Hi guys! I have a question for you ... I apologize in advance for the translation, I do not know the language and translate through a translator. I have a Asus Padone2​​, after flashing it stopped on and does not go into recovery menu, when you try to connect to computers device is detected as QHSUSB_DLOAD, previously managed to connect to the computer and use the recovery, and now it does not work. Tell me you faced such a problem? It is very difficult to look at the forum, can you send me the link to this issue
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
Sorry to tell you but untill now there is no guide to revive our device with this problem. I opened a thread here in XDA (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39928058) but nobody answer yet. Give some more details about your phone state and what you did there on my thread. I had contact someone who work in QHSUSB_DLOAD for HP Touchpad, maybe he can help us. I'll be updating that thread with the news, stay tuned.

Too many HTC devices had this same issue before and someone made a guide to fix it (http://unlimited.io/qhsusbdload.htm). Hope we'll get this issue fixed.

I'm back

Hey guys, whassup everyone? I'm back to this thread.

got today in hands my second padfone 2 (first one is in my signature), it's a second hand device but as brand new, with box, receipt and all the stuff plus a bluetooth keyboard from kensington for a really bargain, only CHF$411

I'm leaving my S4 Active SGH-i537 for now and give another chance to padfone 2. In fact, right now I've 2 stations (one at work other at home) also a bluetooth keyboard for office use :)

Is there any chance to root it without use Unlock.apk from ASUS for now? I want to stay stock as possible, cuz if the device has a sudden death then I can trigger the warranty.

What are the great news for Padfone 2 for now?

ps: s4 active from att has bootloader locked (yet), so no fun with that.

If you trusts the attachments of my message linked above, you do not need a compiler.

But you need adb installed on a computer, and grep (from terminal IDE (google Play) for example).

There are more differences than i expected between pf1 and pf2 sbl partitions but i think that the unlock bit is located on the sbl3 (mmcblk0p4)

I'm only guessing but i think it is on position 0x0000088

I will have to check harder the asus unlock tool

Nope, no problems at all. Unlock.apk from Asus works great without any botched up problems. You are lucky they didn't send you a refurbished phone instead. Asus starting to send out refurbished phones for any problems they are receiving, to reduce waiting times.

You can download the JB TW firmware from the asus site. Once downloaded you can just extract the boot.img. Since people have comfirmed that WWE unsercure boot.img can be used on the TW firmware then i'm sure you can make the TW unsercure boot.img for JB and it will work on the WWE firmware.

great work, so next step is to create cwm for create cm10 right?
[Android General] schriss:
CWM yes, CM10 I'm personally not interested :)

I only want CWM + Themes or maybe Custom ROM if it was really worth it, but I'm pretty happy with Asus stock :D

I don't like single color themes like all blue or all grey. So I will probably play with notification bar icons and that's it.

I'm more of a CoreDroid themes fan than anything else :)

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

Could someone who is on rooted JB download it and try

fastboot boot filename.img

to see if it boots properly into download mode?
[Android General] gt500:
what you mean by cwm + themes, can we theme without cm10? i like the asus interface, i just want cm10 for theming.. i am thinking wrong so..
[Android General] ekoandrew:
@scrhriss,

this is the stock image I pulled from my phone,

do you have a CWM modified version?

if you do, I can try it out.

---------- Post added at 05:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 AM ----------

CM10 Theme, you can use different launchers, like Launcher Pro with loads of CM10 themes already!!

as for what schriss mention, I believe he is talking about theme color changes from gray to some other colors with different stock icons changes!!

same goes for me, simply keep them simple + runs fast and smooth + battery saving!! :good:

[Android General] gt500:
what i mean was i want cm10 for theme chooser, for possibility of changing themes on apps, this is only possible with cm10 right?
[Android General] schriss:
Great, I just wanted to make sure the dump is working before we do anything to it. If CWM will not boot we will know CWM is the problem, not the stock recovery dump.

Also, anyone can try building CWM, I'm at work so can't.

Just download stock recovery, then go here: http://builder.clockworkmod.com/

then upload stock recovery, ignore other optional uploads for now, ENABLE Touch Recovery option and click Build. Keep the resulting page open so you don't loose your ID, then check build process in separate window. After building done, you will be given download link to Recovery.img

Download it and try fastboot boot :D

If doesn't work then we might simply need to build custom recovery.fstab file, google for it, its simple text file listing all partitions (mount points) which stock recovery might not include. Then we upload that fstab while building CWM and try booting again :)

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

I used to use CoreDroid SuiteTools on HTC OneX to change themes and change icons almost on the fly, all done on device. SuiteTools is free, but I'm not sure how easy porting is. Manual mentions build.prop change and few extra files to be put on the phone for it to work.

