digitizer error

I am wondering if some of these failures in installing the new digitizer is from the screws being put back in wrong cause I did notice that on assembly and dis assembly some screws have thread lock on them and the ones for the digitizer little board do not because the go through it to ground it to the frame would be interesting to see how many times that is the problem such small screws I could see over looking this

Waited 2-1/2 weeks for this to ship and 1-1/2 weeks to arrive.. This did NOT work. And,, it kept my keyboard from working properly.. Seems the touch response was so f'd up that when you would attempt to use the keyboard, it would nullify what you were trying to do by creating some sort of touch response..

Put the old TS PCB back in and was back to just a non-responsive digitizer.

Unlocked the unit but could not "root" it.. USB drivers for Windows simply would not take on two different machines. Was able to put CWM on via SD card but could not root..

Loaded latest stock ROM from ASUS in hopes of repairing the unit - it wiped off CWM and now my option to link through USB from the recovery menu isnt even there anymore.

screw this - I'm done............. Ya'll have fun - I'm going to go play Frisbee with this f'ing life sucking POS..
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuraterm:
Be a little optimistic, if you cannot install drivers for your windows xp, use universal driver pack like samdrivers.

On a latest stock ROM when you press vol "-" , you already in fastboot mode, just flash twrp and root your device.

When your keyboard is not working, it looks like you not inserted some cable deeply in slot. Check all connections between boards.

So I seem to run into an issue now.

About a month ago I replaced the digitizer with a G03 and flashed the firmware needed.

Everything was going good and upgraded to 4.2.

Now, (Started like 2 weeks ago) my screen will not response right, I enabled the option to show touches and it shows a touch on top right side of the screen constantly. So when I press somewhere it's like 2 touches. Not sure how this came about or what the issue is. I'm still on 4.2 and tried to reflash the touch firmware but with no luck.

Could this be a hardware issue? Touching in twrp works fine, get good response but not sure if 2 touches would do anything in recovery.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've seen it on some devices. Replacing the digitizer didn't help.

Usually, when reflashing, it recalibrates the digitizer making the "stuck" dot disappear.

It actually disables touches on that spot making some area not working.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slappified:
First, search your computer for adb.exe to find all of them. When you install the ASUS software it installs an adb.exe also which is why you get the out of date error. Just change the ASUS adb file extension to something else so that only the other adb is an exe.

Then I just plugged my tablet in with no fastboot anything, just have it turned on and run the commands exactly like quoted.

Rooting TF300 (with broken glass)

Hello People,

I have a question about rooting my TF300 (android version 4.2.1).

Is this possible and how should i do this?

I have tried to root the device by going into recovery mode, but this is not working because I get a dead android (red triangle) so i'm not able to install anything in that mode. Is there another method to root? I'm using a USB adapter (from ASUS shop) to control it with a mouse, this works perfectly

My intension is to flash the touch panel PCB and place a G01 TS.

Another strange thing is, i'm unable to find the developer options (to enable the USB debugging mode), It isn't there like most of the posts say (maybe due software version).

Thank you!

Thanks everone, cracked screen fixed.

thanks to everone on these forums for your hard work. I managed to repair my TF300T using info from various forums.

Here is the story. Had JellyBean 4.2.1 and a cracked digitizer, the rare version that you cant buy anymore. So ordered a G01 version from ebay. Managed to do the physical swap based on a youtube video. Then tried to update firmware. CWM recovery didnt work. TWRP 2.5 didnt work either because it uses touch. so ended up using motochopper to root the device and then used adb commands with usb debugging on to update the firmware for the touch panel. awesome! Thanks again to everone for posting all the files and instructions. you are amazing!:good:

Digi resurrected - now a shambling zombie

Hi guys

I have been following this thread from the beginning, and have now managed to replace my broken 5158n with a G01 and downgraded the touch firmware from 4822 to 4820 which brought my digi back to life. I wasn't able to root my device using CW, twrp or motochopper, but still managed to flash using adb commands. But not being root made me unable to rm the old firmwares.

After getting back to life, the tab seem a bit sluggish in its responses, and load times of my weather app, mail and so on. I put it down to upgrading taking place after having been turned off for so long. The touches worked all though also sluggish. I let the tab drain all its power, and screwed all the little screws back and mounted it in the plastic back cover. after a recharge and power on, it worked some minutes then all hell broke loose. Now I get random touches happening all over the screen without me touching anything. I can still get some response, but its usually overridden by new ghost touches somewhere else on the screen. Its both multitouches and single ones, and happens all over the screen according to a touchtester I had installed.body

This puzzles me, as I can understand if the aligment might be a little out of whack the precision might be off, but these random touches I can't relly understand. I mean if some dust or similar got in there as I was assembling things would there not have been ghosts from the start ?

Of course a BIG thanks to everyone that have participated in this thread with valuable hints and input- it's really been a lifesaver, and I am o grateful that more tech savy people than me are willing to help micronerds like me.

