[Asus Transformer TF700] Silent Lain:
Hello,

as the title implies the speaker of my Asus TF700 (WW version) has some sort of issue. In fact it appears to be broken.

I left the tablet in the keyboard dock with the charger plugged in overnight. After I woke up I wanted to listen to some music and started Poweramp (over the built in speaker). After 5 seconds of playback the music suddenly stopped.

- I muted and unmuted the tablet and still no sound

- Reboot didn't help either

- Changed sound effects in android settings; enabled/disabled Volume+, changed speaker volume increase setting; no luck

- After factory reset + re-flashing CROMI 3.0.3 + 3.0.4 patch stock kernel, fsync enabled I could enjoy... pure silence

The speaker seems to be dead out of the sudden.

However I noticed when I tap gently against the right side of my tablet or against the speaker the sound will eventually appears for 1-2 seconds and vanishes again. The same symptom appears when I plugged in my headphone or whatever external audio system (no problems through headphone jack) for at least 20 minutes and plug it out the sound appears from the speaker for 1-2 seconds and remain silent afterwards.

A short list of the installed things at the time the problem occured:

- unlocked (i got a .30 bootloader, from my understandings it's not possible to create a nvflash backup on that, so there is none...)

- CROMI 3.0.3 + 3.0.4 patch, fysnc disabled

- TF700: Clemsyn 1.5 - 1.8ghz 650GPU Kernel in performance mode

- Volume+: sound effects in android settings were set to Volume+ with speaker volume increase of 15 (other settings in Volume+ were left untouched);

it has been installed about 5 days before the issue occured

- MicroSD card and SD card were plugged in (no Data2SD)

Additional notes:

Bought it 7. Dec on amazon.de, got it 8. Dec and issue occured 29. Dec. Tablet has been traveled at least 2000km during that time and I carried it to almost everywhere I went with very heavy use every day.

It never fell from a high surface.

I also noticed I left my Samsung Galaxy Note on top of the Asus tablet during that night... I must have put that on it while I was half asleep...

Before I sent it in for RMA or to the vendor (dunno which I should prefer...) I want to make sure there isn't anything I can do software wise (I don't plan to open the tablet).

So if you have suggestions what I could do to fix this I'd be quite grateful. If nothing helps I guess it leaves me no choice but to live a while without the Asus TF700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The fact that tapping the back brings it back means you have a hardware fault.

Personally I'm the kind of person that would pop open the back and try to fix with a soldering iron :) probably a lose connection or bad solder joint.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Silent Lain:
Alright so it is a hardware issue...

Well I replaced the headphone jack on the Galaxy Note myself however on this device I'm not brave enough to fix the problem myself. :rolleyes:

Will report back once I got it back.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chachu19:
Currently I am on Baseband : 1.12.11.0809 and rooted with S-off.

I would like to get on meanbean, which requies that I update baseband.

I was't 100% sure on how to do this while still retaining S-Off.

I have downloaded the 3.15 ruu plus root, can I just load that and it will update everything and keep me s-off, or is there something else that needs to be done to ensure I retain s-off, with the latest update?

Anyhelp information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated!

I was reading the below thread, but wasn't sure if I installed the above RUU that s-off will still remain.

This will be the easiest since you are soff. Make sure the file is named PJ75IMG.ZIP and place on your external sd card. Boot into bootloader and it will ask if you want to update. Download the firmware minus Hboot and kernel.

Thank you both for the info, I just went ahead and updated successfully.

Out of curiosity is there any functional difference between hboot 1.12 and hboot 2.09?

On another note, I noticed that bigdaddy is running a different PRL then I have, is there a recommened PRL to use, or is it trial and error to see which one works best?

On a sidenote Thicklizard, I am also in the chicago area, nw burbs.

Thanks again for all the help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
There are a few PPL threads here on XDA I went with the recommendation from digiblur he takes the PRL's and dissects them the see what each offers

As for hboot 2.09 it seems HTC is trying to make it harder for us to have full control of our devices when we are S-ON

Here is an article you can look at http://www.pocketables.com/2012/12/...es-for-rooted-s-on-htc-evo-4g-lte-owners.html

But being S-OFF you can always manually update the firmware just like you just did :D

Happy New Year

First attempt at custom ROM, heard great things about All Star Rom - going straight for the v6! Unless told not to ... LOL

Have a rooted device,with latest TWRP recovery 2.3.3.1-hercules .tar flashed.

