I also think it's a hardware problem. Will take a more careful look at the battery.

Its possible that there isn't "water damage", but there could be moisture getting into the phone causing it to act erratic. To cancel out that possibility, submerge it in a closed container full of rice for a few days

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjorge3442:
Hows it going guys. Been using a Captivate now for a month (mostly on CM9, CM 10 as of a yesterday) and now I am being told I ahve an IMEI error. I have ALWAYS had issues with this phone as far as data connection goes (sometimes I can only use Opera as a browser) and maybe this has been the main problem. The software IMEI does not match the number behind the battery door. Is this a problem that AT&T would fix?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
You can restore your IMEI by going back to stock KK4 with Odin (or Heimdall). Or if you have a backup of your efs folder (highly suggested).

You can go back to CM10 after without any problem. KK4 -> flash Corn kernel -> Flash CM10 and Gapps.

Hopefully your IMEI will stay fine but if not, you have your efs backup so just swap it by either mounting system or with a root explorer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bane99:
And usually to prevent additional mismatches in IMEI, it's advised to remove the SIM card before flashing. I haven't had a problem doing that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjorge3442:
So i apparently made a big mistake. I simply flashed back to stock kernal while still running CM10, so that obviously messed things up. I then use oneclick un brick and went back to 100% stock. While running Keis to update back to gingerbread, the update failed and now I have the phone ! computer screen showing. Neither my laptop nor my desktop are recognizing the device. What should I do now?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Search before posting? lol

Here it is: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1953930

There's abolutely no reason to go back to 2.1 eclair. You should flash Odin KK4 without bootloaders when things like this happen. Now you'll have to flash Odin KK4

with

bootloaders
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjorge3442:
Ok. So i have FINALLY got my phone back up and running after all sorts of issues. I found myself in a position were I had to build a jig to make this damn phone work again.

Ok so, I once again have thie IMEI conflict. I am sitting on 4.2.1 AOSP Jelly Bean. I installed everything without having the sim card in this time, so now I am unsure why this error occurred. I can use my phone to make calls, send texts, and use the internet, so im not really sure what it's deal is. All i know is that I don't want to be stuck using my old blackberry again, so I am going to make sure I know the correct steps to follow to fix this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
I believe I mentioned this before but when flashing to stock KK4, you should make a backup of your efs folder. It contains your IMEI and restoring your backup would fix your problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjorge3442:
so, just to be clear. I just need to flash the stock KK4 kernal to my phone to fix the IMEI number? I would use odin to do this right?

Sorry for all teh noob questions. I just dont wanna end up in the same terrible situation i got myself into last time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
You'd need to use Odin KK4 to get back to stock, make a backup of your efs folder, flash Corn kernel and then flash the ROM you wanna use.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjorge3442:
Thanks! I for some reason thought this is what I tried to do before, when it ended up crashing my phone. The stock kernel will run with what ever custom rom I still have installed?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Odin KK4 is a ROM, it will bring you back to stock GB. From there, you'll have to follow the steps I posted above.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjorge3442:
so ive been having issues with my phone as I've been too busy to reset to the stock rom. Is this what I should be using? With or without bootloaders? xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386924
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Without bootloaders if you're already on GB or higher.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjorge3442:
ok. So i have sucessfully created backups of my EFS folder using both EFSPro and Super Manager. Problem now is that I cannot get EFSPro to recognize that my captivate with HellyBean installed is connected to me PC. Also, Super Manager will not allow me to paste my copied EFS folder into the directory. What should I do now?

EDIT: Alright, So I flashed to stock, flashed a semaphore kernel and then installed CM9.1. From here after connecting and disconnecting the phone a few times I was able to get EFSPro to push the recovery tar to my phone. It reboot, but when I check the IMEI, it still is the generic one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
You could simply make a copy of your efs folder and use a root explorer to switch it if your IMEI doesn't match.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjorge3442:
so the efs folder i backed up with Super Manager cannot be restored by Super Manager? If I have to buy root explorer, thats not a big deal, but if i dont, well then its silly to purchase it it. Root explorer will however allow me to restore the efs folder that I have backed up onto my pc?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1batt1:
I suggest root browser lite. It is the best root explorer I've personally used and its free.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
There are a few free root explorers out there, I personally use Root Explorer but you can use a free one. It only needs root right.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjorge3442:
ok so I am still having issues over here. I have efs folder that I backed up with Super Manger while I was still on Gingerbread right after rooting with a working IMEI. It has three files and one folder in it. an empty IMEI folder, a Cryptprop_onetimeboot, cyrptprop_securewipe data, and nv text document. When I used root explorer light to copy the backup folder to the current efs folder, I found about 7 files there. I deleated them, pasted the backup folder contents and restarted my phone and I still have the generic IMEI. There was also a folder in current efs folder called lost and found which I cannot deleat.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Did you verify the backup you made before flashing? The IMEI shouldn't be empty so I'm thinking you got a bad backup.

Are you getting any error with your generic IMEI?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjorge3442:
If I install any os above 9.1 the error pops up on startup and I have random service issues. On 9.1 I have zero as far as I know. I'll have to flash to stock and grab another copy of my efs i guess.

Does anyone have the separate files for stock 2.1 eclair for the i897 cappy?? Ii have build 1010 and the one click soft bricks it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
One click doesn't soft-brick if used correctly and not interupted.

Here is a compilation of all the stock Odin (and some heimdall): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1300843

Remember that using the 2.1 Odin3 one click, you're flashing bootloaders, which is risky and *will* brick your phone if interupted.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aldiggah:
I have tried numerous time to no avail...remember i have build 1010, and sopposedly does not work well with oneclick, i will try without the bootloaders... thanks

just tried, it does say pass..but it doesn't load...then i have to use the jig to get it into download mode

This is a small tutorial in how to get working the AOSP ICS email app in ACE SIII rom by winxuser.

1-First of all download this app from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1728308&highlight=hotmail

2-Copy it to system/app using a root explorer and set permissions to rw-r-r

3-Reboot your device.

Note: If you want to sync a hotmail account follow this steps (thanks to xeni):

I was able to get it to work by doing the following however "Push" doesn't work so you will need to set a timer like 15+ minutes since hotmail doesn't allow anything lower then 15 mintues.

1. Enter username and password and click on manual setup

2. Choose POP3 setup

3. Server: pop3.live.com and Security Type: SSL/TLS Accept all certificates

4. Click next to outgoing settings

5. Verify smtp server is: smtp.live.com

6. Security Type: STARTTLS accept all certificates

I was able to send and receive email after performing the following setup.

Nice to see another guide on unlocking and flashing TWRP ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
I was thinking a "how to root without unlock" one should be next.... ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McJesus15:
Haha we have to wait for the amazingly smart people here to find an exploit for Jelly Bean. Although unlocking and flashing a custom rom is the way to go
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
Yeah, the How to was going to be:

Step1) You can't.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] abazz:
So you finally did it... Did your warranty run out or did the frustration finally get to you?

I'm still holding off for now. In a way its a good thing an exploit hasn't been found, it means google have made the system fairly secure.

Next weekend I'm going to give finding an exploit one last red hot go. Failing that (and I'm sure i will) I'll be joining you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
I wanted to flash the Energy rom because of the near double quadrant scores people were posting. Little did I (or the chef) know that the Kernel was set to 1.8GHZ and constantly running 1.6. CPU throttling did little to inhibit that and even if you set it back to 1.4 it still ran 1.6 when max CPU was needed :( The back cover temp went from 90 deg while playing an interactive game for 20 minutes to 108.5 deg when playing the same game for 20 minutes. I had to think that was compromising stability and longevity as well as battery life so I flashed back my stock backup I made via TWRP and rooted as above.

I wouldnt mind going back when the kernel is more controllable. I'm actually playing with backtrack 5 now that I am rooted and EDS with mounts to truecrypt volumes so glad I am rooted, would have rather not voided the warranty :(

I think the policy should be that if you unlock things like the screen and wireless etc.. should still be covered but since they can't control overclocking etc... those kinds of issues are not.

Between 3 kids events, Holiday stuff I barely have the time to do the things I want to do let alone invest time in hacking this device =/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jetpackjeff:
Thanks for the guide. Picked up a second hand Prime + Dock online with a locked boot loader. Following your guide I had it unlocked, rooted, and with CM10 in about half an hour or less.

I guess I need to go look in to CM10, I see plenty of people using it and talking about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McJesus15:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Protato:
Thanks worked perfectly, I'm on CM10 now :)

Btw, you should change this line (because it's kinda wrong):

Let it runs its course. When done I had a black screen with ASUS in the middle and a blue-ish bar across the bottom that was filled. I had to hold power until it rebooted. ( I waited about 5 minutes with that blue bar filled before looking up onilne to power off. I would recommend waiting a couple of minutes to be sure/safe)

For this part the blue bar across the bottom did show up but not the ASUS logo, for me the tablet stayed on the same page with the USB logo and the other stuff and the blue bar across the bottom (not the Asus logo).

