[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
Hi there. I finally took the time to take apart my cracked tf300t only to see that I have the 5158n Digitizer. I just want to confirm that if I purchase a G-01, and flash the firmware, all will work. I am currently running the older version of Cromi and have a dock / keyboard. Can I run the firmware update command via a rooted terminal window or do I have to connect it to the computer?

Thanks in advance!

Thak you yuraterm

Can you please tell me how can i do that?

2 Stempanssi: Twice check and wipe with a spirit all ribbon connections. (Mother to TS PCB ribbon, TS PCB ribbon to TS PCB, TS PCB to touchscreen).

2 pyraxiate: it will work, you may download firmware and update it from terminal without a computer.

2 srulamen: Carefully smoke page 11 of this topic.

Q?

Thank you yuraterm,

Dose the touch screen firmware update command that in page 11 is also for tf700?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuraterm:
2 srulamen: Yes, android is the same.

But use firmware for tf700.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stempanssi:
Yes but the strange thing is that when I lifted the dig up so that it didnt touch anything else than the ribbon so it had no random touches...

And even with no dig connected at all there is still random touches everywhere...
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
Firmware updated without an issue using root terminal app :) For those who need / want a successful log to compare to, I'm attaching mine. Anyone who is already rooted and has a dock, just run a terminal app and save yourself a ton of headache. Now im just waiting on my G01 to come in the mail. FWIW , I disconnected the ribbon to the TP Daughterboard before flashing ( after flipping the switch AND pulling the battery cable lol ).

Heres the update log : http://db.tt/iXZsvQqo

Screenshots are attached of before and after FW Updates. Thanks to everyone! Now I just have to hope my new digitizer isnt a dud :D

One thing to note though. In my /system/etc/firmware/touch folder, I left everything as is and did not delete. I did also see that there was 02-3011-4820.ekt as well as 03-3011-4820.ekt . I flashed the 02 version since it has been the most widely used with success, but, it looks like the other is an updated version?

tf300t touch screen not working

Hi all,

My wife dropped her tf300t down and broke the touch screen and lcd screen.

So, I bought both (same model and make as the original )

after installing them, the LCD screen lit up and worked as normal, but the touch screen was unresponsive. I re-opened the tablet to check all the cables and all looked ok and are good connected.

I then thought maybe the touch screen PCB was damage, but I pressed the reset button on the PCB and it worked.

So, I am currently stuck with a working tablet without the touchscreen. How can I resolve this.

And yes all parts are the same model and make as the originals.

The touchscreen model is G03.

Does anyone have an idea how i can resolve this issue?

Thanks,

Chris

Somehow I have the feeling that you didn't read the previous pages in the thread about this kind of problem. (1) one part - the reset button - works doesn't guarantee other parts are working; (2) you need to reflash the firmware every time you put in a new digitizer (to give you an idea, I once swapped in a good digitizer of the same model to a tab and the darn thing refused to budge until I reflashed the firmware); and (3) if you put it in while the tab is being fed with battery current, as in you didn't switch the mainboard off, you might have managed to fry one of the coils, in which case the cure is to replace the mother board. Review the thread and proceed with caution. Good luck.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
Actually, if he fried a coil, he can bypass it...... no need for another motherboard. Either drop a blob of solder over the entire old bad coil, use a thin short wire and bridge it, or replace it with another actual coil. Either way, no need for a completely new motherboard.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
That certainly makes sense, but only if one has soldering skills fit for such a chore. I have some experience with soldering but couldn't replace a coil of comparable size without scraping those around it. And I wouldn't advise that the person do anything other than replacing it with a similar coil, which is kind of difficult given that no one knows its exact specs. A solid bridge might do temporarily, though there's a reason why the design requires a coil (or fuse) there in lieu of a straight PCB circuit. Just a word of caution.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
Nah for bridging it, almost no skill is required. 1 single blob dripped onto the whole coil will bridge it. There is plenty of space around it. As long as he remembers to flip the tiny service switch to off the next time he has to work on it, there will be no ill effects.

At least it saves him from buying a new board and it is a permanent solution. Worst case scenario is he forgets to disconnect the battery and flip the switch next time, in which case he will need a new boardb which is what was suggested to him the first time. ....
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
This photo was posted earlier. There's at least 1.5mm clearance all around the coil in question. Even a novice should be able to bridge that. If not, they really shouldn't be attempting to replace the digitizer in the first place lol.

As far as removing and replacing the coil, I agree. It does take some skill. Removing the burned one should be easy with a small copper braid. Attaching a new one though, I'd suggest liquid solder, a heat gun, and a long pick to hold it in place. Liquid solder has a much lower melting point than the surrounding components and the resin pulls the solder to the metal contacts. Makes it much easier.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stempanssi:
Nothing seems to work. I have used scotch double sided "tape" and theres is like 10 ghost touches constantly moving everywhere. Cleaning ribbons and reflashing firmware does not help.