[Android General] Ivalex:
Good question. I'm on the same side. I've a wwe and still have to Wait getting jb...

I believe the only diff might be the radio, as kernel is unique, maybe some local app... you might want to try tw or cht, not the russian version. Or wait for an official hk, as I suggest:)

[Android General] cturbos:
ok thank you
[Android General] RagnarokRO:
You can flash it on with the downloaded zip but u won't get OTA updates while your on a different firmware other then the one it came with.

Try the TW not the CHT. As CHT is only for the telecommunications brand of the phone in taiwan.

Warning! once you flashed it on you can't downgrade back to ICS, so would have to wait till HK version of Jelly Bean comes out in zip form to flash over it.

I have not personally tired this but this is from my experience from other ASUS products. If anything happens to your phone, i am not responsible for it.

Not connecting fastboot

Hi to all.

Sorry for may be stupid question:

I have PC with Windows XP and Padfone 2 A68 32Gb with JB

1. I was try to follow instructions from first post:

- Download adb and fastboot

- download drivers from Asus site and install it

- download boot.img

- put my padfone into fastboot mode

- connect padfone to my PC by cable

- in cmd going to fastboot folder

- type adb devices but my pc can't see my padfone

- same story for typing fastboot devices - my pc can't see my padfone

In Windows XP and padfone normal mode PC find padfone as and I can see my padfone as

in Windows explorer

What I'm doing wrong?

Can somebody help me connect padfone to PC into fastboot mode and make root my padfone.

Thanks a lot for any help in advance.
[Android General] RagnarokRO:
I'm Taiwanese you know. CHT is Chung Hwa Telecommunication which has their branding on it and TW isn't Taiwan Telecommunication. TW is just a general firmware with no branding on it. Sorry I made it sound like Taiwan only has one telecommunication, Taiwan has many telecommunications like u mentioned Taiwan Mobile Telecommunications. TWM is not TW, they are different.
[Android General] oroo708:
did u install and run unlock.apk from asus website into ur device?
[Android General] kahei036:
Check device manager if ur phone is recognized as Asus fastbot device first

U probably need to download the latest fastboot from Google officail sdk, I had the same story on win7 64bit. Tried few fastboot I used to use but nine of them work until I get it from Google.
[Android General] schriss:
Hmm, not good... It needs to be the one I posted, any other wouldn't be meant for our device. And probably it must be tried on JB Padfone 2 just in cases it requires new bootloader.

I will try to create recovery.fstab tomorrow, will see if that solves the problem :D

Also we could try use optional graphics.c file from Asus JB Kernel sources, but I couldn't locate the file, there is so many folders in the source.
[Android General] ekoandrew:
Yup, I am on JB PF2. Plus I tried the recovery.img link you posted. Also have the same loading problem.
[Android General] harpik3d:
remember to check if there is a "/system/recovery-from-boot.p" file and rename/delete it or else the boot process will re-create the stock recovery
[Android General] ekoandrew:
there is this file

so I just need to rename this file? head into Fastboot, and retry fastboot boot recovery.img from the cwm link schriss given?

---------- Post added at 04:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 AM ----------

scratch that, renaming "recovery-from-boot.p". I renamed to .bak

went into fastboot , fastboot boot recovery.img

still have the same situation
[Android General] schriss:
Renaming that file only needed when flashing CWM to prevent going back to stock recovery automatically. When we boot CWM, then that file shouldn't even be executed.

I thought someone verified that posted stock recovery does boot? Looks like not for everyone? If stock doesn't boot then CWM wouldn't either. Maybe it's region related.

an amazing work, good job and thank for your kind sharing.

ive wrote a detailed article in chinese and made an auto-rooting batch script under windows platform.

[Android General] ekoandrew:
the Eclipse comes from the SDK.

your PF2 is from HK version. flashing a RU version, likely is Radio difference. So far no one knows for sure what will happen. All I know from Asus facility, they told me all PF2 sold in Tawian with TW or CHT firmware can flash all other firmware. As for other than Taiwan, I am guessing the answer is a no.

You can be the guinea pig to try out RU version. As I am here in Taiwan, plus my phone is company phone, I can only use CHT version.
