settings -> about tablet -> mobiledock) is EP101-0213 and my tablet is SBKv2 C30 purchased in Canada 6 months ago.

There's a nice article explaining voltages and amps in relation with phones (which applies to almost any mobile device), however from what I read, the Asus wall charger has a different pinout for USB and feeds the power differently. I'm sure you can find the exact specs here somewhere, I saw people showing how to make your own charger.

But assuming you're right and it's sensitive to the current (Bad design? Cheap parts?) then it's possible that simply replacing the wall charger would solve it. I bought a spare one to leave at work for 8$ on ebay and it works nicely so far!

Just out of curiosity.. did you/can you try to connect it to another power source? Like a different house? I once had a problem with a charger that there was too much noise on the electrical system and the charger couldn't keep a decent current output because of the variations, so the phone would say it was charging but it wasn't; tested later at several locations and it was working. I know it's a long shot but hey at this point... ;)
