I think first step is to extract original recovery.fstab from dumped stock recovery.

Then get the list of mounts from device and check what's missing.

Recovery.fstab guides usually mention devices where sdcard is linked to /media and I think that applies to Padfone 2. But since stock recovery can flash from sdcard, I wonder why CWM does need modified Recovery.fstab to be able to do the same.

If screen black maybe it needs graphics.c from kernel sources? CWM builder mentions that optional file in case of some non standard frame buffers.

please help

can we update manually padfone 2 without ota service? because I root my padfone2 in 4.0.4 (i'm on WWE version) and now i think i can't update with ota service, it can't find update, but when i go on asus site there is the jb WWE update, so I just want help to know if it's possible to update manually without ota service and recovery?

and it must be do with recovery, what is the rest to do to recovery will be operational?maybe i can help if it's possible
[Android General] allram:
since you have rooted, you have also unlocket bootloader. Therefore you can not get OTA anymore. Just download the wwe update from asus website, and extract to /sdcard -> reboot phone and you will get a warning with "new firmware update found" :)

WWE JB is UP

10.4.5.36

Time to start the ball rolling
[Android General] mu5icman:
You should use

fastboot flash boot boot.img

WWE is out, yes. But do you understand the meaning:

?

My Build is: IMM76I.WWE_PadFone-9.8.8.55-0

Did anybody the update? In my understanding just flashing the zip in the bootloader.

Cheers, mu5icman
[Android General] mu5icman:
Be careful doing the update with the bootloader!

Normally, a full wipe is a good idea - but with the PadFone bootloader, a full wipe means totally full wipe including deleting all internal storage.

I lost all my titanium backup files! :mad:

So, before you do the update and maybe the wipe, backup everything to the computer.

/edit

I could sucessfully update to jelly bean 4.1.1 with WWE build. I have used the asus bootloader and unfortunately deleted the whole phone using the full wipe command (at CWM, a full wipe does not touch the sd card!). After updating, I had to unlock the phone again. But at the moment, there is no unsecure boot.img for WWE jelly bean.

My first impression with jelly bean is that ASUS did a very good job. The PadFone is very fast!
[Android General] killkyo:
Just checking, won't the jb boot img on the first post be able to be used to root wwe build? I was assuming that it will work fine. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

How do i unlock bootloader on JB?
[Android General] tobi1449:
I got a coule of questions about this:

Has somebody already discovered a way to relock the phone again?

And is the ability to receive OTA-Updates affected by using the UnLock.apk?
[Android General] schriss:
No OTA when unlocked, simply manually update after downloading update from Asus.

ReLock nobody tried yet, its a simple fastboot command, but be warned, need to be sure have stock boot.img before relocking.
[Android General] pissos13:
So if is possible to ReLock the PF2, probably if we need to send it to warranty it should pass as an original unlocked?

If so is possible to work in a tutorial to unroot and relock?

In other devices is possible to make it as original product and warranty isn't "void", will be possible to make the same with PF2?

The thing that makes me not root mine for now is the lost of warranty and no procedure to return "original".
[Android General] dContra:
Well i get to part 7a then i install superuser it say binary update failed i try to install in cmd session it say error no device found what is the problem?
[Android General] pissos13:
Isn't the unlock tool provided by asus not working?
[Android General] dContra:
I think it works even if it say it is for 4.0 ics but i can't update binary on superuser why?
[Android General] sukmano:
Did u chmod 06755?
[Android General] dContra:
Yes i tried in cmd session and it says "error device not found" but everything to this point worked...

Someone should make a pack to use with Odin or release 4.1 rooted firmware to flash i would pay for that....
[Android General] pissos13:
For that you need to have custom CWM that still doesn't exists, and then I think you must first root the device, then install CWM, and only after that you can install custom roms.

I only don't know for shure if you can install CWM without root.
[Android General] schriss:
Asus unlock tool is said to be working on both: ICS and JB according to the tool description.

If ADB doesn't work its probably missing some dlls to be placed in the same folder...

CWM without root might be possible because it's flashed from fastboot after device is unlocked. So not really related to root.

Custom ROM flashing surely required CWM, but smaller modifications like theming might be done manually by editing Framework.apk and SystemUI.apk and changing notification bar Icons or other icons/backgrounds, then pushing the apks back to device with ADB or moving into /system/apk manually with some File Manager. But of course keep original copies just in case. And such modified files would be working for other people running the same ROM version.

So even with no CWM there could be some UI theming going on.
[Android General] mu5icman:
It's absolutely no problem. You can unlock it with the asus tool.

With fastboot, you get root access after the unlock procedure.

If you want to relock it, just flash an original firmware (maybe wipe all before) and then it's locked again.

I got this with my update to Jelly Bean. So I have now to unlock it and get root access.

Don't worry about the warranty, that's just something to spread fear.
[Android General] mu5icman:
Please change the flash boot command as following:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

You can also write that unsecure boot.img is working well for jelly bean, also for wwe build.
[Android General] Scarletdeath:
Is it possible to flash JB 4.1 wwe edition on a Singapore starhub padfone?
[Android General] schriss:
I wouldn't advise this. You don't know what exact version of ROM people are having when they use insecure boot.img.