Have v6 and All-Star 4.2 custom gapps downloaded.

Copy of instructions for reference sake:

TWRP recovery recommended!

- wipe data

- wipe system

-(Use Darkside Super wipe if still on cwm 5.0.2.7 or below)

- flash rom

- flash All-Star 4.2 gapps

- wipe cache/ dalvik cache.

- reboot and wait 10 mins

- reboot and wait 1 minute

- Grant Superuser permissions for Switchme

- set up device.

- Initiate the CPU sleeper app

- (Highly Recommended) ENJOY!

Booting into TWRP recovery,

I don't specifically have a "wipe data" option, I want to be very thorough here.

Under "Wipe" I have Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, ... and System.

Quick answer? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
Hey, happy new years justaguy705. Nice to see you asking questions again.

To answer your question, the option where you see "Factory Reset" is the exact same as "Wipe data". Cheers!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] justaguy705:
Thank you once again mate - nice artwork submission btw. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
I keep getting "Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day" so thanks! I hope you'll enjoy the All-Star ROM, feel free to ask questions in the Development section, as you'll get quicker responses there. Once again, good luck on your ROM flashing journey, ahaha.

Is this possible to do completely throu my phone i dont have access to a computer im rooted on stock rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
Unless you have a recovery system already. You will need a computer to install a recovery system such as TWRP 2.3.3.0 to your phone through Odin (PC application).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cricketAC:
Yes it is. I rarely use or never use computer now.

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

Doesn't being rooted means he rooted himself via a recovery, unless he flashed stock rom again. In which it would wipe his recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
Hm, interesting... care to elaborate? It would definitely help out schkeet, your answer is rather blunt.

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

He may have a custom recovery file, but from what I know to install the latest and recommended TWRP recovery you would need to have a computer to flash it. But you are free to explain to him with your steps to flashing without a computer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schkeet:
Thank you i have cwm installed not sure what version or how to check thou..i rooted my phone back in the summer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
Make sure your phone is off and not connected to a USB cable. Press and hold the "volume up/volume down" keys and then press the power button until you feel a vibrate and the screen turns on. After that you should be in recovery mode and it will say the version you are using. If you have a CWM recovery version greater than 6.0 you should be able to flash a ROM through your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schkeet:
Yeah mines only 5.0.2.6 i need a computer to upgrade?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
Yes, to flash most of the newer ROMs for our phone it is recommended to use the latest CWM or TWRP recovery for our phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
You could use Mobile Odin to flash TWRP or CWM but Mobile Odin doesn't have all the features that regular Odin does.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schkeet:
Ok perfect how do i upgrade cmw or switch to twrp (whichever is the better choice)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
To flash TWRP on to your phone and you still do not have access to a computer, you can try using the Mobile Odin app on the Play store as android88 had mentioned above (however, the app is around $5.00 if you're willing to purchase it). Otherwise, flashing the recovery system through Odin using a computer is the way to do it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schkeet:
Oh im sorry for the confusion i have access to a friends computer (the same i used to root my phone) for the day just need instructions on how to go about doing it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
Well firstly, you need to make sure you have the proper drivers for the phone and Kies installed on your computer. You will also need to download Odin 1.8.5.

Now download the TWRP file which I mentioned before (just click on the name to get to the download link). Now read my post on how to get in to 'Download Mode'.

Once in download mode and you are connected (the box under 'ID:COM" should be displayed yellow). Load the .TWRP .tar file you downloaded where it says PDA.

Hit start and 'wait' until your phone 'completely' reboots. You will then have a new recovery system installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cricketAC:
After the initial installing recovery/rooting/unlocking stunt. I never hooked up my phone with my PC. I use Airdroid for files transfering while i just download over wifi/3g+ whatever ROMS/addons i want and flash it via recovery (in my case thats TWRP).

I'm obsessed with theming my Android devices. Usually, I use Cyanogenmod 9/10, Nova Launcher Prime, Widget Locker, and Ultimate Custom Clock Widget (UCCW). Nova Launcher lets you set custom icons, scroll effects, widget sizes, etc. Widget Locker lets you put widgets on your lockscreen and download custom unlock sliders. UCCW lets you create or download premade widgets. It is the best app for creating your own custom clocks, weather apps, etc. Cyanogenmod lets you set custom themes so you can change the color scheme of Android. Download/make a custom icon pack and a high resolution wallpaper and you should be set.

Hey,

Well I got my N7 yesterday and played around with it and all in all I think that it's a good tablet with 4.2.1. I find it to be slow sometimes when I am typing fast or using chrome.