Anybody have any ideas about the ghosting ?

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
Now, this is an interesting phenomenon. Did you erase the 4822 firmware? Normally, when you push 4820, this gets overwritten on its own, but who knows? Can you navigate to the /touch/ folder and see what's in there? I posted a pic of my tab on page 24. Does yours differ in any way? Additionally, I've noticed that overtightening the screws produced weird results. For instance, it cuts off the left channel on headphones audio. A bent board spawning ghost touches wouldn't surprise me. I turn the screws just snugly. If you worry they might fall off, use some loctite. Check the firmware first, then cables, then loosen the screws maybe half-a-turn to see. Report the results if you could. Good luck.

using a root explorer

Have a TF300T with replacement white label digi and keyboard. Rooted with Motochopper (very easy).

I replaced broken white label digi with the same white label digi and no touch function. The tablet worked fine with the keyboard. I rooted with motochopper and followed volpe_astuta advice to use a root explorer (in my case "Root Brower") to add the 02-3011-4820.ekt file to [ /system/etc/firmware/touch/04-3021-7038.ekt. I just did not understand the other method to use Vadimbrk SDK method as I am not familiar with this interface.

I say added the firmware as there was no other firmware file I could see to remove. The TF300T rebooted and updated the firmware as stated in the post and now the touchscreen works.

What i do notice is the FT300T takes a longer time to boot up and it is constantly locking up and resetting. Also the Touch screen seams to have dead spots that do not function. I am assuming I have a conflict with the firmware addition.

1) Any recommendation to fix my software conflict?

2) Do you think my digi is bad? It came from China like all the rest (not sure if these are Digis that did not pass QC).

Hello! I am hoping someone here can help me with the problem I have been having. I have a TF300 and my screen does not always respond. Because f a bootloader brick I have replaced my MB. I had a thought that maybe replacing the MB would fix this, but it did not.

I know I am on G REV01 for my tablet. It was a referb from amazon so I dont know if something was replaced from them that was not 100% compatible. I DONT KNOW! All I know is that I can get to everything thanks to my dock. The screen will respond one minute then not respond the next.

I did go into the dev options and click show touches. I can see the touches but only when the screen is responding. If it is not responding then I cant do sh**t. I have thought about replacing the screen AND the screen board. But I have heard of some people having issues replacing that board.

Any help before I pull the trigger would be great!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
From where I am standing, it's not a question of compatibility. If it is, then it wouldn't work at all. Since you've replaced the MB, then you can rule it out too. Now the question I have is whether you'd had this problem with the old MB. If not, then the components are not at fault, but perhaps how you put them back together when changing the MB, most likely, bad connections. But I'd flash another rom first to be certain it's not the damn software that's playing tricks on you.

Past that, it leaves us with 3 possibilities: the touchscreen itself, the TS board, or the cables. Normally if interferences come from the screen (ghost touches) that prevent responses, they would show when you turn on “show touches” in settings. Your case doesn't sound like it.

You might want to redo all the cables first, and we can take it from there. I'd say pay close attention to the touchscreen ribbons. They should go all the way in, but not too far in. Inspect the connectors on the TS boards, make sure they are not damaged, especially the pins inside.

I just finished reading this thread and would like to make two comments.

Kudos to everyone! This thread is what XDA is about. Everyone giving their problems and contributing to others as they learn and progress. It doesn't get better than this.

I don't have a touch issue but I do have one thing to contribute.

Why do I have tf700 files on my tablet and how did I get them? Numerous custom roms are used on both the tf300 and tf700 units and include files for both (touch screen included).

It might be advantageous to remove the conflicting files (tf700) before trying to update software or replacing a pcb. This would prevent loading tf700 files.

I'd agree. Have a tab with a hairline crack on the digitizer, and it'd start going haywire after being turned on for a few minutes. In my case though, with "show touches" on, it'd show random touches all over the area near the fracture.

Ghost touches - solved

After a lot of tinkering i located the source of my ghosts to these little locks:

They are normally covered by some rubber things that hold them down, but when replacing the digitizer you need to yank out the flat cables attatched there and might (as I did) accidentally unlock the white "plastic lids" concealed under the rubber pads. The white parts can rock between open and locked positions, and one of mine was semi open. When i closed it- all ghostings vanished as the cable and connector now connected properly.

Finally after this long ordeal my TF-300 lives again.

I cannot stress how thankful I am to everyone in here for their knowledge and creativity in solving these issues- wish I could contribute more.

TS PCB Clips

You may try re installing the two ribbon connectors to the TS PCB. There are white lines on the ribbon cable as a guide not to push the ribbon in to far to the connector before you lock down the white tab. I found one of my white tabs was busted and caused the ghosting and dead areas on the Touch screen. The little metal wires were busted on the white clip so the ribbon cable could not make the proper connection.