What is wrong?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
constantly moving everywhere...

This is what I had once, though with a TF101. I can't think of anything beyond the two following causes: One is hairline cracks on the dig, or other physical defects not in plain sight. You said that if you held the dig away from the tab, then all ghost disappeared. But how long did you do it? In my case, the crack took a few minutes - time to warm up? - to affect the touches. Now if yours is held away, then perhaps there's no heat source to effect it; or maybe it would come on without any heat given sufficient time, say 5 to 10 minutes. Two, a bad PCB. There have been cases where touches appeared with fingers hovering over ribbon connections. You might want to look inside the connectors on the daughter card with a magnifier. Happened to me once - bent pins at both dig and motherboard. And make sure the levers work to clamp down the ribbons.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stempanssi:
I only held the dig up in the air about 15seconds when I tried it.

A BIG BUT is that there is the same random touches with NO dig connected, although glued/taped onto tablet.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
I once had a TF300 with a broken dig. I disconnected the ribbons while playing around with it mounted on a dock. I experienced ghost touches immediately afterwards. Upon reconnecting the ribbons, they vanished. So I'd say it's "normal" to have ghost touches if you disconnect the ribbons on this model. Why? I have no explanation. I think I'd reported this somewhere before.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stempanssi:
2 GD.

Okay good to know. But I still do not understand what it is there causing those touches. :(
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuraterm:
Yesterday I have had the same situation. Multiple random touches over all the surface of touchscreen.

Looking closely, I have seen a scratch over one of the two ribbons from ts to ts pcb.

Replacing touchscreen and reflashing firmware solved the problem.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stempanssi:
I can not see any scratches there and if there would be one, wouldn't there be random touches even when dig is lifted up in the air?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuraterm:
2 Stempanssi: Yes, with scratches random touches are here even when dig is lifted up in the air.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stempanssi:
Yes and I do not have those when lifted up. So is it something with my ts pcb maybe?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moke@napconet.com:
Does this fix work?

I hope this helps somebody cause this problem was really annoying to me... I've been dealing with the ghost touches for quite a while now on my TF300. Data wipes and resets did nothing. I recently noticed the problem was worse when touching the lower left hand corner of THE BACK of my case. After removing the cover (at your own risk) carefully, I see 2 ribbin connectors, the bottom one i assume is the digitizer. ,With power on on saw random ghost touches when lightly touching the ribbon cable. There is some white paper tape, i assume to hold the 2 ribbons in place. I peeled up the tape pushed the ribbon cable over and reapplied the tape. For good measure I added some electrical tape to better hold the ribbons in place. I snapped the case back on and walah! No more ghost touches. Try at your own risk but it worked for me and I am very happy about it.

BTW - I also found a mounting screw floating around after removing my case. It does not appear to have contributed to the problem but worth mentioning....
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
Just a quick update. My G01 finally came In the mail ( to replace the 5158n ). When I first connected it ( after already flashing the G01 firmware to the pcb ), the digitizer was recognized but would barely recognize any touches. I then reinstalled the firmware with the digitizer already attached and all worked perfectly! I guess it needed to calibrate things with the digitizer connected. For those with issues, even going from G01 to G01, I'd reflash the firmware. It might just fix your issue :)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lilian63:
Hi everybody,

I juste bought a G01 to replace a 5158 and cannot use it.

It runs with 4.2.1 and I didn't match to root the device.

Just match to wipe Data....

My PC is running xubuntu 13,04 and adb already installed but unable to detect the TF300T.

I've installed unlock v8 from asus website but unable to unlock.

May somebody can help me?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
Download the g01 firmware, get a dock connector to usb cable ( or dock ). Use the mouse to navigate to system / about. Tap the digitizer version in settings like 8 or 9 times. It should then ask for a location for the firmware. Point it to the file , and it should update on its own.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lilian63:
Thanks a lot for this fast and clear answer.

But it didn't work.

tapped 30 times, used the button to maintain for 1mn and nothing happened.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
If you are on stock, it will bring up the menu. You cant click it slow. Tap it repeatedly roughly 10 times very fast ( rapidly click it ).

It will bring up a screen like the one shown here.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lilian63:
Didn't happen anything.

Is it possible to access this screen even if the tablet isn't rooted?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
Tap the camera version entry several times and it will bring up the same page.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lilian63:
this time it happened something.

This is ok for the camera.

But not for the digitizer.

Does it means the PCB is dead?

Before changing the broken glass, the digitizer was already non working.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
you can flash the camera / touch / and dock firmware from either.Make sure it says PadEC and select the firmware for the digitizer.

Heres the one I flashed for my G01 http://db.tt/aifDoi6F
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lilian63:
Ok, thanks for that, I managed to access to update firmware and to choose the firmware path.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
Hmmmm you might have to root it then. It would make things easier.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lilian63:
:( I've already tried to do it but it was not very clear for me.

I found a lot of ways to do that and it seems to differ between OS?