Fail

Doesn't work for me. I'm trying to switch to TWRP from an ever flakier CWM that won't do a backup. I'm already unlocked and rooted but still with stock ROM (which won't update any more because I'm rooted.)

The fastboot flash finishes ok but when I try to boot into recovery I get the message that it is loading the recovery kernel and then it just boots into Android. I have no recovery at all now which is kind of scary.

(God I hate this device for noodling with. Whenever you miss a beat you're looking at a 5 minute uninteruptable boot/shutdown cycle to try again. Everything outside of the Andorid zone itself is so baroque, archaic and intricate that feels like Windows 1.0. More than once mine has come within a nat's ass of being introduced to the wall at high velocity.)

Oh, how utterly silly of me. Because I rooted long ago I didn't get the JB upgrade OTA so I'm still with ICS. The blob I needed was

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf201/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-tf201-ICS.blob

(At least I determined that flashing the JB blob onto ICS is not catastrophic.)

Maybe I'm not the only one in this state. It might be a good idea in the text to tell others of the ICS option.

The reason I'm here is that I want to install CM10 so I wanted to back up first. When I do that upgrade I assume this ICS TWRP will cease working and I will then need to fastboot flash the JB blob, right? Or might I have a "Can't get there from here" kind of problem?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GreginNH:
Thanks for the links and write up.

2 questions.

Do I need an SD card or is the internal storage ok to use.

And, what part of this process roots the device?

Thanks!

**EDIT**

Never mind, I am a bonehead. I had my prime replaced due to a camera defect, so they shipped me a new one running JB.

So I have been away from teh forum a couple of months...didn't realize a way to get around locked, un-rooted, JB had been found.

Thanks again!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nklenchik:
Thanks for writing this up, I can't thank you enough. About a month ago I hard bricked my prime and had to send it in to Asus to have it repaired (thankfully I didn'y get charged). I tried installing twrp but didn't check the md5; this was well written. Wish I could give you a hug.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EpicLPer:
I know maybe some people will think I'm dumb now or something... But I want to ask before I begin and maybe brick it :)

So this really WORKS with the LATEST OTA update from Asus? I searched everywhere for days/weeks/months already and found this today so I'm a little bit sceptic, hope you understand me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EpicLPer:
Ok, unlocked and rooted my device now! Awesome ^-^

Sorry for my stupid other post :) Should have read everything clearly first ;)

Anyway, can someone explain me why nvflash doesn't work anymore once used the JB bootloader? I don't understand why it doesn't work anymore, has this something special to do?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mfratto:
This should be cleaned up and stickied. The stickies at the top of the forum are out of date. I know, because I have searched for help on getting root on a TF201 that had root but lost it on the update to JB. Searches return the same out of date information that is invariably wrong.

Perhaps add this to your instructions about getting the unlocker to work.

Getting the unlocker to work is not always straight forward. There are a few options to getting and using the unlocker explained here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1510737. On first use, the app sat busy for several minutes and ended with a message about network error. I tried again and this time, the app noted I had no gmail credentials (I had wiped my tablet) and did I want to continue without them. I said yes and it failed saying something like "too Busy, try again later." I added my Google account to my TF201 and tried again. This time it asked me to verify my login, I did and it unlocked.

When using this method is the TWRP recovery permanent?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EpicLPer:
Recovery is ALWAYS permanent. Expect you format it but you'll never do that by accident or never would do that while trying things. You must be "a really freaking noob" to manage it to delete or damage the recovery by accident.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] predictablyerratic:
I use to push a CWM temporary recovery to my galaxy nexus every time I wanted to flash a rom. This method would rewrite with stock recovery each time I did a reboot. To make it permanent I could either flash through rom manager or use a file directory to delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] predictablyerratic:
I thought I would upload a couple photos. The first is while the unlock tooling is running its course. The second is after sending the TWRP file. It only took about 20 seconds for the recovery file to send and the blue progress bar to fill. I did use the newer TWRP files from their page. I think it is 2.3.3.0 at this time.

The first is the link to the TWRP page from the OP...

The second is the most current TWRP recovery from the link above as of Jan 23 (TWRP 2.3.3.0 at the time of this post). This link is for the Prime on the stock JB bootloader only. If you need the ICS version you will find it on the first link.