There is no reason to flash and you can just cause some phone to go into boot loop, so why risk it.

Keeping it as is gives root in safest possible way.

[Android General] adnan.makarevic:
if i unlock, and root the device, after relock, i am able to receive ota updates? thanks!
[Android General] schriss:
We don't know, nobody tried. Maybe there is a counter like in Samsung devices or phone will be re-locked, not locked.

But why bother relocking, can download updates and manually update.
[Android General] adnan.makarevic:

wondering why it doesnt work for the padfone 2

also, Anyone can copy files to garmin map drive? I'm on jb tw firmware. Everytime i try to copy my malsingmap it hangs
[Android General] schriss:
60fps movie should play at 60fps unless phone or PC can't keep up with it.

I guess when you force it to play at 30fps you would get slow motion.

The whole point of 60fps is not slow motion but getting details when things move, rather than frames sharp in general, but blurred on moving objects.

Same with Hobbit and 48fps.

[Android General] pissos13:
So you flashed with original ICS, and then got update of Jelly Bean via OTA?

If is that way it seems that unlock tool only unlocks temporary, so in each update it gets locked again...

That's good, so its possible to get back to original only by reflashing an original rom :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] yogeshtulsiani:
I have bought a Droid Razr XT912 to be used outside US. I understand ICS will unlock the GSM bands. My question is, will loading a custom CDMA ROM based on ICS allow me to use the the phone on GSM networks outside US? This probably is a stupid question, but I wasn't able to find any direct answer to it.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] UduBobo:
I pretty sure that the xt912 is the american cdma version of the DROID RAZR, so installing ICS or any other ROM wont help you with gsm bands.

the CDMA have other anthena or something.

BUT check the correct model you have.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] yogeshtulsiani:
The XT912 has GSM bands as well. I'm pretty certain after going through these forums that the ICS update unlocks the GSM bands. I'm keen on a custom ROM coz it will get rid of most of the bloatware & give additional functionality as well.

Hello, I'd like to update my phone using Smartflash.

I have an official V20B rom which is rooted. I would like to install a new official rom but i'm completely lost when it comes to choosing the right version !

Where can I get the official V20S stock rom (which can be installed with smartflash)

Also, is there any official ICS rom ? (same, for smartflash), if so, is it fully stable ? Where can I get it ? (LG Mobile update says my phone is up to date... Huh)(I have read that you need to change the boot partition or something like that with ICS roms, is it valid for official ICS roms from LG too ?).

Do I have to unroot my phone before installing a new rom with Smartflash ?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] Vosetal:
1. Make sure that you have P990.

2. V20B should be a gingerbread.

3. If you read one post below yours, you could’ve find exactly what you ask official ICS for smartflash.

Hey, thanks in advance.

I accidentally flashed a wrong boot.img on my Flyer with fastboot and now it only shows a black screen after the HTC logo. I'm also not able to power it off. So I waited until the battery was empty, began to load the battery and then tried to get into recovery (fastboot) by pressing Volume-down + power switch. But it didn't work, it only started normally with the htc screen and then showed the black screen.

How can I access recovery again?

Do i need to connect it to the PC or does it have to have a minimum charge (40%) to work?

I'm sorry to ask such a question, but all the thread and tutorials only say "go into recovery", but they have no answer if that doesn't work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
you will want to make sure it has ample charge but unless you can see your device in adb you will have to get into hboot using power and volume down method

What if I can see my device with adb?

Cause that's the case, it's listed under "List of devices attached" if I enter "adb devices". It's state is "recovery".

I have had this problem ever since i got the Sensation and it doesn't matter what ROM i use, it's the same on every ROM. I have a samsung home surround sound system that i can connect to my phone through Bluetooth to enable me to play songs through the system. It works perfectly until the WIFI connection is being used on my phone. For example i could be streaming my music through BT and the WIFI is on, if the WIFI starts to be used for data like a Facebook notification or me opening my phones browser, then the song will start skipping and jumping. Normally it's not an issue but I've downloaded the Google Music App so that i can store all my songs online and that way i don't have to use my phone/cards storage space but as i want to play the music through my surround sound, i will have to be connected to both WIFI and BT.

Any suggestions why this does this?

Hi guys. I have a sony xperia t and i forgot my screen lock pin. i tried to find how to unlock it over the internet but none of the ways is working. If i connect it ot a computer and try to use the Sony PC Companion it says that the screen has to be unlocked. If i try to enter the recovery menu by holding the volume button and the power button it just vibrates 3 times and doesn't switch on at all. Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
enter recovery by turning off. Then turn on and only when you see the sony logo repeatedly press the volume up button.

What you are doing is the hard reset.

You could restore a backup you made before making the pin, of just do a factory reset. You will lose all your data, but you will be able to get into the phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
Pressing once is sufficient, if done at the right time.

If on stock, while the sony logo is displayed, wait for the notification led to turn violet. When violet, press and hold volume-up. This will bring you to recovery.

To retain your data, provided you rooted, you could try to get your /data folder via ADB. Or make a backup (tar, not dup!), format the phone and then manually extract the contents of the .tar file and restore your data.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pavkoni:
