I bought them during a trip last december on switzerland. However ASUS Brasil says they don't support as devices are imported, just tell me to get in contact with asus from switzerland. By the way I don't speak french and don't have anyone who can support me there (in Switzerland).

I opened too many tickets on their support website without any response from them

Asus after sales is a bull****!
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Hopefully Asus Nordic is better since today I noticed that my charger didn't charge and one of the pins in the charger port had snapped :( The tablet still responds but can't charge it from the tablet or with a charger...

Edit: So today I sent my phone to repair hopefully I get it back in 2 weeks as promised :(

Sorry about the OFF TOPIC!

Does anybody know where can I buy an ASUS Padfone 2 for a good price?

Got a Xperia Z last friday, very interesting water proof design, it has an awesome Full HD screen, but battery life is crappy. Also mine was with an issue that vibration doesn't work. It's a common issue with some devices: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/121924. Then today I take it back to the guy who sold me.

Definetly I'm not lucky with cell phones this year!

Now, regarding the topic. Hope new update comes with 4.2! :good:

I have a problem:

I got my PadFone 2 out of my pocket to read something on the Tumblr app. So I woke it up out of standby and opened the app, bit it only showed a blue screen and became unresponsive; it completely froze. I then shut it down by holding the power button and the screen went black. But I can't turn it on now. Holding the power button doesn't do anything and I can't go into the recovery either.

What is wrong? It worked perfectly fine for months and I haven't changed a thing...

Padfone 2

Unlocked

Rooted

Lindenburg ROM (WWE 10.4.12.24)
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
Plug the phone into PC through USB and see how Device Manager from windows recognizes it. QHSUSB_DLOAD ?

Maybe you are unlucky and now has a hard-bricked phone. See my signature for more info about this issue.

I know at least 5 people which had the same issue after the phone start to freezing/force close.

This Qualcomm chipset sucks!
[Android General] :
Yes, Windows recognises it as 'QHSUSB_DLOAD'? I wil go through your topic first but I quess I need to contact ASUS for warranty...
[Android General] rafael_mfr:

Damn!

Until now there is no fix for that.

It's a know issue by ASUS and you phone will probably have the mobo replaced. Then no root for u after replacement (Unlock.apk doesn't work).

Good luck!
[Android General] :
We'll see, thanks for your help!

I got mine in Taiwan but I live in The Netherlands and I found that early models from Taiwan are affected with this error. I hope ASUS The Netherlands will do it under warranty. On the site it says they know of the eMMC issue and that I can get a free hardware check at one of the service centers before the 30th of June. I really hope my unit from abroad doesn't cause any problems...
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
A friend of mine who lives in Brazil too, got the same error and ASUS Brazil sent his unit to ASUS Netherlands (after a lot of insistence through emails, facebook, twitters) for repair. As you're already there you should have no problem for assistance.

As mine had the seal violated (during replacing by myself the Lcd + Digitizer), my warranty was voided and they charged me about 1400 dollars for repair (including new motherboard + round trip shipment + brazilian customs taxes).

I'm really afraid of buying another Padfone 2, then get the same issue by unknow reason. Last week I bought a Xperia Z but with 2 days of use I noticed that vibra function was not working (hw issue and needs to be replaced, saw it in a sony forum) so I returned the device on the same week. For now I'm using with my backup device (Galaxy S2 4.2.2 Supernexus 2 Build4) until I decided what to buy.

Please write your considerations regarding this issue on my thread as this one is for development. Sorry guys! :good:

And here I have some Good News..

if you only want root and not planning to flash any roms or other stuff through custom recovery program's it can now be done even if you had changed the motherboard by asus service center like I did.

see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42095556. it worked for me. I'm very happy that I've got root again and can for some time live without the opportunities I mentioned...
[Android General] :
That is some good news indeed! I was hating the fact that when I get it fixed, I wouldn't have root anymore. I just can't life without Adfree, my statusbar mod and some other root-acces apps.

Could you explain why flashing another ROM or custom recoveryy will not work once you've rooted this way?
[Android General] m@f:
yes it is indeed great:)

you need to unlock the bootloader (what the asus unlock.apk does) to have the opportunities to install custom recovery to install custom roms and certain flashable files with mods...

I believe that some few flashable files with mods still can be applied through stock recovery... correct me if I'm wrong..:rolleyes:

haven't tried it yet but I believe that if you rename a mod file to update.zip and put it in root of your sd card then it might run through stock recovery.. not sure yet and it might also depent on what the mod does.. if it needs to do something concerning bootpartition it should fail since its not unlocked...

I'm not that skilled with that part and would like someone with a lot more knowledge to put in some more info...
[Android General] Lidenburg:
It's not possible to flash anything but Asus zip's through the stock recovery because they need to be signed by Asus.

I haven't tried this but you should be able to flash a new recovery using terminal emulator. Let's say you put the recovery image at the root of your sdard and name it "recovery.img", you should then be able to flash it using the following commands (in Terminal Emulator that is)

su
dd if=/data/media/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

That should work. Also don't forget to delete the "install-recovery.sh" located in system/etc.
[Android General] :
Interesting, thank you! So it is possible to flash CWM when the motherboard got replaced and with a bootloader locked again?