If I did decide to root could I backup my device before I do so I can just restore and carry on like nothing has changed.

What are the advantages of rooting the N7, I know I can speed it up and delete stock apps.

Would appreciate it if someone helped me out.

Also if I do root can someone post
[Nexus 7 General] Spunkiest:
So that its a good idea to root then, can I backup before I root so I can carry on from normal?
[Nexus 7 General] littleemp:
I suggest that you learn what is root access and what you can do with it before doing so, rooting is not a goal, but the means to an end.

What I usually tell anyone who asks this question is: Do it if you need root access for something specific (can be as insignificant as one app). And if you need to ask without knowing if you have to root, then the answer is no until you understand what it is you're doing.

Edit: Do some research on root access and it's benefits/drawbacks and Nexus factory restore images to put your mind at ease on rolling back to stock. Having root access in and out of itself is harmless, what the user chooses to do with that can be dangerous, especially if what they are looking to do is delete system files.

Edit 2: Assuming that you are using stock firmware, I have heard of slowdowns caused by Google currents and its background sync. Try turning off the background sync and see if that helps with your issues.
[Nexus 7 General] Miami_Son:
Don't just do something just to do it. Rooting alone will add nothing to your device or its performance. Rooting allows access to areas of the operating system for apps that require it, but these are generally limited to backup apps and those that modify certain settings. It also makes a device more vulnerable to some serious problems if done wrong or if you misuse an app that has root access. If you are unsure, best to leave it alone until you know what the benefits are exactly and whether or not you need it. BTW, rooting will void your warranty on most devices and unless you understand how to recover from a problem and return your device to stock in the event you need warranty service or exchange, I would stay away from it.
[Nexus 7 General] Brandon Simion Sebok:
I was also thinking of rooting with the Nexus Root Kit. And i also saw that you have an option to "Flash Stock+Unroot" has anybody tried this toolkit ?
[Nexus 7 General] james robinson:
ROOTING is a NECESSITY!!!
[Nexus 7 General] Amazing_Antony:
meh, like others said, only root if there is something you need and to those that say you dont lose anything thats a tad wrong, some apps check for root and dont let you run them. There are apps that hide the root but from personal experience they dont always work for everything.
[Nexus 7 General] Adinaky:
I tried it. I unlocked and rooted my N7 with it and I also flashed stock and unrooted it, because something went wrong and I had to do it (that mistake was made by me, not by the program:D). Everything went very good and fast, I recommend it (it's your choice to use a toolkit or not), but read everything carefully!
[Nexus 7 General] Blixz:
Of course all of this depends on what you want to do with the device after root. There is no point if you want to stick custom ROMs on it as being a nexus device it will constantly be updated. Only if you require root access to a specific application should you root the device. But also take into consideration if it is worth it. If it is for a minor improvement then you have the potential to brick the device and void warrenty for nothing. Only do it if there is a genuine need.
[Nexus 7 General] Brandon Simion Sebok:
Thanks a million :) i was hesitating , but if you say it works great , I'll take your word :D
[Nexus 7 General] AngryGamer025:
Is there any way to backup all my app and games ( with all my progress I have made) before unlocking the boothloader?

Send from my Nexus 7 using XDA Developers premium app in Dutchy style
[Nexus 7 General] Miami_Son:
In a word, no. Titanium Backup will not even run on an unrooted device. Other backup apps may run on an unrooted device, but you will not be able to restore data from them if you are not rooted, only the actual apps. You need to first unlock the bootloader to root a Nexus 7.

So you decided to take the advice of people who have been here months over that of others who have been here years. Good for you!:good:
[Nexus 7 General] Adinaky:
I know I've been here only for one year, but I learnt many useful things. I tried this program and it works great, I recommend it, but only if you need something fast and simple and you don't want to learn anything. You can do it the hard way to discover something new, right? It's his choice after all, isn't it?
[Nexus 7 General] knuckles1978:
+1

Not for everyone though.
[Nexus 7 General] littleemp:
I don't advocate against the use of toolkits myself (as I've used even used them on my own N7), but I would at least urge you to understand what it is you're doing before you do it. And by that I don't mean knowing enough to manually input every command, just know enough to understand why you're doing something and have a general idea of how it is accomplished.