Where is the good method for 4.2.1. ?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
Its easy.... use fastboot to flash the correct cwm recovery. Once you are rebooted into recovery, use the volume toggles to select the superuser zip. I know twrp is touch screen only...with a bad digitizer this means its a no go. From what ive read, cwm can be controlled using the volume rocker and power button to navigate and select.

Need some help with my tablet, also broke my digister. Took it to a repair shop but just so happens my tablet was one without a barcode or anything on the ribbon cable! They tried three different digitisers until finally giving up, although they gave me it back with one of the new ones still attached.

Now I'm not sure of the version of the digitiser it now has and can't find out until tomorrow, so I thought I'd have a play around to see what I could get working. I managed to flash stock 4.2.1 ROM, TWRP and root the tablet so I could get the terminal emulator working (I have the keyboard dock).

I tried flashing an .ekt file I found on this thread but it errors something about "GetAckData". And keeps my firmware ID as "0x0000". I also tried going to: /system/etc/firmware/touch but then found out the "touch" folder doesn't exist.

Does anyone know of a solution for this or anything that I could try? Thanks for any help.

I tried search tablet for files ending ekt finding 02-3011-4820 on several places, not 3011-4822. So why in setting it still written 3011-4822
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
Find out which digitizer they left in and ill walk you through properly flashing the correct firmware. Also, theres is a small Coil ( Fuse ) that is known to short if they disconnected the digitizer without flipping the service switch. Easily bridged though. Other than that, the only possible thing that could be wrong is a 15$ touch screen daughter board.. ( The same part that houses the microSD reader ).

Hi pyraxiate, thanks for the offer of help!

Managed to find out today that they had tried the G01 and G03, with the tablet currently having a digitiser with no barcode on (which I assume would be the 5158N?)

So the current info I have is that the original digitiser had no barcode on, a G01 and G03 have been tried with it currently having another digitiser with no barcode. Also, in the About Tablet settings the current firmware version is something like "ELAN-0000-0000".

I tried flashing the "02-3011-4820.ekt" firmware file as per vadimbrk's instructions but it threw an error something like:

[ELAN] Enter Step5: GetAckData~~~~
[ELAN] ERROR: read data error, write 50 times error. len=-1
[ELAN] ERROR: GetAckData fail! res=1

and then:

==========================================================
[ELAN] Previous F/W version is 0x0000
[ELAN] Previous F/W ID is 0x0000
[ELAN] Previous resolution 0,0

[ELAN] New F/W version is 0x0000
[ELAN] New F/W ID is 0x0000
[ELAN] New resolution 0,0
==========================================================

So any help is greatly appreciated :)

I found that on mine that the latest CWM for the TF300T can't properly mount the SD Card or internal memory, which makes it a no-go. So I flashed TWRP 2.5.0.0 via fastboot. You can then boot into TWRP, then while still in TWRP, using ADB, run these commands:

adb shell
recovery --update_package=/sdcard/NAMEHERE.zip
reboot recovery

So as long as you have the ZIP file on your internal memory (/sdcard is your internal memory) this should run it for you. That's how I managed to root my tablet with no touch screen.

EDIT: The ZIP you'll need to flash is this one: http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip

EDIT 2: You can also use this handy tool for adb and fastboot commands: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42407269. Just place the downloaded ZIP into the same folder as you install this into (might wanna rename it something like "su.zip" to make it easier) and then just run the commands as I said above by using this tool. You'll also need to make sure you have USB debugging enabled and the correct ADB drivers for the tablet.

I've now tried manually placing the '02-3011-4820.ekt file into /system/etc/firmware/touch (this directory wasn't there so i manually created it). Now when my tablet boots up it says "Updating touch panel firmware", goes up to 100%, back to 0% then back up to 100%. Then displays a message saying "Please press and hold the power button until the screen flickers black for a moment to upgrade touch panel firmware again". Tried doing that but it never flickers and ends up just resetting the tablet. At which point it starts the process all over again... (Also tried just leaving it at this screen but it never does anything)

From reading this means it might be the coil that I need to short with a bit of soldering and wire? If so where abouts is this coil?

Thanks for any help
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
If you are holding the tablet right side up, it's on the right hand side on the top, just under the the ribbon connector. You should be able to see it visually if its actually popped. Always be sure to flip the service switch to off ( also on the upper rigjt corner ) before touching anything inside. I also pull the battery cable to be double sure.

Seems a few have had trouble flashing the TS firmware while on 4.2 bootloader. I've never had any flashing on 4.1 bootloader before upgrading to 4.2. A safer bet in my opinion. Are you willing to downgrade for that, then up to 4.2 again? Also, CWM doesn't work with 4.2. Matter of fact, it might brick your tab. If you're gonna use 4.2, flash TWRP instead! Read the CWM thread listed in Index.

What do you mean by CWM doesn't work on 4.2. I manage to root device with it even it took some reading how to do it. So how to downgrade if that is only option?