Once CWM is flashed, will I be able to install your ROM through it? Or do I need an unlocked bootloader for that?
[Android General] Lidenburg:
If you manage to get CWM flashed you will be able to flash anything through it, including my ROM. Just make sure you root it first and you should be good.

The only thing the unlock tool does is allow you to boot into fastboot, which is where you usually flash .img files but the command I showed does the same thing.
[Android General] sunshine333:
Did I miss a new way to get root without unlocking the bootloader? Don't tease me! Unless I am mistaken, he (and I, having the same replaced motherboard situation) will need to have su installed before being able to execute the above commands. That means having root, or finding some way to install the su binary without having the bootloader unlocked. Did somebody find a way to do this?

New Stone Kernel v0.6 supports init.d scripts (so compatible with NOS), and phone-mode USB OTG Host support

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2231648

Based on ASUS source code v10.4.15.1, compatible with Android 4.1.1 stock PadFone2 firmwares, including 10.4.16.8

init.d support (init.rc busybox runparts)

USB OTG Host in phone mode

UI rendered with GPU instead of CPU, making it very snappy

Lowest CPU frequency set to 192mhz

CPU frequency locked to 192mhz-1512mhz during boot

Undervolted to save power & reduce heat

Undervolt interface (compatible with System Tuner, Kernel Tuner, etc)

Additional CPU Governors: Wheatley, InteractiveX v2, MSM_DCVS

Set InteractiveX v2 CPU Governor to default instead of Performance, to lower battery consumption, maintain snappy performance, and improve CPU freq config

GPU normal freq set to 128mhz to lower battery usage (will still scale upto 487mhz when busy)

Simple IO Scheduler (SIO) added, and set as default

Increased min/max read-ahead values from 16/128 to 32/1024

USB FastCharge upto 1400mA (enable using Kernel Tuner, sysfs, etc)

OC version: Overclocking upto 1.72ghz for a bit faster performance

OC version: GPU overclock to 487mhz

Okey the ROM is now done uploading and is ready for you to flash.

Same features as last version: Rooted, partially de-bloated, deodexed, zipaligned and includes busybox.

I also tried to add init.d support but halfway through uploading I realised that you need to modify the kernel for that so I'm pretty sure it won't work.

If your using the kitchen ? If you just add the init.d support from there it will write the necessary stuff on the kernel. You can test it out and see how it opens the boot.img and it writes on init.rc. Or atleast that's how I've done it and it's been working fine.

I added a couple lines in the init.rc that I heard was the way to add init.d support, but then I read that you need to modify the kernel for it to actually work. Since init.rc isn't in the kernel I assumed it wouldn't work, guess I'll try now and see if it actually works since you did the same thing.

I tried to make a folder named init.d in /etc (with the correct permissions) and put a test file in there but it didn't work, seems like the way I tried doesn't work for the Padfone.

Very similar to yours but I don't have run-parts /system/etc/init.d at the start. Hope this works !

How did you do full wipe ? And why have you done "fastboot erase cache" ?

1. Under TWRP did factory reset + cache/dalvik erase, installed the ROM and reboot... -> one bootloop and stuck.

2. Under TWRP again installed Stone kernel, thought that it might help... restart, and stuck...

Hey I had the same issue, bootlooped basically when I installed any rom or kernel, basically when flashing anything, Just flash back to stock recovery and install any stock rom from cache is what works for me, trust me i've done this literally about 10 times in the last two days, given up on modding this phone -.-" Currently stuck with stock kernel and stock 10_4_16_8 WWE Firmware, from the ASUS website, if anyone has any ideas why I'm bootlooping an explanation would be most welcome.

Try using Drivers from first post, download it directly from asus website.

Then follow the steps from DJBastard http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40533079&postcount=655

It may take a while to transfer the rom to cache directory, cuz rom is more than 600MB usually.

Please add this command to your second post: "adb -s (device number) push rom.zip /cache"
[Android General] mizder:
I just downloaded the google devkit, a quick search for 'android sdk' should find it for you.

Be warned, its about 1 GB in size for itto download everything, but it has drivers for every android device you can find :) Once downloaded, navigate to the folder you installed it to, then go to the sdk folder, platform-tools folder, and open a cmd window here ( shift and right click, open cmd window). once in the cmd window, make sure you have the downloaded and extracted asus firmware and stock recovery in that same folder ( platform-tools) and type in cmd: 'fastboot flash boot stockrecovery.img' (without quotes) followed by 'fastboot reboot' . This will flash the stock recovery, then reboot into the recovery. Once here, type in cmd ' adb push WWE_A68-10.4.16.8-0-ota-user.zip /cache/' This will push it to your cache partition, instead of your data/media, or sdcard, and then on your phone, navigate down to install update from cache partition, and flash it. Hope this helps! :) I'll also have a look for just the asus drivers, to save you downloading 1g of unnecesary data :)
[Android General] Agressorek:
Having problems with finding stock recovery... can I extract it from the official ROM somehow ? :/
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
you can download it HERE

into this zip file contains two recovery (stock and modded by MoDaCo). You just need to use the stock one.

The image should be flashed via fastboot while in bootloader using 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.stock.img'. If you'd prefer to just boot it, you can use 'fastboot boot recovery.stock.img'.