Trust me, learning a little bit before using the automated route saves you and everyone else a lot of crying and hand holding over simple matters if something ever goes wrong.
[Nexus 7 General] Adinaky:
Yep, certainly. It's nothing wrong in learning something, it won't hurt anybody.
[Nexus 7 General] mjs2011:
Yep agreed. As someone that's done it the hard way too many times I can't wait to use a toolkit when i get this device. Lol
[Nexus 7 General] Miami_Son:
This guy gets it.:cool:
[Nexus 7 General] jporter396:
Just root as soon as possible and be done with it and never look back.
[Nexus 7 General] Miami_Son:
Yeah, go ahead and root it. What could possibly go wrong?

[Nexus 7 General] drakenabarion:
I read on another forum (with a 4 thread microscopic N7 section - therefore might be inaccurate) that rooting disables access to Google Videos. Well I don't live in a country that HAS access to Google Videos so I can not test this.
[Nexus 7 General] rasi_x:
Adaway needs root rights. reason enough for me :)
[Nexus 7 General] Miami_Son:
Ads are generally only a problem with free and trial apps. If I like an app enough to keep using it, I support the developer by paying for the ad-free version.
[Nexus 7 General] damagedgoods:
There is definitely something to be said for learning how to root and flash your device using good old fastboot and adb. Whilst the toolkits here are very well made and supported by their respective devs it is a good idea to understand what the toolkit is doing in the background. That way in the unlikely event things go tits you can jump in a fix the problem manually.

Root is a great idea if you're looking to squeeze more performance out of your device and in my admittedly humble opinion the Nexus devices are a joy to work with. From unlocking the bootloader, flashing custom recoveries, gaining root, roms, kernels the whole thing just wants to be tweaked and twiddled with. Its what I believe Android was always meant to be.

My phone, on the other hand, really isnt. Lol
[Nexus 7 General] jlvlawrence:
Definitely do your research before diving in. Know what to do if you make as mistake during the process. Use the search BUTTON! Currently running CyanogenMod 10.1 on my HTC droid incredible, galaxy nexus, Motorola Xoom, and nexus 7. Running smoothly on all of them. Do your research! Then root that thing!

[RAZR i General] mschmiedel:
In the recent days, I was struggling against my XT890 that was hardlocked for sim-unlock by the carrier (it was already hardlocked when I unboxed it).

What I did was the following:

1. Install Motorola drivers (Device Manager)

2. Install RSD Lite

3. In my case, I downloaded a retail brazilian ROM (carrier-free) from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1933308

4. Install an unauthorized SIM card into the phone.

5. Put the phone in Recovery (Power + Vol-down) and flash the ROM with RSD Lite.

6. When the phone reboots, it should ask for the SIM unlock code. In my case, I entered a wrong code and the phone locked again, then I reflashed the ROM and I got another chance.

Disclaimer: even though this process doesn't require you to unlock the bootloader, flashing a ROM is always risky and I will not assume any responsability if you brick your phone or if for some reason your warranty is void after this process. In other words, do it at your own risk! If you don't have a backup of your ROM or a stock fastboot package for your carrier, you will not be able to return to your stock ROM.

[RAZR i General] Deleted member 3429957:
What do you mean by you get another chance ? Do you mean that the hard lock is removed ? If that its the case have you unlocked it with unlock codes ?
[RAZR i General] mschmiedel:
Hi,

That's right. However, I have to say that I have tested it with the mexican Telcel version, and I've seen other people having the same result that I got, since we didn't unlock the bootloader, you shouldn't have issues with the warranty.

However, we haven't tested it with other versions, so you can take it as a resource, but I cannot guarantee that it will work for you...

Regards
[RAZR i General] Semseddin:
Hello,

I didn't get how you managed to unlock an hardlocked XT890. I did flash the brazilian retail rom on a eu hardlocked xt890 and it didn't remove hardlock nor accepted the right code. Then flashed back to eu stock rom but simlock just persisted to stay.
[RAZR i General] mschmiedel:
Well,

It's weird, I unboxed my Razr I and it was already "hardlocked", indicating I had to wait for the penalty timer. After I installed the brazilian retail via RSD, I got another chance, but I messed up with the code, so it locked again with the same message. I reflashed and then I was able to enter the unlock code. I have to say that I used a ROM that resets the phone data (there are also service upgrades that don't delete user data). Maybe that could be a reason. My phone is the mexican Telcel version, I have seen another person having success with this procedure with the same version, don't know if there are limitations on the european versions, but it shouldn't be.

Maybe if you do a factory reset before flashing? Did you use RSD Lite 6?
